[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] ululi:
I think I may have found the right recipe. The trick is to check for updates while NOT on WiFi. So move away from WiFi coverage, but still within Cell coverage, with Data on. Check for updates. It will say that an update is available and will be download when within WiFi range. Move back to where you have WiFi, and bingo, it will start downloading. I did it twice yesterday afternoon, once to go from the Sept to the Oct SPL, and then from the Oct SPL to the Nov SPL, which is the last available update according to the ATT page. All of this with my Cricket SIM. WHy this works is beyond my pay grade to figure out. I will eagerly wait for the next update to be posted to see if this trick works consistently. Again,

this seems to work with my ATT branded phone.

My ATT Z2 force, starting from last evening (1/24/2018), kept getting security update, from September, 2017. Then this morning, October 2017 and November 2017. Does this mean we are going to get Oreo update soon ?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] superhtchd2:
So I've had my Moto zforce 2 for 3 days now. We're is the Oreo update ? T-Mobiles site says it was released Dec 22nd ?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] darkghost柚:
Dude..Let us know when u get Oreo update....So am I
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] superhtchd2:
Anyone on TMobile receive the ota update ?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] TheLooq:
There are issues with calling and sms on the T-Mobile variant. The update has been pulled while they sort out the issues.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] superhtchd2:
Well that makes sense why I'm not seeing it then.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] kingstu:
I am still not able to get the AT&T update past June. I tried the reboot into recovery and nothing. Is there a way to manually install the update from an SD card which would allow for OTA updates in the future?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] amarryat:
Good. On my account we got 2 of them for Christmas. A few days after Christmas, one of them updated to Oreo. At this point, the Galaxy S7 Edge on our account could not hear the Z2 Force. Went through everything with T-Mobile support including network settings reset, factory resetting both the Samsung and Motorola phones. Didn't fix it. Meanwhile, the Z2 Force that was still on Nougat was fine. A few days later, it also updated to Oreo, and now neither Z2 Force can be heard on the Samsung. I hope they get this mess cleaned up soon since it's been a month.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] TheLooq:
It seems to be only between those two phones. Until the next update/patch is released, the workaround is to disable VoLTE in call settings on the z2.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] lcc014:
Got AT&T update to 8.0.0 this morning. :)
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] kendallgreen:
I received notice of the Tmobile Oreo update, downloaded it, but cannot install it. It only says something went wrong and didn't install the update. I have the bootloader unlocked and Magisk installed. I followed the instructions for Magisk dual partition updates. I uninstalled Magisk using Restore Images and did not reboot. I went to System Updates and downloaded the update again. It never went to Security Update Installing, step 1. I am on Magisk v 16.0 which passes the SafetyNet check, ctsProfile: true and basicIntegity: true. At this point, should I completely uninstall Magisk, flash the OreoFlashAll.zip or the NASH_TMO_C_OCX27.109-36_subsidy-TMO-regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip? Or something different?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] skimask:
Let us know if you lose the animated home button as I did after the At&t update. I asked the question in the room and no one answered. Hopefully I didn't break any rules by asking here. Thank you.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 20degrees:
What do you mean by the animated home button?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] TheLooq:
I haven't rooted this device, but the rule before has always been once you root you no longer take OTAs.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] skimask:
Whenever you longpressed the home button in 7.1.1 there was animation just before assistant popped up.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Kaesberg:
when i long press the home button i do get the animation before the assistant launches. i do have an issue that has been bugging me i am not able to adjust my external speaker after about 30min of use the volume locks up at the half way mark. i am not able to adjust it up and down i have to reboot to correct this issue
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] skimask:
I don't know about the speaker issue are you on Android 8.0.0 ATT variant? The animation should be four different colored circles merging into the circle (home) softkey.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Kaesberg:
so i tested it and i get an animation when i use the one button nav, so i switched to the on screen keys and your correct its missing.

i did a factory reset on my phone and i still have this sound issue just letting everyone know i am working on a fix for it. im not scared to brick this thing, because i have my pixel and another moto z2 to fall back on. if i make progress i will post it.

Oreo Update

For all who could not receive the Android 8 Oreo update and need it:

I was finally able to install the update through the Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant (poorly designed tool but at least it's a work around):

https://support.lenovo.com/il/en/downloads/ds101291

Before starting, you have to tap your build number 7 times ( Apps > Settings > System > About phone then tap Build number 7 times. Tap the Back icon to navigate back to System then select Developer options.)

