Android Pie OTA - Motorola One Power Guides, News, & Discussion

Motorola is being unbearably slow about their Pie rollout, so here we go.
Do NOT try to downgrade back to Oreo if you've already taken the update.
If you haven't updated yet, please be sure that you will not want to return back to Oreo once you've used the guide below.
Thanks @smyaknti for the tip.
Prerequisites:
1. 100% Stock ROM with no system modifications of any kind.
2. This file is only for the Indian variant of the Motorola One Power.
3. You should already have the September security patch update installed on your device.
Please don't install this over the August security patch update.

1. Download from link and move it to root of your internal storage(not in any folder like Downloads etc). Put it outside all folders.
2. Go to Settings>Apps&notifications>Show all apps>3dot menu(top right of the screen)>show system apps
3. Find Motorola Update Services and give it storage permission.
4. Go to Updates screen and check for update. It will show up. Install as any normal OTA. Enjoy Pie!
I've installed Pie on my own device using the same file and the same method. So it's tested by me.
For users who are currently using Magisk to root their devices, this method is not for you. You'll have to return back to full stock using fastboot images.

What about future updates??

Hey @reddevil08, would you believe it?
They banned you from the official Moto One Power forum for providing people with the official Indian OTA.
Look at the screenshot. Really disappointed with Lenovo and Motorola.

I agree. I'm just waiting for the warranty to expire so that I can move to a custom ROM like LineageOS.

Stupid admins on that forum. Merging threads that have no relation to each other just to hide bugs in Moto's software.
People on OnePlus' forum share ota links freely and no one complains.
They banned me for distrubiting pirated software :laugh: If it wasn't the official OTA file, it wouldn't have installed from within the system and with a locked bootloader. It's gonna look pretty stupid when that same firmware is distributed few days later :laugh:

Exactly ?
That's why OnePlus is doing so well as a company. It works with the community and not against it.

The path they are on, they gonna die pretty soon. Lenovo is just using Moto's brand to sell a few devices. People are gonna realise soon that they are buying poor devices from Lenovo.

Haha, yeah.
I previously had a Moto X and you might not believe, I had to get the motherboard replaced 4 times under warranty. So I think keeping the warranty intact is the way to go because even Motorola's hardware can't be trusted.

The hardware kept failing randomly so I had to get in touch with some superiors at the company who helped me get my replacement motherboards in time. But the entire process was still a pain to go through.

ZV7 Discussion

No, ZV7 is not out yet. But it is in development as indicated by the new RDF.
http://device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS991-SPRINT/LS991ZV7.rdf
Now I checked a few days ago and this wasn't here. It's also noteworthy that with the H815 getting 6.0 this might be what's coming our way. We saw something similar when ZV8 came out for the G3, it was a different version on the RDF. I'll try and poke the bear, see what I can find out.
In the meantime let the speculation begin!
I wouldn't hold my breath for M --YET-- it's way to soon. Besides inside the rdf file it says 5.1. Probably just additional security updates, and perhaps some additional enhancements like we had with ZV5 & ZV6. I do like your speculation though. ?

With M out already for the global version and it supposedly out in short order afterwards for US... Well, stranger thing have happened.
I just hope the exploits we use to DD the custom ROMs doesn't get patched with 5.1 update, could be a prep for M complete with security fixes. If so I may pass on the update and or M. Just my opinion only time will tell....
OK. G3 is now showing an update ALSO in the works. And what two devices are supposed to get M first for LG?
If that's not M it's a fix that affects them both... Stagefright's already patched so not sure what other big ones are out there.

I probably will too. If you guys haven't heard M will need you to flash a custom boot.img/kernel for root, which I imagine would almost definitely throw a secure boot error for us.

I second that. But, you know, we will always have root. I can't think of a single device that cannot be rooted... even my wifes cricket phone can be rooted and there isn't any forum or development for it.

That might be true. But there are plenty of devices that have never been rooted.
And if you root some new devices on Verizon or AT&T they will boot you off the network.

Ohhhh I didn't look at the baseband version.. Yeah it will brick your device. At this point you should take what I say with a grain of salt when I say you can't root lollipop and you should have better luck sticking to lollipop and waiting for someone to find a vulnerability in marshmallow.
Looks like that rooting is gonna have to wait a bit longer
Speaking of... Long shot here, but has anyone started looking for a vulnerability to exploit?

Doesn't apply to this situation.
From first link:
"(Caution! Do not flash if you have taken the OC4, OF2, or OF3 ota updates) and root with TowelRoot, before continuing with the above process."
TowelRoot doesn't work here.
Second link:
"Make sure your AT&T Galaxy S5 is 100% stock Android 4.4.4 KitKat firmware."
So no.

Update to lastest ota before converting to stock

Hi, my blu arrived today and i'm already planing on converting to stock. I read that the ota ver 6.4 enables some LTE bands... i probably won't ever use them, but its an adition so... i want to know if i can flash 6.5 (this is the lastest right now) and then flash stock... im affraid i might flash the amazon ota and loose the ability to go back to stock.. is it safe?

