Moto Z dual sim update, android 7 problems - Moto Z Questions & Answers

Hello,
first i'm sorry for my bad english.
I have moto z dual sim, with android 6.0.1, unlocked bootloader and rooted. I have problems updating to Nougat.
Can you tell me please how to update, step by step. Do i have to lock my bootloader again? .
I have reflashed my phone without rooting it, but after downloading the update, i received again error and cant update
Please help me.

Are you using stock or custom recovery?
If it is stock recovery I got an update file that works but it is RETBR for the XT1650-03

I'm using stock :/
can you tell me how to lock my bootloader?

You can try to use the update file via recovery. Because you use a stock, you can use the official OTA file.

Unlocking Bootloader in Moto E running lollipop soak test

I am having moto e 1st gen running lollipop 5.0.2 soak test. And yes its damn slow and laggy. I like to install custom roms. But the problem is that my boot loader is locked. I am just wondering ,if I follow the guide that people used to unlock boot loader when they were in kitkat ,ll help me to unlock bootloader with phone running lollipop.
I can simply get back to 4.4.4. and unlock from there but I saw many warnings regarding downgrading from lollipop to kitkat. And also the guides which helps to downgrade ,are contradiction to each other as one guide includes commands for got,motoboot and logo but the other doesn't include that saying it ll hard brick.
I am really confused abt that.
Any help abt boot loader unlocking with lollipop soak test would be welcome.
Thanks.
I am from India , and xt1022 is the only model here in India I believe.

Bootloader unlocking has nothing to do with system version(lollipop or kitkat) and it is permanent. If you unlocked the bootloader while you were in kitkat it is unlocked forever(unless you go to service centre and replace the motherboard) ,whether you update your rom to soak test or any custom lollipop rom. The guide for unlocking bootloader is same regardless of your system version. If you ever decide to downgrade to kikat ,make sure to downgrade to 4.4.4 If you downgrade to 4.4.2 you may brick your device
And follow this guide to downgrade http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/development/downgrade-5-0-x-to-4-4-4-stock-firmware-t3031073

First of all,thanks for replying.
And now my doubt is cleared abt bootloader.
So after bootloader unlocking, I have to root and then flash custom recovery to have custom rom with twrp recovery. ,right ?
Am I missing anything here ?
Will my phone be stuck in bootloop after unlocking boot loader,cos it happens normally in some phones, ?

1)unlock bootloader-->2)flash twrp recovery--->3)*may require* to flash SuperSu to root--->4)Flash custom rom
3rd step may not be required but do it just to be safe.

New to LG SmartPhones World. Got my LG V10. Want to root it. Please help me...

I got my first ever LG phone. its LG V10. I dont know how to root it. Please all of you experts, I request you people to englighten me the Rooting process for my V10 smartphone. Currently my phone has Lollipop 5.1.1 with build number LMY47V and with Kernel Version 3.10.49. I want to root my phone with the latest android 6.1 lollipop ROM for LG V10. Thank you all.
First of all. Upgrade your Firmware to Android 6.0 by going into Settings-> General -> About Phone-> Update -> Software Update.
You don't have to root to upgrade to Android M.
But still if you want to root your phone.
First of all unlock unlock bootloader of your LG-V10. using the following link to the official guide from LG. (Enable USB debugging and OEM unlock) (This is only for H960A)
https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev
Once unlocked.
Install TWRP.
Put SuperSU in your phone and flash it using TWRP.. That's it.
If its your first time. Then use the following guide. It has all the details.

if they have the H960A wich have bootloader unlockable (when updated to Marshmallow) they can root it for sure!
First update to Marshmallow if you have H960A and then unlock your bootloader follow LG website to instructions and then search here for TWRP and then flash SuperSU zip file.
- and the last version of V10 H960A is 6.0 not 6.0.1.

I was having lollipop 5.1.1 for GCC countries like UAE/KSA and due to that reason my phone was not going into bootloader/fastboot mode. But then I upgraded to MarshMallow European version, my phone now can go into bootloader mode and all those steps can be done to unlock my bootloader. Any idea what should I do next after unlocking my bootloader while running MM EU version for the ROOT?:silly::crying:
Hi,
if you have indeed unlocked your bootloader what you should do is the following:
1. install custom recvovery
2. flash SuperSu.
You find a step-by-step guide in this thread (first post).

Unlock officially man, it's the only way to avoid this in the future.
I unlocked unofficially and I have resurrectionrom since 6 months running... I updated to latest version 20170611 by flashing CM14.1_Firmware_kate_12.04.2017.zip and after that the latest ROM zip. I have the ROM running perfectly fine... So why should I flashed stock developer ROM and unlock officially?

bootloader question

I gather that it is necessary to unlock the bootloader in order to root - is this possible to do on the Verizon version? If so, could someone point me towards a tutorial, as I have only found posts on rooting, not unlocking the bootloader.
To date, it's not.
Thanks.
So then it is not possible to root the Verizon version?
[ASK] bootloader version
hai guys, need info of moto z xt1650-03.
i've moto z 7.1.1 and BL 91.08.
i've already tried to reflash with version 6, but i've got the error for downgrade issue.
so i flash it back to its original.
so much work to do this, coz i've been very hard bricked for downgrading it.
the question is, is it possible to downgrade BL 91.08 to other version ?
i think that if i can downgrade it, it can flash the old version like MM or N 7.0
many thanks.

I don't think bootloader can be downgraded on any devive beside nexus.

Unlock BL and keep the official ROM.

Can I unlock bootloader, flash twrp but keep the original ROM?
I want to root the phone too, but keep the original ROM.
Will I receive OTA after that?
Thanks in advance.
you can unlock and have twrp and root ofc. but you won't receive ota updates anymore. There is a guide for both having magisk and receiving OTAs but it did not work for me. Anyway I am using pixel xp rom and I like it. Will not use stock anymore
