Android Nougat OTA file? - Moto G4 Questions & Answers

Has anyone captured the released OTA update for the moto G4 from India? Can it be flashed?

I have seen nothing confirming N has been released to the public. Motorola confirmed on the Motorola/Lenovo forums that it hasn't been released yet and if you go to Motorola's site, it says that it has only been released to AOSP (Android Open Source Project)

Sure, I'll believe them before I believe Motorola, besides apparently you didn't read the entire article. If you go to the bottom of the article it says, "we've been unable to confirm any standard users there receiving the OTA so far. There's been no indication that the update is incoming in other regions just yet, but we'll be keeping an eye out."
So far all I've seen is speculation and a bunch of kiddies in India thinking they have the final OTA, when even Motorola says it's only been release to AOSP.

5.0.1 has begun to roll out to the Moto G 2014

Well it looks like 5.0.1 has started to roll out to the Moto G 1st and 2nd generation. I hope it fixes the freezing problem I have on my xt1064 running 5.0
Post here if you receive and/or install 5.0.1, and let us know how it works out for you. Such as improvements, bugs, problems with installation, etc. Please include what model you have.

I think we can all safely assume that now, 5 weeks after starting, the "soak test" is now long over and done with. After all, Motorola stated that Lollipop would be out on the Moto G *before* the end of 2014... and guess what? Only 12 days of that left. Unless they're into cutting it fine, this IS the final release, folks.

To be frank, Motorola likely shifted from 5.0 to 5.0.1 midway the soak test. And 5.0.2 is pretty near as well, who knows if they won't shift development for it before this rollout ends.

What does that matter, when it's all Lollipop, after all? Would you prefer they release 5.0 and not a more updated, polished release version instead? They'll release on time, believe me.
Yep just got it, lets see what it shall bring!

It would also be nice if people would also make note of the baseband version associated with each release. There already been enough tears from fools flashing baseband firmware willy-nilly.
Okay, I had upgraded to 22.21.16 via TWRP using KennyWuLee's packaged tool. This morning I received a notice that I had an update available for 22.21.25 which I assume is 5.0.1. So like a dummy I went ahead and accepted. Now all it does is boot into TWRP. When I restart to system from TWRP it boots up just fine then after about 15 seconds reboots to TWRP.
I assume it is looking for the stock recovery which will then allow me to install the update? So will I be safe to go ahead and reflash the stock recovery, reboot and go from there? Or should I go all the way back to stock everything?
I have an XT1063.

Are European buyers still being ignored? XT1068: no MFN, no update of any kind here. If I am interpreting Motorola forum correctly, they haven't released anything in the EU, not even a soak test.

I think Motorola secretly hate us because we can unlock our devices and still make a warranty claim if the hardware fails.

You could be right.
I got this phone happy in the knowledge I'll always be running (nearly) the latest clean version of Android, instead I have a phone with a memory management issue running at least a month behind other continents.
Tongue in cheek aside, I do have some suspicions.
It stands to reason that the people most likely to join the MFN are those who like to tinker and who are eager to receive updates. These people are also the most like to unlock the bootloader. If something goes awry during an OTA roll-out test and the user cannot resolve the issue, support from Motorola can be requested, potentially resulting in a warranty claim, unless the device has been unlocked and was purchased outside of the EU... It therefore seems logical that Motorola would not do soak tests in the EU, where possible: It reduces the blowback in the unlikely event that there is a serious bug in the update.

That sounds like the most plausible reason they may have, if they have one. To be honest, I've got better things to think about than when a frivolous software update arrives for a non-cricital device, but your thoughts certainly are rational ones
Well I was part of the xt1069 Brazilian soak test and I have to say it's a bad joke. A lot of users didn't get the update, there was almost no support or even feedback from Motorola in the forum. And to finish it off, they had an issue with their forum software that got all comments deleted. I don't think EU users are missing much

[DISCUSSION] 5.1 updates has launched. Anyone get it?

According to this brazilian website, the 5.1 update has been released and a friend of mine get the update.
http://olhardigital.uol.com.br/noti...stribuir-versao-5-1-do-android-lollipop/47225
I will try to get some screenshots if possible. Anyone get this update too?
As far as I know, a software update for our device depends entirely on Motorola. Google launched 5.1 but it was for the Nexus phones, so I guess we'll have to wait until Motorola launches the update or someone else make a custom rom. Are you sure your friend is using a Moto G 2014? Maybe I'm lost and we're getting it. I don't know

First off, there is already a 5.1 thread here. Stop filling the forum with duplicates and triplicates.
Secondly, Internal Motorola sources say that Moto G 2014 5.1 updates will begin rolling out March 23.

CONFIRMED Official Lollipop 5.1 for Moto X 2013 [UPDATED 06-19-2015]

Source: David Schuster - https://plus.google.com/+DavidSchuster/posts/cV4vDyyMmw2
LATEST UPDATE [06-19-2015]
Full deployment has started for US Retail, Brazil Retail and Rogers in Canada.
Source: David Schuster - https://plus.google.com/+DavidSchuster/posts/bEVD4De32Uo
UPDATE [06-09-2015]
"I wanted to give a quick update on where we are with the Lollipop upgrades for the 2013 Moto X (1st Gen) devices.
We have started full soak testing in France and Germany retail this week with the expectation of full deployment next week if all goes well.
In addition, we have addressed an issue we found in a previous soak test and should start full soak testing in the US and Brazil for retail later this week. If all goes well, full deployment can happen the following week.
There were some questions about support for Lollipop upgrades from our carrier channels. We are in a number of the carrier labs now so we don't anticipate issues in getting the upgrades deployed. As you guys know.... the carrier channels typically take longer.
UPDATE: If all goes well with the soak testing this week we expect to start deployment for 2013 Moto X (1st gen) in India next week."
Source: David Schuster - https://plus.google.com/+DavidSchuster/posts/ETpoNrkmmrA
UPDATE [04-22-2015]
Due to the "leaks" about 5.1 "updates rolling out" in Brazil, here's some trusted words in regard to 5.1 current state:
"We're still in testing. We'll post something in the parked comments when it moves to the Soak stage and then again when full deployment happens. Don't always believe what you read online."

