any news on Nougat for xt1622?

Waiting nougat on xt1622 for ages. I have twrp and rooted. Use this phone daily so don't want to mess it up. Trying to avoid flashing too frequently. Any news ?

still waiting in europe....

So much for start of year rollout. Its like owning a HTC all over again.

Some folks on Lenovo forums have said they have got the update today on the reteu channel as OTA. Moto Germany says that is a soak test, but apparently in Spain some who were not part of the Motorola Feedback Network also have got it..

Hello,
I can confirm that I received the OTA update on my XT1622 yesterday evening after a manual update check. (bought and used in France).
I'm not part of any feedback network either.
At first glance the device seems to be quicker than on MM.
Build N° is NPJ25.93-14

Any news of 7.0 on motog4 amazon prime?

xt1621 on Mexico is getting 7.0 today thru OTA

I can confirm the OTA-update in germany since 28.02. XT 1622.
No problems till now. I haven't resetted the phone.

Just downloading the update now in the UK.

Downloading and installing Nougat for Moto G4 right now here in the UK (8.15am)

Dropped for me too UK. Unable to install yet as it needs wifi.

Interesting.
I am on retgb and have had nothing all day.
If one of the 'chosen ones' could upload the file to sharing site it might be useful.
BTW I know I can't install it with a non-stock recovery, but surely that wouldn't stop the download being offered to me? Or would it?

Hows the battery life guys ?

În România IT is available but battery live IT is worst than in 6.01, RAM consuption is huge and some Times i have lag....

Hi all,
I received yesterday the update for 7.0
My phone is a xt1622.
I've bought it at Amazon.es (carrier free) and I'm using the phone in Portugal.

Got it on Friday, xt1642 reteu.
Battery is fine, phone feels faster . No issues so far.
Only annoying is the loud start up sound.

Settings -> Sound -> Power up sound
(if you're German you might miss it, the option is mistranslated as "Sound einschalten")

Firmwares with the ending 92-x are for India and Brazil, ending on 93-x for Europe, US and Asia Pacific.
For Europe/US the latest firmware is 93-10 (April security patch).
The latest one I found uploaded is 93-4. The same for India, 92-4 is uploaded.

Maybe that's why my device got screwed? Because I flashed EU firmware 93-4 on an Indian Variant? I think NOT

A lot of people did. Maybe that's causing problems, I only know that you can't receive OTA's anymore.
The devices should work as expected but what happens if you flash a custom ROM and go back to stock (maybe another build?)I don't know but it's possible that all this voLTE and IMEI losing stuff is related to it.

That's what happens when there's multiple variants of the same phone and no one properly labels the firmware or provides specifications. I've done it, got back to stock with a locked bootloader and recovered IMEI. OTA updates installed with no issues but left with stuck with IMEI 0 again. Anyone in this situation who failed to make an initial backup with EFS or lost that backup is screwed. At this point you're best option is to stick with a stable Oreo ROM. We're getting better support from devs while Lenovo leaves us in the dark.

amazon firmware

Hello everybody. I just wanted to know if someone has an official firmware for the amazon channel NPNS25.137-93-8. Because I can not find it myself. Required to lock bootloader

As the Amazon firmware was unlockable until a few days ago there is no special firmware uploaded.
But I'm not sure that you can't flash the standard firmware or maybe the builds are identical. Unfortunately there is no NPNS25.137-93-8 firmware uploaded atm but there is a NPNS25.137-93-10 build (april security patch):https://drive.google.com/open?id=16Bfp3nVfvKMURAeKagOaOImX-lvJrYBF
As I said, I'm not sure if the firmwares are similar so if you flash it you do it at your own risk.

browsing the files. The difference is only OEM partition. What is it for?

It's a kind of manufacturer storage:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/cr...on-general/observation-oem-partition-t3189677
All changes the manufacturer does are stored in OEM.
So if you flash a standard firmware the device may change to a standard retail device too.
But this is a bit over my knowledge about firmwares, maybe some of the pro's could have a look into it.

If you flash the complete NPNS25.137-93-10 firmware via fastboot (as there is no 93-8 available and downgrading could hardbrick your device) it should work like this. It's the same hardware after all.
But there is always a risk in crossflashing (if this is crossflashing at all), maybe Amazon has built in some kind of security feature.
But as far as I understand the whole thing the Amazon version is just a normal Moto G5+ with some changes made in the oem partition.
If you flash the 93-10 firmware all traces should be overwritten and you should be in the standard reteu channel and be able to receive OTA for it.
But remember, you do everything at your own risk.
Maybe you can contact someone who owns a Amazon build too, here is a thread about it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/help/resolved-root-moto-g5-plus-amazon-t3652932
Edit: After unlocking your device it is wiped.
Did you recognise the difference of the oem partition before or after the wipe?

OEM is changing the size of various software versions of the same update channel. Can this be helpful?

I think that depends OTA updates. For example: Some users flashed a 92-x firmware on their european/us (reteu,retus)device. This firmware is made for India and South America (retin,retbra).
Their devices are still working completely but they don't get any OTA anymore. The devices still say reteu but the OTA server is looking for a 93-x firmware which is not present. I think these users can return to their software channel by flashing a 93-x firmware.
As you are going to flash a 93-x on a device running a 93-x firmware you should be good to go.
The only uncertainty is if Amazon has done anything that signs your device as "Amazon prime" even after flashing a whole new firmware.
The result would be no OTA. But I don't think so, even if that may be technically possible.
We all won't be sure until someone with a Amazon device tries it.

LG V20 T Mobile Mobile Data Not Working after Update

Hi Please help me, i upgraded my OS to Oreo, and after that, i can recieve calls and messages but when im turning on my mobile data, it doesnt work. My APN is correct, any help
Thanks

And when did T-Mobile release Oreo for the H918?
From their support site:
Software version: Android 8.0 Oreo
Phase: Manufacturer Development
T-Mobile and the device manufacturer have agreed to support a new software update. The manufacturer is working on it.

If you have a rooted phone, and you installed boot and system from one of the models that currently does have Oreo, no -- your modem isn't going to work with their rild.

Maybe he means lineage?? The lineage build is Oreo right?

Could be, but that would make diagnosing the problem much easier if he would have said Lineage
If that is the case, I hope the OP made a backup of their EFS....

Hi Brian...
I got my H918, Used your FWUL and LAFsploit.... (I think you are like a V20 rockstar...? thank gosh there's guys like you and websites like XDA to find you with!)
Got superV20 V2.1 on, I installed with
the option or the MK2000 kernel, although, I'm listed as kernel version 3.18.31. My softwaRe is 10t security patcheck level, March 1st, 2018.
In the last 2 days TMOBILE has been trying to push an Android System Update, of around 119.8 Mb to my phone.
(I don't know that it matters or is even noteworthy, but my provider is Virgin Mobile Canada, In B.C..)
It's asking for restart before installing, and I just keep closing it.
Could this be Oreo?

XT 1681 not updated

Dear!
I use XT 1681 more than 1 year. It was updated automatically up to patch from 1 june 2018 (...137....14). Patch downloaded many many times but after reboot I have error of updating (android symbol with "!") and rollback. I reset settings to factory - not results. How I can fix it? Thank you!

I still have this problem. Any solutions? Thank you!

My region Russia. Phone was full reseted to factory. Phone not rooted

I fixed this bug! Problem was in standard flashing for XT 1681-1683. Lenovo produced other flashing for Brazil from 1/11/18. I found this update and flashed my phone with adb. I not understand: why Lenovo not changed rom for my phone from air? Why I must to search solution three months? It very bad practice for Lenovo! Motorola was serviced customers many better!
