#FAQ

1. What about my data after i install this update?
Ans: Your data is safe after installing the update. For more safety, you can backup your data as an additional safety measure.

2. Will this work on my bootloader unlocked device ?
Ans: No, it will not work with bootloader unlocked. You need to flash the Oreo stock rom to be able to flash this on your device.

3. Why my country name is not mentioned for updates ?
Ans: You may try Indian update zip file and if it doesn't work then try the Mexican one.

Load it up and tell us.

Load it up and tell us.

Definitely trying. Stock recovery was not spawning ADB, so I'm trying to boot TWRP live. It's been a while, and it's hanging on the TWRP page.

I tried TWRP (installed) didn't work.
I'll try returning to stock and sideloading tomorrow after work.

 

[XBrav]

Ok, trying the stock way:

1) Reboot into bootloader (Power + Vol Down)
2) Select boot into Recovery.
3) At "No Command" Screen, hold down Power and press Vol Up.
4) Load from SD card, or live dangerously like me and sideload via ADB (Minimal ADB and Fastboot seems to work for me)

Will update once the push is complete.

I just downloaded.
Gave "Motorola Update Services" storage permission.
Copied the file from the computer to the phone's internal storage.
Checked for updates

And voilá, there was the update.

I'm already running Pie.

 

[XBrav]

Up and running here. Didn't like my original image, but after flushing data, it booted fine. It did say I no longer qualify for updates which seems to be a new thing with Motorola and Pie, but common across other devices too. Either way, it all seems to be working.

Did it work really..??
Do we need unlocked bootloader or will it work for all..

Currently running Stock Oreo Firmware locked Bootloader.
Trying to sideload via ADB, will post results after completion of process.

I guess for Pie it is the same.


Tried.
Didn't work.

Can anybody guess what I did wrong?

Did you follow the steps I posted earlier? What does the phone show for errors?

For those of you who were curious:
1) Software channel remained the same.
2) Dual sim in XT1710-09 seems to be working fine so far (haven't tested a second sim, but the sim statuses are showing for both card slots).
3) No issues with mods so far (Tried the battery pack and gamepad. Hasselblad, projector and speaker are not with me).
4) Build number is PPS29.133-30, Patch Level September 1, 2019.

My phone is in Canada, and the modem patch included works fine as far as I've seen. I haven't fully tested the bluetooth stability yet to see if it's working better than before. Android Auto is working great though.

My smartphone Model name is XT-1710-10, Dual SIM.
I was successfully able to sideload the Update, with the command
"adb sideload Blur_Version.29.11.30.albus.retail.en.US.zip".

It took around 15 to 18 mins for the sideload process to complete, later the phone restarted and showed the usual Moto loading screen for another 12mins or so, for a moment i thought it was stuck, but no, it successfully completed the update process.

Everything is functioning as usual, i noticed that the placement of signal bar, wifi icons, and battery icons on the top right corner of the screen seem to be not proper.

Same is the case with the arrangement of signal and wifi icons on top right portion inside notification drop down menu, seems to be too close to the screen edge.
Additional features I saw after the update are, 3 finger screenshot, Screenshot editor, Media controls provision inside 'Moto Actions'; Attentive display inside 'Moto display'.
Also the addition of "Digital Wellbeing" inside settings Menu.

It took around 3hrs for me to solve the problem, I am still not clear, what was I doing wrong.
What worked for me somehow was... I properly uninstalled the old ADB installations first vis control panel and then downloaded the latest version of adb i.e adb-setup-1.4.6.exe, and repeated the normal procedure of adb sideload, this time it worked.

I couldn't find an option to enable Android Pie navigation gestures, even in System>Gestures, there is no option.

Do existing TWRP and Magisk root work?

 

[OldUncle]

Thanks to everyone who replied with advices :good:

It is my first try to Sidload OTA.

I found out that, I needed the latest OPS27.76-12-25-22/23 stock firmware and I was using OPS27.76-12-25-13.

I fastbooted to the latest but, it didn't work again and I think the reason is that my device is XT1710-11 (Chinese), though I have fastbooted it to RETEU version (Modems preserved) and works fine.

If my guess is correct, that means I need to wait for the fastboot version for Pie

Get the firmware you need from that link and then fastboot flash it to your device.

But make sure if this OTA Pie is for your device.

I too have an XT1710-09 (Europe, RETEU software channel). Any idea if this firmware will work for me? Thanks!
