My device: stock Moto X Pure Edition, never been unlocked, rooted or modified in any way
Current version: motorola/clark_retus/clark6.0/MPHS24.49-18-3/3
Status: bootloop
Back in May when the MPHS24.49-18-4 OTA was released, my phone started the install then ended up in a bootloop (again, no customization, just something got corrupted and my own bad luck). I have files on it that I need to backup, so I didn't do a factory reset to try and eliminate the bootloop. I happen to have another Moto X Pure Edition, so I thought I would just wait for the next security OTA to drop, snag the download link, and then sideload the OTA to the bootlooping Moto X. For the past 7-8 months, it's been sitting on my desk and when I saw the good Moto X get an update I was super excited. I was able to download the Jan OTA (about 40MB) and attempted to sideload via ADB to the bad Moto X.
At that point I realized the bad Moto X never finished the May (49-18-4) OTA and I'm still at 49-18-3. I've managed to find full ROMs, but I'm wondering if anyone has just the OTA to get me from 49-18-3 to 49-18-4. As I said, I don't want to do a factory reset because I haven't been able to backup some important files. Really hoping just reflashing the OTA will eliminate the bootloop (it may not, but thought I'd give it a try).
Thanks to anyone who may be able to help out.

Hey all,
Having a small issue with my Verizon LG G2.
When I first got it on launch, I rooted it, installed loki (to bypass the locked boot loader) and have been running custom ROMs.
This is the way I ahve been running it since, on 12B, with loki and CM11.
Before I installed custom roms I did a image backup using Clockwork.
Yesterday I bought a Droid Turbo, so it was time to restore the G2 in preparation for sale.
I attempted to restore my original backup of the stock image, but it failed (stating something about an inability to restore/system, resulting in a soft bricked phone.
I fixed this by downloading the LG Flash tool, and the stock 24A .kdz image, putting the phone in download mode and flashing it.
The LG flash tool seemed a bit buggy, complaining about not finding servers, but eventually flashed the phone with the .kdz.
Everything seems to have worked well. Root is gone, clockwork is gone, (and I assume loki is gone as well, but I can't tell) but now I can not do the latest OTA updates, and am stuck on 24A.
It's not that it downloads the OTA, and then fails to install it, but rather it complains that it is unable to download the updates at all.
I was thinking this might have something to do with the fact that the CDMA radio is now unactivated (since I got a new phone) and it somehow needs to verify with the Verizon network prior to downloading, so I grabbed a working SIM and popped it it in. Even with 4G via the SIM, the OTA downloads don't succeed.
Does the CDMA radio need to be activated in order for a phone to receive OTA updates? If not, I ahve something else wrong going on, and would appreciate any suggestions regarding fixing it.
The plan was to sell the LG G2 to pay for my Droid Turbo upgrade, but I don't want to sell the phone to someone if I think it may be having issues.
I would appreciate any thoughts and suggestions from you guys!
Hi all,
I was running my stock 5.1.1 (LPD23.118-6.1) rom rooted for a long time and wasn't able to receive OTA updates due to the obvious reason about rooting and etc. My recovery wasn't changed. So, I saw the thread about that "flashable zips" about 6.0 roms and decided to test it. Due to some crashes and forced closes, I decided to back to my previous backup of rooted 5.1.1 stock rom. But now I want to have my phone stock as hell, and the first thing that I do was flash the most updated firmware that I found in here that was available to download. I flashed the whole LPD23.118-6.3 stock rom, a little bit newer than my old stock rooted rom. Everything working, everything fine, except...
In bootloader it says "Software status: modified", and when I try to manually check about updates, it says that my software is up to date, which I know isn't true, because OTA update of Android 6.0 is already available (i have a friend who got an X Play and he already received the ota).
How can I solve this?

The force closes you got are completely normal and if you read the thread you will have found out you just need to reboot your phone until they go away.
The status modified just means your bootloader was unlocked and doesn't matter.
You have a few options, keep trying for OTA, flash another version and keep trying for OTA, sideload one of the available OTA zip files, or try a TWRP backup.

Thanks for your reply. Actually i'm downloading the recently posted 6.0 firmware for the Brazilian/Latin American rom in firmware's thread. Unfortunately the download is very slow, but I guess I can surely update without losing anything. The only strange thing is that I didn't received any OTAs....

