Npns or nps firmware? - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

NPNS Or NPN? What are the differences of being versions of the Firmware? I currently have an XT1687 US Version With the NPNS version (I installed it) but I do not know if something changes in those firmware versions

In general, all Moto's are like this:
XXX - Original factory flash or initial release
XXXS - OTA Update
The firmware itself is identical.

I know this thread is a bit dated but I just searched and found it, as I was curious what the difference in the file names where. Mine is a g5s plus, but it would still pertain to my curiosity. The file I'm looking at are nps and npss.
Thankyou for your simplistic and straight forward answer acejavelin. It clears things up good.
I didn't want to download an india version of the rom, so this helped me a lot, ty ty!

New firmware P1000JVJL1.. need info?

Recently a new firmware P1000JVJL1 showed up under the Arabic section at samfirmware.com, but it was confirmed that it was NOT an arabic firmware but euro instead.
So I flashed it just to feed my curiosity and it was true. Euro definitely, had Turkish locale too, but that uses normal English lettering.

if i remember right, then is JV for the region
the following j for 2010
the following l is the month (were we have actually m in the jma version)
and the 1 is version one.
so i don´t really see were this firmware should be a newer one than xxjma

As far as I'm aware the M builds are test builds and not formal releases.
An L would indicate a December build, so it is quite possible it is newer than JMA.

jma was also released in december, so who says that is a newer version, and from where it cames thats an euro version? if it has turkish on board and english lettering, that says nothing. any other languages in?
Any chance you checked what the build date on this one was and what CSCs it includes?

I said that it was "quite possible" that it's newer than JMA, not that it is definitely newer.
Consider the following - JMA is a development build (we know this). At some point that development build will get completed and released, and when it does it ceases to be an "M" build and will follow the conventional naming sequence. If that build is released in December, it will be an L build.
It remains to be seen what this actually is, but we certainly shouldn't discount it based on there being an M build in existence.
Regards,
Dave
i´m downloading it. will see what it says on my tab and if the build date is newer than jma.
will report later....

Am doing the same now.
Should I continue?
The filesystem dates of the flashable files seem to indicate that JMA is newer, and the build numbers confirm that assumption: 759588 > 739553 (07/12/2010 > 01/12/2010)

you can stop it if you want.
i think this firmware is not newer as jma, as file dates are from 30.nov / 1.dec.
jma files are newer. for that i will not flash it to my tab unless somebody really proofes me that:
a) its a newer version,
and
b) its an euro-version.
Ok tried it
This firmware is for the turkish tablet and it doesn't contain the fixed browser (introduced in JM6)

Read the post just above yours (info extracted directly from mounted RFS filesystem).
Darn, was hoping it was the released version of JMA!

Traditionally, Milestone and Prototype are internal. However in the SGS series we have repeatedly seen them on "production" releases (yes, both M and P).
In truth it is now hardly possible to compare newness based on name alone. There have been instances where (x) has been newer than (z) as well. Not to mention the last character can only be compared if comparing to the exact same region and product codes.

I am currently running ATHENE_MPJ24.139-49_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip from this source, on my XT1642 (channel reteu)
Maybe Amazon?
I appreciate everybody's help. However I can't tell if the the correct firmware listed is for US XT1644 FIRMWARE. I see I have the correct build. I have as of yet not unlocked my device. However I want to load my own backup all my images using dd command except data. Upload and post links for the United States build, as I just don't see nothing. Any help to the stock build United States build XT1644 would be great? Thanks
Also when unlocking the my device is there any issues I will run into, off the top of your heads?

9 is the latest firmware for the US model. im not sure what the very bottom one "harpia" is for?
I have bought mine unlocked and it is "retus". It has the MPJ 24.139-48 fw. Radio is M8952_70009.08.03.45R ATHENE_RETUSA_CUST.
If I check the update it says it's up-to-date.

ATHENE_AMZ_MPJ24.139-64_65_cid50_amz.tgz is for the Indian variants, not the US nor European variants.

