I'm a bit disappointed that the Google-Wellbeing functionality (measures your phone / app usage) is an app which is not compatible. Even the beta version is not compatible with our G6 plus.

Anyone got it working (without root)?
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
As far as I know Digital Wellbeing won't work if:

a. you don't own a Pixel Device

b. your phone is not rooted

Basing on experience I can suggest you flashing Magisk and Digital Wellbeing Module. :)

Hi, I didn't flash my phone in years, can u link me any instruction for moto g6 plus?

Thanks a lot

I got black black screen everytime I turn on my phone (no animation just skips to the final moto screen and starts up), also black in the adb mode, idk if that normal or should I be worried (I won't be able to root my phone)
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Alpetrus:
I have exactly the same, and I don't know what's going on: black screen in fastboot mode and boot animation, but phone has started and worked without any problem.

So, I flashed stock Oreo (no black screen) and then flashed stock Pie BUT without commands:

[STRIKE]fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]fastboot flash boot boot.img[/STRIKE]

and evertything works perfect now.
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] EdBanshee:
So i flashed this on the Evert_Latam variant (XT1926-6) and first of all, it did erase my data sadly. It boots up normally but it shows the dm verity error and the system integrity error in the update service, and also the google play store gives me a server error

Edit: Playstore working fine now, the test is still the same
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Joaco95:
do you think if I only flash the bootloader and boot from oreo into pie will work or do I really need to reflash whole oreo?
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Alpetrus:
The problem is in bootloader.img from stock pie and I think it doesn't matter if it will be installed first (with stock oreo rom) or just replaced in stock pie rom (but I don't know it for sure).
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] fliperpl:
hey, i am using same phone as yours - also from retail. MOTO G6 Plus

Should i just phone to flash mode and run script - thats all? As far i know - warranity should not be void, right? I dont want to root phone.

edit : nvm, just did it. Phone boots like normal update :)
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] caser2010:
where should i put the downloaded pie update? If i run the script, it only erase my phone and i am still on ore 8.0
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
Repack all files and .bat file into one folder. Then run .bat file. That's everything you need to do.
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] azulextremo:
that is, I download that .zip file and store it in the internal storage of the phone, and then I open the recovery stock and flash it from there?
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] knevelsg-j:
I installed the apk from apk mirror. The app does not have a launcher icon so you have to open it after installing. Then scroll down to the bottom and enable the launcher icon.

It works! Tracks the time spent in apps, but the screen greyscale stuff does not.
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:
No. Did you rename the file? Then be sure to grant the Motorola Update-sevices storage and just check for updates the usual way.

Hello,

I installed it and rooted with Magisk.

Titanium does start but restore does not work.

Some small Apps i can restore - Batch hangs between 0% and 3%.

Any ideas?

[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] azulextremo:
Ok, and how can this problem be solved? "The integrity of the system is at risk", In addition to the verity warning disabled when the phone is turned on?

[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:
It's hidden. After installing it, install 'Pixel Shortcuts' from the play store. With this you can easily make a shortcut to the app. Then open the app. After that you can enable the normal shortcut in the app. Now you have 2 shortcuts... Just remove Pixel Shortcuts again to remove that one again.
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wijnand85:
Works great, thanks!
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:
Hard to answer. In general yes. But your channel will not change. For instance, I have reteu. If this update never comes to the EU my phone will never see an update because the official EU updates have (possibly) different version numbers. Nothing another manual update can't solve...

Just got my new dual SIM 4/64Gb G6+ (?Brazilian? XT1926-7 hw ver. pvt-1) from ebay today and after setup it was pushed an OTA software update in the US that after finishing reports Build Number PPW29-116-11 and Android 9 Pie.

It also reports Baseband ver.

M660_23.40.01.85REVERT_LATAMDSDS_CUST

w/ kern. ver.

4.4.153-perf-g0a9d1fa-00002-gbfbc7c5

#1 Wed. Dec 12 15:19:05 CST 2018

which is different from the Brazilian soak test screenshot here (https://www.xda-developers.com/motorola-moto-g6-plus-android-pie-soak-test-brazil/) and it's reddit update.

I didn't get far enough into the phone to know if it shipped w/ 8.0 or 8.1 before the update was done but just wanted to report that for this model it looks like official OTA is here.
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] p34c3m4k3r:
asd

Your model is not the brazilian version. The one sold here is the 1926-8. Judging by the baseband yours is likely the Retail Latin or retla.

[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Paraffinbrain:
Many thanks for this, the option 2 worked perfectly for an unrooted upgrade on retgb

I'm guessing the -16 newer file in post #1 is the full build rather than an update; if so, is there a -16 update that could be used in the same way? Not that I have found anything wrong with the -11 update

Thanks again
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:
Indeed, that file is for a full scale fastboot update. Works too... But requires more effort. You can't use it the same way as the update file. And I haven't seen an update file u can use that way for this version.

Hi, why PPW29.116-16 breaks safetynet on european devices? I flashed -11 on my reteu XT1926-3 and safetynet is OK
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
Exactly. I'm also on 116-11 and everything is fine.

116-16 is just probably for different regions than RETEU.
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:
Don't know if that's true... I think the 'official Pie EU update' hasn't arrived at all yet! Nevertheless, I'm on 116-11 with zero problems (manually updated).
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
Same here. :) I'm just thinking that official RETEU update will get different number than 116-11 and 116-16, but it's only my speculation.
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:

[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] M0nster_:
I updated through the method of placing the update file in the internal storage and then checking for updates. One thing I've noticed is that if you scroll (by holding your finger on the screen, not flicking it), the motion is slightly jittery. If you scroll by flicking, when you let go the the motion is smooth as you would expect. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have a G6 Plus purchased in the UK (retgb).
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] WYPIERDAALAAC:
Can you explain step by step how to install it by placing update in internal storage? How to name the ZIP file
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] M0nster_:
I downloaded the PPW29.116-11 update file from here: https://mega.nz/#!RRF01QID!9QjfFmaVjWQW6ZAoqqbn-tOW9bCYgnn7IojnSgrHLJU

Renamed it to Blur_Version.29.11.11.evert.retail.en.US.zip, placed it in my internal storage , where folders such as "Android", "Documents", and "Downloads" are (in files click the 3 dot menu, and click "Show Internal Storage").

