Would this serve for Motorola G6 Spanish too? And could it be installed in the same way as the soak?

This is not certified on the playstore... I updated it via ADB, but as an official one, I thought it would be certified. My device is not unlocked.
Other than that, I'm glad the audio volume is normal again (compared to the previous soak test).

The soak is an update, so no you don't install this the same way. This is an entire firmware package. Fastboot, or RSDlite.

If your device isn't certified anymore, you did something wrong dude. Wipe data for the play store and check again after a while (it's not instant)

I'm installing all my apps, when the phone finishes, I'll try cleaning it.
I double checked every ADB command, so it's not my fault.

Did you root? Set magisk hide properly. If you installed the full firmware (fastboot not ADB) Including formatting data, you have to wait a bit to see if it's certified. Until the play store finishes all of it's communication.

Im also seeing device not certified in the play store after flashing this. Also have system integrity compromised when checking for updates. Came from unmodified 8.0 with playstore certified and system intergity was fine.
Downgraded back to 8.0 and call audio is broken and silent.

Gonna go ahead and give this a shot, see if I have any luck with it.

No root, no unlocked bootloader. Cleaned the play store cache, still uncertified. Not that it matters much to me.

This message is due to an unlocked bootloader. You can try locking it back.

Any specific procedure for rsd lite
And i can update on top of 9.0 soak test ?

Just checked it on mine G6, it's because you switched software from your factory variant to BR one, everything should work after flashing final Pie for your region

RSDLite runs full clean flash so you can flash it over soak.

So, I installed last night when I saw this post, have used my phone all day, with no Google Play Services issues, like others seem to have, I DID however notice something really odd, maybe someone has some input? I noticed I had a voicemail, so I went into voicemail to check it, no sound, like, I can't hear anything via the speaker. My sister tried calling, I called her back, she couldn't hear me and I couldn't hear her. Notifications are fine, I can hear those, music playback is fine, I can hear that. It's just when IN A CALL that the speaker seems to not work. Anyone ever encountered this and maybe have some feedback?

Then it's weird.
It might just be the software issue, as mine also shows that device is not certified, although I can use Play Store with no issues at all.

No such issue here, maybe try reinstalling it again with RDSLite? Everything seems to work fine after ~30h use, also SoT increased a little comparing to soak.

Looks like it was just a modem update. Nothing too serious.
Only difference that I can make our is teh baseband updated from G935TUVU1APB6 to G935TUVU1APB8
Modem updates are generally about that size too if I'm not mistaken.

Hard to tell without looking at the actual update. They could have added something else into it that's just not showing up in the ABOUT section.
Got mine this morning as well.
Did it earlier this morning, so far so good, not noticing anything unusal.

Isn't the bootloader locked? I thought root was dead as it is.
Maybe its a quiet update that will allow us to unlock the bootloader . Anyone toy with it yet? Wishful thinking im sure, but stranger things have happened.

I did the 41mb update we all got, and now every time it checks for software updates I get a force close. I haven't tried resetting yet, it's kind of a pain, but has anyone else encountered this?

During the update, it seemed the device goes into Download mode, flashes new radios and firmware. Yay stability?
For me boot time is noticeably slower, and I have more trouble with apps on the sd card not having icons/being available for much longer at boot than before the update. Tests of sd transfer speeds are somewhat slower post update.
After the update, my wireless connection is TERRIBLE.
At first I thought my wireless router, but everything else in the house works great :-\ If I turn off the wifi, everything is normal. I'm glad I have truly unlimited LTE, because this is going to be annoying until they release an update patch.
I've already booted to bootloader and cleared the cache, no help. It's like a delay in connecting to anything wireless... Speedtest won't run because it times out on the ping test.
Hangouts works, but it's delayed. When I type a message, it says, "sending...." for about 20 seconds before it sends. :-\
If this is a nuisance at work all day today, I'll probably just backup everything and push the original stock rom from KIES.

