Strangely in the initial update prompt (which I don't have a screenshot of unfortunately, so if someone has an XT1092 and can corroborate it would be much appreciated) it says Android 6.0.1 and not security update, but the Android version remains at 6.0 and by all accounts remains 6.0. The new emoji aren't supported either. Back in Lollipop I also got an update that says Android 5.0.2 but the version stayed at 5.0 after the update. Anyways, this update is 15MB and takes around 20 minutes to install, contrary to what Motorola says.
Also, really Motorola? MAY?! I'd be expecting you to roll out the QuadRooter (August/September) patch by now.
Hi,
thnx for the info.
Any suggestions if anyone is making update zip for twrp installation?

Hi, it downloaded the 15Mb update when I came back home. Do I lose root if I update ?

I think these official updates fail if you are rooted.... but if it succeeds i don't know if you retain root.
Again the RetGB variant being overlooked apparently. Spanish version got it and British version nothing...
Do anyone have some changelog for this security update? Does it fix Bluetooth issues (sometimes not routing audio via BT when connected to Nokia car kit)?

I was surprised and exited that there was an update to 6.0.1 for my XT1092, which would fix the bluetooth BLE issue. No screenshot unfortunately, but I clearly remember it stating "6.0.1", not just a security upgrade.
I've contacted Motorola UK support though their email (sic) contact form with below message:
Hello
This weekend I got a prompt on my phone (model XT1092) to upgrade to android 6.0.1.
I was happy about this upgrade because it solves a bug that prevented me from using bluetooth tracking devices [1].
However, after the upgrade the android version mentioned in the phone settings is still 6.0 and not "6.0.1" as expected. The only change I notice is that the "security patch" level is now May 1 2016.
Please confirm which version is actually is and/or if the specific bluetooth low-energy fix mentioned in link [1] is included.
Thanks

No OTA when rooted.
My MOTOX is rooted and has TWRP, so no OTA possible.
Any chance of this upgrade being downloadable somewhere alreadY?

I can confirm that notification says "New version: 24.201.3.en.EU" and "Android 6.0.1, Marshmallow".
OK, in OP there is a screenshot with 6.0 still. So no go for BT patch I think...
Screenshot Android 6.0.1 promt
They instead labeled this as the 6.0.1 update.
I tried to inform Motorola (lenovo) about it but it seems that it didn't came through, it was pretty hilarious:
Initial mail:
Subject: Software update labeled wrong
Dear Motorola,
This morning I received an software update saying that it would update my phone to Android 6.0.1 . This was not the case, it was merely the may security update (those are important to, don't get me wrong).
Response:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Motorola.
It is an official update form the Motorola end.So please update your device.
Me:
I did perform the update on my device, that was not my question/problem.
I meant to say that the update said it was 6.0.1 but it isn't. It updates the device to a new security patch, not form 6.0 to 6.0.1. This was probably not the intention (to say that it would update to 6.0.1) and I tried to attend you on this mistake.
Second response:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting Motorola.
After updating the security patch update you will receive the official update of 6.0.1
And then I gave up on the matter, it would have been pointless to go on.

I got this OTA update although I had root and TWRP. But to do a successful update I had to fully unroot in SuperSU and flash the stock recovery.img and the stock boot.img.
But before unrooting I copied the automatically downloaded update file from the /cache directory to my normal download directory, so I could reach it from the stock recovery menu. Therefore you need a root file explorer.
I than flashed the OTA update manually from the stock recovery using this instructions from reddit (but had to also flash boot.img as mentioned before):
4. Reboot into the bootloader, and then reflash stock recovery (download mentioned in step 1) with the command
"fastboot flash recovery 6.0_recovery.img"
5. Then reboot into recovery. From here, it will say "no command". Hold the power button and press the volume up key, then select apply patch from SD and choose the OTA you put on your internal memory. If all your system files are stock then this should run smoothly, if not, you might get a status error 7 and it will tell you which files are not stock. If you can, try to change them, but otherwise, you would need to download the stock files for 6.0 (you can also get them on the same link I suggested to get the stock recovery in step 1) and reflash everything to stock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After updating and checking that everything is fine I rooted again with TRWP, SuperSU-beta and this "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu" command.
As I cannot post links, you find the original instruction I used when you click on the first link after you googled "How To Root Moto G4 on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow androidcustomrom1"
The normal SuperSu without this SYSTEMLESS command did not work in my case.
Hope I could help somebody

