For some reason the screenshot wouldn't upload, so here it is on imgur.

Yep. Here in the Seattle area, the Verizon Android 10 update is here for the Moto Z4. Update went without a hitch...phone runs well and smoothly.

Anyone know how to get rid of this? It just started after the updated lol.

I think they put that there to remind us that once Android 11 is released, we'll be stuck on Android 10.

It's there because developer tools are enabled, if you turn them off that message disappears.

I had the update last week, but was waiting for it to come up on Software update center since I have retail version, but now update is gone and it hasn't been released on the update center.

Could someone pull the update and post it here for the rest of us to manually update??

There is a new one today, it said critical, and applied itself, no option to delay it, it's called Update 5+.

I agree we really need the system image for this update. My phone will not update using the update system option, it only tells me it's already up to date. I tried using the tool from Verizon, same thing, up to date. I called verizon, after the second tech they want to send a new phone. But I don't really want a new phone. Also they had me do a factory reset just to be sure. I had a lot of apps disabled, and had other modifications through adb. Turns out those weren't the issue.
Pretty Please with Sugar on Top.

I'm sure all it would take is for someone to use the Verizon update tool or whatever it's called and select reinstall but keep my days then it'll download and extract. You just have to grab it once it starts extracting the zip and copy it somewhere so that when it finishs extracting it doesn't get removed. The app deletes the system image/zip when it finishes extracting. You could also unplug your phone when it starts extracting and it would touch your device.
Edit...... Then upload it anywhere.

This is an excellent idea, however it'll only work for people already on 10. Myself and others cannot update neither OTA or using the update tool. Using this aforementioned method of extraction would be absolutely fabulous, and I myself would buy some beers for anyone that would pull the update whatever way they can and upload???

Just manually checked and the update was there. I didn't think of it but there used to be an app that a Dev put out for Moto phones that would copy the update. Probably to old to work anymore though.

I did the same thing a couple days ago.

It's finally in the repository

Ive used LMSA (lenovo motorola smart assistant). Just set the download folder to someplace you recognize, then copy it out of that folder before lmsa extracts the zip

%#*%^$^%$#$(&!! I've been scouring the web all evening trying to figure out why my bluetooth stopped functioning recently...all worked fine until this new update that came across on my phone yesterday. I haven't been able to find any info on this, I was starting to think I was the only one having issues after that update. Is there a fix for this?

A Second Update This Morning (6/28)?

OK, this is a little weird. I did the OTA update this morning and all was fine, but then just for grins, I did a manual check for updates again and goit new download!! This one is named OTA_Supersonic_1.47.651.1-1.32.651.6_releaseq2wpcb5jl7uowah9.zip. What the heck is this one? I will go ahead and install and see what happens.
Edit: maybe it just downloaded the same update again...not sure....but it's asking if I want to install it. Should I and/or shouldn't the phone know if the update has already been applied and not ask this again?
if you can get them both on your computer run a md5 sum against the files.

The first OTA was removed after it installed (I think because I cant find it) and the one mentioned above has also disappeared after downloading but before I installed it). If anyone knows where these zip files are saved, let me know and I'll take a look.
did someone wake-and-bake this morning?
Update help
I have a rooted phone. The update downloads then when installing it starts to install, but stops and I get the screen with the red question mark. The phone then reboots and when I go check for the update its as if I never downloaded it.
Anyone have any thoughts?
DO NOT install the 2nd update. there are reposrts of users (on Android Forums) bricking their EVOs on the second update. just and FYI
Yeah some are saying it may brick your phone ... after updating and checking for a new update it states there is one.
Don't really have the time to try and see ... or else I wouldn't anyways ...

[How to] ¤¤»Update to 1.8.3 and ROOT«¤¤ (Working for Some)

I don't know why people are having soooo much trouble with this so im just going to post this..
this is what I did to get the 1.8.3 update.
1) Go download the Motorola Software Updater from here.
2) Download the updater and then install it. Make sure that you have your Motorola Driver updated.
3) Run the updater, plug in your phone (Debugging has to be on). Wait till the updater recognizes your Atrix.
4) The updater will scan your device and see what firmware you have installed. Once it identifies that you have your Atrix connected and you are updated to 1.5.7 it will start to scan for updates (This can take a while, so let it do its thing).
5) Once it finds an update, it will wait till you click next.
6) After that it will download and install the update to your phone, once it is completed your phone will reboot. (Again, the updating/installing can take a while)
THATS IT!
Rooting time w/ GingerBreak.
Go here to view the full guide on how to do it. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!!
If I can do it, anyone can.

