I have a ATT branded Moto Z2 with a Cricket SIM. I got the phone in late november, and it came with Android 7.1.1 with the June 1 SPL. I know that ATT has released several updates, the latest in December with the November 1st SPL,
but everytime I check for updates it says that my phone is up-to-date.
So far I tried to check for updates after a factory reset, and also tried to do an OTA update with an old ATT SIM in it. Nothing seems to be working.
I have posted on the lenovo support page but so far I have not got any answer. I am not the guy that has to have the latest software running, but the updates fixed the BlueBorne security hole...
Othat than using a Cricket SIM, the phone is stock, not rooted.
has anybody encountered the same problem? Thank you
So I have two Tmobile versions of this phone. one rooted/unlocked, one not. I am also having a problem with receiving OTA. Mine stock device is on an August Security patch and there have been two released patches since then. I just got off the phone with both motorola and tmobile and they are both useless. I explained over and over that i wasn't calling about the oreo release, that i was calling about ANY updates and they couldn't get that through their head. Further, tmobile states they haven't released an 8.0 ota which we all know is false since several people on this forum have received it.... very frustrating. I may have to unlock my stock device if I ever want an actual update.

At least the T-Mobile versions can be rooted. As far as I know, the ATT cannot as of yet.
theres only been one update since august and thats a fixed august. the other being the oreo update thats available now
if you would like to update your phone we have the ota updates and can get you updated without unlocking your bootloader just let me know [email protected] on hangouts

What OTA for Tmobile? Mine has NCX26. 7 as stated in Tmobile support site, I do know that OCX oreo release is suppose to be live but support site doesn't show it andy phone hasn't gotten it.
Found a way to get it to download updates.
So, after wasting my time with Motorola and ATT so-called "technical support", I decided to try something: I rebooted the phone in recovery mode (VOlume down + Power button) and put it in recovery mode. Rebooted from recovery mode, and bingo, it downloaded the next update (September SPL). It now shows "background installation..." in progress. Hopefully this is going to be the solution.
I did the update manually using the file nash_opx 27.109-34_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC. Xml. zip and it worked perfectly.

I think I may have found the right recipe. The trick is to check for updates while NOT on WiFi. So move away from WiFi coverage, but still within Cell coverage, with Data on. Check for updates. It will say that an update is available and will be download when within WiFi range. Move back to where you have WiFi, and bingo, it will start downloading. I did it twice yesterday afternoon, once to go from the Sept to the Oct SPL, and then from the Oct SPL to the Nov SPL, which is the last available update according to the ATT page. All of this with my Cricket SIM. WHy this works is beyond my pay grade to figure out. I will eagerly wait for the next update to be posted to see if this trick works consistently. Again,
this seems to work with my ATT branded phone.
My ATT Z2 force, starting from last evening (1/24/2018), kept getting security update, from September, 2017. Then this morning, October 2017 and November 2017. Does this mean we are going to get Oreo update soon ?
So I've had my Moto zforce 2 for 3 days now. We're is the Oreo update ? T-Mobiles site says it was released Dec 22nd ?

Dude..Let us know when u get Oreo update....So am I
Anyone on TMobile receive the ota update ?
There are issues with calling and sms on the T-Mobile variant. The update has been pulled while they sort out the issues.
Well that makes sense why I'm not seeing it then.
I am still not able to get the AT&T update past June. I tried the reboot into recovery and nothing. Is there a way to manually install the update from an SD card which would allow for OTA updates in the future?

Good. On my account we got 2 of them for Christmas. A few days after Christmas, one of them updated to Oreo. At this point, the Galaxy S7 Edge on our account could not hear the Z2 Force. Went through everything with T-Mobile support including network settings reset, factory resetting both the Samsung and Motorola phones. Didn't fix it. Meanwhile, the Z2 Force that was still on Nougat was fine. A few days later, it also updated to Oreo, and now neither Z2 Force can be heard on the Samsung. I hope they get this mess cleaned up soon since it's been a month.
It seems to be only between those two phones. Until the next update/patch is released, the workaround is to disable VoLTE in call settings on the z2.
Got AT&T update to 8.0.0 this morning.
I received notice of the Tmobile Oreo update, downloaded it, but cannot install it. It only says something went wrong and didn't install the update. I have the bootloader unlocked and Magisk installed. I followed the instructions for Magisk dual partition updates. I uninstalled Magisk using Restore Images and did not reboot. I went to System Updates and downloaded the update again. It never went to Security Update Installing, step 1. I am on Magisk v 16.0 which passes the SafetyNet check, ctsProfile: true and basicIntegity: true. At this point, should I completely uninstall Magisk, flash the OreoFlashAll.zip or the NASH_TMO_C_OCX27.109-36_subsidy-TMO-regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip? Or something different?