May you tell the name of the post after searching "How To Root Moto G4 on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow androidcustomrom1" ?
or some clues,
smthg plz ?
I suppose this is for rooting again
I'm looking for the stock recovery.img and the stock boot.img.
May you tell what to search to obtain them plz ?
Thx
You can find the recovery.img and boot.img in any stock firmware.
I used one from this site because it had the same version as mine:
androidsage.com/2016/02/09/install-official-marshmallow-ota-for-moto-x-android-6-0-ota-capture/
When you google for "blur_version.24.11.18" (or the version you need) you will find a lot of firmwares to download.
You are right, the other post is just for rooting again, after you updated
OK, thx :good:

One word: Lenovo
Actually four words: Lenovo being an ass
Honor India released an update today for its KIW-L22 - B370.
Link - http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G79/g0/v67983/f1/full/update.zip
This update consists of
1. VoLTE bug fixes
2. RAM Management improvements.
3. Android Security Patches
How to update?
Prerequisites: You should be in the B360 in order to update this one.
Note: B360 was causing the bootloop for custom ROM. Since this is built over that this might also cause Bootloop.
So have a TWRP backup before updating to this one too.
This update can be flashed via TWRP. Forced update won't work.
You can update by following steps by @gopinaidu77 here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/guide-force-installing-stock-ota-t3502874
But you need to be Rooted for it.

anyway i downloaded the zip given, i dont understand y is that a flashable zip? it contains several patches and an update.app file..

I have tried with update.zip earlier in my Honor 7. So Update.zip works as per my knowledge.
However I'm not sure, as I have not tried it for this one Since I don't have KIW-L22.
I have KIW-L23 which is stuck at EMUI 3.

Nope. There is no way to update locally as in EMUi 3. So without ROOT, you can't.

Since lollipop there is no manual update option in huawei updater and even the huawei stock recovery has no or less interface which has no adb sideload option. This became a crunch to flash the update which your friend got and which u dont.
This Method is Universal for all huawei devices
In order to apply ota update using this method , root access is a major requirement so be sure your device is rooted.
If u had twrp recovery , at first flash SuperSu package to root your device (Try systemless root only) .
After successfull root ,flash stock recovery from twrp and reboot system.
Step 1:
In my case b370 is the last ota i found for kiw-l22 which vsriram92 posted here . Thanks to him for posting the update before 99% users got their update :good:
Download the relevant update package (ota) which you need a relevant base package to install it on . Ex: b360 as base for b370 update
step 2:
just remember the path where u downloaded the package . Install Flashify from playstore or From Here
Select Zip file which is the third option in flashify .
step 3 :
Navigate to the path where u downloaded ota package select the update.zip (ota package).
flashify starts downloading the package to its path asks you for root access .
Grand Su permissions , Select Cwm recovery if flashify asks as the next option.
Now the phone reboots to recovery and starts flashing.
After the ota update , your device will be unrooted . so take a backup of your stock recovery by following below guide.
Enable Usb debugging and connect ur phone to pc.
navigate to adb folder and place twrp.img or recovery.img in adb folder ,open command window from the same folder and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now type
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
or what_ever_its_name.img
now it temporarily boots twrp , take a backup of your stock recovery and then flash twrp for permanent install and then reroot ur device.
Happy flashing :laugh::good:
it gets zip signature verification failed....the method is similar to installing the zip file directly from the recovery but that doesn't work unless zip signature is verified

Nope. It was there in EMUI 3 previously. Now, we can't unless it has only update.app.
so b370 is only for the ones who gave root access to their phones?

Hello together, I tried flashing the B360 update for my L21 with this method but unfortunately I did not succeed. I followed every step but when flashify reboots to the stock recovery nothing happens. Just nothing.

