Hello,
I have the following phone:
Moto Z
XT1650-03
RETEU
Android 6.0.1 MPL24.246-45
When I got the phone I only unlocked the bootloader en flashed TWRP recovery.
Now the Android 7 OTA update is released. I got the popup for de OTA update but it wasn't able to install the update because of TWRP Recovery.
After that I flashed the recovery with a stock recovery from the stock Android 6.0.1 MPL24.246-17 ROM, found in a Moto Z official/stock ROM forum here on XDA. After that I downloaded the OTA update again on my Moto Z, it starts with installing the update, then it restarts in recovery, it seems work fine when I see the stock recovery screen with installing the update, but after a few minutes I get an "Error!" with the "Android man with open belly" symbol. Luckily the phone stil boots and is working fine.
What's going wrong with the OTA update? Mismatch between the rom (MPL24.246-45) and recovery (MPL24.246-17) version?
My goal is to get stock Android 7 on my Moto Z. Who can tell me what's the best step for me to achieve this? Should I try another recovery to get the OTA update working?
Thank you!
Same happened to me when i tried updating the new 540mb update over Nougat. I think it happened because of the kernel (disabling force encryption), not sure :/

Ok, thank you for your answer. But I did not do anything with encryption... And how did you solve this, are you able to install that update now?
I gave my phone to the service center today and told them that it happened after the OTA update. I have my fingers crossed that they don't find out about the unlocked bootloader before fixing it.

Possible. Flash stock recovery from Rogers firmware which is a -45 subrelease.
Anyway I wouldn't upgrade by OTA...

Ok, I already flashed de stock .45 Recovery from Rogers.
My plan is the following:
- Reset device to factory defaults
- Download the OTA update to the device, just how it's meant to be
- See if it wil update successfully now
Or what can you recommend me to get to fully stock Nougat? This one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/android-nougat-moto-z-versions-t3506342
Or wait and stay on Android 6.0.1 till there is more information/ROM's/updates about this device? I know something about flashing/ROM's (before I had a OnePlus One with Cyanogen) but not as much as you guys do and I don't want to brick my device

Second choice is the (safe...) way to go...
Hi, got this phone for 1 month now used MM for 2 weeks then updated to Nougat but I didnt like it. Now I want to downgrade to MM is it possible with RSD Lite? If yes how? If no will factory reset solve battery drain, awfull notifications, over heating problems?
How did you upgrade? If you updated the bootloader to the N version, I'm not sure if you can revert back to MM.
OTAs are the Evil. :silly:
Updated via OTA. I could downgrade Samsung S4 isnt it possible with Moto Z? I did hard reset, downloaded my apps then closed my phone and charged it. I don't know what happened while phone was booting but it wasn't %100 battery charge btw. This battery life is killing me..
I'm sure you are not able to get back to Marshmallow because the OTA installs a new bootloader that is incompatible with the original Marshmallow

So I have to wait for fix eh
Which version did you apply?
If you updated to Nougat via OTA, there is currently no safe and simple way to downgrade back to Marshmallow as the OTA also updates the bootloader, meaning that Nougat is the oldest OS that is supported on that bootloader.
That's why I unlocked the bootloader on mine and used the technique outlined in the following thread. Not only do you get a perfectly working Nougat OS but also allows you to keep the old bootloader should you decide to downgrade to Marshmallow.

Android Pay detects not only root but also unlocked bootloader.

Ah, I was hoping you had the first release of N. But it looks like you have the current one.
If someone reveals easy and safe way to downgrade please tag me I don't have much time to check forums
Nougat upgrade OTA leaves you in a tough position
My new Moto Z took an update from stock MM to Nougat 3 days after I got it. Stupid me, I should not have accepted the OTA update. But I did. And you cannot go back to MM because the update contains a new bootloader that makes it a one way trip.
Search my other posts in the last few days to see that you are not totally prevented from unlocking and rooting. But unlocking the bootloader leaves a trail forever because a solid state fuse gets tripped forever.

I did not downgrade from 7.0.
I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone with twrp 3.xx and then used phh's Superuser.
But I must admit that I have not loaded a third party ROM yet. I want to load stock 7.1.1 when Motorola releases it in February or March.
Question would it be possible to use RDS light or the program at the beginning of this form to unlock set bootloader and then proceed to route
Today, it's morning update
Download:
Android 7.1 + MiFavor 4.2 full OTA for Chinese Axon 7 (A2017)
I do not set - all at your own risk
(My device Axon 7 A2017 (4/128) B13 / bootloader unlock / root)
Interested in whether there is at the moment twrp and root for this version of android
Thanks for link, I think my updater is broken, because I can't find nougat update (A2017 64GB). Has somebody install it already? And can you upload it to google drive or dropbox? Because I get "File download limit exceeded"
I just checked my ota. Nothing!!! Still getting your software is uptodate

Did anyone achieve root on this build?
I'm using a Chinese version of this phone, 4G+128GB.
After seeing the B09 OTA today, I updated the system. I then updated the latest and correct version of Google frame, Google Service, and Play Store, as there are not included in the Chinese version.
But now I cannot update any apps as they stuck at downloading stage. Anyone else experiencing the same?
I'm sure google service is not frozen by by Mi-Assistant, nor do I need VPN as I'm UK based.

