Moto Z Play - XT1635-02 - Dual SIM - Software Channel RETLA :( - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

I'll start of by saying it's a great phone with a few bugs (like the quiet notifications bug). I'm not uncomfortable with flashing ROMs as I've done that on a lot of Samsung, and Moto phones in the past but I've gotta say I'm stumped on this one:
- I've got a gray market phone apparently that will not update as I'm using it in Canada and the phone is apparently from the Cayman islands
- the security patch on this phone is from August.
- I do not want to root this phone due to a piece of software I use for work which breaks if it detects a rooted device.
As I have a dual sim variant, can anyone suggest how I can safely flash a ROM that's not rooted and will either give me Nougat or a Mm ROM with a later security patch level?
Thank you.

GX8 vs G8, what does it mean for software updates.

Hi
I've searched high and low for a marsmallow update for my device which is a G8 RIO-L01 device. After some time i found that Huawei made (at least) 4 different devices which are the 'G8 dual sim' and the 'G8 SD + sim' and then later the 'GX8 dual sim' and the 'GX8 SD + sim'.
I seem to have the 'G8 SD + sim' version (3GB RAM /32GB 'DISK').
Which, as of now, is equipped with the bone-stock EMUI 3.1 with build number RIO-L01C02B150 . (Custom version: CUSTC02D010, Kernel version 3.10.49-g0854d7b [email protected] #1 Mon Feb29 10:39:01 IST 2016)
Can anyone shed some light on the possibilities I have to start modding this device? - Can I go Marshmallow? - Which ROM to use?
I am somewhat technically savy, but this device has me stumped because of all the different versions and the lack of clarity (to me) therein. I never had any problems with my ZOPO 820+, my HTC Legend, LG-H440n, my Samsung Galaxy 1, ... I always found the conclusive info to root and mod them...
Thank you very much!
Sincerely

G8, GX8 and G7 Plus are basically names for the same phone based on hardware. There are 2 version: 2GB and 3GB, and 2 versions of each, single SIM or double SIM.
Regarding the software updates, is about the region you are. There are some RIO-L01, RIO-L02 and RIO-L03 variants according to the continent you are.
As long as your phone is the same model (RIO-L0x) for the update, you won't have any problem to install the update. Besides, if you try to install an update for a different phone version, you will just get an error message and that's all, nothing to worry about.

Thanks! I'm relieved and excited! Now the Hunt for a reliable ROM begins!
While they are similar phones there are small differences between that can make roms and updates problematic. An example is the RIO-L03 in the US, less ram and storage. It also isn't able to use any of the rom offerings that offer updates to emui. Even within the RIO-L01 family of devices there seems to be various glitches making it problematic to update out side the ota process. Good luck in your hunt but don't take the patented there all essentially the same line, if they really were there wouldn't be so many issues getting a stable non flickering rom made.

I'll proceed with caution then... The CM13 build seems to tick many boxes. But the lack of fingerprint-scanner support is holding me back...
I found unlocking the device to be pretty straight forward, along with rooting it. The CM rom doesn't interest me in the least mainly due to the nature of what it is ... a non native emui rom. I have numerous stock and rommed galaxy devices and htc's to enjoy the various flavors of android. it makes no sense to me to even get a device like this if your going to rom out the one mainly unique thing it has going for it.
With that said the screen flickering issue present for some [including me] when trying to flash the emui 4.0.1 update is frustrating, but so much so as to force me to remove the unique ui of the device. At least here in the US it is easy enough to nab a note 3 refurb for @200 bucks and run what ever version of android I would want, faster and with more bells and whistles
I got the device for Emui.
Well, I got this device because it was cheapish and offers great functionality for that price. And also because I read everywhere that the G8 is sheduled for the marshmallow update.
I've seen that many flavours of this device received an update to marshmallow, but mine hasn't. And I'm not entirely sure if I should be holding my breath now...
EMUI is indeed a great shell for android, but it wasn't my main pursuader.

You've done amazing work thank you, I can confirm that everything runs as it supposed to! Do you know if any future downgrade to marshmallow would only require flashing ROM or flashing modem (EU) etc would also be required?
Installation works as expected
Just want to let you know every thing works as expected XT1580 |EU.
Wil test a few days en come back. Big Thanks1

If you yourself did not flush the full flush
Then downgrade the stock firmware can be, if you are stitching into the phone of someone else's GPT and bootloader, you can not do this

Only one question. Now I use Unofficial Lineage Os and second SIM remain in 2G. In your Rom both SIM works in 4G?

