So the phone wants to update. Should I? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

I have an SM-G925V running 6.0.1 As it stands, there isn't a root for it under marshmallow. Since it seems fairly hopeless we'll ever get one under 6.01, should I accept the software update? Has there been any known issues with this update?

The update probably just a patch to a newer android security patch level.

Possible to get later Android Security patch updates or is Z3c forever insecure?

I'm running SLiMM ROM 2.1 with April 2016 Security Patch level. A couple of questions:
1. Is there any way to update just the Security Patch level without flashing a new ROM?
2. Is there any other ROM with updated Security Patch level I can flash on a device with locked bootloader?
3. Is there any other ROM with updated Security Patch level I can flash on a device with unlocked bootloader?
4. What is the latest Security Patch level available for Z3c(locked or unlocked BL)?
4. What is the latest Security Patch level available for Z3c(locked or unlocked BL)?
On stock .291 the Security Patch is : 1 May 2016
Kernel vulnerabilities can easily be patched and flashed on a phone with unlocked bootloader. Other vulnerabilities living in the system won't be as easy to patch.
forever insecure.
z3 compact is definitely my last android phone, i was tired of this ****.
well that kinda sucks. I really like this phone and wanted to continue to use it as a daily driver, but if i cant get it up to date security wise im not sure i will. Hopefully the Paranoid Android project will release working ROM with up to date security patches(since Z3c seems to be pretty much abandoned by CM). The lack of security updates is a really big concern on Android. It's ridiculous that a consumer who is willing to flash his phone himself cant get updated security.

Personally, I don't care about security updates. That artificial drama created around all these flaws and insecurities that are present in Android are just ridiculous... It's probably one a quadrillion chance our devices will be attacked or anything will happen to them. Just use them like it should be used and nothing wrong will happen. I may over exaggerate the problem but telling you won't use your phone because of the security updates is like telling you can't leave your house because there are so many sick people around and you also may get sick. Just don't be so pedantic, really...

I am using android phones since 2009. I dont care about security updates too but no new updates mean no new features, thats why i am sick about these phones. for example, z3 compact didnt get the nougat update, so i will not be able to try multi window feature, which is very useful. Even an iphone 5 gets latest ios update and features, 2012 model phone, 4 years getting updates.
sec patch level on concept 3636 is 1st july 2016

That's because the iPhone hardware and software stays mostly the same each year. They don't make changes that are big enough to make the previous generation obsolete. So if you want to always run software with features that are 2 years behind the trends on hardware that is a year behind the trends, then go to the iPhone. But don't say you want the latest and greatest and then mention iPhone as the solution.
one year later and SONY forget about us..

Download done. Will install later today and report back . One question though, is it really worth upgrading from B586 to this?
Is there any ui changes?
nope
Only security update, I can confirm that. Even changelog says that. If you care about Google security patches, then it's worth updating. If not - don't waste your time.

I searched about it, the content of the security is all marked as critical.
So because of it, ill update my rom.
Updating now. I've noticed that the update numbers go +2 in every new update (B586+2=B588). The next update will be EMUI 4.1? I've seen on the builds that 4.1 is B890+. Anyone know anything regarding this?

Well, Vodafone's EMUI 4.1 is marked as a B890, so... :d
Probably our non-branded will have a different number code, but in fact we don't know when it's gonna be released.

Taking into consideration that B586 came in December and B588 in January, i am confident that when (if) B890 comes, it will be in February. Although i tried EMUI 4.1 on one of those custom roms, it isn't something really special. Just one step closer to nougat i guess (if that comes to our phone too )
Don't delude yourself - official Nougat (EMUI 5.0) won't come.

I dont think B890 is really a P8 Lite rom. I belife that its a rom from another Huawei phone ported in P8 Lite, branded as Vodafone to make ppl belive its for P8 Lite.
Personaly I dont belive we gonna get 4.1 emui.
Why you think like that? B890 was officially released by Vodafone through OTA...
There are many custom roms based on EMUI 4.1 for the P8 Lite. Even if what you say @Azzureux is true, 4.1 can work with the phone and will most likely will. From what i've read we will not get EMUI 5.0 but we will get EMUI 4.1 that will make use of some "ported back features" from EMUI 5.0. I don't know what that exactly means, but i guess we are gonna have to wait and see.
Cannot install TWRP after thge update. Any help.? Only once I finally got to install TWRP and entered the recovery but after reboot, there was no custom recovery, only the stock one ....
Because it's stock Rom and it includes stock recovery, which is overwrited on the custom one.

4.0.2 update, but no security patch update?