Apperently doesn't work for everyone, I guess its being rolled out slowly. So if it doesn't work when you try it, try it another time.

Hi there
About how long does it take to recognize the phone??

It would be nice if you could update like this but they have pulled it off there site since its not goin OTA yet. So now were having to revert back to flashing 1.8.3 over 1.5.7 va RSD. then do the whole root and side load after that

When I did it. Sideload was still there. I just used GingerBreak to re-root. It was really fast and easy to do.

A while. I guess it depends. I'm not sure if Motorola pulled the update from their servers like AT&T did.
Well I guess I need to clarify, how long does it take for the software update tool recognize the phone?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
To my understanding it took alot of peoples phones a while. From what i heard you can Flash 1.5.7 then flash 1.8.3 on top of that and root and enable side loading before the phone tools would start the update

There should be a %. But it doesn't say how long and I didn't keep track. I just started it and left. Came back and it said it found an update then i just installed it.
Proof. Just want to show you that I actually have it working.
-Sideload (the only way I could get Screen Grabber on my phone)
-Rooted (required for Screen Grabber to work)
-1.8.3 (shown in picture)
I Flash a 1.8.3 SBF file.
But can't display a MP4 file which can play on Ver 1.5.7.
Can you play it with Gallery (with 1.8.3 default video player.)??
People have told you several times now that this method no longer works, I tried it exactly as you said several times over the past few days and just for good measure I tried again right before I posted this.
I understand that it worked for you a couple days ago but things changed and I assure you it does NOT work anymore.
Looks like the OTA availability is widening. I've been manually checking for updates daily for the last week or so. This morning it found the update and installed without issue. Northern VA area.
i just used the 1.8.3 sbf with RSD lite 5.31
No update on moto for me and no OTA
finally got it working, thanks!
I got the update notice as soon as I registered the product (which I hadn't done until today after owning since April 20th). Make sure that you've registered your phone on motorola.com
I just got the update right now over WIFI > System Update. Looks like its downloading now!!!
dont forget to backup your internal sd card since gingerbreak will format it.
Mine just popped

Ya, that was my experience too. I did everything to the letter, and no update. What I think happened is moto/att is pushing out the update in batches, and you (chubby) happened to be one of the lucky first in the roll out, and that's why it worked for you.
I could be wrong, but that would definitely explain why everyone but you was having so much trubbs.
BTW, I just checked again a few minutes ago and it finally found the update.

Rooted gingerbread keeps trying to download verizon update

Hey all,
I looked through the posts and wasn't able to find the answer so I am leaving this. Basically I upgraded my X from a rooted froyo to GB using the 2 files provided by P3Droid to go from the SBF froyo to GB rooted. It works great and I am having no freezing issues however the phone keeps trying to update and download the GB over the air update. I don't know how to stop this from happening or if I did something wrong. I have deleted a few of the Verizon apps that should stop any update from taking place anyway. I thank you in advance for your help.
I downloaded the "rooted gingerbread .596" from p3droid and my Droid X has never asked to update.
the only other thing I can think of is that I accidentally hit check for update on my phone but I don't think that it should have even found the gingerbread once I had installed it myself...
I just went into my settings and into "about phone". I also checked for a update and it says that it is up to date no update is necessary. So I have no idea what is going on. Only thing I can suggest is if it continues, is to SBF back to Froyo and reinstall p3Droid's rooted .596 again. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
You could let the update happen, it would go partially, fail and reboot and you're all set
Same problem with Sprint EVO 4g
I have also just installed "4.22.651.2 Rooted & De-Odexed" after accidentally dl the OTA update last week. I just hoped that installing the new ROM would eliminate the notifications to install the update but unfortunately it did not.
I did try to let it install so as to let it fail and rebooted, and the notification is still there.
Is there maybe a way to manually remove the update file?

this is the Droid X sub-forum. You will get the proper help if you post in the Evo section.
Sorry I just didn't find anything even closely related to this issue here and thought it would be best to not start a new thread. Isn't this a software issue and therefore somewhat universal?

here a link to the thread for your 4.22.651.2 Rooted & De-Odexed rom in the EVO section... and there's discussion in there about your exact problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110733
Thank you very much!
I'm having the same problem. It comes and goes with no ability to clear. It always pops up after a reboot. It never actually downloads, at least that I've seen....
Does anyone know which package to freeze so the updater stops flagging?
Stop OTA Updates
Freeze the application called "Updater 2.3.3".

[Q] 2.3.3 OTA update Rogers not showing?

