Why is no link to the OTA available?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DadOudidOuda:
Because I think you need to be rooted to extract the OTA ;)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] McBacker:
Not really.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DadOudidOuda:
This is an old article for Nexus devices, I doubt you can do the same with the Z Play.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] slainer68:
Nope, someone could just find the official OTA HTTP link...

Nothing here for me yet, and I'm subscribed to the soak test.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] bigbamboo5:
Interesting - and slightly worrying - that you're also Brazilian and expecting a soak test. Maybe the other dudes are also testers (but they don't know it?)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] alasgalux:
That's very strange. I don't know why they would begin a soak test with the definitive version being launched via OTA.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] bigbamboo5:
Me either, but there's a few of them over on Reddit who have already had the update and aren't in the soak test. All Brazilians over there, though. Moto Germany were very specific about 'the end of January', so I'm hopeful that reteu is next.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] vinnegsh:
i'm starting to think this whole "nougat is out" was just a massive bait. i've never seen something like this happen before, over 24h of the first appearence and nobody uploaded the file? seems shady
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] turkobr:
I live in Brazil and still didn't get the update, but I think the screenshots are real since something similar happened when they started rolling the updates for the Z.

I have a friend with the Moto Z and when Nougat started rolling on the first devices he got an notification for an update but was rooted at the time. When he restored it to stock it took a week for the OTA to show up again. Brazil was one of the first places, if not the first one for the Moto Z too, and I believe they released it to just a few devices before a mass release.

We also are the first ones to get the security updates as well, i got the december security patch a long time ago. So I'm keeping my hopes up the notification will show up soon on my device.

Noone has Nougat...
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] freibooter:
It has not started in Spain in Portugal! The soak has started on Brazil and Mexico.

Some idiot tech blogger saw the screenshot from this very thread here and without verification claimed it was from Portugal (you, know, because it was in Portuguese). Then others picked up the story and repeated the falsehood and now this incorrect info has spread back to this thread... absurd.

There have been zero confirmed sightings of a reteu soak or partial roll-out so far.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Hitachy:
The one that posted nougat screenshots was not in soak program, so...
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] freibooter:
Yes, the user who got it claims to not have been invited to the closed beta test of Nougat via the Moto Feedback Network. However, true or not, they'd still be part of a very limited roll-out - that's usually called soak testing.

Either way, the point stands that there is no confirmed roll-out on any reteu devices at the moment. That was a false report by an Internet "journalist" who got their information from this very thread and managed to get it wrong ... and a bunch of other "journalists" blindly copied the false info.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Jorgeprdz:

Who on earth sells Moto Z Play retde devices?

Amazon.de and all the big online and retail stores sell single-SIM reteu devices in Germany.

I was pretty certain until you wrote that that even the Moto Maker Dual Sim devices sold on the German Moto Maker site were reteu, but correct me if I'm wrong.

I have never even heard of a Z Play retde device, where are they sold from?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Hitachy:
So, if moto germany said that MZP will be updated until the end of january, they were talking about reteu devices.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] freibooter:
No idea, but as a Mot Z Play owner who bought his Moto Z play in Germany and who is following the German Moto Z Play tech communities ... I have yet to see a retde device. I have no idea what [MENTION=3293939]Terepin[/MENTION] is talking about. There was a Moto X play retde channel, but as far as I know, Moto Z Play does not have that software channel - it's reteu in Germany.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] bigbamboo5:
I know it isn't for reteu, but it IS a European release and I doubt that the Germans will have done the necessary work without there being similar progress on the much larger reteu market.

Retde doesn't exist, this is the conclusion.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] bigbamboo5:
Weird. Why are they Tweeting about it, in that case? This is Motorola Germany, who should know.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DadOudidOuda:
The retde variant seems to exist but it's probably just a very limited number of devices (which would explain why no one on XDA from Germany has this update channel).

Or maybe there's a retde variant for the Moto Z and Moto Germany thinks there's the same variant for the Moto Z Play.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Hitachy:
But if retde exist, why are they selling reteu variant in Berlin?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DadOudidOuda:
Well, if they only made a small number of the retde variant, most resellers wouldn't able to get them and would sell the reteu variant. Some countries are weird when it comes to smartphones, it's not impossible that Germany forced Motorola/Lenovo to make a special variant for their country in order to pass some tests (like in the US with the FDA)
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] xxBrun0xx:
Since we're talking about models, anyone know what version addison_row_cust is? I believe it's the baseband for the unlocked US variant, even though the factory image is labelled "retus". Wonder if not all basebands and factory images match?

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] freibooter:
retde does not exist. There is zero evidence of anyone ever getting such a device. I do not believe that there is a retde update channel for either Moto Z device available in Germany.

More than likely, Moto_GER mistook it for the Moto X Play, which did have a retde update channel.

Either way, a January rollout feels exceptionally unlikely at this point in any European region.

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] FernandoRocker:

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
So you've changed baseband (by flashing a rom from a channel different from where you started) and don't have a brick? That's promising.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] FernandoRocker:
Yeah. I also changed the baseband to RETLA_CUST before. I used RSD Lite to flash the ROMs (I don't have an unlocked bootloader and I don't have root).

The phone came with ROW_CUST originally. The reason why vI changed the ROM was because I wanted faster OTAs. But then I realized that with ROM that was not originally intended for my phone, I would never receive OTAs. That's why I want to return to ROW_CUST but I can't find that ROM. A few comments ago, someone put a link with a ROM (apparently the one I'm looking for). I will try tomorrow.

Question: Why did you say that it was promising?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
I thought it was promising because just about everything I've read on here seems to indicate that any messing around with radio/baseband was likely to cause hard bricks. I don't have any history with moto android devices except the E2, so I'm hesitant to flash stuff on the MZP without a high level of confidence.

Thanks for the detailed explanation.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] xxBrun0xx:
If anyone can confirm this returns row_cust baseband, sounds like it's going to help a lot of us accept the upcoming nougat OTA.
