I haven't been around lately but today i got an update for my R1 HD. All the versions i see you all posting have me a little confused and I may not be on the right thread. I had installed with Colton's prime to non prime method and pretty much left it that way. I was boot loader unlocked but not rooted. I forget the version software i had but I think November was the last month i remembered seeing for security patch level.

I didn't noticed the update until earlier this afternoon when i was getting in my truck to go out. So I just selected install update and took off. About 20 minutes later or so the update was complete, I was a little nervous after i thought about just letting it update without doing a little reading here first but all seems ok so far, not the smartest move i have ever made.

I have custom build version
BLU_R0011UU_V21_Generic 05-05-2017 17:42

Android security patch level May 5, 2017

Android version 6.0 :mad:

I ran adb after fighting with it about 20 minutes to make it find my R1 HD but finally got it connected, i then ran fastboot and it shows my bootloader is still unlocked so I am pretty happy with the update so far, I haven't had any problems except that my phone may have shut off by itself one time but I am not sure if I may have shut it off by mistake or not, so I am not freaking about it yet. I was hoping for Nougat but maybe they give it to us eventually but who knows. The phone has been working fine for me but I don't use it like a power user.

so you were on the not prime version. And that line was V12, (original) then V17 (the last update), so now you have V21, If it is like the other updatesit is a mirror of the updates made to prime, --improoved lte for t-mobile I recall being the main one, and security update.

so I can, If someone else do not beat me to it, put v17 back on test phone and catch this new update to make a twrp install from it ,for rooted users .

Or maybe because @Fuzzy here already has it. I can get him to pull the files from his phone and to make the shared update.

just need to "boot " into twrp and pull the images with twrp and upload them.
you do not need to install the recovery and you do not need to root the phone either

from twrp recovery
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 of=/sdcard/v21-system.img
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/v21-boot.img
adb pull /sdcard/v21-system.img c:\v21-system.img
adb pull /sdcard/v21-boot.img c:\v21-boot.img

Version size: 306.45 MB

2.Minor bug fixes

I'm impressed that we even got another security update considering the release of the new R1.
