You won't be able to take an OTA update now that you installed TWRP and rooted. You'll have to wait until the whole firmware is released now. Unless you only booted TWRP instead of flashed, and backed up every partition to restore for updating
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
Yeah I only booted TWRP to flash Magisk and I saw it backup the boot image in the process. On the Nokia 8 that's enough to do OTAs by temporarily uninstalling Magisk with the uninstaller and restoring the original boot image. Not on the G6 ?
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
Should be, as long as everything you've done is systemless. I've seen some have success, some failiure. Dm verity doesn't want to let the device boot up if it's not encrypted, so that might not work. I usually wait until the whole firmware is released (usually within a few days) and flash that without the userdata part so it doesn't get wiped.

Or use RSDlite and select the servicefile not the flashfile.

Sorry for OT.

This thread is for pie soak test.

So, I was on november update and used the same file as you, it updated but it boots, and 10% of the lower part of the screen is black, every 10 seconds the screen flicks and after 2 or 3 minutes it reboots automatically, I factory reset it through recovery, but it's still the same.... Any help with that?
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
You need to post all info... Device specifics, and anything else useful. If many users had no issues, there is something different about your set up. The more information you give, the better.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kian86:
It's a 3 ram / 32 rom version xt1925-1 on november update.... it flashed correctly then it went on problems, I factory reseted it but it's still the same.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ankurk91:
Got it working

Got, Android 9.0 running today. :good:

My moto g6 was on November patch.

Running smoothly, no issue so far.

One can find the link to OTA zip on comment #198 on this thread. It is 1.4 GB in size.

Missing features:

Screen rotate icon in navigation. PS. Got it working

Digital wellbeing. PS. Only available for Pixel phones

Wifi hotspot gets turn off after sometime automatically. PS. This is feature in Pie, not a bug.

[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] flargen:
I'm having the exact same problem on my UK XT1925-5 version, 3gb ram/32gb rom also with the November security patch. It is super unstable and reboots between a few seconds to a couple of minutes of trying to use it. Even after clearing user data from recovery, the problem persists.

Does anyone know if there's something I can do?

I used the update file from the this post:
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dadud:
Digital wellbeing is a pixel feature. You can get it by flashing the pix3lfy magisk module. Though it broke my hotspot whenever I flashed the module.

I went back to stock numerous times and even took otas.you have to flash stock boot and recovery in twrp.as it refuses to flash in fastboot due to a "bad key"

Edit wrong quote sorry ?
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
We'll see with the next OTA update but I only booted with TWRP so flashing stock recovery wouldn't be necessary. Also Magisk normally knows how to restore the stock boot when you use its "uninstall" feature to allow the OTA to proceed. Then on the Nokia 8 before rebooting you have to reinstall Magisk to the "other slot" before rebooting. Apparently the G6 also has that "two slot" setup ?
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] RomLord14495:
No the g6 has A slot only what's ur model number what variant.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] webvan:
I see, thanks, so then you'd have to uninstall Magisk in Magisk Manager to restore the stock boot image, let it reboot and do the OTA update and then go to fastboot to start TWRP and install Magisk again ?

Not sure of the exact reference (can it be seen in settings ?) but it's the Euro 3/32Gb.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] luis dambrowski:
Can I install on the version purchased in Brazil?
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] RomLord14495:

Loud speaker issue

Anyone facing loud speaker issue?

I am hearing too much bass, sound like Distortion.

There is no way to disable Dobly EQ. The app does not allow it.

I disabled the app but no luck.

Tried with various music players, Spotify, Youtube.

Headphone does not have any issue.

Please help.

P.S.

Hard reset the phone today, audio is better now, but not like Oreo.

Still has too much bass.

P.S.

It is happening again after few days, sound is cracking.

Is this removed by Moto or is this a problem in my phone only?
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lionboy33:
It is removed by Moto, so you can't enable it. Only the fp gestures from Moto are available.

However I read something about Stock gestures coming to the G6 Plus so we might get lucky and get them as well

I'm stumped ! I unlocked the bootloader, rooted and sideloaded the Pie soak test and everything was fine but now all of a sudden my PIN code doesn't work anymore after not using the G6 for a few days (I got the phone ready for a relative) ! Now I did change it recently but I'm pretty sure I didn't make a mistake because I used it after that. Tried all my PIN codes but no go. Is there some kind of "security" in the soak test that would force a default PIN code in some circumstances ? Thanks for any help !

Alternatively would a factory reset/reflash help ?

I know I'm late to the game for the soak test, but I'm also impatient and was wondering, how can I downgrade to that specific firmware? I'd used adb/fastboot via my Mac, so I'm not really a stranger to any of that, just never downgraded before, usually just play around with different ROMS and such.

Moto g6

USA

Build Number: OPSS27.104.92-2

phone was purchased unlocked. ANY help you could provide me with would be greatly appreciated. Did I mention I'm impatient and although I KNOW they are now pushing the official update in the US, I also KNOW that it could still take weeks/months for me to get it. I've played this game too many times with Motorola branded phones.

Thanks so much, in advance, it's appreciated!
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] oposiasty:
Just download the zip file with specific firmware and flash everything via fastboot, if you played with adb/fastboot before you should know how to do that :)

Anyone else getting system integrity compromised when checking for updates on the leak?

My bootloader is unlocked but I was bone stock when I upgraded to pie from oreo, even had taken a oreo ota or 2 before upgrading to pie.

Is there a way to flash back to oreo before the official pie ota comes out? I've found this leak to start lagging after a week or so. Have factory reset and the lag was gone for a bit but def returned after a while.

If it's full PIE firmware then yes. If it's only a patch, then you have to downgrade to Oreo to go to PIE. No OTA notification on PIE leak.

NOOB DOUBT : Is there any way to revert back to Oreo if I install this update. I've installed this update and the device is too slow now. Moreover, the official Pie update is expected to come soon. It has already started rolling out in Brazil. So, is there any way to revert back...?
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] HueyT:
Yes, especially if your bootloader is unlocked
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
How...? My bootloader is already unlocked. Can you please give a step by step explanation...? Also, it would be really great if I could do this without getting the device rooted. Another doubt too, will we continue to get official updates from Motorola even after installing this update...?
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fix-this!:
im shocked there isnt a ota zip or full fastboot flash posted on here already. id assume it'll be months before they officially update all of the g6's especially the USA version. development on this device has always been super slow for some reason. :(

[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aneuryst:
Hi guys I got a weird issue. So I was on the November security patch (OPSS...6) and tried to downgrade to the September one (OPSS...3). However it just wiped my data and still left me on the November security patch. I then tried to update to this soak test instead via the check update after placing it in my internal storage. Then, it said there was an update available after checking within system settings and also after granting update services storage permission. But, instead of this soak test, it updated me to the January security patch (OPSS...8).

What I'm wondering is why it failed to downgrade? Was there any steps I missed? I simply flashed it via adb, had all the drivers installed, it went through the commands and rebooted my phone.
