What steps did you followed?

Works good?

Anybody know if it fixes the microphone volume issue?

It does fix the mic volume issue. I was told so by the first person I had a call with after the update.

Benchmarks with March patch
Brightness 0%
No case
Room temp 26-27c

After march update, not show Recent apps on stock rom, shows all apps is clear... do you have such a problem? :/

This happens from time to time on all stock Pie builds. Simple reboot usually restores this features and all recent apps.

After March security update I don't have voLTE (HD icon missed) Any ideas?

Works perfect guys, no major issues for now, the basics works just fine......will update

New stock firmware available (24.221.8)

Hi all.
I just noticed there's new firmware. Has anyone updated yet? In using an XT1572.
I'm rooted etc... So I can't quite simply update.
Should I be flashing the last stock firmware i have and then update? The last fastboot I have is the February patch, but my phone is on the May patch. Whatever firmware i flashed gives me another language in the update notification screen...lol.
Any guidance would be appreciated. Otherwise, I'll just do my thing blindly.

After your post, I rechecked the update service on my phone (xt1572 also). I got also new update here, but right now I cant do update (rooted + xposed). WIll try later, but I suppose that there is just new security patch. Strange that I got another version..
EDIT:
fount out Motowebpage
it look like the only improvements are - September security patch there.
Is the update for India dual sim xt1572?
I've installed the update today. The download size was about 40 MB, so seems to be a small patch indeed. I can confirm that it contains the september security patch, haven't noticed anything else yet.
I do think it's a shame that Moto is lacking so much in the update department lately. This is a security patch of two months ago... Also I would have expected them to have news on Nougat by now, at least for their Moto Z family...
6.0.1 ? at the time of 7.0?

it's not 6.0.1 update it's only security patch, we already had 6.0.1 in eu for a while
Has someone already tried the update with Flashfire? Im Rooted, on Frankenclark and Xposed. Does anyone know if we can get a flashable zip to flash in TWRP? To much work to go back to Stock, update and install everything again. Is the patch it worth?
Sent from my XT1572 using XDA-Developers mobile app
can someone upload full firmware for retasia? thx
We have to wait for Moto to release/leak the firmware image, the OTA zip won't do any good... This usually takes 2-4 weeks, sometimes more, to get the factory image. Be patient.
BTW, it is nothing special, all it does is patch to the Sept 1, 2016, security update, including Dirty Cow (which if you have been following the security threads is pretty much worthless on Lollipop and newer devices anyway)

B182 officially released

Huawei just pushed B182 to my C432. On German and Portuguese SIMs.
Security patch dated 5 April 2017.
Well, I guess I will receive it shortly after you guys on my Dutch Sim.
Just don't get it why I takes so long for the c432 models to get the updates.
To bad the change log is old. 6x zoom? It's already at 10.
I get the update last night :good:
Please can anyone confirms that in the network setting the "network aggregation" and "Volte" setting are not available? It seems that are now managed automatically.
Updated through firmware finder successfully. No obvious changes so far.

Don't see it there. Carrier aggregation is gone, it seems.

Hopefully the L09_C432 UK model will get update soon too!
It is embarrassing to have latest flagship phone stuck on January 2017 security patch, when 3 years older phones such as the Galaxy S5 and Xperia Z3+ are on March 2017 security patch.
Does anyone know if the newer software have better lockscreen music/audio widget control support?
I'm using Pocket Casts; Audible, and USB audio player. All don't have widget control on lockscreen in B156 build.
+1 Bigmille you're completly right and it's incomprehensible from a company like Huawei, apparently they don't care of their customers security, i'm still too stuck to 156 in France, i'm checking daily ...

Volte is there for activation on my phone
So did you guys get the 172 before this update? Since I am still stuck on the 156 since February. I can see with firmware updater that 172 got out in March, but I cannot install it.
e. ok, now I checked the pictures. Apparently skipped totally 172..

Beginning to wonder if I made a wise choice getting this phone!
Sent from my MHA-L09 using XDA Free mobile app
I got 182 in Bosnia
I received the MHA-L29C432B182 update today via OTA. I am in Sweden and have a mobile phone from Germany with a Swedish sim card.

German DBT here, still nothing... first thought because of the Oreo Update, but this will take some time
a turkish site says, it will come on april 13th. I'm not allowed to post links here
In Italy two carriers released an update with security patches updated at 1 February and small tweakes like working Samsung Pay (in Italy) and updated Weather widgets (S8 style)
Im from Puerto Rico and nothing after January update too.
What the hell is happening? Almost everyone got the february update and DBT nothing yet.
I know... I've seen it on sammobile. Almost every little country get the February update... And no DBT. Would be a dream, if we get Oreo with March Security update first.
Still nothing for DBT... This is starting to look like we are going to get Oreo first(with March security patch).
Released today the update with the March security patch for the international version

Totally agree with you. I hope the Oreo update won't take long to come on our devices.
Well I have been using phone since I got the February update and except new weather widget (like on s8) I didn't notice any cosmetic changes. But I can tell that (for me) phone works more fluid and faster than before.
March Update
Just received March update on G935F UK unlocked
Hi, I do confirm same update for polish XEO version - 1st March security applied
Got March this morning on DBT.

How to check if the phone is actually a global version

I just got this phone.
I noticed 4g issues, as if it was missing the 800mhz band (which is a common thing among chinese versions).
Is there any way to check if the phone is actually a global version?
i tried https://www.mi.com/global/verify/#/en/tab/imei but it doesn't accept the imei but i suspect this site is only for xiaomi imeis (could someone double check and let me know?)
Thank you
Does your phone also have the update issue where it cannot update to the newest firmware?
Asking because mine and others do on there official forums and they all seemed to ship from Poland.

Mine shipped from Poland as well but I had no update problems. Came with security patch February 2019 and was easily upgradeable to patch level March 2019 via OTA

Update???

I received an update for my yoga tab 2 days ago. Strange considering I was already running Android 7.1
The update was about 1.6GB and installed without a problem.... My only question is...... What did it DO/FIX???
Anyone know?

Knowing anything about the update I do not! But I want to confirm:
Yesterday, on April 19th 2020, I recieved and downloaded and obviously successfully installed a new update.
My build number now is "YT-X703L_S120015_200317_ROW". Still Android 7.1.1, security patch level 01 May 2018.
Sadly I didn't check the number before the update ...
Exactly

It's odd to receive an update that doesn't include A RECENT security patch. The not said "but fixes" but didn't give any details and had no new features.... So I'm questioning why the update was rather large if it only had a few bug fixes
Received an update notification, but reluctant to install. Do you have any issues or battery drainage after update? Is it stable? Is there a change log available? Can't find any info abou this on other forums.
Nope

Performance is about the same.... Maybe a little snappier than before. Battery seems a little worse but that may be the 2 year old battery degrading. Other than that I can't tell any difference.
