I'm seeing NPJS25.93-14-8 firmware floating around. I'm using g4 Plus xt1644 (us) NPJ25.93-14.5, am I on the newest or is 14-8 the newest? Or does it even apply to me? Thanks

NPJS25.93-14-8 and NPJS25.93-14-5 are IMO most likely the same. 14-8 is for unlocked retail phones, 14-5 for Amazon phones.

Thanks for the reply!!
NPJ25.93-14.5, as far as I know, is also the latest update for US devices ( like yours, on retus software channel). As mentioned above, there's also a separate version (same build) for Amazon devices.
The NPJ25.93-14.5 has the same bootloader as the retail June update (NPJS25.93-14-8), though it looks like the baseband might have some emergency calling patches

If you need the fastboot ROM for NPJ25.93-14.5, retail is https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298984458
Amazon is here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634798183
I don't see many people on any of the Moto G4 fórums who have the Amazon G4 ads version. I know there are a few like myself, who were able to unlock the bootloader, before Amazon stopped it.
All info on updates communicated on these forum pertain to the retail version. I would have thought more people would have bought the Amazon discounted version.
It sucks that even with the bootloader unlocked, I cannot flash a retail version of the Stock ROM. Is anyone out there with the Amazon G4 versión?
Please let me know if you are and on what Android build your on? Anyone received the September security update? We're you one of the people who were able to unlock the bootloader?
I have one
I ran MM for a long time, but I just upgraded to the Sept Nougat release fine following the steps from the first post, followed by the second:

I might have been able to just do the second. FWIW, I didn't relock and I did pull out the gpt and bootloader.img lines from the upgrade script.

It's your Moto G4 the Amazon ads version? I am on the June security update NPJ25-93-14.5. I was checking if anyone on the Amazon update channel got the September security update.
Also, I wanted to know if anyone was able to convert the Moto G4 from Amazon to Retail.
I have a xt1625 Amazon Prime ads g4. My phone is bootloader unlocked, rooted, and on Npj25-93-14.4 with the bootloader from retail 93-14-8 from my last attempt to change it from a amz to retus. I haven't yet found a way to use the stock retus rom on the phone, after many attempt and several bricks.

To the prior question, yes mine is an ad-supported XT1625. I unlocked it like day 2 before they stopped supporting it. I ran rooted and ad-free for about a year, then the micro-usb failed and I had to send it in for warranty repair. Moto was nice enough to take it a week after expiration and they sent a replacement - another ad-supported XT1625. That was a few months ago. Sorry I can't confirm how I got the new phone bootloader unlocked, but it is. Software channel shows retus, and I'm running the roms I linked. I do recall seriously bricking it at one point, but I do think if you're bootloader unlocked there is a way to get to retus. Again, sorry I can't recall the journey.

Maybe the replacement they sent had Amazon ad, but the software channel is changed to retus.

By just flashing a retus bootloader you changed the channel to retus? Even with it being retus, you can't flash retus firmware on it?
Anyone with any knowledge on converting the Amazon Prime unlocked bootloader phone from AMZ update channel to retail RETUS?
If the bootloader has been unlock on an Amazon Ads phone, Why can't a retail version be flashed? It's the same firmware that the Retail XT1625 has. Even if the software channel stays AMZ, the retail firmware should work.

Whats your current security update? Are you rooted? I am in need of the stock boot.img of the December or February security update.

Has anyone ever received this update?
NPIS26 is for G4 Play (26 is Nougat 7.1). We're supposed to get February security patch, not January.
In addition to georgeiulian89's post, Nougat updates for G4/Plus devices begin with NPJ25 or NPJS25 (N for Nougat, 25 for android 7.0 in this case). If the original post is in reference to the tech droider article, then yeah, I concur the NPIS update is only for harpia/G4 Play devices.
To confirm, it looks like this update is already being received on G4 Play devices: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75514543&postcount=98
Security and stability patch through nov 01,2018 received. Has anyone else tried it? Its 2nd patch after august one i think which had a Bluetooth patch fix.
Is this for moto g5 Amazon exclusive Indian varient ??
Yes I bought it frm Amazon India. Why?? What is the difference?
I saw update notification on Lenovo support page for APAC from December and almost broke my update check button, but it says You have latest version . Still on August update, which I got in October...
I have the Moto G5 UK Amazon variant.
I got the same update and d/l it now.
Hopefully, my phone will start working as expected.
This is the 1st update I got since last ~March.
My g5 on the o2gb channel received the November security update last week too. 1st one since January 17

Same here in Poland. It looks like Lenovo is pretty slow in Europe.
My 3gb g5 from Amazon on retgb, updated to 1 Nov 2017. I was shocked it received its first update!
Sent from my Moto G (5) using Tapatalk
Seems there are at least 2 variants.
One that got some update in August (Mine didn't)
2nd that got now (Feb) the Nov updates. (Mine - 3GB "exclusive" version by Amazon UK with 2 sims).
I must say - phone seems to work better now.
So - when/where is our Oreo?
Hi
Just recieved the same update for XT1676 RETEU software channel.
Cheers
It was long overdue.. NPP25.137-93 finally here for reteu/ger.. Now it shouldn't take long for January (g5/retbr already got it).
Got it on reteu in Poland.
Got it on reteu (country - Slovakia) today. I can't see some big functional improvements (except camera app update), but phone seems to be generally working faster and it's a little bit more stable also.
I just got this ota update on reteu in UAE
I took an OTA update after my moto G5 had the bootloader unlocked and rooted. Now, it only boots to TWRP menu. The only workaround now is to go to Reboot/Bootloader in TWRP. Once in Bootoader, I can select start to boot normally. What can I do to get the phone to boot normally like before the OTA update.
you need to flash stock included stock recovery to update ota
Did someone already got the January Update?

I think retbr and retca got it.
I am thinking about getting this phone as it’s on sale now. Is the phone be able to be unlocked and rootable out of the box? What if it’s updated to latest version? Will it still be able to be unlocked and rootable?
Theoretically, yes, you can root, till you are on Oreo with June Security Patch. And you have to pay for that. Nokia had disabled the bootloader unlock vulnerability with the August patch.
My device came with August patch, unlucky me xD.
However, I know one guy who managed to convince Nokia service centre to downgrade his device to Oreo June Patch, back from Pie. He's also rooted and flashed GSI on his 6.1 Plus.
