while i cannot say what is new (not having an 1050L tab) i did downloaded and checked inside
this is what he does:
1. writes on ESP a new x64 bootloader
2. writes a new boot image
3. writes a new fastboot image
4. updates the bios with a new capsule (and by the size it writes over all the bios region)
5. writes a completely new system image (however it does it by using the patching way, even more using the block-update)
all in all excepting your data partition (where you have your personal data/preferences and the apps you personally installed) it will do a fresh new install of everything
problems one could have:
1. obviously if you had an unlocked bootloader you will need to flash back again
2. if the bios updates also the security part it's possible that you will no longer be able to use the unlocked bootloader
3. the new system is wrote by block patch (they could have wrote by flashing method) and this means you can have problems if you modified it (ie mounted at some point and changes something on it) by rooting or something else
on the bright side now someone could build a 'stock' rom for this model using this ota (so you can flash lollipop stock rom from lenovo and even a recent one by means now known)
So is it still 5.0 and not 5.1? Seems excessive for a bug fix build.
10x, i have stock not rooted not modified.
its 99%, i will write today if android version will be changed.
its 02:22 am on my clock and i must sleep tomorrow i will check what will be changed.

some props extracted from the build.properties in the new system image
ro.build.version.incremental=YT2-1050L_USR_S100192_1511191319_WW52_ROW
ro.build.version.release=5.0.1
ro.build.version.security_patch=2015-12-01
ro.product.ota.model=YOGATablet2-1050L
ro.product.name=YT2_10_row_lte
so no, it's still 5.0
it's big but it's also lenovo , joke aside this way it's better than incremental patches and it also gives you basically a stock rom (well first someone should compile it)
Ahh right, just stagefright patches then no doubt.
Yeap, its still 5.0.1
We recommend not to upgrade if you want to change?
i didnt find something changed. but i think the overall performance is increased and it better gets wifi signal...
They fixed also the new user problem
Now u can add new user or switch to the guest mode
Is there anyone noticed anything else?
Is the bios now is x64?
Has anyone received an update for the 1050F model?
firmware update 1050L not possible
Every time I try to install this update, which comes up every day, I get the message that my SD-Card is making problems.
But even if I officially unlink the SD-Card and take it off, the error message stays the same and I can't update.
How can I solve this problem?
Does anyone knows where can I download this firmware? YT2-1050L_USR_S100192_1511191319_WW52_ROW
I have a non-rooted XT 1575, that had a sim card issue that gives me the 'No Command' message after trying to install the System Update (24.221.8.en.US). I had a friends son restore it by reloading 24.49-18-4. It seemed to work ok, then I received a notice to do the system update again (24.221.8.en.US).
Before doing this, I spoke with his son who assured me that it should be ok to do and go ahead and do it, even though the software says "modified". I tried installing the update and it did the same 'No Command' b.s. as before. I was able to get it to reload the 24.49.18-4, but the software status still says modified, and I am getting this dang update notice again. I also unlocked the bootloader at this point.
It is my understanding from what I have read on this forum that as long as the software status says "modified", that I will be unable to accept any updates. Is this correct? And the bootloader status is irrelevant as far as updates?
All I want is to restore this thing back to stock so it can accept updates. I am not interested in rooting. After reading the forum I am not sure how to proceed, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
My phones info;

System Version: 24.221.4.clark_retus.retus.en.US.retus
Build Number: MPHS24.49-18-4
The pending update: New version:24.221.8.en.US
Thank you.
u need to flash official factory image inorder to get the updates
i hardly recommend you to use fastboot and install stock firmware from this site
https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto X Pure (XT1575)/Stock/
if your system is modified then you might get updates but if u install them then you will end up in a bootloop or we can called it as softbrick...
install the latest firmware and then check for updates
if u have any queries then go through this.... make sure that u don't mess up