Then go to settings, all apps, click the 3 dot menu and click "Show system". Find "Motorola Update Services" and give it the "Storage" permission. Now go and check for updates, if all went well it should pick up the update file and let you update. Try restarting your phone if it doesn't pick it up initially.
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] WYPIERDAALAAC:
Thanks but what's the difference between package from your link and this one from thread with 2gb of size?
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] M0nster_:
The reason for the size difference is that one is (as the name says), just an update file. The other is a full ROM.

[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
I'm observing Moto servers. Once 116-20 fastboot image is released I will post it here. :)

Answering to your question: No, if you updated to 116-16 you won't receive 116-20.
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] skatesdope:
What about from 116-11 to 116-20, is that possible with the zip update file?
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
No, you will have to flash firmware using fastboot. It won't erase any of your data. It will be totally safe. I will publish instruction how to do this once 116-20 is available.

PS. I'm also on 116-11. ;)
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] skatesdope:
Ok thanks ;), does fastboot need root to work?
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
Nope, but as far as i know - your bootloader needs to be unlocked. :)
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] skatesdope:
If I don't unlock the bootloader, will I get new updates via OTA in the future, like patch updates?

Thanks for the replies :)
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] yawer110:
Dear Sir,

After Unlock Bootloader you will never receive updates from Motorola.
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:
That's not entirely true. As long as you don't change anything to your system, you're ok.

But even flashing a different bootlogo (to hide the 'bootloader unlocked' warning), kicks you off the update list.

But: unlocking the bootloader and not changing anything makes no sense...

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

As long as your flashing a signed stockrom, you don't need an unlocked bootloader.
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] skatesdope:
My doubt was: can I get future updates and patches with the 116-11 via OTA, or I have to upgrade manually to the 116-20 because I'm in Europe? (But that means unlocking the bootloader and vanish the motorola official upgrades too)
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DeathBlade1142:
Is this like an official update? If I have the stock ROM can I update through settings?

[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] luigi 1979:
You can reflash the stock firmware for your device.and wait for ota pie.these are leaked roms.
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] azulextremo:
that in my case did not work, when I bought my moto G6 plus I had android 8, I opened the bootloader, I did flash of android 9 and the warning of dm-verity disabled appeared, so what I did was go back to android 8 with the stock rom and from there update to android 9 by OTA but still comes the notice of dm-verity disabled

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

I also have that question but I have not found how to do it
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:
When you use an official, Motorola signed package, you don't need to unlock your bootloader.

And yes, I'm afraid you'll have to flash 116-20 manually to receive future updates (and those are going to be safety patches only...)
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] skatesdope:
Thanks, but how can I update 116-20 manually without losing updates from Motorola?
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:
Skip the 'wipe' commands. Such as: 'fastboot erase userdata'. Maybe it's possible to skip 'fastboot erase carrier' too, but I doubt that that's necessary. But I'd recommend a 'clean' update, WITH te wipes!
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] skatesdope:
So is better to wipe and lose motorola official updates?
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:
If you want to wipe, don't skip the 'erase' commands. There is no such thing as 'before or after'. Read the OP. The commands are written out there. Wiping does NOT mean you lose official updates. Only when you unlock the bootloader and change system files...

Ergo: flashing the build of another region, for instance, a Latin American update on a European phone makes that your phone doesn't see the European updates anymore, because it expects another build number. Flashing a European build over the Latin American build will restore the normal update cycle again.

Hope I was clear. .
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] skatesdope:
Yes, that was clear, thank you for the patience! :)

[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:
Indeed, 116-11 has no issues at all on a European model. It works perfectly in every way!

Only thing is that you will not get updates because the update cycle expects another build number...

[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] globe79:
There is still no such build on Lenovo servers :(

Latest Oreo build for EVERT XT1926-3 is currently: OPWS27.113-94-4

As stated here this Oreo build:

- EVERT_OPWS27.113-89-5

already received upgrade to EVERT_PPW29.116-20 via OTA :)

Unsupported Pie builds are:

- PPW29.116-11

- PPW29.116-16

We are expecting to see:

- EVERT_PPW29.116-20 (should work soon :cool:, as it is already delivered by OTA - read above, you can try flashing OPWS27.113-89-5).

Helped? Click appropriate button :D
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] rafikowy:
Oh, thanks! I did not know Moto has different firmware storage than rsd-secure download. :)

According to already delivered 116-20 by OTA - I think they halted rollout. No one from Europe is reporting getting 116-20 since last friday.

You can check it by this link: http://erfanoabdi.000webhostapp.com...27.261.7.evert.retail.en.US&carrier=reteu&sn=

[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] globe79:
[MENTION=5750370]rafikowy[/MENTION] I read your whole thread and was almost sure you'll like the links ;) Perhaps it's a good idea to rename it just to "[ROM][STOCK][RETAIL] Official Stock Pie 9" or similar to gather more people involved... your turn.

[MENTION=9759819]skatesdope[/MENTION] Calm down. I wouldn't downgrade. I've got the same feeling that they ceased the rollout. Believe me or not, we know what you feel. Week or two won't make a big difference.
