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.

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

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.

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:

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?

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

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:

Goes good with that avatar of yours. Want to add to it?
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..
Now I would like to say some things about what happend
I was trying to say to people what had been said to me
And I knew things will happen..not just the giveaway but the updates and so on.. bla bla bla:silly::silly:
But since than I was not posting anything couse some of the guys here tried to insult me instead
Called me to stop spamming and stop saying things that are ''unofficial''
They said it all over the place.. like ''oh, you again'' ''stop with this''
Now I want to ask who else did not lose the belive in Honor??
Who thinks that Honor now will be doing what thay had said in the partnership??:good:
And please I know those guys so you should not come over here and say you did
and belived all to the end..:silly::silly:

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.

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.
