[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Shadowdancer123:
Yes, everything works. No problem with camera.

Had the scrolling bug, but going to moto app and disabling the shortcut for small screen mode fixed it like others discovered.

Actually just toggling it on and off fixed it, if I enable it again the bug won't return.

I don't know why this worked, maybe I was already in queue to upgrade, but waiting for a download slot, and the phone discovered the file.

Fastboot flashing won't work with a locked bootloader btw, even when the file is untouched.

Just following all the threads, to make an observation this OTA will only update the 246-45 firmware. If you're running any other (I'm running EU -17) it fails as it can't verify the -45 firmware first.

People keep talking about the 'European' OTA but this isn't it. The -45 firmware is either Bell or Rogers, so Canadian.

I'm going to attempt to flash the Canadian firmware onto my UK Moto and see what happens but those running an EU firmware won't be able to make this work.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] reiteravi:
can u upload the canadian to mega ?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Shadowdancer123:
I got it working without adb just by putting the file at the root of internal storage and checking for updates.

It copied and verified the zip file as is.

I had booted in bp tools mode, but I don't know if that is what made it work.

I have the nordic reteu.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] H00pyFr00d:
Interesting. I'll try that. Root of SD or root of internal so rooted? What firmware were you using before?

Not sure, I never took a screenshot of it.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] H00pyFr00d:
Ah, because your device is on a -45 firmware...

Mine's only on a -17 firmware so won't work. Annoying.

This is Rogers .45 firmware. I also got a weird thing from Chrome saying malicious when i downloaded it from Filefactory. Not sure why it said that is appears clean to me. I uploaded it to Mega since Filefactory f*cking blows.

I havent tested yet but theres apparently no issues flashing EU or Canadian FW on your retail US device. Once your device has .45 firmware the Nougat update zip SHOULD work fine.

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] cilk:
I had the same error and I couldn't figure what was going on and then I just rebooted my computer and finally the sideload was reading the update zip.

---------- Post added at 06:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 AM ----------

Seem to work so far, I had stock Bell mobility rom on my moto z but when I tried to sideload the OTA it gave me this error :

verifying current system
E3002: Package expects build thumbprint of 7.0/NPL25.86-15/14:user:/release-keys or
6.0.1/MPL24.246-45/46:user/release-keys; this device has 6.0.1/MPL24.246-17/17:user/release-keys.
E: unknow command (log)
E:Error in /sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)

Now I've just installed the Rogers rom in your link and the OTA is installing, I've got past the error. Thanks :D
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Prfndhatrdofman:
Tried rebooting my computer, no difference. might just try a different computer at this point. I've tried so many different versions of ADB and nothing changes!

Update: Well its sideloading now. Couldn't load from storage, only worked over ADB. Apparently ADB sideload wouldnt work until i had completely factory reset / formatted storage after installed stock .45

Update 2: Well my device is bricked. Was stuck in a recovery erasing loop then i ended up getting tired of that and reflashed .45 now it just hangs at boot. Nougat sideload doesnt work at all now. Error 0 when trying to sideload. FYI from my experience theres no going back once you OTA to nougat. theres no going back to 6.0.1

Update 3: well im dramatic. nougat sideload was succesful finally...im booted up. so can we root this thing yet?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] reiteravi:
sideloading fails with error 1004:system partition fails to recover

How did you install the Rogers rom?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] innit:
guys first you have to flash XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_RETEU-EMEA_MPL24.246-17_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-03_CFC_EMEA.xml with RSD Lite and not fastboot.

after succsessfull flash you'll be prompted with an info to update to MPL24.246-45, do it.

then you can sideload the nougat ota.

that's what i did and it worked with no errors
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] marcoar:
OTA arrived on Italian devices
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] MyDarkThrone:
Yes. only adbsideload file name through stock recovery
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] cilk:
Ok here what I did to get Nougat on my Moto Z. Mine is a Canadian Bell Mobility with unlocked bootloader so an EU model.

Download this Rogers rom (thanks Prfndhatrdofman) : https://mega.nz/#!nssGEDiT!hhLkcTM10...lYOhUwpcd_sGJY

Once it's done, unzip the file and put it inside your "minimal ADB and Fastboot" folder http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

Inside your minimal adb and fastboot folder, press shift and right click, then select open command window here. You will have to run all these command while your Moto Z is in bootloader mode (power button + vol down) :

Everything on your phone will be deleted!

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot boot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.10
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.11
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.12
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.13
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot

Once this is done, you will have the stock Rogers rom installed on your device. At this step, I did a normal boot to get at the first setup screen then a shutdown. Now you will have to boot on the stock recovery for adb sideload. I had some difficulty to do this because every time I tried to boot recovery I got a "no command error". Here what I did to fix this :

Boot into bootloader (power button + vol down)

Select boot recovery

at the no command error, hold the power button for like 3 seconds then while holding it press a single time the vol up button then release power button. Voila the stock recovery is booted.

Now you will have to select update from ADB, the phone will be in a waiting stade to get the command from your computer. Again you will have to run ADB from the "minimal ADB and fastboot folder" and you need this file : https://mega.nz/#!RlckjLAB!kKTc1196P...SNLToEkvUePymE (thanks to Lepezon) in the folder. Run this command :

adb sideload FILENAME

Now you have a nougat moto z, have fun :D

or maybe I am just wrong.

Guys,

After like 24 hours of trying, I finally updated my RETUS Moto Z to Nougat. What I did is similar to what everyone else here has done, but hey it's XDA so maybe I can help someone.

Here's generally how it went down:

1. Made sure I had updated Android Developer tools...esp adb

2. Flashed XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_ROGERS_MPL24.246-45_cid50_subsidy-RGRCA_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip manually with this method (it takes a while)

3. Download Blur_Version.24.21.46.griffin.retail.en.US.zip

4. Start adb, type adb devices and confirm connection

5. Rename Blur_Version.24.21.46.griffin.retail.en.US.zip to update.zip, drop into ADB folder while ADB is running

6. adb sideload update.zip

7. Went to 95% and failed. But regardless, Nougat worked

Will TWRP on someone elses device be able to use your backup? I thought the folder name in backups was based on your device serial number?

Also have you tested restoring your own backup ? I tried restoring my backup of nougat and it caused a boot loop. I think Nougat on the Moto Z doesnt like when it see thats the system partition has been mounted as R/W
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] juliospinoza:
worked for me, I flashed today earlier because I mess the system with some phone apk (twice). It's not the first time I share the TWRP with some other users; on the Forum of Moto X 2014 I used to have plenty of activity and nobody said something like that, or maybe nobody really ever used :eek:

anyway, if some experienced user are willing to test it first will be great. BTW is a fresh backup, not a single app than the stocks, made it just before a full factory recovery.

PS 30 minutes just before finish the upload, sorry but the upload speed is insane low here.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Prfndhatrdofman:
So this is an untouched system image, boot image, etc? Anything else in the backup?
