Possible incryption error while updating. Unfortunately the only solution I know to this is to factory reset the phone. The phone should reboot correctly after this.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] MrBr1ckfy:
I see.. When I sideloaded OTA.zip, I wiped data/factory reset and wipe cache 4 times. Then, I started phone and configured it.

In theory, I've done the factory reset, didnt I?

Btw, my phone does not require PIN to start. I dont know why, because in settings it marks as encrypted, but this is fine to me, haha.

EDIT: New factory reset didnt work.

Hello, just a quick question since I can't find an answer in this and other threads as well.

I've got an unbranded and unlocked dual sim Moto Z - XT1650-03 (with a locked bootloader for now).

Does this update work with this Moto Z variant? if yes, will the dual sim capability still work?

I'm still on 7.1.1 - 1st December security patch.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] thijsniehof:
I do not yet use dual sim, but the phone detects the second sim slot, and says no sim installed..

So I presume it works...

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] thijsniehof:

Be very careful doing the replacement, make sure to heat the screen evenly, start taking it off from the top, and slide from the sides carefully, do NOT open the screen too much, before you remove the screen ribbon, if not you will crack the screen, it is EXTREMELY sensitive.

Looks like I can't get the OTA files from the Motorola OTA Link Generator Tool.

Apparently for this specific MOTO Z there isn't an update ready.

Thanks for the tip - I have ordered all the right equipment I think so will thread carefully. I reckon I have nothing much to lose at this stage as the phone is unusable and just sitting in the cupboard; and my wife only had about 14 months use. I will be happy just to get another year of use out of this if I succeed. If I fail, it will be a fun project and I will have the tools for a similar project in future! The local repair shop would not do it so this is the only option left. Regardless, I will need a lot of convincing to buy another Moto phone going forward.

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] TELiNDUS:
Good afternoon!

I ask for help, I did everything according to the instructions (also repeated the installation - repeatedly, with the removal of the magisk). But everything stops at the boot stage.

Phone - X1650-03.

The loader is unlocked.

OS 7.1.1. is updated to 8.0.0. OPL27.76-51.

Security update on March 1, 2018.

Used files from the topic's header.

I was trying to set 16.0, 16.1, 16.2., 16.3 - magisk.

The installation runs without errors, but when it starts, it hangs on the "bootloader unlocked" logo, only for the sink core "bad key", and for the ruled device instead of this message, "N/A". Even when charging is connected, a screen with a "zipper" is loaded, but a further charging screen - "charge level, etc.".

Resetting to the mains cores returns the phone to work.

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

You can put an update from the header, and put it on reteu. Looks like the update file is one. My update went smoothly.

Do you see the drain during use or when the phone is in standby?

I have good battery life in standby, using Greenify that is possibly helping. But during use it is draining fast :/ Have not found any solution so far.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] djeniuss:
That's the same challenge I am facing. You may have 80% battery and just a reboot will take you down to 4%. It wasn't so when I was on Nougat. I hope Motorola will fix this battery issue in Oreo ASAP.

That sounds like the battrry hardware problem that people are writing about. If you have warranty left, exchange the battery.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] djeniuss:

Just to be clear, I will sideload via ADB, right? Any other instructions? And the link is forbidden.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] lesbianu:
That is the full firmware to flash with fastboot commands if you unlocked the bootloader. For OTA sideload you need the OTA file.

Here it is: https://yadi.sk/d/XxUjxThj3VZPrS

I used it to upgrade from 7.1.1 to 8.0.0, side loaded it on my Sheridan RETEU.

Can I upgrade to android Oreo?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Adeq94:
My moto Z (xt1650-03) stuck on android 7.0. No OTA Updates available. I want to get 8.0 but i have no idea what version should i choose to install.

Current version - RETEU - android 7.0 - NPL25.86-31 (security patch february 2017).

I should update android to 7.1.1, then 8.0. But what should i flash via adb? Start with [griffin_npls25.86-30-12_cid50_subsidy-default_regulatory-default_cfc.xml.zip], then [Blur_Version.26.51.19.griffin.retail.en.US.zip]?

Is it possible (in my case) to have reteu and oreo (i want to keep RETEU status)?

Edit:

Problem solved. I installed [GRIFFIN_NPLS25.86-30-12_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml], after that i got all ota updates via wifi.

