Question Motorola Edge S Pro (Manual Update)

[athossilveira]

Hello people! I bought an Edge 20 Pro from Aliexpress (as reported by some here) and I have the following question. The Android that came I believe is a Chinese version and has been without updates since July 2021. According to what I got from MotoFlashPro, the version installed is this:

-> ro.build.fingerprint[0]: motorola/pstar_retail/pstar:11/RRA
-> ro.build.fingerprint[1]: 31.Q3-19-19/d30cf:user/release-key
-> ro.build.fingerprint[2]: s
-> ro.build.version.qcom: LA.UM.9.12.r1-11500-SMxx50.0
-> version-baseband[0]: M55_HI25_118.711.01.20R PSTAR_PVT_CHIN
-> version-baseband[1]: ADSDS_CUST

If I upgrade to the latest version but with a ROM from Brazil (this link https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/pstar/official/RETBR/), is it supported or can I not change the current version?

If you buy a "China sealed box" version of the Edge S Pro from Aliexpress and install Google services / gapps, will the phone receive OTA updates?

No, you don't receive updates via ota, more in my opinion and better, the chinese rom only arrives updates for years and years

It is better to delete everything if you are going to do it for the first time and remembering that you have to unlock the bootload

 

[jlgmax]

So if you buy the Edge S Pro with unlocked bootloader and install Edge 20 Pro firmware onto it, will the device act the same as a native Edge 20 Pro (Google Play, Google Pay, NFC etc)? Only difference being that future updates need to be manually flashed?

Então, se você comprar o Edge S Pro com bootloader desbloqueado e instalar o firmware do Edge 20 Pro nele, o dispositivo funcionará da mesma forma que um Edge 20 Pro nativo (Google Play, Google Pay, NFC etc)? A única diferença é que as atualizações futuras precisam ser atualizadas manualmente?

yes yes