Let us know if you lose the animated home button as I did after the At&t update. I asked the question in the room and no one answered. Hopefully I didn't break any rules by asking here. Thank you.

Guys, I'm reading mixed articles and opinions online and I'm returning to Android after a long time with iOS. The only incentive for me here would OTA updates the day of release. I'm thinking of getting the phone from Verizon and wondering if their updates arrive the same day as Google releasing them, or is there a delay?
Kind regards
Prasad
You will always have a little delay before yout get the OTA, because they are released by stages. I always download the OTA image from google and sideload it via stock recovery. Its the fastest way and you don't need an open bootloader or something.
hells
The way I get the OTA updates, is, I pop out my Sim, clear data from Google play store and Google play services, and then reboot. When I check for an update it will say up to date, but when I put my SIM back in and check again about 30 seconds later the update is already installing.
Only downfall to this method is you have to set up android pay again.
Otherwise you can download the OTA from googles website but it's a pain to do, and it's a big download.
The check for updates issue has been fixed in Google Play Services v12.2.09 or later which is still in beta but I believe a stable version will be released in March. I checked within 1 hour after the March security update was released and had the update available for download. I am running the beta GPS currently.
There is no delay. The pixel series receives their updates directly from Google and can update the day google releases.
Hi all,
I am one of the 7X owners who bought a phone with B101 firmware. Since I have not received any updates yet, I used the FirmwareFinder and succesfully upgraded to B102. The FirmwareFinder also offers the following updates:
BND-L21C432B102 to BND-L21C432B121 not approved for installation
BND-L21C432B121 to BND-L21C432B123 approved for installation
BND-L21C432B123 to BND-L21C432B124 approved for installation
Can I directly update from B102 to B124 or I should follow the sequence? Thanks!
Yeah, just checked, same here. Does anybody know if this is possible?
I am not expert, but from what I have seen. The updates are sequential. Unless the update file says full. It will only be patches.
If it does say full ota then you supposedly can jump from anywhere to that update
Another disappointment
I have the firmware BND-L21C432B102 too. I tried to install the next update which was approved for installation. This is BND-L21C432B130
It´s not possible to install the update.
I asked the honor support for updates. the said, that the next update for my phone is L21C432B124CUSTC432D002
The update will arrive in the next 90 days.
About a month ago I flashed the leaked beta version of Android pie to my Verizon Galaxy S8+. Now that the official version is rolling out, can I just simply check for an update on my phone or do I need to flash back to Verizon firmware? Thanks in advance.
If you're still on the leaked beta pie version, then checking for updates won't work. You gotta flash an earlier firmware that's bootloader 5, either CSB1 or CSA4. You can get it from sammobile. I think you also have to factory reset your device after downgrading or it will be stuck in a bootloop, then check for updates manually from your device and update to official pie.

I have a S8+ and just got the Official Verizon system update 24 to Android Pie
Today 4/6/2019
I updated my Google Edition Pixel 3XL to 10 two nights ago. Now today, I received a notification that an update failed to install.
I am thrown off because I turned off updates, but regardless of that, if I just updated to 10 two nights ago, what is with this update wanting to install in my device?
I am on vzw OG unlimited data plan, the build # of my currently installed Android version 10 is: QP1A.190711.020.C3. Anyone can enlighten me on this?
Thanks in advance
You're on andriod 10. But you're on the sept, 2019 update. So your phone is probably trying to update to a more current version.

If your bootloader is unlockable, look at this Guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/how-to/guide-pixel-3-xl-android-10-0-q-t3964117
Prerequisites: Factory Images
Then do #4 'keep data' to install the latest Factory image. Do #9 to root.
Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it
I have since updated my device again. I used the "OTA" method to do the update. All-in-all it took about 15 minutes or so. Now the security patch level is: October 5, 2019. I suspect that it will tell me sooner or later that there is an even newer update. Hmmm...
I'm still waiting in the even newer updates to come down to my device. I do like the fact though that I can install an ota with magisk and don't have to connect to a computer.
I just wish I could speed up the updates using that method too. I was thinking that it would install the latest/greatest the first time out of the gate. Lol
