    Post [RETUS | MOTO Z3 PLAY] New pie build OTA!

    Still no Pie update. I'm going to try to get a couple hundred bucks off of Craigslist so at least I can get a phone capable of getting security updates. Motorola is pitiful. Should I try Lenovo smart assistant again to try to get an update or will it brick my phone again? Now on the site it says...

    Post [RETUS | MOTO Z3 PLAY] New pie build OTA!

    Still no update or security patch I still don't have the pie update and my z3 says it's on the February security patch. It is as if updating was disabled when I sent it back to Motorola for a fix after Lenovo Motorola Smart Assistant bricked it. Any ideas? My daughter's phone which is the exact...

    Post Pie OTA received today for retail US edition

    Still no update. I keep checking. Did they turn off all future updates when I had to send it back to Texas when their update room booked it erasing the IMEI and disabling Wi-Fi? J

    Post Pie OTA received today for retail US edition

    Last night my daughter checked her z3 play and she got the update. Exact same phone as mine and same carrier. But not me. So pissed and jealous! IDK what their rollout strategy or method is but it blows. J

    Post Pie OTA received today for retail US edition

    I checked today but nothing there. However, I have my sim in my new g7 power I bought after LSMA Killed the z3 and I sent it back to Texas. I wonder if WiFi isn't enough and you need a sim to get the update? I'm just gonna use this as a backup phone although the OLED screen was nicer than the g7...

    Post Lost Imei and Wifi signal, Help with remote failure in adb (Soft Brick maybe?)

    Thank you so much for this! I just printed out the labels and Fedex stuff and I'll ship it out in the morning. I was a good phone I hope I get one back that is useful. Maybe one that even has Pie. One can wish. J

    Post Lost Imei and Wifi signal, Help with remote failure in adb (Soft Brick maybe?)

    To clarify the phone does turn on and everything but it doesn't have an IMEI and the wifi won't work. None of the recovery options work with motorola smart assistant. I did a factory reset and it is the same. Nothing. I ordered a g7 power a minute ago. I want to forget about this z3 phone but if...

    Post Lost Imei and Wifi signal, Help with remote failure in adb (Soft Brick maybe?)

    Yes same here. I was using the official lenovo app to upgrade and now my phone is junk. What do I do? Do you have the motorola phone number handy? I have a moto z3 play no unlocked nonsense or unlicensed ROMs. Just a phone. Now it won't connect to wifi, Lenovo smart assistant doesn't recognize...

    Post [RETUS | MOTO Z3 PLAY] New pie build OTA!

    Yes I got the February security update and so did my daughter. I grow weary of wating for the pie update. I will have second thoughts about buying another Lenovo in the future even though they are a great value. I might be happier with a Google Pixel or similar product that receives updates as...

    Post Z3Play Retail US Pie Update Received!

    Hey Thanks for this info. :) I didn't know such a thing existed but it is updating now. It is a 2.2g file so it will have to be downloaded to the PC first. I was a little nervous about giving all those developer rights to the app but I figure since it is Lenovo it should be OK. It doesn't look...

    Post Verizon Moto z3 pie update

    Did you buy your phone directly from a Verizon store or get it elsewhere? I bought mine unlocked from Amazon and I'm not getting any updates. J

    Post Holy Crap! Motorolas RMA system is TERRIBLE

    CVE I don't know if I'd go with Samsung if you want great repair service considering their largest repair center just lost 280 workers to an ICE raid. It's possible that CVE as featured in this article also does work for Motorola since they're literally located around the corner in Allen...

    Post Verizon Moto z3 pie update

    What if you used a VPN to make it seem like your phone was in Minneapolis or where ever they are testing 5 g? Maybe they have it set to only roll out the update at places where 5 g is expected and forgot about the rest of the owners. J

    Post Verizon Moto z3 pie update

    That's what they're saying, however, it might just be for the one Verizon sold in stores. I bought my Z3 play from Amazon (without Alexa) so who knows when I'll see it. J

    Post Holy Crap! Motorolas RMA system is TERRIBLE

    I don't disagree with anything you're saying. They have a lot of potential but they suck so hard right now with updates and just general basic stuff I can't recommend a Moto. My Z3 has been great but still no OS update and we're well into 2019. They are circling the drain. J

    Post Holy Crap! Motorolas RMA system is TERRIBLE

    Just buy a new Moto. They are cheap and, besides, I don't think anyone works at Motorola anymore based on their lack of software updates/support. J

    Thanks for this information. I was thinking it might be a short cut. XDA News! Still nothing in the US. I keep checking Google news, too. Just ordered a G7 Power for my son arriving Friday.

    Post Android 9.0 Pie rolling out in Brazil

    Tired of waiting for z3 Pie I'm getting sick of checking forums only to hear Pie update BS about Motorola/Lenovo doing anything they said they'd do. It's not that hard. I have a z3 Play no skins so just update the dang thing. Or not. Jerry
