new fireos 5.6.4.0 build - Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General

There was a new build ending in 720. Does anyone know the changes?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=202194760
According to Amazon:
"This free software update includes general improvements and performance enhancements."

This has been out for a few months now.

We have 2 HD8 7th Gens in the house. One got the update on June 7, and the other got it on June 13. Both now up to 5.6.4.0. Previously on 5.6.3.0 (which was erroneously showing as 5.3.6.4).
Probably the only change was getting the OS point numbers back in the right order.

I wonder if Dr fone are using mtk-su? mtk-su is better than using rooting apps as it doesn't install any unwanted crap.

New maintenance release : Dec 2016 security patch

Should be popping up on your device (you might have to pull the SIM to trick your handset into seeing the update).

Just got mine
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.

Is there any way to update without wifi? I have unlimited data through Cricket Wireless but the system will only let me do it over wifi.

No, WiFi is required to get a Moto OTA.
Who the hell cares? This should have been the 7.x update! Too little too late Lenovo.

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).

thanks for this, it was driving me crazy that I kept getting promoted to do this, but the update doesn't work with twrp and/or unlocked bootloader. How did you extract the update to sideload it?

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!

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?

In Belgium. I just got my LG G710EM replaced. The new unit is on p (November security) and no update is available.
This is my third (and last) G7. The volume button stuck on the first one and the second one's charging port failed after three weeks. I can deal with out-of-date software but quality control is worrying me.
I want LG to not to roll Android Pie update and directly roll Android 10 as soon as it gets available.
Android Pie doesn't make any sense now that 7 months have been passed and Android 10 is just 4 months away.
Android 10, may be next decade. New update is just security patch that too Feb security patch

Just received the update v10t-feb28-2019 on my Indian 64gb variant. These are the following changes I found till now:
1. New keyboard layout
2. VoLTE option to be enabled/disabled
3. Google Feed coming up instead of smart menu when swipe left
4. Phone became a bit smoother
5. Photos taken from stock camera look a bit cleaner
6. And of course the Feb security patch
I tried to install the "s" update kdz, Polish version using LG UP, as Sweden looks to be left in the cold. It installed 100% without errors but then got stuck at boot, I had to do a error recovery: power + volume down, when the phone reboots; at exactly that moment switch to volume up and insert the usb cable at the same time and then use LG Bridge.
Thankfully it didn't erase anything and all my settings and apps are intact, but I'm still at the same old "q" with the December security patch.
My EU got dec patch to. Its useless to flash other kdz. I expect this week a update with feb patch. LG must provide in each 3months security updates.

I never once checked for a update on my Sprint version, since I had it.. But it looks like it updated without me even noticing. Feb 1 2019.
Is it just me but are they just focused on their g8 right now lol

Problem with SMR updates, nothing beyond December 1, 2018

Got this phone on eBay a few weeks ago. I love it but when I set it up, it thinks it has the latest updates.
Click "Check for Updates"
"Your system is up to date"
Android version 9, Security patch level December 1, 2018
Software version is Q910UM25a
Using a Koodo sim. Tried a Fido one too. Same thing.
Tried the LG Mobile Support tool, get a message saying "Your device has the latest software available from the LG Mobile Support Tool.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
Normal versions are Q910UM20x not 25. Usually LG name 25,29,28 beta firmwares. You need flash 20 full(full OTA) firmware. But where find fullflash i dont know.
I seem to be in the same boat. Picked up two of these previous display model devices.
One is running Q910UM11c (Android 8.1.0, September 2018 patch level) and prompting for an update to 25a, the other is already running 25a.
I'll attempt to capture the OTA on the one still running 11c. I doubt it will help, but it can't hurt.
EDIT: I'll include the build build numbers here just in case they're useful for anything.
Q910UM11c, build OPM1.171019.026
Q910UM25a, build PKQ1.180904.001

Same boat, mate! I on Q910UM25a, build PKQ1.180904.001 with Dec 2018 security patch. Wish I could find a way to move to regular build. But information is almost non-existent on this device.

VS995 updated to 20d security patch

I just received a security update to my LG V20. Does this mean android 9 is next?

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
So, just got a VS995 in the mail, unrooted. Which is the better root method:
The dirty Santa - https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/ls997vs995h910-dirtysanta-bootloader-t3519410
Or this flashable zip - https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/vs995-verizon-lg-v20-stock-oreo-rooted-t3845669

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"

Can we root Pixel 3 with android 12

Hello Guys,
I Just wanted to know how I root my pixel 3 with android 12 just guide mn or is there already a thread than give me a link but plz for android 12
Rooting Android 12 works exactly the same as Android 11 on the Pixel 3.
Since there were no obvious guides, I just wrote one for the Pixel 3. Here you go.
Thanks for help
Can u tell me is there any twrp for android 12
Not that I know of, at least it doesn't work on my rooted P3 running Android 11
Hmm so how we install custom roms

Update... Android 12 can be rooted using Magisk Canary
I was able to take an OTA update to Android 12 on my BL unlocked, rooted, custom kerneled Pixel 3! I started the update accidentally by hitting that pop up reminder and after a minute of thinking what to do (i did not want to lose my data!!!), I held down the power button to force it to reboot during the update. I have had this work to stop an OTA update and restore it perfectly to previous state. Anyway, it did NOT work this time, and it updated to A12 perfectly! No loss of data, no loss of custom kernel, but i did of course lose root. Also.... when i checked the update version in settings, it wanted to update AGAIN, from Oct 21 to Feb 22 (which is just an Emergency Dialer patch). My phone still shows Oct 21 security patch in settings, but shows the Feb 22 firmware (...016.C1), which suggests the patch was only a tiny fix to the 911 Dialer and did not affect anything else. So this time i let it update, which i started to think was stuck or looping after waiting about an hour, but finally i checked the progress and it was done, requesting a reboot! So i rebooted it and behold, its now running final security update to the Pixel 3, and all i need to do now is root with Magisk and install SafetyNet Fix. Which is the ONLY thing i can think of as to how it was able to do a factory OTA update while rooted and BL unlocked! The SafetyNet Fix patch may be so good that it bypasses the Google security measure that refuses to allow OTA updates on rooted, unlocked Pixel 3s. Yup, on a GOOGLE PIXEL! I used to have to unroot and install the factory kernel to do an OTA sideload on my old Essential in order to update and not lose data, but i was told that you could not update to new Android versions without losing your data on the P3, so Ii just figured my Sept 21 A11 firmware was the final update until a phone upgrade. Anyway, just wanted to pass on the good news that you CAN perform a factory OTA update from A11 to A12 on the Pixel 3 WHILE rooted and unlocked and with a custom kernel, but I of course have to recommend you do so on your own, and if anyone has an unused or non-daily driver P3 that want to confirm this good news, please do so and help convince the disbelievers ! The ONLY thing i would recommend is that you have the latest "Android 12" version of SafetyNet Fix installed with the switches on in Magisk, which is what i had. Its the only thing i can think of that would allow Google's Safety Net to bypass the security restrictions. OK then, hope a few of you give it a try to show im not a nutcase, lol.
Question kind of related to this... Was the P3 kernel updated in Android 12 to fix that race condition that causes freezes if using systemless hosts? With A11 I always had to make sure I installed a custom kernel before Magisk and enabling systemless hosts to keep my P3 from freezing.
