I'm still on Android 8.0 on my unlocked Moto X4 (XT1900-5). Is anybody else still 8.0 with this model?

Yes, I did not receive the OTA update to pie from Motorola yet (xt1900-7).
Glad to hear it, I was starting to think something was wrong with my handset.
Me too. We were left behind.
OTA server issue?
Are you in the UK? My moto x4 is stuck on the exact same update. XT1900-5, reteu software channel.
Motorola UK's website shows that the Pie update has been released when in actual fact, it has not been released at all. I have a feeling that there has been some error or issue with the OTA server causing no one here to recieve it.
A few people got it in December when it was released for all other variants, but that OTA clearly stopped soon after and now there have been no updates since October. It's a pretty poor performance from Motorola to be honest. I see no reason why they can't at least release security updates for Oreo.
Yep in the UK XT1900-5, unlocked.

With an unlocked bootloader, you usually will not get any OTA updates. If you can download them, then you cannot install them.

I meant unlocked, as in SIM free.
I've emailed Motorola, who told me they contacted their technical team. They are adamant that Pie will be released officially in the "near future" and they are aware there haven't been any updates since October. So, take that as you wish.
The Android 9.0 update has just appeared on my phone today.
Someone over on reddit mentioned that he wasn't getting it ota, but temporarily switched to a SIM from another carrier and it immediately showed up when he booted to the new SIM.
It seems that it now says on Motorola's UK software upgrade page, that the Moto X4 sim free began rolling 9.0 on 24th June 2019.

That would've been me. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence though because the update was released on the same day!
I had a similar experience. XT1900-5 version, running android 8.0.0 when I bought it. Didn't find any updates when I searched to try to update it to android 9 (pie) , I unlocked the bootloader, and later on decided to put a sim in it. After a few minutes of having the sim in, it found the update. The update downloads but when it's downloaded and in the "verifying" stage, it fails, probably because I unlocked the bootloader.
Advice to anyone with a locked bootloader - don't be like me, try putting a sim in the phone and get the update before doing anything else if you want Android 9.

Hello,
I still haven't got the 7.1.1 OTA update. Every month I keep getting the security updates for the 7.0 version. I checked my build version and compared it with the one mentioned on google's site and my version is NBD92D ( Mar 2017 ) which according to google is the build for ATT only. I am not using ATT , Infact I don't even have ATT in my country!
Does anybody else have this problem? Do I have to sideload the Image?
Yes, just sideload the image.

I do have the same problem, last night I received update and applied it, after that I've checked the version is also NBD92D(AT & T). My Nexus 6 is bought in HK but not HK official goods and sourced from Australia. However, I am not able to verify my Nexus 6 is not AT & T version and the only way is to trust the Google update program version check, luckily until now no problems notice on the phone.
In the meantime, I do also consider to update to 7.1.1 (N6F26U) but my phone does not popup any update on the system update check, and right now the N6F26U update is removed. Now I plan to wait and see any further action/update from Google on Nexus 6.
@mega23mac: The AT&T Nexus 6 has the Death Star logo on the back and has its service locked to that carrier. If you had one where you are, it wouldn't work at all if locked and if unlocked likely wouldn't get LTE. To verify the model, enter the bootloader. In your case you want to see model number XT1100 in the display.
With that out of the way, if you want the latest 7.1.1 on your device, go to Google's developer pages, download the latest OTA image, and flash it. Waiting for an OTA is pointless with a Nexus device.

That's the suspicious part, my Nexus 6 doesn't have the "Death Start" logo on the back, and I can get LTE, and I do see the model no. of XT1100 in the bootloader. But from the Settings > About phone > Build number, what i saw is NBD92D (the update is from OTA).
However, I am consider to flash the N6F26U as the Android Pay failure is not important to me as I use it not much.
Thanks, Strephon.