If I understand your post correctly, and the COMPLETE firmware image was flashed, then you should have no issues taking an OTA update... the status of modified and bootloader lock/unlock is not relevant. The update should just work, the fact it doesn't means something is still modified or the cache is corrupt.
Try this, before you accept and download the update, boot into stock recovery and wipe cache. Or better yet, do a full factory reset and accept the update and apply it, then let it boot fully, do another factory reset and then set it up clean.
I don't know why this happens... it just seems like a few every update won't take it no matter what we do, and for we do not have the latest full factory image yet so there isn't much we can do to find another way.
Thank you both for your reply. However, I am still not clear on something.... there seems to be confusing/conflicting advice regarding the Software "Modified" status and it's role in accepting updates.
1. "if your system is modified then you might get updates but if u install them then you will end up in a bootloop or we can called it as softbrick..."
2. " the status of modified and bootloader lock/unlock is not relevant. The update should just work, the fact it doesn't means something is still modified or the cache is corrupt."....... If the Software status says "modified" doesn't that mean that the system is indeed modified, and that trying to load the OTA in this state will result in a bootloop? .
u neee to flash official firmware.... the only way to remove modified and change it to official....
it actually doesn't matter that if bootloader is unlock u can install the updates...... i was on may patch and i also wanted to change the software status from modified to official in order to get sept patch... but in moto firmware center the latest was feb 2016.... so i had to downgrade... i tried and it worked... then i was eligible for ota and yes im on sept patch

Software status "modified" cant cange to official.. After factory img flashing is status still modified! Its no problem for OTA is the system stock will it work
OTA work with 100% Stock System incl recovery
(bootloader say still modified)
OTA work with unlock bootloader
Here is the new factory img

Why don't you just flash a custom rom? I mean if your bootloader is already unlocked....

I disagree... it CAN go back to Official, I had several ROMs on my device, then flashed stock image and somehow mine went back to Official. Was mine a fluke? I don't know, but it is clearly Official now. Note the picture clearly shows the bootloader was unlocked (Status 2) and I had at least dozen different ROMs flashed over time before going back to stock using the May 2016 security image and then successfully OTAing up to October security update.
OP, I think we are getting caught up in the software status saying "Modified" which is of no consequence, and the device actually being modified meaning something is not stock... it's a semantics thing that I believe is confusing. The software status isn't relevant, it could say HACKED for all we care (and no, I don't think there is such a thing), but it's whether the device is REALLY stock or not.
I know what you mean. My Software status is with LineageOS "official" i can flash every rom an the status stuck in official.
Factory img is no warranty for official status but also makes no difference for ota

Because I am new to all of this and don't know anything about custom Roms. All I want to do is get this thing back to stock.

Wow, thanks everyone for the suggestions and patience!
OK, so the software status does not affect OTA update installation. Software status being modified does not necessarily mean that the SYSTEM is modified. Yet if the SYSTEM is modified then taking the OTA update will cause a softbrick.
How can I tell if my SYSTEM is modified before deciding on taking the OTA update?
I have had the official Motorola firmware flashed/reinstalled previously by friend's son, and that didn't take the OTA update. It caused soft brick (No Command error bootloop)
I then went to the Motorola site myself, downloaded the firmware and flashed/reinstalled it. This is where I am currently, trying to decide if I should take the update or put it off until I have a couple of hours free to troubleshoot in case the OTA softbricks this thing again (it takes me much, much longer to figure this stuff out than it does for you guys. )
And if that does soft brick it again, then I am not sure what I am doing wrong with the flashing. So, is there any way for me to check to see if the SYSTEM is modified before I try the update.? Thank you!

Status modified will change to official after an OTA update.

Update will check system bevor it start, Is your system not 100% original will update cancel automatically.
You can not see if it is modified