Ok, thanks. Radio appears to be the same as in latest Marshmallow ROM.
I flashed yesterday and I have some problem with play store, that crashed or not installing app (waiting and nothing moves...)
After some wipe and four or five flash play store works good and all of rom doesn't have a problem. Good Job!
XT1581 CN with Italian dual SIM ✌?
I think that version 7.0 has a bug, when downloading a large file and the screen goes off the download is stopped, even with the configuration of wifi always active.
Install this firmware also brings the same problem. The failure of the version that I release Motorola.
Thank you for your work.

Have you checked your cellular network signal quality under battery graph? Because I noticed a bug that after screen goes off, cellular signal goes really bad (orange/red). After turning screen on it changes back to green immediately. Dunno if it's related to your problem but for me it causes bad battery drain.
it doesn't support China Telecom on XT1581.
Would this work on X force India xt1580 model how about the radio mine is a single SIM would it unlock dual SIM thanks
1580 works perfectly in EU.
Awesome! Thanks man!!
XT1580 (official, russian) is now double sim. Though it does not show IMEI of second slot, but automagically both sims work perfectly.
Answering the question about second sim being limited to 2G only - it is for voice communication only. Once the data transfer is switched to sim2, it reverts the things in an opposite way - sim2 becomes LTE-capable and sim1 drops down to 2G only.
The only issue now is that bootloader cannot be locked due to unofficialness of the firmware. It seems checking the signature or something...
This is only a problem for Android Pay. Not a big deal for me though, as native bank client work better, anyway.
And yet another piece of excellent news - ACR is now working fine even with bluetooth headset and does perfect calls recordings!
Man you're great! Now my XT1580 is most loved headset in the world, again!
Thank you veeeeeery much for your effort!

Moto Z2 Force Xt1789-06 UK Vodafone Oreo update?

Got a good deal on a moto z2 force (with 3 moto mod accessories, so had to snap it up) - From Vodafone UK
Question about Oreo updates on this phone. Does not exist yet as I believe it is down to the carrier and networks to finalise, test and release, hence the delays.
I am aware that there are quite a few oreo firmware for retail models. (Although none exist yet for XT1789-06?) I have already unlocked the bootloader and I wanted to update to the recent ones. What I am worried about is the IMEI baseband. Anyone had success with this specific model (06)?
There's root, su ,magisk and xposed on this thread thanks to enetec.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2...w-to-safely-blunlock-twrp-root-t3704596/page1
Have not seen any oreo related updates, I did read on another thread that the t-mobile Oreo update was pulled because it was having issues with calls I think so maybe our version they are having the same issues. Have not even found a flash all file for our device so one a bit hesitant about even trying any other Rom.
Official bootable and flashable twrp works on nougat. Sprint wasn't on Oreo until late Feb z so I have used the first iteration on my phone before the Oreo OTA. It will have decryption support which is advised compared to encryption not working. That's a huge security risk. I'd suggest using official twrp and magisk if you want root. That way you keep encryption.

Hi there updated mine to Oreo with the file in this link https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/nash/official/RETAIL just follow the instructions in the link In post 2 on this thread, I'm pretty sure you can skip the unlocking bootloader (unless you want root as I do)
No, the above is no good for my carrier/phone (Vodaphone UK) Results in wifi and modem not working. Also 3 sparse files are missing. Used a US based USC Oreo rom and works perfectly now however

