Given that we are many who suffer from the hard brick since the April patch I hope someone with the knowledge and skills can help us with their help to build blankflash or show us how it is done because learning is always good.
Bootloader Versions:
In marshmallow 6.0.1 until Noviembre: VC 0.14
In Nougat 7.0 Febrery : C 1.05
In Nougat 7.0 March : C 1.06
In Nougat 7.0 April : C 1.07
I think this can serve:

I read that but let me get this straight. You can brick it for restarting the bootloader and not the phone? Or is there a problem changing bootloader versions from MM to N?
Sent from my XT1635-02 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Well, what I did was on the latest (April) nougat version. Tried to factory reset and relock bootloader, which didn't work. So I reloaded the last downloadable factory unsigned rom, and after it all installed it restarted and didn't come back on. Only the led flash.. So now.. Here I am.. Waiting for the damn blankflash from the April release or maybe even the 7.1.1 blankflash to surface. ?
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
I hard bricked my Moto X2 last year which led me to buy the MZP, and I'm still waiting for the [email protected] blank flash.... Lenovo will never "release" them I'm afraid.
Damn. That sucks. Now I'm afraid of flashing full factory images. I just flashed the April security patch and then upgraded to 7.1.1 through sideload. I guess I'll just make a backup and not try to downgrade using full images.
Sent from my XT1635-02 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Factory resetting is safe as long as you don't flash (downgrade) gpt and bootloader. I learned that the hard way. I always skip those commands which are usually the first two.
Let me tell you my issues and how i solved them.
I was on stock and had updated to April's patch. Then I moved to LOS. After some weeks I wnet back to stock 7.0, which comes with January's patch if I am not mistaken.
After flashing it, I could get to the system normally, but kept getting a "bad key" message on boot and always boot first to booloader, than I had to press "Start" to go to system.
Well, when I tried to sideload 7.1.1 I couldn't. It kept failing on the verification step. What I did (and it worked) was to flash the stock ROM again, but direclty with April's patch. Here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545567726
Then, after that I could sideload 7.1.1 and it is everything ok now. The only thing is the "bad key" warning on boot, but it ends up booting direclty to system as it should.
Hope it helps.

It's not the same issue, but thanks anyway.
What if I downgraded from N + January to Marshmallow, then OTA'd to N + February, then the March patch afterwards? I haven't gotten the April patch yet. Will I be okay to install the OTA once it hits my carrier? I don't plan on downgrading, but I'm wondering if I'll be bricked just by installing the April update alone. From what I've read it only happens when downgrading after having the April patch installed, but I just want to be sure.
If your have an updated bootloader and down grade and the receive the ota or flash firmware you will end up hard bricked phone.
The only safe way to downgrade is bye having a unlocked bootloader and flash TWRP flashable zips.
Never mess with bootloader's on Moto devices cause eventually you'll end up bricked

As we all know Sept 29th the new Nexus models with Marshmallow will launch. For fun, what is everyone prediction on when we will see an official update to Marshmallow. My guess is Nov 6th.
21 days or less from code availability.
Moto X Pure Edition (Verizon)
Sept. 29. Mark my words ?

How would rooted users install the marshmallow update?
11/10, that way my Nexus devices will be up to date while I ignore them for Fallout 4.
My guess is Thanksgiving. Keep us distracted with phone issues or turkey... One way or another we will pass out from the process...
4 weeks from when it is first available on a nexus device.

Beauty of an unlockable bootloader ... Return to stock, get OTA. Only potential "issue" is that TWRP/root for M may take a bit (not sure on that though as I'm no dev)
-OR-
Wait for one of the great devs to post a stock-rooted flashable ROM.

Absolutely! :good:
While I'm very excited for Marshmellow, as others have stated, I don'y think we will have to wait for the official rom to drop. There will be some awesome devs that port it to out devise from the Nexus devises long before it's officially available.
My guess you have to be pretty quick after release because unlike in previous years we no longer have to wait for carriers to approve the updates
3 weeks from code release...Based on how the lollipop rollout went for the 2014 Moto X. I do want to mention that this "update to marshmellow" we are all guessing will be within the month of Oct. will most likely be only a soak test.

If it's anything like my Moto G 2nd gen I ain't even got LP 5.1.1. Moto updates are just as bad as ever

We already know it includes the June Security Patch. Hopefully they fixed the problems we've been having with MM as well.
Here's the tiny (59.1mb) update.zip: Link
Yeah I just got it. I am going to wait to update though.
I received the notification too. Probably just the June security updates that all the other carriers already rolled out.

I don't think so. Normally if it's just the security update, the info on the update just says "This update includes the latest Android security updates."
This says enhancements and improvements along with Android security updates.

This one actually rebooted the phone and started it up from scratch and optimized Android system. The previous security updates have never done that to my phone.
How do I keep from getting this? Already on MM with unlocked bootloader. I should say it's already on my phone waiting for me to apply it.

No mention of fixing camera quality or music skipping problems.
Just finished the update. Takes you up to 6.0.1. Don't see much else different.
EDIT: NM, didn't even realize the last update was 6.0.1. Thought it was just 6.0

Ahh nice. I didn't even see the mention of the security updates.
Did Verizon patch the aboot.mbn for 15 EMMC users, or is it always included in updates? There is a new aboot and boot.img file included in the new PF4 OTA zip.

Getting mine too
Hey guys, I have a question I hope someone can help me out with. I have the sm-g935v which I flashed to sm-g935u. I'm considering flashing it to sm-g935t since the unlocked firmware will be getting quarterly updates which is unfortunate, and I would like to use samsung cloud, FM radio, and now Nougat. Would I have to factory reset my phone back to the verizon firmware before flashing tmobile's, or can I just flash from my current unlocked firmware straight to tm? Prior to Nougats release, I had downloaded the latest tmobile firmware and tried to flash it with no success so not sure what I did wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OTA
Won't taking the OTA update certain partitions we don't necessarily want to update? Like the BL, for example? Could this prevent rolling back to 6.0.1 if there are issues? Or does this not matter since we don't have an unlocked BL anyway? Thanksssss

The update is for T-Mobile users using the T firmware. You are on the US Unlocked firmware.
I got this also and updated this morning. Very smooth and loving it! Did OTA update and one thing i noticed after updating i wasn't able to clear my cache like before. When i power down, hold all 3 buttons (power, home and up key) get a screen more like a warning saying installing other firmware's or roms can damage my device. Not the exact wording but similar. Has anyone else tried doing that and got the same warning msg?

Updates are region and or Carrier dependent. Updates are rolling out soon for all other variants. Next update will be August security patch. Now don't go around asking in September why we don't have a September security patch yet.
I really don't get why people bug out for Security patches. You are more likely to drop your phone in a puddle of water in the middle of the desert than be hacked because a month or two outdated security patches on Android.
Anyone got the update's changelog ?
