930U Android Security Patch Level - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

I just flashed the unlocked 930U ROM on my Verizon S7. I notice that the Android Security Level is all the way back to May. Is there any way to force an update of this?

Go to Korea and kidnap the team responsible for updating that rom. Then, force them to build a rom with the newest security patch. Easy as pie...

LMAO no no no I meant to catch up to whatever the newest is. Maybe my understanding is wrong, but I thought that the security updates were pushed out separate from the actual ROM update itself.

They haven't had any so no way to get them.

May is the latest patch date for the 930u. I've been checking daily for an update. I even have the Samsung Smart Switch app installed on my PC looking for the updates for the phone. I'm not sure if the updates are going to come OTA or if they will be a PC download only. It would be nice to get one!

I just did my daily update check and a 180mb update downloaded and is installing now. Nothing exciting in the changelog. Improved stability of the Dial??? Security updates, etc.

The update size is 163.86MB for me

They are pretty slow with uodates
Don't hold my breath for it. But J520 just announced with Nougat. Little effort to release it for J510 too?
If it doesn't get it I'm leaving Samsung

G955USQU1AQGA - July 21st firmware update

Contains the July 1st security patch.
Why always only T-Mobile users get all these updates?
My U1 even didn't get the previous update.
Why u mad bro?
I'm still on the firmware that came with the phone at launch. Is there any good reason to update?

Performance improvements, security patches, ui improvements and that's just naming a few.

I am still on the firmware that came with the phone. My girlfriend has done all the updates. Aside from the security patches (which may prevent me from rooting if anyone ever finds an exploit) I see absolutely zero "performance or UI improvement" after these updates. These words are thrown around so loosely and casually by the oems that they have completely lost their meanings. So when Samsung blocks the ability to remap the bixby button they call it UI improvement and so on. So, I'm sticking with the original firmware until a meaningful update comes along or someone can quantify for me better why the current updates are necessary.

Looks like bootloader is the same but there's a new radio, at least for Verizon.
ota received
So long and thanks for all the fish...
This is probably the last official update for our Nexus 6.
Anyone facing this problem?

Worked fine for me. If you have modded your rom, then OTA will often fail.
I've been sideloading the OTA updates for months. Since Google made the check for updates function actually do something, thought I would go that route this time. It worked and immediately offered me an update. How can I verify that it's going to install NGI77B and not N6F27M? I'm on Verizon and currently on NGI55D.
I tried capturing a bug report and looking for the OTA link in the file but am not finding it. Maybe I should just sideload it.

I guess that if your Verizon sim is in it, the "right" ota will automatically be downloaded
Now that the final patch has been issued what & when would make you all move over to a custom rom?

T-mo users, looks like we will never get an automatic update. Have you side-loaded the latest 7.1.1? Any issues?

Using T-mobile network via Ting - no issues seen so far with the sideloaded Oct 2017 OTA update.

I bought N6 in October last year and have been using custom ROMs on it since day one.
First PureNexus and now currently DirtyUnicorns.
I plan on moving to LOS once nightlies start rolling out.
LOS == Lineage OS?

I was getting monthly security update notifications on my Nexus 6 while using Verizon, however that stopped since moving to T-Mobile in April/2017.
I'm staying stock for now, because it seems easiest to maintain Android Pay, Snapchat compatibility, etc.
Does anyone have a recommendation on which build to use if I sideload? Would that be "N6F27M" since the other October release states "Verizon" ?
EDIT: I went ahead and sideloaded N6F27M, which seems to be working fine with T-Mobile thus far.
- ooofest
Does N6F27M include security patch against new hole in WPA ?
No, it will be in November security patch but it's not sure that Nexus 6 will receive it...
I'm on Fi but my phone doesn't give me the opportunity to update N6F27M, it does not show that there is an OTA available.
Could it be that the phone was a Verizon overstock which I flashed to NGI55D manually when I first bought it?
I suppose I will have to sideload the OTA.
Edit: Never mind, it finally came through.
November security patch is out for pixel and 2015 nexus, no new build for our good old Shamu so we will have to keep it with Krack security breach or install custom rom...

Update takes the security to November

Just updated myself. I remember I had a system update pop up a few months ago that immediately disappeared and no matter what I tried it wouldn't come back. I was already on the August update, though. But, it's good to see SOME sort of update.
Interesting. I received an update yesterday for my Comcast (Verizon) S8+, but they didn't even bother to update the security patch as it's still on October's. Is it that much of a bother to include an updated security patch?
If thats the u2qk2 becareful with the update, they reported that fast charge has issues unless you dont care about that
after updating to this build i cannot downgrade anymore ,all odin i try fail.

This is interesting. I just looked and the security update is from back in Aug. I think the change list is the same as all the others that have been out already.
The 810 has the same update with different build number. I'm thinking that these are just late updates for that country. They were behind everyone else.
I don't see any reason we need it. But I could be wrong.
Edit
This is China's first Nougat Rom. They've been on Marshmallow til now. I think it was the last to get Nougat.
