I recieved OTA

Hello, if anyone is still looking for some OTA screenshots, or proof that the rollout has started. BTW im from Romania

Oh c'mon ! I also live in Romania and nothing yet for me... Anyone else got the OTA update ?
BTW, my carrier is telekom, but I don't think that matters

When will OTA be available in India?
Can anybody received OTA 5.0 in India?

Please make screenshot when you update it. Screenshot of Settings/About Phone. (baseband version,kernelversion,build number)
thanks

I don't think the OTA is country specific. It's done in random batches I think.

Yes, a friend running stock ROM with no root or any modification. Btw, you can download the ota zip from android police and flash the zip using adb sideload with the help of default stock recovery.

Happy for ya, man, but please don't forget about the rest of us. From what I understand, you are one of the 1% and Google await some kinda feedback from this 1% group (sent out automatically by the device) before they proceed to the next step - the 25%. So, please... please do not f*ck with your phone for the next 24-48 hours so that it sends out a positive signal or feedback (whatever), thus making Google move ahead to the 25% phase of the rollout. Here's hoping my device is part of that 25%. *fingers crossed*

I also live in Romania, my carrier is Digi, and the N5 i own is from them. No update yet, been bugging with the check for updates button all day yesterday
I know I could force update but i wanna use the OTA because i wanna see how Google envisioned the whole upgrade experience
Also this will be the only phone i will not be messing around with.

It doesn't matter how many times you mash the "Check for update" button. I read yesterday that they rollout the update to 1% of the devices to check for issues with the upgrade. If you didn't make it in the first wave, you won't force it by checking. Then they release it to 25%, 50% and so on. You can get the OTA from HERE manually, if you want it so badly. I flashed the factory image and didn't restore anything. Be sure to get the KTU84P, as the KTU84Q is only for a very small part of the world.
Edit: I found the Reddit thread that discusses this policy.

As said, the OTA file is available to download and flash manually so just do that as opposed to waiting

No. At 9%, it throws an (anti-rollback) error and reboots phone. I've spent all afternoon trying to hack into DL mode to get the port open. No luck so far. We NEED a valid TOT for ZVB.

I believe so, but its obfuscated somewhat. I PM'd you my logcat and wireshark packet capture along with what I think the OTA url is.
Specifically, I am currently on npw26.83-41 (Android One Moto X4, Android 7.1.1, November 1st security patch level), and got the update for 8.0.

Can you let me know that you got the PM? For some reason it is not saying I sent a PM, making me think XDA is not sending the message due to links in it.

Alright - here is the OTA based on what I captured. I unfortunately can't give out the official OTA link because Motorola are essentially only allowing temporary access to the OTA download link.
Here is an unofficial reupload of what I got: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1PcJgtVerTPgqgfM4---q_SIGK4jmgRp7
Again, use at your own risk. This was the OTA for the Android One Moto X4 variant on 7.1.1, November 1st security patch. I have no idea if it will sideload since I got the update through the built in updater. If you are looking for a guide on how to sideload, I did a quick writeup in November on how I sideloaded the november OTA at https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74473681&postcount=79.
For those who want some more details on how I got to this point, I would be glad to provide those details via PM. I don't want to put those details out publicly in case Motorola wants to spoil all the fun.

I attempted to do the capture as well, but noticed it was being done via SSL, making it a bit harder. I was able to pin down that the host it was downloading from was dlmgr.gtm.svcmot.com. Irritatingly, it won't download the image if teathered via USB, only over wifi and/or mobile if you select that way.

Been trying to dump the payload.bin file with no luck... anyone able to peek inside yet? TWRP and root will require some changes to work with Oreo, so I am really hoping to get the boot.img at least.

I can verify that this method works. I just updated my Android One version of the X4 to 8.0 via this method.

My wife has another X4 that she hasn't updated yet. I attempted to capture the download, but it ended up encrypted. If someone has a good idea of how to capture this on her phone, I can attempt this. If need be, I can pull out the big guns, and setup an SSL proxy, create a self signed certificate, make the phone trust it, and route the update through the proxy to capture the data, but I'd prefer if there were a simpler method. Yes I am a network engineer.

I believe the file @AjkayAlan has is the full OTA, and not encrypted... but the older .bin dump methods are not working. I am just trying to extract the payload.bin

Well, it did work... initially.
After a while the download failed and I couldn't start it again. Chrome just said that the access to "dlmgr.gtm.svcmot.com" was denied

Oreo OTAs

Close thread

Should I bother trying this? What's new? I'm on U firmware which I like but should I wipe to go to Oreo?

Anybody tried this?

Personally I think is not worth it. This is not final build and will delete data from your device. Then next one will show up in couple days or even (maybe) tomorrow. If I will you I will wait for around another 3-4 weeks to get more stable build.
Sent from my SM-N950U using XDA Premium HD app

I tried it -- the installation took about an hour in Recovery, mainly stayed in the "Patching system files". This install *WILL* wipe your phone (not your SD card though).
The build was super fast (even faster than a fresh Nougat flash).
There were two things that caused me to flash back to Nougat.
- The Wi-Fi was extremely weak. At my desk at work, I can normally see 6 Wi-Fi networks. 4 of them are in my office. With Oreo, I could only see two of them, and it struggled to stay connected to the one that I normally have full signal on.
- Also, my AT&T Gear S2 Classic could not be connected. Upon attempting to pair (after confirming the PIN on phone/watch) Samsung Gear gave a message stating that I need to ensure my phone was compatible and that I had the latest Samsung Gear app. I confirmed that there were no available updates for ANYTHING in the Play Store and Galaxy Apps. Both stores showed that my app was up to date.
If it weren't for those two issues, I'd still be on the Oreo build right now.
Another point -- I experienced my first freeze/reboot on this phone in Oreo. I've had the phone since June of last year and never had any freeze/reboot issues previously. Never dropped or gotten the phone wet, etc.
Hope this helps anyone who is wanting to flash the build!

