G6 Feb patch, is it safe to install - Moto G6 Questions & Answers

I'm worried it'll cause issues on my seemingly perfect running XT1925-6 daily driver. It's all stock, unlocked, running Android 8 with Jan security patch on the T-Mobile network.
Never have I ever been one to AVOID updates, but this guy is extra special.

Nevermind, I did it.

I upgraded to the most recent version of Pie for Retail and it has Digital Wellbeing built in.

Which thread did you follow?

I flashed the most recent firmware here: l

Is it truly that simple?

Basically. I used RSDLite to flash.

I see. Glad it worked out for you. I'm sure I'll take the plunge myself, someday.

I assume 81.5.31002 but I cannot be sure.

In that case... It's the firmware that shipped with the first release batch of the Motorola RAZR i. It is "branded" for the Great Britain region (thus the Retail.en.GB). It has an OTA update, maybe unofficial here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028814
I assume if it does not update OTA to JB
that I can without unlocking/rooting flash a later stock EU/UK friendly genuine Moto firmware?

That didn't quite make sense to me.
The current OTA we have is to a higher ICS version.
You can unlock the bootloader and flash whatever firmware you want with my home-made fastboots
There is an GB-update today for retail so no need to fastboot.
Is it Jelly Bean ?!?!?

Grrrr, my RAZR I seller is being a PITA, wont let me just come collect and pay
He wants me to pay 1st and he'll post. :silly:
he is only 15 miles down the road and says it would be "inconvenient" for me to just pay and collect
He has great feed back though, I don't see the issue.
pulled the trigger and paid
should have my Razr I tomorrow before 12
I have my Rarz I now
was asking for the update almost straight away
it is so nice to be using a android phone that is running a recent os that is not a battery hog

Havent looked in there since im waiting for 5.1.1 officially to arrive so i could root
We can't use anything 5.1.1 until we have a proper kernel built off 5.1 sources
There is a 5.1.1 leak for our device, getting him to share is a whole other story though. I sent him a PM, with no response. We'll see what happens.

And those won't be released until after the official release drops. If they already working on 5.1.1 it'll be at the the end of the month the earliest we'll see something.

It is only a leaked test build -not the official final one. I would not trust it. It doesn't have the new much better camera features and the camera is even not as good as the 5.0.2 version. I'd wait if I were you. Having an early release does not mean it is better than waiting a couple of weeks to a month!

Been awhile, but oreo!

So today, I was out helping my mother, and her s7 edge said it had a pending software update. It happened to be android oreo, I'll get the sw baseband version and everything shortly
Android version:8.0.0
Samsung experience version:9.0
Baseband version:G935AUCU4CRE4
Kernel version: 3.18.71-13527040
Build number:R15NW.G935AUCU4CRE4
Android security patch level: 4/1/2018

7.0 stock.
I'm using the beta and it's not pulling the update from their servers. Guess I need to flash back to bra1
My update just showed. Downloading now. Download speeds are painfully slow. I'm guessing due to high volume. Now if we could only find an easy option for root.

You will only receive the OTA update if you are using an AT&T SIM. There is another thread in this forum that you can use to download the updates and flash manually. Make sure you back your data up.

[TA-1012] Downgrade from Oreo/Pie to Nougat

Hi everyone.
I have a Nokia 8 for months, and I tried to downgrade my phone but I'm still stuck atm.
TA-1012
00WW_4_88B_SP07
Oreo 8.1 - December Security Patch
From what I understood, there isn't prepatched boot image for security patches above November, so I can't flash other firmwares...
Is there a way that I can rollback to NOUGAT by updating first to Pie ? And with april patch ?
I'm wondering if I could have Nougat one day
Thank you
I'll answer my own post since I managed to do it :
So I used NOST to flash NB1-303A-0-00WW-B01.nb0 (the first Nougat firmware for TA-1012) and it worked like a charm.
Sorry for the useless topic.

Yeah but I juste realized what was the issue.
The past months, I've been using NOST 0.5, and it didn't worked at all (many errors...). But I just saw that the developer updated to NOST 0.6, hence why it's working
i should be unlocked bootloader ?

To use NOST you need critical unlocked bootloader. you can refer to NOST thread to know how to critical unlock.

Battery, RAM and CPU consumption.
On ALL of my devices, I compared the oldest ROM with the next one and I always get better results on an old ROM. I mean, new firmwares are for new phones and can't be adapted perfectly to old devices in order to keep the same consumption.
It's like updating apps, in most of the case, your phone will lag more and more when you update your apps.

Question February 2023 Update

Does anyone know if it was pulled or simply never uploaded to the image pages? Full / OTA not available but probably by the time I post this it will be there.

I'm still getting an error. But I'll keep trying or just do the OTA this time although that is so annoying at optimizing.

I don't think it was pulled because they're available on Android Flash Tool. We'll just have to be patient. Same thing happened several months ago.
i think you are correct
thanks

My phone is an unlocked P7 on T-Mo, and I was sent the T-Mo update OTA. I'd love to know what the difference is between the base update and the T-Mo version. BTW, the OTA update was only 21MB.

Thanks for the quick reply, that worked! This is the first update I recall that had a specific T-Mobile build. Any idea what is different?
I got the OTA about 9PM (Ireland)
Seems to be snappier and app opening times and system app opening seems to be faster and smoother

No clue at the moment. T-Mobile was having problems with last month's update (most people on T-Mobile didn't get an OTA update) so I would imagine some of it addresses the problems they were having.