I would imagine force stopping the system update software would get rid of the message and then using something like Package Disabler Pro to disable it would prevent it from checking again.

How to Disable Ota update?

Hey guys, there is a new update that keeps bothering me but I don't want to update. I'm rooted. How do I get rid of the notification to reboot and install??
Could I use titanium backup for this??
Thanks!!
It seems the update notification is coming from Google Play services. I wouldn't recommend disabling that package.
I would just follow these instructions and you should be good.
Can someone tell me what software version I'm supposed to be on? Just got the phone today and the baseband seems to be correct according to T-Mobile website but the google security version is dated 5-1-2016.

10i is the latest, you can root 10d following the guide here by tungkick, it applies to 10d as well, and read autoprimes all in one here. A video on YouTube helped as well. I would root, install twrp on the build you are on then use autoprimes zip to go to 10i located here.

If you have checked for an update manually and don't see one it might just take some time. I would personally not update, root 10d and then flash autoprimes 10i bringing you up to date.

Does 10i fix gps? I was concerned about gps coming from the S6 Edge. They were warning me in the store about all these issues that the G5 supposedly has (not gps but other things) and I had read my self about everybody's gps problems. So I tried it out a little while ago and it seemed like it was bouncing around a little bit while standing still but while driving it worked pretty accurately, other than the google navigation arrow being sideways in the wrong direction.

O boy, not sure whats going on but the phone keeps rebooting after using LGUP and it says bootloader failed in red even though it is succesful in LGUP. The first tot i downloaded on the phone and then transferred to the computer. Im retrying with it downloaded right to the pc. Also i think things may be wonky as i already had LG USB mobile driver exe installed for LG G4. IDK what the issue is here. EDIT.......GRRR stupid me , I never unlocked the bootloader as I forgot about it because it wasnt in the root instructions. I have no idea what to do now. Phone is in a bootloop.

I ended up fixing it. 4 hours later lol. First time I messed up because I forgot to unlock boot loader. Second time i was having issues with the storage encryption after flashing autoprimes H83010i......so I had to redo everything all over again from scratch. I kept messing things up because I wasn't able to thoroughly read because I was on someone else's computer who was hovering over me and trying to make me hurry. Finally landed on 10i rooted, installed xposed, adaway etc.........after all these flashes battery pulls etc I'm not sure it was so good for the health of my phone lol. Also I'm pretty sure there's an update that just was released yesterday so it feels kinda pointless. Anyways, is there a way to disable the annoying messages on reboot and or change the boot screens?
Sighs, I really don't want to have to go through all of that just to get rid of an update message. Is there any other way? My phone is perfect on 10d.

Downloading it now. I will be really interested to see if they managed to address the stand-by bug that was causing excess drain and upgrade the modem firmware to improve connectivity. Those are the two main remaining issues with this phone. Hopefully they also implemented a method to force applications into full-screen, but I'm not holding my breath on it.

Already disappointed on the modem firmware front. No upgrade there. Also, no ability to force full-screen. Going to pass judgement on stand-by bug after 48 hour or so, unless obviously an issue.
The fact that it was not released to beta first makes me think it may just be an official release of the beta

I sure as hell hope not because the deep-sleep issue is horrible. You lose an average of 1.5-2h of actual SoT and the drain is regularly >1% per hour in stand-by.

I was in the same boat as you. I was on 8.1B1 rooted so I fastboot flashed the boot.img, then rebooted , downloaded the OTA which wouldn't install.
Went back to boot-loader, flashed the boot.img to both slots, rebooted, took OTA, and it still won't work. I get "couldn't update installation problem"
I didn't have an issue getting the last OTA, the same way.
I dunno
Edit: Mine just did a factory data reset on boot up. I think I'll be able to install the OTA now.....

