Does anyone know why if I changed the system with odin from SM-A536U1 to SM-A536U and I didn't get any security or software updates I put android 13 on it, it had android 12 and it stayed on the last android update since November 2022, and I try to update it with odin but I get an error, it stays in fail device info or it does not load anything

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.
I have been working on my mom's Galaxy S8+ trying to fix this issue and can't for the life of me get anywhere. She purchased a new Galaxy S8+ from Swappa and after a month or so have it, started having issues with software updates. She worked with AT&T and Samsung and since the phone was still under warranty, they swapped it out for a new one from Samsung. Well, the new phone is doing the same exact thing so at this point we know it isn't a device specific issue.
Here's what happens:
1. Start up phone and wait about 5 minutes
2. Alert comes in that a software update is available
3. Tape Update now
4. Phone reboots and installs updates - states that update was installed successfully.
5. Wait 5-10 more minutes and get another alert that a software update is available.
6. Repeat 2-5 until you drive yourself insane.
At this point I have tried wiping the cache, installing the update and shutting the phone off and again, wiping the cache, turning off OTA updates. Nothing seems to work. At this point I am tempted to download Android 9.0 and do a manual install using Odin. Is that not recommended?
Currently the phone is running the following:
Samsung G955U
Android Version: 8.0.0
Samsung Experience: 9.0
Kernel: 4.4.78
Build: R16NW
Android Security Patch level: August 1, 2018
EDIT: It looks like this may be normal, actually. After checking versions again after yet another update I noticed that the security version went to October 1, 2018. After that it updated again and then went to November 1, 2018. It looks like I just need to keep doing this until it gets through them all.
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.
I just got this phone, however I realized it was running on Android 11, not there recent Android 12 that came out. I checked and it's still saying it's updated but it isn't. The CSC code is TMK/TMK/VZW. The base version is G975USQU5GUCH, which is a Verizon/Comcast update. What should I do? The phone boots up with the Metro By T-Mobile logo, which is right but it doesn't receive updates.
Updates are patches for already installed Android, in your case Android 11. Updates get rolled out by OEM if they deem it necessary.
I have a small idea on what might be happening
The phone was using a software the carrier never used so when it became from what it was to TMK, they can't find updates to configure it. Is it possible to flash the next update with the correct CSC and it will configure it right?
Also the update screen is different
So I downloaded the latest firmware image (WW-31.0810.1226.154-1.1.213-2303) and copied it to the root of the phone and rebooted, but instead of detecting the update file as usual and prompting to update, nothing happened. Phone currently has the last month's update to Android 13 (WW-33.0210.0210.200) and is rooted/bootloader unlocked.
Is the current month update meant for Android 12 only? Now I notice the version number is less than the one I have, and the changelog just says it has the Google security patch for May.
