Why didn't att just play nice and update to V3? Instead they update To V4 so I can't flip flop between t-mobile firmware and there's. Does root still work? On the other hand, I can flash Verizon firmware I guess.

I haven't attempted rooting it, and I won't be. There might be a small chance that it may work but I'm not sure.

Well ... if root doesn't work I know what my next firmware will be. (Tmobile)
I can't root, looks like it's back to the drawing board. It figures this happen as soon as I feel it necessary to root my device......
I advise everyone to not take any OTAs after the first August patch so you can still be able to root and flash roms. It isn't a problem for me since I wasn't planning on rooting this phone again anyways..

Pretty sure the eng boot will still work on the new BL, just no old ROMs. :^)

@raremind couldn't root on BL4. It's unfortunate how we can't root on API2, but if the developers are willing to find out a new way to gain root access on API2, then it wouldn't be the end of the world for anyone who wants the latest OTA but still want root.

G930U firmware was just updated to API3 which has the incremented bootloader, so the individuals who updated to the latest AT&T firmware can use U firmware now. :victory:

I'm not sure why you quoted me but if someone flashes a soap test that is not for their phone then they need not cry when it bricks and yes it could fail on the official update.
I can't imagine why anyone would be dumb enough to flash a soak that someone posts when they will eventually get it without bugs when it's released.

I know what I am doing. I have had many phones and have flashed many different ROMs onto them. Also, it says this on the website linked in the video: "Also, this is only for model no. XT1643, Moto G4 Plus. Update: It is said to be working on all these model nos. XT1643, XT1640, XT1642, XT1622 and XT1626." The only way people would know if it works on those models is if they tried flashing it. It never said that the xt1625 was supported, but it also never said anything about not being supported.
Also to the person who doesn't understand how we could be so "dumb" to flash this, we want a taste of Nougat right now. It isn't too hard to flash back to Marshmallow when the official update comes out. Sure there are bugs in the soak test, but that is to be expected.

Ok, we all know how good you are but for someone with a locked bootloader it's not that easy to fix a soak test problem. Since I've personally officially soak tested previous models of the G phones multiple times I know that a soak test can actually stop an official OTA update. I've even had them push a soak to me that had another carriers bloat in it.

True. I keep forgetting that you aren't able to unlock the Amazon version. I personally have the unlocked version from Motorola.

I have to agree with you the youtuber who made the 7.0 installation video above has also made a downgrade back to marshmallow 6.0 tutorial and it downgraded just fine ? i also noticed rite after he downgraded he got a ota update so that obviously means when the official 7.0 starts to roll out anyone who did do a downgrade of the soak test will get the ota update so all this crap about we cant get the official update ota if we flash this soak test is just plain rubbish

You used to be able to unlock it, but Amazon put a stop to that. You just happened to get it unlocked before Amazon stopped it.
will it work on XT1624 ?
So I may give this a shot. I have been rooting and flashing all my phones until the G4 which was perfect for e out of the box. So I wonder if there is any way to revert back to Marshmallow without unlocking the bootloader. Otherwise I might skip it and wait for the official update. Thanks in advance.

If so that is why it works.

The OTA system is completely broken. EU phones have had 9 Nougat updates already. just get to marshmallow B11, then update to Nougat B09
A quick question from being new to the Axon 7, will this relock my bootloader, and or will I lose my ability to root? I'm on B32, but downgraded bootloader with toolkit, and am rooted with SuperSU. I am loving my Axon 7, having had it 1 month. Previous phone was a POS Sony xperia z4, and the Axon blows it away.

No, and never lock it. You'll end up with a brick if you ever lock the bootloader without getting the phone completely functional and 100% stock (recovery, system)
Thankyou, I never intend to or want it locked. So I assume all I'll have to do after the update is re-flash superSU?:good:

Again. The OTA system is completely broken.
Just take an official zip from the Download Center. It's there for a reason you know
Other than the security patches, seems like a very light update. Does anyone have it yet? Are the improvements mostly under the hood or is there anything actually noticable?
I'm mostly looking forward to Oreo and hopefully fixing the metadata Bluetooth problem.
Nothing noticeable. Updated security patch to December.
As someone that uses auto night light. It is broken now. It is no longer automatic at least with boot password. Have not tried without yet.

There no point in relocking your bootloader. Starkiller uploaded the full ota. You need to reflash firmware and dont root it. My guide has the instructions for reflashing stock. After you do that put the ota file in the root of your sd card then go to settings, apps, and find Moto update services and allow it to have access to your sd card. Then go the update Moto software from settings
---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- 3Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------
But the ota starkiller uploaded is for the boost Mobile variant xt1922-7 not for xt1922-9 sorry I forgot about that. Do not use the ota I mentioned. Best you can do untill your pie update is uploaded on mirrors is either wait for the ota to hit your device then reflash stock firmware then take the pie ota or just wait. Either way you still need to be on unrooted stock firmware. relocking your bootloader does absolutely nothing anymore basically.
Wait, so if I get the XT1922-9 model (Best Buy/Target) I'll be stuck on Oreo? I guess that's the downside of not getting a carrier-locked phone.

Can anyone confirm this as a fact? I bought an unlocked model XT1922-9 from Lenovo direct.
I actually want to remain on 8/Oreo because 9/Pie blocks call recording apps. :fingers-crossed:
If I got stuck on Pie, I'd have to root in order to get call recording back. I'd rather not bother!
if anyone is bummed Motorola is taking so long to update our unlocked g6 play/wanting updated vendor and stuff to run pie gsi's and looking to flash pie for unlocked retus jeter (xt1922-9,) just flash the USC version on lolinet. Everything I have tested so far works just fine, only thing I have not tested yet is sim(calling, text, data.) My IMEI is still being shown in settings so I'm guessing when I pop in my verizon sim everything will be fine but YMMV. Make sure your bootloader is unlocked first before flashing because the boot.img will give a bad key message but it works fine.

in about phone, software channel still says US retail even with the USC firmware.

Maybe I should have phrased it better. Is Pie coming to this model at all? It seems like Pie is being reserved for carrier-branded phones, perhaps as incentive to get a carrier-branded phone instead of an unlocked non-carrier-branded phone. If that is not the case, is Motorola/Lenovo waiting till the last minute? Cause Android Q will be here in a few months (August).

Ok thank you. I have been looking around and I have not yet found someone who has been successful in unlocking the bootloader on their Verizon Moto Edge+ in USA. I will keep searching.
Hope you find the solution to your problem.
Hmm, this looks promising. Just bought an unlocked S10 (Snapdragon) and will be returning it since it cannot be rooted. Thinking of grabbing the unlocked version of this phone to use on T mobile. It is the same price as what I paid for the S10, so I would only be out the $50 restocking fee. I need root, Adaway, and of course Viper4Android. As of right now, my old rooted Galaxy S4 with Viper4Android absolutely KILLS the S10 in the audio department.

Yes and yes, but there's an easier way.
When an OTA update arrives uninstall magisk (this is only temporary)
Install the OTA and make sure to not restart
Go back to magisk and install but select install to inactive slot (After OTA)
Now you can restart and you're done!
Here's the guide where I got this from
When I tried to restore the back up image for the uninstall step, it says "Stock backup does not exist". Where can I get a stock boot image? Does it have to be Racer xt2063-2 or can it be xt2063-3. This page has variants of xt2063-3, but the Google drives they're stored on have "reached their quotas" so you can't download the images. Those images being stored on a Google drive has me suspicious of motostockrom.com.
What are the variants about? That site not explaining that also makes me suspicious.
Edit: l found a stock boot image here. What is the name of the file Magisk needs to see and where do I put it?
