Hi All apart from manually loading on the latest firmware, is there a way to force an Security Patch Level update?
I have tried Settings, About, Download updates manually.
my build version is G920FXXU3DPBG
Thanks

I've just realized that my Android security level is on "1 February 2016" and Samsung's security updater shows no new patches.
Do you know why? My phone was rooted at some time in the past, now the version number is MMB29K.G920FXXU3DPAD, is that correct? Or should I reflash another one?
Can anybody tell me what is the latest build for the unlock UK S8 Plus please?
Current build number is: G955FXXU1AQI7 with security patch of 1 August 2017.
My dad's S7 have security patch of October 2107.
Seems strange that last year's phone have a more recent security update than the latest phone.
I had a software update notification earlier this week, but did not take a screenshot. It was around 400mb and listed something about fix for wireless charging and update to lasted security patch. However, after updating still on the above build number.
Many thanks
Hey guys so I need to download to an earlier security patch for the nougat version. Will samsumg force me the update to Oreo or newer security patches? If so is it possible to disable the update? I'm going to install one with the February security patches.
In my experience when an OTA comes available you can just ignore it indefinitely, it never forces itself to install, but the message will always be there.
Today I installed the march security patch on my Samsung Galaxy S7, but soon after installing it I noticed that whenever I press the recent apps button my phone crashes. It does show the animation of the current screen turning into a card, but it does not show the recent apps. After that the screen goes black like it does when pressing the power button and the phone is locked.
The problem does not appear on the S7 of a friend of mine, even after installing the same update.
I have tried wiping cache and running in safe mode, and even factory resetting it, but nothing helps.
The problem does seem to be software related, because a test using 'one handed mode' with the software recent apps button had the same result.
Does anyone have an idea what would be the cause and what could fix it?
Some additional info on my phone, the installed security patch and the software version:
Model: SM-G930F
Android version: 8.0.0
Security patch level: March 1, 2019
I hope I provided enough information and posted in the right place.
Thanks in advance!

It simply notified me of the update like it always does, I pressed install, it restarted and went through the update process and booted up again.
Maybe I should mention my device is not rooted.
I'll just send everything on the software information screen so you have all the info you need, I hope

I manually flashed the latest update for the Pixel 2, RP1A.201005.004.A1, followed by modifying the boot image with Magisk Manager and flashing that, followed by EX Kernel P2-4.09. When I go into About phone, Android version, I see:
Android version

Shouldn't the security update also be December? What could I have done wrong? Is the Android security update in the boot / kernel image or what is it part of?
Security updates have stopped as of October for this device
I read that there's a serious Jan. 2021 security update on the latest phones from Google, and Pixel 2 people don't get it. I'm still using my Pixel 2, but I'm being very careful how I use my phone now.

So just to confirm, you're seeing exactly the same versions listed in About phone, Android version that I listed in the initial post?
Just finished flashing my pixel 2 back to full stock (Build No RP1A.201005.004.A1) so thought id have a look and it's showing October 5, 2020 for security patch also. Ran the OTA updater but says up to date with same patch date also, looks like October was it's last patch.
