does not require unlocked bootloader is original

I think they rolled out all the OTAs for GB at the same time, I got mine earlier today but didn't notice.
PS: Its my birthday, thank you Motorola!

Just got notified of the pending update on my retGB model, can't do the update just at the moment but fingers crossed it fixes the notification problem some people (and me) have with the phone.

Does any one have the stock 21.11.23 RETGB kitkat recovery to share please? :crying:

Yea, i'll stick with a custom ROM instead of this oficial update (that [email protected]!)
They are so late that i'm sure SaberMod, BlissPop, etc are better optimized.

Has anyone confirmed this to work on the XT1039? I assume it wouldn't be possible due to different LTE bands?
EDIT: Comparing the bands, it seems like there's little to no difference between the XT1040 and the XT1039, I assume like the Falcon, we wouldn't be able to restore to an older firmware via fastboot if we flashed this

Congrats motorola, it's been just 6 damn months.

Hello , i make all steps , but when i flash ota 5.1 with custom recovery i get error , and installation aborted
help please

Hello,
I took a captured OTA of a 5.1 Lollipop ROM and when I launch the update process, I also get an error, it says that the fingerprint is not the version expected. But I have the KXB21.14-L1.56 as mentioned in the error message.
But I have an other question, why flash the 4.4.3 instead of directly the 4.4.4 version of the ROM ?
Thank you.

Hello again,
Yesterday I could update my XT1039 to Lollipop 5.1 via OTA on a fresh install of a 4.4.4 KitKat version. I just had to go in Google Play and to update the Motorola update service.
After the update, I could see that the build number of the update was LPB23.13-17 and the System Version is 23.21.17, different from the 21.11.56 of the captured OTA given here, which gave me the error.
I hope this helps.
Cheers!

Ok

Which KitKat have you installed? I tried doing the same (using Br retail) but didn't worked, it says there is not update.

Republic Wireless (XT1049) will completely roll out Lollipop on December 14th - 16th

As posted here: https://community.republicwireless.com/blogs/republic/2015/11/23/device-mr-progress-update-112315, it appears that RW is going to be rolling out Lollipop this week, starting Monday and finishing Wednesday.
I plan on using Sunshine before the update, as TowelPieRoot likely won't be compatible. At the very least, unlocking the bootloader will allow downgrading back to KitKat if Lollipop has some serious issues.

Sadly, the update as of December 8th says the update's been delayed AGAIN-- the soak test starts January 11th, the general roll out begins January 18th.
https://community.republicwireless.com/blogs/republic/2015/12/08/device-mr-progress-report-120815

Has anybody been able to capture the RW 5.1 OTA?
I did something stupid with my phone after updating to 5.1, then had to downgrade to 4.4.4 (I have an unlocked boot loader), but parts of it will not downgrade.
Now the motorola update thinks I am already on 5.1 and will not download the 5.1 OTA again.

It's the exact same file as the final release.

OTA update zip
Does anyone else have the OTA update zip? Maybe final release? I know you said it's the same file, but maybe it's slightly different? Because it won't work for me. BUT I was able to just take and install the EMR update. So I don't know why Motorola update won't give me 5.1 too? Is it something with the phone reporting Sprint keys instead of Republic Wireless keys, like mentioned in the Reddit post? Or they think I have it already? I just get an "aborted" message. I have no system mods and I went back to stock recovery. It worked for the EMR update, so I can't figure out the problem. Any ideas? If hoping to not have to factory reset or install 5.1 from scratch (if it's available). Thanks!

Like I said, the soak test OTA is the *exact* same file as the final update. They wouldn't make changes to the build that got soaked or they'd have to redo the entire certification process again. That said, your issue is probably the Sprint keys issue. I know you don't want to do a factory reset, but you'll probably need to flash the RW 5.1 .sbf factory image to get yourself on the new update with everything sorted out.
The sbf file is here: http://www.filefactory.com/file/27kl2ef9ngk7/XT1049_GHOST_REPW_5.1_LPA23.12-39-R-15_cid6_CFC.xml.zip

Still stuck on Android 6.01 with no OTA update

Had my A2017G for a few months, but still stuck on v1.0.0b06 with no available OTA updates.
Will I manually have to flash it to a android 7 version then will I be able to receive OTA?
Any guidance is much appreciated.

It really depends on where your device is from. That build may very well be the most up-to-date build released. Check the ZTE support site to be sure.
If you want to go to nougat right away, I'd suggest manually installing the German update zip / installing the leaked 7.1.1 B01 zip floating around. Afterwards, you'll receive the OTA prompt for the 7.1.1 B02 build.

Yes, you need to download nougat image from ztedevices then push it to SD card and update to nougat will be available via system updater.

So I won't need a build 10 to do the update to nougat?

I forgot if it's required. But no harm in doing the updates incrementally. The German support page has the B10 update, as well as the 7.0 update. Then the 7.1.1 B01 leak can be found around here. These of course are all for the A2017G variant.
If you intend to unlock your bootloader, I'd suggest doing so before upgrading to nougat.

Also in hoping in the future OTA works normally. Apart from this, the phone is solid all-around.

This is the full ota for V1.2.0B01: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767151720
I'd suggest you manually update to V1.0.0B10 and then to V1.2.0B01.
You can find t he V1.0.0B10 on the ztemobile.de page: http://www.ztemobile.de/support/downloads/?product_id=2100 (Software Update B10)
I'd skip going to Nougat 7.0 first. Just upgrade directly to 7.1.1 with the full ota I posted.
Copy both of the files onto your sd card. They will then appear in the Updater (Settings -> Updates). Just run the upgrade from there.
Be aware! As previously stated by @oleung4 unlock your bootloader before upgrading. I unlocked mine on B06.

