[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterB8835:
I came to this site looking to security updates, too. My Galaxy Tab S2 (wi-fi) , Android version 7.0, shows Android security patch level: April 1, 2017. I have tried "Download updates manually" and it says it is up to date. Is there a way to force a newer security update? Do I have to root and install a custom ROM to get this device secure?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuandco:
Well, the LineageOS builds are up to date in Security Update matters... ^^
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmacmil:
I have the 2016 S2 8.0 but my patch level is August 2017. Since the security patches are now at least 6 months behind, I have a feeling we won't be seeing any more. Is yours the 2015 version? Maybe that's why it's even further behind than mine. I will probably flash LineageOS 15.1 at some point although I don't need its features.

BTW, you don't have to root to flash a custom ROM. Just flash TWRP with Odin and then flash a new ROM and Gapps with TWRP. Rooting is optional on LineageOS.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterB8835:
One more question if I may? After installing LineageOS or other custom ROMS, will they get the regular monthly security patches?
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmacmil:
LineageOS generally has weekly updates so every 4 weeks or so, the security patch gets updated (as long as the developer maintains the ROM.) Some of the less popular ROMs may not see updates as regularly.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emuandco:
Right now we are @ 05.01.18 as patch level, next one will follow soon

EDIT: Like... now: @ 05.02.18

A bit bummed out after loosing root after updated to the latest version of Oxygen OS

How can I solve this, is it necessary to re-flash anything ?

Thanks in advance !
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sansanc:
It's expected to happen that way. Just re-flash root in TWRP. If you updated to Oreo, forget supersu, not working anymmore, use magisk. 14.6.

Thanks ok, so I reboot back into TWRP and flash Magisk ?

Alright so I have a Nokia 6 from 3 Ireland.

Iv spent I don't know how long trying to get an unlock code for the phone so I could use it on my travels. Everywhere I went looking for a code couldn't find me one.

So today I just threw in a different sim and low and behold! It syncs up to the new network no problem.. It was never sim locked to begin with.. or is it possible the recent oreo updates had something to do with it??

So folks! If you've got a Nokia 6 you want to try on a different network just try a sim from a different network and see what happens.. Maybe this is common knowledge? But I couldn't find any info anywhere!

Found a solution

This tutorial worked for me for bypassing verification: [cannot post link because I'm new; go to hardreset dot info and search for lg stylo 3] . There were a couple of tricky steps. One was getting a phone number to come up while in youtube. Just search for KFC, go to the youtube about page and click the URL. Next was having a bluetooth headset (required). You only need it briefly but it is a must.

I assume all of the LG Stylo 3 tutorials are legit after this one worked.

Ok so i rooted my phone.. Followed a video tutorial. All good, installed magisk and after i wanted to update magisk to the latest version it said it cant update because of an error. Google chrome cant download anything , it says 'failed due to missing sd card'. I cant update any app or copy any files from pc to phone. Basically phone acts as i have no memory even though i do.

I noticed that oreo was released on the Mate 9, I needed to grab some files from this device, particularly a file named "gps.default.so" or something around that located somewhere in system/lib64 or system/lib but a system dump would definitly be nicer.

Or, you can help me out in extracting the oreo firmware, I've downloaded it and extracted UPDATE.APP and used HuaweiUpdaterExtracter to then grab the system.img. But I can't mount it or extract anything from it. soo yeahhh
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] revjamescarver:
Extraction

You can use superr's Android kitchen to extract everything from the system.img, he has a free version https://xdaforums.com/apps/superr-kitchen

And for your information, that "update extractor" doesn't give you usable images as it strips the necessary header from the image. I had to use "splitupdate.pl" to get usable images. I have the extracted images, and there is no file called "gps.default.so" anywhere in the Oreo images, not in /system/lib, /system/lib64 or in /vendor/lib, /vendor/lib64. I do not have a dump of the nouget to check but the file does not exist in the Oreo images

EDIT:

Found the file, it is in the vendor partition, specifically /vendor/lib64/hw so you're going to have to extract vendor.img to get the file.

That is frustrating. It shouldn't take that long.

Yes, I know LG waited six weeks for the US997 G6 (mid May, to very end of June), but that was ridiculous. Still, after that was dev support.

By the way, January 15 will be six weeks mark for our open market US998 V30. Let's hope the V30+ release at end of December didn't reset the timer?

Yet, Europe H930 was only three weeks after release.

LG doesn't seem to understand their phones would be more popular if they preemptively put them on their Bootloader Unlock list. So you would know for sure when the phone have out, you could immediately root it.

I'm beginning to feel the same way. Looking like oneplus will own the dev community from here on out. Even at the discounted price, it's hard to say that the v30 is $200+ more of a phone than the 5t is especially if you are into roms and such. If you want the latest hardware with unlockable bootloaders out of the gate, I'm not sure where else to look. For me personally, Id like external sd, a solid camera, AOSP roms and ip67/68. Difficult to find nowadays. Anyone?
