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..
The next phone will be from another company..

3. CarbonROM 5.1 with security level Nov 2017
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/cr-5-1-carbonrom-t3529766
Regarding number 3, there are some custom ROMs available, such as:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/orig-development/oreo-unofficial-omnirom-t3696536
The ROM mentioned in the link above contains security patches from Dec 2017. Look at the feature list (what's working and what not) before flashing.
Hope that helps
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
https://support.motorola.com/us/en/Solution/MS130856
I too got security patch update only.

It's kind of weird because if you see Xiaomi was part of Android P beta program, so was OnePlus and Nokia, both of them have rolled out the Pie update, but Xiaomi is still testing the beta builds. 22 August was when they started beta program and still it continues.

Which Android one devices got the final pie update? None to my knowledge. Also beta program doesn't necessarily mean pie. There have been some beta Oreo versions already.

Not sure if you are a bot or not.I see you everywhere here in XDA and miui forums ,saying the same comment over and over again.
September update was released at the end of September (about 20th), and the PIE is rumored to be released in December for our phones.
Patience !

There is no rumour. It's just that Q4 ends in December so this is the latest date where the "promised" date ends. So all we can do is wait and see but let's not make people false hopes about dates. It will come when it's ready or in Xiaomis case, when they want to beta test on their users
But still would be nice to know if beta testers are already testing something with a 9 in front. So come here my whistleblowers
Also companies like tradingshenzen are not shipping from china until today, so don't expect any update soon. Golden week holidays lasted until last Sunday.

you would want to look at this post. Nokia 7 plus being under Andriod One program received Pie update, a couple of weeks ago.
https://www.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus-android-pie-update/
And ever since the A2 has launched there has not been any beta build of Oreo, so guess, that makes it Pie beta program, doesn't it?

I bought Android One phone to receive Updates on time. But now I will wait months to get updates. So I think Android One Project form Google has failed and I'm sorry for them.

hi there, I updated my LG Q7 ROM through OTA, now I have android patch level Jan 1st 2019, kernel 3.18.79, - I was wondering if anyone been able to catch the details of changelog. Peace everyone :fingers-crossed:
Less chance to get root via third party tools like Kingoroot.
Why so naive?

A bit harsh, seeing August is only seven days old.
We'll probably receive it Friday from de 3rd or 4th week of the month like usually.
Is there anything special with August update? Like any new feature that you know?
