[General Questions and Answers] yurybx:
I began to get acquainted with the process of obtaining root-access, and was surprised when I found out that there are no standard unix files "passwd" and "master.passwd" in the android. This means that I can not set a password for root-access, and the user will be free to use root-access. How to solve this problem? Maybe I need a custom firmware or a special app? But which one exactly?
[General Questions and Answers] naagdevta:
Supersu or magisk, they get automatically installed when you flash their zip file from custom recovery to root the phone. But not all phones have custom recovery or firmware. Mostly it depends on popularity of device, if your phone is popular many developers would be working on it.

Could someone please let us know if they've had success flashing Android One on a Dual Sim variant, or specifically the XT1900-2 variant? I'm looking for an Android One phone in Australia and the XT1900-2 is the only variant that can be obtained easily.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] abrfilho:
I'm using with XT1900-6, it's a Dual SIM variant.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] christopher68369:
i will confirm that I have received the January patch update from Motorola for the android one and I had no issues. rebooted device and for the 1st minute or two had no cell service however after the update completely installed cell service came back on. also I have heard of some folks able to flash the android one without unlocking their bootloader. it is your choice to flash the firmware but I always feel more secure unlocking bootloader before any flashing to any device for any chance of soft bricks.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] thetolsonator:
Anxious to try this, and while I don't see myself leaving Project Fi anytime soon...how easy is it to go back and do you think with these releases they'll lock you into a certain OS level (ie coming from a long line of sprint LG Gx phones and having to be careful about which version you flashed, else you end up with a brick)
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] christopher68369:
it should be easy enough to go back to stock nougat. I successfully flashed nougat back on to my regular moto x4 without brick. the project fi version and regular version are actually both the same device, same specs, same hardware, but different roms. even if you bought retail instead of fi you can still use project fi sims in either device without hassle. I am pretty sure that is the main reason for google not to add moto x4 stock image for android one. i do not know if they will add a lock in future updates, however i do believe they might. either version in my opinion are great. even stock firmware from Motorola itself are really quite clean compared to other devices that have bloatware from both carrier and device manufacturer. only difference between the two is android one does not have alexa and one button nav on fingerprint scanner like retail. and android one will receive timely updates compared to retail. however retail is getting oreo. so it does feel like moto is stepping up their game with udates
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] thetolsonator:
Yeah, I knew about the similarities in the hardware, I had bought my x4 to use with Fi through Best Buy because I had gotten a better deal than Google/Moto was offering at the time. My fiance will be receiving her x4 A1 in a few days and I'm a bit OS jealous/impatient to be honest. I don't use the alexa stuff nor do I use the 1 button nav but I very much appreciate the quicker updates.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jayman007:
I just want the Moto fingerprint reader stuff on my Android 1. How could I add that without having to flash to the retail firmware? I just got the January update and don't think the retail version got that.

It would be interesting to see how far behind that channel is.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] christopher68369:
others have made it work using these methods. follow the link. I do not know if these actually work since I have not tried on my device. I also really have no interest for it either. however after doing this in order to get rid of it you may have to do a factory reset. also retail version updates will not be as consistent as the android one updates will be. so no, retail will not have the January update like the android one version. however it does seem that android one versions get updated the following months. so update for January gets received in February and February received in march and etc.

[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] RockinAmigo14:
for anyone who has done this, how do they compare? any benefit of A1 over retail besides updates? i don't mind being patient for those.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] christopher68369:
I just received the February update. Some people really like having regular update. The big advantage is that a1 and pixels will be getting Android p over any other device made. Both retail and a1 firmware are actually really quite similar. I did this because I was both bored and curious. The one thing I really do not miss is the Alexa. I really miss the old Moto x commands. For some reason even when I don't say Alexa and the radio or a song says something close to Alexa it would activate the Alexa app. Can be very frustrating at times.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsis83:
Hi, did you install the android one version on a "regular" moto x? Do the updates arrive the same as the Android One version? I have read that by not changing the software channel ota are not installed. If you confirm this I would install it. Thank you.

Sorry for my bad english.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] christopher68369:
yes I have changed it from retail to android one. others have as well.i have not have had a problem since installation. I received the January security install near same time as others. the February update was received yesterday. it would be nice for others to be able to tell others if they installed it and were successful. the only ones I know for sure that will not flash are the amazon prime versions. those are the xt1900-07 models. follow the instructions and you should be good. from what I understand the updates on a1 come straight from google servers. with the amount of money they make I'm sure its no problem sending them out all at once where Motorola sends their update through their servers and roll out in stages, along with making sure the updates are supported through the cellphone carrier.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] abrfilho:

I have installed the rom of android one but my software channel is still reteu with what it seems that the updates will not arrive to me (now I do not have updates). Can someone confirm it ?.

Info:

Model: XT1900-7

Software variant: google_fi

Software channel: reteu

Version: 8.0.0

Security patch: December 2017

No. Compilation: OPW27.57-25-2
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] radjad:
I also flashed OPW27.57-23-2 on a reteu XT1900-5 device and am also seeing this behaviour.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsis83:
I understand that the software channel has not been changed to retus there are no updates.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] radjad:
Yes, just to be completely explicit my software channel is also still on reteu. Is your bootloader still unlocked?
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsis83:
I haven't unlocked it.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] radjad:
OK, thanks for that. I wanted to check if that was the cause of the lack of OTA offers, but I guess not.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jayman007:
I was referring to both that and the MotoKey feature that allows you to use your phone to login to your windows machine as well as webpages.

