Thanks, but I turned off notifications for Motorola Update Services in the beginning, and the system update notifications still come through. I suspect it's not possible to turn them off without disabling the Update app.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] cdaly1970:
Hi Peabody,

I also saw your post in the other thread, so here is my $.02. I have a US retail unlocked phone that is running PPS29.118-15-11. I updated from 8.0 (OPSS27.104-92-6) to Pie with the PPS29.118-11-1 OTA. My experience was different from GedBlake in that the update almost immediately showed signs of lagginess. For me it seemed that anytime the phone tried to access anything from the network in the background, it would lag the foreground. I uninstalled stuff, played with settings, even reset to factory, to no avail. Then someone recommended that I use RSD Lite to reflash PPS29.118-11-1. The difference is, that unlike the OTA, RSD Lite wiped the phone entirely and gave me a fresh starting point. Why a factory reset did not obtain the same state, I have no idea. But what I can tell you is that my G6 ran like glass after that. I got nervous when I got the notification to update to PPS29.118-15-11 OTA, but I bite the bullet and the upgrade went fine and it still runs like a champ.

[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] WoKoschekk:
First to say is to disable the update notification you have to freeze Motorola-Updateservices (com.motorola.ccc.ota)

pm disable com.motorola.ccc.ota

---------------------------------------------------------------

To Ged Blake:

If your password/lock-screen pattern is not being recognised, you should erase locksttings.db in /data/system via adb/TWRP. It resets your lockscreen pattern and you can access your device.

--------------------------------------------------------------

If you update to Pie you can't downgrade to Oreo without losing your Wifi signal!!!
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] GedBlake:
Hi, WoKoschekk...

Yeah, the password/lockscreen problem was just something I'd read about over on the Lenovo Motorola forums - it was never a problem for me. And your solution of using TWRP, whilst useful to know, likely wouldn't have helped most of the posters there, as most, if not all, are running bootloader locked devices with no TWRP installed. I seem to recall that running unmodified factory stock is a condition of posting there, if you expect a response from a Motorola Service Agent, which I suppose is understandable.

Your solution of disabling Motorola's OTA update app using ADB is something that occurred to me too, but I'm not too enthusiastic about recommending procedures that I've not tried myself... I didn't want to suggest something that might have screwed up the OP's device, however unlikely that may be:).

Anyhow, [MENTION=5542498]Peabody424[/MENTION]...

This article may be worth reading for more details in how to disable/freeze the OTA app, as suggested by WoKoschekk...

Rgrds,

[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] WoKoschekk:
You won't have any negative effects by disabling this app. Since it's not possible to deactivate it this might be the only way to turn off the notifications permanently. You can enable the app when ever you want it.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Peabody424:
Thanks very much for the responses.

In years past, I have flashed new rom to an old Hisense tablet, but that was a high-anxiety process since I was a total newbie. I'm still basically a civilian here, but understand that it's not entirely impossible that I would be able to do these things successfully. But just so I understand:

Using ADB to disable the update app would (probably) stop the notifications and prevent Motorola from forcing through the update to Pie. But it is not rooting, is reversible, and (if reversed) wouldn't void my warranty. Right?

Using RSD Lite does root the phone, which is not reversible, and does void my warranty. (The rom is factory stock, but you can't un-root.) Also, it's not possible to revert to Oreo after flashing Pie. Right?

Edit: It looks like I was wrong about not being able to un-root. A Youtube video by RootJunkie suggests using RSD Lite restores the phone to stock in every way, and it would become unrooted. So no warranty issues?

Chris, your experience with RSD is really encouraging. From what you said, you did try a factory reset after the OTA update, and it was not successful. But the RSD re-flash of the same rom did work, and continues to work. I just wish I understood why the reset didn't work but RSD did. Anyway, there are now several more updates after 29.118.11.1. Should I let the 11.1 OTA happen, then do RSD LIte, or just do RSD Lite from the existing Oreo, or do RSD Lite from Oreo to the latest rom? I guess we don't know whether any of that matters.

