You need to flash a "logo" to it.
Search on the web, you can find a few options and then flash it via fastboot mode:

 fastboot flash logo logo.bin

Personally i dont wanna mess that up so Im fine with that warning err so i didnt flash any logo on it and left it be!

 

[cesardemi]

and most importantly, skipped "fastboot erase modemst1 and st2"

What is the importance of skipping the erase of those 2??

I've seen both sides on this same thread of people saying skip them and others saying that actually erasing worked for them.

Thanks.

Your bad english would explain why you attempted to flash the Pie update without unlocking your bootloader.

Your bootloader must be unlocked.

For god sake, please, READ before doing anything. I have read countless posts where they asks the same thing over and over again.
In this case it is REALLY hard to unbrick the phone, but it isn't impossible. I think you need to boot to custom recovery through ADB (not flash, I repeat, BOOT through adb).
However I haven't know someone yet who has unbricked his phone with locked bootloader.
If you need help search on other threads for more information.
With a unlocked bootloader, you can mess up with the software everytime you want as you don't attempt to reflash bootloader and something wrong happens (like a blackout during that specific flash). But yeah, with the unlocked bootloader flashing images through ADB and TWRP is nearly guaranteed safe.

This is only needed for two XT1710 variants, the XT1710-08 and the XT1710-11, the latter also needs to skip modem and fsg. Also I think flashing these two commands on a Dual SIM model breaks the SIM 2 functionality, as modemst1 and modemst2 may point to the SIM1 and SIM2 card slots, respectively.

It seems that none of the guys who makes these guides were aware that the modem file from the updated Stock Pie causes several audio issues during calls with Custom ROMs. At first I thought it was my loudspeaker, but it wasn't that as soon as I went back to Stock ROM the audio during calls worked once again. After lots of testing and searching on the forums I found more people with the same audio issue during calls, only affecting Custom ROM users with Stock Pie's faulty modem. Flashing the modem file from Stock Oreo fixes the issue, so Custom ROMs can be used with proper audio after updating from Stock Pie.

In other words, when upgrading from Stock Oreo to Stock Pie this line MUST be entirely skipped:

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

That way the phone preserves the modem file from Stock Oreo which has no issues with Custom ROMs and works flawlessly.

hi all,
i want update my moto z2 play to android 9 pie. i have xt1710-08 with android 8 stock rom and software channel is retcn.

which rom can i use? In the first page is not very clear.
if i don't want erase my data, i must use the second script, without "fastboot erase userdata" .. but in the script I see "fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin" and "fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn". I must remove this for fingerprint sensor and calls?

thanks

Tested on a XT1710-06 full wipe and it works great, because i wanted to do and update and i goot bootloop.

Just in case someone find this, im from México, I flashed this fastboot rom and installed Magisk to get root, used the Canary build to make it work with my fav games that are Fate go and Pokemon go (spoof) and it works like a charm, thanks.

did u flash modemst1 and st2?

i have 1710-06, do u recommend me to flash android 9 pie modem and flash modemst1 and st2?

you can just skip "fastboot erase userdata", just edit the script with notepad and remove that line
As for modem NON-HLOS, you should only flash NON-HLOS if you are updating from 7 to 8
You want to update from 8 to 9, right? Then also skip modem, or as else you will have a hard time having calls when using any Custom ROM.

fsg.mbn you should skip it, that is for fingerprint functionality.
Ideally you would want to download Stock 8.0 Oreo for your XT1710-08, that way if you screw up something you can just reflash Stock Oreo (skipping partition) and everything should work again.

did u flash modemst1 and st2?
i have 1710-06, do u recommend me to flash android 9 pie modem and flash modemst1 and st2?

My original guide is meant for use with XT1710-06, so you should not have any problems, regardless of modemst1 and st2 being flashed or not flashed. Only relevant file to skip when updating from 8 to 9 is modem

hi all,
I have update my moto xt1710-08 from oreo to pie and I have removed the 4 commands:

- fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
- fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
- fastboot erase modemst1
- fastboot erase modemst2

after update the phone took about 20 minutes to start again but now I have problems with the signal. Often the phone does not pick up and I see the message "out of service" and every now and then I see the signal but if I try to call, the signal disappears and the message that I have no network comes out. Why did this happen if I skipped the modem commands?

EDIT : I tried to do a hard reset but I can't finish the configuration because the messages "the com.motorola.process.system process continues to stop" always comes out.
I try to reflash the android pie with fastboot but the problem remained. I also tried to put back the chinese version with zui interface with fastboot but i got an error (FAILED) on both gpi and bootloader. I'm desperate. Who can tell me how to solve this problem?

 

[specialdo]

I restored the Chinese Rom with efs, then reflash oreo and worked fine, I tried again to flash pie, the version linked in this thread and at startup I always have the same problem: the process com.motorola.process.system has stopped and the phone is unusable. How come? didn't it happen to anyone? I want pie rom on my xt1710-08 retcn!!

 

[JPT223]

Thanks for this guide! Worked fine on the 1710-9.

What exactly do these commands do?

fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
