So which one do we use? I'm on Project Fi....
Why two?
Ppl on G+ say to use the J build but I wanna make sure before I side load. Guess I'll wait it out till we get firm answer
The Android 7.1.1 "N4F26J" build is slightly newer and it contains newer "radio-angler-angler-03.79.img" than "N4F26I" build ("radio-angler-angler-03.78.img").
BootLoader ("bootloader-angler-angler-03.64.img") is the same in both version.
c.x
EDIT: I flashed "N4F26J" build (security patch level - Jan 5 2017) and everything seems to be good here in Europe...
.
OK seems J is the way to go. I'll sideload and report back after. Thanks

Which community?
Going to assume the one with the different radio is for Verizon phones. But I'll wait till it's all clarified before I flash.
Edit: Verizon users on 3.78 bootloader could not leave voicemails (to other verizon users), or call their own voicemail service with Enhanced 4G LTE enabled (VOLTE). Taking a guess 3.79 fixes that.
Encryptable boot-kernel for Angler, N4F26J:

I think N4F26J is for verizon, as this one has the 3.79 radio.

One is a later security build? , I think both work the same.
https://9to5google.com/2017/01/03/android-january-security-patch-factory-image-ota/ The J radio works fine for me in the UK, non Verizon anyway.
N4F26I - build date "Wed Nov 30"
N4F26J - build date "Tue Dec 6"
It would be strange, if carrier specific build compiled earlier than normal. So Verison is N4F26J.
The J security patch level date is Jan 5. Can someone give the I security date?
It could be that I has the Jan 1 date.

Just curious, is there a reason for google to post both images then? i've already flashed the J image and all is fine, but just wondering why someone would flash the I image instead of the J. or does google just do this for technicality reasons?

Hi Everyone
I use a Xiaomi phone, I just flashed beta version of their new UI rom (OEM build).
I noticed that " android security patch level " was dated as august 1st even when the beta rom was released in july 30th.
Is it normal to have a security patch level be dated later, than its actual release date in beta rom.
I believe google makes these patches and they hadn't released it on their nexus phones yet.
If something i said is wrong , pls correct me and pls direct me to a site/article that actually shows how security patch level updates really work.
P.S yes i asked in their forum and couldn't get a proper response
Hello and thank you for posting in the Q&A section,
it can't be. Google hasn't released the new security updated yet.
Check with Stagefright Detector, if your device is vulnerable.

This article really cleared my doubts,
http://www.androidcentral.com/monthly-security-patches-are-most-important-updates-youll-never-get
from the article
Google's partners who make the phones we love get the changes a month in advance so they can also be ready to update as soon as they can. Some, like BlackBerry, are able to push these updates right away, with a short delay for carrier branded (remember this, it's important) models. Others take a little longer, and some phones will never, ever get any security patches.

It usually takes Asus a while to post anything related to updates with their watches
So release updates without change logs....then post change logs. Strange. Asus forums have a post about it. Claims just security updates, posted by a moderator.

Hi guys, as reported on the vodafone italian forum this week has been released a new update for G6, now is available trough LGBridge (didn't check trough OTA).
Don't which patch are, or if there are any difference because "Bridge is a Britch" (Sorry), and it'll take a while to download the entire KDZ of 3.04GB.
I'll keep you updated about possible changes, cheers

That's not so important for two major reasons:
- 821 is not vulnerable to Meltdown
- Spectre is a vulnerability that cannot be soft-patched, patches are only to block some applications of Spectre.
Anyway they're still better than December patch xD
in any case g6 no brand ita no update of the patches at the moment, nor through ota or lg bridge,in any case if I have the chance to sell the g6 and I'll take another.

We've been without updates for several months and received November patch at the end of December, this is why it's surprising to see January patch.

Yeah... But you see that is only ninja smoke... This is did to forget for a while about android 8.0 update... And also my humble opinion is that this security update don't matter. And keep in mind if someone with the right know how wants to find an exploit to access your phones it will be done...

