I believe that following the instructions below will do the job...

https://www.androidsage.com/2016/01...a-for-moto-g-2-and-3-android-6-0-ota-capture/

Basically:

1. You boot into recovery by holding volume down and power button;

2. fastboot devices (command prompt);

3. ADB sideload "zipfile";

4. Pray.

The OTAs are different than the system images, right? I have loaded the system images using RSD.

I suppose I can't use RSD to sideload the OTA?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] lanyao1920:
No, if you extract the OTA file you won't see system images, inside are patches, has to be done with stock recovery.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] lanyao1920:
I'm also curious but I just applied the retbr OTA on my return dual sim z play, still alive:

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
A major version upgrade less than 3 months after launch (assuming it hits by mid January) is by far the fastest updates I've ever seen on a device. It's WAY to early to be complaining.

Go take a ride on a Samsung device prior to the s7 on AT&T if you want to know about the pain of slow updates.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] bharatshaan:
Update to marshmallow was way quicker then this.

You have to accept that Lenovo isn't as quick as Motorola .
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
What do you mean? The device launched with marshmallow.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] bharatshaan:
I'm not talking about this device.

I'm just saying that Motorola used to bring updates much more quicker. It brought marshmallow to its devices before Christmas.

Now that Lenovo has taken over, the speed is slower.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
Oh gotcha. My only previous experience with Moto was/is with my Moto E2, which got 6 internationally but was left on 5.1 in the US by Moto. But that was a cheapie device. And I was on custom Roms from the beginning with it anyway so I didn't care.

I think it's hard to say whether Moto would have beat Lenovo in this particular case, but I'll defer to your experience in saying Moto was better. That said, I'm very happy with the schedule we are getting from Lenovo, since I waited a year for Sammy/ATT to get me a crappy MM build on the S6.

I'm having issues sideloading. adb doesn't detect my device in recovery mode while fastboot does. Edit: Follow these instructions if you had the same issue as me:

Boot into the bootloader, use the volume buttons to scroll the options and use the power button to select recovery mode.

Once the phone has booted into the stock recovery (you should see Andy Android with an exclamation mark) hold power and tap volume up to get into the recovery menu. Use the volume buttons to scroll and use the power button (you might need to hold it) to select "apply update from adb".
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] FreedFromDeath:

I'm in the same situation, Oct security patch MPNS24.1 04-44-7 and the OTA expect me to be in MPNS24.104-44-16. which files do you sideload to be in the latest security patch?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] flashallthetime:
Can't confirm , if you flashed the ota through sideloading it , you're going to have to wait for the sparsechunks to be uploaded.

Here's where the problem lies, your baseband ( no signal) is the issue, which file is responsible for the baseband?

It use to be non-hlos but there's other bin files that might be responsible for radio reception as well.

There's multiple basebands from MM 48r,47r, 42r and I'm positive it's the same with Nougat.

If you accepted the ota then you can reflash the ota through sideloading it and possibly correct issues.

I will remind folks that if you attempt flashing something that is not compatible with your device , you're playing Russian roulette.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] kvilpura:
