Upgrade problems

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.

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.

I guess they want all phones to be on same build when they push out Oreo and onwards.

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?

I know that a January security patch is due tho but it won't be 137-92/93

I don't think the january patch will be released alone, it will come along with oreo mid-feb

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.

I got November update with over 1GB. However, still I'm on 8.1 oreo. Any idea why no Pie update yet?
Attached image for version info.

Thank you. But I'm scared of losing LTE by updating via different region VPN as I have seen some posts about it. I.e, Poland / Indonesia region.

Lte works for me, but I rather prefer to wait for the official release It's just a matter of days

With Pie waiting to roll out for everybody perhaps there is no Dec security update?

NO it will be rolled out integrated in the update for who didn't use vpn method, and will reach who used vpn as an update to pie but with less volume like 200Mb compared to about 1.1 Gb for the official rollout

Nonetheless it is very disappointing - I got this phone to get timely updates! I don't care about Pie that much, but the December update has been rolled out two weeks ago and we still don't have it!

Where is this December update?!

I mean, if it comes with bug-less Pie might worth the wait... But let's be realistic :cyclops:

New December update for Pie on the Mi A2 Lite! Check your devices if your on the Pie Beta and you should see a new update available.

No update for me in germany (updated manually to pie).

That's no update, it's just the "open beta" Xiaomi released a few weeks ago and some members got via a VPN connection.

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.

General July update

In the process of installing a 1.25Mb update for 6 Pro. After update finished I'm still on the July security patch. Anyone have any ideas?

That's what it is supposed to be. They released 2 additional builds based on July, I believe. The last one fixes a GPS problem. August builds should be coming "in the coming weeks" according to Google.