It's not ninja smoke, it's what LG should have done since ever like other OEMs, realising updates frequently. No one forgot the late 8.0 update, i am (and probably all) angry with LG for late Major updates without any right excuse (like introducing treble, for example).
Also security patch are important when there are RELEASED vulnerability that allows anyone with the right abilities to steal your data, your money or whatever else, like the Krack vulnerability, which is KNOWN since november and patched in december and we received the update now.
I see much negativity coming from you, you're right, if an hacker wants your data will probably get those anyway, but the probability is low like many other scenarios.
To sum up:
- I'm happy to have received a new update
- I'm happy that my device is more secure
- I'm UNhappy that LG won't update the G6 soon to Oreo.
That's all for me =)

My opinion is that most of us, here we've got our phones rooted and we also have a bunch of apps that can be manipulateed to gain access in our phones and in my opinion, for me is not so much of LG work but for the work of developers here that patch the systems and kernels and apps that we use daily. My current negativity through all the talk here, about this patch is regarding the pressure on developers to upgrade their work. And I know that none ask for the exact date of upgrade, but some people pointed out the release of the patch and wanted a new upgrade... So this seems to me a bit rude... I don't want to fight with anyone... But I needed to express my thoughts. Have a good one guys and enjoy a great device

Devs here on XDA do this because they like doing it, that's why it's not correct to press them for updates. But OEMs devs are different, they're paid for what they're doing like my boss pay me for the work i do, and he expect me to do my best. Here it's LG fault (concerning the both lack of updates between July and December and Oreo) because other OEMs have already updated their flagship devices, and some also their medium range devices.
I never press devs of apps, mods, kernel or ROMs because they make me a favor. I press OEMs' devs because they're paid for what they're doing, and because all other OEM's devs are doing a better job.
Hope i've been more clear, there is no reason to fight, we're discussing our own ideas, i'm not angry with you only because you expressed your thoughts

Someone have the kdz unbrand? I'm with a brand Tim g6 till on july patch, it's time to manually update.
are we expecting an update on the 4 of April?
updates are usually planned for the first Monday of the month right?
Right
I personally am not expecting this phone to get updated on the first Monday. And technically that would not even be a month from the last update anyway. For whatever reason Google really hasn't been able to keep this phone on the same schedule as the others. I could be due to the fact that it is the only one and Linux kernel version 5 all others are on version 4. Or maybe it's because they have too much other crap going on with dev previews. We had 12l dp which as really only a feature drop. Then we have 13 beta. And then they announced that the 12l program would be continues as a monthly platform for the next feature drop. So I personally think they took on too much. Then you add in the the p6 is a completely different phone than the previous generations of pixels. They still haven't figured out the modem yet.
So my answer is no I don't expect it the first Monday in April maybe the second Monday.... maybe
Yes l am expecting an update on Monday, Google need to start releasing timely updates for there latest phones.
Without any actual information on which to base my opinion, I'm guessing yes we'll see the update on the 4th. It's not a Feature drop month so the update will be simpler, and they really need to incorporate the dirty pipe patched kernel.
I'm not expecting anything. I'll wait until my Pixel 6 comes back from RMA (for the second time) and then I'll sell that POS.
Haptics!!!
The March update seemed to be on schedule for the older Pixel devices using older kernels. I believe that latest devices with the newer kernels were delayed because of the 0-day exploit that was discovered last-minute. They wanted to patch that in the March update.
So barring anything like that then I would expect Google to be on time with the April update. Or at least not as late as the March update was.
The only bad thing about updates is the unnecessary new threads from peeps not understanding what they are doing.
Also custom Roms create issues.
I guess flashing and modding for the hell of it with no idea why. Is like a drug to some peeps.

The fix is in kernel version 5.10.102 and above and the kernel version for the March update is 5.10.66. The CVE for this vulnerability is not listed in the March update either.
I don't believe they fixed this in March.

You are correct. They didn't fix the dirty pipe vulnerability with the March update and in fact Google confirmed that the delay in March was not due to this particular vulnerability.

AS far as I know, the dirty pipe vulnerability can be included in a compromised app.
Fido hasn't listed anything yet.
The March update was released on 03/21, right? That will be two weeks tomorrow -- seems an awful short turnaround.
I'll be pretty surprised if the April update rolls out on the 4th.
It`s here.
Update 12.1.0 (SP2A.220405.004, Apr 2022) released 1PM EDT April 4th
Still Kernel 5.10.66.
where do we find a changelog?
there was a patch out in January for dirtypipes but as of April dirty pipes was not fixed on the Pixel 6
did it get fixed in the may update because i see no other reason to update and risk new bugs.
Improvements for haptic feedback
Fixes for display & launcher
Latest security fixes
the fixes listed are not important
i think it might be time to jump to protonaosp or some other custom rom..

If you're talking to me then the answer is nothing since I don't care. I installed it already but I'm not squeamish about updating the monthly security updates so I flashed back to stock, locked bootloader. If you are leary then it is probably a good idea for you to try it out. I'm basically curious what you think since I already know what I think. Since the rom is basically stock with no kernel changes you'll be waiting for a while to get the dirty pipe fix unless you pay and even then you'll wait. They have a pretty active Telegram channel so you should check it out.
