Hey Matt, I'm from India. Using the Indian version of Moto G4 Plus XT1643 (3GB-32GB) model. I had already registered my phone on Motorola forums and also opted in for Motorola Feedback Network (MFN) network. Many got the soak test OTA update but i didn't! So when i came across this NOUGAT soak test OTA zip, I flashed it and it's running pretty fine! Now when the official OTA will be released, I'll be getting that OTA am i right ?? And one more thing, where should i post feedback about the soaktest OS? Can you provide a link? I'll be grateful man, Thanks!

You won't be eligible for testing and you could have problems getting to the final software. Be careful.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ssmcrak:
But won't i be getting official OTAs? Since I'm already registered with your Motorola Feedback Network ?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Xatt:
If Moto is testing the software, it stands to reason that it may not be final, right? Or it wouldn't still be in testing. Huge risk, and as others have said, only possible reward is being able to say you had it early.

I know some of you are fully capable of managing the challenges of using leaked software. I also am pretty confident not everyone is. So again, be careful and ask yourself if a) you can manage it if things go badly sideways and b) it's worth it just to be a little ahead.

If we send out new software, we target phones that are on the previous official software. If your phone checks in on different software, the assumption is that you are not interested in the official version -- plus we know that trying to update that phone could cause serious issues. To get updates over the air, stay on the official software.

It's a bit of a long read, but most of this (and much more) is covered in this FAQ about the Motorola Feedback Network.

(Sorry XDA -- would never poach from your site. This is for information purposes only! - Matt)

Try factory data resetting your phone and then select update from SD card, it'll give you the same error. Then go to system mount and again select update from SD card. It works!

FlashFire?

My device is rooted running ElementalX 0.06 and RR. My volume down button has gone for a toss so not really confident of reverting back to stock if and when something goes wrong, I cant go to bootloader. i really want to try out N. Can I use Flashfire?

Also, an earnest request. Please make an Android N TWRP flashable zip :fingers-crossed:

About downgrading

ok so i downgraded to 6.0 and i tried installing the 7.0 soak test again and it installed just fine it didnt brick my device i even went as far as to downgrade again from the 7.0 soak test even with the updated bootloader and all seems fine i can confirm that i could upgrade and downgrade back and forth without problems

so my question is this wouldnt this be the same process when we get the official 7.0?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:
Hopefully! Let's hope they don't change the bootloader again after the official update. If that doesn't work out, we'll have to wait for a full Nougat stock rom (not an update file) to flash that or head over to a custom rom, like CyanogenMod (hopefully CM14 by then...).

Bootloader

So if they dont change the bootloader we should be ok to take the official 7.0 ota even tho we have the 7.0 bootloader already from downgrading the soak test rite?but come to think of it what could they possible change it has to stay at 7.0 think about it or am i missing sumthing? If at the moment we can upgrade back and forth from the 7.0 soak test back to 6.0 marshmallow without bricking the device what could they put in the official ota to cause a brick im confused
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:
Well, they are free to change/update the bootloader again. My advice is to stay on Nougat or a custom rom, until you know how the update finally works out. Didn't find any disturbing bugs in this soak test however, apart from some missing settings that I'm used to in CyanogenMod... (but I'm afraid those are not 'bugs').

I am Matt from forums.motorola.com and other dimensions of the Internets. I know using leaked software can be fun, but you can mess up badly, too.[/QUOTE]

Hey Matt, sorry for bothering you but, any idea why I'm not getting any OTAs at all? But even official ones. I'm still on firmware 139-23.4 and yes, I'm registered for the soak test.

What should I do? My software channel is retla and my phone model is XT1621 if that helps.

Thanks.

downgrade 7.0 soak test

ok guys ive just done some testing and ive found that whilst on official android 6.0 my bootloader version was (moto-msm8952-b0.0e) (sha-4986429) with the date 2016-04-13

then after upgrading to 7.0 soak test the bootloader version changed to (moto-msm8952-b1.00) with the date 2016-06-24

so after i then did the downgrade back to 6.0 marshamallow and the bootloader version downgraded back to its original (moto-msm8952-b0.0e) (sha-4986429) with the date 2016-04-13 so moral of the story is the bootloader does infact downgrade too and doesnt stay with the new android 7.0 bootloader like many seem to claim on this thread if u guys want to try this for yourself run this command to get your bootloader versions before update and after u updateto 7.0 & then 1 last time when u downgrade to 6.0 u will need to run the below command via adb fastboot

fastboot getvar version-bootloader

Im sure there is something change in fingerprint sensor things in this soak update. I rolled back to 6.0.1 via TWRP backup file & tried to add a fingerprint & guess what, at the last verification of fingerprint it said cant add fingerprint try again. I tried it in CM13 also. Same thing. Now im getting really worried about my device :(
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pranjal24:
Yes true but there is confusion becuz if MOTO alterned the bootloader to something like it only recognizes the stock bootloader as when we upgradr and downgrade several times

