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

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.

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.

The OTA can be found in the first comment here.

Thanks. I was hoping for the release version, but I guess the SOAK Test will have to do.

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

Thanks!

[Condor] 5.1 official OTA captured

Guys, it's good news here. The 5.1 OTA has been captured by one of the guys on FB. He specially rooted his phone just to capture the OTA for us, so great thanks to him. His name is Saurabh Das.
Here's the link to the final 5.1 OTA from Motorola: http://www.mediafire.com/download/m....36.condor_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03.zip (209MB)
Note: This update file will only work if you are on the second soak test update which has the size of 13MB.
Here are the links to all the soak test updates from Motorola:
Soak 1: http://www.mediafire.com/download/f....32.condor_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03.zip (341MB)
Soak 2: http://www.mediafire.com/download/e....36.condor_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03.zip (13MB)
Soak 3: NOT NEEDED.
How to update:
1. You have to make sure you are on the second soak test update 5.0.2 having system version 22.21.36 from Motorola (13MB).
2. If you are not on system version 22.21.36, then do the following:
Flash stock ROM Kitkat 4.4.4. If you don't have it, download from here: https://mega.co.nz/#!SUZA3AbR!P_qdV24-ZpqSwKhCPjifBcd7en7Y7AkBZpRApb2loHs
Follow this guide to flash 4.4.4 on your Moto E: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/development/downgrade-5-0-x-to-4-4-4-stock-firmware-t3031073
Once you're on 4.4.4, boot into the system. Now place the Soak 1 file (341MB) in the root of the SD card, go to Settings>About phone>System Updates. Your system will detect the update. Install it.
Now you'll be on system version 22.21.32. Now put the Soak 2 file (13MB) in the root of the SD card, go to Settings>About phone>System Updates. Your system will detect the update. Install it again.
Now you'll finally be on the system version 22.21.36.
3. Now download the 5.1 OTA (209MB) and rename it to:
Code:
Blur_Version.23.21.34.condor_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03
...and place it in the root of the SD card.
4. Go to system->about phone->system updates. Your system will detect the update. Install it. Let it finish. You're done!
Congrats :highfive:
Thanks
This upgrade to xt1021 been tested or xt1022?
What about those who already installed the 7 MB update???
This is for XT1022 only.
For those who updated to 7MB either wait for update from motorola or flash 4.4.4-> 5.0.2 (both 341mb and 13mb) and then apply this 209mb update.
It has been confirmed that the capturer has successfully updated to 5.1 system version 23.21.34.

in 13mb update
Please put clear instructions . whether to flash thru custom recovery or by going thru ota 5.0.2 and put the file of 208mb in internal or extsdcard and check for ota updates ?
YOU NEED TO BE ON UNMODIFIED AND VERY MUCH ORIGINAL STOCK 5.0.2 LOLLIOP UPDATE OF THE SIZE 13MB (SECOND SOAK TEST). THIS MEANS YOU HAVE TO FLASH STOCK 4.4.4, THEN UPDATE IT TO FIRST SOAK TEST (341MB), THEN AGAIN UPDATE IT TO SECOND SOAK TEST (13MB). AT THIS POINT, YOU MIGHT WANT TO CHECK FOR UPDATES VIA ABOUT PHONE->SYSTEM UPDATES, IF YOU GET A NOTIFICATION FOR 5.1, THEN ENJOY OTHERWISE YOU CAN USE THE FILE UPLOADED ON MEDIAFIRE HAVING THE SIZE 209MB AND PUT IN ON THE SD CARD AND CHECK FOR UPDATES MANUALLY LIKE YOU DID BEFORE. IF IT DOESN'T DETECT, THE FILE NAME ACTUALLY NEEDS TO BE MODIFIED TO PROBABLY 23.21.34 WHERE IT SAYS 22....SOMETHING. TRY AFTER THAT. OR ROOT UR PHONE AND PUT THE 209MB FILE IN /CACHE/ WITHOUT RENAMING AND CHECK FOR UPDATES. IF NOTHING WORKS, I'M SORRY, I don't REALLY KNOW WHAT THE FILENAME NEEDS TO BE. BTW, THE CAPTURER successfully UPDATED TO 5.1. WE BOTH STAYED AWAKE THE WHOLE NIGHT FOR THIS PURPOSE AND HE SAYS 5.1 IS REALLY SMOOTH.
SORRY FOR ALL CAPS.
If your phone doesnt detect the update, rename it to .38. It worked for me

