For instance?
A lot of posts are refers to the pingpong root, however, I was not able to root my device with this tool. It says - no data for your device, stay tuned....
As of the first or.second Ota, root was essentially dead for the S6

read somewhere they achieved to get the s7 rooted...any hopes of that making it to our phones...All I want is to edit the damn host file!!!

Getting a 404 error for that link
The link works for me, so I'm not sure what happened. Here's the post.
Hmm. Even if it showed which software version this was verified on, not sure if I'd be brave enough to try. But thanks for the update!

Kingroot facebook page:
Kingroot update to 4.9.3 (15th june 2016)
The latest version supports more devices with Android OS Marshmallow this time (16th june 2016) and g925v is not on the list
Kingroot conquers more! (28th june 2016)??
I also get the error trying to load the google plus page, as stated above though they did post that same picture on their facebook page .
There is a comment on that picture by a facebook user saying "Samsung S6 Edge (SM-G925V) is not supported as it says in this post.".
To be fair theres no mention to whether this user tried Android 6.0.0 or 5.1.1 or whatever so it does not completely destroy all hope of Kingroot working, but it certaintly doesn't help
I think that you might have to be a member of the Kingroot Fans Club G+ community in order to use the link in my prior post. I apologize for not having thought of that.

That was my comment! I decided to give it a try and see if it worked. I downloaded the APK version to my phone and it just gave me an error message. I haven't gotten the chance to try the desktop version yet as I only have a Macbook and my Windows PC is still at home. I had hoped if I commented on the Facebook page that someone from Kingroot would have gotten back to me. They didn't. I'll keep everyone in the loop if I make anymore headway on it.

I've used it for a different phone and it worked fine. I downloaded the windows exe but it was in chinese so i couldn't figure out how to work it. The apk said our phone isn't supported

Android Pay working on this build for me, it seems. Took the risk and seems to be legit. B8 I had only minor issues with but this already seems a little smoother, it passes Safetynet (B8 did not) and I was able to add cards to AP whereas with B8 I couldnt.
Thread seems to be deleted. Was somebody able to download it before?
The link is still up, here it is :

Says I'm on 6.1 generic
I'm running into this exact same issue. received my phone a few days ago and it gives the "not found" error when trying to download the update.
My device says it's current: "BLU_R0010UU_V6.6_GENERIC 23-08-2016 20:17"
It says it's trying to download: "BLU_R0010UU_V7.4.2_GENERIC_6.0_20161109-1343"
Does anyone have the update file for this so i can do a local update?

I did check the guide, and that firmware/OTA post.
If you had actually checked the OTA links, you'd see that the needed update isn't there. The last OTA available to download from the guide is 6.6, which i'm already on.
I've sent in a ticket through the update app and hopefully they'll reply soon.

This probably has something to do with the new firmware their rolling out. Hopefully it'll get resolved soon.

Honestly, you are here on XDA a developers site. I would have thought you would be happy to have the updates not working since you can just load custom recovery and flash roms made available from community.

You'd think that!
Truth is, I couldn't find a single mention of this issue anywhere online, except here.
I've rooted phones before (using guides from XDA even), but i'm not in a position to load custom firmware on this particular phone. I'm using it as a cheap work-phone and the company i work for explicitly require the device not to be rooted or the OS modified in any unofficial way unless needed for development. But XDA is a good resource for finding stock images and is the most active online resource I trust when it comes to android phones.
I contacted Blu and they told me to delete the app data but it still didn't work for me. Also my update is V7.4.2

There are some updates "captured" from other users posted in the forum. Up to v6.6 is listed in the index , linked already.
This link is for update from 7.4.2 up to 8.3
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72128380&postcount=2
and here too (same 7.4.2 to 8.3)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72146824&postcount=37
But if the OTA app is not working maybe there is something else wrong.
Do you have sdcard installed? (shouldn't mater but if so try removing it)
Are you connected to wifi?
Maybe Blu is blocking updates because they had posted that roll back.

Removing SD card didn't help, any way of getting past the signature verification thing?
Motorola is being unbearably slow about their Pie rollout, so here we go.
Do NOT try to downgrade back to Oreo if you've already taken the update.
If you haven't updated yet, please be sure that you will not want to return back to Oreo once you've used the guide below.
Thanks @smyaknti for the tip.
Prerequisites:
1. 100% Stock ROM with no system modifications of any kind.
2. This file is only for the Indian variant of the Motorola One Power.
3. You should already have the September security patch update installed on your device.
Please don't install this over the August security patch update.
https://mega.nz/#!k403FKCQ!9myFzAcCEhMk_EJ2Rl8miRO4dCqZoga-MOvli1SD3_8
1. Download from link and move it to root of your internal storage(not in any folder like Downloads etc). Put it outside all folders.
2. Go to Settings>Apps¬ifications>Show all apps>3dot menu(top right of the screen)>show system apps
3. Find Motorola Update Services and give it storage permission.
4. Go to Updates screen and check for update. It will show up. Install as any normal OTA. Enjoy Pie!
I've installed Pie on my own device using the same file and the same method. So it's tested by me.
For users who are currently using Magisk to root their devices, this method is not for you. You'll have to return back to full stock using fastboot images.

What about future updates??
Hey @reddevil08, would you believe it?
They banned you from the official Moto One Power forum for providing people with the official Indian OTA.
Look at the screenshot. Really disappointed with Lenovo and Motorola.

Stupid admins on that forum. Merging threads that have no relation to each other just to hide bugs in Moto's software.
People on OnePlus' forum share ota links freely and no one complains.
They banned me for distrubiting pirated software :laugh: If it wasn't the official OTA file, it wouldn't have installed from within the system and with a locked bootloader. It's gonna look pretty stupid when that same firmware is distributed few days later :laugh:

Haha, yeah.
I previously had a Moto X and you might not believe, I had to get the motherboard replaced 4 times under warranty. So I think keeping the warranty intact is the way to go because even Motorola's hardware can't be trusted.

However, the link to that file has long since been broken, as evidenced by the comments in the original post. And I can't find it uploaded anywhere else, save for some dodgy Chinese websites I neither have the authorization nor the linguistic ability to navigate. I was wondering if anyone could share the original ZIP, or could upload the source code (assuming it's a simple algorithmic calculation). Ty in advance ^^
