Try the XPerience Rom, this has the 5th May security update. I'm using this ROM at the moment and it's very good.

Upgrade problems

I just bought this phone yesterday, mostly because it is supposed to have nougat available. When I try to update I get the message that I have the latest software, but it's August security patches. When I try to flash any updates in recovery through ADB I get errors. Can anyone help me out here?
What is your software channel? If It's RETUS, we should get it tomorrow.

you need to be at the December patch before you can install Nougat.
you can download the security patches from https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/moto-z-play-reteu-firmware-otas-t3557917

I'm actually having the same exact issue. Which firmware do I flash if im Blur_Version.24.41.52.addison.retail.en.US and have a RETUS phone?

I'm not sure if you have to flash just the latest patch or whether you have to flash all that are available before you flash Nougat (Blur_Version.24.231.19.addison.retail.en.US)
Blur_Version.24.41.25.addison.retail.en.US is the August 2016 patch. this is what's on your phone now.
Blur_Version.24.41.47.addison.retail.en.US is the October 2016 patch
Blur_Version.24.211.9.addison.retail.en.US is the November 2016 patch
Blur_Version.24.221.12.addison.retail.en.US is the December 2016 patch

I tried to flash every single ota and always get an error. For example, this is the error i get when trying to flash the October 2016 patch:
Do I need to mount the system?

I just got my phone on Thursday from Best Buy and I'm having the same issue as you. I even have the same fingerprint, which doesn't match up to any of the finger or thumb prints in the OTAs that were linked. That is the issue here. I'm trying to decompile the October OTA, change the required thumbprint (which is why it is failing), re-zip and sign the OTA. In theory it should work but I can not get the signature on the OTA to stick. If I figure it out, I will post a link to the new file. But if I can't and you figure out a way to force the OTA, let me know. Thanks!!!
I'm probably going to just give up and unlock my bootloader tomorrow and flash linage or something. Kind of ticked that this phone won't take updates. Either that or return it for a G5.
I just got the notification for the update, guess I'll give it a shot.

Yes, finally

Applying latest security patches to Android ROM (RR in my case)

So I want to run Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 on my One M8 which is the final version build by bdogg718 (RR M8 maintainer).
However, the ROM version is from September 26th, 2017 so it has the security patch of that month.
Is there a way I can apply the security patch of November 6th, 2017 to this ROM? I don't have experience in building ROMs myself.
Thanks in advance.
I don't think so. The rom has to be built with those patches.
Use the build by jasio2k - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XD69DwhcY65SIbGmQVig-AU6yTcL69_c/view?usp=drivesdk It has the lastest security patch

security patch

I am still on April's nougat update to this day stock non-rooted
How important are the following updates what advantages and disadvantages do they bring ?
Will I loose some of that amazing battery life as some people claim ?
What is the changelog of s244 and s251 ?
With the latest update you will get the Security patch of November and some small Bug Fixes... No disadvantages... Battery and everything else stays the same....

Search on google for lenovo p2 fastboot files or i provide the link below. S233 is a nougat based firmware with feb security patch. It is not a seprate security patch. So everything on your phone will be erased ( except internal storage) after installation.

Is this normal ?

Hey there
Today I installed Dr.web security space App and it detected a few things. Of course root, usb debug and installation of apps from unknown sources...but also Janus vulnerability. I'm not very knowledgeable about this but could it be because I have root, Magisk and a few modules activated? I am running a stock deloated rom nougat 7.0 on my g5 ( everything works super fine )
what patch of security
According to Google, this problem was fixed in November 2017!

2nd November update (latest stock ROM image)

Can someone that has the 2nd november update on their phone check if the version V9.6.10.0.ODLMIFF is the latest stable ROM?
I have the October update and I am experiencing battery life problems, so I need to update. If this is not the latest updated ROM, than can someone point out where to find it.
Thanks!

Yes, This Is The Latest One.
i have OPM1.171019.019.V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF its 2nd november patch with new fingerprint gestures
Thank you! Any ideas where I could find the latest rom? It's not posted on the http://en.miui.com yet.
No problem, maybe you need install last one from miui forum and then update it trough OTA. Bcs they bit slow in releaseing it... Last post about Mi A2 Lite ROM i found is this: en.miui.com/thread-4400899-1-1.html
Is there any changelog for updates?
I can't find new gesture bro. How can i get it?

No new gestures for me, only camera with power button.
I have OPM1.171019.019.V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF your patch from November 1
How many November 2018 updates are there? It seems there are 2. Is this correct? I see a reference to November 1 and another to November 2. So, there are 2 updates, I think. I am asking because I have the latest update, I think. From the the "System" settings I copied this build number: opm1.171019.019.v9.6.11.0.odlmiff. What is odd is that the phone says: "Your system is up to date, Android version 8.1.0, security patch level: November 1, 2018. It does not say security patch November 2, 2018.
I had my phone set for automatic updates, so I never noticed if it updated once or twice.
Can anyone make this clearer to me?

Check the build date of your kernel. Should say November 12 for the second November update.
I got my phone yesterday, and received the October update immediately, however no sign of a November update! Is there something I need to do? I keep checking for updates but nothing is coming! I've also restarted the phone, changed sim, but no November love for me!

no, it's stock.
There is no security update other than November 1, 2018 with the build number V9.6.11.0. But if you are a beta tester or anyhow updated your phone to Android Pie then in that case you can get November 5, 2018 security update.

Maybe I wasn't clear! When I check for updates I get a message that my phone is up to date!
I've done everything I could find online, I've changed SIMs... even countries... I can't get updates!
