Ahh puff, that means Pie is not on the Smart Assistant servers yet.

Try again in a week or so, hopefully it will offer Pie and you can download the file to share it with everyone ?

Try Downloading the OTA using the OTA Link generator tool
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] ilia3367:
And how use thisis OTA? :D
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] ram1894:
I was not able to get ota of retin through the tool. It says wrong data or no update available. As far as I know, I had given valid data.

If anyone can send the ota download link from ota tool generator for retin/retapac, that would be great!
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] fallcaoalves:
How do I use this OTA to upgrade my XT1789-05?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] ram1894:
You have to rename it to your sw version with a .zip extension and place it in the root folder of your internal storage. Then you reboot your phone and check for system updates, you will see the update.

I had done this on my Moto e 1st gen for lollipop update
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] fallcaoalves:
I tried as you said, but it didn't work, any other alternative to upgrade my XT1789-05? Because he does not find wifi network nor recognize carrier chip, then I can not unlock his bootloader.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] hommly1996:
you can try with lenovo moto smart assistant, just register in the application and search you model phone :good:
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] TigerCourage:
Go to Settings > Apps > Show system apps from the 3 dots > Motorola Update Services > Permissions > Enable storage permission

That should let you update

EDIT:

Verizon update is up guys: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/motorola-moto-z2-force-edition-update/

Now come on in freaking Europe!
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] fallcaoalves:
I don't think this option Motorola Update Services, in the application tab, I click on the three points and nothing, it has a security update of March 2018, but not enough to install, because only download by wifi

for me it's plain and simple. I will fly back home tomorrow in a week. If there's no update until next friday, I will order an Oneplus7 from Amazon which will await me when I get back home.

This whole thing is beyond embarassing. We will probably get full UFO disclosure from the US government before we bloody get some reliable information from motorola about this totally messed up update.

you can not make it more clear that you don't give a rats ass about customer care.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] TigerCourage:
If they would at least give you guys Android 8.1 to fix the crappy bugs and add the extra new Moto features.

Freaking 3 year old Moto G4 Plus is ahead with the Android version having 8.1 and more Moto features than their 2 year old flagship. Really stupid.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] huatz84:
They just don't care. Z2 Force should be treated better coz it's still capable of doing most hard task in android nowadays. Since Lenovo took over, I had already thought it would be a disaster for Moto coz Lenovo is well-known in slow updates.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] TigerCourage:
It's not Lenovo. They are doing it to themselves. They still are an independent company, Lenovo only provides the $$$. Lenovo only owns 51.3% out of Moto.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] huatz84:
It's still unacceptable. From my 16 years of using Moto phones,this is the second time they dissapoint me. They gave up on Atrix several years ago. But,it's still acceptable coz android updates was really bad and rare at that times. In current times, even low end of Chinese brands like Realme still updating their phone to pie.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] TigerCourage:
Yeah but how unstable is Realme? This has the Moto Mods platform built in, takes longer to optimize, to test the 5G mod, etc etc. Look at the Moto X4 running Pie like a champ since almost 10 months ago.

Could they be faster? Yes. Is it frustrating? Yes, hell yeah. But who knows for whatever reasons they are taking this approach. The guys at Moto love Android, they don't have a better phone than this. Most of the employees have Moto Z2 Force phones. They probably don't want to **** up with this last update for their best phone yet.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] gyarados025:
Moto now says Devices will be upgraded to pie by Aug19 in India. The rollout began on July 17 and still no sign of update here
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] urbex:
Apparently you've been living under a rock for the past few months. We're TWO generations past the Z2 now, both of which don't even match the Z2 in specs, much less exceed it. The Z3 got Pie months ago, and there isn't any fundamental difference in the Mod platform between the Z2, Z3, and Z4. The whole "Mods add complexity" is complete bull****.

This was Moto thinking they could steal a page from Apple's playbook where people just buy a new phone to get the software updates....which is backfiring on them, on a grand scale.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
The whole run out to grab the latest phone fad has shifted. Most people are tired of having a drawer full of old phones that they don't use and isn't worth the hassle of reselling. We want a phone that's going to be useful for a little while, especially when on average you're dropping $500+ a pop. Moto doesn't get it, their response to this shift is to focus on mid range phones hoping that cheaper prices will continue the old trend. Reminds me of the old SNL sketch "Bring in a dollar and we'll give you four quarters!" But how do you make money? "Volume!"

July patch in july, that's moto, very fast at least by rolling out security patches. Pie maybe with august patches. If not, would be crazy :eek:
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] wrenhal:
The idea of the 5G mod making any difference in regards to how long it takes to do an update has no bearing at all on this whole conversation. And that's because only Verizon supports the 5G mod. On top of that they're releasing it outside the US so why can't they release it for Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T?

Must the phone have a custom recovery to flash this?

How about official updates/security patches?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] alexcheveau:
Mine is from Brazil, XT1789-07 (6GB ram model)
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] solocchi:
No, it's a firmware. Download the zip file and unzip it. Inside you already find the files for the flash. It does not update is a test firmware so it does not have the function to receive updates. The firmware is updated as of August 2018.

