[Can I flash update firmware to a newer version in one go?] - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What i mean is, my current phone is 5.1.1. Can I flash firmware it all the way up to 6.0.1? Or do i need to do it version by version?

If your device got a full firmware for 6.0.1 then flash it, nothing to worry about it.
BTW, which phone?

I falshed using this >

It worked and fixed my phone as well with the logo looping.
Do you know, is there any methods at the moment to root my phone? I can't find it anywhere.

No idea about that.
Yes you could check AT & T Note 5 forum, if there's methods available then follow it and root your phone, otherwise stick with unrooted stock.

We're you previously on lollipop?
Same question, were you on Lolipop and can I use this to downgrade?
No I wasn´t on Lollipop. I just reinstalled all from scratch in order to test it for you. IDK if you can downgrade. You should try. Its an official firm.
Has anyone downgraded with this from lollipop ?
Can some one share the ota for lolli? I live in mexico and cant update my alpha.

What would happen if I try to downgrade with ODIN and it doesn't work? Would it brick or would nothing happen?
I downgraded from 5.0.2 using this firmware earlier today. It does definitely work. Too bad there's still not a root method and it looks like pitpin gave up on his.
Is it pre unlocked or do we have to get the phone unlocked again ? I am currently on unlocked lollipop.
Sim unlock has nothing to do with ROM files. The unlocked or locked status won't change.

i already did that but nothing happen , and everytime i was stucked on a bootloop i flash again the 6.0.1 rom in order to remove the bootloop
Have you tried a Rom with same number in it as original (file name 9th position states "2' or "3", etc and probably is the same as the error device number)?

You can only downgrade if you have unlocked bootloader and your fw is 3xxxx or lower... (the first few mm builds)

Well i personally haven't managed to downgrade my device and im on 3xxx. There are few reports on here that once you flash 4xxx you cannot go back. Infact im yet to find somebody who has succesfully downgraded on here.

Android 7 OTA after recovery flash

Hello,
I have the following phone:
Moto Z
XT1650-03
RETEU
Android 6.0.1 MPL24.246-45
When I got the phone I only unlocked the bootloader en flashed TWRP recovery.
Now the Android 7 OTA update is released. I got the popup for de OTA update but it wasn't able to install the update because of TWRP Recovery.
After that I flashed the recovery with a stock recovery from the stock Android 6.0.1 MPL24.246-17 ROM, found in a Moto Z official/stock ROM forum here on XDA. After that I downloaded the OTA update again on my Moto Z, it starts with installing the update, then it restarts in recovery, it seems work fine when I see the stock recovery screen with installing the update, but after a few minutes I get an "Error!" with the "Android man with open belly" symbol. Luckily the phone stil boots and is working fine.
What's going wrong with the OTA update? Mismatch between the rom (MPL24.246-45) and recovery (MPL24.246-17) version?
My goal is to get stock Android 7 on my Moto Z. Who can tell me what's the best step for me to achieve this? Should I try another recovery to get the OTA update working?
Thank you!
Same happened to me when i tried updating the new 540mb update over Nougat. I think it happened because of the kernel (disabling force encryption), not sure :/

Ok, thank you for your answer. But I did not do anything with encryption... And how did you solve this, are you able to install that update now?
I gave my phone to the service center today and told them that it happened after the OTA update. I have my fingers crossed that they don't find out about the unlocked bootloader before fixing it.

Possible. Flash stock recovery from Rogers firmware which is a -45 subrelease.
Anyway I wouldn't upgrade by OTA...

Ok, I already flashed de stock .45 Recovery from Rogers.
My plan is the following:
- Reset device to factory defaults
- Download the OTA update to the device, just how it's meant to be
- See if it wil update successfully now
Or what can you recommend me to get to fully stock Nougat? This one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/android-nougat-moto-z-versions-t3506342
Or wait and stay on Android 6.0.1 till there is more information/ROM's/updates about this device? I know something about flashing/ROM's (before I had a OnePlus One with Cyanogen) but not as much as you guys do and I don't want to brick my device

Nope. This problem will be if you try to downgrade from 7.x.x. Upgrade should be painless. Also you can choose any channel. It will be work, but without ota`s updates.
I`ve installed retus on retcn. All working, except otas. Maybe in oreo smthng changes.
Also remember, you doing at your own risk. If you don`t fully understand what you doing - don`t do it. (Google it before )

Well, isn't it exactly what he meant? He has a 7.1.1 system, and the only version on that site was 6.0.1, so basically he will have problems with downgrading from 7 to 6, right?

Uhm, on that site you can choose any ROM you want. Reteu stuck on 6, so, technically, you right.
Also check

Maybe these ROMs will satisfy your taste.

Ok can you update the post once it has been found?
So, anyone flash this yet? I'm tempted but won't be back home to a PC (in case something goes wrong) until tonight. Just looking for some general impressions.
So, I did this. Pretty impressed with the overall device feel now, SE9 is nice . No hang ups other thank it took a long friggin' time, also remember this will WIPE all the data, so make sure to do a backup prior to. The initial/first phone setup is very iPhone-ish, imo.

Be warned; this update is ONLY for SM-G930A firmware - it has a second-stage updater that blocks all other versions (including SM-G930T, which I myself tried). In other words, it is a carrier-specific update, folks.

You could try flashing G930A firmware in Odin and updating that way.

If it weren't for this being a daily driver, I'd consider it. However, because it is, that's not an option. So I'll have to wait for either a neutral version or one that will work with the SM-G930T.
I am currently testing it out, I was on the latest U firmware and downloaded the latest ATT firmware, will update on how it goes
