posting news about the soak test is not confidential or illegal, however extracting the update, releasing pics and generally talking about it in public with people who are not in the test IS illegal

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

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

Moto G4 Plus IS getting Android O.

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.

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.

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.

Maybe I missed it, but what exactly did Huawei/Honor deliver?
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.

FunkeyHuawei EVR-L29 9.0.0.184

It's obviously a question, I have no reason to advertise their services.

Like I said, I'm updating tomorrow morning but by your response, maybe I should keep the feedback to myself.

If it is a question, maybe it belongs in the Questions section. Guides, News, & Discussion is more for posting a public link of say the latest rom (which would sit in Roms & Development) while listing out what the new features are and discussing those said features.

Why would you pay soneone to get something that ahould free. It's highly suspicious anyway that XDA is shilling their services . The new Rom is already available via ota, if not then just wait a little bit.
XDA and funky Huawei could easily just leak the tools server side tools and roms, make everything public as it's supposed to be.. but instead they choose ......

Why are you prompting such a paid service that goes against all principles of the android open community? Not meant as an insult, just a legitimate question.
They ask 66 USD for unlock codes that can be obtained 75% cheaper for example, how fair is that to the community? Or charge money for an update that should be free. It's 2019 com on bro.

I didn't pay for the unlock code from them. I paid 22$ for that. It's 55USD for an unlock code for me from Funky.
Updates should be free. Yes. But when I'm working with 3 other guys trying to get the AL00 to as close to a L29 as possible I update, and provide files, libs and props. So the credits come for me at a fraction of the cost.
I have even stated in telegram, that once credits run out, I will not buy anymore
Ok bro
@duraaraa - EVR-LGRP2-OVS 9.0.0.184 is showing getting package info failed on my EVR-L29. Is this the correct file? Have DNS set and have used Funky before, so not sure what the issue is.
Update worked for me but there's no info in the changelog and the only changes I've noticed so far are the Security Patch is January 1, 2019 and the camera has a Super Macro option.
The biggest issue for me so far is that although the update itself didn't factory reset the phone, the bootloader got locked during the update so I had to unlock it again which prompted a factory reset.
I had to use the unlock code again so I'm glad I saved it.
Also, have not been able to install the patched recovery_ramdisk yet. Getting an error when trying to boot holding Vol+.
Can't say it's been the smoothest update and had I known of the issues, I wouldn't have done it

I've seen this news from one telegram channel that update with January security patch locks the bootloader forever and blocks downgrading to older firmware. How true is that??

Android Q

I'm surprised that no one has been talking about the anticipated release date.
Last year, Android Pie DP1 came out March 7th, so I was hoping that Q would have come out yesterday. I'm anxious to try this out.

Once it goes live you go to their link and sign up. OTA comes shortly after that. The link will be all over the place, it's very public. It will be all over XDA.
Be aware, if you get in on the beta and decide to go back to P you will get a full data wipe.