This is great news, it can surely only be a matter of weeks now before it is officially released
I'm still on 4.4.4... Should I take the official or just wait for a rooted version?
Also assuming there is still issues with xposed?

Do you mean those who installed 5.0.2 test drive?
I don't think Motorola would leave the official MFN testers on an incomplete test drive version, furthermore it makes sense to use the same testers to test 5.1, so as soon as those users get 5.1 it will leak and those who sideloaded 5.0.2 will have the upgrade.
Otherwise, it would be as easy as return to 4.4.4 temporary (skipping gpt and motoboot) and sideload the 5.1 upgrade, not big deal.
No matter what, the situation is not to feel bad about them, maybe they'll even get the upgrade before you do.
I have an brazilian XT 1058 and take the soak. I will be able to update to 5.1?
Logically yes.

I can confirm, that downgrading of bootloader from 30.BC back to 30.B7 IS possible. I bricked one my phone for test: 4.4.4->5.0.2 (via OTA)->4.4.2->bricked by OTA via WiFi. Now it's running again Thanks to Tenigima
good news i hope soak 5.1 for all regions not only for brazil as with 5.0.2
Ii there a specific date ??

I'm not saying Moto did or did not fix anything, but so many people keep saying "Ohhh its version XXXX which has XXXX bug!"
1.) We don't run AOSP
2.) When google updates android, all of those changes are published. 5.1 is NOT a full re-write, sections of code are fixed. These fixes are published and if moto REALLY felt like it they could apply all the same code changes to a 5.0.1 base... At that point what is "version number" is is kinda semantics....
Moto started work on 5.0.2, so that is what their build is called, there is no reason they cannot include the already published bug fixes from later versions of android so they they can release their tested a developed build rather then throwing everything away and starting with a new base every time google updates.

[DISCUSSION] Android 7.0 Nougat on the Moto G (2015)

To keep things clean on the CM13 thread, this thread is for discussing Android 7.0 Nougat for the Moto G (2015)
Here is a list of the available 7.0 ROMs for our phone
AOSP: [ROM][7.0][osprey] The Android Open Source Project
CM14: [ROM][MSIM][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 14 For Moto G 2015 [BETA] ---> Flash this if you have a dual-sim device
Screenshots provided by Alberto97
Thanks to @Alberto97 for getting Nougat up and running.
Thank you!
You think that is possible to receive official 7.0?
I don't think Lenovomoto would push through an official Android 7.0, reason being:
- Vulkan is not supported on the 410 SoC
- My partner stock Moto G 2015 still at 6.0 and not 6.0.1 (Asia Pacific model, not Indian version which has 6.0.1)...edited..
Otherwise we'll have to wait for the CM14 and I hope everyone contributes to our very own devs who put their hard work into providing this ROM to our device in our community. I know I sure am...

I think that we will get official Nougat for the following reasons
- Vulkan is not mandatory for 7.0, and Vulkan is used alongside Open GL-ES anyway so that shouldn't be a worry
- The Moto G3 is only a year old and has only really received one major software upgrade (5.1.1 --> 6.0/6.0.1). In comparison, the Moto G2 has gone from Kitkat to Lollipop to Marshmallow and I can't see Lenovorola giving Nougat to the Moto G2
Update or no update, we WILL have some form of stable AOSP/CM flavour of 7.0 in the near future anyway
Can't wait guys!! This may be one of the few times I donate!!

If anyone else wants to say this, you have three options:
1. Thank one of those posts to show you agree
2. Just wait and realise we all already know you want a nougat
3. Realise that you're not making sense. If you can't wait, that means you are unable to wait, but you are currently waiting, so you're doing the impossible. So really you can wait, you just don't want to wait, and I'm being too analytical.

Simply put, what it says is 100% right. The site says that the Moto g3 will POSSIBLY get nougat. In other words, it's saying that we have might get it. Their guess is as good as yours or mine. Is it reputable? It doesn't seem like it. It's just a random not well known site.

UPDATES

Can anyone tell me what the most current build of Android is for the Moto g5 plus ? Currently it's showing build 7.0 January security patch NPN25 137-33
I'm used to just FastBoot and Nexus/Pixle devices so Motorola is a change for me , does Moto have an image site or somewhere I can download factory Images from ?
Sadly no. You have to wait to get the OTA directly, or for someone to capture a compatible one and post it here. I'm retgb and have exactly the same version as you currently with a January security patch.

Yeah sorry I just meant there is no official firmware listing so you're reliant on people posting links here. Also there's a bit of a minefield for us as there isn't one standard device/software channel across the whole world like there is with Nexus devices. I really miss those days, but the Pixel was just too rich for me.

That has been my big question, I'm on retus and with several different versions being posted, will I ruin my modem or make some parts incompatible if I sideload? I am not rooted yet but I'm frustrated being on the same(??) version you are.
