Amazon XT1625 flashed to non-AMZ MPJ24.139-48 requesting OTA

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...

This Sub is effin confusing. Need help removing ads on a unlocked bootloader xt1625

1st off I've been on XDA for many years and this Sub-forum confuses the hell out of me. Threads are cluttered with talk over all the variants of the G4 which confused me on what I could do with my device. That being said here is my issue...
I just got a XT1625 G4 and proceeded to try to get the adds removed. Reading this thread. It failed so it said to unlock the bootloader via getting a key from Moto which they let me do and I am unlocked according to the boot screen warning and fastboot info reporting "flashing_unlocked".
I then ran the script again but the device was unable to boot and went straight into recovery with it reporting at the bottom "WE HAVE DETECTED AN ATTEMPT TO FLASH UNAUTHORIZED SW ON YOUR DEVICE. CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR ASSISTANCE." which I fixed by following this thread
Now reading more users say that this device can not have the bootloader unlocked (um mine is) and that amazon/moto have patched removing adds. Not sure what is true so I need some clarification.
Ideally I want to just flash a stock rom with no adds if possible and receive ota updates...can i?
OR remove the adds on the amz rom and get ots updates.
This phone is not for me so i dont want to have to fix it all the time. If this is not possible im going to send this amazon virus infected phone back....
I would honestly spring for the normal xt1625, you can even flash the nougat update on it since it's the xt1643 with a lower camera, no laser focus, and no fingerprint reader.
I got mine at best buy and did unlocks with no issues. It's definitely an Amazon thing. Like my old Moto g on Verizon I couldn't unlock.

FlashFire fails to run on rooted Moto G4 Play

Any luck with FlashFire on Moto G4 Play (or Moto G4)?
I have installed 'FlashFire-v0.52-20160718223301.apk' on Moto G4 Play rooted with SuperSU-v2.78.
When I try to run it, it starts and then closes without any messages
i have an issue with flashfire on cm 14.1
When I launch it, there is a warning screen:
Exclamation mark in a red circle
"Root access could not be acquired, or you are not runnign either SuperSU or (CM SU with SELinux set to Permissive). Are you rooted?"
Root access is enabled in "Developer options"

First, I rooted my Moto G4 Play with stock firmware using the GUIDE for Moto G (not Play). Then, I installed the latest version of FlashFore v.053.
So far, so good.
Before doing anything , I requested and obtained an unlock code for bootloader from Motorola

I solved the issue. It was due to the SELinux mode in "about phone" menu. couple of commands in terminal and it was solved.

[REQUEST] Screenshots / videos of T-mobile version recovery mode

Hi folks,
To maintain Oxygen Updater, a tool to allow updating OnePlus smartphones faster, I'd like to know some things about the T-Mobile variant of the OnePlus 6T:
- Is it true that it has no 'local upgrade' option in the System Updates section of the settings app?
- Is it true that sideloading / flashing update packages in the stock recovery mode is not possible?
- Are there any other ways (without requiring a computer, root or unlocked bootloader) to update this device - other than waiting for the official OTA popup to appear?
Since I don't live in the USA, I cannot get my hands on one myself to answer these questions.
Therefore, i ask if somebody can answer these questions & post some pictures / screenshots of the stock recovery mode & the system update section of this 6T variant. That way i can confirm if the t-mobile device can actually be supported in the Oxygen Updater app. Your help is highly appreciated!

Moto g4 Amazon XT1625 manual update?¿?

Friends I want to update my moto g4 xt1625 amazon prime to nougat, I am in compilation 139.64 and the update does not arrive, so I would like to do it manually, I already have the software ATHENE_AMZ_NPJS25.93-14-4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC but I would like to know how to do it I flash without losing my data and through fastboot or RDSlite if the method works. The equipment is original, bootloader locked and not root, it is like new, it just needs that little push to bring it to android 7.0.

Backup your data, use "Rescue and Smart Assistant Tool" rescue option to update to 7.0, restore data.
I can't post links, just google 'lenovo moto smart assistant for android"