Someone who is on 5.1 has to make a system backup on twrp and upload it. Thats the best way for making flashable zip
I think it does not work in TWRP(Custom recovery)
Stayed awake whole night and I'm more confused than ever. Don't know if I should flash KitKat or wait for update for 7 MB version or keep trying renaming it different ways.

Clarification
Hi guys, Im saurabh who uploaded the 5.1 ota.
Well, I never used the last 7mb incremental soak test that few people used. Before lollipop soak test, I was running the the kitkat 4.4.4.
So just like others, I used the first captured 350 mb approx soak test and copied it to external sd and got the lolipop soak test by checking for update. But as we all know , it had few issues , so thankfully some guy uploaded 13 mb incremental file too. I again installed it by copying to sd card and checking for update.
Meanwhile, few people got 7 mb update, but I was so annoyed by the 5.0.2 performance that I never bothered to find out about it. On 14th june, I got picked for Motorola Feedback Network. Anyhow, being bugged by the poor performance of stock soak test 5.0.2 I decided to unlock bootloader and root my device. Incidentally , after unlocking bootloader my mobile factory retested as expected. After booting I got OTA prompt of 5.1 being available . Now , rather than installing I thought of capturing it, so after downloading the 209 mb file I rooted it and captured the ota. (Again I had to go through the painful steps of going back to kitkat 4.4.4 to get back stock recovery, but Nilakanto, OP, helped me with all the correct files so thanks a lot to him). So, all in all, I am running lollipop 5.1 now.
Things needed :
First soak test of 350 mb file
Second soak test of 13 mb.
I never installed the 7mb soak test that was pushed later.
Stock recovery
Locked or unlocked bootloader does not affect it as you all know.
Ofcourse, no root
You may have to rename the file as one user suggested.
Good luck guys.:good:
EDIT : Many users are also getting OTA prompt for 5.1. So , I think everyone running soak tests shall get it sooner or later.
Some screenshots
Here are a few screenshots and available memory after installing 5.1. I did not had any extra app installed.

Unsure about updates.

Hey guys i have question. I am currently on 24.11.18.lux.reteu.reteu.en.En reteu. I flashed this with a link that was posted on here before the update for 6.0 came to my country. The update that came OTA was 24.41.33 (with the januari patch). I never received this and am wondering if i will still get updates in the future or if I have to keep doing this myself. I am not rooted or anything. I just updated with the link that was posted here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/help/marshmallow-ota-uk-t3277756/post64971862#post64971862
So basically:
I flashed from 5.1.1 to 6.0 myself with link posted here through recovery mode.
I now have 24.11.18. (december patch)
Others in my country that just waited have 24.41.33. (januari patch)
What do I do now in order to get updates? Wait and it will come? Or do i have to keep updating myself?
Hope everything is clear. :good: Thanks in advance.

The best to do is flash the 5.1.1 factory image for your model and location. And then updating through the normal way. Not manually
Thanks. I'm not sure how to go about doing that. So updates wont come to my phone anymore OTA? I've read on here that the 6.0.1 update should arrive soon. I'm new to all this and don't want to risk breaking my phone. Maybe it's better to wait? I'm from the Netherlands too btw.

You should have the january security patch, if you dont and dont have an update you need to flash the factory image. If you don't want to brick your phone you shouldnt flash updates manually in the first place.
You can also try this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759884307 which is the flashable zip for the dutch 6.0 firmware (but you need twrp and unlocked bootloader for that.
But you probably need to download and flash this: https://www.google.com/url?q=https:...sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGTQx60cH6emtbDNwtOZh-3m7Mdww
And follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750
(doesn't need an unlocked bootoader
Thanks. I think I'll just wait until 6.0.1 arrives here in NL and see if it let's me update too before i try and do all this.

