System Update today. Question!

I got my phone today, had to change delivery date because I wasn't home on the 12th. There was a system update that improves call quality or something. So, big question. Did anyone who installed stock Moto firmware without the Amazon bloat still get the update? If so, what was the outcome? Thanks. :good:

I don't think there was a system update for the US model today.

I got it (and did it because I know better, but wanted the improved call quality...).
Anyway...

Yeah, U.S. user here. Got it. Wasn't lying Thanks for the screenshot yo.

Thanks...It looks like the build and kernel changed but the baseband remained the same. I'll be curious to see if anyone that flashed over the original Amazon rom gets it.

I haven't been able to receive the update. Tried searching both when my bootloader was locked running Amazon bloat OS, and unlocked running almost-stock OS.

I imagine it's going to trickle out over time. Previous OTA's have done that. Also, I went ahead and signed up for Motorola's feedback program. I was a soak on tester on two previous phones and hopefully I'll get chosen on this one. Being on the odd roms doesn't matter according to the Motorola engineer I talked to. He said they also push the soaks out to the Consumer Cellular, Straight Talk, etc specific roms just like they do for all Moto roms since they need to be tested like any other rom. A buddy of mine actually got a Consumer Cellular soak rom on his AT&T phone while soak testing.

I flashed my to stock oem, no update yet.

Thanks for the responses. I haven't done anything to my phone yet....wanted to be certain of some things first lol. Honestly, the amazon ads aren't bothering me like I thought they would. It's a great phone. I'm liking it. But I've had my nexus 5 for a long time, so almost anything is better haha. The quick charge 3.0 is awesome. I am just wondering if the Amazon bloat or ads do hinder the battery life?

Any update on extracting the full bloat Amazon ROM yet for those that want to go back to full Amazon stock?

File is there to add the bloat back.

Been looking...Is this latest version posted anywhere?

Sorry for the noob question. Does getting an OTA depend on a sim being in the phone or not? My amazon moto g4 is a secondary phone and mostly just on wifi.

Rootjunky is working on a script to flash back to the Amazon firmware using the oem.img from my Amazon Moto G4
---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------
He says that you'll need an unlocked bootloader to flash the oem.img but after you flash it you will be able to take ota updates.

Have you been on the Motorola forums? There's a big thread over there the mods are working on about that. Motorola says they're supposed to work and Verizon says the G4 isn't approved yet. I haven't followed it completely but I thought I saw where some people got their phone activated and some still couldn't.

read post 3 it will be help full http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4/development/moto-g-4th-gen-how-to-remove-amazon-t3416587

Another probably noob question: it says the update cannot be removed. I allowed Samsung to update my note 2 and then couldn't ever get it to go back. I don't want Lenovo/Amazon to pull the same fast one on me.

If I'm reading your question right then no it cant be removed but you can flash the full rom and go back.

Stock ROM for XT1625 US retail version

Hi,
I was rooting my Moto G4 XT1625 US retail version (non-Amazon version) but getting stuck at boot. So, I said, what the heck, I went on to flash CM13 on it. That works but I found battery life to be worse, and so I would like to try to go back to stock (with root of course).
However, I'm having trouble figuring out which is the correct stock ROM from file factory. I'm not sure what is the naming convention, and there doesn't seem to be any easy way to search on file factory. Currently, there are 26 pages with a total of 774 ROMs there.
Thanks.

Hello, in case you haven't resolved your problem yet here is what I did to return my phone to stock. I have the same model, XT1625 (not Amazon). Download this file http://www.filefactory.com/file/28u...PJ24.139-49_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

Thank you very much. I managed to restore to stock from a Nandroid backup, but I will download this and keep it as a backup in case I need it in the future.
Still, I wonder about the naming convention of the files. It will make searching in the future a lot easier if we know how they are named.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if you can flash the normal xt1625 retail rom on a boot loader unlocked Amazon xt1625?

I did flash an older retail room and it worked but when I tried a later rom it bricked the phone. I had to send it in and Motorola reflashed it with the latest retail rom.

