I am trying to re-lock the bootloader, which requires flashing a stock firmware. But it won't allow flashing any older version due to older security patch. Any ideas?
Is the full firmware for the US version with May security update available somewhere?
If you're after the NPNS25.137-35-5 firmware, have a look here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=171014 (Just ensure you download the firmware that doesn't have AMZ in its name for retail devices, AMZ is for Amazon Prime devices )
Please doublecheck that it's the right firmware for you - I'm trying to work out which firmwares are for which regions, but Motorola isn't making it easy...
EDIT - maybe people can confirm, is this accurate (I sourced the info from the Moto G5 Lenovo forums)?

Thanks a lot.
That worked perfect. Flashed NPNS25.137-35-5 on my US unlocked version and it got the May security patch.

Hi!!! Hey could you please help me with something? Can you tell me which version of bootloader you have right now?
To know that, you have to restart the phone into bootloader mode, and you have to tell me the number after BL: line
You'll see something like:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
BL: C1.07 (sha-9d7f987, 2017-04-01 13:44:7) <---- THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO KNOW!!! Please!
Or could you take a picture of this screen?

I totally hardbricked my potter. To revive it, I had to blankflash some files from other Moto phone. Now I have the bootloader from Moto Z Play (which has the version number I gave you as an example).
I asked you the bootloader version to make sure I can flash the new 135.5-5 bootloader and partition table to return my phone back to normal! But since I have software parts from Moto Z Play, I'm afraid it wont accept potter bootloader back again. So, I'll test this later!

Great question. Mine is the US version with -33, so it must not be an EU firmware. I asked the same question a few weeks back and no one can confirm either way. I do wish we had some confirmation so someone doesn't flash the wrong version. Maybe if everyone responded with version info (screenshot?) and location?

Yeah, Moto G5 Plus firmwares seem to be confusing, and I agree, we don't need/want more bricks!
From what I've been reading on the Lenovo forums, as the users there are more likely to have stayed on the firmware originally issued:
1)Looks like 137-33 and 137-35 were deployed in the US (though 137-33 seems to be more widely reported in the EU).
2)137-35 seems to be an emergency patch to update 137-33 for devices on the Verizon network (to fix the 911 call bug if you were running VoLTE on Verizon) and was released on retus devices: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-G...5-OTA-update-just-received-in-US/td-p/3730072 I had a look at the updater script for that patch (from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/help/update-to-fix-volte-911-bug-t3594630 ) which appears to confirm it too:
Code:
ui_print("Source: motorola/potter/potter:7.0/NPN25.137-33/35:user/release-keys");
ui_print("Target: motorola/potter/potter:7.0/NPN25.137-35/37:user/release-keys");
3)Seems that devices running on other networks are on the 137-33 firmware (e.g. AT&T, retus: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-G...ce-G5-plus-stuck-on-NPN25-137-33/td-p/3738547)
4) Seems that there's 2 update paths to the May security patch:
From 137-33 > 137-35 > NPNS25.137-35-5 (this May update seems to be also the wider reported version too for US devices, probably this is the path if you are on the Verizon network)
From 137-33 > NPNS25.137-33-5
I don't know if there's any major differences between the 2 builds besides the VoLTE 911 fix, or if you were on the 137-33-5 build whether you could switch to the Verizon network and be able to make emergency calls on VoLTE (I honestly would hope that fix was rolled into both May patches though...) I'm also not sure what factors decide which update you get, besides possibly being on the Verizon network at some point?
I honestly hope at a later date, Motorola unifies the firmware (like they've done with the G4 Plus), so you can just flash one version rather than multiple different types.
Again, if someone has more information (as I don't have a G5 Plus), feel free to add/correct what I've written!
I have a US version that was shipped with NPN25.137-35 and I'm on the AT&T network.

If you mean the NPN25.137-35 firmware, I don't think it was released in India (unless your device came with it?). As far as I can tell, looks like 137-67 appears to be the latest build currently for India.

Hello XDA - Am new here, but thought i'd share my info - I have build number NPNS25.137-33-5 (7.0 Nougat) with 1. May (just upgraded from jan/feb if memory serve) as latest security patch. I am from Europe, more specific based in the Benelux area (NL/BE/GE) - If i can provide any more info on the matter, please let me know!

