Same - I have choked down untold portions of humble pie over the years. No one likes to admit errors but they happen and 'real' men/women own up to them. In this case we will never know who is right so will be mutually spared the ritual of gobbling down a tasty turd. :)

I think what you are encountering is typical manufacturer/distributor/carrier vagueness on the status of upgrades. See it all the time. I give credit to Moto/Lenovo for attempting to publish a definitive schedule but pull that back (and issue two demerits) for not keeping the information updated, posting invalid links, etc. As for the different carriers, probably some overloaded admin supporting hundreds of pages and dozens of devices was given the task to publish. The cynically minded will envision a carefully crafted script of misinformation to throw off hapless owners. Anyone who has worked for a large multi-national company knows how this stuff really works.
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] goosnarrggh:
Well, my device is on the bwaca software update channel, which I've decoded to refer to Bell Canada. Confirmed via both the about screen and

adb shell getprop ro.carrier

It has successfully received OTA security patches in the past, including most recently the May 2017 patch. But still no Nougat... Oh well.
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] DB126:
Correct - Nougat OTA for G4P is still undergoing soak test. I would not expect any North American G4P devices to receive the update until that is complete. Be happy testing is underway vs. distributing a buggy update that kills the excitement (and possibly your device) 2 min after installation.
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] goosnarrggh:
That is a perfectly fair assessment of the situation. I was merely finishing my promised followup of the observation that Lenovo's support website was falsely claiming that this particular combination of model and carrier had already begun the Nougat rollout back in March.

I called it a lie; you used the much more diplomatic description of a mistake. Either way, it would be great if they update the wording to reflect the fact that the upgrade is still under development and they'll provide more word later about when it will be ready for general use. Leaving the existing message out there is very unfortunate.

At the end of the day, you're absolutely correct that I'd prefer they hold off on releasing it until it's actually ready.

New version of the Soak Test (NPI26.48-30) for Moto G4 Play (XT1603) rolling out.

There's a new version of the Soak Test (NPI26.48-30) for Moto G4 Play (XT1603) rolling out. The OTA archive could not be captured, but here is the screenshot. A Soak Tester released this screenshot in the Moto G4 Play community in Google+. So....anyone who captured this OTA, can give me any help or the link? Thanks!

any solution?
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Fanttato:
So....anyone captured the OTA from September Security Patch MPIS24.241-15.3-26?

It weights around 78mb. I'm asking because if someone need to downgrade from 7.1.1 soak test to stock 6.0.1 to install the 7.1.1 oficial, will be necessary to flash (using ABD or Recovery) the patches instead of installing directly from OTA.

Yes, give a read on the OP.

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

To install the 7.1.1 soak test via recovery stock, your Harpia need to be on February Security Patch.

Seeing the other comments in this thread, if you install TWRP, when you flash the 7.1.1 soak test it will not update the bootloader. I heard that it works even if you harpia is on May Security Patch.

Btw, give yourself a chance to read the OP.

I can't install this update.

I have may security patch, then I tried to install the rom with february security patch but it fail when it try to install the bootloader. Also I tried to install with the recovery menu and apply update from SD, it was unsuccessful.

Any solution?

Can I downgrade the bootloader to install the february security patch rom?

Please help!
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Fanttato:
I think that if you follow correctly the instructions on the OP (PAGE 1), then it should work on your Harpia too.

-Unlock your bootloader;

-Downgrade to 6.0.1 february security patch (MPIS24.241-15.3-16) via ADB;

-After successfully unlocked the bootloader, install the 7.1.1 update via recovery stock:

-*NPI26.48-8 - June (OTA)

-Turn On your phone, wait 'till it boots completely, then turn it Off, enter Recovery Mode and flash the following files, one by one (do the flash of July Security Patch, wait 'till your harpia boot completely, turn it off and flash the other file, repeat the procedure; at the end of the flashes, do a Hard Reset to avoid bugs):

*NPI26.48-16 - July

*NPI26.48-24 - August

*NPI26.48-30 - September

First of all, we need to know what is the model of you Harpia and if you're correctly following the steps on the OP (PAGE 1), then it should work.
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] santiagog242:
I've missed one step, I didn't unlock the bootloader. You mean unlocking under developing menu options OR unlocking with the key provided by Motorola?

Anyway I'll try and post if something goes wrong, thank you!

My harpia is XT1601
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Fanttato:
You need to use both of the options, in the developing menu you should turn on the option that permit the unlocking of the bootloader (unlocking the bootloader will void your warranty, I need to aware you of this), install Motorola Drivers and ADB, enter in Recovery Mode, plug your phone on the usb cable and through ADB, you'll get the code to unlock, then, if you already have the unique key provided by Motorola, use it to successfully unlock the bootloader.

Do it carefully, doesn't exist a blankflash to revive the Harpias after a hardbrick and I couldn't find anyway to help bring some Harpia back to life... Mine's not bricked, but I'm always trying to find something to help others...

I'll aprecciate your feedback!

After the updates (read my previous posts) - were I did NOT perform the factory reset - phone started acting weirdly. Noticeably some apps were stuck unresponsive longer than usual, at least one reboot for no apparent reason, and the battery was draining too fast (I'm a light user, usually I can get about 20-25 hours without recharge). After the upgrades (without factory reset) I noticed battery warmer than usual and battery status was telling me only about 10 hours after full charge.