Using the first post of this topic I updated my unlocked Sheridan RETEU from OPL27.76-51 (March security patch) to the latest OPLS27.76-51-5 (May security patch).

I flashed the GRIFFIN_OPL27.76-51_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip and after reboot I installed the OTA "naturally" directly from the Motorola servers. If you do not receive the update notification, you can try to sideload the OTA archive.

The commands I used for re-flashing OPL27.76-51 are:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin

Firmware file - GRIFFIN_OPL27.76-51_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

OTA from OPL27.76-51 to OPLS27.76-51-5 (for adb sideload) - Blur_Version.27.211.6.griffin.retail.en.US.zip

Hope this information will help someone! :good:

You update from 7.1.1 to 8.0 without PC? Just put the zip file to root directory and install it via "software update"?

If you receive the notification update, you can install the OTA "naturally" (directly from Motorola's servers).

If not, you can sideload it: reboot to stock recovery, select Apply update from ADB and install it from your PC using - adb sideload otafilename.zip command.

I have done a search on the forum and couldn't find an answer. I have a rooted note 8 running Nougat 7.1.1. I have an older version of ES File Explorer (did use the newest version but rolled back because I didn't like it).

How can I access my external sdcard with a file explorer? I originally thought it was because of the newest ES File Explorer but when I rolled back I couldn't find it either. I can do a search for a specific file on the sdcard but I don't see it in a directory. So if I don't know the file name, I can't get to the external card. Any ideas?

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SamothXV:
Hi everyone,

I was running CM 14.2 or something, which keept crashing so I decided to try PureNexus 7.1.2, which I didn't install with google apps so it was useless (no WIFI no Bluetooth & there wasn't an option to tick to connect to the PC). I went to the Recovery menu to use a USB Stick via OTG to unzip google apps to make it work. But I could not access external storage. I wiped everything (cache/Delvik/factory reset) telling myself adb would work later.

It didn't. This happend a week ago i've tried at least a dozen tutorials but still I don't find anything working in my case.

I followed tutorials showing how to install the correct driver through the Manager, but this one won't show "other devices" in which is meant to appear my device.

I tried the different ports on the computer and I know my cable is ok because the Nexus charges from it. I tried changing things with permissions and things as indicated on MS Q&A website.

I tried the GUI version of ADB : did not find the device. I will try to do these same processes from another computer but I doubt this will change anything, so....

Please help, I'm freaking desperate.

Thanks for your attention.

Samoth

Edit : I'm sorry if I wasn't clear : since I wiped everything the damn thing won't boot.

Moreover, when it did boot I didn't have access to developer options since i did not install the ROM correctly.

Edit 2 : The cable was not right AND the right port of my computer doesn't want to recognise the device, eventhough it works great for anything else.

I couldn't get back to stock Android because of... Opengapps already installed O.o eventhough i wiped everything off.

I figured I'd give it a last try reinstalling CM but newer, worked perfectly.

Thanks for everyone helping me !

So, don't worry about developer/adb and do the following:

- boot in fastboot mode (when off press power+vol.dn)

- connect it to your PC

- check if N7 registers on PC

- if not, try another cable and solutions from the linked thread

- if yes, install new CM14.1 or https://developers.google.com/android/images

[T-Mobile LG G6 Questions & Answers] TekJunkie1011V2:
I bought my LG G6 3 weeks ago and was super excited with this being my first water resistant phone, But I've noticed a handful of problems tied to performance and lag. The performance issue that showed up first is on certain apps like Geometry Dash and Pixel Gun it kind of stutters but doesn't actually lag. Pixel Gun also gets this phone considerably hot with battery temps reaching 37 Celsius, but 31 Celsius max on Asphalt 8 Airborne, weird. Another thing that happened today is I tried to press the home button from the app store but it wouldn't actually go to the home screen after tapping it 5 times and the vibration feedback vibrates 5 times in response. The last issue I've had is laggy animations but I'm not sure if that's a problem. The weirdest problem I've had is Horizontal white lines showing on the screen for a brief 3 seconds while on the messenger app. Turning this in for a replacement is something I want to do as a last resort as I really want to like this phone. All of this started happening about 1 1/2 weeks after buying so i'm also wondering if this is normal and not a cause for worry.
