Little confused about the versions of monthly security updates. If i have this correct Google went from 7.1.1 to 7.0 recently so what is the newest version of 7.1.1 and what is the newest version of 7.0 and of those two which one is newer?

7.1.1 is newer than 7.0.0. The newest version of 7.1.1 is N6F27C (May 2017), the newest version of 7.0.0 is NBD92G (Apr 2017).

I think early models shipped with August security patch, and quickly updated to September. September is the newest one. (Mine is an Android One on Project Fi)
Ok, I never used mine on Project Fi. I just put in my Verizon SIM. I didn't know if that would have stopped me from getting updates or not. Good to know that I'm on the same as a Project Fi SIMd phone.
Found a used Nexus 6 (for now) but it has 7.1.1 on it.
I need to go back to 6.0.1
I've gone to google's website and I am confused which factory 6.0.1 image to download.
What are the differences between them? (I'm assuming those listed with a month/year date are describing security patch release dates, but not sure about all the others.)
ex of a few of them...
6.0.1 (MOB30D) Link df7014f9417a886bc9efc79d9a3548add5e0a18aea47f73ad3cd9e535e450db0
6.0.1 (MMB30G) Link d5d540ed1bd8f8a544740dd75f2e8e61a43a15c13a9fa2e4312e86e59830ea36
6.0.1 (MOB30I) Link 3692dac3560b0e03b5bab4c113ea9ebe1def8c4cbc54260b5cf5027829332a1e
6.0.1 (MMB30J) Link dc940f6b6baeadf295806456c46fb1ca4800f1bdb43b3f92c257271ef419b8e1
....
I continued to research and found this from AT&T's website.... (click on the previous builds link on that page)
https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tutorial.html#!/stepbystep/id/stepbystep_KM1138351?make=Motorola&model=Nexus6XT1103
Apparently it lists all the builds... and their sizes.
But this presents another question... due to the relatively small size of some of these builds... which are just security enhancements, would I have to keep adding each build on top of the next? Or does the latest security enhancement build have all prior security builds in it?

Just download the last 6.0.1 build

perfect... thanks! sooooo... AT&T shows the last 6.0.1 build as MMB31C (Nov. 2016) but your link shows the last build to be MOB31T (Feb. 2017).
Well. There isn't any version of 6.0.1 specifically for AT&T so just flash the latest.
I have the sm-t713 variant. Security update of August 2017.
Does Samsung send out regular updates for these Tabs?
I'm coming from a Nexus 7 with an Oreo ROM and was spoiled with monthly updates. TIA.

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?
Well, the LineageOS builds are up to date in Security Update matters... ^^

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.

One more question if I may? After installing LineageOS or other custom ROMS, will they get the regular monthly security patches?

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.
Right now we are @ 05.01.18 as patch level, next one will follow soon
EDIT: Like... now: @ 05.02.18
Hi, the last update I have is a security patch from March 2019.
Are the offical updates for the X4 already over?
I have got a XT1900/7 device.
Thanks

Last one I got was April 1, 2019 on my XT1900-1
The latest update for the is the May 1 security update.
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/payton/official/
Using it on my Android 1 Edition and it's running very well. The March 1 update had a weird bug where the ZRAM would constantly crash slowing the phone to a crawl, no such issues on the latest update rooted with Magisk.

Hi! Is it possible to convert the reteu model (xt1900-7) to an Android 1 edition?
Thanks
I'm have the Android one edition and I just received the July security patch, if that's the updates your see referring too.
On Android One - Fi's channel (but, current sim is on T-Mobile USA) - got a system update 3 days ago and again another (2nd. one) update last night. Here are the screenshots - check & compare yours
PPW* included some system upgrade, where as the other one was a smaller Android security patch.

This could work. For a while I had run my XT1900-7 (RETEU) with XT1900-1 (RETAIL) ROMs. Everything worked except for Google Pay.
Hi, I just got July's update this morning (Moto X4 XT1900-7 RETEU)

Yes, it is possible, but OTA's will not work. Only fastboot flash full ROM every month will work (if full ROM will be available for download...)
I am getting mental with the Moto X4 xt1900-7 Reteu. What about the updates? I got this phone from Amazon Spain, but I am currentlyin Germany, the phone came with the basic 7.1.1 firmware, and got authomatically updated to 8.0.0, OPW27.2, Security Patch Level: 1 December 2017. I bought this because of the small size, and his compatibility with Lineageos, but I need the Android 9.0 Pie before installing Lineageos (this is stated in Lineagerom webpage). The update never come ...... System Update says "Your Device is Up To Date".... Frustating!!! Do you know if there is a version of Lineageos that I can install fromOreo 8.0? or can I download Android Pie for my Moto somewhere? Sorry, getting totally mental Can anybody help me please?

Solved!!! Maybe someone would be interessed about this, just posting my experience
Lineageos installation instructions say the following: Warning: Before following these instructions please ensure that the device is currently using Android 9 firmware.
My Moto X4 XT1900-7 Reteu didn´t get the Android 9 update (still no idea why), it took me 3 days looking for a way to install the update manually with no success. Then I decided to try install lineage-19.1-20221123-nightly-payton-signed.zip anyway and it worked
The process was totally smooth and extremely fast, everything seems to be working perfectly, but I would like you to know that I didn´t install any Gapps, so I can´t confirm if this could create any problem.
Thank you to XDA and all the contributors, this is a fantastic source of info

I felt that Android 7 was the best experience for OP3T if we consider a stock ROM. What do you think? Which one did you feel was the fastest, smoothest experience on OP3T?
