Official OTA Files - Android One XT1900-1 Only

Using
Code:
adb logcat
I was able to grab the url and download each OTA. I have uploaded to my Android File Host account here.
I own the Android One Moto X4 XT1900-1 purchased from Project Fi and these only work on stock via stock recovery adb sideload. This is the same as taking the official OTA from the notification.
Dec - Blur_Version.27.21.2.payton_fi.google_fi.en.US (initial upgrade to Oreo)
Jan - Blur_Version.27.221.3.payton_fi.google_fi.en.US
Feb - Blur_Version.27.231.6.payton_fi.google_fi.en.US
Mar - Blur_Version.27.251.10.payton_fi.google_fi.en.US
Apr - Blur_Version.28.11.15.payton_fi.google_fi.en.US (upgrade to Oreo 8.1)

How can I install these files on my Moto X4, do you know?

Awesome you rock bro
Thanx a lot bro

Try to ADB sideload with stock recovery

I tried, and no success. I done this :
"adb sideload nameoftheupdate.zip" and i've had this message : "E: failed to unmount /"
I tried to set "mount /System" and redid the previous command but with no success again... any help ?
My moto X4 is on Project Fi Oreo (previously on Stock Moto, XT1900-7) and the bootloader is unlocked of course.

That is unfortunate. I'm not sure what advice to give next. I uploaded them in hopes to that it may help towards more customizations. Seems Lenovo really doesn't want to be like Google.

I plan to stay stock till development gets further.

THANK YOU for uploading this!! I am on a completely stock, locked, Project Fi moto x4 and was stuck on the 7.1.1 November update. Flashing the Oreo update via adb sideload worked perfectly

Glad this worked for you. :good: plan to do the same whenever I get March notification.

On my 5th attempt to sideload the 8.0 update. Tried different downloads, file paths, and PC. Same results.
Step 1/2Error applying update: 20 (ErrorCode: : kDownloadState InitializationError)E: Error in / sideload/package.zip ( Status 1)
Any ideas?

Downloaded the full 8.0 firmware file and flashed in fastboot. While setting up the phone, got prompt for Jan security update. Installed it and check for Feb update. Also downloaded and installed. Guess I had some kind of glitch in 7.1.1 that prevented me from receiving OTA's or sideloading with ADB. Figures.

Glad you got it working ?

I just saw your post in the other thread and was about to direct you here. I was in the same boat. My only guess is that the Oreo update isn't being sent to devices on Verizon's network, but security patches are? There's someone else who posted on these forums a while back with the same issue on Verizon.

I had even tried removing the Sim, rebooting, and checking over WiFi before manual flash. Still don't know what caused ADB sideload to fail.

Official March OTA added!

Official April OTA added!

I can't get adb sideload to work. Strange.... Anyone with an unlocked bootloader have success? TWRP won't do it either.

Also can't get sideload to work with unlocked bootloader. TWRP didn't work for me either. Can't tell why exactly it isn't working. My next thought was to try with a MicroSD Card.

I tried micro SD card with stock recovery and it did not mount. I just read that the newest update kills USB connectivity (besides charging) so it's probably best not to update until they fix that

So has the OTA files actually helped anybody? I thought I had at least one verified successful adb sideload done on a previous OTA.

[GUIDE] How to root your Nokia 8, and keep the ability to do official OTA updates

So as the official bootloader unlock broadened the audience of this from tinkerers/developers to basically everyone I thought this guide might me helpful for some...
PREREQUISITES:
- Unlocked bootloader (official or unofficial)
- latest magisk manager installed on phone (https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases)
- latest fastboot and adb binaries from google(https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools)
- latest twrp.img to boot (NOT FLASH), zip not needed (https://eu.dl.twrp.me/NB1/)
- Fully stock partitions (if you do not have this reflash latest stock via ostla), as OTA updates will do a integrity check.
- PC with WIN/OSX/LINUX with USB port^^ (on windows you might have to add .exe to the commands)
- disable automatic system updates in developer options, as you will still have to manually root the updated partition, so this makes sure you don't miss it. You still get notifications on available updates and can apply them easily(as you will see)
SETUP_STEPS:
1. Go into Magisk manager and "just download" the latest zip
2.1 Run
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
or reboot into download/fastboot mode via other means
2.2 Run
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-NB1.img
(change this when your version of twrp differs)
2.3 Flash the .zip magisk downloaded in 1.)
2.4 Reboot.
Congratulations you now have root!
STEPS_TO_UPDATE:
1. Go into Magisk Manager -> Uninstall -> Restore Images
2. Apply Update, DO NOT REBOOT YET
3. When step to finished and it promts you to reboot go into Magisk Manager -> Install -> Install to inactive Slot
Congratulations you can now reboot and will have an updated Android while keeping full root.

