Upgrade problems - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

I just bought this phone yesterday, mostly because it is supposed to have nougat available. When I try to update I get the message that I have the latest software, but it's August security patches. When I try to flash any updates in recovery through ADB I get errors. Can anyone help me out here?

What is your software channel? If It's RETUS, we should get it tomorrow.

you need to be at the December patch before you can install Nougat.
you can download the security patches from https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/moto-z-play-reteu-firmware-otas-t3557917

I'm actually having the same exact issue. Which firmware do I flash if im Blur_Version.24.41.52.addison.retail.en.US and have a RETUS phone?

I'm not sure if you have to flash just the latest patch or whether you have to flash all that are available before you flash Nougat (Blur_Version.24.231.19.addison.retail.en.US)
Blur_Version.24.41.25.addison.retail.en.US is the August 2016 patch. this is what's on your phone now.
Blur_Version.24.41.47.addison.retail.en.US is the October 2016 patch
Blur_Version.24.211.9.addison.retail.en.US is the November 2016 patch
Blur_Version.24.221.12.addison.retail.en.US is the December 2016 patch

I tried to flash every single ota and always get an error. For example, this is the error i get when trying to flash the October 2016 patch:
Do I need to mount the system?

Build number and hardware version.

Other one didn't take.

I just got my phone on Thursday from Best Buy and I'm having the same issue as you. I even have the same fingerprint, which doesn't match up to any of the finger or thumb prints in the OTAs that were linked. That is the issue here. I'm trying to decompile the October OTA, change the required thumbprint (which is why it is failing), re-zip and sign the OTA. In theory it should work but I can not get the signature on the OTA to stick. If I figure it out, I will post a link to the new file. But if I can't and you figure out a way to force the OTA, let me know. Thanks!!!

I'm probably going to just give up and unlock my bootloader tomorrow and flash linage or something. Kind of ticked that this phone won't take updates. Either that or return it for a G5.

I just got the notification for the update, guess I'll give it a shot.

I am still on April's nougat update to this day stock non-rooted
How important are the following updates what advantages and disadvantages do they bring ?
Will I loose some of that amazing battery life as some people claim ?
What is the changelog of s244 and s251 ?
With the latest update you will get the Security patch of November and some small Bug Fixes... No disadvantages... Battery and everything else stays the same....

Search on google for lenovo p2 fastboot files or i provide the link below. S233 is a nougat based firmware with feb security patch. It is not a seprate security patch. So everything on your phone will be erased ( except internal storage) after installation.

When owning a midrange "motonovo" device, being optimistic and having hope is the best strong suit for waiting on updates ?

I'm hoping feb 9th. My birthday lol. I've tried every ROM out there and they're all excellent, but I just can't deal with the camera. I need shutter speed and iso adjustments so pictures of things like the moon look like what we see rather than a random white dot. I haven't been able to find any ROM that does it better than a stock variant with Moto camera in professional mode, so I'm stuck on Nougat until Lenovotorola gets off their butts and gives us Oreo.
Just recieved today November patch, lol, XT1680 retar channel. Just Wondering why I was at compilation NPNS25.137-15-11 and now is NPN25.137-97.

It looks like oreo is closer.. end of january or start of february probably.. unless lenovo screw up again
-------------
This security patch changelog was up since november, so there is no reason for us not to get oreo, i mean it is probably outdated.
Can anyone with XT1686 (Indian variant) post a screenshot of the build number of the latest January update?

You might be right
Does anyone know why my g5 plus hasn't been updated in so long,
It says software channel retgb and I'm still on 1st august security patch, honestly this is making me want to go back to iPhone, that's getting on for 5 months out of date for basic security.
retgb here also, security is only an issue if you use phone unwisely, in locations wifi you cannot trust, apps installed from unknown sources or dodgy websites, if not doing any of the above you should be fine.
There is only so much security you can build into any OS, the rest is down to you.

No, this is the last Motorola I will own, my partner's s8 has had about 6 updates in that time.

2nd November update (latest stock ROM image)

Can someone that has the 2nd november update on their phone check if the version V9.6.10.0.ODLMIFF is the latest stable ROM?
I have the October update and I am experiencing battery life problems, so I need to update. If this is not the latest updated ROM, than can someone point out where to find it.
Thanks!

Yes, This Is The Latest One.
i have OPM1.171019.019.V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF its 2nd november patch with new fingerprint gestures
Thank you! Any ideas where I could find the latest rom? It's not posted on the http://en.miui.com yet.
No problem, maybe you need install last one from miui forum and then update it trough OTA. Bcs they bit slow in releaseing it... Last post about Mi A2 Lite ROM i found is this: en.miui.com/thread-4400899-1-1.html
Is there any changelog for updates?
I can't find new gesture bro. How can i get it?

No new gestures for me, only camera with power button.
I have OPM1.171019.019.V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF your patch from November 1
How many November 2018 updates are there? It seems there are 2. Is this correct? I see a reference to November 1 and another to November 2. So, there are 2 updates, I think. I am asking because I have the latest update, I think. From the the "System" settings I copied this build number: opm1.171019.019.v9.6.11.0.odlmiff. What is odd is that the phone says: "Your system is up to date, Android version 8.1.0, security patch level: November 1, 2018. It does not say security patch November 2, 2018.
I had my phone set for automatic updates, so I never noticed if it updated once or twice.
Can anyone make this clearer to me?

Check the build date of your kernel. Should say November 12 for the second November update.
I got my phone yesterday, and received the October update immediately, however no sign of a November update! Is there something I need to do? I keep checking for updates but nothing is coming! I've also restarted the phone, changed sim, but no November love for me!

no, it's stock.
There is no security update other than November 1, 2018 with the build number V9.6.11.0. But if you are a beta tester or anyhow updated your phone to Android Pie then in that case you can get November 5, 2018 security update.

Maybe I wasn't clear! When I check for updates I get a message that my phone is up to date!

Do I take this update?

So I just got the Galaxy Tab S4 SM-T830...
Currently, it's sitting on Android Ver. 8.1.0
Build No. M1AJQ.T830XXU1ARH5
Android Security Patch June 1, 2018
It's asking me to update to the T830XXU2ARJ3 Build Number Oct. 1, 2018 Security Patch...
Do I take the update? I don't want to lock down the device by accepting anything that I shouldn't. I might want to root and install custom ROMs in the future, so that's why I'm asking first.
Thanks in advance!

I have not rooted or installed TWRP. I did upgrade my SM-T835C to U2ARJ3 and I have "OEM Unlock" available in Developer mode. Again I am all official right now. (I have not decided if I want to break AirWatch with this tablet yet or not ) Now if there was a way to keep AirWatch Hub working then that would make want to root faster!
Can anyone confirm whether taking the update will prevent future flexibility with rooting, non stock ROMS etc? Also, can anyone shed any light on what updates/improvements/benefits the update includes (outside of security patch)? Any insight much appreciated!
Sorry to bump but still very curious! Been checking this thread for updates since I asked a while back. Any noteworthy improvements? Still haven't updated.
I didn't even think about the bootloader version before installing TWRP. I just installed it today on T830XXU2ARK4. After installing TWRP, trying to boot into android caused a bootloop until I installed magisk.

the updates are released by ESN and every carrier has their own specific releases. If you put your build number in a reply, we can help you find the latest release for your phone. If its been released, it should be hitting your device soon, if it isnt, then youll know that your wait is going to be longer than that. Or you could just go get the latest release from sammobile and flash it yourself with Odin

Just to give you an idea of what's said above, I'm on AT&T, and we are into August, but we've yet to get the July update. Still stuck on the June update here.
