Hi,

My STV100-3 PRIV is running Android v6.0.1, patch level July 5, 2016.

When does Rogers plan to issue the next patch update to address this vulnerabilty?

Thanks!

PRIV update to Marshmallow?

Does Rogers have a PRIV update from Lollipop to the new Marshmallow?  Phone purchased direct from Blackberry,  but they're telling me update must come from carrier??

Hello @seh

The Blackberry Priv has been updated to Android Marsh mellow 6.0 version. You might need to factory reset ur device in order to get he update seeing as the device was not bought by Rogers directly and unlocked instead.

The August 5, 2016 Android security patch was finally received from Rogers August 26.

Android version 6.0.1

Build AAG111

As per BlackBerry support, this resolves the Vulnerability in Qualcomm kernel driver.
