Amazon Prime version here. I'm on the January security patch but I haven't got the 9.0 update yet.

Tired of waiting for z3 Pie

Still nothing for retus. Could you use a VPN to make it seem like you're in Brazil or wherever and then get the OTA update to pie?

That wouldn't work. They don't send them out based on where in the world you're connected to the internet. There's different models for the phone, there's a US, Brazil, EU, etc models of the phone and they only sell those models in the respective world regions that they're for unless you order online and have it imported, of course you should already know that. They have different "pipes" that they send the updates through, probably one for each phone model. As in, RETUS would be separate from RETBR. Regardless of where you live, or if you are connected to a VPN based in Brazil, you wont get the update since the RETUS model only would communicate to Motorola through the "pipe" for RETUS, not RETBR. Should make sense!

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. Looking forward to seeing how that does since my main reason for buying the X3 was the included battery mod.:)
