Motorola invitation to test a new upgrade

I just received an email invitation from Motorola. I'm not sure if it's for 4.2 or not. I am hesitant as I do not want to relock the bootloader.
Edit... Sounds like it's impossible to relock the bootloader.

They can't re lock it.

So that means that I couldn't participate even if I wanted to? I know I could restore the phone to stock thus restoring the recovery to stock.

I just got the same invite for the soak... I joined it to see what's up.. Told them it was rooted and I will restore to stock .. No clue what the update is .. Sort of came out of the blue no?

I have heard that it is possible to relock it, but it would also lock the developer edition devices so it "shouldn't" be an issue.

It's just a maintenance release no software update. The boot loader can't be relocked because once u unlock it it blows the bootloader QFuse. Once that is blown it can't be reset by software.

You won't find anything on Google except droidlife posting about moto sending out invites. It's a private network of people that sign up for soak test for motorola software before it is sent ota to devices

Where and why you received this email? I'm from Brazil, would be here too? Just a question ...

I was answering questions on the survey to participate and they said it was such a minimal update and to just avoid the hassle of un rooting.

I registered my phone on the moto site and indicated I would like to beta test new software.

Very interested to see what this update is going to bring, would like to see them fix the stability and performance issues in the stock rom.

What stability and performance issues of the stock rom?

You don't have to relock the bootloader, just reverting to stock is fine. Also, on consumer devices unlocked via hack, the exploit might get fixed in the update AND you don't know the unlock code and will have to be rooted to wipe the relock token. So don't relock there (besides it's not as simple to do so anyway, FXZ must be flashed in between )

Wouldn't it be amazing if it was 4.3 like what was just leaked for the s4? A man can dream. I got the invite, but I'm sad to say I don't feel it's with the effort coming from where I am now. Stable carbon, tweaked just how I like it, or work to revert to an older android version with all the associated limits. If it was 4.3 I'd be doing it, but 4.2? I'm really sorry moto, but I've been there for a while now

Performance and stability issues on the stock ROM? Several Google Apps (magazines and books) even if never used cause the phone to become near unresponsive. I disabled those two and have had no issues since. Every few days my phone no longer can send or receive text messages and when I reboot suddenly all of them go through. It has gotten to the point that I have a cron on a server to send me text messages so that I at least know every morning if I have the issue again.
Also, Smart Actions gets into a loop where I keep seeing it claim that my WiFi based action is being triggered every few minutes even when I am sitting still. This seems to drain the hell out of my battery.

Damn.. Forgot to update my moto profile after getting my HD. Missed out in the soak.
-- Android: It's a UNIX thing. You wouldn't understand.

Does anyone else not have the official 4.4 update?

Since the release of 4.4 for the Nexus 7 I've been constantly hitting the update button on my beloved tablet and I have yet to see the coveted update. Is there anyone else that shares this same fate? Am I being impatient?
I know I could root and I've thought about it, actually but I really wanted to see how long I could refrain from crack-flashing every single thing I own. But I might not have a choice since I just read that the Moto X for Verizon is now getting the update.
The fact that any device from Verizon is getting an update before a Nexus is making me nervous that maybe something is amiss with my tablet...

Nothing for me yet.. just updated my MotoX an hour ago though. A Nexus 7 update today would be like having the most awesome Christmas ever...

No update for me as well (both N7 adn N4)

No update - UK WIFI Nexus 7 16GB

No update for my n7/13 or n4 (both stock unlocked) but I had sideloaded 4.4 to my rooted n7/12 and received the ota KRT16S last night. I flashed stock recovery and had super su (1.72B) set to protect root, all went well and I didn't loose root. Flashed back to twrp with flashify.

No update neither here - Nexus 7 WIFI IT 16 GB

If you like to stream flash videos (or stream NBA games, etc), watch out. Kit Kat breaks it because apparently they've updated the web engine which doesn't support flash at all.

No update for me either. Nexus 7 2012 32gb

Seriously, if you really can't wait, grab the OTA off Google's servers. There's no need to complain when you can have it right now.

Is it possible to do that even if my tablet isn't rooted?
If so please can you let me know how?
Thanks in advance

Well I, the OP, have officially gotten the update. I have to say though, that it took a lot longer than I expected for a Nexus device.

