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

[xSpartacusx]

I got prompted for another software update today, May 9, 2019

It's build number PPW29.183-29-1

Stability improvements and security patch April 1st 2019

Can anyone with RETUS Moto z3 play also confirm they received this?

 

[xSpartacusx]

Not much has changed. Feels more fluid and stable. And I did notice one thing!! It's got this cute guy.

Nah, I still don't have the PIE update. I'm RETUS. Motorola Z3 play from Amazon without Alexa.

I just got a feb security update, hopefully they push pie soon.

 

[xSpartacusx]

I expect pie to be here soon for you guys since it's being pushed out to the MFN

 

[bmasephol]

Got the Feb security update yesterday, hopefully pie is close behind.

I'm on US Cellular.

I recieved the Feb Security update yesterday, not realky close to what there website says but im not realky caring much at this point. Id be interested in anything other than Android , its become another tool for the carriers , hokding people at bay for there uodates, making updates more prevalent for the phones the carriers claim are flagship ( more sales)

Does anyone know if ATT has released the update from Moto for Pie?

 

[Jcanner]

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 soon as they are ready.

Thanks for that, i'm checking on that with everyone here for a family member. They also got the security update, and like you are still waiting for the 9.0 update. Could be an ATT thing and not moto/lenovo? Not sure

It's not an AT&T thing. I got my Z3 Play retail unlocked and carrier-free, and I'm still waiting (frustrated) for Pie.

Unlock bootloader and install the Pie rom works great. I have an unlocked bootloader and my wife have the original z3 play. We are both on febr. securityupdate android Pie.

I wasn't in a rush, but this is what happened when I updated to Feb patch 28.70-31.12. Then another posted with same. The phone is on its way to Motorola. I just hope my "refurb" will have a new battery because I sure don't need a replacement device that's been out there for nearly a year.

its motorola theyve sent the updates to the beta team (aka, motorola feedback network). once motorola feels the updates good, it pushes it out to the devices on the RETUS software channel (all of the USA models), so its not necessarily up to the carrier to provide yall the updates, cause you can get it even if there is no sim card in the phone. its just not quite ready for public release

After dealing with Moto when it came to updates for my Atrix 4G (scrapped 4.0 update) and Atrix HD (ignored in favor of Razr HD), and then moving away to my J5, i wasn't sure how Moto was running things today. From what you're saying, the update process hasn't changed.

It makes sense what you say, b/c I was able to track down the modern day sbf files for flashing via rsd (script used today was seen back then when presented in a non-sbf format, still flashable via rsd), ended up reading android version 9, with build dates back in feb and march of this year.

I'm not following this closely, just poking around for any news for a family member, but we definitely know that its in MFN testing?

I'm still stuck on the November 1, 2018 update. It even says I'm up-to-date. Any ideas why?

I am bootloader unlocked with Magisk.

 

[Graphicnature]

Just updated. Z3 Play unlocked.

 

[HuKuToC34]

Just updated. Z3 Play unlocked.

OTA?

 

[Graphicnature]

Yes. OTA. AT&T network. Not sure if that makes a difference.

This is what I got today, but it is the FIRST ota to hit my phone. It's the Feb 1 security patch that LMSA app couldn't install properly on my phone. The replacement phone came with Jan. 1 patch.
I do hope we get more sightings of RETUS Pie in the wild. I'm returning my sim to my Pixel 3a for a while--at least I get AT&T wifi calling with it. I even get a better phone signal with it.