Not exactly sure what your asking??
I don't think that you understand the process. Removing the ads means reflashing the entire phone, so any updates that were installed would no longer be there as the images used to reflash do not include any updates.
There was one update that only the amazon version got to make it harder to disable the ads. Both versions of the phone got a July security update pushed but this only works on completely unmodified phones.
The much awaited band 12 update has NOT been released.
Either your source of information is suspect or you are not yet understanding the information. Read carefully in THIS forum to learn what's going on with this phone.

The non prime has not yet received any OTA, only the Prime variant. Non prime still on June security
That's not true. My phone is converted to non-Prime edition and I WAS offered the July security updates. I could not install them because I have twrp, root, and xposed but I was told that an update was available for the non-amazon version. The amazon version of the phone has had TWO updates - the first one to stop turning off the ad server and the second one with the July security updates.

Hmm..
That is what I got after I tried applying the update, just to see what would happen - I knew it wouldn't work with root, twrp, etc. but hoped that I would be able to find the downloaded update file on the phone somewhere. Other people with unmodified phones have reported receiving it. Check near the end of the General Discussion thread - the one that's over 100 pages long.

Your the only one reporting it, that I can find. But hey if they released it great. But the only downloads for OTAs I can find are for the prime. If anyone has an OTA for non prime that updates it from 1.2 please post a link. @ColtonDRG is thinking of merging the July security updates to OEM, but if it's already been released via OTA, someone let him know!! I'm not trying to argue with you, it's just people are getting confused and frustrated already with the different flash methods etc... Don't get me wrong, I would be super stoked if BLU actually supported the non subsidized non prime variant.

Yes, Colton there was an ota update yesterday. But currently it says "Root has been detected, can not update device". This may be the 4G LTE Update.

Thats just where i modified the build.prop to match model # OTA version check is still R0011UU for OTA updates, but earlier today, i completely reverted to oem stock with factory reset, still no OTA, my OCD made me do it, just to confirm OTAs lol, spent an hour restoring my phone afterwards
Yay, someone else finally got it! No, jloh1963, it wasn't the anticipated band 12 voLTE update, it's just the July security updates. But no one can install it unless they are completely stock and few in this forum probably are.
Colton, it did attempt to apply the update after downloading it and prompting me and, as expected, the update failed. That's why I made that post a week or so ago asking where I might find the failed update. I wanted to save it. But I did a search on the phone and couldn't find anything that looked like it.

Yay, someone else finally got it! No, jloh1963, it wasn't the anticipated band 12 voLTE update, it's just the July security updates. But no one can install it unless they are completely stock and few in this forum probably are.
Colton, it did attempt to apply the update after downloading it and prompting me and, as expected, the update failed. That's why I made that post a week or so ago asking where I might find the failed update. I wanted to save it. But I did a search on the phone and couldn't find anything that looked like it.

Well that's definitely good news, I wonder why I didn't pick it up earlier today, when i reverted to stock?? I'll roll back again and let it sit all day, hopefully I pick it up!! Maybe BLU is learning a thing or two about customer service!!

It is entirely possible that this FOTA program actually does know how to do gradual rollout like most other programs. I assume that's what's going on here.

I understand. Does anyone know how to capture OTA URLs? If so, can you PLEASE look for the update and capture the URL before applying it?

No, as long as the system, boot image, and recovery aren't altered. Re-run the conversion to make sure if you have any doubts

Yeah I did earlier today, reran conversion via spft and reset/wipe to factory. Ran update check but nothing, so I rooted/installed TWRP and restored my current config. I'll reset and let it sit for a day or two, perhaps its a gradual rollout. Will do my best to grab URL

He said that you were an idiot because bootloader 8 won't allow for any root or install any custom stock firmware so he was kinda angry that you would share a firmware with bootloader 8

it's people's right say whatever they want to, but Please with respect, I won't admit the language assaulting.

He did go waay over bored and I'm glad you didn't respond with a mean comment. I accidentally updated to bootloader 7 which took away root on my sprint so updating to 8 wouldn't change anything.

OMG Nooooo you have unlocked bootloader, don't even think about it
I think you should add a note saying "this will update your bootloader version to 8 and won't allow you anymore to root or install twrp, there is no comeback also" or similar

I am waiting for websites like easy firmware to release an eng boot file or for g935r7 or r4 to release a new firmware that on bootloader 8 since they always come out with eng boot. G935r7 has English boot for bootloader 7

Don't come here with all of that. We have been speaking about this stuff for a few months now. Dont blame it on me or the person who made this thread. Its technically you fault for updating if you did.

Dude I accept your apology but next time you are angry, dont try to be so mean about it. When he posted this he probably didnt know about the not rooting thing and maybe there are people who dont root in the first place and just want to update to the latest security patch. Just dont be aggressive next time. You could get banned for cussing btw.
Thats cool this is posted just to let everyone know the update is here. However, if you care at all about root do not flash this,,,you will lose root forever and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Why Samsung decided to lock down a three year old phone is beyond me??
I guess it's at least partially positive I went from the sprint to the u variant before my stupid self let everything else update lol.