Simpsons Tapped Out

I'm running stock rooted and since day one with this phone, the Simpsons game has been choppy and crashes often. I've sent quiet a bit of reports once it crashes, but I was wondering if anyone else had this problem?

Mine is choppy (low frame rate) occasionally - it was more noticeable during the recent halloween event. Seems ok now since the thanksgiving update.
It does crash quite frequently though - maybe one out of every three or four sessions.

I play daily and it crashes at least once every time I play it. Used to have sgs4 I337 running gpe Roms and it wouldn't work at all. Warrantied a bad headset speaker and here I am. The new sgs4 AT&T sent me had a locked boot loader and no root android 4.3. I didn't want a galaxy phone so sold it for 400 bought the nexus 5.
Level 37 now. Same as zulugod stated was laggy with Halloween update, better now.

In 37, it does have fps lag and crashes like six times before I can assign everyone to tasks

Ok glad it's not just me. I'm hoping in the next play store update, They'll fix it or something.

Every time it crashes I send the report. So I'm sure someone will eventually take a look and issue a small patch.

The Z2/Z3 received a new update to fix some bugs, we might get it too but I'm wondering why the normal Z1 has no new certification

Not sure. But maybe that is what they were waiting for before moving forward with the Z1s.

Maybe it's a carrier certification?
Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk

I'm impatiently waiting for the update as well. I just got the 2nd Lollipop update on my Z2 Tablet and I really like what Sony did.
I'm hoping that the Z1s will get some better performance when we do finally get the update.
Also, has anyone actually tried flashing a regular Z1 Lollipop firmware to the Z1s? I know with Kit Kat firmware the radio/Bluetooth/WiFi didn't work. Any chance that would've changed with the new firmware? I would love to run a stock Z1 firmware since T-mobile messed with a few things (removed Bluetooth tethering, for one).

I just hope we aren't waiting as long as we did last time. I am excited to see the new stuff. Have any of you had the interment touch screen issue with your Z1s? If so did you find a fix?

This is the third Z1S certification now - ultimately with KitKat it was the fourth that got pushed out. As for me, I continue to have the touch screen issue, and have yet to find a resolution for it.

I haven't noticed any touchscreen issues on my Z1s. I just have problems with memory management - It seems like every few times I go back to the home screen, it has to redraw the icons.

I guess we will see. For me I'm just curious how long it will take. Love my phone but pretty sure I will be getting another brand next time.

Mine works fine without the wipe.

I was just sharing my experience as I just got the phone the day before. I had the phone all set up it was working fine on Android 6.0.1. I upgraded to the beta for nougat Android 7.0 and immediately my phone kept rebooting every 30 seconds or little bit longer. Once I realized the data I have not had any issues at all.

I had massive restart loop every 30 seconds yesterday. Have been troubleshooting. Ultimately had to rewipe again, to get it to work.
Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

I downloaded the app this afternoon, did the registration, went into my setting and checked for an update and it downloaded nougat. The one thing I have found is that Bluetooth sucks! Seriously my music breaks up with it just in my pocket and I'm wearing Bluetooth headphones. Then I took it out of my pocket and put it on the counter and I can't get 5 feet away from the phone and the music breaks up again. Prior to the update I could go to the gym, put my phone down and be a good 40 feet away and it would still work fine.

Thanks to this thread I installed the beta Nougat OS.
Nothing bad so far. I did NOT wipe or remove data.
So far, I really like it. The SoTP meter says it's faster. Only thing that doesn't work so far is my Agenda Widget. Love the improved AOD. Battery seems to last a little longer, but not enough experience to say definitively. I did notice that the phone was warm when at 100% this morning. Haven't seen that since the update that stopped us charging to 100% (even though the display said it was).
The options in Settings are better- much better control of notifications.
I'll post more as I discover it.

Sprint users were part of the beta too, so it shouldn't be like rollouts in the past. Although I don't understand why we've been testing 7.0 and the final is supposed to be 7.1.1, unless Sprint stays on 7.0.

If sammy sends them 7.1.1 them that's what we will get. 7.1.1 isn't that much different from 7.0 just a few features added like app menu short cuts which wouldnt take much for them to add in the final release .I really dnt get how beta is over with all bugs not fixed. I personality still have an issue with Youtube videos not working after some time. Notification tones stop working after some time. No factory reset or caches clear has fixed this in the whole beta process.
