[HOWTO] Update China version of Moto X Force XT1581 64gb dual sim to Marshmellow 6.0

DISCLAMER: i'm not responsible of damage you can apport to your phone following this guide
First of all you need a UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER then of course motorola driver for your pc and fastboot/mfastboot.
The Hardware of Chinese Moto X Force XT1581 is the same of Mexican one, 64Gb dual sim so I flashed MX ROM 6.0 with Chinese firmware file
I used a script to flash, paste it in a notepad and then save as script.bat in the same folder cointein firmware files and fastboot/mfastboot:

POWER OFF YOUR DEVICE then press power+vol down for about 2 seconds so you are in recovery mode, launch script.bat, wait you phone should automatically reboot in a couple of minutes.
Often flashing modem fail the first time so the script repit the operation...
if you want a "ready and working ROM" go here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8xKzkQTdRcVWGQ0dVFnZV9vNTg/view
it's the modified MX rom with Chinese modem
source: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=752644&st=680
Have fun!

Hi, i think your link points to the wrong rom. The Mexican rom should be a XT1580 file...

help

What's the purpose of all of this?
- Flashing modem partition
than:
clearing modem parition 1
clearing modem parition 2
Flashing modem (again)
Flashing modem (again, and again)
Flashing modem (again, again and again)

check the bootloader log, first time modem flash fails. So all is necessary except the last line, which is included just to be sure. You are free to remove as you wish!

just to inform, i've tried to flash my chinese XT1581 with "XT1580_KINZIE_RETLA_DS_6.0" firmware just keeping the "fsg.mbn" file from this topic, and it works fine wifi and 4g signals are ok.... maybe that will work for another firmwares

yes, i've tested on my XT1581 and its working since yesterday with no problems... i'm sorry but i can't post links on XDA because i'm new user
but you can do like me and download any XT1580 dual sim firmware from "firmware.center" website then extract and replace the "fsg.mbn" file of original firmware with "fsg.mbn" found in the firmware of first post of this topic
flash the original firmware with replaced "fsg.mbn" file, and it will work

Thank you for your awesome work!
It is working fine for me! My china Kinzie XT1581 arrived yesterday and i've followed your tutorial. Modem failed to install at first attempt like you said but it installed just fine at the 2nd one! tested almost everything and its perfect! all SIM cards from Brazil that i have are working fine.

Queiroz

Hi from Germany,
today I get my XT1581 from China it works well, but with android version 5.1.1....and it gets no updates
I understand I can update it with aDual Sim FW (may from Mexico). Should I unlook the bootloader first?
Will then work the App "Moto" with any language ?
Thanks

Dude, YES first of all you have to unlock BL!!
# PC: install MOTO drivers & minimal ADB & mfastboot
# unlock BL
# remove 'unlocked BL warning'
# flash firmware as told in OP (1st page)
# be happy
if you want Root/Xposed..too, flash TWRP for kinzie and SU 2.62-3
search for tut's on XDA - read carefully!!!
App "Moto" will work with GER language.
may the force with you!

Good Morning,
thanks very much. I will try. I hope it will work. Will then work updates via OTA too?
Best regards

Hello one more question,
if I flashed my China Xt1581 with the Mexiacan Stock Rom, is it then possible to lock the bootloader and get updates via OTA?
Thanks

Unlocked Moto Z2 Play on Verizon?

Does anyone have the unlocked variant on Verizon? I'd love to know if WiFi calling works like the Verizon variant.
Thanks so much.

I do. No issues. Popped in sim from Moto X Pure Edition and set it up.
I have not used wifi calling.
I don't even know how to use wifi calling.
What are the advantages of wifi calling?

WiFi Calling Only on Verizon Variants
I have the 64 GB Unlocked Z2 Play on Verizon and no, there is no WiFi calling.
That option can only be enabled via settings options that are specific to Verizon's software. It is the one feature I really miss.

I have the unlock 1710-01. Put Verizon software on it and enabled wifi calling. Can't get video calling to work though.

Yes. Verizon firmware. You can't update it through the phone with a unlocked bootloader. Use Verizon's software upgrade assistance to update. It'll say it failed but it doesn't.

Just curious, did you go to MY Verizon, Log in, My devices, My Plan and Services, Manage Products & Apps, Free Products and see if your line is compatible, if so click the Git It Now button. See attached
Then, on your phone go to settings, Network & Internet, Advanced Calling and enable it there.
BTW, HD Voice vonly works (is noticeable) when you're calling another VZW phone with HD Voice (using the HD Codec).

Complete firmware using fast boot. After that, you can use the software upgrade assistant.

Yes. HD voice is activated. Just can't use the video calling with Verizon built in dialer. Have to use google duo.

Do you mean "Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant for Motorola"? I can't get past not having the "Software Installation mode" for the USB connection. Does my XT1710-01 (Android 8.0.0) need to be unlocked/rooted for this to work? Whatever it takes, I would really like to get this working.

Yes you will need a unlocked boot loader. You first have to install the firmware via fastboot. Then Verizon software can be used.

Have a try, taking care about modem (it seems dosn't work if you don't preserve the original one).

