Stuck on Security Patch level 2017-04-01 running V10.2.2.0.MALMIXM (MIUI9) - Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers

Hello,
my Redmi 3S ist running V10.2.2.0.MALMIXM (MIUI9) and stuck on Security Patch level 2017-04-01, which means no Patches since 2 years.
As far as I understand, the support by Xiaomi was dropped in April 2019, so there should have been Security patches distributed by OTA.
What is the latest OTA you have seen?
Bye

No answer after almost 2 weeks
Come on: what is the latest patchlevel you are receiving on the original rom, please?

2017-04-01 was the last security update for redmi 3s, forget about getting any update now or in the future. You should move to custom roms for continuous security patch support.

OTA updates doesn't mean Security Patch update. Xiaomi updates MIUI and some features, that's all.
As said before, if you want security patch updates, only one solution: customs roms.

Official Mi Max Prime Global ROM has been updated to version 8.1.4.0

Official Mi Max Prime/Pro/Helium Global ROM has been updated to version 8.1.4.0.
Not much has changed from the previous MIUI Global ROM 8.0.3.0 (MBDMIDG).
Touch screen issues remain the same. It is seems audio characteristics have changed
somewhat in the new ROM (found it to be thinner sounding or having less bass
than in the previous ROM). Also, Android security patch level has been updated from
July 2016 to November 2016 (which is good since the number of Stagefright vulnerabilities
has been reduced from '4-critical, 27-high, 4-moderate vulnerabilities' (previous 8.0.3.0 ROM) to
'0-critical, 4-high, 1-moderate vulnerabilities [latest ROM version 8.1.4.0 (MBDMIDI)].
Here's the link: http://en.miui.com/download-302.html
(Choose Mi Max Prime Global).
Did they try to lock down EDL mode in this update?
I heard some people talking about having to downgrade the bootloader to unbrick after they tried to update in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/how-to/guide-install-global-miui8-root-t3435594
I hope their not trying to lock down EDL, as that is the only way to unbrick if you have a locked bootloader.

Hi don brian,
Just updated to 8.1.4.0 and it looks like it contains the December security patch. According to Stagefright Detector 8.1.4.0 is now totally secure.
The previous global ROM, 8.1.3.0, had the November patch including the vulnerabilities you mentioned
Hi MikusP,
Where did you download the global hydrogen ROM 8.1.40 for 32GB Mi Max? The Official MIUI website still lists only the 8.1.3.0 MBCMIDI as the latest downloadable update for hydrogen global and 8.1.4.0 MBDMIDI for helium global (64GB/128GB Mi Max).

I OTA'd from 8.1.3.0. It was a 1.3GB download all completed on the handset itself. So, does that mean the 8.1.4.0 Helium has an older security patch than 8.1.4.0 Hydrogen? Weird!
Yes, the 8.1.4.0 helium has a November patch. Weird indeed!
Just checked again the official MIUI download site. There's a new global ROM update for the helium Mi Max - 8.1.6.0. This one has the Dec. 1, 2016 android patch level which has fixed all remaining Stagefright vulnerabilities.

About Oreo update

I brought mi A1 on 17 Jan 2018,android version is 7.1.2, security patch level is 6 Nov 2017, i checked for latest update but it showing 'your system is up to date' how I Wii get Oreo update and what time it will take for getting update
Seems like Xiaomi stopped the Oreo update due to bugs. Wait until its released again.
On the other hand, they might stopped the OTA all together.. I've seen august security patch with no update.

LG G6 security patches

Hello together!
About a month ago I've learned to compile my own LineageOS 14.1 for the LG H870 device via this Manual:
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/h870/build
Something that bothers me is that the security patches appear very late. Yesterday I've tried a new build an it still had the December 2019 patch level. Since the January patch is out now for about three weeks, is there a way to add the latest patch to the builds before it is in the LineageOS source code?

Older Android version w/latest security patch

Hello, is there any way to get an older version of android with the latest security patches? Let's say marshmallow with December 2020 patch for example. Thank you for answering

The Google Nexus 5 was released October 31, 2013 and it wasn't long ago I saw a few official Android 10 custom AOSP roms for it.
