Yeah, there is nothing special you need to do... just flash the latest Magisk or SuperSU zip file.
The method you linked, was only accurate for about a month or so in 2015 until SuperSU got updated and we understood how systemless rooting works, it doesn't even apply to Moto X devices with Marshmallow now., and hasn't since the end of 2015.

OK!
I use the latest SuperSU zip file (SuperSU-v2.82-201705271822), and is working. Before I was trying with older one.
Thanks a lot
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Flashed a newer version of the firmware - POTTER_NPNS25.137-35-5 (May patch) by following a video.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

It's been inside the stock rom zip(which you need to unpack like mentioned here to flash stock rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 ) and named recovery.img but you can't download it seperately.
What stock rom version do you have?
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<>.

Thank you. What in case I'm unlocked and in order to use google pay I need custom recovery and flashing magisk. How do i get back to stock oreo recovery then? I know it's a bit of offtopic, but maybe you can help me.
Hi,
i have unlocked my bootloader while i was on POTTER_RETAIL_8.1.0_OPSS28.85-17-6 . I installed twrp and a custom rom and that's fine. Now i want to go back to stock but i apparently can't because the latest firmware i can find on the internet is the OPSS28.85-17-4 and when i try to follow the guides it says i am downgrading the security patches. How can i solve this problem? Do i have to simply wait for the 17-6 firmware to be leaked? :crying:
Edit: I have a xt1687
You can just flash a twrp zip till the firmware is available

You can try Lenovo Motorola Smart Assistant:
https://support.lenovo.com/de/de/downloads/ds101291
It should find the latest security patch for your device and save in on your PC.
You can fastboot flash it than.
Btw, it's not that bad to be on 17.4 because 17.6 is the last official security patch/update that Lenovo will release at all.

Thank you. I used the lenovo motorola smart assistant and i managed to download the latest stock rom for xt1687 which is POTTER_OPSS28.85_17_6_cid50_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml.
I don't know if i can post the image here but you can do it the same way i did. Plug the phone to your pc with the lenovo desktop app installed, enable usb debugging and go to flash. From there select manually from rescue the device and then go to fastboot. It will show the latest official image present in the phone ( even if you have a custom rom) and simply download it. When it finished don't press rescue and the image will be in
C:\ProgramData\LMSA\Download\RomFiles . If this is a repost of any kind i apologize.

You're welcome and thank you for sharing your experience. You are allowed to share that firmware, just zip it and load it up to one of the known hosters like Dropbox or similar. But you're also right, should be possible for everyone else to do the same that you did.

If anyone wants the stock firmware for xt1687 US version (4/64) OPSS28.85_17_6 this is it. I take no responsibility if this causes you any damage , hope it helps anyone. https://www.dropbox.com/s/pah5x5g1h...y_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip?dl=0

IMO it's a shame that Lenovo has stopped supporting this phone only after two years! IMO the phone is great for it's price/performance. These short planned obsolescence is ecologically harmful. I am certainly not planning on replacing this phone unless there is another in the price range that is quantum leap better, or until 5G is ubiquitous.