ALTERNATIVE GUIDE (without twrp, using prerooted boot.img)
(works for newest patch level, where twrp isn't working yet)
this guide works on newest patches as long as someone provides a prerooted boot.img.
So basically you either need a boot.img available or twrp...
Hopefully this helps until TWRP is compatible with September Security Patch
LINKS:
stock boot.img: (may to october patches)
https://cloud.vault81.de/s/fnoizKwi8kNF3Rg
prerooted boot.img: (may to october patches)
https://cloud.vault81.de/s/AeHiE5HR2qonb3N
PREREQUISITES:
- same as above minus twrp
- patched/prerooted boot image (either create it yourself or use link provided here)
STEPS_TO_ROOT:
0.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
or get into download mode otherwise
1.
Code:
fastboot boot NB1_prerooted_boot.img
1.1. The phone will boot into an temporarily rooted state,
2. Use magisk manager-> Install -> "Direct Install" to persist the root.
3. Reboot
Congrats you now have root even on versions where twrp isn't working yet....
Edit1:
Added link to all stock boot images from may to october security
Edit2:
Did the same for magisk prerooted
Edit3:
Added November images thanks to @czupyt

TWRP isnt working right now so whoever updated to September patch cant do anything except unlock bootloader. Unless someone can pull a boot.img from the newest patch so we can all patch it through Magisk and get root.

Simple Solution: A/B Partition System.
One Slot is the September Update, the other is August Update.
Update to September, Unlock, witch to other Slot with August Update, Boot Offical TWRP 3.2.3-0 (-1 not booting tho).
Now you can Install the Install Zip for the August BL and Magisk.
Bootup and use Magisk for Inactive Slot.
So did I, but I'm still on August Slot, I'll try to root the September Boot Partiton, and Install TWRP later when Fix arrived.
But rooted September doens't seem very... Stable

I'm already about to install the September patch again. I downgraded to May so I could root my phone and provide the clean boot.img from the stock September so people can root without twrp. And honestly A/B partition is still new to me that I still don't understand it

A/B system is not Complex at all. It's just having 2x a Partiton Group (Boot, System, OEM and Recovery I think) and having the ability with Fatboot to simply switch between group A and group B.
You Inital Set up Partiton A (Nokia did for us with Nougat 7.1.1). If you Update, the Update will be extracted to Partition B, aftzer finishing you reboot to Partiton Group B, leaving group A untouched in Case of Error on Partition B.
That's it pretty much.

On what step? Was it after you completed the guide? Or did the patched image not boot already?
If the patched image worked but it din't afterwards, you should reflash the stock_boot.img and redo the guide again because you probably flashed twrp and broke your bootloader...
As you can see in the prerequisites this guide requires a stock bootloader to start.

So did the prerooted Image Boot?
If so it basically has to be your boot/system partition(I had mine compromised too and couldn't fix it with just flashing boot.img had to reflash everything via ostla)
If even the prerooted Image didnt boot im sorry i don't really know how to help, as I have working root with Magisk on September patch and the Image boots just fine for me....

Also you could Switch slots to revert back to august Patch and use the normal twrp guide then... And run the September Update via the magisk method

Hey everyone;
My Nokia TA-1004 is on the July SP (4.88B_SP02) with unlocked bootloader (unofficial method), TWRP and Magisk installed.
Where can I find a stock boot.img to flash? I tried flashing the boot.img on this thread and although I can boot fine my wifi will be broken (I tried and had to restore nandroid backup). I also tried following the guide here but my OSTLA won't get past "Flashing Service Bootloader".
Any help?

Flash the full Stock build (i think its even may patch), via ostla (https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...ia-8-official-firmware-links-updated-t3678487), then follow this guide then reapply all updates by following the update steps...

So which file do I have to download from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1t64iHuQQjmMnzcujZtjYplh6ipbiF6Cw ? I tried with the 488B one and got stuck on "flashing service bootloader"...

[November 13th 2018] System Update 1.24.709.93 rolling out

Hey folks,
I just got the notification for a system update. TW Model, currently in Germany. However, I tried capturing the ota link for patching the boot.img, but it gives me an error. Anyone with more luck than me?
Greetings
Update:
I managed to get the OTA.zip off my phone, but the update itself fails at 24%. Restored stock boot.img before of course. Has someone already installed it?