I had the the wifi problem when i flashed twrp (but still had network), then flashed the rom in my last post I am also on the uk vodafone model. could you post a link to the rom you flashed please.
It was this one https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754473797
It did give error in regards to the bootloader writing (and timed out - so did not overwrite bootloader) - I already have bootloader unlocked and was on Nougat when I recieved the phone. After updating to oreo, however with the exception of the carrier logo during boot, I have found no issues whatsoever with this rom on a Vodafone XT1789-06 UK model device. I also uninstalled or disabled US based applications / carrier bloat.
Everything works fine (Moto mods, Wifi, network, camera, 3d acceleration) etc
(Note, ignore the fact that the download is from the MotoZ2 play folder, there was no new directory for Z2 Force according to the uploader)
Cheers for the link already had this file downloaded but didn't flash it as I noticed it was a us Version. there was a update at 19:30 on the link I posted but have not flashed it yet, no bloatware on this rom just plain stock and all mods work will flash the update sometime over the weekend and let you know how it goes.
I tried the newer version recently and same issue (no wifi or modem), so reverted back to USC version
Hello guys i also have the z2 force on UK Vodafone and looking for a 8.0 update. Did you guys find one that completely works? i dont want to unlock the bootloader or root (stops my bank app).
Any news on this please?

Unlocking bootloader doesn't stop Banking apps but root will, I have an unlocked bootloader and on the xt1789-06 Vodafone UK running stock ROM from the link I posted above got both nationwide and Barclays apps and both run fine if you flash the first n version it will do all the seamless updates, it just seems Vodafone are a bit slow at pushing them.

How should he if there is none? It's a ~350mb update, that's usually just a security update with maybe some bugfixes.

Customized CH did, indeed.
Silly question : Would an update, like this one, need to update with previous versions first before upgrading to this one ? I'm asking this because here in the UK, I'm still with the Customized UK 47.1.A.16.20. And I've never had any Pie update available displayed on my phone.
Several versions have been dispatched to other zones in the world, including several for different UK providers but then hang in the middle of the roll out. Plus in the Support > Software section of my G8441, it says in the "Next Android version" sub section : "No new Android version planned yet".
It looks weird, isn't? Not to mention after Sony started to roll out their very first Pie firmware for the G8441, my Xperia Companion said a new Software version was available, with no description, no firmware version number, and when trying to download it, Xperia companion crashed and needed to restart. Few hours later, when opening it again, the 'New Software' notification disappeared. Since then my phone displays "No new Android version planned yet".
Is this related ?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the half off-topic...
I too have the customized UK phone, and nothing here either
Does someone know which .sin files to exclude if I want to install the new firmware (I already have Pie) with newflasher but want to keep my existing settings, apps and data?
I know that persist*.sin should be excluded to avoid losing android assets keys and userdata*.sin also I guess by the name. Anything else?
I have an unlocked bootloader with DRM keys backed up and restored with Customized CH 47.2.A.2.33 installed. I also have flashed the secd patch so the phone offers OTA update, but I know it won't work with the bootloader unlocked.
Came OTA in Switzerland. Update worked like a charm and I don't see any changes except for December security patch.

Updates don't work like that. If you have the CH ROM, you'll get the OTA for that. If you have UK rom, you'll get the UK rom update regadless of the place you are in.
You can manually flash a different rom customization (uk, ch, nordic etc) and then het updates for that one. I don't know if there are some disadvantages doing that though, as some customizations might have specifoc stuff for some countries / carriers.

I do have CH. I flashed CH manually a long time ago, as I was not getting any updates (missed several months) on my DE. I have gotten many regular OTAs since and did a few resets. But I did not get any of the Pie versions. I thought maybe it is actual location...
I'm in the UK boat, I've been a Sony user since the Xperia arc and I've certainly had some long waits for software updates but I can't remember seeing so many versions released without the UK sim free getting any of them. Can't see my next phone being Sony now.

From what I am deducting all around the web (Sony forums, XDA, 4pda) just keep Oreo and don't bother seeing the number 9 instead of the 8 in the about section of your phone.
I had the OTA update notification for a few weeks, neved installed and eventually it disappeared because Sony has shut down the updates as of Pie bugs reported in their forums.
I am still on latest Oreo and I am going to keep it until I see a totally polished Pie, and it will take months!
Apart from slowmo 960fps in FullHD I truly do not see any reason to update, because the cons are more than pros.
Sure, security patches will be up to date, but does anyone feel the difference having a few month outdated patches? The security is in the hands of the user.
Sent from my XZ1 Compact using XDA Labs
about updating without loosing any data (as same as it was)
I just remove all. . Ta files and IF you want to keep like it was dont Flash userdata or appslog..