Tap USB debugging to turn on. BTW when you connect it to the smart assistant, there will be a couple of popups on the phone screen that you have to give permission to.

The first dozen times I tried it, it would stall at 51% no matter what settings i picked. I finally got it to work by doing the following:

Once it recognized the phone (has to be powered on), I went to the update tab and let it see my phone and get ready to start the update.

Next I turned off the phone, then held the down volume, and powered back on (into fastboot.) Then I started the upgrade. It took a while but actually completed when I came back from breakfast.

Then, I had a new problem which appears all over the net: my finger print reader didn't work anymore. I tried a full wipe/restore from the settings, but it didn't help. There's directions all over the net to sideload files, etc, but I didn't do any of that.

I went back into the smart assistant and instead of doing the upgrade, I did the rescue (pick Moto Phone, then select your device from the drop downs (moto z 2nd gen). With this process, it actually tells you to turn off your phone, then power-on with the volume down depressed.

After the Rescue, my finger print reader was reconfigured and is now working great.

I hope someone else finds this helpful. I was very eager to get the update and make sure my phone didn't brick or something while I could still return it. Good luck and comment with your results if you give it a try.

[Magisk] dawnc:
My devices is Huawei Honor V10 with Emui 8.0 (OREO), I can't find the stock boot.img by extracting the official full OTA update.app.

I got the stock boot.img from a third party rom for V10 (Kangvip mod rom for v10 B122) , and patched it in Magisk manager.

I use 'fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img ' to flash the pathed boot. And i got boot loop...

There's isn't a custom recovery for V10, so i can't flash supersu.

Anyone got a solution for this?
[Magisk] madbat99:
Isn't it fastboot flash boot boot.img ?

Here is the upgrade to 1.57.00.00. Enjoy peeps! :cool:

Please please please please search and research before posting your questions. There is another thread around here with previous radio versions that has pretty much answered all common questions...also other threads around that most likely have answered the uncommon questions. ;)

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] Pawel062:
i have noticed a bit better battery than 1.50, better signal, and i believe it holds on to a weaker 3g signal before going back to edge. cant test the last one except for yesturday bc it seems like my area has been fully turned on. yest i got a weak 3g signal so thats how i knew it kept a weak 3g signal. today i have full bars of 3g.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] LTxda:
I find that it now recognizes the network as UMTS where it didn't before, it hangs on to weaker signals much better, faster to recognize 3G/HSDPA signals, at least one more bar in certain areas and less dropped calls. Can't comment on battery atm since i'm on a test ROM which is highly unstable. :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] Fabrizio:
How?

How can I use this nbh file?

How can I flash into my X7500?

Thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] Goatmaster:
Here Fabrizio:
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] cornelius:
OK... here my report:

Yes, better signal receipt...

more 3G signal...

Now i can make call in my 1st floor house.. (I used can't make any call in my 1st floor with 1.45)

I'm happy with it..

Thanks...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] sergiopi:
I've tested here (Italy, TIM) and comparing 1.50 and 1.57:

1) In weak 3G signals it drops and stays to EDGE, reducing the 3G-EDGE swapping

2) More reliable signal level (with old RADIO I had "apparent" weak coverage but "no signal" trying to place a call)

3) Longer battery life (may be related to less 3G swap or to a reduced refresh)

4) Less 3G coverage (in this moment the phone is exactly in the same place were it was during the last 2 weeks, and were I had a weak 3G (but working) data connection. I have only EDGE now. If I put the phone in flight mode and back to normal I have the same, old, weak, 3G signal, one bar, but after 2-5 seconds it drops and stays on EDGE, full bars)

EDITED

5) much better voice communications in areas were weak 3G was locked instead of 1.57 good edge signal lock.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] brucewilsonpa:
I followed the Wiki process for flashing the new 1.57 radio rom from my Advantage 7500 mini-SD storage card, but all I get is "installing..." and nothing happens. I then reformatted the SD card to ensure it is FAT32 copied the ATHEIMG.nbh file to it again and tried -- same result. I changed name to RUU_signed.nbh and put it into the folder in place of the Athena 6.1 nbh -- it tried to install, got to the same screen then timed-out.

Any suggestions on what might be wrong with my setup or approach?

