You're not doing it right. lol. hold on. ?

Download this (1.7gb) link expires in 24hrs

http://sendanywhe.re/5HK6YMFO

Unzip this folder.

Locate file "INSTALL.bat", right click choose edit, look over it for your piece of mind.

Close it.

Plug phone into PC,

Boot phone into BOOTLOADER (not Recovery).

Double click "INSTALL. bat"

After phone reboots, go through setup, skipping as much as possible, except wifi.

Go to Settings>System, check for updates, it will say your up to date, but about a minute later you'll get an update notification. Keep updating until you're at June 1st.

Reboot back to bootloader.

Fastboot Boot twrpalbus.img (also in folder).

Restore from your backup your Recovery, Logo, and Data partitions.

(Or install TWRP fresh if you prefer, but you'll also need to install magisk to get it to stick).

don't restart, go back to Advanced in TWRP, to file explorer, navigate to Data>System, select Locksettings.db, and then delete it. Reboot.

Thank you!, I will download the file, I have not a reliable internet connection here, so it will take a loooong time, like 11 hours. After that I will try the procedure you suggest and I will put here the results.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] kewlzter:
Do make sure you have a full backup.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] GTRONICK:
Ok, I managed to download it, and flashed it. The first try was unsuccessful, because the first command: fastboot flash partition gpt.bin.

This caused the error mentioned above, and all the subsequent commands failed, so I had to reboot the bootloader, and start from the second command: mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

Then, all the other commands were successful, so, I entered them manually:

mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

mfastboot flash logo logo.bin

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash dsp adspso.bin

mfastboot flash oem oem.img

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.10

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.11

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

mfastboot erase modemst1

mfastboot erase modemst2

mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

mfastboot erase cache

mfastboot erase userdata

mfastboot reboot

After the last command, the phone rebooted to bootloader, so I had to manually choose Start pressing the power button, and the phone started normally. I don't want TWRP or Root, so I choosed to configure the phone as a new one. However, more than three hours have passed and no update notification has came up, I mean, the apps are updating right now, but no system update available yet. Other weird thing is, when you hold the power button and choose Reboot, the system reboots to Bootloader everytime, so, I must press the power button in the bootloader screen in the Start option to make the phone boot again.

What should I do to solve this two issues? Thanks in advance!!

EDIT: I solved the bootloader issue with: fastboot oem fb_mode_clear. The system update is still not appearing however ;(
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] kewlzter:
Now that you see you aren't bricking things, don't be so fearful ?.

did you just double click "install.bat"?

Try again using the Fastboot.

I don't know why you are using mfastboot, for some people that works, but I've had issues with it.

Manually check for updates

I've had lots of crazy things happen. one time my wifi didn't work. you gotta keep trying.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] GTRONICK:
[/COLOR]

I had to use mfastboot because fastboot did not work for me, it generates a "core dumped" error on my Linux system. The bootloader problem was solved using:

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

The system update is still not appearing however, I have checked it manually also ;(
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] kewlzter:
Did you check your phone info, making sure you still have IMEI info? and that everything is OK?
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] GTRONICK:
Yeah, I have IMEI info, and I can make and receive calls, and messages. The fingerprint is also working OK, NFC, Bluetooth, etc. All seems to be working normally.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] kewlzter:
Hmm. well, you have two options. Hunt down an updated Rom to flash.or keep waiting.

Maybe Try flashing your original files using our new improved method?

they must be a newer version than what I sent you.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] GTRONICK:
Sounds interesting, "our new improved method", what method is that :confused: I could try XD.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] kewlzter:
Your original method, wasn't installing anything, Our new and improved method, had got you to where you are now.

Seems reasonable, that you could use this same method, with the files you were trying to install yesterday.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] GTRONICK:
Oh, ok I understand, so, I shoud try to flash the image provided in this thread, instead of yours right?

