I am not getting the Nougat Update - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

Hello!
I recently restored the stock firmware in my Moto Z Play from a Custom ROM. Since I couldn't get a Nougat Firmware, I restored my device to Marshmallow and thought that I could update through OTA once I finish flashing it.
But unfortunately, I am not getting the OTA update. No matter how many times I check for update in the settings, I am just getting your device is up to date. I have already been through this situation some months back but I got the OTA update then.
What should I do? Can somebody please help me? I even found some Nougat Firmwares later but I couldn't get any of them to work and I am getting some kind of error everytime.
If someone guided me in getting Nougat, it would be really helpful.
Thanks.

Huawei watch stuck on 1.3

Hi, hoping I could get some help.
I just got a huawei watch and cannot get it to update. It is on version 1.3xxxx. When I try to update it, it says it's already the latest version. Hopefully I'm just overlooking something very obvious as right now I feel stuck in the mud. Thanks for your help in advance!
Same issue here! Own the watch from 4 days now.
Same for me
An idea ?
Ok, i updated my watch with success. I believe that the OTA don't work because my watch is a refurbished one and the OTA system think that my watch is already up to date.
Here's how to update, it's easy:
You have to do an adb sideload of the OTA files:
Tutorial here:

You have to flash this file first if you are stuck in LCB43B:

After the reboot, continue with:

After that update the OTA worked normally.
Hope this help.
Thanks for starting this thread! I think all the people stuck on older firmware are Canadians with refurbs from newegg (incl me)? However, I am not sure how being refurb has anything to do with it.
My watch did update once from the version it came with, but kept on saying its up-to-date after that. I guess flashing stock image is the only way to go.

The issue with flashing the stock image is that you have to unlock the bootloader, and after that it seems that you loose the warranty.
Better flashing OTA if you want to stay stock. I bought my refurb from newegg.ca too.

Same problem.
Then I took your advice and it worked out great, and without changing the bootloader, thank you so much ndompierre :good::victory:
I got my newegg refurb yesterday and could not force the OTA despite resetting and checking multiple times. This afternoon it updated to marshmallow.
Each time time it reboots, I check for updates. I am currently receiving my fourth update of the day.
I guess each security patch has to be downloaded separately. I'm up to August so far..

Radio no more

Hello there,
Preamble:
Since first wave of OTAs came out, I've been wondering about going back to stock to get one. But yesterday I noticed that LeeDroid ROM got an update to Oreo (5.00), so I decided to try that out first.
Well, I failed – the installation process went just fine, however I failed to boot. That's when I thought of going back to LeeDroid 4.00 – wiped everything as instructed and installed the previous version. And now my radio doesn't work.
Question:
Could this radio problem be caused by 8.0 ROM installation even though I had Nougat firmware?
And what should I do to resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance!
The same problem. here
if you find a solution, please tell me, i have exactly the same problem
That's why you are REQUIRED to have Oreo firmware for any Stock or custom Oreo stock based roms.
Upgrading to Oreo will result in loss of baseband upon downgrading back to Nougat.
(new boot.img/ramdisk places firmware bits in places that the old boot.img/ramdisk doesn't see)
There currently is no method to update and then go back.
Your only available solution, is to fully update to Oreo firmware and software to get your baseband back.
There are already several threads which discuss this in pretty great lengths and detail.

So, essentially I need to flash Taiwanese RUU and 8.0 OTA now to get things work?
(My device is TW as well)

Help needed

I am using a BND-L24C567B150 model. On 30th April my phone received the oreo update. I downloaded the file but when I tried to install it my phone went to reboot but once its back on nothing changes. I again tried to update the software by using 'Download latest full package' option. This time my phone downloaded a smaller file than before and once it installed and rebooted nothing changed as before.
Please help me as I know very little about android phones and don't know what to do to get the oreo update.
Thank you.
you sure it didnt work have you actually checked the version in about phone? you say you dont know much about android and oreo didnt change anything visually, only way to know is looking at the version.
i checked, its still running on the old os..
i dont think you received the oreo update. you must have received the face unlock update. to see if you truly received the oreo update get huawei firmware finder from the store and see if your device is authorized for 8.0, if it says not authorized for installation it means you didnt receive the 8.0 update as your device isnt even authorized yet.

Can't get firmware updates [SOLVED]

Some time ago I loaded a firmware onto my VZW S8+ (G955U) which I thought was a legitimate firmware. However, I've never been able to update the phone since. The firmware that I loaded was CRE1 and since loading that, no OTA updates have occurred and even trying to use the VZW update tool, I get an error saying no update for that firmware or something to that effect.
I assume that I would need to flash back to a base version 8 firmware and then see how things go from there but I haven't been able to locate a base v8 firmware - assuming that is the direction I need to go.
Can anyone advise? The phone is not rooted. I did see one other similar thread with CRE1 firmware from 2018 - I can try downloading the closest firmware to CRE9 that I can find, which is CRK9, and see if I can get it to load.
Other suggestions/ideas are welcome!
[UPDATE]
So I essentially followed another post here and using Odin 3.13.1 I loaded CRK1, the oldest I could find that was near CRE1, and the phone came back up and pretty much immediately notified of an OTA update. About 12 or so OTA updates later and I'm at the current OTA release.
I'm having the same issue. I bought a VZW S8+ (G955U) from eBay Seller mistyelectronics that was supposed to be new in box. It has never updated since I received it almost a year ago. It stuck on Software Version G955USQS5DSE5. Any insight or advice to go the same route? I used Odin years ago. Where would I look for the files to load to the phone?
I appreciate any help you can give.
