Those who are using Indian soak test before and now using official release in India.... Do you notice any changes?
Sent from my XT1068/69 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Soak Testers didn't get the final OTA and will not get it. Reason is, the final OTA rolled out today is the same one soak testers got. They just got it a little early. You can see in the screenshots that everything under About Phone is same in soak test version and final version.
So does this in theory then mean that those of us who installed the captured soak test from the other thread will not need to use any other captures in the future and be able to use the ota update just fine without any chances of bricks etc

Cool so we won't have any worries about our phones bricking if we do an ota as is then I guess? Then that puts me at ease of mind.

I mean we'll be able to download ota's without worries of getting our phones bricked because of it being from soak. I remember reading the other day someone was talking about how if we want to be able to use ota we'd have to use a stable capture first in order to be able to use ota. It seems that won't be an issue though since soak and stable are the same with just different release dates so we shouldn't have to worry about that right? Sorry for being silly here. I'm not exactly an ape man when it comes to tech but I'm not feeling the need to fiddle around with roms and bootloaders on this phone when I shouldn't really need to

Well, it was me who said that the other day. That time the official update hadn't rolled out and we thought it would be a newer system version. But, now that it's released; we now know that it is the exact same OTA, so no problems for future updates either. It's like we never installed soak.

Yea i suspected something like that was going on when I saw that new thread about the stable and people were saying everything's exactly the same but just wanted some sort of confirmation. Now the only thing that I don't know if it'll affect anything in the future is that my build number on 4.4.4 was kxb now it's lxb (unless k stands for kitkat and l for lolipop lol. dunno) but i don't think it would be a problem since the system version has only the numbers changed and everything else is as it was on kitkat. Seems like the indian release works on european xt1068's as well contrary to what I read some people were saying but I guess it depends on some things...

Funny, but you're right. The Build number on KitKat was "KXB21.85-23" on mine, but now it's "LXB22.46-28".

Well that pretty much solved all questions I had regarding lolipop on my moto g. Now the only mystery that remains is if the indian update works just fine when you install it on a eu moto g (well you need to manually install from recovery doe doesn't detect it in the ota screen) why is the eu xt1068's update nowhere to be talked about. All I've seen is india brazil and so on but eu is so silent that even babies can sleep

That´s a mystery for sure!
The only difference between the indian and the european XT1068 is the fact, that the indian version has 16 gb of memory,european model has 8gb.
But there must be something more that differs! In europe even a soaktest is rumored,surveys were sent,so everthing looks like we have to wait in europe for a few more days/weeks.
But why? In another thread I considered that Motorola is afraid of being taken to court or something by european users if something doesn´t work right. European laws are tough. Isn´t that a bit far out?
Or are there any technical differences between these models which are barely known?

Aside from the ram I highly doubt there's any real difference since when I got mine in the first few days of fiddling around it had the hindi, korean and pinyin keyboards which i disabled so I don't think that would be the case....I mean why would most eu phones need these inputs from the get go. As far as laws go I can't really see much reasoning there either since it's a 130-50eu phone so they can't really have much to complain and unless it somehow magically bricks the device I doubt there would be many if any at all issues...Dunno doe. I'm not motorola so i have no idea what's going on through their heads but it's just kinda silly to me considering that everything's running fine on mine at least without any factory resets or anything....could be just me doe. On another note I think one of my little gripes about lollipop is that it doesn't hide the signal bar for my secondary sim when it's inactive and just shows it. Is this just for me or does everyone have that cuz I didn't pay attention to that on screenshots the last few days
Did some one backed up latest Indian Lollipop rolled on 23 Jan in TWRP in recovery mode and uploaded somewhere? Please share.

The 14th Jan one does have 1032.3105.
EDIT: Looking at a screenshot in that thread, it doesn't have the above mentioned version.
Weird though, I have installed the same version, but using a .zip captured by one soak tester. How could the version be different, when the update is same?

Yes, weird but there is reason. MD5 of old link and new capture matched perfect. Update in link by you and new both are same. Looks like Motorola fooled everyone and rolled same update again.
Anyways! Can anyone share TWRP backup of this version?
some apps bugs ..
Some apps like fifa 15 ut and some others are not supported for locked device and while installing from play store it showed error 505.
Stop making such threads...use the search option instead.
Hey all, I just used my invite to buy a oneplus 2, has anyone else ordered one? how long does it take to arrive?
also is there an ETA on my shareable invites? I have googled around but I cant find anything as of yet.

