Okay update on this, but I am at my wits end here.

So I unlocked the bootloader which I totally forgot about doing, which of course allowed me to flash the stock firmware.

I tried updating from OPSS27.82-87-3 to the Pie firmware in the top post, did not work.

I tried updating from OPSS27.82-87-6 to the Pie firmware linked on page 20, comment #198. It did not work.

I have granted storage permissions to Motorola Update Services in both scenarios.

What am I doing wrong? :confused:

Where did you put the block_delta-Blur_Version.27.241.3-29.1.24.ali.retail.en.US.zip ? Should be internal sd root.

Not detecting the update in software update!!!!

I have downloaded the above file in my Moto g6 but even after giving storage permission to Motorola update services it is not DETECTING the downloaded file and not showing the Android pie update...(the downloaded file is already in my root folder)

Helping will be appreciated thanks :confused:

Current software :- Android 8.0 Oreo

Build number OPSS27 .82-87-8.

January 1st 2019 update patch is currently on my device
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] saishash_09:
Its not an OTA and is supposed to be flased through adb.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] HueyT:
It is an OTA and just a patch so must be exactly NOVEMBER security ROM as stated in O.P. Thus, you must downgrade to NOVEMBER ROM OPSS27.82-87-3 to recognize this update patch. The problem is if your bootloader is LOCKED, then if you brick, there is little way to rescue your phone so beware. Official PIE is coming soon for all variant so best just to wait if you have a locked bootloader or you may brick your phone.

What update channel?
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] chilloutandi:
I think I have another problem. This is a custom ROM and I get an error message "footer is wrong". Does it fail because STOCK 8.0 is installed?

I tried "Minimal ADB and Fastboot". The normal update channel on my device still shows me no update to Android Pie.

Should I wait until Motorola releases the update Officially for my G6?

Edit: Software Channel reteu

Edit2: So, I have the bootloader of my G6 unlocked via Motorola.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
You can probably use RETAIL or any other ret××× channel. Likely even retus if you want. But safest bet, yeah, wait for reteu to get it.

The retail one will work, it's full firmware. So it doesn't really matter which 8.0 you're on.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] chilloutandi:
Okay. Thank you.

But, there is no "META-INF" Folder inside at ALI_Retail_9.0_PPS29.55.24.......xml.zip

How can i install it ?
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] RomLord14495:
Fastboot
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] chilloutandi:
Okay...

zip File in adb/fastboot folder on PC. CMD flash-all (if my device is connected via USB an in recovery Mode)

right ?

sry, my first time flash a Android Smartphone, but i read something about it.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
Not quite. Only Nexus have flash-all. You have to extract the zip to your platform tools folder and run all commands in the XML file.

Or get RSDlite. It will flash for you on Windows PC. Phone in fastboot mode, not recovery.

All of the extra steps you see are backing up the files you're modifying. Which you should have been doing back then too.

But do as you like. Unlock, flash TWRP. Flash no verity boot.img, format data, type yes to format. Reboot recovery, flash magisk.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] RomLord14495:
You can use a flash all script from the oreo stock rom,works the same and flashes same partitions

Everything in this update is working fine.

Only problem with me is, in my system update, it says that my system integrity is compromised. And It says my system is no longer eligible for future system update.

Is it because of my bootloader is unlocked?

I guess so, because my bootloader is locked and I'm not getting any errors related to future updates.

you need to run that command in the stock recovery, if it isnt working than you need to make sure your android version is the one in the OP and not anything else, the soak test will not install on anything that isnt that version of the motorola update

adb requires a fully booted device to provide emulators. It will not — does not — work in recovery mode.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jasoneg:
I do have the firmware listed in the OP. Following the directions online to out it in recovery mode doesn't work either. The screen with the Android logo with the exclamation point come up, but pressing the buttons to entery recovery does nothing.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] luigi90210:
so here is the step by step guide to how i flashed it via recovery

1. power down phone

2. hold power button with volume down

3. when in bootloader mode select recovery with the volume buttons and hit power button when over recovery

4. when booted into recovery hold power and vol+

5. select "apply update from adb"

6. open adb on your computer and type in the command "adb sideload block_delta-Blur_Version.27.241.3-29.1.24.ali.retail.en.US.zip"

you should see it start transfering in the adb window, when it reaches 100% it should install without any errors and if you do get an error it will be because you are not on the right version or because the download got corrupted
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jasoneg:
Yeah, when I hold the power and vol + nothing happens. Knowing my luck I'll never get it to work

Does anyone know if a twrp flashable zip of stock pie either pps29.55-34 or pps29.55-24-2 has been created and available?. Only asking because due to HW issue I don't have ADB or Fastboot available on xt1925-6 anymore. Replys would be appreciated.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
I don't think so. You can look up how to merge all the system sparse chunks from stock firmware into one system.img. then extract the boot.img, and vendor.img from the stock firmware. Then flash them in TWRP using the install image selection in TWRP. You can also extract the stock recovery image from stock firmware and flash that in TWRP too. As long as the rest of your partitions are still stock (modems and all), it should theoretically work.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Skippy12359:
My next step was to start looking into how to make one up myself and your reply is much appreciated. If I'm understanding your steps correctly it's almost like creating a GSI stock pie ROM?. I will give it a try. Thanks
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] madbat99:
A GSI is a generic system image. You'd be making a stock system image. Stock already comes in image format it's just separated into sparse chunks so that fastboot can flash it. But I think if they are all merged into one image TWRP can handle it. I mentioned the boot image as well because rooting modifies the boot image so you want that stock as well. the recovery image is just if you want to be completely stock so you can take over the air update (OTA).

First you need to now the exact model of your moto g6. Like mine is a carrier unlocked US model so its XT1925-6 RETUS. Figure out which yours is and go here:

https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ali/official/

That has all the latest updates typically.

---------- Post added at 07:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 AM ----------

Which instructions did you follow? I have actually had the best luck when I use the newer guide to magisk/rooting but also use a modified boot image. Like I will typically flash the stock rom on my moto g6. Boot into the bootloader, flash twrp and then flash the modified boot image. Then I go into TWRP. Wipe two times to remove encryption. Run the encryption disabler, then run magisk. So far that has worked the best for me. If you need help getting a modified boot.img let me know.
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Max Kriger:
Hi thanks you, I'm a bit new there, I see XT1925DL in setting, is that the the model needed ?

[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] theseeker2654:

[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] theseeker2654:
Ok, Im reasonably sure that is the correct image. Its the only one that had the xt1925DL on that site. So you should be all good. I assume you know how to do everything else? Your bootloader is unlocked hopefully?
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Max Kriger:
I guess i just have to follow the original post ?! Copy file to phone memory, giving acces to the moto update apps, and search for update ?? Or I've to do another thing ?
[Moto G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] theseeker2654:
No, that image file you downloaded is the full stock image file. Not the OTA update file. Two questions:

1. Is your bootloader unlocked yet? Do that first.

2. Follow the instructions here:

https://xdaforums.com/moto-g6/how-to/guide-faster-updated-guide-to-root-t3914228

Hopefully you are familiar with the basics of fastboot and running fastboot commands. Its not super easy for the uninitiated. If you arent interested in rooting or anything then basically you can extract the contents of that image file you downloaded to the root of your adb/fastboot directory. Then you can basically just run the flash.bat file which contains all the fastboot commands that need to be run. Those will run through and when its done your phone should be updated. I've removed the erase userdata command from it so it shouldnt delete any of your apps or anything. I can give you that flash.bat file. Let me see if I can PM it to you on this site.
