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.

Thanks. I'll let it go through.
Rooting FireOS 5.3.1 and blocking OTA updates will obviously not get any security updates that are rolled out by either Android or FireOS developers. What about Nexus ROM; same situation or would it get new security patches added to new versions of the Nexus ROM?

ggow has backported up to the November 2016 patches. However, a lot of the new patches are for MM and N, so there hasn't been enough to justify a port. He's pretty busy, maintaining several ROMs, so I can see why he chose not to do some later patches.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping to hear, that at least the high priority security patches get rolled into updated versions of Nexus ROM. Sounds like Nexus therefore provides better security than staying with FireOS 5.3.1 and blocking OTA updates.
So I saw some articles stating that Oreo is finally rolling out together with the June security patch. I haven't gotten 8.0 or 8.1 but I do have the June patch. Does anyone know when it could be rolling out for everyone?
I've not seen any mention of a general release of the G5S+ stock Oreo on Reddit or on here, usually if there's an update there's a mention (usually a lot of mentions) somewhere. The latest information seems to be the Oreo update is still in soak beta testing, and Motorola releases the update when they're happy with it. I've no idea when that release may be, if it has minor bugs or is ready, then it may be very soon. If they're finding major bugs, as had happened to other OEMs with their Oreo update, they may hold the update until the bugs are fixed. In summary, you'll have to wait for Motorola.
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/

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.
Me and a friend recently had a conversation regarding how Security patches are handled and I'm curious if anybody knows anything about this. Lets say someone is on a Security patch level from June misses a few months but is then updated to September would that September patch also include the CVE's from July and August aswell?
If updated via Odin and full firmware then yes that would contain all the previous patches and fixes. if via OTA then those will arrive and be installed in the order of release one by one.
If you download your updates via OTA. They will be downloaded to your device once you connect to Samsung's Server.