It was never unlocked, I missed the window and waited too late to get my unlock code. My wife needed a phone so I gave her this phone and picked up another non amazon G4 for myself. At least it now has a non-Amazon rom on it and is on the retus update channel instead of AMZ. Maybe I got lucky and they flashed the wrong rom on it but I'm not complaining.

Does anyone have link to stock firmware of XT1625 Amazon Ad variant?
I unlocked the bootloader and tried all the techniques on this forum to remove ads. All methods failed with "Unauthorized software installed" message at boot.
The only method worked was installing APK and running it.
I tried downloading and flashing ATHENE_AMZ_MPJ24.139-64_65_cid50_amz from Motorola website but it does not have motoboot.img as mentioned in the steps.
I would like to re-lock the bootloader but need a stock firmware to do that. Could someone please provide it?

does anyone have this file posted someone else so i don't have to wait 5 hours for it to download. not paying for this.

Quick question for those that have flashed NPJ25.93-14, did they fix the issues with it? Play store downloads? Battery drain? Ghost touches? Camera problems? Music playback? And notifications sound?... It's the only reason I've not flashed the aforementioned ROM... I'm curious.
These were problems first reported when the ROM was released in December. Thanks.

The following bugs are known to be fixed -
2G mode in Mobile Networks (Wasn't there after Marshmallow)
Notification Volume (Was low after Marshmallow)
UI Lags (Animations weren't very smooth after last month's Nougat update)
Bluetooth Connection Time (Used to take much longer in the previous build)

In that case I will continue to wait before I upgrade. I have Nougat on my Moto G3, and I like it, but the battery issues(both charging/discharging) are no es bueno. Some people have reported that rebooting into safe mode multiple times, helps with certain issues. YMMV.

XT1641 Nougat Update

I buy a moto G 4 Plus 2 Sims and 2Gb of RAM with firmware MPJ24.139-23.1. But in some posts​ I read that to update to nougat I need the firmware 139.63 but my device says I'm updated. Why?
Another question: If I install TWRP can accept an OTA?

If that's the original, unmodified rom that came from the factory, then you should eventually get an ota.

No, we haven't received any update at all, I have the phone since August and nothing in all of this time. It's so annoying. It's like Lenovo doesn't care at all about us. I'm honestly tired of being treated like a less valuable customer just because of our region :/

I would wait. It hasn't been released for this area yet and if you manual upgrade a soak you may never get the ota. From what I've seen I'd rather Moto wait and give us a more stable release than what's been released so far. I'm not sure why everyone is in such a hurry, we will get it and it will be more stable.

I have a mexican XT1641 device, I'm actually running the XT1643 N latest update with no problems. When the official XT1641 update rolls out, I will reupdate with that one to recover my original bootloader.

That depends on what you want to do. Read through the guides and don't do anything rash or stupid. There are several good custom ROM's available, or you can install TWRP alone and just flash a custom kernel.

AT&T K10 receiving update

So at the time of this post, my phone is currently downloading a 1215.98 MB update. Comsidering my last update was only 300 MB, I assume this is nougat. My phone is a k425. I'LL report back once the download is done (which might be a bit; all this weather is killing our internet)

And here's a screenshot for those who are skeptical.

Well the updates almost done; ill report back once I've installed it

Wow. We are waiting for all other models too.

I can also confirm this but with one issue if you use the att go phone version you will not be able to update for a few days as there putting priority on people that have this phone and are under contract. You can work around this by finding a friend and use his sim card as long as there a contract att member to get the update on your phone then switch back after the update. This is only for a few days as the people that are under contract get it first. Sigh

Nobody here knows when or even will k430dsy get nougat, because LG won't say anything.

MetroPCS got it, too.

Battery life is notebly worse after install; after clearing cache about a week or two after install helped it improve

AT&T your update process really bad finally after a month and a half They really need to stop all this release in batches crap with updating it easy just allow people with a valid sim to download the update.