Yea..not looking to start over.
The OTA I downloaded was off the reddit announcement thread. I'm assuming that guy pulled it off the device. Essential said they were going to post "sideloading files" also. So, I'm hoping that those are somehow different. (Otherwise why wouldn't they just throw a link up there)
Wonder if Essential pushed it since Pixel is now offering pre release of Android P?
My radio has noticeably improved, instead of VZW its finally showing Verizon wireless. And the new developer options are nice

My install wasn't working either at first (same boat as you guys, Magisk rooted with custom kernel). At first I just did a Magisk uninstall and reboot but it wouldn't install. Thought maybe I still had a custom recovery installed, but there was no TWRP in recovery. So, I just did a sideload install of the 8.1 beta using adb and then rebooted. That put me back on stock 8.1b1 and retained all my settings/data. Then I made sure my settings were correct in developer options (USB debugging, etc.), and it's finally installing. Not sure, maybe I just didn't hold my mouth right the first couple times, but it's working now.
Can anyone tell me if stable has multitouch issues that were on beta?
Rooted 7.1.1 took the update just fine, lost root and twrp
Looking at META_INF\com\android\metadata, it's expecting essential/mata/mata:8.1.0/OPM1.180104.010/144:user/release-keys but, based on the text at the top of the screen when sideloading, the device is at ssential/mata/mata:8.1.0/OPM1.180104.010/144:user/test-keys. Changing it is pointless, since META_INF\MANIFEST.MF contains a SHA-256 hash of of the metadata file. I'm going to try recomputing the hash and updating the OTA zip.
Edit: Didn't work. But has someone on reddit confirm Jank4AUs situation.

I think so but it's from ta-1020 just one sim
Something tells me we won't be getting android P/
Hi all! I I tell you guys what is my first experience with the new update. I have a Nokia 3 TA-1032 dual sim, I use it with SD card, and I formatted as an internal storage. When today I decided to search for some updates to the system, and suprise: Hell ya boy, it have. So first the update is downloaded, then reboot. The phone was failed. I don't know what happened. So a reboot again whatta heck is happened, and I just see, the background image has changed, and all of the app icons dissappeared, and sadly some of the apps are lost huge amount of data. But! No upgrade. I'm quite not happy. After this, I repeated the update 2 times: failed. Than I decided to eject(I mean pick it out from my device) my SD card, and repeat the process. Remember, my SD is formatted as an integral storage. After this circus I finally get the update, and installed. So, I just looked my apps: hello Google, nice unnecessary apps what you got there. Your eyes my friend is good: with the update, we get some unnecessary apps, like: Google docs, and other type of things. I'm so happy Nokia. Oh, and the new 8.1 system is using more ram! JUST THE SYSTEM WITHOUT APPS! Please guys, think twice before installing this "very useful and super" update...
please give some reviews on oreo 8. 1 update
is there any performance and Battery improvement?
Hello, I never wrote here, but I am desperate and I need your help. I upgraded to 8.1 tonight and it really sucks, I asked Nokia on their chat but it doesn't seem to be possible to rollback to 8.0, can I root my phone or something?

Only thing you can do is flash a 7.x rom using ost then upgrade to 8.0, but you will lose all your data.
There are threads on how this is done. I'm guessing you haven't unlocked your bootloader
Indeed, I never did anything like that, at all, I know nothing when it comes to telephones, so all these root and bootloader things scare me a lot. But I just can't keep 8.1, it turns on the screen when I get a notification, I can't play pokémon go, and the brightness is wrong. This is such a mess, also I have no money to buy another phone, I just want to cry
By the way, why do I have to rollback to 7 instead of 8 directly? And how can I ensure that I'll get 8.0 instead of 8.1 when I upgrade? Sorry for all these questions but as I said I know nothing, if you can give me detailed steps and/or links to relevant guides I'll be grateful.

No, I *want* the notifications to be on the lock screen, but I don't want the screen to lit up when I receive a notification. Because, as other people said elsewhere, if I receive a notification while the phone is in my pocket, it might start doing other things since the screen became responsive instead of staying off. But I do want to see the notifications on the lock screen if I press the power button, otherwise I'd need to unlock the phone all the times. I hope that this makes sense.
None of that matters anyway since I'm mainly disappointed by Pokémon Go.

