Well... TBH, we don't know. Moto has given to official word at all, I put the chance of getting an update at around 50/50, but since the Virgin Mobile edition just got 6.0.1 this week, who knows.

Anybody actually seen the July or October 2016 security updates?!?!

July 2016 security update - https://motorola-global-portal.cust...wer_detail/a_id/112342/p/9390/kw/october 2016
October 2016 security update - https://motorola-global-portal.cust...wer_detail/a_id/116004/p/9390/kw/october 2016
Has ANYONE seen these at all, or is this some kind of Lenovo trick to say "look, we are putting out updates... I don't why you didn't get it" kind thing (doubtful, but who knows).
Just throwing this out there to stir the pot a little...
Checked on 6.0.1 with Marsh security patch but got nothing .. Don't know what Moto wanna tell us by this

Yes there is a thread for firmware files in general section where you can find the build for xt1550 with july security patches.
Some people are saying that they have successfully updated their phone with the security patch. I myself didn't see those. By any case, is it possible that the Motorola updater doesn't download security updates on unlocked bootloader devices (though that shouldn't be the case as per the FAQ)?
Guys does it mean that moto can announce nougate soon or it just a hope

There is no sign the petition, even signed by over 16,800 users, has made any difference... We know Moto get an email with each and every signature, and yet they haven't even acknowledged it exists. Silence can be taken in many ways, maybe they think it will just go away if they ignore it, maybe they can't actually defend themselves for their decision, or maybe they just don't care.

Not absolute confidence, but absolute isn't necessary here, just significant confidence is enough... Moto has stated flat out the Moto G 2015 won't get Nougat, and they haven't wavered at all in that stance, there is no realistic reason to think otherwise.
But this thread isn't really about Nougat, but about the July and October security updates... which Moto wants people to think are out there somewhere.

The simple answer is no and probably never, most likely end up "trebilizing" the ROM using something like CLT (capire le treble). We're not near that either though.

Now a days Motorola is very selfish dealings. They sold the devices with updates promise and then lastly forget it. older devices are updated to May Patch. Indirectly you have to buy a new phone with updated OS

My X4's motherboard was replaced while servicing and now im on retapac software channel.. I have not recieved a single update since then.. Still on December patch.. anybody here has any idea about this? I did reset the phone in hope of software channel change but nothing
@Abhishek Survase
What is your Motorola version?
Settings - System - About phone - Motorola version

Again, problems with Motorola updates? (g7 power)

I'm still in the patch of December 2018 I find something unfortunate, I think they do not have the desire to fix this failure of the ota's, so they take 3 devices if two can not update and I'm going g5, g6 and g7, just regrettable

People have complained about this to Motorola on Twitter but they ignore it and give nonsense form replies.
I'm also stuck on December 2018 patch for the xt1955-2...Retla version. Bought the phone on Amazon.
Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk
Same here.
Retla Software Channel.
Model: XT1955-2.
Build number: PPO29.80-27
Kernel version: 4.9.112-perf+ #1 Mon Dec 10 12:04:01 CST 2018
Security patch level: Dec 1 2018
I bought this phone on eBay with the understanding that it was compatible with AT&T / cricket wireless. The lack of LTE bands for these carriers has been difficult. I am hopeful that progress will be made on unlocking the needed bands!

the only way I see is to flash a stock ROM more updated as the openmx that is 1 March 2019 is the most current I see
What about "retus"? I would guess that flashing a different stock ROM to this hardware will alter or prevent future OTA since it is rooted, etc?

I did it and if the otes arrive I did it with a moto g 5 in its time and if it updates like any other since it is official it has nothing to do with the channel.
same for me, RETEU2 channel and still on december 2018 patch
im just waiting for a TWRP port at this point, im not expecting garbage Motorola to fix this
Is there a way to switch to a different update channel?
My phone stucks on RETEU2 channel, too.

Security Patch question

Have anyone received the security of 2020 ? Mine is still at Dec. 2019. My phone is retail unlock. My wife G6 already received Feb. 2020 security patch update.

I tried the upgrade option in LMSA, PPFS29.105-75-4 is the latest available.
Thank you for the link; I installed LMSA and the December 2019 patch was the latest for z4 retail unlock phone.

I learnt that lesson with AT&T. I purchased AT&T specific Moto Z2 force from Lenovo and used it for a couple years. I love the phone. When I switched over to T-Mobile last Christmas, I had hard time to make call and to receive call due to different GSM frequencies used by AT&T. I could only use data to make call via WhatApps. Also, AT&T disabled WiFi calling in my Moto Z2 Force, so that was really bad. I could not get a non carrier specific Moto Z2 Force anymore. That's why I bought Z4 and non-carrier specific. It works for AT&T and T-Mobile without any problem + WiFi calling too !
I just got the September 2020 security patch tonight (10/14/2020).
