What is the newest firmware for the G920F?
Twisted kernel just may come this way....
Edit: oh well, I tried
PGW it contains August security patch and sources seem to be out too I think its the latest for G920F, I'd love to see a new kernel tbf, kernel development needs a refresh, wish I had the time and knowledge to do it

I am on 4.16.401.10 Is this the current build? If not what is the current and are they incremental? I am S-OFF and rooted using Venom rom. Thanks!
That rom isn't based off Verizon software. .401 is international build. Are you asking if you are up to date on firmware? If so, boot to your boot loader and tell me the os version listed there.
I have OS version 4.17.605.5
Your version of firmware is 4.17.605.5. These most recent that I am aware of, is 4.17.605.9 . The person that posted before you, dottat, and whom I have great personal respect for, is the dev that brought us this FW. It includes the patch for stagefright. I have been running it now fort a few days with lollisense ROM (I too like venom, I currently have 4.6.0 in multi ROM but have not yet booted it). Will probably do that now that you have reminded me by way of this post.
Anyways the firware you want can be found here. Be sure to thank dottat (and the other dev's out there as well) for his hard work at keeping our devices running smoothly and helping out from time to time when we run into trouble.
Good luck
I just came to know of this vulnerability.
Unfortunately I have a custom rom in my Galaxy s6.
It is the final one so there are not going to be any updates.
Anyone know how can I patch that vuln?
Thanks
I happen to be exactly in the same situation. Alexis Rom MM user here, didnt want to update to Nougat. If you find a way to patch it please let me know.
As far as I know, only samsung september security patches will fix it. So, a nougat version from september will do. Or if any carrier release a 6.0 september version, but thats probably not possible anymore.

Hopefully someone will make a patch , like @Tungstwenty made for those master key vulnerabilities.
Anyways i shall post if something comes to my notice.
Same interest - 6.0 MM stock rom on Moto X 2014. Hoping that some kind of universal patch can be made to at-least fix part of the vulnerability. I have a wearable so disabling bluetooth is not feasible. However using a device that's wide open is not going to work. Don't really want to upgrade since there's no worthy spiritual successor to this phone.
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
iOS/WP/Android all the same
I received my New Poco X3 Pro, waited 1 Week for unlock and flashed Arrow OS 11.
I did not install a Xiaomi ROM because I want a Custom ROM on there.
Do I need to update the firmware (or radio or baseband)?
How do I find out what firmware is currently on my phone?
Based on this site, the latest firmware would be V12.5.4.0.RJUEUXM.
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
However, I do not find any clue about the baseband on my phone.
In Settings-about-Android version the baseband is listed but there is no version number close to V12...
How do I get the current firmware version and do I need to update it?
You have to decide wether to work with stock firmware or custom rom (firmware)... the stock is provided often in "waves" so it could be that you receive a new firmware over ota, but a friend with the same device will gett it 3 weeks later. with stock firmware you get some updates, but with custom nobody guarantees you new versions. I´m very happy with AICP 16.1, which distributes a new Rom Version every Friday... Tomorrow i will get a new version with regularyly smaller bug fixings. My version is from 4th of february ... i never updated radio or baseband with all my devices, normally you dont need to, its in the custom roms
I am talking about firmware, not the ROM.
The firmware/radio is updated separately.
since more than 20 years of mobiles i have never got a seperate(!) radio update (but i flashed different radio versions to adapt custom roms (from australia i.e) to local conditions). Afaik stock firmware made by manufacturer, adapted to the given hardware and build on the differnt Android versions. Custom Roms are the same but made not by manufacturer but by "free" developers. If it is not so, it would be nice to hear how it is in reality....
The Pixel Experience ROM contains this firmware images for radio or need to be update separately?

You don't need to flash firmware because any of them should work. I flash many rom but haven't flash any firmware.
In an ideal world, the latest firmware should ideally provide performance optimization or bug fixes or securities updates or new features etc.
Of course, unlike drivers, they not obligated to keep us in loop what the update is about.

performance opitmization , bug fix and securities update should be include in the rom and kernel. Firmware isn't rom so that should be no need.

Firmware is an read only system and just like any system it has purposes which this case it provide instructions on how to communicate with the hardware. Just like any piece of codings, it can contain bugs or exploits or unoptimized codings like looping 10 times to do one thing.
Can someone please post, or is there a way I can find out what kernel version comes with each update on the a71?? Only certain kernel versions work with the exploit (5.10). So, I'm thinking to update my a71 to current updates... IF the current updates come with newer kernel?
theres a new exploit 'dirtycred'! theres some good info here on it and WORKING ANDROID CODE (unreleased for now):
https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1544379506659663872
it appears like older kernels wont work with the exploit according to one of the devs.
I'm thinking to update my a71 5g phone with the latest one UI 4.1 update, but unsure of the kernel version included??
Can anyone please post what kernel versions come in the a71 5g updates? or, link me where i can find this? in all the update documentation, i dont see any kernel version info
also, i see there IS a "dirty pipe" (not dirtycred) exploit fix in the latest updates. i am unsure if this will also fix dirtycred or not, though i dont think it will
