OTA : forced to use WIfi?! - Moto Z2 Play Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
I've just received the notification for the OTA (with the december security patch and the KRACK patch) but I can only download it via WIFI (even though I've got plenty of data on my plan...)
On my previous phones (Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Lenovo P2), I was able to force the download via mobile data. Am I going crazy or is it a new google policy? Is it any way to circumvent this restriction?
Thank you for your help.
PS: I'm still disapointed that this OTA isn't OREO, but at least we get security patches, yeay!!

You are not going crazy and it's not really new.
I do not know of a way to force it over cellular service.

I don't how you guys are facing this issue, for me I always get the option to download OTA via 1- only WiFi 2-WiFi or Mobile Data. i always use option 2 and download ota with mobile data.

Perhaps is a carrier or data plan difference.

[Q] Nexus 7 LTE 2013 5.0.2 Cannot add my Google Account

Hello guys
I am having problems with my Nexus 7 2013 LTE, After updating using OTA I was not able to download or update Apps using play store, so I removed my account just to find out that I can't re-add the account. So I factory reset the device but again I am not able to add my account.
The message I get is:
Can't establish a reliable connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your Android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues , call customer Care.
I tried everything my mind can thing. Wiping data and cache, flashing stock image, locking and unlocking bootloader. Tested using 2 Accounts and I even created a new one from the Nexus without luck. I am not using 2 way verification.
Any help?
thanks
No one has this problem?
Have you tried doing it on both WiFi and LTE?

Make sure your Date & Time is set correctly.
Tested under wi-fi / 3g (no lte here), The date is set correctly.
Under Kitkat all works fine. The problem is only with lollipop. If I get the ota and just update I can't download anything from play store, if I clean install I can't sign in with google accounts.

[Q] The exact same OTA Updates constantly coming to my device?

I have literally said yes to updating every time it pops up. I know it's the same, because it's the same size every time (293.3 MB). Not to mention I've said "accept" every time, installed, reboots my device, then couple days later it tells me to do it again. Another thing to note are the same 3 systems apps asking to be updated (Voice Mate Speech Pack, Voice Mate, Voice Mate Engine).
Text from the update:
This update will ensure your device is working at optimal performance with the Sprint Network. The update will require that your phone is rebooted and it will not be available for emergency calls while installing the software.
My LG G3 is the Sprint variant (ls990), rooted via Stump Root and on the stock android. I have used G3 TweaksBox, as well as installed Xposed.
PM me for a link to the screenshots.
Anyone with an answer? Google only refers to Lollipop updates that are still not here anyways

You know OTA`s will only be installed when a device is unrooted and doesn`t have any system modifications. Either disable OTA notifications or flash a stock rom and have root removed or flash a custom recovery and rom.

Yaar my issue still exists its not rooted and I am using in Pakistan - also my Roaming setting crashes as soon as I open it. Would be better to root and add custom ROM to it?

I sideloaded the OTA the same day it released instead of waiting for it to be pushed to my phone.

I'm still on DP2 with the Nov 5 patch level. Figured being in the beta program I'd get the official patch right away but nothing yet.
Mee too still no dec patch
my understanding is on beta you will not get the security patches, when the dp2 becomes the propper version then remember to come out the beta program
Still no OTA for my Pixel XL.
Stock 8.0 Nov security patch.
Sideloaded it here.. not waiting!
Definitely the 8.1
So, there are 2 Google Pixel 2 XL phones in the house... 1 64GB and 1 128GB. Guess which one got the 8.1 update (528GB)? That's right, the 64GB! The 128GB is still waiting...
Both phones were purchased straight from Google and added to AT&T

In my case i just opted out beta program, check settings and received 8.0.0 notification. It erased my phone but i don't care. Installed and check for 8.1. Received as well and done.
Backup tool in pixel and auto fill for my passwords made it easy
Now I'm on 8.1 december security patch. Always locked and never with root

I also sideloaded shortly after it was posted on my Pixel XL. However, I just noticed this article...
http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/1...pulling-latest-otas-promised-itll-fixed-2018/
Apparently, the "Check for Update" button functionality was broken recently via an update to Google Play Services. That bug won't be corrected until early in 2018. So - it appears the best way to get the 8.1 update (if you don't want to wait until next year), would be to sideload the OTA or flash factory images - depending on your preference and bootloader status...
Good luck.

