Offical OREO OTA RETUS released - Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion

I received a new unlocked Moto Z XT1650-03 RETUS from B&H Photo. I booted it up and after multiple system updates the last one updated to Oreo build OPL27.76-51. So out of the box I am on Oreo without any side loading or unlocking bootloader.

Not on RETUS unlocked. Only just starting to receive OTA now.
Very few have gotten it.
The only problem we had was the battery charging was messed up until we cleared the cache in recovery.

What battery charging issue are people having? Mine seems ok but I never used the device other than multiple OTA on first boot and got to Oreo.

Our problem with the battery charging occured after the OTA to Oreo RETUS.
The OTA was performed at about 80% charged, after the OTA the charger was connected and the battery percentage continued to drop fairly quickly. This was despite trying two different chargers and cables which tested fine on other devices.
The cache cleared in recovery fixed the problem and normal charging returned. No issues since.

you can't nor should use the tmobile update, it will brick your phone. if you don't have a ATT SIM to get it automatically you will have to do it all manually.
Beware the update break quite a couple things, including the battery life that gets all out of wack. I am still reading to check if it makes sense to update or to stay in a firmware that can be use as a daily driver with a good battery life.

I dont kniow what have you read but I have 2 weeks on 5.0.2 on my D800 and the battery is better, its true that the UI its a little bit in the laggy side but i have a lot of widges. The update its worthy, the things I miss from 4.4 are the wireless storage (accesible from the togle menu) and the album widget, everything else its ok for me
I update my D800 to 5.0.2 and I really love it.

I did the OTA (using AT&T sim) and hard reset a few times through recovery to ensure everything was clean to start with. Most things work great, but battery life has been strange. Last weekend it was around 80% charged and I put it down. Came back a few hours later and it was off because the battery died. This morning I took it off the charger after being on all night (showed 100%). Plugged it into my computer and it then showed 33%.
I also see odd things in the battery control panel showing estimated remaining battery life of 48 hours sometimes. If I were to guess I'd say it's an issue with battery calibration, but who knows. My suggestion is to stick to kitkat for now until a newer version of Lollipop is released for the G2. If you do go with the current OTA version of KK, a hard/factory reset is highly suggested.

You can try instaling (if you have not already done it) a battery calibration app, for me its not a hardware fault but a software one, hope you can resolve it!

Nthing, you can press the "thanks" button too!
Reviving an old thread but even I have the same requirement. I currently use an unlocked AT&T G2 on Lycamobile (Tmobile MVNO) and never get the Lollipop OTA. It always says the current version is already installed.
My question is, if I get an at&t SIM somehow (does it needs to be activated?), will the Lollipop update show up immediately? Are all the initial issues with Lollipop currently resolved? Is it better to stay off the Lollipop version?

New H918 Oreo Security Update

So the wave of the Oct. Security Update for the H918 is out. This new version is completely safe to update since this is still ARB 1 (See attached pictures).
Is it strictly security, or are there any UI/UX bugfix or additions?

I got this notification for a system update and I just rooted about a week ago.
Since im rooted can I accept and install the system update. If yes how do I do this in twrp. Will I loose root?

If you accept, the phone will go into a bootloop since the stock recovery has been replaced by twrp. So don't accept the update. Reflashing the ROM would stop the bootloops if you just so happen to accept it.

To me I believe its just strictly security tbh since I haven't noticed anything else. I will see if performance has been improved or not

Actually I did accept it when I first saw the notification then when I realized I was rooted (about 4 years without root) the phone booted in to TWRP and I freaked out ... so I moved the slider to see TWRP was asking to enter some sort of password or key for it to continue. but then I saw the cancel button and I cancened and it took me back to the main TWRP screen where I just rebooted the system without issues.
The only reason I rooted was because OREO battery life was 10 % per hour weather I touched or did not touch the phone. I thought this security patch might have battery optimizations.
But thanks for your replay, I'm going to stay away from this system update since I'm rooted not. I guess I got luck and not bricking my phone.
20G Security Update Changelog
FYI
Software versions & updates: LG V20
Android Security Bulletin—October 2018

New update 52.0.A.3.202

Have you received it and any changelog? Battery seems much better to me now.
I received it also, no issues so far.
But how do you make any assumptions on battery life in case you just received it today?