It gets more complicated starting with (afaik) V1.0.0B11. If you want the easy way I'd suggest you do it before you upgrade past B10, I would even say do it before upgrading from B06.

I unlocked mine without too much problem from B08 using the windows 1.1.1 toolkit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/tool-axon7toolkit-t3573108
I did get into a lot of trouble when I relocked it, so just avoid that.
Good luck

I've put the German image file on a USB and connected via an OTG cable, no joy......

First: Check that you didn't put the zip with the buncha numbers. If you open the zip you should find an update.zip and a pdf or something, and you have to use the update.zip inside. NOT directly the one with the numbers!
Second: Your phone probably won't find the file on the OTG, if so just copy the file from the OTG to the root of the internal storage

Ah....
I unzipped it.....

Okay so still no joy, neither of the files would update
"System Update Failed"
Attached screenshots if anyone can help ??

You almost brick the phone. Tell me a couple of things:
-What's the model? Turn it around and look below the Dolby Atmos symbol, it should be etched there. Either A2017 or G or U.
-I see that your software is of the A2017G. You probably have an A2017.
-What's the version that you downloaded? If it is for another version you can lose the IMEIs.

I have a similar issue. I have an A2017G. I had LOS on and am trying to go back to stock. I can get MM B10 or B11 to load, but N B01 won't flash within Android and if I force it from within recovery, the phone won't boot. anyone any smart ideas?

Oreo Soak Test 2 is Captured

Everyone is crazy about Oreo update!
Today Motorola released new soak test for Oreo with February security patches and I manage to capture it
Here's a GDrive Download Link https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uEIRV1sKq0RGQTQkSWDfgoz-IAqpUL3b
It includes new Moto launcher (Finally replaced Google now launcher), new icons for apps, notification dots, new clock widget, bug fixes, stability improvement and camera improvement
Here are full release notes https://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/solution/MS126755
Thank you

Because it may have bugs and also night light isn't enabled yet!

From the updater script, looks like you'll need OPN27.74/28 to flash this soak test OTA, and will bring your device up to OPN27.76-12-2/4
Code:
Package expects build thumbprint of 8.0.0/OPN27.76-12-2/4:user/release-keys or 8.0.0/OPN27.74/28:user/release-keys
Having a quick look through the updater script, looks like it'll check and update your boot (kernel), modem, OEM, system and GPT/bootloader partitions. I see references to Google Widevine in the modem images too. At least the error messages seem to be a little more helpful.
You can find the updater script at the following path: OreoSoak2.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\ or as an attachment.
As always, it's up to you if you want to flash these soak tests, bear in mind there may be bugs and unless you get the other soak test OTA updates, you may not be able to update back to the official OTA path. That is, unless you can find the stock Oreo fastboot ROM or try to downgrade. Or you could just wait for the official Oreo OTA to come out....

That's soak 3 buddy.

and the soak 2?

Possible to flash over SOAK 1 with bootloader locked?

No you need the second one as well. You must install them in order that is why it is never smart to install a soak test unless you are in the test

If you've got the December 2017 7.1.1 update on your device, completely stock, you may be able to install these soak tests. However, as xantanion has pointed out, there appears to be at least one soak test OTA missing. Thus, you may be able to flash the first soak test OTA, then you may not be able to flash the soak test in this thread as you're not on the expected build for this OTA (i.e. you may be missing the inter-linking builds as again pointed out by xantanion). OTA updates check the build you have on your device before flashing, as I mentioned in the above post - this OTA requires OPN27.76-12-2 or OPN27.74 - if you don't have either, you may not be able to flash this OTA.
Without access to those possibly missing builds, you'd be stuck on an OTA build, and unless you find the Oreo fastboot stock ROM (which isn't out yet) or downgrading back to 7.1.1 (possibly risky, requires an unlocked bootloader), you likely won't be able to progress (no OTA updates) or not be able to flash the non-soak OTA builds. You'll only get these soak test OTA builds if you're part of the soak test program or someone can leak them.
You do not have to flash these soak test builds, you can always wait for the official OTA to arrive, unless you're willing to put up with the possible bugs in the firmware and the possibility that your device may not receive OTA updates.
EDIT - looks like some users may be having some luck with this OTA build?

They're still going to have issues when it comes to updating to the full one even with being able to install it now via sideloading

Only two soak test are released over December security patch in India and they both are captured and shared on forum's

So when can we expect the actual update?

I imagine it really is Motorola's decision, whenever they're happy with the build from internal testing and from the soak tester reports, and whether there are any major/show-stopping bugs still present or introduced. Minor bugs, depending on if they've been reported, may be fixed prior to the final OTA, or scheduled to be fixed in the post Oreo release if they're more troublesome to fix or troubleshoot. The soak test OTA may become the final OTA that's released to the general update channel, or there may be further OTA patches, which of course will push back the release date. The last thing you want is to introduce the Oreo update and then pull it, as happened with the Samsung Galaxy S8 devices.
So, it's anyone's guess when the release date will be, and why OEMs likely don't give hard deadlines, despite what the PR news release that's been on Ausdroid and other platforms suggests. At least you're getting a soak test - Moto G4 Plus/G5/G5S devices haven't seen one yet!

Please share the new apps.. dialer, camera, contacts

I agree, you guys should ve happy for getting soal tests.. i have both G5+ and G5s+ and no soak tests.. we'll get oreo in may..
