It appears to be a soak test in the US. The Official RETUS roll out is on the 13th. This is per the Android authority site.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] jordant2:
I received the nougat update for retus here in Cali. I had the sd formatted as internal and no issues after updating. I like it so far, and the animations feel really smooth. I also received a google update that gives me the Google Assistant feature yesterday. I feel like I have a pixel phone now with much better battery life.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] RealiZms:
It's not a "soak test". You have to be registered with Motorola as an insider then should a soak test roll out you get an email. Nobody here that has updated has reported anything like that. I'd always be suspect of anything on "Android Authority" as well. They're hardly an Authority
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] rile1564:
Ok, well it's not out to all RETUS phones yet, as I nor a few of my friends have it. I'm just going by the only thing I could find to explain why only a select amount of people got it on RETUS so far.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] RealiZms:
Really man it's just a horrible slow trickle roll out the likes of which I've never seen before. People on my software channel (reteu) had it 2 weeks ago.

Does the Z Play or Z Play Droid even have the February 2017 security patch?

Basically what's new is split window and double tap on the recently to swap screens. Developer options also has a switch to allow apps that dont allow split window to force them. It was a bit anticlimactic of an upgrade but then, I have a pixel XL that I have the wife and a OnePlus 3t. However the mzp is a solid reliable phone. A serious workhorse.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] IncendiaryPyro:
Thanks for the reply, but I ended up just unlocking my bootloader and flashing the stock firmware for my phone, and was then able to OTA to the proper Nougat build.

Hi,

I just uploaded the last OTA for people who applied retbr update to their phones.

Blur_Version.25.36.1.addison.retail.en.US

http://mirror.nox.wf/addison/

For what I saw around, this update should put our phones in phase with the version pushed in EU and allow us to get the official reteu OTA's.

This update must be sideloaded via ADB.

retus. North Carolina unlocked MZP. Carrier is Consumer Cellular MVNO on AT&T towers. File is 880Mb. Downloading now. Stoked.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] DroneDoom:
I'm on retus channel with just November patch, just got the update this morning. Try it again, possibly. I have TWRP recovery installed, maybe I could extract the OTA for you guys.

I won't be updating right away anyways, need to flash back stock recovery and kernel. Then disable some magisk modules, something tripped safetynet.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
While my eyes are burning from the new boot splash, there's a slightly disturbed part of me that appreciates the throwback feel to my v557. Especially the "Hello Moto".

I was updating to Nougat after getting the notice it was available, informed there was a problem and the phone was not updated. any idea on why?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] EspElement:
How do you know which MZP you have? I assume mine is a RETUS. I have an unlocked bootloader. Can I flash it up to android N? I tried sideloading it once but it wouldn't work... Currently on 6.0.1 December Patch
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Jimi Mack:
What is your software channel under About Phone. Most of this chatter lately has been for the Retus channel.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] EspElement:
Here is a screen shot.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
If I understand the coding correctly, that appears to be a dual sim baseband.

If you have a dual sim model, I don't think it'll be on the RETUS channel.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
Your about screen shows different layout from mine, not sure if it changed after N update. But yours doesn't show software channel.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Jimi Mack:
OK, Now I am confused, as I have a dual sim and I am clearly on Retus, though until I tried updating to the OTA my model also said at the time XT1635-02
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] EspElement:
Mine is not a dual sim, however maybe I flashed a dual sim rom? It does seem to offer a sim 2 but I do not have a slot for it.... Actually, when I was rooting I accidentally flashed a modified N kernel on my MM... Needless to say, I got it stuck for a bit.

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

Maybe I am wrong, is the XT1635-02 the dual sim?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
Yours does show RETUS. I'm not aware of any dual sim versions sold on RETUS channel, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Does your second sim slot work with that baseband?

Maybe you did flash a dual sim ROM - I think most of the custom ROMs support dual sim. But I didn't think any of them messed with baseband. There is a tutorial to activate second sim slot on devices that shipped as single sim. But you would know if you did that, and it seems like you didn't. Apparently there is no hardware difference, except for the blocked second slot on the sim tray of single sim devices.

Xt1635-01 is Verizon (single sim)

Xt1635-03 is China, I think (dual sim?)

Xt1635-02 is everyone else, both single and dual sim.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] EspElement:
I downloaded a stock firmware. However I was not sure how to find the official stock firmware for my phone. It is a US phone but seemed to be only LA stock roms laying around. Until I rooted it I was getting updates over OTA. Does that mean it was on an update channel?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
Yes, the update channel is what determines what update you get, and when, over the air.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] EspElement:
So how can I get Android N? Is there a stock one I can flash thru fastboot?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] iOSh8er:
I just received the updated prompt. I'll pull the OTA link and post it (retus) shortly.

It should be.

If you haven't gotten it yet, download the OTA and sideload it with 'adb sideload update.zip' (you'll have to rename the downloaded file)

[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Elfisher:
to those, who already have Nougat installed: is it worth it? how does the battery life and RAM management work?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] tag68:
Remember having trouble also getting the UI tuner. Don't remember which setting the problem was, maybe some animation factor in developer options mustn't be set to 0. Some weeks ago there was a workaround mentioned, there exists an app which shows the tuner in case you can't. If I find the posting I'll add the link here.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dandrumheller:
Battery life is pretty close to the same for me. Today has been my first "normal" use type day since the N upgrade. Before I was seeing 6% drain per hour screen on, and 1%-1.5% drain idle, depending on signal strength, WiFi vs LTE, or if it was sitting on a desk or on me, moving around. You can see roughly those numbers in the attached battery shots.

RAM management also appears to be better. On MM, it would typically try to keep almost 1GB unused. Now seems to be maintaining closer to 500MB free. Multitasking seems to have improved to the point that I rarely notice reloads any more. I didn't feel like they were terrible before (coming from SGS6) but anecdotally they are better on the N update. G+ seems to be the only app I use regularly that frequently reloads when switching back.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] BNKKS:
Thanks!! I set the animations in 1 and now it works.

Does it support OTG without using root features?

My (Vzw MM ) OTG access is limited to:

The new Solid Explorer or File Commander.

Others like Total Commander work but not without making a duplicate file when opening a file with a music app. ES File works not at all.

Few players work at all.

Anyone use Poweramp? It browses OTG in MM. What about N?

I need some guidance as information is extremely fragmented all over the place. I am planing in buying this phone, ideally I want to buy the dual sim XT1635-02 that is RETLA from Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZ05P97/ref=twister_B06XBHGMS6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

But the matter of fact I am worried about delayed updates, is Nougat out for it yet or is it behind in security updates? If that is the case I'll rater buy the single sim US version since at least I'll have more timely security updates.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] st_18:
Buy retus instead, retla seems to be the last to be updated, it was the last at getting the december patch, and didn't got any security patch between August and december. Also, Nougat hasn't been released for it yet.