How will you flash that update? Google pulled the image immediately after they got to know about the android pay failure

Google seems just remove the link but not the file, u can find the link from this forum easily. In addition, now Google release the link again.
I bought Moto E4 Plus, XT1774, Verizon prepaid version from Target a week ago. Bought an unlock code from eBay to unlock it successfully and it is used on Tmobile, all good.
I also removed several Verizon apps via adb commands. But I read somewhere that if I do a factory reset, these Verizon apps will come back. I have not tried it.
A few days ago I saw a system update notice, says new version: NDRS26.58-33-2 is ready to install. My question is:
1, Should I install it just for the security update benefits? I do not know what's in this update, assuming security update.
2, Is there a way to delete this update that is already downloaded to my phone? There appears to be no option to delete this download and make it go away permanently. I will be nagged by this alert every week I suppose if I cannot disable it.
Thanks in advance for any tips ,
Not sure if it will cause issues with what you did. More than likely it will just install the new version, and re-add the apps. Unless you're rooted I don't think you can delete the update. It will keep asking you to install until you do.
Didn't think the E4 Plus would get any updates. I got the Sprint version, and haven't seen any updates yet.

It will continue to get system/security updates, but not OS upgrades. The system/security updates are based on carriers (unless you have an unlocked version then you'll get them from Moto when ready).

With having the sprint version, so far I haven't got any security updates. I have the June 1st security patch. I did flash the unlocked version ROM, so I wonder if I will get an update directly from Moto and not worry about Sprint delaying them.
Another thing I wonder is will Moto release an update soon to take care of krack vulnerability?
I have the Olympic Edition N950N and I see that there is a software update for the phone but it is not showing up in the OTA or with smart switch. If I were to use Odin to update my phone, would the Olympic boot screen and theme be deleted on my phone? Or should I just wait and see if I get the OTA at some point?
I would recommend that you wait for it to become available via OTA rather than install manually. As you might accidentally install the OS for a different variant onto your device and brick it.

Ok, but I saw this for the KTC model, hopefully I will get the OTA soon. If you have a N950N, did you get your update yet? I know the other carriers have also got thier July updates as well. And they look like big updates as well, samfirm said it was 3.5 GB, and I haven't had an update since may with the April security patch. But thanks for your help!

I have already received that update for my device. I have the LG telecom model of the N950N. You should have received yours by now. Guess it must take a little longer for the Olympic edition....

anyone would care to capture the OTA and make a twrp-flashable zip? I unlocked bootloader already and don't want to go all over fresh installation again
stuck on PPW29.98-66 reteu2
I recently bought the phone from Amazon.es. Based on IMEI my phone is for Cyprus which is kind a wierd.
My problem is that I'm stuck on PPW29.98-66 with January security patch and don't get update through OTA.
LMSA app does not update the phone even though it found this update.
XT1965-3_LAKE_RETEU_9.0_PPW29.98-111_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
After finishing the update I'm still on the old firmware.
On lolinet I found firmwares for RETEU software channel only.
Is it possible to flash RETEU firmware on RETEU2 phone via RSDlite 6.2.4 without unlocking bootloader or harming the phone causing irreversible issues like hard brick, google pay malfunction, radio not working etc.?

Same problem here
Use latest LMSA application. It has been updated recently and will update your phone to the latest firmware.
Has anyone actually received the update to ATK1? I was on ATJ5 with the October update however I saw the ATJ1 in Frija. The phone was saying I was up to date so I am manually flashing it. I am just curious if my phone was going to get the update or not as I am running a SIM unlocked ATT device on the unlocked firmware.
I received the ATK1 update OTA last week. I'm on ATT with a factory unlocked phone.

ditto for me.
Recieved the update on the 24th. Same date as the previous month's update. Both times I had to manually check for updates before it showed up. On Mint with a factory unlocked.
I'm USA unlocked on T-Mobile and was tired of waiting for the update. They are always last to push it. So I used the guide that was posted on this forum on how to change your CSC to check for and download the update. Worked perfect. Had the new update installed in like 5 minutes.
