May be you phone is not properly shut down or doesn't have battery.

Nougat Moto Z on at&t mexico (this may be compatible with more models)

Greetings,
Just sharing this info, if you install verizon stock firmware on at&t iusacell Mexico, you will be able to update till nougat. I already tried with success, you just need unlocked bootloader and the moto z verizon stock firmware (wich is on this forum).
Wold like to upload a photo but i dont know how.
Flashing stock verizon will not relock your bootloader, and you will get the 2.2 ghz cpu and 610 mhz gpu from verizon rom.
You willl find the software at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto...loads-t3449837
Choose the verizon version. You may also search:
"XT1650_GRIFFIN_VERIZON_MCL24.203-22_cid2_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip"
on google for improved download speeds.
After you downloaded the firmware, flasht it over fastboot.
You may try this instructions over cmd to flash it (just like i did):
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot reboot
after that:
- Let the phone make the first boot (your may signup with with your google account, because you will not loose the information over the updates)
- Go to settings and search for updates
- Keep updating till Nougat (think i updated the phone like 3 times, till it get to Nougat).
- Enjoy

I think it will works on any moto z, but if anything goes wrong you may reflash the stock retail mexican rom again (cause you buy it directly from motorola, isnt?) .

Have you "Verizon flashers" doublechecked if the supported LTE bands are reduced this way?
Verizon's models support a lot less bands than international models...

Yes, i know this is something really strange, but.... It works! 4g lte! No issue at all.
It's a kind of contradictorious stuff, verizon rom being compatible and useful for anothers xD

Yes, but check how many of them are still supported using Network Signal Guru...

Sorry, dont know how to use that tool :/ why dont you try it and see??
By the way, day dream crash after welcome screen... But i think this is something related to the app, because thats the only crash i had on 24 hours using this rom

Worked like a charm on my Bell Moto Z up here in Canada. Now all we need to do is unencrypt the storage and get root
EDIT - Went back to stock 6.0.1 worked ok, then for some reason I cannot boot now into any type of rom or software. The only thing I can think of are these three commands did something?
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot erase ddr
I've never used those on any other rom or going back to stock in Fastboot ever before.

Happened to me the same a few hours back.
Cant go back to 6.0, its something related to nougat partitions.
Only way to boot is installing nougat again and thats is installling last update from verizon before nougat:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByioJuadKHC6MjJDXzhJSXlBaDA
And them install the OTA to nougat over stock recovery using adb sideload from your pc.
Thats how i did and finally boot. Lets see if someone find some workaround to this issue

No way...!
If you want to check you have to: start Network Signal Guru, grant root, press magic wand, then select bands locking, then LTE... you will see all the LTE bands supported by phone at the moment. Then *cancel* and select Exit on three dot menu.
Simple enough?

Well.. it sounds easy but how do i root, to grant permission
Tried with turbo kernel to disable encryption and them installing supersu(system mode) (just booting from twrp), but it doesn't boot... And it takes like age's to get it back to a bootable nougat xD

Try like it worked on MM: disable encryption (fully, not only by flashing kernel or patch...), flash Magisk v.9 and then SuperSU official/stock v.2.78... (NOT forced 2 system one...)
Reboot to system after every step...

Hi guys I just wanna to say it's really dangerous to flash Verizon OTA on non Verizon device
Because on this OTA and firmware we have some images like partition (gpt), modem and other firmwares like Bluetooth..
This may affect on your device modem.
Personally i suggest you guys not to install it on your devices and I have only one request to who did this and got nought on unlocked device.
Please get system image and boot partition backup with TWRP and share it to public or me.
I promise I'll create flashable zip to not flash modem and gpt, .. for safety
And you can back to marshmallow whenever you want
Thanks a lot

I 100% agree...

Yes. You can flash any system of any version because the hardware is the same. You will lose two SIM options because ia software related and Verizon only has one SIM version. My advice is not to flash this because maybe you won't be able to use two SIM in the future. And I think that Verizon and AT&T are only 32 GB not 64 like the unlock versions.

How did you disable encryption?... Flashing boot image and them wipe data, dalvik and cache?...
Would like to try it but dont i dont think it will work cause that was the boot image of marshmallow, and feel to much lazy to recover a brickphone xD..... So maybe at weekend xD

Will this work on the Amazon version?