I tried to download RSD Lite from rsdlite.com, but got a 404. Is it available directly from Motorola? Also, I have a Win7/64 computer and an XP computer. Does it matter which one I use for RSD Lite?

Thanks again for everyone's suggestions.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Peabody424:
A new post appeared today on the Lenovo forum:

"I did a factory reset on the first of September (2019-09-01). The phone is now back to how it was: lagging, freezing, slow to open apps, slow keyboard, Chrome is laggy and pops up with "app is not responding" prompt.

For me, the factory reset fix lasted a little over a month before the phone got bogged down again."

Chris, I think you did the RSD Lite flash a month earlier than this guy did the factory reset. Have you seen no deterioration in performance? I'm sorry to be so goosey about this, but I don't understand why the RSD Lite flash should leave the phone in a different state than a factory reset of the OTA update, and I just dread doing the Pie flash only to get the same result as the other guy got a month later - as I understand it, I wouldn't be able to go back to Oreo.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] cdaly1970:
I do see slow downs in the phone from time to time, but these can be and usually are explained by external forces, such as wifi strength, and lack of cell service. That said, these are nothing like the lag I experienced after the first OTA to Pie. BTW - RSD Lite does not root the phone, it is only a tool used to flash images to the phone. So if you are flashing an official image, you are not voiding the warranty. Historically, I've been a big fan of rooting phones, however with the G6, I simply haven't found a good enough reason to do it yet. Here is a link for RSD Lite - http://download.canadiancontent.net/RSDLite.html - I used this and downloaded version 6.2.4. I ran it on Windows 10, and ran into a issue with the USB 3.0 port I was connected too. I had to switch to an older port - luckily my system still has a few. I would suggest using the Windows 7 system you have.

-Chris
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Peabody424:
I believe you said in the other thread that you did do a factory reset after the original OTA update, but found that it didn't fix things. If that's the case, then it seems pretty clear that the RSD Lite flash leaves the phone in a different state than the factory reset, although nobody knows why that would be the case since the rom is presumably the same either way.

Thanks for the clarification on rooting. The only reason I would need to root the phone is to be able to hide certain pictures and apps, but I may be able to do that without rooting.

So I have both the 11-1 and 15-11 roms and RSD Lite, and I have the v6.4.0 drivers although I don't think I need them since Win7 already communicates with the G6. If I can muster up the courage, I'll go ahead and give it a try, probably with the 15-11 rom.

A couple more questions: I don't have an SD card installed, but what about the SIM? Is it ok to leave it in the phone when doing RSD Lite? And do I need to set any Developer options, like USB debugging?

Thanks very much for your help on this.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Peabody424:
I decided to try this, disabling com.motorola.ccc.ota for user zero as described in that article. And it appears to have worked. Well, normally I would have received the Pie OTA notification immediately on power-up, and after 20 minutes now it hasn't arrived. So while it may be a bit early to count chickens, I'm encouraged. If I decide at the last minute not to risk upgrading to Pie, maybe at least I can continue to run Oreo in peace.

When I go to Settings/Apps&Notifications/AppInfo/ShowSystem/Motorola Update Services, it shows "Not installed for this user". I think that's a good sign.

I did have to install the Motorola ADB driver for this to work. The article doesn't mention that, but I guess it would be obvious to anyone but me.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Peabody424:
A question has come up in the Lenovo forum thread as to whether it is necessary to unlock the bootloader in order to run RSD Lite on newer phones like the G6. Chris, or anyone else who knows, can you clarify this? My understanding is that the whole point of RSD Lite was to restore a phone to factory condition, and that flashing stock roms signed by Motorola permitted them to be flashed without unlocking or rooting or anything else.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Peabody424:
JimmiH on the Lenovo forum has found "Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant", a new utility from Motorola, which is installed on your PC (Win 7 or 10). Included in the utility is a "rescue" function which appears to do the same thing as RSD Lite - resurrect a phone from any software issues. It downloads the correct official rom and reflashes it to the phone. JimmiH will be reporting back over the next few weeks as to whether the rescue has permanently solved his Pie lagginess issues.

