Amazon XT1625 flashed to non-AMZ MPJ24.139-48 requesting OTA - Moto G4 Questions & Answers

Hello - I have the prime edition of the Moto but used rootjunkie's RSDLite method to put the non-Amazon version on (build number MPJ24.139-49)
My channel is still set to "amz" and the bootloader is locked. Today I started receiving a message about OTA to the new version of MPJ24.139-64.
Is it safe to install (I've seen others having issues but it looked like they have an unlocked bootloader)? How do I know if this is the Motorola version or the Amazon version (I do not want the ads back)?

I am in the same situation too. I have a locked bootloader and flashed the retail version using RSDLite. I'm on build number MPJ24.139-49. The software channel on my phone is "amz". This evening I also got a message about the OTA update to build MPJ24.139-64. Has anyone in this situation done the update?

I was in the same situation, updated and got the ads and Amazon apps back. Tryed to remove them and my Moto was stuck in fastboot mode until I managed to fix it. If you don't want the ads back don't update

Yeah, I can confirm the update puts back all of the Amazon stuff back on the phone. I was looking for a way to get back into the Amazon apps anyways so that I could get the future updates.

How did you apply the update, get rid of them and get back to normal? I've unlocked the bootloader and installed the systemless root, which I want to keep but I also don't want to skip security updates.

Right now I'm stuck with the ads, I couldn't find any way to remove them with this update yet.

I guess I'll hold off then. Thanks.

What are the options moving forward?
1) Is it possible to disable the device from continuously prompting to update? I went to Google Play Services and disabled notifications but that does not stop the system from prompting open the system update app and asking if I would like to update.
2) Can i install the non-Amazon version of the 64 ROM (I'm having difficulty understanding if this works on other threads)? If so, would that stop the device from hounding for system update (until the next release)?

Same problem here. Have turned of notifications in Motorola Update services but it has not stopped them. Tried renaming the Motorola OTA update app in / system but unable to due to no root. Do not want the ads but i don't want to be hounded to update either. I guess i will wait another week to see if they stop but if they don't i may take the update and then complain to Amazon about the ads being very intrusive and bright in dim lighting

I know you can't disable motorola update services but what about just blocking all notifications in the app settings for Motorola update services.

I just blocked moto notifications and will see if it works. If it does I'll report back.
Can I update to the non-prime 64 without any expected issues?

While blocking notifications did not work I was able to force disable the moto update does. This has to be done every time after reboot.
Has anyone successfully loaded the non-amazon 64 IMG on a locked Amazon xt1625?

You have to flash a blank but valid oem.img to block updates.
fastboot flash oem oem.img
I'm sure that the rootjunky website has it somewhere...

How to OTA update from 6.0.1 with "modified software" (rooted) to Nougat?

So I've been using 6.0.1 since I got this phone last year. I rooted it pretty much immediately, but then Samsung pushed out one of their security patches, which basically "bricked" the software. Whenever I try to update the phone, I get a fine:
The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. Try downloading software updates using Smart Switch on your computer or visit a customer service center
Click to expand...

Basically I rooted my phone, so OTA updates aren't available.
Apparently the new Nougat update is now live in Denmark, so I really want to update my phone, but I don't want to lose my apps, documents, images, and so on. I basically want to do an update, just like I never rooted my phone. I don't care about keeping my root.
How do I go on about this? I just want to "remove my root" and do an OTA update to get Nougat the most legit way possible.
Thanks!
EDIT: I should probably also say, that when I open SuperSU, I get a:
There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem

Since that security update from Samsung last summer, my root magically disappeared, but it's still there apparently.

Best path to Pie upgrade?

Picked up a Moto 6 Plus (XT1926-7, retla) last month and have been running the latest 8.0 (8.0.0_OPWS27.113-89-5) with unlocked bootloader and Magisk. Working flawless. :good:
Decided to take the plunge to Pie last night, which ended up with me have to do a full restore of a 8.0.0_OPWS27.113-89-5, then taking the OTA to 9.0
Upon successful OTA to 9.0, I then rebooted and used fastboot TWRP to try to take a clean nandroid backup. I could backup all partitions except Data (fork failure to make the rar).
I then rebooted again (still stock, no Magisk install yet), and noticed that I was getting a "dm-verity disabled" warning on my bootup screen and then a warning under System Update check that says "Updates are disable for this device due to compromised system integrity".
Have others tried the same yet? Is this "compromise" due to the unlocked bootloader, or did TWRP trip something? Is it possible to run Pie with Magisk and still be a google certified device?
Just tried again:
* Clean wipe and install to 8.0 (89-5)
* Bare bones phone config.
* enable USB Debug
* Accepted OTA Update and reboot
* Successful update to 9.0 (PPW29.116-11, patch level Dec 1, 2018)
* Play Store version 13.0.23-all [0] [PR] 227930514
* enable USB Debug
* reboot
* following warning on the blue/yellow bootup screen: "Verity mode is set to disabled"
* System Update page: "System Integrity is Compromised", "As your device system integrity is compromised, it is no longer eligible for software updates. Please contact customer service to re-program the device with official software."
EDIT:
* Magisk rooting still works: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g6-plus/how-to/3-how-to-install-root-aka-magisk-t3854244

I used the files below to return to stock 8.0 prior to upgrade. I did not use files to upgrade to 9.0, I used the OTA system updater.