Hello, it should work

I would be VERY careful about trying to use the image provided here.
I picked up the Z3 today hoping to be able to build TWRP recovery with this image. Using the kernel from this image resulted in a permanently bricked device. It would no longer turn on. At all.
Second Z3, using the provided image's boot.img and only booting boot.img from fastboot... hung the device.
This tells me the linked image here is very likely to be incompatible with many Z3 Play devices.
The version I've tested it with is the US retus software channel version.
As far as I've been able to tell, this image is for French devices only. DO NOT use this image if you cannot confirm it will work by testing the boot image first.
Extract boot.img from the archive and put your phone into fastboot mode. Test it by typing "fastboot boot boot.img" - If your phone hangs at the motorola logo, this firmware WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
The Z3 Play has NO FIRMWARE candidates on https://firmware.center - So, I repeat, the firmware linked here is likely NOT compatible with your device.

The XT1929-4 is what I have and the firmware definitely did not work for me. I tried to build TWRP for the Z3 Play as I have for other devices and it definitely wasn't going to happen with these files. Even if you 'fastboot boot boot.img', it's supposed to boot like normal using the rest of the what is stored on your phone. Instead it only hangs.

there is this https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/tool-motorola-ota-link-generator-tool-t3537039
we just have to wait for OTA i guess
also there is this if you google beckham_opw28.70-25_subsidy-default_regulatory-default_cfc.xml.zip but they ask for money

Has anyone been able to relock the bootloader in a way that passes safetynet. I noticed that phone boots with verity set at log only which fails CTS and I want to go back to stock until Magisk works properly.

magic works quite well if you patch the boot normally, with check marks.

Thanks, this did the trick. I was able to download use the boot.img from the lollinet mirror firmware zip. It does require both force encrypt and verity enabled before patching it or it will boot loop.

You need a firmware image for your specific device. Check the websites from this thread and see if you can find one specific to your device. Other images could brick your device.
The steps should be the same for every device as far as fastboot flashing goes. But don't use an image for another device

So I have a Verizon Moto Z3 (Brand New XT1929-17, NO XDA Thread yet) I found the firmware off the Motorola site at this link https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=279604 (last file). I unzipped it, copied the boot.img to my adb folder and executed fastboot boot boot.img and this is the result:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot boot boot.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.622s]
booting...
(bootloader) permission denied!
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.633s
My goal here is to modify a boot.img so I can root with Magisk without unlocking the bootloader. (Verizon devices don't allow unlocking the bootloader)
Any help would be appreciated.

Your bootloader is locked. Being a Verizon device, it's likely not unlockable.
You have to have an unlocked bootloader before you can boot and flash in fastboot.
This is why people buy unlocked devices.

Hi, I have the Moto Z3 Play. This is the updated Firmware that I have on my device. I felt I should share it, just in case anyone else needs its. I also added a couple of simple batch files to the folder that I thought everyone might appreciate.
FlashRoot(Service) - Will automatically flash the phone with the patch_boot.img instead of boot.img. This will flash the rooted version of the boot image that was made with Magisk Manager. (Must be in Fastboot)
Flash - Stock --Will automatically flash the regular boot.img also with all the other stock files to the phone. (Must be in Fastboot)

Bugs
Audio don't work
120hz

A very nice ROM. But unfortunately not suitable as a daily driver without sound.
Is there a chance to fix the sound problem quickly?

The recovery is TWRP or OrangeFox?
My Xperia 5 ii is under Sony stock A12.
If I just enter Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, and then reboot my phone, it won't erase my userdata
Two very last questions:
• if the recovery is TWRP, how to disable certain Magisk modules from it, as I was able to do from OrangeFox under root Android 11?
• if I want to make a restorable system recovery, which boxes I have to check when I backup my system from TWRP?
Many thanks!

Ok, thank you.
If anyone using this recovery has screenshots to show what more we can do with asop recovery compared to a normal one (can we backup and restore system as with TWRP?)

In my opinion I would just restore back to stock. Basically, using bugjager, make sure you have the stock rom downloaded and unzipped. Now you'll want to probably copy and paste these commands but you'll reboot your Stylus 5G into fastboot mode and once its connected to the second device with bugjager on it, start going down the list of flashing the partitions back... Here are commands you can copy and paste:
Code:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_system.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.10
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.11
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.12
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase metadata
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

I basically spent a hour trying random things on bugjaegar I honestly have no ideal how I didn't brick this phone seriously but then I flashed vbmeta boot and vendor boot and restarted. It took a long time to start then a msg popped up for half a second and the phone rebooted and then I went thru the whole Google startup process and when I got there I rebooted back to bootloader and flashed the magisk patched img and so far everything seems to work
.. thanks for your help.. I'll probably go ahead and wipe everything and start over using your guide. Then go get everything back to how I had it before and and make multiple backups on at least 2 different micro sds then retry the to install ROM

No worries Just saw your post and figured I'd offer some help.. I personally love the bugjaeger app. I use it all the time... it definitely helps if I'm without a computer and got my tablet lol.. and my handy dandy USB-C to USB-C cable lol...