Hong Kong variant still on 1.24.400.03, December 2017 security update [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
Sent from my HTC U11 plus using Tapatalk

September 2018 security on latest 1.24.709.93... Can't remember before that... And I couldn't spot any difference between the two, does anybody see anything new?
Inviato dal mio HTC_2Q4D100 utilizzando Tapatalk

I've got it too on my TW model in the Netherlands.
Besides the security patch going from June 1 to September 1 I don't see anything different yet. Then again, there weren't any bugs I'm aware of, that needed fixing. 700MB+ seems like a lot for 3 months of security patches though.
It's nice to get an update and be less behind in security patch date again.
Thanks, HTC!

U11+ from Europe...
Didn't get the june security patch, didn't get this one either...

Tw version in Malaysia. Already updated. Everything okay. Doesn't explore much because going to work. only feel different at the display color. Looked better

UK version, no update available so far and still on 1 December 2017 security patch. I'd settle for them fixing the notification issue.

did you manage to update?
same situation here: although I flashed back to original boot.img (included in the last OTA update end of July 2018 which was later patched by Magisk), the update stucks at 24% with red error. Luckily the phone boots normally without applied update.
Anybody any idea how to proceed? I already tried to flash back the original boot.img from the stock RUU and also to use the boot.img provided in the latest OTA: with both boot.img (although both have very same size) the phone stucks at HTC logo but does not continue to boot.
Currently the HTC U11+ boots only from the boot.img provided with 709.8 OTA, (also booting with the patched_boot.img done by Magisk derived from the same).
I am a bit stuck here: Magisk should not touch the system (so no idea why the OTA stops at 24%) and only 1 out of 3 boot images are working (although all with same size), so currently I am not able to apply the OTA update...
I have read that for OTA updates the integrity (?) of the recovery.img is important ( (although Magisk should also not touch the recovery.img (?)
Any ideas?
best regards, Marusia

Looks like htc forgot people are still buying their phones outside Taiwan, or they don't have enough money to hire a translator!! I am an old loyal customer for 8 years, but here they are doing everything to let us get another brand, it's like they stabbed themselves and slowly turning the knife to feel more pain

I also flashed the recovery.img from the latest OTA, but still the red triangle.
Is it possible to flash the whole OTA via fastboot? Maybe thats a possibility.

I also flashed latest OTA recovery,same result...
I guess the only way is to flash back to stock RUU (which will lead to unrooted phone), install latest OTA via WLAN, then unlock bootloader (via HTCdev website) and root again with Magisk. I never did RUU flashing, so currently backing up everything with Titanium, if I proceed I will let you know the result...
Flashing the latest OTA might brick the phone (the red triangle already indicates that something went seriously wrong, although I have no clue what it could be: never touched the system, Magisk only patches the boot.img), instructions should be in the forum.

Tried another thing: disabling the systemless Xposed (installed via Magisk), reboot, restoring boot.img via Magisk, OTA download & trying to install --> red triangle...
I cannot remember if I disabled Xposed before the last OTA update few months ago. I had there some issues too (after successful OTA install the phone stuck at boot so I had to reflash the OTA-boot.img again via fastboot), maybe this procedure broke the possibility to install current OTA.
Will maybe try to flash selectively restored stock RUU images (without applying first the whole stock RUU) on the weekend (I have been informed by PM that this procedure should be harmless), so reverting to whole stock RUU is still not the last option.

I downloaded OTA from the following link and flash "system.img" with fastboot command. I am now on 1.24.709.93

These OTA files dont contain system.img (the system.img file should be >4Gb).
1) Did you experience also OTA update issue (red triangle) as described in this thread?
2) Just to clarify: you flashed 1st the system.img derived from the stock RUU and afterwards applied the 709.93 OTA update?