Harpia is the codename for the Moto G4 Play. Athene is the G4/G4+.
Thanks everybody for helping out. Please continue to write more info about the US XT1644 as there is not alot in on this model.

yup but .9 is the latest. it has fixes for battery and the phone. i flashed it via fastboot on my XT6144 and it works great.
Well, the -49 (not 9) it's not to be found on Moto US website or OTA, it just appeared here like magic and the change log (supposedly) here. So I am not sure about it's provenience and that the fixes are not a placebo.
Anyway, I understand the "itch" to install it. Because I am so tempted myself
LE: Well, I did it. Flashed the MJP24.139-49 on my XT1644, I am restoring the apps now from backup.
Are these TWRP flashable or fastboot?
Yes, fastboot is avail after you unlock the bootloader on Motorola site (loosing the warranty).
I have booted into TWRP to root (SU systemless method), but didn't actually flash it (because I don't plan to switch to CM at this point).

I'm already on CM but there's the bug preventing me from receiving calls unless I turn off LTE. I'd prefer to not lose root and don't have access to a PC, so if I can wipe and flash this in TWRP, that would be perfect.
No, you can't, you need the standard recovery to get back to stock. Then you can root as I said.
As for CM13, I had used it (beta and after that nightlies) on one of my previous devices (Asus, based on Snapdragon 615, 64 bit, 3GB RAM)... but it was too unstable to use as a daily phone. Always something to be "fixed" and very often something else was breaking. Disappointed...
Security Patch Level
Can someone who has flashed the -49 build confirm what the security patch level is? Just wondering if it's the same update India and Europe received OTA.

Newest firmware?

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
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/amazon-prime-moto-g4-update-t3665900
If you need the fastboot ROM for NPJ25.93-14.5, retail is https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298984458

I believe i read somewhere on here that you can only flash the same bootloader version as 8.0 is version 2 so the only one you can downgrade to is one with bootloader version 2 and that is 7.0 i understand. Correct me if i am wrong though,

Just download the firmware for 6.0.1 and flash it in odin, I've done it several times and it works very nicely.
I'm surprised they would allow 6.0.1 firmware to flash what model is your phone sm-g935f and was it on 8.0?
BL code drops to 6.0 without code but network goes

Hello,
I downgraded to 6.0 but phone is now stuck in boot loop and i'm unable to access recovery mode.
I'm only able to access download mode.
Please how can i resolve this problem?
Hey guys, who knows do we have option like — flash fw with older bootloaders and then do isolated new bootloader flash to make older fw work?
Something like that, because i "heard" similar tricks in internet, like people are flashing modem and bootloader bins separately after downgrade flashing like from android 8 to 6. But didn't find proper instructions on that.
Is it possible? Is there instruction out there?
Yeah, oreo is better than nougat and yeah yeah new features, new updates blablabla. I just believe that every device is always better with its first software - we all saw and know how Apple does, i dont think that other companies dont do something like this...after masscopy of notches personally i dont have any doubts...why you think samsung "upgrades" this bootloader sh*t? It's the same thing like it was with iphone 4s - no downgrade option, and "upgraded" version of fw forcedly reduced the work of processor and other performances - you forced to BUY new one. Same politics in Samsung.
Well, for me marshmallow is better than all others in using S7 - it's faster and bugfree than nougat or oreo, yes it's oldy and even some basic performance features not exist, but still android 6 is the best for S7. I used custom roms but they are really buggy, badly buggy, definitely not a choice for everyday using. Oh i missed the days with nexus phones...not pixels.

[SM-T590] Which firmware/rom to install in SM-T590?

Hi,
I want to root it but I can't find the boot.img for the firmware I have, so I wonder if I should install a newer firmware (software update says it has the latest one... but is nowhere to be found)
So my question is, if I want to install a newer firmware, based on what should I choose it?
should it be by the region I'm in?
thanks
This is a link to the boot image for OXM_XAR version (North America). If your device says 'no updates' then you won't find a newer file to download. If this *isn't* the version you have, search for the latest of your version and extract the various images (that's where this image came from). Cheers

the one I have is:
M1AJQ.T590XXUOARF8
which I can't find anywhere, maybe is because is from April 2018.
That's why I was thinking if it would be possible to install a newer firmware, which I can download from some websites, and so I'll have the right boot.img
But I'm not sure if I'll end up breaking the device... or what firmware should I choose (in case it's harmless to install it).

thank you for pointing to that thread, although kies3 and smart switch didn't actually gave me much help, I didn't know about the app "Phone info SAMS", which gave me the data I needed... I still can't find the firmware I have in order to modify the boot.img, but at least I know what country code is (UK-BTU) so I'll try to install the one I found in updato.