Any suggestions how to get it to work?

Are you on B350D0003 or some earlier firmware? I'm on stock B350, just rooted with Magisk+phh's superuser, and it doesn't want to flash that big file at all; tried flashing OTA update (200MB file) and it failed at 80%, causing a damn bootloop. Gah, I thought my old phone was pain in the ass...

I'm on B350D003. After I tried the OTA instead of the full package I came across the same problem with the stock recovery, but when flashing it from TWRP it did flash it, but exited with an error.
No bootloop but as a file was missing for the full update process wifi (and probably bluetooth) are not working.
If you are interrested to solve it, have a look here. It looks like there is a way to fix the problem and we are currently investigating.

TBH, I'm on a verge to start building LOS or PAC/Slim/whatever is properly maintained and fast for my own needs and ditch EMUI completely....
I'm searching for other firmwares now via FirmwareFinder, there is a probability that one is a leaked test or something like that, because it simply doesn't want to flash. If I find out something, I'll continue on thread you've linked, to avoid flooding this one.
Hi. Thanks for your guide.

Top right download full update it'll download once you hit that and remove the proxy but it won't get authorized when you go to install it.
Well the good news I see out of this even if we cannot install is that the update is finally coming after 2 months of the other versions enjoying it for that long. Hopefully it fixes the battery drain.

Likely you'd push both update.zip and the region specific zip to where the stock recovery is expecting, then from a powered-off state use the key combinations to force-udpate. I'm unsure why there are 3 zips this time though since B360 was only 2 zips, I haven't had time yet to look at the contents.

I tried.
I think you have to extract the update.app and do the update via recovery....if I remember correctly. I'd do it now but no USB-C cable here at work...

In theory, we could also just extract the recovery.img, system.img and vendor.img and flash via fastboot.....or no? I know that's generally the way I've flashed things on my Shield TV

Just tried that too, boot, recovery, and system will flash but vendor fails. When I load to the system it still shows B360 but certain parts of the OS don't work -- can't access Developer Options, for example. It seems as if this package just doesn't work right.
Update: If anybody else wants to attempt it, remove all PIN/password protection first. I had to factory reset.

Of note is that the 72309 firmware (B360) zips can be flashed from TWRP with no issue. This zip however fails to install.
Things I tried which failed:
Unpacking UPDATE.APP and force-updating from /external_sd/dload/ folder
Flashing extracted images from bootloader*
Modifying updater-script and flashing in TWRP (mountencrypt was throwing an error, others too)
Updating updater-script and update-binary and flashing in TWRP (same errors)
Flashing images from bootloader, boot and system worked but vendor failed, but the device did boot. It didn't, however, show the new software version -- but that may be because the software version is read from the vendor partition which wouldn't flash. In any event, flashing this way the device was unstable. I couldn't set a screen PIN and Developer Options would crash the Settings menu when I attempted to access it.
Someone more skilled than me would need to extract the contents of all 3 zips and make one TWRP-flashable zip.

There's a 1.9gb OTA on firmware finder...I'd download it here at work but the internet is too slow, it'd take hours.
I've just captured the Official OPP28.85-16 OTA for retail cedric and I'm posting it here. I'm on retbr channel but this will work on any retail device. If you're on another updated channel, I don't know what would happen if you installed this.
Notice that to install this YOU MUST be on NPPS25.137-93-2-5 to install these, since OTA's are not full firmwares like fastboot files, but instead they're patchings tailored to be applied upon a specific firmare - NPPS25.137-93-2-5 in this case.
Another particular detail is that the OTA file (gotten directly from my credric) lists the Blur Version as Blur_Version.25.361.10.cedric.retail.en.US, but curiously, the fastboot version for the same firmware ( which you can download here) lists it as Blur_Version.28.41.15.cedric.retail.en.US
Someone also reported in another thread that they just sideloaded this upon the Second Soak test. I wouldn't doubt it since this is what should happen to regular soak testers, but if you do it, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK
I also won't post instructions on how to install this since they're already available here

That's it.
changelog?
Has anyone already tried it?
Since this is a (Delta) OTA Update that expects NPPS25.137-93-2-5 (Blur_Version.25.361.10) it should be correctly named "block_delta-ota-Blur_Version.25.361.10-28.41.15.cedric.retail.en.US" in my view.

