Last one I got was April 1, 2019 on my XT1900-1

The latest update for the is the May 1 security update.
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/payton/official/
Using it on my Android 1 Edition and it's running very well. The March 1 update had a weird bug where the ZRAM would constantly crash slowing the phone to a crawl, no such issues on the latest update rooted with Magisk.

Hi! Is it possible to convert the reteu model (xt1900-7) to an Android 1 edition?
Thanks

I'm have the Android one edition and I just received the July security patch, if that's the updates your see referring too.

On Android One - Fi's channel (but, current sim is on T-Mobile USA) - got a system update 3 days ago and again another (2nd. one) update last night. Here are the screenshots - check & compare yours
PPW* included some system upgrade, where as the other one was a smaller Android security patch.

This could work. For a while I had run my XT1900-7 (RETEU) with XT1900-1 (RETAIL) ROMs. Everything worked except for Google Pay.

Hi, I just got July's update this morning (Moto X4 XT1900-7 RETEU)

Yes, it is possible, but OTA's will not work. Only fastboot flash full ROM every month will work (if full ROM will be available for download...)

I am getting mental with the Moto X4 xt1900-7 Reteu. What about the updates? I got this phone from Amazon Spain, but I am currentlyin Germany, the phone came with the basic 7.1.1 firmware, and got authomatically updated to 8.0.0, OPW27.2, Security Patch Level: 1 December 2017. I bought this because of the small size, and his compatibility with Lineageos, but I need the Android 9.0 Pie before installing Lineageos (this is stated in Lineagerom webpage). The update never come ...... System Update says "Your Device is Up To Date".... Frustating!!! Do you know if there is a version of Lineageos that I can install fromOreo 8.0? or can I download Android Pie for my Moto somewhere? Sorry, getting totally mental Can anybody help me please?

Solved!!! Maybe someone would be interessed about this, just posting my experience
Lineageos installation instructions say the following: Warning: Before following these instructions please ensure that the device is currently using Android 9 firmware.
My Moto X4 XT1900-7 Reteu didn´t get the Android 9 update (still no idea why), it took me 3 days looking for a way to install the update manually with no success. Then I decided to try install lineage-19.1-20221123-nightly-payton-signed.zip anyway and it worked
The process was totally smooth and extremely fast, everything seems to be working perfectly, but I would like you to know that I didn´t install any Gapps, so I can´t confirm if this could create any problem.
Thank you to XDA and all the contributors, this is a fantastic source of info

Android One software version?

What software version is the Android One version on? Mine hasn't updated since I got it. Still on Android 7.1.1 version NZW26.4 security patch September.

I think early models shipped with August security patch, and quickly updated to September. September is the newest one. (Mine is an Android One on Project Fi)
Ok, I never used mine on Project Fi. I just put in my Verizon SIM. I didn't know if that would have stopped me from getting updates or not. Good to know that I'm on the same as a Project Fi SIMd phone.

Security updates?

I have the sm-t713 variant. Security update of August 2017.
Does Samsung send out regular updates for these Tabs?
I'm coming from a Nexus 7 with an Oreo ROM and was spoiled with monthly updates. TIA.

I came to this site looking to security updates, too. My Galaxy Tab S2 (wi-fi) , Android version 7.0, shows Android security patch level: April 1, 2017. I have tried "Download updates manually" and it says it is up to date. Is there a way to force a newer security update? Do I have to root and install a custom ROM to get this device secure?
Well, the LineageOS builds are up to date in Security Update matters... ^^

I have the 2016 S2 8.0 but my patch level is August 2017. Since the security patches are now at least 6 months behind, I have a feeling we won't be seeing any more. Is yours the 2015 version? Maybe that's why it's even further behind than mine. I will probably flash LineageOS 15.1 at some point although I don't need its features.
BTW, you don't have to root to flash a custom ROM. Just flash TWRP with Odin and then flash a new ROM and Gapps with TWRP. Rooting is optional on LineageOS.

One more question if I may? After installing LineageOS or other custom ROMS, will they get the regular monthly security patches?

LineageOS generally has weekly updates so every 4 weeks or so, the security patch gets updated (as long as the developer maintains the ROM.) Some of the less popular ROMs may not see updates as regularly.
Right now we are @ 05.01.18 as patch level, next one will follow soon
EDIT: Like... now: @ 05.02.18

Moto X4 Regular version updates

If Moto X4 Android One gets monthly updates after Oreo, Can I expect the same for regular Moto X4?
Funny you ask!
I just got a security update for Oreo:
OPWS27.1.1
Security patch level: January 1, 2018
Fi / Android one moto x4 here.
+1. I got the same today and with the same setup
But I think your replies do not answer the original question ?
For my Moto X4 there is still no Oreo update, and it's neither Android One, Project Fi nor Amazon. It's T-Mobile distributed, european one.

I have a pending update to 8.0 on my X4 (Moto flavour, the OG I guess) and the firmware it's 27.2 but only has the December security patches. Why your firware version is lower?
I have Moto X4 regular version for India. It's neither Android one nor Amazon or fi. Currently running Android Oreo 8.0. I asked whether this model get security updates for each month similar to that of Android one.

OPW27.1 = Android One ROM
OPW27.2 = Normal ROM

Official OTA Support

How long does Moto typically support their low end phones like this one?
Motorola today is Lenovo and i think they only support the flagship phone not our moto e4 / plus that on mid-low level
Normally they only give an update or two over about a year and that's it.
I just had an update this past weekend around 400MB with a build date of Dec 5, 2017. Build #NPR23.58-45, and security level patch of November 1, 2017. My phone is 1775. Still 7.1.1, but at least it's getting security updates.
Just had another update today.

Same here. I have yet to download it though. I will probably go do a complete back to stock and update staying unrooted till they stop.
Can someone please get me the latest retail ota zip? I made a ROM from the updated system, but I need the ota zip to make a partition updater.

Pie is the last one major update.... Because Moto assicure only 2 major update.. But we will receive for sure minor update, like security patch.. Also I am waiting the last one update ; after that I will root and test all the other rom... But for now I don't feel the necessity of root.

I agree, however I think there MAY be an update to Android Q as there was a variant of the Moto X4 (6/64) that was released with Android Oreo - 2 major updates would bring it to Android Q.
Edit: it was the 6/64 version that was released with Oreo, not the 4/64 that I originally stated. I have the 3/32 version.
