Moto X Force Nougat update via OTA - Droid Turbo 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody. I'm wondering whether it's safe to update a Moto X Force to official Motorola Android 7 via OTA. There are many posts here and there reporting many problems after updating, from unable to boot the phone to battery drain and performance drop.
I appreciate your comments.
Thanks in advance.

I received OTA today. Check screen shot.
Ota in europe?
I´m from Spain. All of you are from India, but is there any person who has recieved the ota from an EU country?
I'm also from Europe, Romania to be more precise and I did not receive any OTA notification. I spoke with an online assistant, asking when will we see an update for Europe versions. The answer was that there is no ETA for Europe but to check the update info page located here, which we probably already do on a regular basis with no success what so ever.
Is it same as the one recieved in soak test?
Hi,
I've updated my phone via a zip of soak test to android 5.0.2 and it says its up to date when I manually check for an update.
Also when I compared the uploaded screen shots to my phone, I didn't notice any change in the Kernel version or the System version. So in there anything extra they have patched in this version?
Please do tell if any one finds out.
Unlock Modes Unavailable :/
I Updated my Moto G 2nd Gen to Android 5.0.2 today . ( Via the official OTA update , i did not install during the soak test ) ... I am unable to find Face Unlock and Smart Unlock under the Security Options ... Can Anyone help me please ??

Here in the Netherlands still no sign of Lollipop :crying:. It takes too long and the RAM management bugs are killing me .
I bought a Motorola phone as they would provide good ROMs and fast updates. I've never been so wrong.
Here I also have a Samsung Galaxy S Plus with 400MB RAM running Lollipop CM12 5.0.2. It has no RAM issues.
Running Chrome? No problem m8. Running multiple apps opened in background like music, Play Store, Google Calendar, launcher. Not even a single app gets killed.
My S Plus from 2011 is more usable than my damned Moto G running KitKat (something dies inside me).

OTA Update came for Moto G 3rd gen 2015 3 new update.

Finally Motorola released the OTA update for Moto g 3rd gen with 3 different improvements .The size of OTA is 177.4 Mb.
1.Stagefright Fix
2.Add Night Mode to Camera
3.Bug fixes and Stability Improvements

What issues are those? I've seen very few reports of those types of issues with the 3rd gen. Obviously, those things happens to a small portion of users on almost every Android phone.
screen on time is decent, but could be better. I'd love to find a permissive kernel I could tweak...anyone up for it??
Im still running the release version firmware. Had night mode since release so i wonder apart from stagefright what the UK release will bring?
Does anyone have this as a flashable zip yet?

my personal experience with an 8gb model was a hot skillet in just 3 minutes on wifi or lte network plus doing some search i found a lot of users reporting the same issue so its not a very small percent it is a known issue maybe some users dont report it or dont care about it but it really gets hot. maybe some batchs maybe the 8gb model who knows!
every phone have small issues some related to hardware some related to software thats why i asked if the upgrade fix this one
but a phone that turns in to a hot skillet its not safe to use.

This OTA does not load itself if you have a custom recovery. To avail of this OTA the phone should have the STOCK recovery.
Unlocked bootloader does not matter, but being on STOCK recovery is must for the update to recognize the fingerprint and load the OTA.
After changing the custom recovery to STOCK recovery, phone is stuck at blank screen after the OTA update. Trying to figure out what to do.
Any suggestions?

I am surprised to notice that after the update the system has vanished and the booting process stops on a blank screen (with screen lit dimly).
No worry. Here is the solution. Flash STOCK firmware....

Here is the link for the procedure
http://www.gammerson.com/2015/08/how-to-flash-stock-firmware-of-Moto-g-3rd-gen.html
Can some one capture the OTA and make a custom rom flashable file?
Currently my phone is bricked. Will update later.

Hi, thank you.
Which stock rom did you use from the link? There are two there for the xt1550. I guess the one with the 23.72-47_cid7(Newer Build) is the one?
If you could elaborate what you did it would help others.

