Oh no! They "usually" release it the next day, or sometimes the next day or two.

Important: The Android Security Bulletins are published on the first Monday of each month unless that Monday falls on a holiday. If the first Monday of the month is a holiday the bulletins will be published on the following work day.

Looks like July 7.

• For July, the Android public security bulletin will be released on July 7, 2021

this is 2021...

 

[roirraW "edor" ehT]

I think they only do it when it will be off schedule, like when it's a holiday or for some other reason.

this is 2021...

You are correct! Thanks for noticing. I don't see any reference to July in June 2022's.

 

[Lughnasadh]

this is 2021...

Oh crap, lol.

Well, they still usually release it the day or two afterwards. We'll see...

It will come July 11th, the security bulletin is usually dated the 5th of the month. This could come at any point, which does not indicate the actual release date of the update.

Isn't it the security patch levels that are dated on the 5th of each month (and sometimes the 1st as well), but they can be published before that date? For example, May had security patch levels of 05-01 and 05-05 I believe, but they were published on the 2nd and the factory images were rolled out on May 2nd as well.

no one cares about security patch bulletins, they don't matter. They are always dated the 5th, they usually have one for the 1st and the 5th.

The update is always the first Monday of the month that is not a US holiday.

Yes, I know the update is always on the first Monday of the month, except when it is a holiday. When there is a holiday the updates "usually" come out the next day, maybe the next day or two.

I have been flashing monthly updates since the Nexus 5, so around 9 years, and my experience is that most often the update will be released the day or two after the holiday. Not always, but most often.

that is actually wrong, I have never seen it come out the day after the holiday. I have been doing this since Nexus 4. I have owned every Google device since Nexus 4 except the Pixel 5

Actually I said a day or two, usually,

Last year, 2021, the first Monday of the month in July was July 5th. July 5th was a federally recognized holiday since July 4th fell on a Sunday. Google released their update on July 7th, 2 days afterwards.

Not trying to argue, but this has been my experience. As Negal said, we can agree to disagree. Peace...

July 2021 Android security update is now rolling out to Pixel phones

Google has published the Android Security Bulletin for July 2021, and they've also started rolling out the security update to Pixel phones.

Thus far, the links are 404's.....hopefully they update soon.

July images are up.

Whoops! You are correct. I wonder if Official Google Android Flash Tool at least works to get the latest update? Although I'll still wait for the zip file.

 

[LLStarks]

The Pixel bulletin says this is a connectivity update as well. Should add more VoLTE for European, Asian, and Middle Eastern users.

I'll try to examine all three versions later today.

Edit: If you guys know of a better way to examine product partition files without de-sparse and ripping them open, please let me know. It takes up a lot of space just to grab a file or two.

 

[Ghisy]

July links are working now!

 

[LLStarks]

Whatever changed in this build, it might not have been in the modem. This is a modem from May and no difference between the July versions.

Looks like I really will have to go into those product partitions. Fun.

 

[Nekromantik]

3 different versions again
Im in UK so may just try the version without country in it

Technically, you're supposed to flash the EMEA one, but of course, for practical purposes, a different image might actually be better for anyone on a case-by-case basis.

Is Europe APAC or EMEA?

The Eisai EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) region includes many markets including Australia, Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic/Slovakia, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand the Nordics, Portugal, Russia, Spain and the UK/Ireland.