I'd suggest staying on NPN25.137-67 if you're on an Indian device, else you may not receive OTA updates. Furthermore, if you swap to 137-35 you may run the risk of bricking your device in future.
So I went ahead and took a chance and flashed the *35 build on top of *33 in rsd lite. It works. Almost immediately I got the OTA of the *35-5 update. I think @echo92 is right and it is more geared towards Verizon. It took me a little to get AT&T to work on LTE here in the US but it all seems fine now.
I had -35 flashed on EU device and no updates for me.

Ah, then you may be on the wrong build for the EU region (I've only seen reports of 137-33 for the EU), and thus the reteu software channel might not have an update for you. I see from your previous post you flashed the 137-35 update onto your device?
I honestly don't know if you can safely revert to NPN25.137-33, but here's a stock NPN25.137-33 ROM to flash via fastboot (as always, back up your data and keep it off your device, as this fastboot ROM will likely wipe your device in the flash): https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/potter/official/RETAIL/
I also do not know what will happen if you try to flash the NPNS25.137-35-5 update onto a reteu device (it might work, but could result in you being off the update path still).
Good luck either way.

Well right now I'm on a custom rom. When I'll decide to revert to stock I'll probably fastboot flash -33 build and see how it goes. Cheers.

Update TWRP to the latest.
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

Hey guys,
I've been on nougat soak test since it's release back in 2016 and decided to downgrade to Marshmallow today. I am now on MPJ24.139-48 (6.0.1) and when I search for updates my device tells me that it's already up to date.
Is it normal? How can I get the lastest official firmware?
Sorry if my english isn't the best, it isn't my native language.
Thanks in advance.
Hmm, that build should be updating to MPJ24.139-63/64 and then updating to Nougat.
However, as you've downgraded, it's not necessarily a good idea to use OTA updates. To be safe, you could look into flashing the NPJS25.93-14-13 v7.0 Nougat stock Dec 2017 stock firmware here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
What software channel is your device? This firmware has been deployed to Indian, Brazil, EU and UK devices as far as I've seen, and if you're in those territories you should expect to receive OTA updates. Whilst you may be okay with flashing this firmware on other countries' device variants, you may not receive OTA updates.
On a retGB (UK) XT1642 device, this NPJS25.93-14-13 firmware is running well though.

Hi and thank you for your answer. I am from France, I don't really mind not having OTA's if I can flash updates. It is juste that I have been away from xda for more than a year so I'm a bit lost with all the firmwares around. OTA just feels easier.
Will try this firmware tho.
I m on stock rom unrooted with locked bootloader with built no : NPNS25.137-93-10 (April patch).
So my question is how to switch to NPNS25.137-92-14 (JUNE patch), how to do it ?plz help
Why do you want to change to India/Brazil software, safer to just wait for the US, Europe, Retpac version.
Damn, just noticed retin, just fastboot 92.14.
Then you can update to official oreo
Stable version is releasing soon, wait for sometime.

92-14 is firmware for India and Brazil, 93-14 is for Europe,US and Asia Pacific.
It's possible to flash one over the other but you'll change your software channel and may not receive future OTA.
Better to wait for the 8.1 firmware for your region.
Losing IMEI,volte or 4g most likely only happens when you flash a 64 bit custom ROM.
To be on the safe side make a full nandroid backup incl. EFS and persist with latest TWRP 3.2.3.1

The name of the software channel doesn't change if you flash another firmware version so it's safe from that point of view.
The only thing that's changing is the fact that you don't receive any OTA updates anymore.
The screenshot of the op only shows that he once flashed a firmware that was meant to be used on a US or european device.

I am currently on a 7.1.2 custom rom and want to flash stock Oreo but when I look at the official download list, there seems to be dozens of different variants for AMZ, RETAIL, RETEU etc and I have no idea where to start.
I have an XT1685 (with the NFC chip) and live in Australia, but will be travelling around Russia and Europe for the next 12 months - Can anyone recommend which firmware I should use?

You should use the one you were coming from.
Regarding Oreo stock there are basically just two different firmwares, the ones ending on 85-13-x are for almost all regions, ending on 85-17-x are for the US.
So in your case I would think the latest firmware for non US should be the correct choice, that's 85-13-5:

This will take you up to the December security patch.