Hi there,
Using an unlocked Play from Rogers (Fido sim), read a few posts that update was to come July 1st in Canada... I'm not seeing one. Can someone confirm updating this way? I'm pretty sure I could update thru Pc companion but I've rooted the phone and would like to keep it this way, again read somewhere that only using OTA update would allow to keep root, is that right?
Thanks in advance

Why wait for the rogers update? When you know the next update is gonna be slow. Just flash the UK(works on your play) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116090 and you will always get the updates first and root as well
I'm on rogers and I still don't have the update yet. I tried doing the check for update. Still nothing.
If you install the software on your desktop and check for an update you will find it. Every time I plug my phone in it says there is an update but I don't want to update it yet.
The software I am talking about is the one where when you plug in the phone on the phones screen it says would you like to install software to the computer blah blah blah.
I was the one that emailed Sony E and they said July first. I think Rogers messed it up and we can only update through the PC. I’m going to use the UK if I can get it to work. They say it’s 3 steps but each of those steps are many steps. For instance it says “Add ftf firmwares files in the firmwares folder” I have no idea where the Firmwares folder is and it doesn’t say. I will do some research and do it. I have all my stuff on the SD at the moment and it said it will format. Does this mean I have to start over? Will it remove my contacts? LOL my contacts took me a long time to setup.
Flashing it to generic uk firmware is a really easy. Just backup your own contacts to gmail... I didn't know how to do it but all my contacts are on my sim card anyways.

Download the latest flashtools and unzip the flashtools to your desktop, in the folder you unziped it to there is the firmware folder. Just put the files from the ".184 UK firmware".zip into the firmware folder and then open flash tools and flash. When i did it, it didnt wipe my sd card just my phone apps e.t.c but it took 5 mins to reinstall them/re-setup after using ota to update to 2.3.3 and keep root
or see here for a quick guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10879528&postcount=3
I will back them up but Gmail puts everyone that emailed me in the list and it sucks. I email people to buy stuff but wouldn't want them in my contacts.
Thanks
I will give it a try tonight. I'm tired of waiting for Rogers.
You can grab all the rogers app off the market afterwards? The only one I kept was the my account one. You'll notice that the bootup becomes crazy fast, compared to the rogers stock.
Sent from my XPlay using XDA App.
yes you can. Search for Rogers and they all come up. My account is the first one.
I posted this in the other 2.3.3 thread. thought it was relevent here.
i hate reposted normally . but yeah ..
Just updated to 2.3.3 here in Alberta... did it through the PC companion.. took not to long. the initial boot after update seemed to take forever.. roughly 8 minutes.
After everything booted up, i restarted the phone again .. and already noticed the boot time was alot faster.. faster than 2.3.2 for sure..
I was getting the same thing where the OTA update said the phone version was current .. but the PC companion found a new version and the install was easy as pie.
Dont notice anything else differant really. other than the boot time... hopefully ill notice the battery life increase everyones talking about..
** and maybe its just me . but my predictive text in messaging seems slightly diffearnt ? i dont know how . it just does.. maybe its just me.

Any way to update via zip since ZTE's servers are dead?

My phone was broken through rigorous device testing at work. Took ZTE a very long time but they finally delivered my repaired phone in November. Been extremely busy and transfered my life to a replacement Moto G5 but now I want to go back to my trusted ZTE...
...except I can't update my device. What they sent back to me was a device with the last installed update from Jan 2017. Now that's OK if I can just go and update it, but I can't. Servers are dead, and I don't have the time to go and start rooting/unlocking/installing Roms. And I think because of how old the last update is, apps like Android Auto aren't working properly with my car.
Would be nice if the US gov't played nice and just allowed ZTE to at least keep their servers up and running, but I have no control of that. Right now I'm at the point where I'm deciding on buying a Oneplus 6 if I can't get this phone working properly. Android Auto is a #1 priority for me.
Is there a way to grab update Zips somewhere online and easily update from the updater tool? I did this before when I got my device to Android 7.1.1 ways back (I purchased my ZTE almost 2 years now).
Which one do you have the U, G and the Chinese version?

Not without the B35 stock firmware which no one seems to have as ZTE never put it up on the support page before everything went down.
I still have a fully stock phone for now and I have been trying to find a way to root without wiping my device so I can try to pull the OTA from /data, but so far I haven't had any luck.

As i got my A2017G two day before, there was the v B02 installed on it! (from apr. 2017?)
Unfortunately, i can’t get a newer OTA update because all ZTE servers seems to be offline.
But I have found several v A2017G/B10 zip files in the internet. I have downloaded two of them and compared. Result=Equal
After putting some of the files onto my sd, the update was found and installed successful! Now i am on B10.
A little bit of work, but a good result!
