Android OTA Update by Country (How is Country determined?) - Moto G6 Questions & Answers

I have a Moto G6 and Brazil is already updating Oreo to Pie, how do they determine what Country your phone belongs to?
I want to know if mine has a different Country signature somewhere, thank you.

Not yet, just wait

What do they do, see if there are problems in Brazil and then decide if it is ready?

Maybe, don't know.
Until now I've only seen RETBR and RETIN (india) releases.

Each region is huge. If they did them all at once, the load on servers alone would cause problems.
And yes, also likely to see if bugs surface. Thousands more users, greater likely hood of bugs surfacing. Given many different use cases, setups, etc.

[Q] US Cellular Moto X 2nd Gen 5.0 Update

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any way I can get Lollipop running on my US Cellular Moto X (2nd Generation). As far as I know they haven't pushed out an update and they've been pretty quiet if they even will. If anyone knows, let me know! Thanks!
It's possible to get 5.0 on XT1093, but buggy and difficult. Not really worth it IMO. The Liquid Smooth, CM, Ressurection, etc custom ROMs will work for you though.
A little birdy whispered in my ear it won't be too much longer before Lollipop officially comes to USCC's Moto X 2014...

And where have you heard that it won't be long until the USCC version gets an update? As far as I can recall they don't have an amazing track record with updating devices quickly...

I agree they haven't been known for timely updates for most devices. However, they have done very well with Moto X and Nexus 6 so far, and considering Lollipop is currently running on LESS THAN 0.1% of all Android devices it's safe to say they're not exactly "behind" on the Moto X 2014 either. They got the original Moto X updates extremely quickly, faster than or on par with major carriers in fact.
I have heard that Lollipop soak testing is underway for our device. I'm not a soak tester myself, but this is what I have heard.

Good points there. I went and signed up for the Motorola Feedback Network, so we'll see what happens with that.

Now that soak is over, soak testing started 1/16, probably the reason you missed getting in. borxnx was right on the money! I'm pretty happy with how fast Motorola got the soak out and final firmware. I can tell you that Lollipop runs like a dream on the XT1093, and you are all in for a treat!

Before you accuse me of cheating, try reading my original post more thoroughly. I was part of the soak test! Also, if you looked at my original screenshot, the baseband alone would show you that it was developed for US Cellular (USC). I have posted the rest of the screenshot so there is no doubt in your feeble mind that I am running official firmware! Also, this firmware was the final soak version. I do not know if the OTA will be a different version from what I currently have, as I have not received the OTA myself. I hope this satisfies your pessimism.

I won't receive OTA because I am in different system. My phone is XT1097 and now is XT1085 (chinese). that's why I was asking about where you get the firmware because I want an american image to test the moto voice, chinese version is not working properly, but I see your post below that you are in soak program.
Just a comment, no matter if you are in chinese, american, european you can always have your original baseband with different system, even when is not meant to use it, that's why we asked about it.

No problem @niko99. I haven't received the OTA yet myself. I'm not really sure if the firmware I have will be changed in the OTA, or if it will stay the same, just know it is the last update during the soak test

so, you loose signal at all. is weird, because the OTA has patchs for every partition, even for the modems, in you case you have a problem with the modem, you need to flash your stock modem (NOH and fsg.mbn files) via fastboot
Hope this help you

Maybe he can help you. He has the stock firmware. You only need to ask.
By the way, if there is any system image of your phone out there you can use the modems, is indifferent if is kit Kat or Lollipop, they will work in both systems.
Good luck

Yes and that's because you are trying to flash and old stock recovery version, if you want to downgrade you have to use different steps here is the post

In your case you only need to flash the NOH and fsg files. By now I am not at my computer but here is my post check the steps to recover signal after an OTA update

Payton Fi Opw or Payton Opw

Dear friends
Searching the internet, I saw two roms, fi project and the normal project. I would like to know the best way to use it and if there is a difference. I ask this because I use the project fi and noticed a better stability and speed on the phone, but the security patch is not current like another rom. Thanks and hugs
Payton Fi is the Android One version, only receive updates if your software channel is retus, the other one is the international retail ROM, have more modifications than the Fi version.

It's impossible to effectively change the software, I think it's hardware dependant, other users tried without success to change via root access and flashing other ROM won't change.

Once I installed a 1900-1 by mistake, it worked normally normal. But when there was an update, I did not install it. Probably due to software incompatibility.

A question to finish the topic. Do you think it's worth using Project Fi? even with an older patch? I ask this because the design is faster and cleaner.

Only if you don't care about the patches, but if you updated your phone to February, flashing an older ROM could brick your device.

My Red Magic 3 arrived yesterday, must say very speedy delivery, 3 days only DHL express to Australia which was excellent.
I'm having trouble identifying the different models though, I've seen reference to a Chinese (CN), Global, EU but also a 'NA' version? Not sure if some are the same thing? I'm concerned as though from what I can tell the EU version doesn't have LTE Band 28 (which I want) but the NA version does and I'm not sure what I have other than it was branded NX629J.

Hi,
What good is that update ?
Does it bring one of the following features :
- working dark mode ?
- control of front LED ?
- Always On Display ?
- App lock in Recents ?
If none of the features is included, no point in updating.
I don't think I've seen any of these mentioned in the update log, but who knows...