You need to ODIN to 935A's latest build (BRA1) then you can upgrade to this Oreo build by flashing it in Recovery.

Without a PC, you cannot update to Oreo unless you're already on the AT&T G935A firmware.

As far as I can tell, there's not an OTA sideload update path to BRA1. Someone else may be able to chime in with it.
I assume you are not an AT&T customer, otherwise you could use the official OTA method to get to BRA1.

Thanks for the feeback, I tried this and I agree on weak Wifi on Oreo. I will keep and play with it for sometime before going back to Nougat. Hopefully new stable version shows up soon.

You are a lucky man because i'm flashing via adb and only 59 %. Which issue with a WiFi ? Can you please provide me more information and maybe do you know who will it fix ?

I face the same issues you have described. Originally after applying the Oreo update, I was not able to enable Bluetooth nor WiFi. I had to reboot to recovery and wipe cache.
Once that was done, I was able to get WiFi and Bluetooth to work.
I have the Galaxy Fit2 and was not able to sync watch to the phone with the same error you received. ( I tried the version 3..1.80.80109 of Samsung Accessory Service as suggested in another thread, no luck.)
WiFi as you described is pitiful, luckily I don't rely on WiFi as much so I will continue on with this Oreo build.

Does anyone know how to turn off the red heart rate sensor light off? It is accidentally turning on even if I dont get my finger on it after oreo update

Wifi issue meaning weak signals in Wifi connection on Oreo. I simply followed the steps in flashing through SD card and it took a while (40 mins or so) but eventually it went through the install.

Should I update? (L09C636B168)

Hello I have a P9 EVA-L09C636B134. I live in the US.
EMUI 4.1
Android 6.0
Phone works ok, it feels slow at times. A reboot usually fixes it for a day.
I have my FIRST EVER UPDATE from the updater (B168). Should I do it? It says there are 2 patches: first one is entirely in chinese, the second one says a few things like add watermarks, fix UI issue, optimize startup, etc.

Yes. Why are you still on marshmallow? Nougat has been available since last year.

I read that the update made their phones use more battery or something. Also I don't know how to manually update, I assumed it would hit this updater thing but I never got an update off the updater. No risk to update you think? I should just do it?

Im on latest firmware and I get 5-6 hours sot, emui 5 performs much better and you can use greenify for better battery life. I think you should update because we are getting emui 8 soon which has machine learning and provides better performance and battery.

Ok updated! I don't notice anything different. I am still at EMUI 4.1 and Android 6.0. Should I update these? How do I do it? I am interested in risk free updates. Thanks!

There should be 2 more OTA updates to get to nougat. Didn't you get them in the built in updater? if not use firmware finder.

OTA = Over the Air. Official update delivered by Huawei. Go to Settings > System Update and check for updates.
FirmwareFinder = App to show/browse/download available and future firmware updates on Huaweis servers. Only necessary for those who flash updates manually.
In your case go to System Update. There should be an update. Maybe you have to do this a couple of times to reach latest Nougat-Version. Good luck!

Hello,
I have firmware finder. Can you tell me how to properly update my phone using this? I have never used it and only received one OTA update EVER on my phone.

1. Set proxy settings on your wifi: (Server: localhost Port: 8080)
2. Search your model number
3. Select an update package (FullOTA-MF recommended) (FullOTA-MF-PV for android version updates)
4. Select in-app proxy (should get a notification proxy is running)
5. Download the package in system updater

Thank you. Perhaps I did something wrong.
1) set proxy to "localhost" and port "8080"
2) my model number was there, clicked it
3) went back to check settings: settings are (show packages for current region OFF, in app proxy port 8080, use simple OFF, show only fullOTA ON)
4) clicked first package (full OTA - MF)
5) clicked in app proxy
6) go to "updater" in settings
7) updater has package, click download and install
8) error "package checksum error." (immediately, before 1% downloaded).
Is it possible I need to not update the most recent one? I am still on android 6.0, EMUI 4.1 and like I said never had any other update OTA before (never used firmware finder). Thank you!
edit: restarted the phone, the package is now gone. Maybe I should do a different package, maybe an older one, not the most recent one?

Try the next build number up from your current one, one by one. When you get to the last marshmallow build, install the PV package to get to nougat.

Ok thanks, I am trying the oldest build B361 from B168. The download started.
There are 19 total packages, 14 before the first VD package. Holy **** this is going to take forever!
Thank you very much for your help.
Can you explain why these dont come automatically, why I need to do this manual process? Is it because I am in the US?
Also why do I need this proxy port thing?
Thanks again!

You just need the proxy so the package goes to your updater. You can set it back to default after.
What model number do you have?

There is no option for B193. all of the packages are in the 300's.
The download finished (I think) but it could not install. It said I needed to free up some space. I uninstalled some apps and now it will not let me view the progress (I clicked new custom version, it just takes me back to my setting page). in my notification screen, it as EMU download percetnage at -930% and it is not moving. I tried restarting a few times it all stays the same. Current version still says B168.
edit: I clicked menu and then "download latest full package" and it seemed to have reset everything. Should I try this package again? To repeat, this is the oldest package on firmware finder, B361. I also noticed there are duplicates in firmware finder... and some of the packages are for L09,L19 and L29, these are all safe to download? Should I keep doing oldest 1 by 1?
Thanks again for your help, sorry I am so noob.