They are in the early days for Android 9 Pie. And Sony is one of the first companies to release pie updates. It's buggy, which is the usual after updating to a new major android version. The previous version 47.2.A.2.33 was not even completely rolled out before this current version started rolling out. I'm sure the usual rollout schedule will continue as the software matures.

Android 11 released for G Stylus -- anyone got it?

I saw yesterday on various tech boards that the G Stylus (Pro) has started receiving the official Android 11/R updates, with the first ones appearing on January 30th or so. Saw many screenshots of the update screens and read a few user reports/reviews.
It appeared that many of the reports are coming out of the UK and Europe. Has anyone here received the update or notification yet? I'm running RR 8.6.4, so I won't get the notification. However, if its being pushed out already --- I might revert to the 10 stock rom and give it a go.
Also, I'm guessing the factory unlocked and unbranded phones are more likely to get the push than the retail branded variants, correct? If you have received the 11 build, what variant/carrier do you have?
I'm running the factory unlocked variant, with verizon as my carrier (doesn't matter lol. just throwing it out there).
I recently got an update. Finally installing it. QPR30.80-58-8-3-2-4. It's not android 11, just an update. Why update if there is a whole new version of software. Seems like a waste of time. Which makes me think 11 isn't coming anytime soon.
I made a .bat to flash the g pro 11 update on my metro stylus. Running pretty smooth. Stylus options are updated as well. I dont know about the service since I dont have metro anymore and its locked to them. If anyone has an unlocked bootloader and wants it let me know.
No Android 11 update here yet, US Unlocked. Hoping they unlock the wide angle lens for photos, among other things.
I downloaded the UK Android 11 update. I used a batch file to flash the update via fastboot without wiping data. I have an unlocked bootloader and I am on Verizon. Everything seems to be working, text, phone calls, LTE.
Thanks for the heads up. Hope to get the OTA sooner rather than later.
Hello.
I have G Pro (XT2043-7) which is the retail European (reteu) version.
There was never December update here (Serbia), but today I got notified that Android 11 and January security patch are up.
Android 11 should really be called 10.1... Anyway...
Negative
1) I noticed new Peek Display – now it's the same as on G9 models which personally I don't like (a bit of ugly).
I want Moto signature circle back :/.
2) In Developer options, they removed Theming (it was the last setting). Just why? Motorola's Android 10 phones got
Theming in Moto app, and yet it was never an option for G Pro unless you enable Dev. mode and it worked.
Now is removed or I can't find it anywhere.
EDIT
In Display, they added Styles so there you go. Why is not that a part of Moto app? Who knows...
Positive
1) Phone is smoother and launcher lag with folders is mostly fixed.
2) Gesture navigation finally works with any launcher. I personally use Shade Launcher.

I made a .bat to flash the g pro 11 update on my metro stylus. Running pretty smooth. Stylus options are updated as well. I dont know about the service since I dont have metro anymore and its locked to them. If anyone has an unlocked bootloader and wants it let me know.

Could I get the bat file?

i have an unlocked bootloader stylus with metro and would give it a shot, still has service also... (edit) never mind made my own with the RETGB firmware from lolinet. had no issues as of yet.
I'm in the US and I just got the android 11 update last night.
I don't like it On the recents screen, they replaced the bottom row of homescreen with a screenshot button. I barely ever take screenshots, but I used that row of apps constantly.
I was excited for conversation bubbles, but the two apps I heavily use for texting/messaging; discord and Google voice, don't support bubbles (yet...hopefully).
Im thinking about installing a custom rom. The only reason I didn't yet was to get this update OTA.
Just installed it in an unlocked version and now get a VZW popup when trying to turn on hotspot
I just tested my Hotspot. It's still working with no pop-up. Of course, I'm using US Mobile, not Verizon.
I've been running 11 on a retail US model for a day or so & the stock launcher is super laggy.
I got 11 just yesterday.
Just received Android 11 OTA RPR31.Q1-56-9. Was also able to download stock ROM from LMSA:
SOFIAP_RETAIL_RPR31.Q1_56_9_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC_R4_CFC.xml
Now I'll have the corresponding boot.img and good to go with unrooting and installation of OTA
Anyone find a version of TWRP that works with it (XT2043-4)?
I have received the update. After I have tried installing ROMs with no success. I may have to update the device tree and give it a go at making updated roms