Just wondering if someone more familiar with the way OP rolls these things out, if they only update their security patches with Android version changes, or if they roll out monthly ota's to keep them up to date.
Looking at the Jan. patch update, it seems there are several vulnerability issues addressed, so it would seem to be in OP's best interest to get an update out ASAP.

Moto G5S Plus Android 8.1 Oreo Update Rollout Begins

Hi all,
Looks like Oreo update is rolling out in India.
Source: https://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/moto-g5s-plus-android-8-1-oreo-update-rollout-begins-1859708
Did you got it
I have confirmed this from the support. They say it is true.
Can you send screenshot please?
Is it gonna be 64bit or 32bit ?
sorry, this is not a rollout, it is a release note.. the rollout could come in 1-2 months

You confirm it when people get oreo on their phone, not when lenovo say oreo is coming. Oreo has been coming for a year now.
You'll notice there's no source for that article.

Instead of Oreo update i just got security update of 1st June
I got the June security patch today.. Still no oreo..
They don't want to mess up with bugs, they are testing Oreo via soak testers and it would take at least one month to release Oreo final build for all users. So, jus wait for few days u will definitely get it.
Funny "just wait you will get it" , some people arent even getting the June security update, im not so sure how motorola sends out updates. If they are relying on carriers, then we likely wont get anything , this is why i usually forego the ota nonsense and just root/custon recovery/ custom rom , and never look back , i dont have the time to do that now

That's my last option. Will simply unlock the bootloader. Install TWRP, root and than install tonnes of custom roms simultaneously. Can't wait to install Viper4Android and Lucky patcher. The same what I did with my previous Moto E & Moto E2(otus) and now a g5s plus user.
I am not very eager to stick with Stock rom. But there are many roms out there filled with too many bugs, which made me to stick with the Stock.
I always unlock the BL first if i can , you can always get OTA after that unless you do custom recovery , or root ! I usually dont wait for OTA, because carriers usually scrap the idea of updates until theyve sold a few million of the fones first , by that time , the fone is old and then they feel theres no need to upgrade anyway because there Hawking a new better fone !
I've found another article on Oreo for Moto G5

Nokia 7 plus August OTA update

So, I registered for Android Pie beta program and upgraded via OTA. But later I rolled back to Oreo 8.1 July via OTA. And now I can't get August OTA update. Everytime I check, it's showing no update available.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue? If this problem persists, then I am afraid I won't be able to get any further OTA update including stable Andoid Pie.
Wait for 24h.
I am in the same boat as OP. Contacted Nokia support and they told me to wait for the OTA. They also suggested a method to somehow force the OTA by taking your sim card out, clear the cache of the Carrier Service app, shutting down and power on and search for the update once more (without the sim card), though it did not work for me so far.
EDIT: after waiting for a few hours the OTA appeared automatically, so you better just wait OP.
In the same boat.
I just bought this phone yesterday and so far so good. I've received a bunch of OTA updates but only as far as July. Is there an August one as well? Any way to trigger the update?
I'm using TA1055 and in New Zealand.
Try to clear data on google services framework and carrier services and restart your phone
If not after restart, you should get your update around 24hours after

What is going on with the August and September updates? My last security update was in July and since than nothing...what kind of Android One device is this?!
August patch breaks custom tone folders.
When you get it, you'll have to load notification tones from storage//Music/

I think so too,my last security update was in July,I do not what happening,Nokia-Mokia...Android One,bla-bla...
New update, September security patch and:
-More stable system.
-user interface improvements.
I have to try the phone and see.
EDIT:
It said security patch update but i am still on august security patch so i don't know what it is. 77MB 8.1 (V2.22M)
Never tried the Pie beta but as for updates? Got updated to 8.1 shortly after I bought the phone. Since then nothing. Phone still says it is up to date with the July security patch. Very disappointed with this so called Android One device. This was one of the main reasons I bought this phone.

and you know read? if yes, try again read info on your screenshot, is here (~translated)"Google Security Update 2018-8" and 8 is august right?
anyway "Security Update" not necessarily mean "Google Security Update"... simply you have some as "early semptember OTA update with SecurityUpdate keep from august", is better if Nokia send OTA more that one/month if have fixes for Security, Stability, etc... i think in this month come second OTA with Google Security Update 2018-9..

It is a minor update - a stability update as they call it.
Phone feels much smother after the update.
It is also considered by some as the preparation for the Android Pie stable release - https://www.nokiacamp.com/nokia-7-plus-receives-a-stability-update-probably-a-preparation-for-pie/
Finger's crossed.