New stock firmware available (24.221.8)

Hi all.
I just noticed there's new firmware. Has anyone updated yet? In using an XT1572.
I'm rooted etc... So I can't quite simply update.
Should I be flashing the last stock firmware i have and then update? The last fastboot I have is the February patch, but my phone is on the May patch. Whatever firmware i flashed gives me another language in the update notification screen...lol.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Otherwise, I'll just do my thing blindly.

After your post, I rechecked the update service on my phone (xt1572 also). I got also new update here, but right now I cant do update (rooted + xposed). WIll try later, but I suppose that there is just new security patch. Strange that I got another version..
EDIT:
fount out Motowebpage
it look like the only improvements are - September security patch there.
Is the update for India dual sim xt1572?
I've installed the update today. The download size was about 40 MB, so seems to be a small patch indeed. I can confirm that it contains the september security patch, haven't noticed anything else yet.
I do think it's a shame that Moto is lacking so much in the update department lately. This is a security patch of two months ago... Also I would have expected them to have news on Nougat by now, at least for their Moto Z family...
6.0.1 ? at the time of 7.0?

Has someone already tried the update with Flashfire? Im Rooted, on Frankenclark and Xposed. Does anyone know if we can get a flashable zip to flash in TWRP? To much work to go back to Stock, update and install everything again. Is the patch it worth?
Sent from my XT1572 using XDA-Developers mobile app
can someone upload full firmware for retasia? thx
We have to wait for Moto to release/leak the firmware image, the OTA zip won't do any good... This usually takes 2-4 weeks, sometimes more, to get the factory image. Be patient.
BTW, it is nothing special, all it does is patch to the Sept 1, 2016, security update, including Dirty Cow (which if you have been following the security threads is pretty much worthless on Lollipop and newer devices anyway)

[Q] Nougat update is back again. Link for OTA shared

Hi guys,
I have received an OTA update for android nougat. I was rooted and have xposed framework. So I have flashed stock firmware so that system status is changed to Official. I have received OTA updates after flashing till January 2017 security patch. After this update, even if i manually check for update, it just says "Your device's software is up to date".
Not able to get OTA for nougat when everyone else in India are receiving it. I received update for the same device when I had root and Xposed. Please help. Currently I'm on stock firmware without root & xposed.
Update:
Received the OTA update again. sharing the link here. Just extracted it from /data partition. Its unmodified.

I have downloaded it once, but not able to find it in the cache partition. Then flashed stock firmware and no more update notification for Nougat. Even I'm wondering what really is happening.
Maybe Motorola might be pushing the update randomly. I see that many others are reporting the same issue at XDA. I hope we would get the update in a couple of days.

Seems you are using the right version of marshmallow.
What i did was:-
1. Downloaded the ROM from https://github.com/motoxplay/stock. Indian version 5.1.1 (XT1562).
2. Flashed it.
3. Now the ROM was automatically updated to 6.0.1 then 7.1.1.
Just try to download and flash the ROM from here. https://github.com/motoxplay/stock
after flashing 5.1.1 it said device up to date.not working now its Lollipop.

I have already tried this method. Flashed Indian Official Lollipop firmware and it received OTA updates till Jan 2017 security patch. No more update after that! When did you receive the notification?
I think Motorola has rolled back the OTA due to battery drain and other issues few people reported. Fingers crossed!

Kindly select based on region.
Updates will come based on combination of country & IEMI number.
If you are not from India and flashed the Indian version then it don't update further.
So make sure while flashing the ROM.
After flash check, should have stock recovery and ROM than only you will get the same.
Guys! I have received the OTA update today again. Not sure where to capture the OTA. Last time I didn't find it in Cache partition. This time I was able to pull the OTA zip file from data partition. Will upload it this evening if anyone wants the OTA zip file.
yes

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

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?

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..

He meant a link to download the new apps without installing the soak test

Why moto dorsn't remove the buggy carrier name at the bottom lf the quick settings? With oreo we got that information at the top, no need to have it twice
