Reply if you notice any differences. So far I noticed none but I think that the phone is a bit smoother.
Man, it's just a security update, it doesn't do anything more than just a few patches to Linux kernel.

It's not the way HMD does updates. They always make standalone updates for features + bug fixes and security updates. I think there might even be some policy about it.
Anybody got weird statusbar padding after this update?
Wait there's a february update? Mine still says october and it doesn't find any new updates.

You can get the ota packages from the dedicated thread here and flash them with stock recovery.
Be very careful about your build model, cross compatibility isn't 100% guaranteed as far as I know.
Also the otas are progressive, which means you have to flash each one in order starting from your build number to get to the latest one, you can't just flash the latest one. Stock recovery should prevent you from doing harm.
The fact that your phone finds no update makes me believe you don't have TA-1046 build model.
Edit: in the ota thread's OP says it has been tester for all 3 model variants.

My phone is TA-1046. I got latest OTA by flashing OTA builds all the way december to --> january and then phone downloaded febryary automatically. Maybe there was something wrong with update servers or something.
NFC has been working around of 1 week after the update, and then stopped

You are not tricking it into checking with Google...The update comes from Moto servers. However the sim can cause the imei controlled rollout to not work correctly on some handsets thus removing the sim allows the phone to get back.in line so to speak.

As far we know so far, this is for the XT1575 only... just the December 2016 security update to 6.0, very minor update. Started rolling our about a week ago... a big push seemed to happen on the 14th and 15th with many users receiving it those days.

Exactly! There's absolutely no excuse why the Pure hasn't been updated to Nougat especially since the phone uses a damn near vanilla Android! HTC 10 & LG G5 had theirs for over 2 months now & some Samsung S7/S7E has been getting theirs over the past few weeks. My wife regrets buying this phone now over the Nexus 6P last year & now can't wait to dump this phone for the upcoming Galaxy S8+.

We should all agree that Pure program by GG is a fail. GG initiated it with HTC, Moto... with Pure Edition and commit that they would be upgraded just after Nexus lines
You guys are missing the point.
Nougat 7.1 came out in December. In order to have a smooth update to 7.1, you need the pre requisites which is the security update

I understand your sentiment regarding the near vanilla, and I'm surprised Google didn't commit Lenovo to keeping the pure/style updated. Lenovo has given over to "standard business practices", which unfortunately means that the manufactures focus on updating their newest flagships first (Moto Z line, G5, GS7, HTC 10). This is nothing new and has been this way for a while. Once again, the rule applies: if you want the latest and greatest Android updates upon release buy a Google phone (Pixel). Aside from that I expect very little. If I want the latest and greatest, I turn to XDA and other sources for custom ROMs (which is nothing new for me).

It'll be another 2-3 months to even get 7.0 and than no more updates. That's why **** motorola/lenovo nobody buy the G6 or G6 plus so they finally go out of business!
Sent from my XT1575 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
you don't extract it to sideload it ... you need to make sure you have original partitions (this will NOT apply to a modified system or boot), and then restore the factory recovery. Factory recovery has a sideload from ADB option.
If you have modified enough, you may have to backtrack to the last full system image (may 2016, I think it was), then do the sept update, followed by the dec update.
Those are available in other threads on XDA.
Guys there is any chance of volte update because jio expanding their services to next one year
Can it is possible that after nought update it is possible

why is it so difficult to apply a few security patches. at this point i'll wait for nougut. I've been eyeing a few of the nougut roms, but I see comments about stability and features not working.
do we need to relock the bootloader too? or just no root, stock partitions, and stock recovery?
Hey guys... Does anyone know when I should expect my update to Oreo OTA. I don't plan on becoming a beta tester or flashing it myself.
So if anyone has an idea of when Oreo will be pushed out to the masses, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks!

I'm in the same boat. No one knows yet. There are not even factory images available nor full OTA images on the google site here.
https://developers.google.com/android/images
Until such time as they appear don't sweat it. After they do then you can re-ask your question but you'll probably get it before you can hit send. Someone said they got an OTA on Verizon from 7.1.2 to 8.0 but I'm a little leery of that claim since no one else I've seen has received it.
I believe it was destined for the Aug 21 deadline but some major problems have arisen and I believe it was pulled for further testing. Bluetooth is one of them, random rebooting, stuff like was on some dp4 devices. I also saw some volume control issues too. Yes, I know others haven't had issues and someone will post a link to the factory images on the android site but that doesn't help any of us with locked bootloaders. Besides the fact that I like the background install and being able to use the phone while it's updating. Then a simple reboot and you're done. It'll happen soon but no one knows when yet.
I am in UK and I have already received for Oreo OTA on Google Pixel set.
It can be flashfire updated as well for root purpose.