EDIT: Actually, after checking the versions, the files you sent me are newer than the provided in this thread:

Your version => Build Date: Thu Aug 2 07:38:34 CDT 2018

Thread version => Build Date: Wed Apr 4 07:17:22 CDT 2018
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] kewlzter:
Hmm, check the zip file name, I'm not sure but I think the version I sent you is either the same or newer.

Tomorrow if you are willing, we can try something else. I'll make a clean install TWRP backup of June 1st (minus efs, recovery, and boot), send it to you, and see if you can restore it.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] GTRONICK:
Perfect!, I could try to restore it, thanks a lot! :fingers-crossed:
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] kewlzter:
here you go 3.2gb, link expires in 24hr.

I included Boot, but considering my model is different from yours (09), and that the boot partition is the only one that can brick your phone, I suggest you not restore that partition for safety sake. I included it because you'll need it for future OTA's

Tip: always restore system partition last and separately.

[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] GTRONICK:
Hey!, thanks!. I just ended configuring my phone from other ROM I found here: ALBUS_OPSS27.76-12-25-13_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

I flashed it, and immediately after the first boot, the February security update came up!!. I installed it, and reboooted. Then after few minutes, the June 1 2019 update notification arrived!. I installed it, it took like 20 minutes to install however, but It did, and all is working Ok. Thanks a lot for your Help!. I was trying to lock the bootloader with fastboot oem lock, but it says it will erase all my data, so neeeej, It is not urgent, so I can pass it, I replaced the boot logo instead.

Thank you!!

Working for XT1710-10

Thank you buddy for this. All the Moto Z2 play XT1710-10, if the z.bin method isn't working then try entering the commands manually. That's how it worked for me.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] kevoroid:
i did by mistake! and now no signal! (fingerprint works however)

Any idea how can i get it back?
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] leodexe:
try booting twrp through fastboot

Sherzaman Khan You were trying to flash a RETAIL ROM version

27.76-12-25-13

on your XT1710-02 that has version 27.76-12-42-14

The former has a lower version number than the latter, so the security downgrade error was probably because you were trying to flash the wrong ROM for your device, but if you try to flash the correct ROM it should work again, try with this one instead https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

Did you follow these steps?

Super fast and great battery life (by now).

Because i have XT1710-08 China, Hong Kong, so baseband could give me issues. In your case you can be quite bro :good:

My fingerprint sensor stopped working after update (XT1710-11), even exact point in menu is now missing.... any idea? used a wrong fastboot command or else?
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] St.Noigel:
nice )

But it`ll be better to use RSD lite for flashing ))

Flashed this FW to XT1710-11 without changing *xml (clean flash with all wipes)

- have some issues with SIM cards (on first boot phone can`t see 1st SIM - you need to pull out SIM slot and it will work)

- FPS works fine

- Gesеures works fine

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

Just make clean flash - with ALL wipes.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] KirMit:
I did a clean flash. Or what do you mean? Which fastboot command for "clean" flash?
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
Very likely.

Try a wipe before, then repeat flash with instalador, evading fastboot erase modemst1 and st2, you can do it with notepad++.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
Fastboot flash is much more better in my opinion, some people lost signal and data with rsd, you can see what i have written [MENTION=426884]KirMit[/MENTION], if there are issues you give a wipe from recovery by yourself and here we go.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] St.Noigel:
I always flash FW with RSD (with all wipes and format data in TWRP before flashing) and have no any issues.

By the way - I had some problems when I`m flashing via fastboot.. )
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
Everyone has his personal experience, i have reported what motozbrasil has posted and it works on my XT1710-08, although not mentioned, so to many other persons. And it doesn't wipe data, it always worked for me, so why shouldn't i use it? ;)

Descriptions for noobs wanted, non windos

Hello, interesting to update via fastboot, and get the O

My problem is, all I get is "waiting for phone", when I enter (copy) commands in terminal..

My phone says its in fastboot secure mode ....

Maybee some more info can help us noobs??
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
This 3d is for who already knows how to use fastboot, in this case if you read on motozbrasil, there is an "instalador", moto drivers, rom. You have to do nothing that installing drivers and reboot, connecting phone in fastboot mode, double click on "instalador.bat".

