Hey, I just installed June security patch on my Moto G6 and I gotta say this build is super smooth.
I’m getting more than 5-6hrs of SOT and yes DIGITAL WELLBEING IS A SYSTEM APP NOW.
I downloaded the latest firmware from here : https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ali/official/RETAIL/
And flashed it via RSD Lite.
Don’t forget to hit thanks

No, unfortunately not. This is a full wipe/fresh install only. The same rooting method works, but it will have to be a fresh install.

Hello, I upgraded my phone through CMD commands in fastboot folder, but now I can't hear nor be heard in calls. I tried already intalling the NON-HLOS.bin from Stock ROM RETAIL OPSS27.104-92-4 and tried with the NON-HLOS.bin from the Sotck ROM from my region OPENMX OPSS27.82-87-8 too, but it didn't work.
Tried turning the phone on Secure Mode to see if it was a problem related with an app but it wasn't the case, also tried couple of times doing factory reset, but it gave the same result.
I was on the RETAIL PPSS29.55-34-1 with NON-HLOS.bin from OPENMX OPSS27.82-87-8 and the calls were fine. Could someone help me, please?
I did all of above with locked bootloader.
Edit:
Now I unlocked bootloader to downgrading to RETAIL PPSS29.55-34-1 with NON-HLOS.bin from OPENMX OPSS27.82-87-8, and it didn't work so I relock bootloader.

As you unlocked the bootloader your warranty is gone, plus I didn’t try with CMD commands, I used RSD Lite, so maybe try a fresh install again if problem persists.

Nevermind I just needed to connect the device in another port, also now the calls work thank you @aaryan1596
How do I install this without RSDLite? The program doesn't work for me at all (v5.7 on Win10), and I do not fully understand how to use fastboot/batch files to install the unpacked .zip file. Thank you for your help.
Edit: I was able to easily install this using Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Simply extract the contents of your .xml.zip file to your Minimal ADB and Fastboot installation folder. Boot your phone into fastboot mode (volume+power down) and copy and paste these commands (you can copy and paste the entire block and they will run sequentially):

Just downloading via system updates, channel: retgb.
Well, I received the June 1, PPS29.55-37-4 OTA (retgb channel) at around 9:40pm (Mon 5th Aug, UK time). It took 12 minutes to download the 818.6Mb package over a 4G connection, and a further 26 minutes to install it.
Everything went without a hitch, and all seemed perfectly fine afterwards...
...however, having previously read about the problems reported here on XDA and on the Lenovo/Motorola community support forum regarding recent Pie updates, I decided to perform a factory wipe/reset immediately after the update. A tiresome chore to be sure, having to set everything up again aftwards, but it just seemed the prudent thing to do.
So now, some 19 hours later, my G6 is still working perfectly, with no obvious problems, and it does certainly feel smoother and more responsive than it's predecessor, PPS29.55-24, which I received at the end of March. And, yep, this new 'build' includes Google's Digital Wellbeing app integrated at the system level, so I guess that's something new to tinker around with.
Anyhow, just some thoughts regarding my experience of updating to this latest version of Pie.
Rgrds,
Ged.

Hello, I registered, hoping that somone maybe could help here.
Yesterday I wanted to get the latest 5.1 update for my moto g, running 5.0.2. Because I rooted the device amd modified some things like uninstalling system apps and replacing system apps with their updates; I wanted to flash a clean system first. I tried to find a german 5.0.2 rom and couldn't find one, so I decided the 4.4.4 version I got should do the same. So I tried to install it via fastboot. For doing this I used these fastboot commands:
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
I got these three errors: version downgraded primary_gp, version downgraded for tz, version downgraded for boot.
On reboot the phone get's stuck on bootloader unlocked screen and won't boot. I can reset by long pressing power, I can also enter fastboot menu.
After searching for two hours I could find this firmware XT1032_FALCON-RETDE_5.0.2_LXB22.46-28.1_1_cid7_CFC_1FF.xml (can't post link) and tried to install, I used the same commands as above and finished without any error. But there's still the bootloop. I tried to install several times and tried also to wipe data and cache. Can anyone help or is the phone bricked forever?
Dont flash motoboot, i had this same problem when flashing motoboot
I tried it again without flashing motoboot, with the same result. I think the problem is, that I flashed it once, so I think I could only fix it by undoing the motoboot flash.
Edit: Seems like the problem is only with stock rom. I tried to install CM12 and it is running fine, except it refuses a wifi connection. If CM would run that would also be ok, but without wifi,...so I just need stock.
Meanwhile I'm using a custom rom as a workaraound.
Try on this order @piet85
logo
boot
recovery
system.img1
system.img2
system.img3
nhlos
erase midem set 1

