Any news on the 5.1.1 update for our variation? Any rumors, anyone get it yet? Is there an ETA? Just looking for any information anyone might have. Thanks!
Only thing I've read was from @eurominican a week or so ago.
"Just got word from my Samsung Rep that software update is rolling out right now for other carriers and sprint will get it by end of next week"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...c23ram9200srintdeoxedmoddedv1-t3107342/page31
If that hold true, we should see an update to work with within the week.
Should be any day now.

Love how these sites don't put a date on their "news" stories.
They say "discovered only a week ago". Actually it was discovered last June. Google released a security update to fix it on Nov 8th.

Hopefully Samsung will get a security update to us soon that patches this.

So this is totally worthless? Can attempting this brick your phone?

Personal opinion: this is a serious flaw. Anyone would have to be crazy or not care about the results.
Received the November 2016 Security Update today. Fixes Dirty Cow among other things.

Come on, Sprint! A week into April before I get this thing OTA? I'd been forcing a manual check almost daily too.
The S10 comes out and they seem to have forgotten they have other phones I guess.
Why a big deal? LOL, put your thought/time on something else or someone else like family hahahah
That's true tho. But security patches like the rest updates depend on a lot of things... I got mine before one week.

We know Sprint isn't the fastest carrier when it comes to patches. but taking over a month?! International versions of the S9+ had the March security update on the 18th. Delivering a patch dated 1 March 2019 a week deep into April is just unacceptable.

Turns out more than a few of us XDA vets are noticing this.

Just received the September security patch for Moto x4 XT 1900-1 retail version.
Thought I might share the news with the good fellas here.
same here on my XT1900-7, it is just strange that it was automatically installed, without my confirmation
Thought it's October now... Isn't that a month late???

Yeah, you are absolutely right! But unfortunately, that's Motorola's way of delivering update. And I'm not even hopeful to get an Android 10 update.

Late is better than never, which is the case for the vast majority of phones many of which are newer than the X4.
Does anyone know if the FI/AndroidOne version for sept. has be released? Can't find in my usual locations.
Noticed on the Lolinet site that the RETUS releases has "PPWS29.69-40-3-1" uploaded on 10/3. Seems like a newer build just going by the naming scheme?
Just got another OTA, for October 1
PPWS29.69-39-6-1

Me too--that was unusually and unexpectedly quick. I wonder if there is a more urgent security fix in there?

I got the update today as well, which came as a surprise. I was wondering the same thing regarding some urgent fix.
Maybe they are trying to appease the masses over not getting Android 10 by providing faster security updates. I feel like they wiggled out of providing the upgrade. Technically speaking from a calendar standpoint, the Android 10 release was within the 2 year OS upgrade path when looking at the release date of the phone. Rant over. Time to look towards custom ROMs.
i just got november, PPWS29.69-36-2. support.motorola.com/us/en/solution/MS145560
I've seen a thread in the Mi Community stating that Mi A3, A2, and A2 Lite will all get the Android 10 update next month (January 2020).
Here is the link:
https://c.mi.com/thread-2725788-1-0.html
The same inquiry had been made about 1,5 months ago and we've been told that we'd get the 10 with December, but here we are mate. I wouldn't trust the Xiaomi support.
I'd expect the update next month too (buggy, but still) so let's wait a few more weeks and see!

No one knows and won't know until it's out for the phones. Just wait and stop opening so many posts about Android 10

My point here is that it seems like the person who posted it in the Mi Community is having a conversation with a human, instead of an automated reply. Hmmm....

...and usually, they (Xiaomeme reps) never have idea when either, so I won't take a bite on their canned replies. See October update thread too.
Another point is that if they keep saying it'll come next month, at some point they'll be right

No. Like the others are saying. The support team gave been saying "soon" and "next month" since October. I think it could come next month because I think February so quite late for an Android one phone

Yep.. Can't help but agree with you on this one xD.
I honestly expected the update to arrive before the end of the year but maybe mid-range devices are supposed to lag in many aspects. Still, Android One's major updates isn't as fast as I thought ?

I'd rather they got it right before releasing than to rush it and then have to wait for fixes.

Reminds me of Mi A2 update bricks last year.
Hopefully that fuched up updates will never happen again in Android 10.
I have Mi A2 with Unlocked Bootloader but no root(enabled Gcam). Will there be any problem with Android 10 update?

It might be, it won't be. It's up to Xiaomeme. Better to just wait for the others' opinions and comments for the Android 10 update before you will. Even with unlocked bootloader, it still might be unsafe, because Xiaomeme.
Back in January 2019 and March 2019, a lot of Mi A2 users bricked their phones because of the unintentionally bricking updates. And usually, fixing with that problem was rather slim to none, except for warranty and returns. Especially for locked bootloader users.
In this case with Mi A2 Lite, downgrading (Pie to Oreo) do have obstacles with RILs (switched SIMs and some losing 4G connection after downgrade) if users wish to downgrade and want previous Android version, and maybe so with 10 to Pie (or worse). But time will tell what will be.

No one knows. It might or might not. Gonna wait
We will know in two weeks max! So let's wait! As you already know any intel about this is not trustworthy! So let's wait!
I'd expect it to arrive in January. But the most important thing is to arrive with no bugs not just early!