Sometimes. I want to rollback to android 8 but I cant.
It's easy to rollback, just need flashtool and xperiFirm that is integranted into flashtool, CE1 (Central Europe) variant is on Oreo, so you can download that version and flash it. You will lose all you data, deleting everything assures that the instalation will be OK

I succeed with germany version of oreo. I found the ftf file from one of czech website and flashtool recognise that. Happy with this firmware now.
These updates are just monthly security, so I don't thing they would mess with battery life or performance of the phone whatsoever.
The actual build of Pie didn't change from the first one in November 2018, just security updates and thats all.
They didn't even bother to fix the sound issue, that is mostly common reported one.
Regarding WiFi problem, mine works without problems from the day 1 on Pie.

What is that sound problem that is reported by users ?
Thank you
It's so strange that the WiFi works fine on some phones and doesn't work at all on the rest. It can't be a hardware issue since the Wifi works fine on Oreo.

Is there a way to preserve appdata without rooting the device?
P.S.
To anyone who is rooted, is the there a rooted build available for this yet?

Android 10 OTA released again.

I just got ota update released again, it is 1.15 GB, i will wait with update.
I am located in Eastern Europe. Good luck
Have received the notification.
Can confirm the size.
Will not install it for now.
I am on Android Pie, so i don't know what's up with people who have Android 10 already installed.

Is it the same update as few days ago?
11.0.4? If yes ,then I wonder why they stop the OTA just to start it over without changing/fixing anything...
It's like xiaomi devs are a bunch of amateurs who doesn't own this device therefore unable to test their updates and just hope for the best when they release one...
Yes it's the same 11.0.4.0

I'm on Q from the first update - 11.0.2.0 - which is running without major bugs, just a bit worse battery usage and less maximum brightness They don't offer me any update yet.

There's a process for applying the OTA or a fastboot image you can use to upgrade.
I expect you'll get a OTA offer soon anyway. I just missed it last time but got it now. OTA from 10.0.20.0

Question Android 12 update

Anyone that already got the update can comment any improvements or problems you are experiencing?
I have big battery drain with Android 12
My experience with Xperia phones is that there is often a period of increased battery drain the weeks after an Android version upgrade. Sometimes, I needed a factory reset to make it go away. But, I didn't have to do that when my 5 II went from Android 10 to 11.

Nope. And after the 12 update, phone doesn't get warm when charging
Any advice to get the update on the states?
I'm super curious how to get the update, OTA has nothing and the xperia app tells me I'm updated, but I'm still on Android 11 and https://xpericheck.com/XQ-BC52/23119804 tells me it's been out for weeks. I'm in Denmark so I'm guessing it's the right package in the URL.
Feel like a noob asking but it's super weird if they stagger it so long I think

True that. Also have the XQ-BC52, and I got the update via OTA about two weeks ago, I'm from Sweden. Really nice update since it seems like all the "heating issues" is gone now Now this phone is pure pleasure!

i'm afraid you are forced to flash your update via Newflasher. Probably you got my same problem (but with 5 II): your device don't receive OTA updates at all? If is this the case, then yes, you have to update it manually. Sorry.

Hi and thanks, my 5III did get two security updates so it's able to get OTA.
Interestingly enough the xperia companion also is stuck on Android 11 it seems telling me there is no new update...mmmm I'll wait a bit before trying to flash the official version manually

I made repair fon and get A12 from xperia companion. But its like a factory reset!
so I waited until the OTA update after Android 12 and that brought my 5 III up to 12 and on that OTA version so that was easier
Cheers guys !!
No issues with Android 12. Battery seems a little better. New UI is meh. Not a big upgrade, but not bad.
