If you are unlocked and rooted the this link will work for you. I upgraded my XT1625 without any issues and my software channel stayed set.

Thanks for your reply but my bootloader is locked and im not rooted

Not getting OTA after flashing Jan patch and the May patch as well. G5 Plus XT1686.

Flashed the NPN25.137-35 (Jan patch) stock rom on my moto g 5 plus to unbrick my phone. Went well but after booting, I'm not getting any OTA updates.
Flashed a newer version of the firmware - POTTER_NPNS25.137-35-5 (May patch) by following a video. Still not getting any updates.
PLEASE HELP!

Please reply guys!

I explain you based on my experience: You will never receive any more OTA as you don't have in sync the OEM partition. The OTAs check the "build.prop" in SYSTEM and the "oem.prop" in OEM. A lot of firmwares here for flashing your device lacks the OEM partition.
So, try to reflash a full firmware.
I hope it helps you!

I flashed the Brazil ROM (.15 version) on my G5 Plus and got the OTA update to the .67 version. After installing the update, the device went into a hard bricked state. No bootloader. Only the LED blinks when the device is connected. Tried reviving the bootloader using blankflash but it fails each time I try.

Yeah, attempting to downgrade from the retail US May 2017 patch (NPNS25.137-35-5) to the Indian/Brazil .15 firmware and then attempting to take OTA updates has caused hard bricks previously.
Which blankflashes have you tried? Does the albus (Moto Z2 Play) blankflash work? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73062532&postcount=15 I do not know if any of the Moto Z Play blankflashes may work (given the similar hardware) or may not depending on how new they are.

Oh hey it got fixed. Flashed the debloated and deodexed ROM for the g5 plus. This is the ROM that's advised to flash after a hard brick, for this phone. And yeah I used the Albus blankflash. It worked successfully!

Good to hear you got your device working. I imagine you could flash the TWRP flashables if you wanted a more updated system (since these flashables don't affect the GPT/bootloader, where the majority of the hard bricks seem to arise): https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/development/rom-twrp-flashable-stock-builds-t3675616

Checking bootloader version on the phone

Hi, how do I check my current bootloader version that is on my phone? And how do i know what version of bootloader will be in any stock rom i want to flash?
I don't want to overwrite with older bootloader. Need to know the current and the next one i will flash.
My device is from Europe and I have NPN25.137-92 installed.. I think this is not the latest stock nougat for my region.
Cheers.

No need to push your question everyday. If someone is able/wants to answer he will do.
First of all: NPN25.137-92 is not the European firmware, it's the one for India and Brazil.
The latest one in Europe seems to be NPN25.137-93-14, since yesterday there is another update with version number NPN25.137-93-18 out incl. August security patch but until now only US users (software channel RETUS) have confirmed it. For India/Brazil (your firmware) the latest Nougat firmware is NPN25.137-92-14.
Have you fastboot flashed some firmware on your device so that you are on NPN25.137-92 now? That could be the reason you don´t receive any further OTA updates.
Your bootlader version should be visible when you boot into stock recovery.

Yes, I must have flashed pretty wrong firmware, and now I want to get back on the track. Though I dont remember and I dont have knowledge what was flashed before that. Now I wonder what should be my next step in order to have latest European nougat, or oreo.

Flash latest european firmware NPN25.137-93-14 via fastboot. It can be found somwhere here in the Moto G 5+ threads or you can download it with Lenovo Smart Assistant: https://support.lenovo.com/de/de/downloads/ds101291
That should keep you back on track.
If you can't wait you can update to Oreo with the available OTA found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5...fficial-moto-g5-g5-plus-t3848246/post77856408 ( Read OP of that thread to find out how). But as I posted above there's a newer nougat firmware out in the US so you may not receive future Oreo updates if you use this OTA.

Need an advice: I'm currently on POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-10, OTA says i can update it to POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-14.. Then I could get Oreo OTA from the thread above. In case of any further trouble: will it be safe to return to nougat POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-10 via fastboot? If yes, if then I update again to POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-14, it is safe to take nougat OTA again? And then oreo OTA again? Hope you get my point.

No, that's not safe. Downgrading is always a risky thing because of the bootloader and taking OTA after that could completely hardbrick your phone.
So if you're once on 93-14 you shouldn't flash an older firmware than this. Same applies to downgrading from Oreo to Nougat.

Well, in case of firmware, I cannot find direct 93-14 fastboot rom for download. I have found 93-10 only, that's why I'm concerned about not having the most up to date rom version on my hard drive to flash in case of<>.

Stock Oreo firmware (fastboot) needed for XT1686 (retin channel)

I need the stock Oreo firmware for Moto G5 Plus Indian variant (XT1686) to relock the bootloader.
I know that the Nougat stock firmwares were different for different variants of potter.
But I read from a post that this is not the case for stock Oreo firmware and it's same for all variants. Is it a fact?
If yes then I have no problem as there are links available for fastboot version of stock Oreo firmware.
But if no then please tell me where to download the specific one for XT1686.
Reply at your earliest convenience.

Model is not needed, original software channel (Country specific) is required.
So if you can give that info, someone can point you in the right direction.

I found it myself.
The link is : https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1zE8nSFXhMaBbj9oAmEnypBh7_nRyHg6x&export=download
This firmware can be used for any channel as starting from Oreo Moto doesn't create different firmwares for different channels.

Moto G4 Amz Version

Hello, i would like to ask here if someone has the same issue, i had a fully working Moto G4 AMZ Version Running Nougat, however after waiting too much and the oreo version never was released, i wanted to try to flash the firmware and update it via rsd lite with oreo version, however this resulted in my phone bricked, i tried some ways to downgrade again to nougat however i was not able since it is not possible to downgrade to stock amz firmware once i had updated it with wrong version of 8.0, so may i ask if after maybe 1 year is there any advance or release for the 8.0 amz version firmware? i think the only solution for this is to send the device back to motorola, but i will ask first here any other ideas?
Thank you in Advance
Henser.

Use lenovo save and rescue to unbrick your phone.
I’ve tried installing stock moto G4 Android 8.1 and no luck. This is with boot loader unlocked, custom kernel and root. No luck.

same issue, i try from time to time to recover the device with no luck, still waiting for a solution with bootloader locked
