Pip is working, but like other things Lenovo don't provide us new features. So no treble support, no night light (has to use twilight), no power button navigation. Just oreo 8.0 with a new security patch. And for this they need so much time [emoji52]

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] LoadGamePL:
I had the same problem. Turns out you need to download "Large Address Aware" program, treat adb.exe with it, so adb could see files larger than 2GB.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Meia:
Think that might be the issue in your case as from what I've found in ota matedata file, it says

"sourceDisplayVersion": "NPLS26.118-20-5-11"

and also

"minVersion": "Blur_Version.26.241.14.griffin.retail.en.US"

NPLS26.118-20-5-11 - is the 7.1.1 with Dec security patch.

Blur_Version.26.241.14.griffin.retail.en.US - I think it should be the same as above but have no way to confirm.

---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

I think you should double check your ota file.

Mine has 1.37 GB (1,472,484,271 bytes)

Yesterday I posted checksums of my OTA which flashed OK so I think anyone trying to flash this OTA should be careful and check the checksums in order to avoid errors and hardbricks...

Checksums as follows:

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] LoadGamePL:
Thanks, but I already installed it and everything works as it should.

You're right, the ota is actually smaller that 2gb. Still, I had that problem and Large Address Aware fixed it.

Unzip this on desktop or where you want and also paste ota.zip file in this folder

then use adb sideload process

Hi, I'm on MotoZ model XT1650-03 RETEU with TWRP, magisk and custom rom RR5.8.5 (based on Nougat 7.1.2), with December 5th security patch

Can I go directly with the above ADB sideload procedure using Blur_Version.27.11.58.griffin.retail.en.US file?

Or do I need to flash something else via fastboot commands first?

At the end of the procedure will my MotoZ be back to full stock (no root, stock recovery and rom and also relocked bootloader)?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Meia:
I wouldn't risk to flash this OTA over a custom ROM as I have no idea what the OTA brings inside exactly ( bootloader, modem, recovery, partition mapping, etc )

In your case I'd go stock and BL lock first and than flash OTA.

It's double work, I know, but it's the safe way that should work...

This one won't take you there because it won't lock the bootloader.

Think the second link that you posted should be OK.

Before trying I'd read that whole thread just to make sure there are no steps missing....

And unfortunately YES, there is a risk of hardbrick for sure, you're writing directly to the phone memory, if you get a corrupt file while downloading or your pc goes off during this process, it's a sure one...

Otherwise you should be fine but no one can guarantee you that, all we do via "unusual" methods like adb and fastboot is on our own risk...
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] calinorg:
you'll have to start with an update that's higher than your current bootloader and go step by step from there. It's a very very risky process, because if you flash lower version bootloader you'll end up with a brick, and since Motorola was always very heavy about bootloader downgrades and has some measures against it, I wouldn't recommend it before you read and read and re-read everything few times. I had a few hardbricks myself with Moto phones over the years, and one of them was rip :/

Heck, I wouldn't recommend anyone to flash custom anything on Moto phones because Motorola doesn't give full images, just incremental otas. You still have your first TWRP backup after unlocking? Restore it than go from there (I'd flash stock recovery of that bootloader version first, but it could be very hard to find, especially if you flashed TWRP rather than using fastboot boot method)
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] fazzula:
Thanks Meia and Calinorg

unfortunately I flashed twrp without first booting it to make a backup

I think that GRIFFIN_NPLS26.118-20-5-11_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml is the same stock rom that was installed on my Moto Z before I started to go custom

I think I'll try to go with this procedure, https://xdaforums.com/sho...t=50&nocache=1, using the above file, taking my time to re-read the thread and asking directly to guys in the thread that seem to succeded

I'll post the result here, I think some day of next week or the following

that work for me. But not at the first time, second time i mount system in TWRP and after that it worked. Not sure, if this is needed.

But now with root (latest Magisk 16.2) i have the problem, that i cant mount "system" read/write. I want to use "Gsam Battery Monitor" with "Gsam Root Companion" and i must copy the root app to "system/private-app".

I test with Root Explorer, Totalcommander, ES (all have root access) but i cant set it to write in system. With 7.1.1 i have no problem with same constellation .

Any idea , how to get r/w access on system?

not if you are on stock rom. These updates are digitally signed by Motorola and pass the rigorous bootloader checks.

I had the same thought. Since bootloader now says Sheridan instead of Griffin it's possible that we'll have to sideload next reteu update to go back to griffin bootloader. But all in all ota update is essentially the same as sideloading, so it (in theory) should work
