[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] RubenXJ:

Given that the Verizon update appears to have been released, if we got a Verizon user to capture the firmware, couldn't we technically shove that on to a Sprint phone?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] rmonjay:
It has been unreleased
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Uzephi:
Seems Verizon either pushed it back to Moto or it was cancelled. It is no longer on their update page.

Dunno why everyone is so upset about the navigation system. Motorola's one button nav is better than stock Pie ones anyway.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Siminica:
because everyone wants the "new features, full package" :laugh:

I also find one button nav be perfect for my usage patterns

sort of off-topic: how is your battery life? (I've seen you just updated yesterday). In my case adaptive brightness sets itself only on 20% on the darkest room and about 75-80% in all other cases and that gives more power drained on my 4 hours usual daily SOT usage (updated to pie about same time with you)

Thanks [MENTION=9626783]Luigi0929[/MENTION], my reteu xt1789-06 is now on pie :) the only bummer i found since i updated is that my bt headphones (redmi airdots & jbl everest 300) are way quieter than under Oreo. Is there any way to bypass this "max volume threshold"? Tried apps and the deactivation of the volume coupling android does with thr headphone, but nothing works :/

Just as a hint, safetynet does not pass once you unlock your bootloader. You cannot use Google pay and other banking apps even if you lock it again. You need to use magisk I guess

Can you tell us how to update with full firmware?

A little tutorial, please!
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] TigerCourage:
Download and extract the firmware, make sure you have the motorola drivers installed, run the cmd-here file inside the folder, put your phone in bootloader mode (holding volume down and power for a while), connect your phone to the computer then copy everything inside the fastboot commands file text file and paste inside the cmd window that opened, wait for it to install and you're done.

Note, this is valid only for RETEU, might brick other devices.

Did anyone else noticed a weird wifi dns error? Im using my -06 reteu for about two weeks now with the update and have the problem that i got connection issues in apps, and i guess that is regarding the dns connection, bc some apps are unable to parse domains. If that is the case, my phone shortly connects to cellular and goes back. I already reset the network settings multiple times via the reset settings, but that's only a short relief. The wifi signal is good and none of my other devices have that problem, even other with android 9. Guess i will do a full wipe tomorrow.

Ya estaba en RETAIL 8 y con bootloader bloqueado

Puse de fábrica y volví a instalar la RETAIL 8 por un detalle

Descomprimir los 2 archivos (flashall... y firm...) y ponerlos en una carpeta

Correr el "Preparation.bat" les debe generar un "flashfile.bat", doble click sobre eso con el teléfono en modo download

Es todo, realicé instalación limpia

Fué lo que hice, no me hago responsable por los daños en sus equipos

El archivo "FlashAll_XT1789-05.zip" no recuerdo quien lo generó, una disculpa, si pueden ayudar y poner el autor ya que no es mío

Goolge translate

I was already in RETAIL 8 and with the bootloader locked

I set up the factory and reinstalled the RETAIL 8 for a detail

Unzip the 2 files (flashall ... and firm ...) and place them in a folder

Click on "Preparation.bat", you must generate a "flash.bat file", double click with the phone in download mode

It's all, really clean installation

It was what I did, I am not responsible for damage to your equipment

Today i got the OTA Upgrade for Android 9 reteu. The device feels Snappy but that could be come from the new small animations. Its a bit dissatisfactory that the clock is now on the left side and the app names are now harder to read. the clock widget lost contrast too.

And the SD Card Identifier has changed :/ So now Apps cant recognize its working directory if it was placed on the SD. So unpleasant work.

EDIT: After some time now i notice Wlan connection issues. Its disconnects sometimes and need around a minute to reconnect. Battery Life is the same as before but standby seems to be improved.

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] quadcrap1:
In the thread on updating a Sprint phone (with unlocked bootloader) to Pie using the Pie update capture, I described successfully updating, and then using it with T-Mobile.

It works fine EXCEPT that VoLTE drops down to "H" speeds (shows H) when I am on a call, rather than maintaining LTE. The phone is provisioned for VoLTE, and you can use data while on a call, but it's extremely slow.

Anyone else encounter this and have any suggestions how to fix it?

I have a second Z2 Force, on Oreo, using T-Mobile, and VoLTE works fine with LTE speeds. Same phone network settings.

I have Android 9 Pie on my Moto Z2 Force RETEU for two days and I am delighted at the change this mobile has made. It looks like another. :)

But not everything has been good in this update and I have detected two problems that I hope will solve them in an upcoming OTA.

The first and most important problem is that I suffer small disconnections from my home's Wi-Fi and other Wi-Fi networks to which I connect. :(

From what I have read in this thread there are already several people with this same problem. So here is another one that suffers from this problem after installing the Android 9 Pie OTA. In my case, a factory reset from the terminal recovery was not valid at all nor has it solved them for me.

The second problem is that if during a cycle of terminal use I restart it again and it encounters a battery level below 95%, the battery usage statistics freeze and are not updated. To correctly re-arrange the statistics of the use of the battery I have to recharge this up to a minimum of 95%. :(

For the rest and save these two problems I am delighted with Android 9 on the Moto Z2 Force. ;)

Static ip or dhcp does make no difference. location scanning was deactivated after the upgrade. I guess next week i try a factory reset.

EDIT 2:

I marked the timeouts.
