it's there a way to just apply monthly security update? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all. I'm on a custom stock 6.0.1 ROM. It's working really well since I installed it and I'm pretty satisfied with that but since then I dint installed any monthly security updates so I'm stuck on a May patch.
I know it's there an October update and was thinking if it's there a way to just install the security patch WITHOUT installing all the whole ROM. You know, if something is working just don't touch it.
And btw, developer of my ROM sold his device and there aren't more updates to his room. The one rocking my phone is the last one.
Someone can point me out. Thank you

As far as i know there is no way to install ota or security patch updates unless you unroot your device with stock recovery. Even if you find ota zip file for security patch update you cannot flash via custom recovery your binaries bust be official to apply this patch.

Yep no way as far as I know. I flashed back stock recovery, unrooted, still OTA wasn't applied from Stock recovery, forgotten the error code.

New stock firmware available (24.221.8)

Hi all.
I just noticed there's new firmware. Has anyone updated yet? In using an XT1572.
I'm rooted etc... So I can't quite simply update.
Should I be flashing the last stock firmware i have and then update? The last fastboot I have is the February patch, but my phone is on the May patch. Whatever firmware i flashed gives me another language in the update notification screen...lol.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Otherwise, I'll just do my thing blindly.

After your post, I rechecked the update service on my phone (xt1572 also). I got also new update here, but right now I cant do update (rooted + xposed). WIll try later, but I suppose that there is just new security patch. Strange that I got another version..
EDIT:
fount out Motowebpage
it look like the only improvements are - September security patch there.
Is the update for India dual sim xt1572?
I've installed the update today. The download size was about 40 MB, so seems to be a small patch indeed. I can confirm that it contains the september security patch, haven't noticed anything else yet.
I do think it's a shame that Moto is lacking so much in the update department lately. This is a security patch of two months ago... Also I would have expected them to have news on Nougat by now, at least for their Moto Z family...
6.0.1 ? at the time of 7.0?

it's not 6.0.1 update it's only security patch, we already had 6.0.1 in eu for a while
Has someone already tried the update with Flashfire? Im Rooted, on Frankenclark and Xposed. Does anyone know if we can get a flashable zip to flash in TWRP? To much work to go back to Stock, update and install everything again. Is the patch it worth?
Sent from my XT1572 using XDA-Developers mobile app
can someone upload full firmware for retasia? thx
We have to wait for Moto to release/leak the firmware image, the OTA zip won't do any good... This usually takes 2-4 weeks, sometimes more, to get the factory image. Be patient.
BTW, it is nothing special, all it does is patch to the Sept 1, 2016, security update, including Dirty Cow (which if you have been following the security threads is pretty much worthless on Lollipop and newer devices anyway)

Flash the stock firmware you will get OTA updates.
You cannot just flash security patch updates from twrp or any recovery its impossible.
You must full unroot with stock official firmware.

Getting update notification after manual flash

Hi Everyone,
So I originally installed Oreo via OTA from Nougat but started to experience sluggishness and performance issues. I decided to manually flash the Oreo 6P image from the Google site to start from a clean state and hopefully resolve my device's performance issues. So I unlocked the boot loader, flashed the latest build OPR6.170623.017 which includes the September security patch and relocked the boot loader without any issues. This is where it got kind of weird, after the initial boot and device setup I got an OTA notification for Android 8.0 Oreo thats 991.4 MB in size. This looks to be the full 8.0 OTA upgrade but I'm not sure why I'm getting this notification after I just manually flashed the latest version. I've double checked the build number and security patch date in the settings menu and they all match the latest image I flashed from the Google site. Had anyone ever encountered this before or know what's going on? Why would I get an OTA after manually flashing the latest build? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks

Ver .017 is the latest factory image but that is not the latest version. The full OTA is ver .019, which is technically the latest version. There is no factory image for it at the moment. Just an ota package. Hence the notice to download and install again

[Q] Nougat update is back again. Link for OTA shared

Hi guys,
I have received an OTA update for android nougat. I was rooted and have xposed framework. So I have flashed stock firmware so that system status is changed to Official. I have received OTA updates after flashing till January 2017 security patch. After this update, even if i manually check for update, it just says "Your device's software is up to date".
Not able to get OTA for nougat when everyone else in India are receiving it. I received update for the same device when I had root and Xposed. Please help. Currently I'm on stock firmware without root & xposed.
Update:
Received the OTA update again. sharing the link here. Just extracted it from /data partition. Its unmodified.
Nougat OTA Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6DJKZBTXr7MNGlmUmtmLVJ4aUk/view?usp=sharing

I think Motorola is restricting a device to download the update more than once for now, as everyone are trying to get the update. Let me know if you get the update again. Will do the same if I get it.

I have downloaded it once, but not able to find it in the cache partition. Then flashed stock firmware and no more update notification for Nougat. Even I'm wondering what really is happening.
Maybe Motorola might be pushing the update randomly. I see that many others are reporting the same issue at XDA. I hope we would get the update in a couple of days.

Seems you are using the right version of marshmallow.
What i did was:-
1. Downloaded the ROM from https://github.com/motoxplay/stock. Indian version 5.1.1 (XT1562).
2. Flashed it.
3. Now the ROM was automatically updated to 6.0.1 then 7.1.1.
Just try to download and flash the ROM from here. https://github.com/motoxplay/stock
after flashing 5.1.1 it said device up to date.not working now its Lollipop.
tell me when you got nougat update because after 4 oct 2017 didn't get notification of ota
Tried it few days back, didn't work!

I have already tried this method. Flashed Indian Official Lollipop firmware and it received OTA updates till Jan 2017 security patch. No more update after that! When did you receive the notification?
I think Motorola has rolled back the OTA due to battery drain and other issues few people reported. Fingers crossed!
when you got nougat update please provide date if you remember
4th Oct

May be they rolled back the update due to issues.
I got the update on 3rd October 2017.
I don't have any issues but yes Nougat battery is not as much effective than MM.
But its not draining like other people reporting.

Kindly select based on region.
Updates will come based on combination of country & IEMI number.
If you are not from India and flashed the Indian version then it don't update further.
So make sure while flashing the ROM.
After flash check, should have stock recovery and ROM than only you will get the same.
Guys! I have received the OTA update today again. Not sure where to capture the OTA. Last time I didn't find it in Cache partition. This time I was able to pull the OTA zip file from data partition. Will upload it this evening if anyone wants the OTA zip file.
yes
thanks

[Help me please] I can't update my nokia 5.

I cant update my nokia 5. I tried to root my device. But it gonna soft brick. Then I flash my phone from nokia customer care. After that I never security patch or system update. I've used security patch december 2018. Please help me.
-Thank you.
I also do not have the update yet, probably because it's still not available for my region.
I'm not so sure about yours, as you have tried to root it.. But if you indeed flashed your phone with a fresh os, then that may not be the case.
