Downgrade Security version - Moto Z2 Play Questions & Answers

Guys, currently I'm on October 1st, 2018 Security Patch. I have the system image of April 1st, 2018 for flashing through fastboot, both android 8.0.0.
If I flash it, will my phone get stuck in bootloop or will it work?
My last phone got hardbricked because I unintentionally flashed android 6 Marshmallow after updating to Nougat, so now I'm afraid of hardbricking my new smartphone just because of the security patch.
Please someone give me an advise. (If there would be a link for a system image of october 2018 I'd appreciate haha)

My device was on Oct security before I unlocked it, I am now on the stock April patch firmware with no issues. However, I wish to relock my bootloader now and this is not possible because there is no later firmware than April available. When trying to lock, it fails with security downgrade.

Thanks for your feedback, however there IS a later firmware, more precisely the October firmware.
Thanks to @Junior Passos for this: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410932744536987421

Should be fine, I am on OPSS27.76-12-25 which is April. The October patch was on my device before unlocked.
Although there is an extra S in this one. Mine is OPS27.
Could you show where the junior shared the link?.

Sorry, he didn't share on the forum yet, however it's in his afh. He took from the last link I shared here.
If you pay attention to the image below, which is my smartphone settings, the version has 2 "S", and it's the stock one. I've never unlocked this phone. So it's okay, the october patch has the second S.

I see, so the other S could be something with the new security patch. Unless we have different Z2p. Mine is UK one, but I am sure I read somewhere that there is only one line of firmware for this device, unlike my G5 plus before this that had several versions of the G5 plus.
Yours is Brazil retail mine is Vodafone UK which is a different software Chanel. But the device is same I am sure.

Because 99.9% of the time when something bad happens to devices are user error. I did flash so many times so many things to my phones and never had any problem. Also I know this files are good because so many users flash them. So if you flash this and your phone do not start in example, this mean you did something wrong and I'm not responsible for what you did.

Camera does not focus in nothing

Hi, I've been through a problem with my MZP after I flashed retbr stock rom. I'm in the latest security patch level, android 7.1.1, everything is okay, but the camera does not focus in nothing. I'm not able to take photos of the computer because it gets veeeeery blurry, and even if the photo is not about the computer, it doesn't focus, like, I tried to take a photo of a box in front of me, I was like 15cm away and i can't read anything written in the box.
Can someone help me? Where are the official stock roms? Because it seems to be a fake stock rom...
I agree something is wrong with the camera after this latest update my camera also didnt focus iam on reteu version . I have gone to lineage 14.1 and the camera is ok again.
Same here also

If you have unlocked BL it`s not a problem for you to flash nov patch.
The better way - flash this with TWRP.
Original thread of this ROM here but only with link to dec patch
P.S. Don`t use OTA with this ROM

I don't want to unlock BL for now (and first time since I have Android). Thx for the info about broken security update, reason to skip this one. Let's see how 8.0 will work. Moto mentioned camera, whatever that means.

You are not wrong about being afraid of unlocking BL, but my advice is to do so, since it sets you free to customize your stock rom, install custom recoveries/roms, debloat(but moto isn't that bloated) and many other very nice things. It's not a difficult thing to do, and is very useful.
If you're afraid, ok, but think about doing it in some months maybe!?
Good lucky dude!

I'm not afraid, lol. I did that many times (even using exploit on Verizon Moto). Just not finding good reason to do so. Against unlocking bl is that my bank app will stop to work, then I have to use magisk... Quite a headache when stock works just fine. I'm even thinking to not accept any further update, including 8.0.

I have to fix gapps on damn Fire tablet and postponing that as well.

I have found that this varries by camera app - some are better at it than others. True for any 8.x at this point.
Just to let you know, camera focuses fine on 8.0. Even faster than before!

On Intel page I've found command line:
Code:
addison:/ $ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep arc
CPU architecture: 7

CPU architecture: 7

[ro.product.cpu.abilist32]: [armeabi-v7a,armeabi]
[ro.product.cpu.abilist64]: []
...
Missing value in the last line probably means no 64bit support.
Just googling how to check that and so far only way is to install Antutu and I don't want to do that during the testing period.
If you find another way, let me know.

Yep, armeabi-v7a means that it's not 64 bit. No surprise though, updating android from 32 to 64 could bring a lot of problems with app compatibility.