What firmware do you have? Retail or another?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] alexcheveau:
I'm using RETAIL
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] solocchi:
This NASH_RETAIL_8.0.0_OPXS27.109-34-17_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip.

If you use this just download the firmware 8.1.0 and replace the file NON-HLOS.bin with the firmware 8.0. And exactly what I did.

If you install 8.1.0 prepared because the flash times are very long. The first boot after the flash is also very long.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] alexcheveau:
Thanks, already flashed with your instructions, all good.

The thing is, booting in TWRP isn't working (https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotoz2force.html)

After the "fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img" the phone restarts in bootloader and won't boot in TWRP

Did you manage to get TWRP installed ?

Thanjs
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] solocchi:
Hello. No, unfortunately I have never tried to install the TWRP on the 8.1.0 firmware. I do not know how to help you I should do some tests.

Mine just updated to November security patch with the 27.1.4 update which I thought was weird. I feel like earlier updates had more recent security patches.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] HKSpeed:
was the update OTA? I presume you're on AT&T or related MVNO. I'm using it unlocked on T-Mobile, but no update. AT&T's website shows the last update was the Nov 2018 security patch.

Bought me a G7 plus yesterday. Don't wanna wait longer. Bye bye Z2 force and never again a so called flagship device from Moto...
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] TigerCourage:
Update is coming in April, they wanna make sure it's fully working with little to no bugs at all because it's going to be the last major update for it.

I have the G7 Plus too, it's really nice but the Z2 Force is still a bit faster. The camera is better on the G7 Plus though, and I'm loving Motorola's new One Button Nav.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] allrightlite:
I love my Z2 Force. No problems with it. And with Pie all known bugs will be fixed in few weeks. G7 Plus really better? We have paid 799€ for the Z2 Force. That's the reason not change the phone again :cool: :silly:

Thank you for the info. I thought my bluetooth earphones would cause this issue. Very good to know that oreo problem. Then we should hope for rolling out pie very soon to fix this. Very important. You can live with that, but not ok normally. Should be fixed soon.

Edit: Have fixed it with switching to LOS16. There my bluetooth headset working without losing the connection. Could not wait any longer. Good to know that was a software issue by oreo 8.0 and not my headset or hardware issue.

Update pie

Hi, I share the link to download the OTA file:

https://mega.nz/#!Q6gz0a5K!vvGpJFpersyw4djw3bJiMJNWNPixObdX8PJOaPCv35A

The steps to follow are:

1.- Download the file and copy it to the internal storage outside of any folder.

2.-Enter Settings, Apps and notifications (see all) and in the three points in the upper right corner indicate Show system, open Motorola Update and give storage permissions.

3.-Then in system look for the update and install.

My phone is XT1789-05 and I did it with the bootloader locked and my channel is OPENMX, however it was already tested on AMXMX and it worked.

Luck!:fingers-crossed:

I only installed it an hour ago on the Reteu 1789-06 Dualsim. Everything works fine.

Installed as written above.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Z2Gius:
What?!

I updated my phone like an hour ago, I think (at the moment) everything is fine except for one strange thing. Before I installed the update, I uninstalled the Google phone app, downloaded here from xda, (the one that's patched to work with phones that aren't compatible), and keep using the one from Moto.

But then after the required reboot for the update, the Google phone app (the one I uninstalled) it was set as system app, and the one from Moto seems unavailable.

Anyone has an idea of what can i do?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] gyarados025:
Moto uses the Official Google Phone as the default phone app from Pie on all phones.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] ram1894:
You mean you flashed full Oreo firmware and then updated?

Or you flashed the ota zip?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] wizard-dima:
No, I had the latest firmware with safety from the 1st of February.

I took the OTA, which was posted above and updated using Update in the Settings of the smartphone

Updated to 9,0 1789-06 dualsim device. Reteu update channel

1) Download https://mega.nz/#!Q6gz0a5K!vvGpJFpersyw4djw3bJiMJNWNPixObdX8PJOaPCv35A update archive and drop it into the phone's memory (I threw it into the root)

2) Go to Settings - Applications and Notifications - Application Details - 3 points (system processes) - Motorola Update Service - Permissions - Memory to give permission.

3) Settings - Update the system, find our update, click install and wait.

Ps When rebooting, it will stick for a couple of seconds, a black screen and a diode (white) in the window of the proximity sensor will light up.

Then it will stick on the logo for 1-2 minutes. Do not worry, waiting.

Well, finally turn on. :)

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] thomas_b:
same here...succesfully updated...!

BUT...: looks like Moto messed up the pie gesture navigation?

all you can do is switch on this stupid moto action one button navigation on the fingerprint sensor, which ist totally silly, especially if you are using a screenprotector (which is a must have on this device)

the settings for the pie gesture navigation are not there (or at least I didn't find them).
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] TigerCourage:
Wow! Mine says update unsuccessful all the time. I had the bootloader unlocked then locked it, maybe that's the reason?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] allrightlite:
Thanks for the info. Then I keep better on LOS16, there the pie gesture navigation working (and you can additional hide it to avoid burn ins).

I use the phone over one year without screen protector. No problem. Only luck? Manufactured in 05/2018. The only problem is clickern around the moto logo. But that is from the beginning and was not coming later. You can there push in the screen, but not much. Seems hold all.
