Just wait longer.
You´ll get first the qualcomm optimization blah blah
and then you´ll get an error saying it couldnt be activated.
This process took like an hour on mine the last time.
So I got a sprint sim card and it did it faster.
good luck

You cannot update because the update is not for the hd2 don't try it!
I just found my Revolution and I forgot that I factory reset it the last time that I used it. So I'm trying to update the phone without it being in service how do I do that?

Have you tried doing "settings / about phone / software upate / check new" while on wi-fi?
I don't think there's a way to do it offline, yet. Not to zvb, that is. You can TOT it to zv9.
what does Tot mean and how do you root the phone?

This will take a lot of space so can we Message from here on out. I will send you a PM with some instructions as I assume that this is okay.
Fact that the phone powers on at all and you can get into fastboot, you are not bricked. A brick is when there is no activity at all. AKA, when your bootloader no longer works.
I have a US Cellular Moto X XT1093. Let me know if you need further assistance.

UPDATE:
OK I'M BACK INTO RECOVERY.
Now can I erase the bootloader and everything and reload all of it without having the phone unlocked?
When I try and do "fastboot oem unlock" it comes back with an error and says "I Must have OEM Unlocked in Developer Options. That's great, but I can't get the phone to boot into android so what should I do at this point?
I don't want to try and erase everything and reload it just to find out i've seriously messed it up at this point, even though the silly thing doesn't load anyways.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so I received a new Nexus 6 device from T-Mobile for my girlfriend.
In our area unfortunately Wi-Fi calling is a must, so she went ahead and did both of the OTA updates. After doing the second update the phone was stuck optimizing apps, and then the screen wouldn't work...
So I then hooked the phone up to the PC and through ADB did the following commands
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
That was supposedly the commands I had found on the internet to go ahead and factory reset the phone.
Now the phone is stuck at the balls swirling and it won't stop. Try and hold the power button down and the phone just restarts itself, won't shut down so I can't even get back into the recovery.
I tried to first load up a factory image before doing something silly like that but when I tried to run the command "fasboot oem unlock" it says I need to enable developer options in Android... which I couldn't get to anyways...
Can someone please help with this issue. Her old phone got stolen and now she has this one which is completely messed up.
Thank you for anyone who can help me!

You have to hold power and down on the bottom button, or since you have adb, you can do "adb reboot recovery". Push volume down first then power. After that you can enable MTP and toss a rom on the phone. Do a complete wipe with the exception of the internal storage ( I did storage one time accidentally, yuk) flash a ROM and you should be good
I can't even turn off the device at this point.... It is just stuck at the balls spinning and won't go any further.
When trying to shut the phone off the power button just restarts the phone, doesn't shut it down. Not sure what is going on.....

It should shut down if hold the power button long enough. Takes like 20 seconds or so.

As far as I know with stock recovery about all you can do is try to format cache and try to factory reset again. Otherwise will have to take back to T-Mobile and RMA. Make them update it. Lot of OTA updates have been failing.
I'm just curious to know if there is someway. Maybe I can force TWRP recovery or something like that on the phone by at least getting in the bootloader... There is a fix for bricking if it is like that.
Why the bootloader just doesn't come unlocked I will not understand. It would prevent motorola from having a heap of useless devices, as i'm sure probably even motorola themselves cannot fix the device.
Seems like a whole pile of sh*t if you ask me.
Anyone have any ideas? Worst part is T-Mobile won't ship a phone over the weekend either, so thats just 3 more days without a phone which is just wonderful.

There is no way to flash a recovery without the bootloader unlocked. On these devices it is best to unlock bootloader first thing before trying to update so have some control if things go bad. Moto has the ability to reflash them like J-Tag. TMobile store may replace it.
Messed up part about T-Mobile is the fact this was an exchange for a stolen phone. They actually waived the insurance fee of $175 and the tax on the phone... which was extremely nice of them since I still owed about $350 on the LG G3 my girlfriend had.
So since the exchange was done over the phone or I should say since the new handset would bought over the phone the store won't replace it... it's weird they operate that way because the store should be able to replace anything that is sold via phone or internet and vice versa.

Yea. It a bad situation. We have seen a lot of them choke on the OTA flash. Best to unlock upfront and fastboot the updated factory image. You are always safe once it is unlocked.
Still begs the question as to why they don't just unlock the bootloader from the factory to avoid all this crap. I mean imagine how much money and time they would save if they just did it? I completely forgot about unlocking the bootloader even because I figured hey just OTA it and be done.... remember it's my girlfriend so I wasn't going to put some ROM on there that might have something broken or whatever... can't believe this **** though.

I understand. They look at unlocked bootloader as a security problem. It even tells you it disabled security when you flip the unlock switch. From the many OTAs we have seen brick it is best to just unlock even if running stock. Once it is up and running can always relock. Do not relock if have custom recovery or kernel tho. It will more than likely bootloop. I tried it for grins but made sure the unlock option was enabled and was able to unlock and reflash. Many have flashed new software and relocked before first boot to find out it bootloops and can't unlock again. Best to have TWRP so that if is locked have a adb/MTP option. We pretty much discourage OTA. I haven't tried but have seen a post that says must be locked to OTA. If that is the case you always have the chance of a bad OTA flash and end up same place you are now. With TWRP there are also OTA files that have been converted to flashable zip and can be flashed in recovery.
I have a SM-A730F (brazilian version, the carrier is Vivo) running stock, never flashed anything on it. I've done a few tries of maintaining this uptime already and never got the OEM Unlock setting to show. Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance
Go to about phone /software info/ build number click many times.
Is this phone bought factory unlocked or is it bought from a from a phone company example t.mobile.
It possible it is unlock able.

I do already have dev options enabled, but can't see OEM Unlock there. It is not bought from a carrier, I bought it straight from Samsung and can change carrier simply by replacing the SIM card
Factory reset

Will do. Is that the same as a hard reset? This erases all my data, such as pictures and stuff, right?
PS: Found out that my mother's phone, which was bought together with mine and is the exact same model, has an uptime of almost 900 hours and also don't have OEM Unlock available in dev settings. She also have never flashed anything on it.
When it boots up is their any other logo their besides Samsung?
Reset or hard reset is the same do it from stock recovery .

There are 2 Samsung logos. First a still image that says Samsung Galaxy A8+ Powered by Android, then a Samsung splash
That is normal I bought mine from China and been rooted since day one.
If you can't get oem unlock to show ireally don't know what to say.
I did not follow root directions I did it my way.
When you put a Sim card it activates rmm state lock that hides your oem unlock.
You can try a hard rest for 168 hour no reboot and don't disconnect from network if you do you have to start over.
Here is a long shot you can try remove Sim card and do a hard reset and reboot see if you can see oem unlock.