The advantage of this LMSA over RSD Lite is that it runs on Windows 10, and presumably works with USB3 ports, while apparently neither was the case with RSD Lite. And of course you don't have to go hunting for the right rom.

This could potentially be a nice easy fix. Let's hope so.
[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] briguykels:
Curious as to the results of the the "Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant" reflashing method on moto G6. Has anyone had sustained success using this method?

I factory reset my phone in an attempt to cure the Pie lagginess, and had limited success - as other users describe there was a joyful month without lag, then a return to lag over the following months. Within two months you will be back to the same state of constant lag.

I am preparing to move to a Google Pixel 3a but wanted to give the G6 one last chance. I will be attempting the LMSA fix and hope to report back within a few months if this solution is permanent.

Hello all,

Normally when I open an e-mail in Outlook on my Tilt (WM6), the beginning of the message is initially displayed and I can scroll down to see the rest of the message. I installed KaiserTweaks on my Tilt last night and tweaked to the recommended settings. Now when I open e-mails in Outlook, the font looks different (I can't find how the KaiserTweaks would have changed my Outlook font) and Outlook now opens e-mails initially displaying the middle of the message and I now need to scroll up to see the beginning of the message.

Does anyone know which particular tweak may have caused this? I looked through the explanation of all the tweaks and I can't seem to find it. It is quite annoying to now have to "scroll up" on every single outlook e-mail I open just to see the start of the messages.

Thanks!

ADB and uninstall it, you might also find if you have the secure folder setup it resides in there too for some reason.

Easiest way to check, go to device care/battery/settings/sleeping apps and see if chrome has a little folder icon in bottom right, which means its in the secure folder.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] skrippi:
Thank you very much for the tip. I just deactivated the app, then blocked in in the "sleeping apps" section you mentioned. Glad to have Samsungs OneUI which makes that possible without any third party app.

Uninstalling apps with ADB always ended in very high battery consumption of the Play Services App which only could be resolved by factory reset twice. I will never do that again ;)

Tough one! Try this. It will wipe your data partition, though.

If it will let you, power down the tablet for about 10mins. Then boot into TWRP. Go to "Wipe" and swipe for Data/Factory Reset. Reboot.

If the M10 still won't boot, in TWRP re-format Data (by typing 'yes' under Wipe->Format Data), and wipe cache and Dalvik Cache. I think dalvik is under Wipe->Advanced. Factory reset again. Reboot.

As an absolute last resort, you might try fixing permissions in TWRP under "Advanced". But I don't think that's going to do much, because you haven't booted the ROM successfully yet.

Hope one of these works for you. Let us know what worked for you. If nothing works, PM me and we'll try some other things.

Lenovo Logo THEN black screen -- DEAD

I followed the instructions but on the last step of rebooting to system the device restarts, shows the Lenovo logo then it goes to a black / blanks screen. It appears to have shut down. I must hold the power button for several seconds before it wakes up (or restarts?) and does this all over again -- shows the Lenovo logo then black screen.

For the record the device was already rooted with Magisk. I was just trying to do a TWRP backup but found /data mounting errors so tried following steps 6 & 7. At the moment the device refuses to boot up. I am unable to get back into Recovery Mode. The ONLY thing i can do is get into FASTBOOT mode and issue commands from CLI.

The following hardware key combos produce the same results -- tablet turns on to show the Lenovo logo, after a few seconds the screen goes black (the device appears to have turned off):

x Power key

x Power Key + Volume Down

x Power Key + Volume Up

x Power Key + Volume Up + Volume Down

** Release of keys is done once Lenovo logo appears

Any ideas?

UPDATE

I went ahead and performed: fastboot flash boot boot.img << the boot.img was the earlier patched magisk image i used to get the rooted working tablet.

After performing the above the tablet turned on and is now showing the Lenovo logo however it does nothing else --- it remains on the logo forever. I am able to get into TWRP recovery. I went ahead and wiped Dalvik, Cache, and Data. Rebooted to System but still it is stuck on the Lenovo Logo.

The device if fully charged.