and cache
Mind that the commands are not written on the right way just because im lazy :-
Thank you a lot, don't get me wrong, but for the moment I'm very glad having a running system on my phone and it runs very good for a custom rom. So there is no real need to flash again. Maybe I will do so, when there are major bugs or when I have more time, but for the moment the custom rom does it's job.
DISCLAIMER - if you have never rooted or flashed a phone in the past, please stop reading now. Don't even try this, you will probably brick your phone. This process complete replaces all OS components on your phone which can be hard to reverse if you don't know what you are doing. Proceed at your own risk! Backup and have a few roms handy to flash in case you mess up if the guide does not work for you. Make sure you have plenty of battery life before beginning.
This is a guide to restore to stock a Retail Asia (Australian Vodafone) Moto X Style XT1572 single sim phone.
I rooted and then flashed the EU single sim version rom of 6.0 a while ago, but now I wanted to go back to stock. Here is guide how. You will need your bootloader unlocked and developer mode on for USB debugging.
I believe the original Stock OS for the Retail Asia single sim Moto X style was 'X_Style_XT1572_CLARK_RETASIA_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18.1'. That is version 23.116-18.1. Retail Asia, NOT dual sim. The only reason to do this is you have an Australia/ Retail Asia handset and you flashed another rom on to it and want to go back to the Retail Asia single sim OTA update (Australian vodafone). If you have not messed with your phone you should not need to do this. But you could download the OS image as a future backup in case you ever want to back original stock rom the phone shipped with.
Google drive link - 'X_Style_XT1572_CLARK_RETASIA_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18.1 (1.4gb)
Once you have downloaded the zip, decompress it to a folder. Then using Command prompt or Terminal navigate to the folder. Make sure you have fastboot or mfastboot running properly (not sure why you need to use mfastboot but some do), boot in to the bootloader and beginning flashing the individual components of the zip file.
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
Once you reboot the phone you should be running the completely stock rom the phone come with. It will remove root and any custom recovery you might have installed. It will not relock the bootloader.
To get the OTA you need to be on the stock rom and NOT rooted. Once you reboot within seconds you should get an update notification to download the new 24.11.20 Android M 6.0 update. It is about 640mb.
I hope this helps.
Thanks
Was wondering when they would release the official update for retasia
Have reverted back to stock to download the OTA and also captured the OTA for single sim retasia. The version number on this is slightly newer than the Europe and US versions I have been using
edit: Link to retasia MM
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4G7mEPBaNoHckxCWWxnY0dzaVU/view?usp=sharing
Awesome! Thank you @Sensation_NZ. I tried to capture the OTA but for some reason my adb would flash but not rewrite anything from the device back. I have grabbed a copy for future use.
wondering if all Australian X Style handsets are Asian? or EU?
Thanks for the post... Just wondering if you could help me, where could I find the modem for the Australian version? Thank you

Thanks for replying.
My friend has a broken xs_EU with blocked BL by flashing stock_7.0BR,I thought that it would be rescued by flashing you files with gpt of the ota_patches if we got the file bl.
so, we must wait for the stock_7.0EU.
Will this work if I flash these files on my recently debricked (from downgrade) XS on MM 6.01?
Bootloader is still unlocked from the initial install of a custom ROM. But then I bricked it after downgrading from N to stock MM and installing OTA updates.
So just flash these files in fastboot and it should be on Nougat again unbricked?
I don't know.
There isn't bootloader & gpt into these files.
If your BL & gpt are Nougat you can flash it and later install ota updates @Murugan78
BL and GPT should still be N after the downgrade no? It went from MM to N with OTA when I bought it. Last month I installed Lineage ROM but decided to go stock again (and got bricked due to the N bootloader and gpt?). I get the prevalidation error when flashing BL and GPT from the official MM ROM so these must still be N if I am correct. This is my first moto device and I have done some custom things in the past with my S1, S2 and my OPO but never had these issues.
The sparsechunks are not necessary for trying to upgrade?
BL, gpt should be N. @Murugan78
And I can flash the system.img as 1 file instead of all the chunks?
Yes
fastboot flash system system.img
Flashed the files and so far so good! Got an OTA update without problems. Tomorrow I'm gonna test if my SIM works and maybe remove the unlocked bootloader message.
Thanks a LOT!

This is not the OTA, it can't be sideloaded. You have to flash this through fastboot (and you need a unlocked bootloader to do so)

Story: I bought US version Z3 Play open market model from B&H. I could unlock the bootloader according to Motorola Developer site, but I encountered problem to root and I have struggled half day to make root done from booting TWRP to patching boot.img.
Eventually, I bit the bullet and make a step up to update to Pie bu downloading RETAIL ROM instead of RETUS. This time I patched the updated boot.img and I got success.
Prerequisite:
Full RETAIL Pie ROM
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/beckham/official/RETAIL/
Bootloader unlocked
It's recommended to flash in Linux (I used Ubuntu) as I didn't have luck with Windows
Main battery should be full and supplied battery module should be at least 50% (you can charge battery module with 9V PD charger)
Some typing (all fastboot commands typed as ./fastboot)
Be aware some components will be flashed in b partition. Failure to do it will cause bootloop
./fastboot erase userdata is optional, but it is recommended to avoid unexpected trouble
Steps:
1. Download the Pie ROM and extract to somewhere you know (you can drag and drop the file into terminal window).
2. Copy the boot.img to the phone and let Magisk Manager to patch it, and copy the patched_boot.img to where you can locate.
3. Backup your personal data just in case
4. Prepare USB C cable
5. Enter bootloader. Turn the phone off, press and hold both volume down and power button together, and connect you phone to host computer. (You phone should show USB conmected)
6. Enter the following commands
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