As for performance: it's MUCH better. Everything opens at least twice as fast as on 8.0, but there's a sacrifice for this: the general smoothness of system has degraded. In-app performance is best and it's pretty smoother than 8.0, but in such places as recent apps menu and drop-down bar it's quite laggy.
As for battery, I see no changes at all.
Yes, in 8.1 the recent apps menu is terrible laggy. I hope they fix it as soon as possible.
Is there any gcam 6.1xxxxx working on nokia 3??
This is the ****est update i had ever got.
only December patch in india no oreo 8.1
my phone is not even charging after the update

Root your G7 with Magisk

Notice: before doing it, make sure your phone bootloader is unlocked or it won't work
This will require you to find a matching full ROM. To find your matching channel, go to Settings > About Phone > Software channel
Lookup the first two letters and find the matching ROM there
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/river/official/
If your phone channel is "US Retail", download RETUS (retail US)
After you have downloaded the full ROM (you should keep the full ROM in case you want to revert to stock unrooted), unzip and get boot.img. Copy the image to your phone and use Magisk to patch the image. After that, copy the output image to your host computer.
Now turn your phone off, press and hold power + volume down to enter bootloader, connect your phone to host computer, and enter
Code:
fastboot flash boot
Press space once and drag and drop the output image file to command window.
If everything goes well, restart the phone and confirm it is rooted with Magisk
Now you have rooted G7
Nice solution. Did not even need TWRP for this either.
Seems to be oversimplified. I'm sure this makes perfect sense to those that go through the root process often or at least recently.
Unfortunately I'm not one of those. Last device I rooted was about 5-6 years ago.
I'll be doing my homework on the new tools and procedures while waiting for a more detailed step-by-step guide.
Thank you for your efforts and at least I know that root is possible.
Please can you guys make the steps easy to understand...some people here are new in this method.... Thanks
Question
What will my mirror be if Software Channel says Amazon?

I don't think Amazon version allows you to unlock the bootloader
Alternative method: look at the appendix of model on the box and find a matching one

I was able to unlock mine from amazon, it was XT1962-1 and said software variant amz and software channel amazon. For root I did have to flash with stock rom. The steps I took are listed in moto g7 questions thread. Look for amazon in the title.
I just picked up a G7 to play with today.
@mingkee I'm assuming these are similar to the Pixel devices when an OTA is sent we can just reflash the Stock boot.img and then take the OTA and re-root using the same methodology above?

Yes, as long as using correct boot.img
I tried with G7 Play - Channel
Did not work. These errors occurred in the prints.

You should be good. The bad key error is normal. What happened on reboot?

Don't worry about the error.
Install Magisk Manager and required components and that's it.
Keep the original boot in case to get OTA, but you should get updated full ROM and get updated boot and patch and flash again

Rebooted normally. When it starts, the screen turns completely black, and bad key is written in the upper left corner. It restarted in the same way.

Can you explain this better? Did not quite understand.
This method works flawlessly. Thanks for the tip.

Boot.img should match ROM version or you may have trouble booting.
New OTA has been released for US, but it's recommended to wait for updated full ROM in order to regain root.

Did not work.
My bootloader is unlocked.
The boot.img image is correct.
I did it step by step and it did not work.
I do not get root and magisk says that it is not installed.

Did you patch boot.img?
my moto g7 non variant river phone channel said "US Retail", but the required rom info was under River/Official/Retail, not River/Official/Retus. When I tried Retus, it bootlooped until I flashed Retail. FYI for anyone encountering same issue.
mingkee said:

Yeah. I copied the patch boot to my computer and flashed with adb.
My software channel is "reteu2" and the software version is PPW29.98-28.
Under river/official/RETEU/ I cannot find a suitable software version. Is my version not available there?