So you were on stock 7.1.2, locked bootloader, not rooted and you received an OTA to 8.0? I'm not sure what you mean by flashfire updated. An OTA installs in the background.

I am on 7.1.2 unlock bootloader with root.
You should also have received ota update if you are on locked bootloader with no root.
Some of ota roll out dependent on carrier. But if yours is google set, you would be able to receive by now.

Well that's a bit of good news. One thing is that on G+ no one has posted the inevitable screenshot of the OTA notification (which are at best annoying but they do it anyway), so it must be rolling out very slowly. The other thing is that once an OTA is released the system images are usually available with the OTA images shortly thereafter. I don't see either of those at this point.
I mean I'm gonna wait and I'm sure it'll be here, but the question is when. I'm on VZW so they might be tweaking some things before the let Google release it. Not sure how that works.
Did yours install in the background and then a reboot to 8.0? How long was the bootup process if you watched it?
For carrier, like you said roll out will take some time. For me, time taken is similar to update and reboot as normal security patch monthly update where it should take longer as this is the whole different version. May be backbone still same but with just UI change and some tweaks.

Same here. I was shocked to see an update
I've been prompted but have not installed it. Some traffic on android central addressing this but it's weird. Version goes to vs99520d (from 20c) but for someone who installed it, the date did NOT change from 1 Oct 2018. One person was told by LG that this is their patch (Verizon tech support knows nothing about it and it is not on their web site) but I've spent a couple hours on the phone now with VZ and LG tech support and they have not been able to find anything at all related to this patch. Maybe it's perfectly fine but who put it out and what's in it?
androidcentral post is here https://forums.androidcentral.com/l...ity-update-my-verizon-lg-v20.html#post6847295
Did the security software version change. Mine is at version 4 not sure what it was before.
My security software version is MDF v2.0 Release 4 on VS99520c.

Mine is the same, the android central user was told (by LG) that it was a 'security patch' so he was comparing the date under 'Android security patch level' but maybe it's OK for that date to remain the same. At this point I'm more holding off because of being stubborn but I'll probably install it in the next day or two.
It's official Verizon is now showing it on there software update page for the LG V20.
If you update, can you keep root?
You can use the snoopsnitch app to see what the security patch is run the adnroid security patch tester and send a screenshot

You need to use Dirty Santa to get unlocked bootloader then you can use zip file to flash oreo with root.
I was going to try to get root on VS99520d now that I have 3 V20's. Verizon is now claiming VS99520c is the latest. Using their software update utility VS99520c is all that is offered now. I do have a copy of what I believe are the OTA update files but God only know what to do with them. Hopefully WiFi calling now works on VS99520c now. This is the only reason I was interested in 20d in the first place.
Edit: I was just being impatient. I got the OTA update after about a half hour. I'm curious what the Verizon Update tool will say about this one "VZW Utility Application - LG"
The last security update I see is June 1, 2022, which is to install Android 13, which I don't really want. Since there is a a new wifi calling exploit found, is there a way to get the security updates without installing A13 or does Goolge have the deck stacked and I'm essentially forced to upgrade? I live in a rural area and without wifi calling, I have no service.
I think your best bet would be to install a security patch via Magisk if you can find one. Also, maybe a kernel would offer what your looking for?

First of all the exploit was fixed with the latest update a few days ago! The exploit was discovered, fixed and published by Google. That's the usual way a chip manufacturer deals with it and there' no reason why it should be unsecure to use the latest firmware. BTW: No device was attacked.
Security patch level June '22? You want the latest patch level without installing the corresponding firmware? For what purpose? A new security patch = updated firmware and without an updated firmware you don't have any patches. That's it.
Edit: Some background information. Your installed patch level is set in your boot.img. In theory you'll need a patched boot.img with another patch level (unlocked bootloader required => all data gets wiped!). But your device isn't then more secure than before!!
So it's clear in my head, the OS is firmware and the latest security patches rely on the latest OS to function, correct?
