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

Hi there,
sorry for bothering you with my problem but I really cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. I am running a pure stock version of 4.4.4 on my international version of the moto E, with no root and no unlocked bootloader. I am willing to update to the latest 5.1 build but whitout unlocking the bootloader and stuff.
From what I understand the first step to do so in the easiest way possible would be to download the first 5.0.2 soak (22.21.32 341MB) update and put it into the main SD card. From then the phone should detect the update from the settings, but mine isn't.
I have already tried sideloading the update by going to the recovery and choosing update from adb. Also I have developer options enabled.
Thanks for your help.

Well, 1st of all let me tell you, that you are completely going the wrong way.... You DO NOT need to flash 5.0.2.... From what I know, factory images of XT1021 for official Android 5.1 lollipop are available...
Check this LINK
There are three versions, choose the appropriate one. Download it, and use mfastboot to flash the latest FW (Don't worry, because these are signed images and will work on devices with locked bootloader)
If u think that these are quite complicated, just hit the play store, make sure that Motorola Update Services app is updated.... and wait for the OTA.
If you are 100% sure that you have not unlocked the bootloader, then pm me, I will give the instructions to flash the fw.
Cheers

Thank you for your quick reply. My current firmware is "21.12.40.condor_reteu_reteuall.en.EU reteu" do you think I can safely flash the us retail version via mfastboot?

I am sorry, but I think I made a mistake
The official image is not available for your model at the moment. What u can try is wait for the update to be pushed.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

What i mean is, my current phone is 5.1.1. Can I flash firmware it all the way up to 6.0.1? Or do i need to do it version by version?

If your device got a full firmware for 6.0.1 then flash it, nothing to worry about it.
BTW, which phone?

I falshed using this >

It worked and fixed my phone as well with the logo looping.
Do you know, is there any methods at the moment to root my phone? I can't find it anywhere.

No idea about that.
Yes you could check AT & T Note 5 forum, if there's methods available then follow it and root your phone, otherwise stick with unrooted stock.
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.

You can try this to get OTAs

Stock 7.1.1 - no problems so far, now I will have to root it.
Hello! Anyone running the US variant of the Mate 10 PRO could provide me with a link to the original stock recovery? Trying to update to the latest OTA but I need the original stock to do so unless someone know how to update while using TWRP? Thank you in advance!
Bump, looking for stock recoveries for the US variant as well. I'm currently running TWRP and rooted with Magisk, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to install OTAs with TWRP.
I've got a us variant and haven't done anything with it. How do you extract the stock recovery? Using ADB? I've never rooted or unlocked a Huawei but have other devices so I have an idea how it works. If you tell me how, I'll try and upload it for you.
I don't know either lol. I've tried using 'Huawei Update Extractor' to extract the recovery from firmwares of other regions but it keeps on giving me error in reading the file.

I actually managed to get a stock recovery that worked. I was on the February security patch and the OTA for March came out and obviously TWRP didn't flash it. In that same TWRP thread there's a stock recovery_ramdisk (page 6) for a different region device that flashed and worked perfectly for my device. I took the OTA then reflashed TWRP and Flashed Magisk. Looks like that's the process I have to do every time there's an OTA

i messed up. im stuck on fastboot (bootloader) mode. everytime i choose recovery mode or start, it vibrates and restarts 4 or 5 times only upto the S logo, before going back to fastboot mode again.
"fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img" didnt work for me. it just starts my phone normally. so i tried "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img" and got error.
need help pls.
edit: im still reading the whole thread and learning of flashing my bs from skr-a0 to skr-h0. i hope ill succeed from the files and procedures im getting at this link: youtube.com/watch?v=ywC_9Hrpb_I
edit2: was successful in flashing to skr-h0 using flash_all.bat (not brick anymore yay! it gave me the chills really.) sending "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img" command also now loads me to twrp (thank heavens) but i need to system update OTA first before trying to root again. will update soon.
edit3: now enjoying root on android 8.1... found the hard way that twrp-3.2.3-0-blackshark.img is not for android 9 and wont boot to twrp. probably flashed back to 8.1 for like 5 times more or less. hope maurino or someone else will make and release twrp-3.2.3-1-blackshark.img soon. thanks again for this wonderful thread.
btw: i originally wanted skr-a0 but i cant seem to download the link in the youtube video. file is corrupted. is it just me? i tried on 3 different workstations to no avail.

I haven't had any issues with the pie update. TWRP currently doesn't work, but the source files on GitHub have been updated I believe. TWRP needs to be available for rooting.