After checking that Google has my backup data, I am performing the hard restet via Recovery Mode (wipe data+user data) right now and will report the results later

E: unknown command [log]
E: unknown command [log]a

[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] almeidaeldo:
You have to install the ROM with the February security patch. If you do not it will not work and will give this error!
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] hjbuzzi:
Just a quick update. After the reset via recovery mode, it took more than I was expecting to make everything work as before but it was worth it. Google says the backup will restore all your settings, logins and passwords but this did not happen to me. Many apps asked to enter the login name and password. Also I had to review all phone settings and many apps to make sure they were set with my choices. This was not a big deal but it was time consuming.

Battery drain (the reason I opted for a full recovery) was resolved after I used the ADB command line options to configure Greenify to enable Aggressive mode and Doze mode. You can find how to use these commands via google search, I will only write which ones I used:

Accessibility service run-on-demand:

adb -d shell pm grant com.oasisfeng.greenify android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Aggressive Doze on Android 7.0+ (non-root):

adb -d shell pm grant com.oasisfeng.greenify android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Doze on the Go:

adb -d shell pm grant com.oasisfeng.greenify android.permission.DUMP

and then

adb -d shell am force-stop com.oasisfeng.greenify

Now I have my XT1600 up to date and with a very good battery life. Considering I'm a light user, wi-fi on and bluettoth off, few phone calls, display brightness set to about 40% with adaptive brightness on, it gives me over 20 hours of battery life.

I know this has been asked a lot, but here I go, if I'm on may security patch, and flash the twrp zip, do I need to do wipes as I were installing normally a rom? will it have bugs that wouldn't happen if updating via the ota file on february security patch?

And a last thing, how is the performance compared to stock 6.0.1 and stock kernel?

I don't mind losing some battery time, as long as it performs the same (or better) than stock
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] almeidaeldo:
in performance is far better than the stock 6.0.1 and the battery has a very good duration!
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] AngeelGod:

[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] DB126:
It's a 'soak test' that never made it to general availability. Possible this was one of the issues holding it back. Suggest reformatting the card which may or may not solve the problem.

Nougat update (official)

Today we entered in December 2017! Till now the last soak test patch was of September with 7.1.1 and the system is fluid. Also some soak users say soak test ended already. So when will the official update come out? Does anyone know? And I have heard that the official will come this December end? So is this true?
[Moto G4 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] DB126:
Nobody knows unless they work for Lenovo or have a well placed source. Just because the soak test ended does not mean results were satisfactory. A few years back Moto ran three Lollipop soak tests on a popular device I own only to abandon the effort. Still on KitKat. Rumor had it a small number of devices were bricking and that killed it. No official statement.

I tried updating my tablet from 4.1 to 5.0 and now i am having some issues. I have no keyboard and my fingerprint sensor doesn't work anymore. So i have no way of doing anything. When I try to bring up the keyboard i get the google voice window.Build number shows BTV-W09C128B350. Trying to understand the steps i need to do to get my tablet back and running normally.

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] johje:
How did you do the update? Did you use Firmware Finder and it's DNS update or did you use the dload folder method? I used the Firmware Finder method and everything went smoothly even with an unlocked bootloader, You might try to use that method to reinstall Nougat, but you will need a keyboard to change your DNS settings to the one Firmware Finder needs and for that I suggest you try a USB keyboard connected through an OTG cable.

I will say that once you get Nougat working, the 5Ghz radio goes back to not working and the file that needs to be updated to enable it seems to have changed. So far, I can not find the correct file/setting to change to enable it. For me it is more annoying that I can't get it working than necessary because I am getting between 20 and 40 Mbs with the 2.4Ghz radio and that is plenty fast for what I ask this tablet to do.
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] lamstang94:
i Johje,

I was able to rollback to Android 6.0 and 4.1. Do you have instructions on how you did the Firmware finder update?

Thanks again for your help

Erik
[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] johje:
I used Firmware Finder to update to the most recent Full Update for the US version. After Selecting the firmware choose "Get an update through DNS" and follow the instructions. This will install the beta Nougat and restore your recovery partitions even if you have an unlocked bootloader. Once the tablet has Nougat installed, root by installing TWRP to the Recovery2 partition which will replace eRecovery and leave your main recovery in place. Use TWRP to Flash Magisk and PHH Superuser to root the tablet because from my experience SuperSU does not work for Nougat on this table. Once rooted you can enable the 5Ghz radio by finding the "cfg_btv_hisi.ini" file in the "cust_spec\vendor\etc" directory and then just change "band_5g_enable=0" option to "band_5g_enable=1" , after rebooting the 5Ghz wireless will be enabled.

Hope this helps

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Questions & Answers] johje:
Can you use Firmware Finder in your tablet's current state? If so, try updating using Firmware FInder's DNS method. You will need to be able to update your network DNS settings, though. Have you tried using a corded keyboard connected through an OTG cable or a bluetooth keyboard?

I did not try using the dload method because earlier attempts an updating Marshmallow to a more recent build always failed because of my unlocked bootloader.