Updated: Get your milk ready for official Oreo release (later)

4/23/2018 Update:
Seems Big Red made a big snafu in their announcement on their update page about the latest OTA being an Oreo update. Whoops!
http://www.androidguys.com/2018/04/2...alaxy-s7-oreo/
Also, they have fixed their software update page and removed all references to Oreo from the latest OTA:
https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-s7-update/
It looks like we'll be seeing it before the end of May possibly:
https://androidcommunity.com/samsun...0-oreo-update-coming-in-a-few-weeks-20180424/
=========================================
Per Android Community, the finishing touches are being done on Oreo for the S7 family which includes those of us on Verizon's version of the phone as well as unlocked phones.
No firm date has been set yet, but it could be any day now.
https://androidcommunity.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-to-receive-android-8-0-oreo-update-20180418/
Per SamMobile, the US variants have been certified with Oreo.
https://www.sammobile.com/news/galaxy-s7-oreo-update-inches-closer
For many, this may not be a big deal, especially if you root and flash. But for those of us that have no need to root and flash custom ROMs, this is big news. But sadly, it probably also marks the last official upgrade for the S7s. We'll probably get one more year of security updates and then we're on our own at that point.
FYI: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-galaxy-s7-update,
the update hasn't been release just yet

Yes, there has been some misunderstanding at Verizon. The changelog for the BRC3 says Oreo and lists all the features but it's actually still Nougat OS. Can you share the screenshot from your device of the software info screen showing the Android OS and build no. both?

I definitely had an update applied in last two days at least that is BRC3 so looks like wrong changelog. Verizon support is clueless but is forwarding it to their IT team supposedly..
Edit: Also they mention April 1st security patch in Oreo/BRC3 changelog, I do have that as well but I think those can be pushed without OS update. None of the Oreo features are anywhere to be found though and still 7.0 according to about this phone.
or maybe its a multi-stage update.
an update to prepare for the update.

It doesn't appear that Firmware.Science is updating their site any longer. I'm removing the link since it's useless to us now. I'll continue to try and get the Odin files as they drop and add them to post #2 for everyone
Understanding the Firmware labels
Here's a better understanding of how these are broken down
G=Galaxy S series
975U or F etc, the model of device
SQ, FX etc = CPU and model specific
U,S,E = Update, Security, Engineering, respectively
1,2,3,4,5 etc = bootloader rev(this is important!)
A = Pie rev 1(This starts off with "A" as the build that is the initially shipped on the device. S10 series is Pie)
(If you ever see a build that contains a "Z" such as this: U5ZSBA, that means the build is part of Samsung's Official Beta program. The "Z" in this context replaces the Android Version letter which hides what OS it actually is.)
R,S,T = Year (R is 2018, S is 2019, T will be 2020)
A,B,C etc = month (January A - December L).
1 - 9 and then A - Z =build compilation. This basically means how many builds there are in a month. They start at 1 and go to Z.
So G975USQU1ASBA would be
G975-U-SQ-U-1-A-S-B-A
G975U (Galaxy S10+ Carrier version), SQ (Snapdragon), U (Update), 1 (Bootloader version), A (Build Pie), S (2019), B (February), A (Build)
**You CANNOT downgrade to a lower Bootloader. So if you are on a Bootloader 2 rom, you can not go to a Bootloader 1 rom.

I think it can also help to go into recovery and do a couple factory resets before flashing a Firmware.
Might need this one too, you never know
How come when I check for an update it's says I'm up to date but I have build ASAT?

They can roll them out in waves. You can try to clear cache and data in the Software Update app

It should typically not take TOO long. I would recommend a reset if you're having issues

Not if you've flashed G975U1UEU1ASBA, that is a Unlocked Firmware. G975USQU1ASBA is the Carrier version and you would get OTA (AT&T/Spr/T-Mo/AZW)

I had read that, aside from the basic security patch, they made some improvements to the fingerprint scanner (and I'll have to go look for what else, I dont remember right now)

With my unlocked phone will there be any issues if I download and flash the G975USQU1ASBA version?
Thanks
They made some tweaks to the camera to improve quality too.
ARGGG! Thought I might have included the front camera ring notifications simpler than the APK on the Play store.

If you've got an AT&T SIM, then there should be no issues at all. You will get the AT&T bloat, but you can disable it and you will also get the "features" like Wi-Fi calling...

Thanks I can deal with the bloat, quick question later if I decide to go back to another firmware will that be an issue?

It shouldn't be an issue (aside from having to set up again)

My build is still showing asat and up to date. Cleared data and cache. Oh well guess I'll have to wait.
