Moto G4 Plus IS getting Android O. - Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion

As you may know, Google has announced the dev preview of Android O: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/03/first-preview-of-android-o.html .
When the G4 Plus was announced, it was confirmed to have an Android O update. I just thought I would bring this back up. Now we just need to see if Lenovo will keep their promise, and how long we will have to wait after O is released. :good:

Most haven't even gotten nougat yet can't wait to see this

You maaaybe will see O by July of 2018. Maaaybe.
Anyway, I'm still kinda excited to see if we'll get a port of the preview here on XDA, fingers crossed!

Or, maybe (and I use this lightly) they'll skip N altogether and jump us on O straight out. (One can only dream...)

If that really is your dream, just skip nougat when it's released and wait for oranges.

By then, I'd be on a different phone all together...

The truth, with Lenovo I do not expect the update, it's like Samsung, it will launch when they remember the G4 Plus

Yup! http://www.ubergizmo.com/2016/05/moto-g4-plus-android-o/

Moto G4 didn't even get 7.1... Moto G5 probably won't get O either.

Oh wow. That would be awesome.

If the Moto G4 gets O, I don't think it will be fromLenovo, at least in the US. Maybe from one of the fantastic developers on XDA (which is how I got Nougat).

I would hardly call this proof. That allegedly "leaked" poster could have been made by anybody. I challenge you to find something verifiable from Motorola confirming your claim.

Nothing says this is leaked. In fact, here is another article from PocketDroid: http://www.pocketdroid.net/2016/05/23/moto-g4-plus-upgrade-android-o-2017/

Dude do you even read the BS you are linking to? That link clearly states this poster is leaked. If you reverse search the image all you get is a bunch of sketchy android websites all quoting each other. Not a single one connects the poster directly to motorola. So, again, I challenge you to do that and find verifiable information directly from Motorola that the G4 will be updated to O.

That poster is absolutely real. I have it in physical because it came with my G4 plus and it was also being used as promotion in the store where Lenovo staff where working. So yes, the "BS" you are arguing is fake it's actually real. You should consider informing yourself first before being rude to a person who actually has some proof, and also read the XDA guidelines where it says you have to be polite and nice with others around here. If you want more proof I can show a photo of the poster. Good night.

Meanwhile some days back I had a bit of chat with the moto care and according to this operator, athene (xt1643) will get N 7.1 which will fix the problems users face with N 7.0 it'll be good if it happens and we have the 7.1 ROMs already.
The chat:

XT1644 Moto G4 Plus NPJ25.93-14 SOAK

Soak seems very stable. Looks like the baseband is little stronger.

So all this bluster and you don't even bother to post your "proof"? Let's see it. And while you are at it let's see some evidence that the poster was actually produced by Motorola and Motorola has officially announced the G4 will get O.

Hey Mike, is this the U.S. soak test software? If so has anyone uploaded it anywhere?

T-mobile is sending out OTA 2.0.1 already for G1 and MT3G

see http://simflecks.com/?p=1082
if you've gotten it post a dump so it can be rooted
Hey whats the commands to dump the phone?
I unrooted my MT3G so its on 1.6 atm.
And oddly I don't believe it. Until T-Mobile gives the announcement, itis all speculation.
@Ace just get a logcat app and IF you get it, run it and post it, we will get the link for it.

Fail. This article was dated from last year.
I know noone knows me from anything.. but Im not out for attention on this.
When I went in to change my plan last week and check my upgrade credit it was in mid morning and I was the only customer so I was able to sit down with the re for a while talking about phones and he showed me the fender Mytouch demoo.. blah blah.. Anyway.. When we were talking about if I should wait for the fender mytouch or get a CLiq, he mentioned to me that the new updates would be officially out between feb 7th-21st. I asked him what build he said depending on the phone 2.01 and 2.1. He knew I had a G1 and he said that I may be getting 2.1. This guy has been working in the same store for about 4 years so I know hes not some rambling new guys saying whatever I want to hear.
Just my 2.324543 cents

DONATION FOR Root v1.47.651.1 - THREAD CLOSED

This thread is closed.
new evos come with this installed?? wheres your source on that, first i heard of that.
Id say that where ever people are getting the phone now, the reps there will install the updates before they give it to you.

My source is me. My friend got his from Best Buy this morning, he asked me to root it for him. Then I discovered v1.47.651.1 on it.
My EVO is currently smashed, I am awaiting a replacement. I pray my replacement doesn't come with that version on it but I'm probably SOL on that.
There are still NEW Evos that are coming with stock ROM. I bought another Evo last Thursday from the Sprint website and got it yesterday. It has the 1.32.651.1 firmware and 003 Novatec panel.

I have no doubt that is true. But it's simple logic to figure that eventually those older versioned phones will run out and get replaced by the new v1.47.651.1.
I thought about offering $ as well. Which I may be willing to contribute. But I have the fear that it will cause the free flow of ideas between the devs to stop if they think another dev will crack it first.
They deserve the $, no doubt. But I'm hoping they would be willing to work together and split it up. If that's the case, lets see how high the pool can get.

Sure, it's possible. But he said the guy handed it to him in the box, and the plastic protector was still on the phone screen.
Can you not just downgrade to a previous version then root? (like what you had to do at the beginning if you already got a phone with the first OTA?)
And since you didnt specify that it needed to be full root or NAND unlock.. you could just use this:

or this

You can count me in for $20, mine had the first OTA already installed.. but I didnt read up good enough and thought root wouldnt be possible so I just said the heck with it and installed 1.47.651.1.. Loving this phone but I know ill love it more rooted with a custom rom..

Kernel source code
Honor 8 Pro was just released, and the sourcesnare scheduled to be released just this month. That is a good sign. I hope they continue it that way in order for development to grow in a pace that we, power users and developers want.

im in the MFN program, that doesn't necessary mean im a soak tester, they're chosen by random, and since the soak test finished a year ago and motorola finished rolling out the update, im at liberty to say whether i was in the test or not, adding to that, im G4+ user not Z, so if there's an Oreo soak test for the G4+ it would be around Jan-Feb even maybe Apr

Looks like you were answering the question of rooting Q with the lack of Verizon unlockable bootloader as your example with the "never buy from a carrier" comment when nobody claimed in this thread that they did buy from a carrier. Q is rooted, and that appears to be the reason for the "chewing on those words" comment. If your original comment was just to say that Verizon wouldn't get BL unlocked... wrong thread.
