Just like the topic says, are we vulnerable to this new exploit or not? If so, how can we patch it? I can't seem to find any information regarding the Note 4 being patched, only the Note 5 and thereafter.

I too was searching for this answer and a Google search led me to this: https://9to5google.com/2018/01/10/meltdown-spectre-android-updates/
I'm still searching for official info but I'm not surprised the Note 4 isn't getting patched. I'm more miffed my 2016 revision Tab S2 isn't getting patched. That sucks.

I saw the same page. Someone out there has to know how to patch a security update for us and other users of older phones. It's gotta be possible. I read that one user of an ASUS motherboard patched his own BIOS for the threat(s).
I was assured by a Samsung rep that the Note 4 would receive a security update, but I'm not sure I believe that it will.
Verizon Galaxy Note 4's have started receiving a security update!!!!
Within the past half-hour (currently 1/17/2018 at 10:45pm) I received a notification to install the update. Hopefully this update will address the KRACK, Meltdown, and Spectre vulnerabilities.

Can I install this on a ROM or should I ask the ROM's author?
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
Most likely the update is only for stock firmware, so you should check with your ROM author.
The update is confusing. After applying the update I looked in Settings, About Phone and the Security Patch level still shows as August 1, 2017 (suggesting that none of the security vulnerabilities like KRACK, Meltdown, or Spectre have been addressed). The Kernel version and SE for Android status now show December 6, 2017, so something has changed.
Under Settings, System updates showing that the last system update was a software update to N910VVRU2CQL1 and that it was applied today (Jan 17,2018). So far I haven't found any documentation for this update so it is totally unclear what has been changed or fixed.
Verizon just posted that
Software Version: MMB29M.N910VVRU2CQL1
Android® Security Patch Level: 2017-08-01, including Blueborne and Krack security patches
The current software update gives you the most up to date Android security patches on your device.
( See https://www.verizonwireless.com/supp...note-4-update/ )
Hopefully we will soon receive the Meltdown and Spectre security patches. Wouldn't it be nice if Verizon/Samsung would post an ETA for these kinds of critical security patches.?
Hello all,
The last updated I received on my AT&T Note 4 was the August 1, 2017 Android security patch level, which was probably around September-October of 2017 (obviously I don't remember).
But, mid-morning Nov 12, 2020 I started receiving notifications that a software update was available. I just ignored them, thinking it was some kind of bug. But when I woke up the morning of Nov 13, 2020 I found that my phone had restarted after installing the update. It was waiting on my boot password, and after typing that in it went through the normal "optimizing apps" screen that appears after a system update.
Here is the information from the "About device" page:

So it looks like somebody (Samsung?) in Korea (KST is Korea Standard Time) compiled the Linux kernel on Mon, Sep 14 2020 4:23 pm and pushed out an update. Anybody have any further information?
AT&T has an information page on the update here (I included spaces in the URL which you'll have to remove manually due to forum not letting me post links):
<AT&T Base URL> / device-support/ article/ wireless/ KM1126949/ Samsung/ GalaxyNote4N910A
But there's no information other than the release date was Nov. 10, 2020. Android version is still 6.0.1 (same as last update), and the Security patch level is still August 1, 2017 (same as last update).
The kernel version in this update is 3.10.40-8932341, same as the kernel version from the July 21, 2017 AT&T update, but the compile date of this kernel is Mon Sep 14. So I don't know if Samsung/AT&T applied some patches without bumping the kernel version, or if they just recompiled the kernel for fun.

It says that the change is to implement a "Network conflict fix".
The build number and baseband version have been updated:
Build number: MMB29M.N910AUCU2ETI (was MMB29M.N910AUCS2EQH1 )
Baseband version: N910AUCU2ETI2 (was N910AUCS2EQH1)
I haven't updated and I haven't noticed any network issues. I'm using a data only SIM from AT&T MVNO FreedomPop which doesn't get updates. I'll probably use an at&t SIM to update in a few days if no one reports any issues with the update.
I took the update around the middle of December (three weeks ago). I haven't noticed any issues or any visual operational changes at all.

