US-LTE Vulkan Update and Carrier-Approved Update - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I signed up for Vulkan Developer preview for my US LTE shield tablet and had 6.0.1 installed. It was great.
Then, just a few weeks ago, it got updated with Mar. 1 security patch but the way it was sent to me was kinda weird - no info on updates. It simply stated file not found. Normally for every update, a list of update description would be provided. I guess maybe it was because of the developer update.
Then yesterday, update 4.1.0 started rolling out for US LTE version. I don't know what is the difference compared with the developer preview. Is the Nvidia released more polished? Could someone provide some info how to determine which is better? If I download the official Nvidia release, can I install it without affecting my apps and data?
Thanks!

5.1 Update Out?

Ok, So I posted about a week ago and someone said that Nvidia had pulled the OTA 5.1 update because they had issues.
Have they started rolling the OTA back out yet? Still on 5.0 and would like the update soon.
My bootloader is unlocked, but I'm running the stock 5.0 ROM. What would be the best method of getting it?
Thanks in advance.
No, it's not out yet. nVidia hasn't said much about it, it's been terribly quiet...
from twitter: "We are working hard to finish up fixes for issues reported in OTA 3.0.I'll see if I can give a better date once fixes are verified."

Updates for 6.0.1 without installing 7.0

I had installed Nougat as soon as it was available for my S7 and never really liked the battery life. Maybe I could have tried to fix it but instead I downgraded back to 6.0.1 through Odin.
So far every thing is fine. But the first and only update that I received is the 7.0 upgrade again. Ofcourse I didn't install it this time. But it looks like I'm not getting any other updates or patches now.
When I look at the Security patch level, that is from Dec. 2016.
I think I don't get any updates for 6.0.1 now because the is an upgrade waiting to be downloaded and installed.
Is that how it works or am I missing something.
Thanks.

Install the last (newest) 6.0.1 ROM, and that is the last update you will get for it, it's not like Windows
If you want to stay up to date with security updates you MUST be running the latest available ROM, which is 7.0
Thanks.
I have the latest rom I could find. And was hoping I would get at least the latest security updates for 6.0.1.
Looks like I will have an other look at 7.0 again soon.

Nope, mobile OS's are discontinued once a new major OS version is released

Security Patch Update

Is anyone else disappointed that the security patch updates are taking so long to be released. . We're 3 months behind now.

Can't tell you because I don't have the phone yet
Update in HKG is available...
OPM1.171019.026.WW_PHONE-15.1616.1809.48-0
Right after the REBOOT, I noticed the dpi scaling has been updated, and the fonts are smoother than before, but now the brightness seems to have been lowered.
I used to have it at 25% brightness, and now I am at 50%

You can download directly from the asus website
I see there only the: Version WW-15.1616.1809.48 and not the version you specified WW-15.1616.1809.48-0, you probably mean the version WW-15.1616.1809.48, but there are already since 2018.11.13
CN-15.1618.1810.77 & WW-15.1618.1810.77 firmware are now available for download! :good:

If you don't root the phone, OTA works.
New update: 15.1630.1811.32
At the moment it is OTA only.
ROG LED now can be used for notifications. I don't know of the other fixes.
Just downloaded it and extracted the boot.img, this evening I will flash it and root
My current version is Version WW_ZS600KL_15.1630.1811.32_0 (19/12/2018) this took a few manual scans to automatically download this. While browsing the site today i see a newer update version WW.15.1618.1810.77 (20/12/2018) however the version number is lower than the one i already have . I guess im currently up to date based on version but based on date am i out? also does anyone know how long it takes for the phone to receive the updates without manually scanning?

I think they messed up. 1811.32 is the latest version. Unless there was something wrong with it and they did a rollback.
With the last version 32 I have some issues, for example the WiFi