It's not necessary that if your friend has received the OTA then even you will receive it within few days. The OTA is rolled batch wise and no one knows which phone is in which batch except Moto of course. [emoji4]

Long story short, my Nexus 6P will not update to 7.0. I just got the OTA update notification today but when I downloaded it and waited forever for it to optimize my apps, my phone boots into 6.0.1. I tried getting 7.0 from the android developer program about a month ago and I was able to download it then too, but again, the phone just goes back to 6.0.1 for some reason. I decided to just wait until I get the OTA but the problem has still persisted. Any ideas on why its stuck on 6.0.1? Any way to fix this?
Also, I bought this phone about 1 and a half months ago used from eBay. It has been working perfectly fine. Just wanted to put that info out there.
It's possible you bought the phone rooted and/or with a custom ROM or recovery? If you aren't completely stock, an OTA update will fail. This isn't necessarily a single 'right' answer question, but you should probably flash the factory image for a completely fresh install. Grab the factory image at https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/angler-nrd90u-factory-7c9b6a2b.zip and follow the guide, section 14 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928 and you should be able to update.
I just got the 7.0 OTA myself completely stock and when it rebooted it's still on 6.0.
Nobody else is having this problem?
I think you've both misread the update info. I received MTC20L update yesterday, which said that it contains September security patches and also prepares the device for Android 7.0.
The update never claimed that your device will update to Android 7.0. But don't worry, we'll get it soon, at least I hope so!
MTC20L is the Aug security update and the factory image has been posted for 1.5 months, so odd that you're getting it now. Most people would have been receiving N OTA updates. The only way for us to guess what is going on with the OP is if he edits it to include the build number.
I also just got MTC20L yesterday.6.0.1. No idea why no 7.0. Waiting sucks..........It's been a month since "rollout".
It's true I didn't read what the update was yesterday, but I'm 95% sure it had something with "7.0" on there. How do I know what I installed yesterday? I'm on 6.0.1, with the Sept 6 security patch, and MTC20L.
MTC20F was the August update, MTC20L is September one, released 6.9.
I took the developer preview (mistake as it was a hassle that I had to fix) but remember guys, Android N updates in the background, so while it reboots to update, it doesn't take forever with the whole "android is upgrading" screen. I got the NRD90T OTA yesterday (wierd because the NRD90U is on the webpage) and later in the day I gave it a reboot just the set it straight again. I forget the actual wording but there is a secondary partition for updates so they do it in the background, and then revert back after a reboot.
Just flashed my XT1622 (UK Moto G4, NOT the plus version) using Nougat stock rom with September security patch(https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138). Thanks @tywinlannister7 who made the guide. It worked smoothly although it's in Moto G4 Plus forum.
Now, I got some questions regarding root. I did a forum search to find the post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-root-moto-g4-plus-supersu-android-t3587918), which is quite good actually. However, I flashed my xt1622 for two reasons. The first is to upgrade to the latest system - Nougat (well, it not 'the latest' at the moment). The second is because I flashed TWRP on Marshmallow immediately after buying my Moto G4 to get root access, which stopped me to update the phone via OTA for a long time. I can still get the OTA notification, but it just won't let me update - failed after ~20 minutes. So what I did is just manually delay the update notification for 24 hours every day at 12.00pm. It bothered me a lot so I decided to go for a clean flash.
By flashing the new system, I lost some features I used quite a lot.
1. The root access for sure. I am not going to flash TWRP this time in case new patches would come over OTA again. If I flashed TWRP, I will face the same issue as I was on Marshmallow before this flashing. Is it possible to root without flashing TWRP that stops me to update over OTA?
2. I used to flash a specially made logo.bin to prevent the unlocked bootloader screen to appear. Now on Nougat, is there any similar logo.bin to do the same? A download link would be appreciated.
3. I used Llama with different profiles for some automated work such as change alarm volume at home or at workplace, make the phone ring loudly everywhere else, switch to flight mode at 12.00am at midnight and go back at 6.00am in the morning, automatically restart my phone at 1.00am while I am sleeping, and so on. This app won't work properly without root access. - well, looks like we go back to the first question of gaining root access.
Thanks for reading anyway.
Hi, I'm sorry if I'm being redundant. I've seen similar questions posted in this section but not about my specific problem.
My prepaid Verizon G4 Play started bootlooping a few days ago. I went through all the YouTube fixes I could find and have reached the point that I'd like to reflash stock images. It came with Android 6.0.1 and I OTA updated it to 7.1.1 within the past couple of months. I haven't finished paying the $75 ransom that Verizon wants to unlock it for me but I don't know if I should even need to unlock it in order to reflash 7.1.1 or try to revert it to 6.0.1.
I can't do anything with it at the Android level, since it won't boot all the way up. When I try to flash images from harpia_vzw_oem_vzw_user_7.1.1_NPI26.48-38_48_release-keys-cid2_vzw.tar.gz that I downloaded from mirrors.lolinet.com, the only one that succeeds is logo.bin. All the others I've tried have come back with "(bootloader) Preflash validation failed" errors.
Should this work if I get the phone unlocked? Can anyone explain why I can't flash these so-called stock images with the phone locked?
Thanks!
