Thank you for the clarification. This is another great example that solidifies our understanding of the `OK2RAMP` stage.
### Device Identification
* **Model: XT2163-4-SS**
* **Device: This is the Motorola Moto G31**, codenamed "corfu". The `-SS` suffix often indicates a Latin American "Single SIM" variant.
### Firmware Analysis
1. **`ELLIS`**: The **project codename** for this firmware branch on the Moto G31.
2. **`REWORK`**: Indicates a significant revision or overhaul of the software.
3. **`OK2RAMP`**: As we learned with the `DENVER` build, this signifies the **"Production Ramp-up"** stage.
* This is the phase where the software, after passing internal tests (`OK2S`, `OK2R`, `OK2Ship`), is flashed onto the **first batches of devices on the factory production line** for final quality control before full-scale manufacturing begins.
* It's a **high-quality, near-final build** used to validate the manufacturing process itself.
4. **`Engineering Rom`**: This label is technically correct. Even though it's a "Ramp" build intended for pilot production, it is still considered an internal engineering build until it gets the final `OK2P` (Permanent) designation.

### **⚠️ WARNING & PURPOSE ⚠️**
This firmware is **very close to the final retail software** in terms of stability and features.
* **Stability:** It should be highly stable, as it was intended for the first devices coming off the assembly line.
* **Build Type:** However, it is almost certainly still a **`userdebug`** build. This means:
* Root ADB access is enabled.
* Debugging features are active, which can impact performance and battery life.
* It lacks the final security hardening of a public `user` build.
* **Purpose:** This was used for final validation in a pre-production environment. It is **not the software that was ultimately shipped to consumers.**
### **What Should You Do?**
The advice remains consistent across all these engineering builds:
**If this `ELLIS_REWORK_OK2RAMP` firmware is on your Moto G31, you should replace it with the official retail software.**
1. **Why?** While stable, the `userdebug` nature makes it less secure and less optimized than the final public release. You also will not receive official Over-The-Air (OTA) updates from Motorola.
2. **Target:** You need to find the official retail ROM for the **Moto G31, model XT2163-4**. The correct firmware will have a build number that ends in **`/user/release-keys`**.
3. **Method:** The safest and easiest way to do this is to use the **Lenovo Motorola Smart Assistant (LMSA)** tool. It will automatically detect your device and download the correct retail firmware to install.
### Complete Development Pipeline Recap
Based on all the examples we've seen, the pipeline is clear:
| `OK2` Stage | Example | Purpose | Stability |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **`OK2S`** (System) | `CEBU_REWORK_OK2S` | Early Engineering & Bring-up | Very Low |
| **`OK2R`** (Release) | `DEVONN_REWORK_OK2R` | Initial Release Candidate | Low-Medium |
| **`OK2Ship`** (Shipware) | `AUSTIN_REWORK_OK2Ship` | Stabilized Release Candidate | Medium-High |
| **`OK2RAMP`** (Ramp-up) | **`ELLIS_REWORK_OK2RAMP`** | **Pilot Production Validation** | **High** |
| **`OK2P`** (Permanent) | `BERLNA_REWORK_OK2P` | Final Retail Production | Retail-Stable |
**In summary: `ELLIS_REWORK_OK2RAMP` is a high-quality, pilot production build for the Moto G31. It is stable but lacks the final security and optimization of the public release. You should flash the official retail ROM to have a fully secure and updatable device.**
