How to Manually Install Moto X Pure Nougat OTA

ROM, Stock Firmware By Dhananjay on October 18, 2017

Moto X Pure Edition finally gets the Nougat update. Follow this guide to manually install Moto X Pure Nougat OTA on your device right now!

Indeed, Motorola has lately been the company who abandoned many of its devices when it comes to updates. Only a handful of old devices from Motorola have seen more than one major Android version and others were just left to die. At least that’s not going to be the case today for the Moto X Pure Edition. The device was launched 2 years ago and came with Lollipop out-of-the-box. It was updated to Marshmallow a few months after the release in December 2015 and has only been fortunate enough to recieve security patches until Decemeber 2016. A complete year of no updates whatsoever, the Moto X Pure Nougat update has finally arrived.

Several users on XDA have already reported that they have started receiving an update notification for Android 7.0 Nougat in the US. However, there has been no official announcement from Motorola’s end. It seems like the company is not ready to do until the rollout begins worldwide.

If you have still got your hands on the device running stock Marshmallow, you can follow this guide to manually install Moto X Pure Nougat OTA.

Moto X Pure Nougat Update

The update is ready for those who are in the US. You may just head over to Settings > About phone > System updates and check if you have already got it for your device. The current update is still based on Nougat 7.0 with the latest September Security Patches, fixing the infamous BlueBorne vulnerability. The Build number as tagged with the Moto X Pure Nougat update is NPH25.200-22.

Thankfully XDA member – gokart2 has managed to grab the OTA zip and mirrored it on Google Drive. The action has been a blessing for those who are still struggling to update in regions other than the US. You can pick up this OTA zip and manually install it on any Moto X Pure Edition phone using the stock recovery.

So now, go on and install Moto X Pure Edition Nougat OTA manually.

Steps to Install Moto X Pure Nougat OTA

Manually installing the OTA requires your device to be complete stock, which means you should not have any custom recovery, ROM, or root installed on your device. If so, then please return back to stock Marshmallow and then follow this guide.

Requirements

  • As mentioned above, your Moto X Pure Edition device should be in completely stock state.
  • The current Marshmallow build installed on your device must be 24.49-18-16.
  • Take a backup of your phone: Tutorial

Instructions

  1. Download the Moto X Pure Nougat OTA package:
    • Blur_Version.24.231.16.clark_retus.retus.en.US.zip
  2. Connect your phone to the PC in MTP/File Transfer mode and copy the OTA zip to the root (Not in any folder) of the internal storage.
  3. Disconnect the device and power it down.
  4. Press and hold the Volume Down + Power buttons until you see the bootloader mode.
  5. Now, tap on either of the volume keys a few times until you see “Recovery” selected. Then tap on the Power key once to boot into recovery mode.
    Moto G Bootloader Mode
  6. The device will not directly enter into stock recovery, you will see an Android bot with no command text on the screen. When you do see this, press and hold the Power button and tap the Volume Up button once.
  7. Your device should now be in stock recovery.
  8. Navigating in stock recovery is not operated by touch. You will need to use the Volume keys to highlight an option and select/enter it using the Power button.
  9. So highlight “apply update from phone storage” or “apply update from SD card” and select it by pressing the Power key.
  10. You should now be seeing the “Blur_Version.24.231.16.clark_retus.retus.en.US.zip” file selected, so just press the Power button to select it and begin the update process.

Now, let the update take its course and wait for it to finish. Once it does, select “reboot system now” option.

Moto X Pure Nougat update has now been installed on your device. You can now enjoy all its major features include split-screen multitasking, improved Doze, notification controls, data saver and much more. You also move along and root Moto X Pure on Nougat using Magisk.

    I transferred the OTA update to my phone’s internal storage but when I get into stock recovery mode I don’t see an option for “Apply update from phone storage”. The only options I have are “apply update from ADB” and “apply update from SD card”.

      I wouldn’t recommend that. The OTA zip will detect that the system has been modified and fail to install. I would advise you to turn back completely stock and then use this OTA method.

      It should not delete any data on the phone. But, I personally prefer taking a backup beforehand because if anything goes wrong, I can restore back.

    Everything worked fine UNTIL step 9. I see the Blur_Version.24.231.16.clark_retus.retus.en.US.zip in yellow text at the top of the stock recovery text screen, but there is no option ““Apply update from phone storage” – only “Apply update from ADB” and “Apply update from SD card” as stated in Marly’s comment above. However, when I try Dhananjay’s instructions to select “Apply update from SD card” I get the following results:

    ge 0/0
    Supported API: 3

    Internal and external memory cannot be mounted
    Installation aborted.

    This occurs even when I go back an use the option “Mount /system” and try again. Mine is a stock Marshmallow 6.0 with two official updates, the last one 12/2016, no other add-ons or changes. I have tried this pushing Blur_Version.24.231.16.clark_retus.retus.en.US.zip to the root dir of the SD card, and pushing it to the root of the Internal storage using Windows, and evn the latter with the SD card completely removed. Nothing gets me past the “Internal and external memory cannot be mounted” issue.

      Give it a minute or so. If it doesn’t proceed ahead, just force restart your device by holding the power button. Then, try the update again. Also, make sure that the update zip is not damaged/corrupted, due to incomplete download.

    I also cannot see it on the phone when the SD card option is chosen.
    Seems to want to look for the file in a folder /dat/media/0
    ../ is in the selected area
    I’ll just have to wait for the OTA I guess.

      I see articles saying You can’t get access to “/data/media/” without root
      when I Google. I have Marshmallow since I got the phone last year.
      I do not recall doing anything.
      The version is 24.231.16.clark_retus.retus.en.US.retus
      So perhaps that is part of this. I’ll read further

        The location you are mentioning is simply the root of the SD card/Internal storage. First of all, make sure that you have the latest stock Marshmallow firmware. Next, download the provided OTA and place it in the root of your Internal Storage. Then try it from the recovery. If it doesn’t show any file, try placing it in the root of SD card.