@Jonnyn93 - Congratulations. Once you receive your unit and have updated to the latest version of OxygenOS. Can you please flash TWRP, wipe, then create a backup zip and post a link to it here. Those of us with the Chinese handset flashed with OxygenOS are stuck on the pre-release firmware (OnePlus2Oxygen_14_OTA_002_all_1507251956).
Oneplus have some info on shipping on their website. Not sure if this applies to the Oneplus 2 though.

heh, no. There was a huge OTA update last week which fixed a lot of bugs and improved performance, battery life and the finger print reader. Check out this video for the build no (150807):

It was online even before the OPT was released in China (4th of August). I have tried the HydrogenOS OTA update. It has quite a few bug fixes and improvements. It's a shame that HydrogenOS is so awful.

With all the devices out there someone should have uploaded the new one? Actually come to think of it why haven't OP uploaded the factory image yet?
Slightly miffed the pre-release can't be OTA'd

I'm not sure. That is a good question. I was just talking with someone who has an international OPT and they have the same build no. So they might not have rolled it out to everyone yet. Which means there is hope. Some of the reviewers definitely got the OTA though as they wrote about it in their reviews. One I read was pissed as they turned down the OTA to download it later, but it never came again and checking for updates manually didn't work.

Edit: MOB30I includes new bootloader.
Edit 2: Two new images posted today. MMB30G also. Not a clue as to why...
Looks like they also posted MMB30G. Any idea in the difference between the two?

Yup, It's my understanding that MOB contains a new radio vs MMB. They will be updating MMB until all the carriers get around to approving the new radio. Because I have an at&t sim dropped in my nexus 6, it will most likely OTA to MMB30G(with May security updates). This knowing at&t never gets in a hurry when it comes to approvals.

There's this: http://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-05-01.html
https://source.android.com/source/build-numbers.html
MOB30D android-6.0.1_r30 Marshmallow Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7 (flo/deb), Nexus 9 (volantis/volantisg), Nexus Player, and Android One
MMB29X android-6.0.1_r20 Marshmallow Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7 (deb), Nexus 9 (volantisg)
its probably the same thing. consolidation.
So MOBxxx is newer than MMBxxx, because of r30 against r20?
But, why there are two updates, and not only MOBxxx?

Motorola should offer the update on her server. Google do this for her pixel phones, too. So what? There is the possibility to update over adb sideload, but no official zip files to update. But, this new update is not include 07/2017 security patch. So, do we really need this? We should wait for the next full update, stable release. That should be save to sideload, right? Full is the best.

That's not the latest. Branding software can not be updated to latest 7.1.1, or? Just retail can be flashed to soak test.
Guys I just noticed my phone downloading the software update. When I click on it it doesn't give my any info of what it is. As soon as it finishes the download I'll followup.
Does anyone know if LG pushed out an update for unlocked v20 and if so is it Oreo or just 7.1.1
I hope it's Oreo ?
But honestly I hope it's a good functioning update.
LG has a lot to improve.
I'll followup.
Ok so that update is the security update only.
Not any os update as I hoped....?, Not even 7.1.1
LG thank you ... I have made up my mind.
.... Don't think I'll be sticking with LG for my next phone. ?
What model, and what is the version number now?

I'm with you on that. Sent an email to LG a few weeks ago stating just that. It took them a whole year for a security update on my US996.

If I'm going to get a phone that isn't well supported for updates but has true functionality, I'll stick with Galaxy note series ....
Google pixel unless they produce a note type stylus I'll pass although I did think about it.
Pixel maybe... Don't know. Let's see if it's discounted.
I think HTC is the only manufacture that started to be good with updates with their later flagship phones. I would even consider HTC before I consider LG again for phones.
Are LG V20 US996 unlocked phones still rootable after the US99610n update?
Would someone who has aleady accepted the newest update be so kind as to check and post the current ARB on their phone?

1. Security update to one of the November patch sets.
2. This is the us996 unlocked that can be bootloader unlocked through LGs website and never needed dirtycow. AFAIK LGs unlocking processes should work fine. If for whatever reason you wanted to use dirtycow anyway its still possible to revert to the previous version since they didn't increment arb.

Hi,
In particular, I wanted to know if this update includes fixes for the KRACK and blueborne vulnerabilities. Do you know where I could find a changelog?
Also, if I do the OTA update do you know if it's going to wipe out TWRP? If so, I might what to wait for a zip file that I can install with TWRP from dimm0k or McNutnut:

it includes those fixes since its at Nov 6 security patch ( Nov 6 exactly has the KRACK fix, while blueborne was fixed in the September patch). I expect taking the ota will wipe twrp however.
