Today I update to the 30O than immediately updated to 33R and now I am getting a constant system UI crashed pop-up. I have rebooted multiple times. Anyone else get this or know how to fix?
I'd clear the cache / fix permissions. Seems like you flashed something bad. Ultimately I'd recommend a clean install.
I think it might have had something to do with root. I flashed SU and removed a root app and all seems good.
Hi all,
I tried finding for a way to disable system updates (OTA's) completely. The search function revealed some methods, but all of them seem to be device specific - anyone got an idea how to kill updates on the OPO? Reason being is that I am very very happy with my current setup, and I don't want to change it under any circumstances (and if I do at some point, it should be my decission). So I keep canceling update notifications, but the phone is still downloading them - at 90MB each. And keeps doing so whenever I cancel, so I'm wasting 500-600 MB per month out of my 3GB data package.
Phone is fully rooted, running stock CM11-XNPH05Q with TWRP 2.8.5.1 bacon.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Goto System/apps Find any app related to OTA updates Just Delete it and reboot.
Use Root explorer.

Oh no, don't delete it, that's a terrible idea. First, it won't work, you can't just delete system apps through that menu. Secondly, you have no idea if deleting a system app is going to send the phone into an unrecoverable boot loop. The best idea is to freeze the update app with Titanium Backup, root required of course.

Isn't CM11-XNPH05Q the latest OTA? So what updates would you be nagged about then? I'm on 44S and I've freezed the system update apk to stop being nagged about installing CM11-XNPH05Q.

I have been nagged with all updates since I got the OPO about 9 months ago, I configured my phone the way I wanted it back then, didn't miss any particular features and never encountered any specific bugs that annoyed me. Just last weekend I updated to 05Q to get rid of notifications for now, and the new updated that pushed some unwanted software on me (swiftkey and something else that installed as system apps) fortified my decision to get rid of all future update and not change the running system again. Oh and it sucks to re-root every time, survival mode of SuperSU Pro doesn't seem to work.
Do you realise that there's a reason for updates? They bring fixes for bugs, added fluidity and/or stability, added features, plus a metric crap-ton of stuff under the hood. Plus, it literally takes me 30 seconds to flash SuperSU after an update.
Well as I said, I don't care about new features if I'm happy with the current ones, and if there are no obvious bugs, I don't care.
And I really, really hate it when dev's are pushing unwanted crap [aka 'system apps'] on me.
Fair enough, if you're happy with the phone the way it is, leave it the way it is.
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.
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.
Uninstalled supersu, flashed stock recovery, downloaded security update. But while install getting the dead andi symbol with 'error'. upon reboot says the update install was unsuccessful. phone functions normally.

Uninstalling SU doesn't disable root. Did you unroot?

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.

No problems here... Spent a good 2 hours on the phone last night after getting the update and no one said anything.

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

What Moto Update app??? I don't see such a thing listed under Apps in settings.
The phone has the latest (November) security update for the OS. However, the Google Play system update is somehow stuck at September, even though it prompted for reboot twice so far.
The first time this happened around a month ago and after the reboot, the update hadn't switched from September to October, as one would expect. Yesterday, the same thing occurred again - a pending Google Play system update, prompting for a reboot. But after the reboot, the phone is somehow still stuck at September.
I think the only logical explanation is that the phone failed to apply the update twice. Has anyone else noticed this?
The phone is not rooted and is running the stock version of the OS.
Try clearing Google Play Services Cache and without rebooting, check for updates.
If this doesn't work, clear Google Play Services data, and check for update. (Don't worry, these are temp files and your data won't be lost.)
Okay, note to self: don't clear the Play services data. I just lost the COVID-19 contact tracing data
The "Check for update" button doesn't find anything new, not after clearing the cache, nor the data. Reboot also doesn't change anything.
But this is actually not my main issue. I do get updates once in a while, but after the reboot, nothing is updated - like it fails or something. The last two updates failed, but it worked as expected on all previous ones (I have the phone for a bit over a year now).
Today I noticed that the "Google Play system update" indicator has turned from green to red, since it hasn't been updated for 3 months. Is the September update really the last one?

Yes,it's the last Google Play system update available for Pixel 3a.
Today I randomly checked for an update for "Google Play system update" and I got a "Download & Install" prompt.
Long story short, it worked and I'm now on the December update.
In case somebody missed it, you can update manually, info on this thread

So you phone stuck at older google play system update like my and every time you try to check for it says you have last version. You dont need to unlock phone or to root it. Update is instaled as normal apk file. Do it at your own risk! Im not...