Do people still capture the incremental OTA update filename from logcat, and post for people to sideload, or since Google publishes the full OTA's, do people just sideload that? Wondering if there's really a difference? Thanks!
Got it to update! I read on another forum to put it in airplane mode, clear the cache then the data in Google services framework, and then turn airplane mode off.... almost immediately after turning airplane mode off, I got the notification for the latest update!

Thank you. Mine didn't show up after clearing cache and data. I rebooted and there is was.
My question is that the sideload file on Google's download page is approximately 960 MB while the OTA notification I just received is about 567MB. Are they the same?
Thanks

Obviously they're not the same. It seems Google only needed to update your particular rom the 567 MB. Were you on the beta?

Google Play system update problem

My Google Play system update was stuck on 1 July for several months now. And today I notice it turns red with no more updates available. Anyone have the same problem nor know how to fix it?
I'm on latest stock ROM with locked BL.
Same here, is there an update??
That is apparently the current version?
Same on my phone, but I could update it manually to Sept 1. now.
Weird that it was not done automatically.

Oh, mine had the update today. 6.3k, can't have been much in it.
I don't think it was automatic in the past either. But I have is updates set to manual so maybe that's why?

Same story on my other phone Samsung A30s. So I guess it's not A2 lite specific.

This was a problem for me as well. My moto g 5g was stuck on that of 1 August 2020. I searched all over the internet but couldn't find anything that would work. I even did a factory reset but that too didn't work and the it was still showing that no updates were available. But yesterday while I was using the "Multiple User" option available under the "System" in settings (not as guest but new user) and tried checking Google Play system update and surprisingly there was an update available. I changed from new user to the original user (admin) and found that still there was no update available there. So I checked back to the new user and updated the phone. Why Google treated the new user differently is something that I want to know?

Question T-Mo Forced Update to A12, any way to block?

Been asking T-Mobile and OnePlus on how to block this update as it breaks creation of a work profile and I can no longer us my phone for work. I've downgraded to A11 using MSM but then as soon as I connect to WiFi, the device starts downloading the A12 update. Pausing it says it will update after midnight.
I've forbidden data usage to Android Setup (there is no system update app that I've been able to find in any of the apps even after "show system" is checked) and disabled those apps. I've disabled "allow automatic updates when rebooting". Going into System update there is no gear to stop the update. I've turned data off to anything I can find, i've also done this in safe mode. I can't not be able to use this phone for work and it's basically brand new.
If it's rooted it won't work for Work Profile either. Microsoft documentation states that OnePlus, Oppo, Realme, and Nokia phones do not work with Android 12 and work profiles and that they should not be upgraded yet, so I assume there's a way to stop this upgrade.
Anyone have any luck?
Install NetGuard, go to settings > advanced options > enable system apps.
In NetGuard, search for updater and turn off network for it, then turn NetGuard on and leave the VPN on while you use the phone.
Thanks! When I searched for updater on my phone, under system apps, only Mobile Installer and ConfigUpdater showed up. Searching for update, it's built-in app updates and Dynamic System Updates, both of which I believe are not the right ones to block. I did try blocking all four and the update still applied (I set my time to midnight and left it plugged in)
Any suggestions? I feel like T-Mobile makes this too difficult
For what its worth, I used an app called Island to create a work profile on my device while it still had A11. My phone upgraded to A12 and the work profile and all of its associated apps were still there. I haven't noticed any problems with the apps or accounts on that work profile, either (although A12 is a dumpster fire).
My phone is currently a bone stock LE2127 from T-Mobile.