US carriers seem to be much slower pushing out updates. Since they mostly use foreign support it makes little sense. I work for the same company as my carrier, but different division and word I have is they aren't pushing out the update for this phone because the phone isn't in their list of devices yet. BTW, I'd be curious if anyone actually knows someone that got the stagefright bug. You have as big a chance to get struck by lightning as you are in getting stagefright. Anything with Kit Kat or later makes it almost impossible for stagefright to replicate on their phone.

The Moto G 3rd gen is sold in the US fully unlocked with no carrier branding. So the carriers don't push out the updates. Motorola generally pushes their updates to India first but the US usually comes soon after.

Marshmallow update rollout with unlocked bootloader

Hi all,
Hopefully I am asking in the right place here - it is my first question regarding the Moto X Style.
I got my phone at the end of last week. I decided to unlock the bootloader right from the off as it requires a full wipe. I see that people are seeing the Marshmallow update rolling out in Europe. My question is two fold really.
Firstly, should I receive the OTA update with an unlocked bootloader? Based on what I have read, it looks to me like I should get the update.
Secondly, what "decides" if the update is available to a given phone? When I check for a software update I get the message that the phone is up to date. I'm happy to wait a while but I am also curious how the update rolls out.
Just for extra info, the phone reports as an "XT1572" and the system version says "23.21.18.clark_reteu.reteu.en.EU reteu"
Thanks for any pointers

Thanks for that, I had seen and I will use the sideload method if I don't see the OTA update soon.
My curiosity is more about the mechanics of the OTA method and why my phone does not see an update when I tell it to go and check vs others already seeing it.

My device is a retfr and didn't receive the update while other users had it, so I just sideloaded it. The update seems to be universal for all eu devices.

Usually the rollouts are sent on batches and not all at once. I'm not sure if the criteria they use.

I'm thinking those of us on beta 7.1.1 may have to roll back to 7.0 to catch OTA but not sure. Good question.. I'm gonna roll back and try and force update, no luck for me thus far on beta 711.. I'll report back later..

Great news tnx a lot for this info
I got the stock 7.1.1 OTA yesterday it's running good.
Hit the check now button to check manually, even if it already did automatically you can find the update manually.
Do anyone know if stock nexus builds support f2fs, and if, for which partitions? (I've done some mild google'ing on the topic with no definite answers).
I'm on the beta still no OTA update even when checking it manually

Any word on the Bluetooth issue from DP1+DP2 going away?
I had the beta 7.1, and had not received the official OTA.
my wife also has a 5X, but on 7.0, she got the notification the day after I read that they were rolling it out "in the next few weeks"
so I updated hers, then un-enrolled my device and as soon as I restarted mine I got the notification for 7.1.1
So far life is good with it, nothing major
the 2 things I am most peeved about is no Daydream VR and still have the Google search bar front and center (figuratively)
I enrolled my Nexus 5X in the beta program and when I try to side load the official 7.1.1 release it gives me an error: "Can't install this package over newer build. Installation aborted". Is there any significant change taking about stability and battery from the DP2 and the official release? Thanks!
Got the update to stock 7.0 few days ago. This is the fastest I have ever received any android update.
Did not even check manually for updates as I was not expecting this to be available or few weeks!

Will i recieve future updates through OTA?

Hi, i have my Axon 7 (A2017G) for a month now. I got it from gearbest and it came with Marshmallow and no OTA. I updated to Nougat manually using update.zip metohod but i dont know if OTA works now. Can anyone clarify me on that? Thanks in advance

I haven't received any OTA with my phone bought from a local store, had to always do manual updates. I kinda hope that once updating to Oreo the OTA will work properly for me.
I don t expect there will be any more updates via OTA. It was prone to issues.
Enough people brick their phones trying to mod them without having official updates bricking them too.

The OTA system just doesn't work right. As long as you have stock recovery (i.e. you haven't installed TWRP) you will have OTA as broken as everyone else.
The OTA system usually works if you are on the latest version. so, stay on Nougat B09. In not too much time an update will pop up, it will be B10. That update will be the one that allows you to hop to Oreo once it's available (the oreo update should also appear via OTA later on)
Thanks for all your replies

what does that even mean? I don't know anyone who bricked their phones with an OTA. Not even by applying another model update manually, those just lose the signal