Thanks!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] sergiopi:
Is your athena SUPERCID? Have you used HARDSPL?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] brucewilsonpa:
I think it is -- I recall running HARDSPL many months ago. I'll check it to see for sure.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] brucewilsonpa:
Ran Olipros HARDSPL and tried to again install radio rom 1.57 from my SD card but still the same -- screen says "Loading..." but nothing happens.

Any other ideas?

Thanks!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] zeer:
use small capacity minisd/microsd+adapter card, not SDHC - i guess bootloader doesn't know about different sector sizes...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] brucewilsonpa:
Thanks -- I have erased/reformatted my SD and the only file on it is the ATHEIMG.nbh -- I've tried the SD card install and installing it from my pc desktop -- same result -- screen says "Loading..." but nothing happens (when using desktop installer it eventually times out and give me error 260). I have a hard time believing the size of the SD card would cause this but I'm willing to get a smaller one and try it if that's the only alternative.

Thanks again.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] PBL1:
those that cannot install from memory card, did they tried installing from desktop by using the radio install that came for example with radio 1.38 by swaping the nbh ?

that is how I did it, of course following all the warnings ( memory card removed , olipro unlocked etc....)

I though to mention it even at risk to state the obvious in case helps somebody

As always at your own risk.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] shortyboy:
you should also put a disclaimer stating that flashing any radio will HARD RESET your phone..ive noticed a better battery life...although i used to be able get a gps lock pretty quick in my room but with this radio it took alot longer.but if im outside i get a gps lock pretty quick.i havent been to any stores lately so i cant test signal strength yet,but ill report back once i do...thanx for the radio...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] sergiopi:
Try to download the 1.50 radio package, replace the .nbh file with the 1.57 one and flash from PC.

If you still have an Error 260 (is an "open port error") could be realated to a usb connection problem.

"ERROR [260] : UPDATE ERROR

This error occurs when there is an "open port error" before upgrading the CE ROM image.

Solution: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter an "OPEN PORT ERROR" again, reset your computer and try again. "

Remember, radio flashing on ATHENA means HARD RESET too, so you can Try also to hard reset your device before then connect and retry flashing.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] brucewilsonpa:
Thanks -- that did it! Finally got 1.57.00.0 installed. I appreciate your inputs.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] toyfreak:
I had the opportunity to drive a 50-mile stretch of road where I had little to no coverage at all and I can report the 1.57.00.00 radio upgrade has noticeably improved my X7501's weak signal performance. I now have coverage about 50% of the time where I had maybe 10% coverage before (all estimated, of course).

This is the update as a complete package.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] Karmarock:
Nice things. Helps a lot. I still need to HARDSPL the athena before applying it. right?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] mabury10:
No you can just use it. It only flashes the radio part.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] fortissimo:
It says "image file corrupted" , Error 270 . I downloaded a complete 1.50 and replaced the file and the same result. Does it need to fix some checksum first?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] techntrek:
When I upgraded to 1.57 a few weeks ago I did as sergiopi suggested and replaced the .nbh file in the 1.50 package with the 1.57 file. No other changes were needed.

I did run Olipro's unlocker first, which you might try if you haven't yet. I think the latest one is under the "how not to brick your..." thread.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] mabury10:
That what I did for people who don't like changing files. Above they can just download and execute. ;)

hi

if i have read the last few posts correctly then the 1.57 radio link as provided by marbury does not require my 7501 to be unlocked and when run will not hard reset my device so I won't have to re-enter all info?

Is this correct?

thanks for responses.

cheers

is it me or does this radio just make your device run slow, ive tried it on every rom and have nothing but problems with it. does anyone like this radio or have any good experiences?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] techntrek:
No slowdown on my device. This radio patch fixed bluetooth static heard in both directions when I was running 1.47. I won't go back.

dumb question

can i run this from vista?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] PashaK:
would like an answer to this to. my athena x7501 is currently standard, have not used hardspl and want to go to ap4.0 which as some might know require radio 1.50 or higher. so i would like to run marbury's update for radio 1.57 (as my radio is 1.47) and go straight to ap4.0 and bypass the older hardspl as i have had issues with it. (as seen in my previous posts)

any help is appreciated

Radio upgrading to 1.57

Im currently on radio version 1.16 and using pk.3.0 rom. (i dont know why my radio did not upgrade before i installed the pk 3.0 even though i followed the procedures on how to upgrade it-anyway, its working fine so i didn't bother upgrading it anymore). Not until now that there is a 1.57 radio version that I would like to upgrade it already. My question is how I can do the upgrade from my current version to 1.57. Ive read in the previous posts that it has to be installed in the sd card? I tried downloading Mabury10's link but only get garbled characters in my computer. Is there a step-by-step procedure on how to do the radio upgrade that you could give me? Your help will be very much appreciated.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] auramae:
I am obviously a moron

The second 4.0 was available, I downloaded it an read the instructions.