I don't understand what you are saying. I cannot see "what" if it is modified? Edited - removed earlier rant.
(Sorry)
SOLVED.....
Today I backed everything up, bit my lip and hit "install update". It did update the phone and it did change the software status to "Official". I did this with the bootloader unlocked, and it worked . It does say Status Code 3, and the bootloader unlocked warning screen on startup appears, both of these I am guessing is normal. Everything seems good.
I know when flashing, firmware updates can be 1Gb - 2Gb file sizes. When you take that same update OTA, do they send down the entire firmware file, or just the sections that need updating? This 910V is the first phone I have never rooted, and have never taken an OTA update. When I bought it, it was on 5.0. I downloaded the CQC1 firmware and installed it updating it to 6.0, via Odin. It tried to update itself immediately after I rebooted. I disabled the updater until I did some homework, as the thing was relentless about updating and driving me crazy. I see now there is CQD1, CQE1, and CQF2 available. My problem is, I have a crap internet connection (1.5Mb) and am wondering if it has to download that hug file anyway OTA, if I wouldnt be better downloading it myself and installing it via Odin.... rather than an OTA update that gives me no info on progress etc....?
So:
1) OTA or download and install it/them myself
2) If installing myself, Where is the best place to download the huge file, without having to sign up or be throttled?
3) Is there anything in these newer updates that warrant updating, or any problems that arise from them? Or is it wise to just stay on CQC1 which is working without a hitch?
Thanks for any help.
Hello,
If there would be anybody who could help me in my problem I would be very grateful!
I was a happy nougat b.09 user when I tried to upgrade the phone to newest android, I installed Oreo B.04 and the phone got much slower, now tends to stutter on web browser and the battery life jumps like crazy. I went on for few weeks but now I can't take it anymore, I want to downgrade to Nougat, probably to B.12, but when I put either N-b.12 or N-FOTA-B10 to B12 from the download center thread into my sd card and rename it to update.zip, the phone still doesnt see it and I cant downgrade.
Is there a safe way to downgrade phone without root or risk of loosing data?
Btw. when I was upgrading the system few weeks ago i went form Nougat.b09 to nougat.b12 then oreo.b02, then unfortunately i downloaded nougatb.04 (mistaken it for oreo) and downgraded phone to it, repeated the process to get oreo.b04 - maybe this process made my phone slower? (but seems unlikely).
The accidental downgrade to N B04 is likely the big issue.
I would try flashing oreo B02, factory reset then flash the downgrade version of Nougat B12, not the regular one but this may actually be a case of needing an ADB connection or similar to reflash it with correct partitioning so I will defer to more experienced modders on this.
If you are on B04 Oreo right now, download the B12 package from a official ZTE source (ZTE Australia has the link for it). Same thing, rename to update.zip and put it in root for SD. If phone still doesn't detect, boot to recovery (power+volume up button), select the wipe/erase all data option first, select yes. After that, select Apply update from SD card then select the update.zip. package. Probably do another data and cache wipe just in case after its installed
I have an A2017U but since changing from stock rom B35 to B01, I have lost all sim card and phone functions. I've tried all these - B05, B15, B10, B35, B20,, B19, but all firmwares are identified as "not for this machine" error, and all relevant apps and "About Phone" information now indentifies the model as A2017G, which it certainly isn't. Is there a rollback set of firmwares I could use to regain mobile network functions back to this phone. Firmware installed is B01, and when I bought the phone it had B35 installed. I don't have a PC just mac, so all those nifty workarounds, I can't do.
Please Help

Hello,
Assuming you have stock recovery, you can get ZTE_A2017UV1.1.0B35 firmware here:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/zte-axon-7-stock-firmware-collections/
Normally the download file should be a zip, unzip it, you will find update.zip file. Put update.zip on the root
of your SD card. Then go to Phone Settings, search for update, it should tell you your current phone version
and the update it finds and suggests. Then tap on update : it will update for you then reboot automatically. First reboot
should be a little long (< 5 min). Then you should be back all right to B35 and phone OK since the right modem for A2017U is included
in the ZTE_A2017UV1.1.0B35 firmware.
Note : I guess you have applied incorrect A2017G firmware to your A2017U, this would explain the phone problem (incorrect modem).
Fixed!

I used B03 stock room and still had no phone functions, then I did another SD Card update with the B20 and it worked, I have all the phone functions back and am on the latest stock Oreo build too, I'm so glad to get it back, as I was using a spare Android phone on version 5, it was so slow, but it's fixed now.

The key part of the method was to remove the Google account before updating in recovery mode
