Finally the September Security Patch is available for the Style. Hope Nougat is on the way soon.
How many threads about a September security patch that is now 4 months old do we need? Not very impressive to get the September patch in January in my opinion. If anything, the release of a security patch for Marshmallow now doesn't give me much hope that we will see Nougat in the near future. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel like we are getting screwed.
Moto does security patches in 1/4 by 1/4 updates so roughly every three months. Also they are usually a 1/4 behind the most recent.

Motorola/Lenovo never committed to a release schedule.
If u have the captured ota pls share it here
Xt 1572 Retasia Ds
False expectations that it was Nougat update, turns out to be just a security update for September month.
Moto updates slowly turning out to be a just a regular name any oem. No reliability for the software updates.
Day by day getting disappointed by Moto series ??

I am aware of that however past performance while not indicative or proof of future performance says they have been sticking to an every 3 to 4 month schedule on Moto X line for security updates.

I did full unroot from within the su app before remove twrp. Don't want to restore full stock image. May be I will wait till N is released. Now if there is a way to disable the nagging update notification

If you used root to make any change to the system partition (like Xposed, or even some simple things like the GSAM root battery_stats monitor), you cannot take an OTA successfully. The script checks to see if the system partition has been modified, or possibly just ever mounted R/W, and will refuse to continue and will result in an error in recovery like you see.
If the condition occurs like you are seeing, the only recourse is to restore to pure stock by flashing the factory images or restoring a pre-root TWRP backup.

The only way to do is flash stock.. else wipe cache partition and disable notification for Moto Update app. It wont bother you anymore.

True, I meant the only way to take the OTA update was to go back to stock... I neglected to mention that you can restore functionality to the device by just wiping caches.
I got the Security Update today too @ XT1572
ATT here got it today as well.

You can do a minimal factory restore to satisfy the checks for the OTA. Just reflash the partitions most likely modified (recovery, system, boot) and the OTA should succeed. This assumes you're not running an alternate modem or haven't tinkered with any other partitions (besides the logo, that's fine to leave altered).
See ace's nice post @ https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-return-to-stock-relock-bootloader-t3489110, and just execute the lines from boot.img to system.img_sparsechunk.8 with the appropriate 6.0 (May) files.
Has anyone from India received this update? I download RETASIA DS verison of this ROM and flashed it, however I'm getting no wifi and can't find an alternate download link. And obviously now I can't flash an older verison and then update using OTA

Let me fix your last sentence. You're running a stock ROM, but you're not fully stock. The second you modify anything in /system directory (even being rooted and or using xPosed) will disallow future OTAs.
If you're still planning to update, you should either ...
1. Return to stock by flashing 5.0 factory image through Fastboot. (Wipes all data and returns entire device to a clean state) (best option but make a backup)
2. Attempt to dirty flash (don't wipe data, but DO WIPE system) and flash a rooted Lollipop ROM, there are many. (Make a nandroid and continue from there..should work but it is a less suitable option)
Edit : Please note Xposed doesn't work on 5.0+ currently.

That's not what i mean.
I know perfectly that i must be fully stock to apply ota update.
What i mean is why notification of update is vanished from few days... i've xposed and root from months and the ota notification message is not influenced by that since i've received lollipop notification.
What i'm asking is that notification is gone because they are going to rollout 5.0.1 also for n5 (so they remove the old 5.0 from ota to make space to a possible 5.0.1) or something else.
Anyway if i want to update i'll flash factory removing -w from flash all .bat and before to do this uninstall xposed and unroot from supersu.
In this way i'm full stock.
And of course i know that doesn't work on ART runtime i'm still on 4.4.4

It seems you are well versed. As per why the notification vanished I have no direct answer, other than that maybe somehow disabling Google Play Services triggered a bug where it thinks you've already updated.

Might be a bug, the update isn't showing to me either. I was planning tho update using fast boot anyway, I just hope it doesn't escalate to 5.0

Friendly advice but if you're not doing a -w and you're doing a FULL wipe you may be better off waiting for 5.0.1 official or just go pure AOSP.

Hi,
I have rooted my phone a few month ago and when my phone switched off to apply the 5.1 OTA update it booted in the recovery (TWRP v2.8.6.0).
I don't know what to do there so I tried to Reboot>System.
But ~1 min after the phone is normally booted (I see no 5.1 update was applied), the phone just tells me it's rebooting and I'm back at the recovery screen.
I probably shouldn't have applied the 5.1 update while rooted.
Any idea on what I could do to fix this?
(maybe select a zip to update from the recovery?)
(or delete some file?)
Thanks!
What if I do
Install > /cache/Blur_Version.220.27.1.falcon_umts.TescoSL.en.GB.zip
?

TWRP doesn't support installing official OTA updates. It might work, it might fail, or it might brick your phone. I'd guess it will fail because some of your files on /system are modified.