How are you updating the google service? Via the GAPPs flash in TWRP or via the MiFavor app store?

I've contacted their official dev regarding the issue, hope he knows a thing or two although he's not in charge of system development for overseas versions.
did you guys try installing google with miui google installer?
http://www.mediafire.com/file/pka2i87kignp99j/MIUI_Google+Installer_V2.0.zip
this is what I used for b13 to install my google apps.
I'm still downloading nougat now and it may take a while with my connection.

regarding TWRP, I think you can flash it as long as you have bootloader unlocked already.
just reboot to bootloader, issue command "fastboot flash recovery <twrp.img>"
and for root, maybe su2.79 via twrp can still work since it is working for us model on nougat.
I still will try this once I finished downloading the update.
While back in the top six:
1. Successfully placed twrp
2. Make it a full backup of all (generally all but the cache)
3. Any attempt to establish through twrp gap's or supeSU - butlup
4. Backup why it is not helped by butlup (made a recovery, but the body still does not run)
5. From what I saw - a lot of the same items are not translated and some where Russian, fonts and pages do not intermeddle in the screen and nalazit each other
6. Settings, etc. much more available
In general, the expected raw and clear. By the way, with full restoration at B13 (did several times with full formatting system wipe) - Update again comes, downloaded and installed (standard means updates including) ...
Who does not feel sorry for the time can still experiment with the installation root (I'm tired at night), and did not try to put just apk.
If I happened to stay at Noug, as well - is "oh" ...

Same here as the first APK Miui tries to install is the Framework, but the version Miui downloaded was deems as corrupted, therefore it got stuck, the only way to get rid of it is clearing all back group apps.
I've got a reply from ZTE Chinese dev, it seems one of the fixes for this very issue was included in other builds for Android 7.0 but not for Android 7.1.1. There will be another OTA to fix this issue, but the ETA for now is Monday next week, and the ETA could change too.

Hello, i have A2017V1.0.0B13 and TWRP 3.0.2.2, NO root and bootloader LOCKED. Is this the official release of Nougat on Chinese Axon 7? i downloaded the fota_update.zip, i put it in the sdcard, and when i go to system update the update does not pop up, it says that "Your software is up to date". Do I need to have stock recovery for it to work?

That was the only way I could get it to work. Just be aware there is a problem with apps in play store not updatig at the moment...
Might fix by updating the play services from the previous replies but not tested yet...
What would be the best (most stable) update for a fresh, purely stock (reteu 6.0.1, no OTA update, bootloader not yet unlocked) Moto Z?
Update through OTA and then root? Would it prevent me from ever going back to Marshmallow?
Leave it without OTA update, root and then flash new ROM? Any recommendation for stability, root and moto-mods support?

If you take the 7.x update then you can not go back to 6.x because it installs a new bootloader. That said, others here may have their own advice. Personally I have had no problems at all with my retus version.

Are you still on 6.x or 7.x ?
If 7.x - did you update through OTA?
Are there any reasons at all to stay on Marshmallow then?

I am on stock 7.1.1
As there is still no OTA 7.1.1 for my Moto Z (which is strange, it seems that reteu got it already), I will probably have to take a more 'manual' way...
I will need unlocked bootloader to root anyway

Pull out the sim card, reboot your device and push the sim card back. Wait a while, then check in settings, about phone, softwareupdate if the 7.1.1 OTA is there.
If you're still on stock marshmallow you should receive several OTAs, one after the other.

Check, if your simcard is recognized by your device under settings, about phone, status of sim....if there is no provider or imei number, try another sim. I recall someone said, the OTA checks for the sim imei. If that doesn't help, try a factory reset and start from 0.

Thx much, I wasn't aware of that. I finally received the OTA update & am now on 13.0.4.0(SJBEUXM)
The MIUI 13.0.4.0 SJBMIX has been out for a couple of days now.
I'm using it with magisk and adaway and it's working fine, but missing out on thousands off adds makes me feel sad, because now I don't even know wether I don't want the products I didn't even know I didn't want. Does that even count as living at all?