    After some research and thinking about it, The issue ended up being I was using the SD card as internal storage.
    Once I reversed that and formatted the SD card as external, both internal storage and SD card showed in windows explorer using MTP.
    I had forgotten I did that with the SD card.
    I copied it to Internal and chose update from SD card on the boot and there it was ;=)

    Update was successful.
    I have to admit that Lenovo logo flipping around for awhile had me nervous but then Android was finishing it’s updating and voila’ I have Android 7.0. Thanks so much.

      – Copied the update ZIP over to the Internal Storage and performed the steps above again

      It should work. And yes, you can use ADB to sideload the OTA. Often times, people find using ADB commands more difficult, that’s why I opted to use the manual selection method.

          Hello Zaid. Okay, it’s still pretty easy to get it.
          You will need to download this OTA file: https://mega.nz/#!yZx2FLzR!cWfKIAYe5VyuadLI55UNHJvwWU98CXUi1g0DO1pDoKg

          The process to install it is similar to the one mentioned in this post. You just gotta use this file instead of the Nougat one posted above. What this OTA will do is, it will update your system from MPHS24.49-18-8 to MPHS24.49-18-16.

          Once you have done that, you can pick up the Nougat zip that is linked above and again perform the procedure to finally update to Nougat.

          I hope it was understandable. If not, feel free to let me know.

    Same as others above, took about 10 minutes on patching system file, probably 15 minutes total and back up and running. Also, my last note, the selection I had to pick was ‘apply update from SD card’, but the new zip file showed up just fine even when placed onto internal memory.

    Can the zip file be deleted after, or does it do that automatically?

    Everything went smoothly for me. Took around 15 minutes on the Patching system files step and a couple of minutes on the Unpacking new system files step. Thanks 🙂

      Hello Chris, could you please confirm the current build number installed on your device? It will help me easily find the correct OTA to update to MPHS24.49-18-16, so that you can further update to Nougat using this guide.

        The Current Build Number is: MPH24.49-18
        It shows the System Version as:
        24.12.18.clark_retus.retus.en.US retus

            Okay. So it seems like the firmware required to flash is not installed on your device. It must be either MPHS24.49-18-8 or MPHS24.49-18-16. But in your case, it is MPHS24.49-18.

            I have found another instance where another user is stuck in the same situation: https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX/comments/733is9/instruction_on_how_flash_the_70_ota_on_pure_for/dnnt41q/

            I believe it is something related to the carrier. IMO, what you can do is, manually flash the MPHS24.49-18-16 factory image and then update to Nougat using this guide.

          • Chris says

            November 2, 2017 at 6:24 am

            I have been trying to find the factory image to manually flash it to but I have been unsuccessful in finding the correct image to use. Would you happen to have a link to where I can find the MPHS24.49-18-16 factory image?

      There shouldn’t be any problems. I have gone through different forums like XDA and almost everyone is loving the updating, in every aspect. But if you’re still not sure, I would only ask you to wait until it reaches out to your device, officially.

    Is there any way to stop the install after you start it? I rooted my phone, unlocked the bootloader, I had thought it would be an improvement like with Windows being able to control everything, but you still can’t control everything and apps like Snapchat break. So last night I did a wipe using twrp after getting stuck in a boot loop after hitting yes to the update. It kept going to twrp and I couldn’t find the file. I still can’t. After the wipe root checker said no root access found. Snapchat worked again, so I kind of figured maybe I could do the ota. I just tried and now I’m stuck in that boot loop again. It takes me to twrp. I can’t find the file in any folder. So I was kind of hoping there might be some way to disable it from trying to install every time I restart. Otherwise I’m going to have to wipe again and just keep hitting no twenty times a day to updating. This is a Moto X Pure.

      Root or TWRP, both will prevent the OTA file from flashing. You need to be stock firmware to flash this OTA.

      Hi Sean,

      Looking at Motorola’s history with updates, I doubt they will push any further updates, at least not anytime soon. It is a shame, that a close-stock device has been treated like this.

      But that doesn’t stop you from getting unofficial updates through custom ROMs. I now highly suggest custom ROMs for older devices, because not only do they provide more features but also bring the latest security patches.

      It’s nice to see the readers engaging in conversations. Let me know if there’s any other question.

    Hello, I updated with the link listed above on 11/9/17 but just found out AT&T is updating the Moto x pure with a build number nph25.200_23 and the download from the link is build nph25.200_22. Do you know if there is any difference in the builds? also is there any way to update to the .23 build after doing a manual update with .22?
    Thanks

      November 28, 2017 at 9:36 am

      Hello Mark, I have researched a bit on this and found that the update is same. According to another user at Lenovo forums, 23 is for T-Moble/AT&T(GSM and 22 is for Sprint/Verizon(CDMA).

      I am not sure to what extent that is true. My advice would be, that you stick along with the current firmware you have since there is no difference. In case if I find something, I will make sure to put that up on the blog too.

          You will first need to update to MPHS24.49-18-8, then to MPHS24.49-18-16, and then use this tutorial. I am unable to capture any OTA for that. If you really wish to update, you can follow the steps below.

          1) Download MPHS24.49-18-8 full firmware: https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20X%20Pure%20%28XT1575%29/Stock/XT1575_CLARK_RETUS_6.0_MPHS24.49-18-8_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
          2) Flash it using the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/guide-return-to-stock-relock-bootloader-t3489110

          Once you have flashed it, let me know I will guide you further so there are no confusions. This will wipe you entire device, so make sure to take a backup first.