[LINK] Internal OTA update to Android PIE for Nokia 8

Thanks to our friend @hikari_calyx, who provided Internal OTA Update zip package to Android Pie for Nokia 8, we can test it before Nokia release it. The link contains two zips
1) December patch for Oreo for Nokia 8
2) Update to Pie for Nokia 8
Link:
https://mega.nz/#F!W50gzawY!nC8Yb9yE6n08gGafFi700A
Preconditions:
1) All must be Stock, no root, magisk, xposed, no mods etc.
Steps you have to do is:
1) Download NB1-488L-0-00WW-B01-488K-0-00WW-B01-update.zip - this is December Security Patch
2) Update manually (2 ways)
a)
- Copy the file on internal memory root folder
- Dial
Code:
*#*#874#*#*
and there will be possibility of update (this way you may use this guide https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tutorials.md#ota-installation to keep Magisk)
b)
- Connect your phone to PC
- Go to stock recovery (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmewL1i50c0)
- Choose Apply Update from ADB,
- Type
Code:
adb sideload path_to_zip/NB1-488L-0-00WW-B01-488K-0-00WW-B01-update.zip
where path_to_zip is a path to the location of the file
- Wait and reboot phone, you should have December Security Patch
3) Repeat whole steps froim point 2) for the NB1-5110-0-00WW-B03-488L-0-00WW-B01-update.zip
4) Since @hikari_calyx provided us next internal update, repeat steps for NB1-5110-0-00WW-B05-5110-0-00WW-B03-update.zip and NB1-5110-0-00WW-B07-5110-0-00WW-B05-update.zip.
5) If you want to root your phone, here you may find stock and patched with twrp boot.imgs provided by @THMSP
https://mega.nz/#F!r3RUnaiC!p8FZqNpiPLK8XNwYusJv1Q
Like I wrote at the beginning, it is internal update, so I would strongly recommend to unlock bootloader in case something goes wrong. Additionally it is not known at the moment whether it can be possible to update to official version when it comes, so most likely downgrade will be necessary.
As always, you do all on your own risk and I won't be responsible for any damage you do to your phone.
PS: Here is the proof:

I'm rooted with magisk, can I update uninstalling magisk? or need reinstal firmware with OST?

Flash stock or restore stock by magisk, and than give it a try. If it won't work, than OST, downgrade and upgrade again till November, and than zip provided by @hikari_calyx. And than use images provided by @THMSP to root.

Seems the colleague is on SW older than 4.88B (which would be the update from May), therefore he cannot use ADB sideload directly.

To be clear - You flashed November /boot partition to October /system partition? Switch slots from active to inactive. If you flashed November boot to October boot, flash again October boot. All in all you can use OST LA to downgrade and upgrade again.

Seems the colleague is on SW older than 4.88B (which would be the update from May), therefore he cannot use ADB sideload directly.

Question Can´t root December update in pixel 6a

Hi, today i flash the december update in my pixel 6a, now i can´t root, magisk patch the image but when i flash it (fastboot flash boot magisk-patched.img) the phone join in a bootloop and need to reinstall the rom, any help?
I have seen below another thread with the same problem but they talk about the QPR2 beta and I don't know if the same procedure applies with the December update.
Thanks!

What do you mean? If bootloader is unlocked and you run 'fastboot flash boot "file" ' will it work fine.
You can also check the magic managers logs on /cache.

Make sure you don't have any Magisk mods that may need disabling and updating.
And no, the same procedure does not apply for the stable December update as it does for QPR2 Beta 1.

Yes, that is the procedure I am referring to, the one I have always used, it is strange, as I said, I have followed the same steps as always:
1. Download Factory image of december for Pixel 6a (the last one available in the web).
2. Extract boot.img
3. Patch it with latest magisk app (25.2)
4. Reboot to fastboot
5. Use command "fastboot flash boot magisk-patched.img"
The command is applied correctly but when rebooting the terminal stays in the "Google" logo and after a while it reboots and returns to the same "Google" screen, so in a loop.

I don't have any modules installed, it's a clean install of everything.
It will sound stupid but... I did the steps indicated in the other thread and I have solved the problem, I have root.
I downloaded the december image of the Pixel 7 Pro, extracted the boot.img, patched it with magisk and flashed it with the usual command "fastboot flash boot magisk-patched.img" and it let me boot without problems and working root.

thats crazy, Im on december update A13 and I had no issues whatsoever.
booted the image and then flashed through magisk instead of flashing it directly but still... if it were broken that wouldnthave worked

I know, the truth is that it makes no sense that I have given me this problem because I did not see anyone else with the December update talking about this particular problem, the closest thing was the post I mentioned with the beta, the phone had just arrived from the SAT but I do not think this influenced the problem, it came with the November update and I updated it to the December update.

You mentionned you downloaded the image for the Pixel 7 pro. I assume you made a type and are not flashing a pixel 7 pro image to a pixel 6a? If not then get the right image file.
Otherwise I suggest using the Pixel Flasher software posted in this forum. It's a really good piece of software.
No hassle with manual flashing anymore.
With Pixel Flasher I even update to new security patches with keeping root in like 4-10 minutes, by just downloading the image and then clicking a couple buttons