Hello. I own the Moto Z2 Play Mod: XT1710-08 with the ZUI. I would like to take it the stock ROM, but I don't know which model can be fine with my device.

Hi, Do u have a link?

Also if you're just concerned with the launcher (it's terrible!) you can just install another launcher from the play store.

I am not an expert in this area, but just wanted to share a method that worked for me to convert ROM of XT1710-08 China variant phone (with Android 7.1.1 ZUI interface) to Oreo 8.0.0 US retail version
Basically I followed the instructions from below thread with some changes.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/how-to/how-to-manually-update-moto-z2p-to-t3677357
I had already unlocked bootloader and not sure if that was really needed for this. (Make sure you have USB drivers and latest adb/fastboot utilities and verify fastboot is working with the phone)
1. Using fastboot, flashed the 8.0.0 Chinese ROM from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/albus_retcn/official/RETCN/
Please note, system.img and oem.img may be split into multiple files, so update the .bat file accordingly.
2. next, flashed the US retail version from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/albus/official/RETAIL/
Here I skipped the modem related images (NON-HLOS.bin ,fsg.mbn , dsp adspso.bin , and did not erase modemst1 and modemst2) - see below commands from the bat file.

Baseband not found z2 force sprint xt1789-03

Sorry I'm not good at English
I have the z2 force xt1789-03, I flashed the wrong version of fw android 9 so I lost the baseband when I was in the android rom 8. I tried to flash the latest version but I could not get back the baseband. Please show me how to get it back to the beginning!

If you have flashed a Pie ROM to your device you will not be able to go back to Oreo and have a working device. Did you try to flash an official version of Pie that was released by your carrier or did you flash a version that you found on the forums somewhere?

Getting baseband back and making wifi and sims work
I had the same issue and got stuck hopelessly but after a few hit and tries, I finally made my wifi and cellular network work on my sprint smartphone (baseband was gone).
what you need to do step by step is:
1. download pie variant of Verizon carrier from mirrors dot lolinet dot com/firmware/moto/nash/official/VZW/ (replace dot with . )
2. download latest pie variant of Retail variant of z2 force from mirrors dot lolinet dot com/firmware/moto/nash/official/RETAIL/
3. copy NON-HLOS.bin from verizon variant and copy it to retail variant of pie firmware
4. download any flashall file and rewrite it (open with notepad and edit, it is as simple as that) or run commmands in following order in retail firmware folder:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
5. run flashall and let it boot.
6. enjoy
NOTE: reversion of baseband is not possible and maybe custom roms will work no more but you will get to make your device work.

Hi, excuse my English, I'm using a translator.
I have a problem, update my Sprint z2 force with a RETAIL firmware and all right just a couple of problems, the sim does not detect, I do not know if I lost the unlock-sim, because the wifi works perfectly, Will they know what it could be?
I did the above and it didn't work, it still doesn't detect the sim, should I flash the file of a Mexican company? I'm from México

Are there anyone has successful with this method ?

Hi,
confirmed working on my xt1789-03, with the following considerations:
-> Wifi and bluetooth now working
-> Sim card seems to be detected, but no radio or signal.
-> IMEI remains 0
-> When boot a message appears: "Verity Mode is set to disabled"
So, little step to success. From now, I have a little tablet with wifi.
Many thanks to Muar_96

Odd issue with sim cards

*Update: I finally was able to get a hold of someone at sprint who actually took the time to take care of me. My phone was indeed unlocked, but she submitted the unlock request again. After restarting my phone on, wifi with a sprint sim, it unlocked!!!! Finally! Btw sprint doesn't like you walking into stores without a mask on and they'll give you the corporate # immediately to get you out of the store. 877-365-6413 Hope this helps someone since it took me 6 sprint community chats, 3 phone calls and a store visit to handle.
About 2 years ago I bought 2 Boost Moto G plays for $49. We activated them on Sprint and used them for a year. Sprint Sim unlocked both phones after 6 months and I have confirmed it twice. I gave my old moto g6 play to my mother in law with Verizon. Popped the sim card in and it worked no problem. My wife continued to use her moto g6 play but wanted Android 9, so I unlocked the bootloader, downgraded and then flashed the stock sprint update from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g6-play/development/ota-moto-g6-play-aljeter-t3921877
Phone worked fine and wife used it for 6 more months until we upgraded to g7 powers.
The issue I am having is that the only sim card this phone will read is the sprint one. Tmobile=Nothing. Verizon=No. At&t=No.
I know for a fact that the other phone works on Verizon, so this one should too. I tried flashing RetUS on this phone (which actually worked for my metro g7 power to work on Verizon) and still no luck. I figure something is messed up, or not flashed properly to see the other sim cards.
Anyone have a clue? Thanks in advance!
This is how i flashed it:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
I skipped boot.img on purpose, gpt.bin, adspso.bin, logo.bin

Thank you for reaching out!!! Tried it with no luck. When flashing the modem file it says: not found? Not sure if that's a normal error or not.
Also the phone simply says, sim status: unavailable. So it knows it's in the phone but doesn't know what to do with it.
I think you're on the right track though! It's something simple that didn't flash properly at some point.