Hmm. I would not use the twrp installer, since I haven't heard anywhere that it would work flawless with evert. Skip that and use fastboot boot twrp.img to access recovery. Do not flash. Boot.
May i ask you a question kind sir. I have the same model (G6 plus) de same oppw thingy (8.0.0_OPWS27.113-89-5) and when i hit the update button did not get any OTA. It says i have the latest version and still in november security patch. How did you trigger the OTA? Or you sideload it? Thanks kind sir
Nice to see that you had an OTA to Pie. I was about to ask where you live, because I don't have the OTA here in Belgium yet. But then I saw you have a RETLA device, so I guess I will have to wait some more!
Is the phone working well on Pie?

I've used both, but the installed one worked identically so far for backing up and installing Magisk.

I'm on the retla software channel, which I believe is the first to get the Pie OTAs.

Yep.. purchased on Amazon in the US (I don't think they ever officially released G6+ model direct to US). So far, working smooth. Haven't found any bugs.
Should also note that even with the Verity and "not update eligible" issues, and now rooted with Magisk, it does still show as Play Store Certified.
@thump i am in the retla too. I did not get the pop up update neither via security o update section. I have the same OPWS as yours too ??

Weird. Mine badgered me every hour with a "Software Update is Available" notification for the past week. Even when I did the clean stock reflash to 89-5, it notified me a few minutes after clean reboot, before I even got around to checking System Updates. Maybe rolling it out in staggered waves of some type?

Excellent. Good luck!

Block 8.0??

Is there anyway to block the notification for the 8.0 update? It pops up randomly when I turn it on and I'd rather not have to deal with downgrading because someone in the house accidentally selected upgrade.
I have updates disabled in the developer options but I'm still prompted to start the update.
There is if u have root

I do indeed. What are my options?
I froze the update service using Titanium Backup but any application that allows you to disable or freeze a service will do it. You could also use something like AfWall+ to stop the service having online visibility so it wouldn't know there is an update.

Downgrade question - possible upgrade upon restart?

Hey all,
I am very much willing to wipe my phone to do a downgrade.
I have the OP8 Pro, unrooted (never rooted/never unlocked bootloader).
The scenario I see is - I downgrade my phone to 10.15.13 (I have the INAA modell). I'm sure at some point the phone will check for an OTA.
My question - Is it all possible for the phone to upgrade itself if it restarts?
Meaning, is there a time limit that the update is sitting in the queue waiting for the user to press reboot to install? Or can I just somehow figure out a way to silence the system notification of an update pending?
Not sure if that makes sense but my hope is to just go back to 10 and enjoy certain things that just worked out better for me unrooted vs 11 unrooted until some things are ironed out.
Thanks for your time.
No you would need to initialise the upgrade, unless you have automatic updates on.
You would have seen the initial installation begin.
Least that's my experience of it. The update is stored on the phone so you may also be able to delete it.
Turn off automatically download updates.
I downgraded using the special firmware I found (couldn't find official to do it ) and then installed the official EU/UK firmware straight after with no problem

Will taking OTA update on S8 affect my ability to root or install custom bootloader?

Hi!
I picked up a second hand Galaxy S8 (SM-G950UI 64GB) over the summer with plans to root it and install a custom ROM. I haven't activated it yet, but I was using it on my home WiFi and was notified that it downloaded an OTA update and it would be installed on the next boot. Since then I haven't touched it because I know that some updates can complicate or nullify the ability to root or install a custom bootloader, ROM, etc. I've done some searches on how to prevent the install, but haven't found anything except for how to disable your phone from downloading it to begin with. Now that the update is downloaded to my phone, is there a way to halt it's installation before I move forward with activation and customization? Or is this even a concern I should be worried about?
Thank you!
bump
factory reset, if no gogle account. if there is google account the phone is doomed.
or just neglect the update and directly boot in download mode, uncheck auto reboot in odin options tab, and flash twrp. also s8 can potentially get to Android 11, but latest is 10, you can ask me if needed

I'm not entirely sure, it may have updated in the past and I didn't notice and now it has another update. I just removed google account and factory reset which seems to have cleared the update, thank you. Unfortunately I'm reading that my g950ui is pretty locked down as far as custom recovery and roms are concerned to begin with, so this is kinda irrelevant after some further research this morning.

Probably type on build number 7 times and send me A screenshot? Is oem unlock greyed out?
also remember to also delete samsung account if there is,and remove screen lock.
this?

There is no samsung account and I removed screen lock.
OEM Unlocking isn't even a greyed out option on my phone. It's completely removed from the menu.
maybe try flashing G950F firmware in odin?