Known issues with Android 14 GSIsAndroid 14 GSI binaries have the following GSI-specific known issues:
Phone Audio: When using the integrated dialer, you might not hear any audio on the phone. This is due to a change in the telephony service installation location in Android 10.
Power Cycle: Rebooting GSI might fail on some devices. To work around it, reboot the device into recovery mode, erase user data, perform a factory reset, and then reboot the device.
System partition size: GSI + GMS file size (images named _gsi\_gms\_arm64-*_) might be bigger than the default dynamic system partition size on your device. To work around this issue, you can delete some non-essential dynamic partitions, such as the product partition, and flash the GSI again. For more information, see the flashing GSIs documentation.

Android 13 GSI binaries and release notes
Android Generic System Image (GSI) binaries are available to developers for app testing and validation purposes on supported Treble-compliant devices. Developers can use these images to address any compatibility issues with Android 13 QPR3 as well as discover and report OS and framework issues until Android 13 QPR3 is officially released.
GSI binaries for Android 13 QPR3 are built from the same AOSP and GMS sources as the corresponding Google Pixel builds. These binaries contain the same API and SDK, have a similar CTS result, and have been validated on the following Pixel devices:
Pixel 4a and 4a (5G)
Pixel 5 and 5a
Pixel 6 and 6 Pro
Pixel 6a
Pixel 7 and 7 Pro
See the GSI documentation for device requirements, flashing instructions, and more information on choosing the right image type for your device. To find GSI binaries for already-released, stable versions of the platform, see the Generic System Image releases page.
Note: File GSI bugs for any system-related issues you encounter. Make sure to attach a full bug report and clearly indicate that you are using a GSI buildin your bug description to help us find your issues and address them more quickly. For app-related issues found when using a GSI, we recommend reproducing the issue on a Pixel device before contacting the app developer directly.
General advisoriesGSI binaries offer core OS and framework functionality that is common to all Android 13 QPR beta builds, but they might be missing specific functionality as listed and are not intended for commercial use.
Please be aware of the following general advisories:
GSI binaries are an experimental tool intended only for use by developers who want early access to test and validate their apps. They are not intended for general use.
Using a GSI might void the warranty for your device, erase all data on your device, and might brick your device.
Using a GSI requires a bootloader-unlocked, Treble-compliant device that originally launched with Android 9 (API level 28) or higher.
Apps embedded in GSIs are for evaluation usage; some apps might not function as expected.
GSI releases aren't Compatibility Test Suite (CTS)‑approved. Apps that depend on CTS-approved builds might not work normally.
Known issuesAndroid 13 GSI binaries have the following GSI-specific known issues:
Phone Audio: When using the integrated dialer, you might not hear any audio on the phone. This is due to a change in the telephony service installation location in Android 10.
Power Cycle: Rebooting GSI might fail on some devices. To work around it, reboot the device into recovery mode, erase user data, perform a factory reset, and then reboot the device.

General advisoriesGSI binaries offer core OS and framework functionality that is common to all Android 13 QPR beta builds, but they might be missing specific functionality as listed and are not intended for commercial use.
Please be aware of the following general advisories:
GSI binaries are an experimental tool intended only for use by developers who want early access to test and validate their apps. They are not intended for general use.
Using a GSI might void the warranty for your device, erase all data on your device, and might brick your device.
Using a GSI requires a bootloader-unlocked, Treble-compliant device that originally launched with Android 9 (API level 28) or higher.
Apps embedded in GSIs are for evaluation usage; some apps might not function as expected.
GSI releases aren't Compatibility Test Suite (CTS)‑approved. Apps that depend on CTS-approved builds might not work normally.
Known issuesAndroid 13 GSI binaries have the following GSI-specific known issues:
Phone Audio: When using the integrated dialer, you might not hear any audio on the phone. This is due to a change in the telephony service installation location in Android 10.
Power Cycle: Rebooting GSI might fail on some devices. To work around it, reboot the device into recovery mode, erase user data, perform a factory reset, and then reboot the device.
System partition size: GSI + GMS file size (images named _gsi\_gms\_arm64-*_) might be bigger than the default dynamic system partition size on your device. To work around this issue, you can delete some non-essential dynamic partitions, such as the product partition, and flash the GSI again. For more information, see the flashing GSIs documentation.