I'm on the 2nd soak test update OPP28.85-13.
Just tried to flash the update from SD card and ADB sideload.
Update failed due to wrong version.
E3002: Package expects build thumbprint of 8.1.0/OPP28.85-16/0400:user/release-keys or 7.0/NPPS25.137-93-2-5/10:user/release-keys; this device has 8.1.0/OPP28.85-13/789a:user/release-keys.

seems like it can be updated. from. soak test then, but I never heard nor did I find anything about OPP25. 85-16 build. maybe there was a third soak test and we don't know about it
Works perfect
Hi,
i used the above Image in Germany and i am now on Oreo 8.1
Everything works perfect. First i had a little bit trouble due to an old Version of ADB Tools, but after Update ADB to current Version the Update to Oreo took something around 30min.

Update fails from OPP28.85-13 since it expects either OPP28.85-16 which is the latest Oreo build (that I want to update to) or the latest Nougat NPPS25.137-93-2-5.
There is no OPP25. 85-16 build! I think you misread the error message.
BTW I updated from OPP28.85-13 to -16 using the full fastboot version and it worked out perfectly.

yeah, I actually misread it, now I see it.
Anyways, flashing it from fastboot doesn't prove anything. but seems like Cedric can be upgraded from the soak test to final version using this ota. Idk because I used fastboot myself too, since I had already modified my system partition.

how is speaker quality in this build ?
because there is some issues in previous oreo builds
Speaker
Hi,
i would say that for my ears the speaker sounds better than it was with Nougat.
After a few days of testing everything works really good and i have not found anything not working or any problems.

how do you get back to NPPS25.137-93-2-5
I followed the steps from this Thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/stock-upgrade-to-official-stock-oreo-8-t3823598
- Unlocked bootloader (don't know of this is necessary)
- back to NPPS25.137-93-2-5 via the commands from the thread i linked (without the lines:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
)
- via ADB sideload with the Oreo download from this thread to Oreo.

if you have an unlocked bootloader download NPPS25.137-93-2-5 Flashable Zip here and flash it with twrp

to flash official Motorola files there's no need to unlock the bootloader.
you've just unnecessarily voided your warranty
@freeZbies
Hey is that twrp stock rom (137-93-2-5) the only thing we need to flash before going for the ota ? Cause I've been told that we needed to be on a completely unmodified system partition in order to receive the ota. In that case just flashing twrp stock wouldn't be sufficient right?

I dont know if the twrp version would be valid. To apply an OTA, your system must matchbit by bit, so the most guaranteed way is to flash that firmware via fastboot, but you could try flashing the twrp version, and in case it works, you could post the results here.
just dont forget that if the ota fails youll soft brick ur phonr and will only be able to recover it via fastboot

Thanks I'll keep that in mind
Being soft bricked,, wouldn't I be able to use twrp still? Like to flash a valid rom or one of my backups?
Anyways I can't really try it that way since the update hasn't come to me yet I'm on software channel Retca.
Edit : right I forgot that I could just use the official ota available here if I would like to test it.

being soft bricked doesnt necessarily mean you can recover it through twrp. OTA's are different of twrp flashables in that it modifies things beyond system partition. I've seen reports from people with other motorola devices who applied an OTA while having a modified system partition, and even though they were able to boot to twrp, flashing a custom Rom or restore a backup wouldn't make the phone boot. Their phones weren't hard bricked, but still they had to fastboot to recover their phones. Anyways, why don't you flash the Twrp flashable if, it's already available (considering you have an unlocked bootloader).
I'm case you have a locked bootloader you may fastboot without executing "fastboot erase userdata" in case you want to try. I did it without losing my data (although I was already in Opp 28.85-16)
but after all I really advice you to flash the twrp zip if u can