Good thing I asked before doing it then.
Is there something I can do to revert the OTA update? i.e. remove this file and prevent the reboot.

Note that this is untested, but wiping /cache in TWRP should do it. Maybe make a backup before, just in case. Also note that the ROM may try to re-download the OTA. I don't have any experience with the Moto G yet, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Well now it's tested
You rock! it seems to work.
It did not reboot.
then a message appeared : "failure of the software update" with an ok button.
then a bit later he asked me if I wanted to make the software update like this morning and I was able to say "not now".
Thanks a lot, I owe you one.
My new MOTO G 2015 XT1540 16GB/2GB will be delivered early next week. I have been trying to do all my reading in advance. Ideally I would like to keep the stock ROM, root the device, and keep receiving OTA updates.
My understanding to date is it is possible root without installing (flashing) TWRP. And by fast booting TWRP (vice installing) I can root the phone, keep the stock boot loader, and receive OTA updates as long as I completely unroot the device prior to updating. What is not clear to me is if I can keep receive OTA updates and not break the phone under the following circumstances:
1) custom kernel installed
2) adding apps to the system such as Cerberus (I know it can be elsewhere)
3) adding apps that require root such as Adfree (modifying host file)
4) freezing or removing system apps (bloatware)
Any suggestions how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
Freezing/adding apps doesn't affect ota's,

Uhh, yes it does, at least sometimes. My last OTA failed until a bug report to Motorola traced it to system apps I had frozen. I don't think it matters now, at least with Titanium and Marshmallow. Many of the system apps I uninstall or freeze come un-frozen after a reboot. All that I uninstall become installed again after a reboot. I don't know if that's a Titanium Backup problem with Marshmallow or what.

So your update simply failed with no ill effect on the phone?
Were you using the stock kernel?

No lasting ill effect. Yes, everything stock. I had previously un-rooted which won't stop the OTA download, just the install. When the install still failed, I had forgotten that I'd frozen some Google apps, Gmail, Play Movies & TV, and Google Play Music. When the OTA kept failing to install, Motorola had me send a bug report. After I unfroze the above apps, the update seemed to go through fine. This had not happened on earlier versions of Android, so I'm thinking something changed or maybe it was just a bug in my software, who knows. You don't get a lot of feedback from Motorola. I think you have a better chance of winning the lottery or getting struck by lightning.
Hi Guys,
I had recently updated my Oneplus One to 5.0.2 through OTA system updates. Now I wanted to update the same to 5.1.1 (i.e OS 12.1). But the problem is that I am not able to see the system updates anymore. It says the System is up to date whereas it's not the case in reality. It also asks to update cyanogen recovery, which I ignore. Attaching the snapshots of device for your reference.
The device is NOT rooted. I tried switch OFF and Switch ON multiple times. I also manually force stopped the System Update app, cleared it's cache, disabled it then enabled it. tried all combinations for the same. But no luck.
Can someone please advice what should I do to see the system updates as usual the way I was seeing earlier? Thanks for your help.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I actually have that app and it shows me the new update for 5.1.1 too. But the issue is when I first tried to update thru this app from kitkat to 05Q update, it somehow messed up my device. The zip installed was somehow corrupt due to which the installation had issues. Thats why I am actually worried to take that risk again.
That screwed up installation thru that app was the reason why I switched to OTA system updates which updated from 05Q to 5.0.2 lollypop. And now I cant see cyanogen system updates as it seem to have died.
Are you sure that app has no issues at all? Have you updated till 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 using that app? Please let me know.

Thanks a lot for your help man. But flashing and factory reset will wipe the mobile data I guess. I don't really want to do that. I need to keep the mobile data intact. Also, will it be advisable to jump from 5.0.2 to 6.0 directly? Or should I go incrementally only?

I can also see the full update option. But if I do full update directly, will it wipe all data from my device? I am not sure about it. Can you confirm whether your data was wiped when you updated from Kitkat to the latest marshmallow thru this App? That would help me decide. Or if anyone else can confirm the same, that would also help.

Before flashing factory script, edit the script to remove "-w"
It is the "-w" that wipes device, not the factory firmware.
This has been discussed again and again since November 2016.

Did you have to wipe the internal storage in TWRP as the root guide suggests again? Or was that a one time deal for when we first move to Android O?

Nope didnt wipe internal storage. But I assume that was needed coming from N to O and I modded the flash all bat to not erase my system for this Sept full image. So far so good, if i see anything bad I will report back here.

Same here. Used the image from the Google site with the -w removed and no wipe. Re-roooted with no issue and it even kept suhide and it functioned after the root. Did this on an XL and a Pixel last night with no issues so far. No Google Play Services crashes on reboot either, so that is a win.
Does anyone know what are the issues with september update? Or google just fixed everything with this new release?
I can't find the changelog anywhere :/
Anyone actually had the Sept update yet?
I haven't.
Update: just unenrolled from the Beta and the update popped up.