I have them both working now on my A1 and I'm quite pleased.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] christopher68369:
Software channel is still retus
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] christopher68369:
I was wondering if anything has changed concerning updates. Have you received either the January or February update yet? Since your bootloader was still locked I'm wondering if everything flashed but bootloader kept software channel locked. It turns out that you can actually switch software without issue. Happened to someone on a Moto z. They we're able to flash from reteu to return.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsis83:
I can not update ota because they do not appear. I do not know how to change the software channel.

[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] christopher68369:
Been over 45 mins now looking all over. Some people have thoughts on what to try. Many attempts include rooting however some people have had issues with updates after rooting. I'm wondering if the software channel is actually encoded like the way an imei is. Either way it goes they say even if you unlock your bootloader software channel stays the same. Have you tried rebooting in to bootloader and using just adb to flash Oreo bootloader, fsg, and modem files separately to see the status? Is a1 booting and showing official firmware instead of modified? If it says official with a1 then it is possible the EU software channel has not either made or sent out to EU models
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsis83:
I just installed the rom as explained in this post. I do not have the knowledge, nor enough time to do tests. I have been investigating and I have not found anyone who has been able to change the software channel. [emoji17]

I have locked bootloader indian version Moto x4 can someone plz help me can i install android one version if yes how to do it start to end process.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] sleeptab:
Locked bootloader is no problem, just follow this link: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75377622&postcount=4

However, no OTA Security Patches for your device (at least as long bootloader is locked) for the moment.

Does anybody know if it's possible to install OTA-Updates with TWRP (flashing these Zips)?
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] abrfilho:
Yes, it's the brazilian model, I didn't unlocked the bootloader, since it's a official firmware you don't have to unlock but because of 6 variant software channel we cannot receive any updates, retbr only supports the retail ROM.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] christopher68369:
I do not believe it will be possible. I know earlier Moto x version would not do it in a non stock recovery. People on the Moto x4 version are not able to update after installing super su for root. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling stock recovery it will not update and throw out errors. So they ended up reflashing the whole firmware just for that update
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsis83:
Without OTA updates it does not make sense to install the Android One rom on our X4. We will wait for a possible solution.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] FuraX51:
True. I unlocked my bootloader (XT1900-7 European model) and then install Project Fi ROM. No OTAs updates because i'm still on "reteu" canal update. I tried to relock the bootloader, and then install the ROM again, but same result. Finally, I tried to flash OTAs (Jan, Feb here) through stock recovery adb sideload method, and still no success...

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

I found this here, a possible way to change the software update channel through fastboot. I tried to made this way : "fastboot oem config carrier projectfi" but apparently, no effect...
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jsis83:
that command doesn't work.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] christopher68369:
Have you tried adding the Jan or Feb updates to your memory card, boot in stock recovery and select install update from zip in memory allocation or did you just try sideloading adb?

[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] KenNashua:
So I read through this thread and it's very confusing because of the mixing of European, Brazilian, and Indian update channels. I'm unclear what the default update channels are for the Android One model vs the unlocked US retail version and if you cross-flash the US unlocked alexa version to the Android One model, do you now get updates identically to the ProjectFi model?
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kleeman7:
I agree, some people are saying they got updates, others did not. I needs to be clarified a bit more. Maybe include your phone model and update channel in your posts. I am only using this phone temporarily while I wait for my employer to order our new phones. But I would love to move to the android one firmware, currently on Unlocked Moto X4, XT-1900-1.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] irios86:
Just chiming in to confirm that this method worked for flashing my XT1900-7 Dual Sim EU variant. It's the 3/32GB version.

I unlocked the bootloader because I originally just wanted root to remove some apps in the stock build. The Moto App notifications were really annoying me, specifically the location based suggestion cards. GMaps already generates commute information based on home/work locations so I couldn't stand that Moto Apps wanted to do the same thing. I got a bit too happy with TiBackup and messed up boot. No biggie, figured I'd try the A1 version.

It's been a long time since I've rooted an Android phone since my last two were the Nexus 5 and 5X. Anyone successfully remove all of the Moto Apps?

Edit: I tried to get an OTA, but not dice.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] christopher68369:
From what we have seen it looks like the retus software channel for now is receiving updates. Their is no March update yet however the updates do work and retus software channel is the one with updates. It may be just retus for now
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] david11000:
so what your saying is i can take this android one firmware and flash to my moto x4 witch i bought at best but here in the us and get faster updates ?

Unlock the bootloader

---------- Post added at 04:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 AM ----------

Best way I found to do it is download all files

Unzip firmware

Then unzip the adb tool

Make sure to unzip the adb fastboot tool in with the firmware with all the files just not under the folder it needs to be in the actual firmware folder

Put phone in bootloader mode

Connect to PC

Click the bat file that was unziped from the adb zip and should be in with all the files in the firmware folder

Then let it do it's thing

Do a factory reset after it's done

So put the adb files in the software files everything should be in the unzipped firmware folder as one