You could use shelter on android 12, it works fine. If you still need to block updates, use PCAPdroid, turn on its VPN, then attempt an update. You should get the update server and you could block it via DNS.
Ok, so I've tried a couple of the above. unfortunately I need to run company portal for it to create the work profile so when I went to use shelter it didn't take as running Company Portal immediately killed it. We use Intune and compliance and all that fun stuff.
I also went and checked PCAPdroid, and I couldn't tell where the update server was, so I went and I blocked network traffic from everything with NetGuard, and slowly removed things to see what app was doing the downloading. The only thing that stopped the update from downloading was blocking Google Play Services.
I have a couple PCAP files but I'm not sure if they are even capturing the download of the update file.

I suppose I could live life for a few months turning on and off google play services connectivity when I need to install stuff. I just can't believe that T-Mobile knowingly forces this on you.
I don't remember where I found it, I think it may have been some random 8 Pro subforum.
They said to use this command.
I'm crossing my fingers.
Code:
adb shell pm disable-user com.oneplus.opbackup
Unfortunately tried that as well, doesn't exist on the OP9 Pro T-Mo edition. It's almost as if they castrated this version lol.
I appreciate the help though!
Exception occurred while executing 'disable-user':
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unknown package: com.oneplus.opbackup

Hi,
It seems like gateway.oneplus.net is the update server, you can try to block that only.

I'm cautiously optimistic right now. Blocked that through no root firewall, tried to download the update and it wouldn't go through. Currently have the phone set to 12 am and sitting on it's own to see if it'll actually auto update over the day. If it doesn't, woo hoo! Thank you so much! If it does, sad face.
You're welcome!
If it doesn't work, let me know and I'll be more than happy to assist you.
Argh! I was wrong, I accidentally had everything blocked and not just gateway.oneplus.net. PCAPDroid isn't picking up any different dns servers or IP addresses when I run it other than what I've posted. I ended up finding a way to block the download when the screen is off (apparently app "Root" in NetGuard stops it from downloading) and I think I should be ok until T-Mo releases a better update with OnePlus that works.
Thanks for the help, hopefully it doesn't and up somehow finding it's away around my network block!

Is this working for you? Do you still get the notifications about an update being available?
The fix I posted above has worked to prevent notifications & updates on global but I want to go back to T-mobile ROM now due to some odd network behavior.
Oh geez, I just MSM'd back to TMO and I see that TMO is now forcing the first update to be to 12 instead of a newer version of 11.
Global will let you step up to the most recent version of 11 before forcing you to 12.
But TMO just skips right to 12 without giving you a newer 11 first.
Anyone know how to install the most updated version of TMO 11?

In order to get the latest OOS 11 version, first you need to MSM. Then, you need to update, make sure it's around ~460 MB or so, it will look like it's an update to OOS 12 but it's not. Then you should end up on 11.2.9.9 and then you need to block the update that's around 4000 MB and you should be good to go.

I MSM'd and the current version was 11.2.6.6.le5acb.
Then, I went to the update tab and it says the update available is for le2127_11_c-16, which is the 12 version.
I don't remember the size on it though and I've already moved on to a custom ROM to test something.
Are you saying this was telling me it would be 12 but would have actually done an 11 update?
Yes, at least in my experience.
I was skeptical at first but then thought to myself there was no way an Android 12 upgrade was ~400 MB. Also, given the fact that I tested on global and it forced an upgrade to the latest Android 11 version BEFORE doing an Android 12 upgrade, I figured it wouldn't really have upgraded to Android 12.

That file doesn't exist on T-Mobile from what I've seen. I am just living with the pop up every once in a while.
I found a downgrade thread for T-Mobile to Android 11. I used it and it worked for me. it also fixed my serial number that was missing the leading 0. search for the OnePlus 9 Pro downgrade using the MSM Tool!

Yeah that's what I used but then it kept upgrading on its own. Had to do it a couple times then block network connectivity to specific addresses.