It migh t not fully erase the previous files and thus the official ota will brick our phones

And now for the soak ota update . If this update is official then we will get the official ota definately

So dont mess right now .stay. let the developers try first and then to the testers.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:
It's because you used TWRP to reinstall your backup.

For fingerprint to work again, you need to install stock marshmallow through fastboot again. After that it will work in CM again also.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] guibgomes:
I really admire the effort you expended to guide users here, Matt. As you said, it is assumed that users of XDA have full ability to solve problems with software on their devices, while there are curious and eager users (like me), which can damage their devices being careless. I have been following this thread since it started, and I realized that it is worth having a little patience. I'm anxious for the launch of Nougat to the G4 Plus, since I have had a taste with my Moto G2. I can wait for the official release haha :D
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Fir3lordZuk0:

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Xatt:
Who said this was soak software? You have no idea what you are loading and if it's official, interim, has been altered by whoever posted it online (not likely but not insane) or simply buggy. You don't know if it's on an upgrade path or not.

Not trying to be bummer, but please take a look at your assumptions and realize that you have no idea what the outcome might be when you load software you find on the Internet.

But best of luck to everyone! I wish you only great experiences. :cool:

Hey, thanks. I really do want everything to come out fine -- and I do hate it when we trust people (who promise to keep this stuff confidential) who then turn around and leak it. We try to run a tight ship!
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:
In a way you're right, in another way you're not. If you point it like that, we also can't run CyanogenMod or any other legitimate custom roms anymore. I've been doing that for years now without any significant problems!

Most XDA people know the risks they take and are very aware of them! These things are a hobby for me, and if there are problems (read: bugs) it's a sport to solve them! I want to see more of the Android world than just a (forgive my words) boring stock rom, that gets updated 2 or 3 times and then becomes officially 'abandoned'.

My build number ends in 139-64 (On fastboot it says -64/65) and it does not work... Does anyone have a solution. I have an XT 1625, which is identical to the XT1622- it is the 32 gig variant
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Xatt:
Fair enough. I didn't mean to imply that CyangenMod or other committed people or groups couldn't make solid software. I was speaking specifically about this particular ROM.

It can be boring, but we have to be responsible for the software for hundreds of thousands and millions of devices, for people who are not in the least technical. It's a different task.

I have zero objections to people modifying software -- heck, I'm delighted that there are people enthusiastic about this stuff -- as long as they take responsibility for their actions. That sounds like you.

There is a chance that the soak test has updated your bootloader if you downgrade the bootloader stays on 7.0 bootloader even though you run mm ,if you get an official update the via OTA if you try to update it may brick your mobile so wait untill people confirm it.its better to stay where you are for now.

Just download and copy the file to your Internal SD. Turn off your phone. Reboot into bootloader (VolumeDown+Power for few secons and release them). After viewing "no command" Press (Power+VolumeUp) and release VolumeUp first then Power button. There you go into recovery menu. Select option "Apply update from sdcard", and select the downloaded file. That's it.

The process will take around 20mins to complete.

This works only without root. With root it fails.

It gets automatically fixed sometimes, but it will become like this again. Even when I check sounds under settings and try to increase or decrease media volume, it will play a sound, but nothing when I change alarm or notification volume. Even when choosing ringtones, no tone will play either. It's like, the phone is on silent even when the volume is full. Any solutions?

One problem I noticed, I was wondering if someone can help me with it... It's that in the mobile networks I can't switch to 2g, I do it when I am connected to WiFi to save battery... However, in this there's no option if 2g, for sim 1 and sim 2 by default starts on 3g, can't access the network preference on it...

And In case anyone needs a mirror for download its here,

One question more, I am not sure about the ota, since we are already on 7.0, therefore, i don't think we'll be getting any notification for it.. Please correct me if I am wrong..

And also if anyone can help me with 2g switching problem, it actually makes a lot of difference in battery backup.. :D