For more specific infos you could read about fastboot everywhere on xda and web.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] Noob4ROM:
I don't use Windos. sorry. Thanks for help..

And the way to get to the right fastbootmode for our Z2 Play is probably somewhere...
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
Commands are in the instalador.bat, sarcasm is poorless.

Fastboot mode: Vol - and POWER

> On Linux

Drivers don't need.

How to install adb/fastboot on linux, macos, win (depends on your distro): https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/

If you are under Ubuntu the easiest way for installing adb-tools is (from terminal):

Command under Terminal (Win/Linux) are:

In some cases (for example XT1710-08) is useful to evade:

for preserving signal and data connection.

If you have a corrupted boot.img and you are not able to flash (like bangood or other do with chinese model), you first have to give that:

First try to give

fastboot erase modemst1 and st2, or wipe all then repeat procedure with instalador.bat without evade nothing. *

Then, if it doesn't work, try to restore EFS, or flash through fastboot the modem for your specular model.

* Your XT1710-01 is listened in motozbrasil linked in 1st post as one of compatible devices, have you read it?

Hello again

It worked with windos....and mfastboot and bat file.

I was on this version of firmware: NPSS26.118-19-22

Tried several ways on Linux with fastboot command, always getting "waiting for phone"

I have the XT1710-09 version and run the whole script (bat) with modem things...and IT WORKED

I have tested a lot with different things, bluetooth/wifi/4G/4G+/VOLTE/GPS, all seems to work OK for me..

[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] zopeon:
I was on NPSS26.118-19-22 with XT1710-09 used the commands with fastboot and did NOT erase the modem files. Looks like everything works fine. Thanks.

I had screwed up before when installing Oreo as it would not boot backup. Tried to flash various nougat but always got failed for the gpt command and had bricked my phone.

Uninstalled the adb (had too much cluster with all the different twrps n files) and reinstalled it and then used this Oreo rom. So I guess no need to flash stock Nugat if you are stuck.

Thank you for sharing your Experience.

fastboot erase modemst2

If you want your modems and

fingerprint sensor

are still working!

Just to confirm, I can flash my XT1710-01 model through fast boot and it won't wipe my device? I'm in the United States, is there anything special I should backup before I flash it?
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
It is listened on motozbrasil, but every case is by itself.

You can backup efs via twrp if you want, but in case you wouldn't like to unlock bootloader you can't.

You shouldn't lose your data like you can see in the thread, but remember that you assume your own risk by doing that procedure.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] cuban11182:
I understand that I'm taking a chance of course. One other question, what is this Installador? Do I need it or just the install bat in the ADB folder?
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
I think you haven't downloaded files.

As you can see, instalador+adb is an archive that contains abd/mfastboot minimal and instalador.bat; this file contains every singol command in the right sequence.

Install.bat attached is a modded of original one, only for english language

Install.sh obviously is for Linux use.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] cuban11182:
I figured it out. Thank you again.

Final question: we loose root once we go to Oreo?
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
Fastboot flash /system, so you lose it ;)

You are welcome

I know it's listed as a compatible device variant but can anyone in the US with XT1710-01 (unlocked) confirm that using the fastboot rom won't break anything like modem, fps sensor, ota, LTE coverage, etc?

How is your phone now? Did you get the fingerprint back?

I have a XT1710-08, flashed everything, didn't evade anything, and then got no signal - of course as it's with wrong baseband.

Then I re-flashed modem and fsg files from previous nougat firmware, signals went back but I cannot find the fingerprint option like you.

Tried it's the same, with old baseband no fingerprint, with new baseband fingerprint goes back but no signal... I guess I need the new Chinese baseband which is compatible with OREO?

I have no idea for now, i have tried several times without success, my bootloader can't return locked.

In your case maybe you could flash evading some commands, they change from model to model, in my case xt1710-08, i have described how to, for xt1710-11 KirMit has written about, as in the first post of this thread.
