I flashed mine (clean flash) with RSA and regained root with Magisk 25
So far so good.
Unfortunately, VoNR cannot be enabled

Wow man thanks for the heads up that 11 can be rooted, hadn't begun to even look at that yet. Your 5G isn't working? Would you mind sharing what carrier you're with? I'm on T-Mobile, no issues here yet that I've seen. Hopefully we can get yours sorted out too.

5G SA/NSA work fine, but I suspect the modem doesn't support VoNR

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.
Thanks,

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.
Motorola isn't showing us Z4 users a very well or warm welcome when it comes to security updates lately.

Figured lol. This is the first carrier phone I've got in years, and now I'm remembering why it wasn't worth saving a few bucks on carrier special, and better to get the retail one. Haha

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).

Updates

Hey guys,
I am considering the X2 Pro. I have a mate 20 pro just now. How are oppo for updates? Will the camera be an improvement over what I have. The phone looks good. Wireless charging will be a miss but I can live without it

Good so far! I've had the phone around a a week and had 2 software updates and currently sitting at the May security patch.
Others on here are on the June Security Patch too so Oppo seem pretty good so far! [emoji4]

Do they jump by 1 - meaning the version prior to A.25 was A.24? When I'm some behind!
Should the updates not automatically appear in the phone or?

You can actually download oppo's roms here:

Some countries are outdated, you can also try with any VPN you are comfortable with , I use expressVPN myself.

Thank you so much that actually worked, but the version that came up is A.24, is there an A.25?
I got my phone from vodafone this week and the software was CPH2025VF_11_A.12 with saftypatch from 5th march 2020. Today the update CPH2025VF_11_A.26 appeard with safetypatch from 5th may 2020.
I had the Mate 20 Pro before this too. Not sure if camera is an improvement as not really had chance to check it out (but I know the M20P had a fantastic camera, and I'm assuming FX2P will be at least as good from reviews). If you happy with M20P, then might be worth hanging on to it for a bit - I only swapped as wanted the 5g capability and larger capacity

The numbers don't actually mean anything, it's just randomly numbering the versions in their respective regions and doesn't necessarily mean that .25 is newer and/or more advanced than .24.
I'm in the Czech republic and had .18 as the most recent one, had to change to Germany with VPN to receive June's .24.

Android 10 on Retail US

Anyone know when/if Android 10 is coming to RETUS/Retail US? I'm on the XT1955-5 and this seems (from what I've seen) to be the most common model. I'm hoping that it will come soon because I like some of the newer features in Android 10, alongside the fact that the Settings will no longer burn my retinas. Thanks!
Unfortunately, there's no android 10 for retus yet... I'll let you know if i get any news about it
I'm in the USA but have retin. I've got the update and a June 1st patch for security already.
I have the June security update. Are you saying you got the Android 10 update via OTA?
retus & I got the June 1 security update but not 10.

I would do a custom ROM but I'm just sticking with official for now till Android 11 becomes old news.
Also because of the Google Safetynet stuff,
speaking of which, does anyone know if our device supports hardware-based safetynet?

Probably right. I guess there is a kind of work around to that by flashing certain imgs from another retail to retus. I haven't done it yet, but it sounds a lot like what happened a few yrs ago with my atrix hd and the razr hd. Atrix got left on 4.1.2, razr got 4.4.2, could flash some imgs from razr, without touching the bootloader, and i had moto's official 4.4.2 on my atrix. I believe its the same concept here with retus, but i haven't tried it yet.

Guess I'm lucky. I got the retin (India rom I guess) my phone updated to Android 10 about a month ago and I'm in Utah.
PSA: You can install the generic RETAIL firmware. It's much safer than flashing any region specific stuff.

Question Playstore and Global release

This device looks great. Do you guys know if this will be launched with the Playstore in China or will this have a Global release in the near future?
I couldn't find the ROM for this device in MIUI forms, do you guys know if and when the ROM will be released so that we can get Root for this device?
I bought it from Wanda mobile, Chinese/English languages and all Google matters installed. They are going to ship July 15th. I believe they'll create a global version but I don't think immediately.
The Xiaomi EU forum will probably be the first to release a more generic ROM but in fastboot versions until a working twrp is produced.
Mine too is coming from Wanda and as said, it will come with a basic Google with playstore but I will flash the first Xiaomi EU fastboot ROM as soon as I can.

It might kind of a dumb question but is it possible to flash Magisk without a custom recovery (e.g. TWRP) because if I can't root it as soon as I get it, I probably won't buy the phone haha
No phone has a working twrp on release. It needs the guys who can, to work on it and modify a twrp version to match the new phone. So everyone will have to wait for that.
Normally a custom fastboot ROM gets released until a working twrp is found and then custom ROMs tend to be in a twrp flash version and of course ability to flash magisk. Just hand on a while until a twrp is found before buying.

Thanks for the answer
How long do you think it would take for a custom fastboot ROM to be released?
Probably a couple of weeks after release? Check out the Xiaomi EU forum for its release, as those are the guys who will have the first but also check out https://mifirm.net/model/thor.ttt for all the latest releases and twrp releases.
I had no idea that mifirm website had existed, I'll keep track. Thanks again!
This is exciting. I'm waiting for mine in Canada, bought internationally. Not sure where mine will be coming from. I usually buy internationally.
Hoping for a quick mod fastboot edition of the ROM to install for removal of junkware and inclusion of PlayStore plus better battery optimizations by default.
Based in the US and I ordered one from Giztop.com on July 4th and received it yesterday (July 11th.) Looking forward to switching the Chinese Rom to another rom. It came with the Google Playstore.
Do you think android auto will be available to this model?

have you had luck with 5G? am using the mi 11ultra in the usa on t-mobile. it can access 5GNSA but not their 5GUC which is about 5 times faster.
Ordered from Giztop back on 7/7 and its out for delivery today. Plan on using it on my T-Mobile line so ill report back once I pop my sim in it!
How much did you pay for it?
Anyone had theirs ship from Wonda yet?

One UI 5 for the N986U1

Does anyone know when will the N986U1 receive one UI 5 update?
Should have gotten already in most of world. (source 9-5 Google)
I dont have it yet on mine either.
Same here for the u1, been looking around for any word on it. We should receive it when the U version receives 5.0
Yeah. Kinda sux.
I have a U model and I've gotten Android 13 and UI5. My wife has a U1 and she is still stuck on Android 12 and UI4.
I sure would like to know for sure if U1 models will ever get it!
It really sucks waiting so long while everyone else is getting that experience.
Hopefully, we will get it soon
I got it on my U1 finally.

Must not be too widely available, SamMobile doesn't have it available for download. The most recent firmware they have for the XAA Unlocked model is Android 12 on the November 2022 update.
I just registered just to comment that they just released the update with OneUi 5 after months of waiting for it (confirmed also in SamMobile for XAA)
Installing it right now on my cell phone
