LG Stylo 3 Plus T-mobile TP450 Sept 2017 software update?

Hi all, I got the notification of a T-mob software update end of September 2017 for my T-mob LG Stylo 3 Plus, the TP450. It currently is sporting the Android 7.0 with April 1 security patch, Kernel version is 3.18.31 and the soft version is TP45010b.
I am not seeing anything about that update on the T-mobile site.
Questions please, if you know:
- is this just a security patch as I'm guessing or a more serious Android version update?
- More importantly for now: if I go ahead and do it, will I lose all my apps etc? IOW does the phone reset to "stock" status with that update?
TIA

Just update with LG Bridge. You can regain root, either with SuperSU or Magisk, afterwards.

sorry if I wasn't clear. The phone is not rooted, for now, has stock recovery etc, and I need to keep it that way for a while. (edited OP for clarity)

well, since there was no reply about updating the stock phone, I took a chance and did the update, and if you are interested, it did NOT reset the phone. All my apps and their settings are still there apparently.
Good to know.
IT is now Soft v. TP450c . Sec patch is dated Aug 1 2017. Still Android 7.0 and Kernel 3.18.31

As a rule, a software update on a stock phone does not reset the system. Could you imagine the outrage if it wiped everything every time your phone updated? Even during a major version update it may. be recommended to factory reset, the manufacturer doesn't do that. They want you to keep using them and their phone and don't want to make it harder for you than necessary so you dont try another carrier or manufacturer.

What is the latest build for unlocked S8+ in Europe?

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

New update incoming

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.
Sent from my LM-G710 using XDA Labs

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

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"

Latest December update shows security update as October

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
11
Android security update
October 5, 2020
Google Play system update
December 1, 2020
Kernel version
4.4.223-ElementalX-P2-4.09
Build number
RP1A.201005.004.A1
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.