I need a new radio and have download 1.57, but I can not flash it from the SD card (formatted FAT32, changed name ti ATHEIMG.nbh, entered bootloader and all I get is white screen that says "loading" forever) and I can't find instructions on how to upgrade a radio (have only ever upgraded complete ROM.)

I have spent the entire time since the thing was released looking for directions on how to upgrade the radio.

Feeling like a moron, but needing help.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] auramae:
I added the 1.57 radio to my old 3.0 ROM package and ran the .EXE

Hopefully it will work.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] auramae:
nope. that did not work. Still have radio 1.47.51

damn.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] auramae:
OK, this was the solution I sought. I just didn't unzip far enough to find the update utility. (It was a few clicks past the beginning.)

Told you I was a moron.

Thanks!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] roach7:

any advice? i ran the ROMUpdateUtility.exe trying to update my radio to 1.57 but now when i boot i just see loading... please don't tell me i bricked my device... that'll suck.

I have been searching for coherent instructions on upgrading the athena, radio, rom, and unlocking. I see tons of posts where people have talked about the aftermath of their upgrades (but i cannot find a process for it) can anyone point me in the right direction? All of my searches turn up utterly useless info and the wiki is awful. any help? any one?

RT:confused:
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] techntrek:
From a stock ROM on a 7501:

0. Backup your important data, fully charge the battery.

1. Get the bootloader updater from the thread "Sticky: Hard-SPL, Or How to Not Brick Your PDA Ever Again"; this upgrades your bootloader so you can flash the new radio.

2. Find the thread with the 1.57 radio file, this one doesn't have a full updater just the file for the 1.57 radio.

3. Find the full radio updater for 1.50.

4. Unzip the 1.50 updater and replace the 1.50 file with the 1.57 file.

5. Run the updater to upgrade to 1.57. It will force a hard reset.

6. Run the AP 4 updater, following the instructions on that thread carefully.

Image Version 2.19.453.4 to 1.57.00.00

I downloaded the "all in one package" from Mabury on this thread. When I run it on my X7501 (already unlocked) it reports my image version as 2.19.453.4 and that it will update it to 1.57. Now, according to be device information my radio is actually 1.47.51.00. My ROM is 2.19.453.4.

This doesn't seem right to me - I'd expect that it would "skip" the image part and just update the radio.

Am I missing something? Is it safe to proceed?

McP
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] mcpell:
Nevermind - figured out that it simply reports what the image is, but actually updates only what is required and isn't something to worry about.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] maverickman:
I have been having trouble with my X7501 where from time to time I do not receive calls. I have tried using the SIM card in the X7501 in other phones and I have had no problem receiving calls in the other phones even when the X7501 will not. There does not appear to be a known particular reason why this is occuring. I have no problem placing calls, just receiving. Also, there is no problem with receceiving and sending data. I have hard reset the device 4 times but no luck. The Radio version is 1.47.51.00, ROM version 2.19.453.4. My question is will upgrading the radio to 1.57 solve this problem (failure to periodically receive calls)? Has anyone else had this problem?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] kevroc:
Can someone check in the phone settings to see if you have the ability to "NOT" update Current Time and Timezone from the Network? I updated to 1.57 and then upgraded to the AP3 and my ability to DE-select that option was gone. Now I'm back to factory rom on my x7501 and the option is back again. Not sure if I want to go through that process again.

On my stock rom with AT&T in the US it's under Settings / Phone / and then there is a Time Zones tab with a check box that's labeled "Automatic change time zone and clock" which I have deselected.

Thanks!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] techntrek:
I'm running AP4, and you have to use the Athena Config app they included to turn on the timezone tab. On the same screen on the Athena Config app they let you turn the sync on and off so enabling the tab isn't really necessary.

I have no idea if they included a similar app in AP3, I never installed that version.
