I bought a 9305 locked to EE in the UK, and unlocked it. I've been using giffgaff for the last couple of months.
I've yet to see an OTA update for 4.1.2. Has anyone with a locked EE phone seen an OTA update yet?
I'm curious as to whether the fact that I'm not running on EE anymore is the reason I'm not seeing the OTA update.
I couldnt get an OTA update so plugged it in via Kies and it updated. Try that

I bet you can still update as normal with kies. I haven't unlocked and still couldn't update through ota. I did it with kies and it was fine.
Also will be unlocking the phone officially via ee as I don't want to mess around with them. All.mobile companies are finding excuses to void warranties and leave you be once they hook you up with their contracts
Updated with kies last night. I would be nice if OTA worked, I can't stand kies.
Just realised when I unlocked i could do OTA updates.... just checked and no update for me. will try Kies tonight
Yesterday (July 20) I got an OTA update on my factory unlocked S6 that updated me from PF1 to PG2. I suppose a similar update will come to T-Mobile models soon. According to Sammobile the last update (PF1) came out on the unlocked 920T 8 days before the T-Mobile version. My phone is still 6.0.1. The only change I noticed so far is vibration on the stock keyboard no longer works when power saving mode is on. Anyone else notice changes? I think part of this update is to allow Samsung Pay to work with the Gear S2.
I'm still on Android 8.0 on my unlocked Moto X4 (XT1900-5). Is anybody else still 8.0 with this model?

Yes, I did not receive the OTA update to pie from Motorola yet (xt1900-7).
Glad to hear it, I was starting to think something was wrong with my handset.
Me too. We were left behind.
OTA server issue?
Are you in the UK? My moto x4 is stuck on the exact same update. XT1900-5, reteu software channel.
Motorola UK's website shows that the Pie update has been released when in actual fact, it has not been released at all. I have a feeling that there has been some error or issue with the OTA server causing no one here to recieve it.
A few people got it in December when it was released for all other variants, but that OTA clearly stopped soon after and now there have been no updates since October. It's a pretty poor performance from Motorola to be honest. I see no reason why they can't at least release security updates for Oreo.
Yep in the UK XT1900-5, unlocked.

With an unlocked bootloader, you usually will not get any OTA updates. If you can download them, then you cannot install them.

I meant unlocked, as in SIM free.
I've emailed Motorola, who told me they contacted their technical team. They are adamant that Pie will be released officially in the "near future" and they are aware there haven't been any updates since October. So, take that as you wish.
The Android 9.0 update has just appeared on my phone today.
Someone over on reddit mentioned that he wasn't getting it ota, but temporarily switched to a SIM from another carrier and it immediately showed up when he booted to the new SIM.
It seems that it now says on Motorola's UK software upgrade page, that the Moto X4 sim free began rolling 9.0 on 24th June 2019.

That would've been me. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence though because the update was released on the same day!
I had a similar experience. XT1900-5 version, running android 8.0.0 when I bought it. Didn't find any updates when I searched to try to update it to android 9 (pie) , I unlocked the bootloader, and later on decided to put a sim in it. After a few minutes of having the sim in, it found the update. The update downloads but when it's downloaded and in the "verifying" stage, it fails, probably because I unlocked the bootloader.
Advice to anyone with a locked bootloader - don't be like me, try putting a sim in the phone and get the update before doing anything else if you want Android 9.

must be stock rom to allow update to complete. Plug it to Motorola Rescue and Smart Assistant to see if it will update it.
I let a friend of mine put the Pie beta on my phone, and now I'm not able to get the official version. I have a security patch from Dec. 2019. I'm using tmobile in the US. I've tried smart-switch and ota and they both say that I already have the latest software. What do I have to do to get the official version of Android Pie?
Thanks in advance
Download the latest apropiate fimware/carrier firmware version for your phone and flash it with odin, from then on, you will receive the available updates
Has anyone received this, as an unlocked device or one running carrier firmware? I've seen a lot of mentions that even as much as a week ago ATT released it as an OTA but I still haven't gotten anything as an unlocked phone running U firmware.
I also checked Frija and was able to pull the phone up under TMB and SPR (but not VZW or ATT obviously) and it's saying the latest firmware is still Android 10. And I can't even use SamFirm because I get that authentication error lol so is this update live or not for US/ATT?
Thanks!
I have an unlocked G781U1 converted to ATT G781U and still no update.
unlocked, running on ATT, no Android 11 update yet, not even the Jan. Security update either.
Unlocked, running on Verizon, no OneUI 3.0 update or Jan security patch.
