I've heard that Motorola planned to release it in the Fall, and now it's Winter. I've also heard that the update was ready and they were waiting for Verizon to push it out. Does anyone know what's going on? The Moto Z2 Force already got Oreo, so I can't imagine a reason that the original doesn't have it yet.
X4, Z, Z play, Z2 force and Z2 play have oreo/soak tests availble.
The remaining are the original Z force (probably comong before the month ends) and the rest of the G5 family.

Great news
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Yes, great news, but I'm still disappointed in Motorola and/or Verizon. When I bought this phone, it was the Moto flagship. I figured that would mean priority in getting updates. Instead, another "flagship" came out and the Z Force was pushed down to the bottom of the barrel.
I'm also interested to see what kind of crapware Verizon will bake into this release. One of the security updates last year was an opportunity for Verizon to push an app called AppFlash. It wreaked havoc on battery life and was widely reviled. Of course, it could not be uninstalled, merely disabled. A subsequent security update removed the app. I suppose there were a lot of upset customers!
So... Did someone received the oreo update??. I have a verizon moto z force droid but it says already updated at last system (7.1.1???)

I've never heard of anyone suggesting a fall 2017 release, but I do believe that there have been at least one round of MFN soaks on the Z Force in different regions. They just posted the confirmation about a week ago that the Z Force will be getting Oero, so I would expect this to happen within the next 30 to 60 days.

We are thrilled to start delivering on that promise early. Starting today, we are rolling out Android 4.4.2 to Moto G phones bought on Motorola.com or Amazon.com in the U.S. KitKat will come to other Moto G carriers and regions soon as well.

They're doing a super job. In the little time I've had this, I've really noticed the little things such as their Xmas boot animation. I'm aware that some don't like it, but I think most will like the little touch of 'class'. Personally, I'd like to see them really surprise me with a Superbowl or BCS bowl animation but I recognize that will only appeal to a few.

So I guess that still means January for the non-US models. Not sure why Motorola has shifted attention to the US so much in recent weeks after the initial launch, but I suppose we'll have to see how this all pans out.

Heh I'm not worried, everything always comes in time ... Motorola obviously didn't launch the phone in the US and I'm just interested in the turnaround since then from the planned US launch in January. It's been a bit irritating to see all the 16GB stock suddenly appear in the US when it's been hard to get any in the UK, not to mention accessories ... anyway, off-topic.

...I haven't installed the update yet because once I do, it won't be retrievable. I'm looking for a way to extract it from the phone, but the phone has no root, ergo, I can't reach the /cache folder.

Now it’s important to note that while the update is for both the global and US GSM variants of the Moto G, the rollout is more than likely to occur in various stages. In other words, it could take some time before it reaches all Moto G owners.

Patience, guys. The rollout is happening in phases, and for now only 1% of two specific sales channels get the update. They are the guinea pigs, so to speak. Once everything is fine, the update will be approved for more users.

If Dolphin browser had the ability to block apps then I wouldn't have a problem updating to 4.4.2 as I know you can get flash to work with Dolphin, so it's 4.3 for me.

There is no way they are updating the Droids to Lollipop before last year's Moto X or the Turbo.
If I were a betting man, I'd bet it is some sort of minor bug fix update for VoLTE or something. Maybe an update to add full Moto Voice stuff?
Maybe they can make the phone not sound like crap/cut out on 50% or more of calls?

I checked for it earlier when I heard about it and installed it. September security update but not sure anything else with it.
I got the notice but have not installed it yet.
I installed it earlier after seeing many on another site that did so. it's a little bit over 100 megabytes so it's probably not much more that the actual security update.
September Security Update haven't seen anything else yet.