Android 13 GSI binaries and release notesbookmark_border
Android Generic System Image (GSI) binaries are available to developers for app testing and validation purposes on supported Treble-compliant devices. Developers can use these images to address any compatibility issues with Android 13 QPR3 as well as discover and report OS and framework issues until Android 13 QPR3 is officially released.
GSI binaries for Android 13 QPR3 are built from the same AOSP and GMS sources as the corresponding Google Pixel builds. These binaries contain the same API and SDK, have a similar CTS result, and have been validated on the following Pixel devices:
Pixel 4a and 4a (5G)
Pixel 5 and 5a
Pixel 6 and 6 Pro
Pixel 6a
Pixel 7 and 7 Pro
See the GSI documentation for device requirements, flashing instructions, and more information on choosing the right image type for your device. To find GSI binaries for already-released, stable versions of the platform, see the Generic System Image releases page.
Note: File GSI bugs for any system-related issues you encounter. Make sure to attach a full bug report and clearly indicate that you are using a GSI buildin your bug description to help us find your issues and address them more quickly. For app-related issues found when using a GSI, we recommend reproducing the issue on a Pixel device before contacting the app developer directly.

Hello. How can I fix this problem?
Phone Audio: When using the integrated dialer, you might not hear any audio on the phone. This is due to a change in the telephony service installation location in Android 10.

I honestly don't know if there's anything that can be done to fix that issue, since it's a known issue. The only most likely sure fix I can think of is to use the Stable firmware instead of the GSI, but I'm guessing that's not the solution you're looking for. You might be able to get away with dirty flashing the Stable firmware - removing the -w, so it doesn't wipe your data, although if you still have issues on dirty-flashed Stable firmware, I'd do a factory reset.

Hey all. Not sure how many people are using this phone regularly, but I'm curious what all of your experiences have been like with this phone. When's the last time you got a security update? Are you still running Android 11? I'm still on 11, no update ever arrived to me for 12, and I'm still on an Android security patch from May 2022. Thoughts?

Yes same here. I believe TCL ROM to be based on CAF. I have not seen A12 for our board Lito. This one posted is the latest one I could find.
Same. No Android 12 (still on 11) and last security patch was from April for me.
I've been frustrated with my Android 11 experience on my T810S here in the USA and notifications that don't notify.... Anyways, I reached out to TCL with all of my info, asking about the promised Android 12 update. After asking me for yet more information I finally got a reply from them which said:
Your model is expected to receive Android 12 by June 2023 (it could be before, or later than that date) We appreciate your time and understanding, let us know if you have any other question.
So, I'm holding out hope that I finally will get the promised Android 12 update in the next few months.
In case people don't see the separate thread that I started on this subject, TCL rolled out the non-beta version of Android 12 to my T810S this past weekend. I received notification on Friday evening, and after cleaning up my phone, I installed it on Sunday.
So far, so good! Most importantly to me, notifications seem to finally be working on my phone for all applications. The UI changes for Android 12 are nice too.
So I just got my TCL 20 Pro 5G & I'm just wondering is there an Android 12 update for my device? When I go to update, it says it's up to date & still on Android 11.

I think that it might depend on your location and the model number of your TCL 20 Pro 5G. As I mentioned above, my T810S (TCL 20 Pro 5G) here in the USA finally received the Android 12 update last week.

Just checked & my model number is T810S. So maybe it's the fact that I live in Canada?
