Flashing back to stock - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

Can someone link the stock software for the north American 2gb version?

Pretty sure the 2GB and 4GB models use the same firmware, as long as you use RETUS firmware your good. All the firmware we have is posted here or on https://firmware.center

As far as I know, the latest US retail firmware build is NPN25.137-83, which is present in the link provided by acejavelin. Double check the name to confirm if it's the Amazon prime (should have AMZ in the name, which should be the same as your software channel and be the device with adverts on the lock screen) build or the retail builds. As with flashing anything, double check it's the build you require.

what is the good stock firmware for my xt1622

Hi,
I need help to find the good full firmware for my xt1622 non amazon device.
When i go to filefactory i have a doubt which firmware is the good one:
I found this : XT1622-XT1624_ATHENE_MPJ24.139-63_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip.
Or this: XT1621-XT1622-XT1642_ATHENE_MPJ24.139-23.4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip.
I don't understand why there is "subsidy" in the firmware name, is it for the amazon version?
Thanks
The first one I have used it on my XT1644 US device, so I assume that the second one is for your model.
PS: They are subsidy-DEFAULT as opposed to subsidy-[WIRELESS COMPANY NAME]. "Default" is for factory unlocked devices.
Thank you.
And what mean "regulatory" ?

Is there a full firmware available for the US version's latest NPNS25.137-35-5

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)?
G5 Plus (potter)
NPN25.137-15 (India), updated to NPN25.137.67 (March security patch)
NPN25.137-33 (EU?) - updated to NPNS25.137-33-5 (May security patch)

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.

So which one you recommend?
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!
dayask said:

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.

Latest stock version for EU devices - OTAs and security updates

Hey, can anyone provide and confirm which version of the stock firmware fits EU devices best? I bought used device with custom rom on it, and I'm curious which version should be base for my EU (german) device to get legit OTAs and security updates for my region? I'm a bit confused, because I couldn't find any proper adnotation for each firmware out there.
In other words, which stock rom versions will be suitable for European retEU XT1685 Moto G5 Plus? I don't want to mess something up if some stock firmwares are not meant to be flashed on EU device.
Please cleanse my concerns.
Cheers!

I see, so you started from flat NPNS25.137-33? How about the -67 version on EU devices, as it fixes some issues ie with camera recording?
Thats only on retin, this is the latest on reteu.
Hmm I installed myself -35 version before, in settings i had retEU, but couldn't get any ota updates and was on january securities.

Choosing the right stock firmware

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.

T387AAUCS3CUD1 Firmware for SM-T387AA (Samsung Galaxy Tab A)

Hi!
Does anyone know where I can find the T387AAUCS3CUD1 stock ROM? I'm trying to fix a unit that I may have messed up by tinkering with custom ROMs.
Anyone?
Still nothing?
Hi also searching high and low for T387AAUCS3CUD1.
Any success finding it?
Samsung Galaxy Tab A (T387AA) - Software Update for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A (T387AA) - AT&T
Get Samsung Galaxy Tab A (T387AA) support for the topic: Software Update for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A (T387AA). Find more step-by-step device tutorials on att.com.
www.att.com
ATT is worthless - no support. OTA Android 8 won't update to Android 10. Says already current.
No luck yet :-(
Still no luck.
Someone recently gave me a SM-T387AA, came across this thread while looking for the latest firmware for the device. It does appear that T387AAUCS3CUD1 is the latest for the AA version, which I also was unable to locate. (probably because ATT uses their own servers for firmware instead of samsung) However, while searching, I also came across a newer version of firmware for SM-T387W.
Specifically:
AP VERSION T387WVLS3CVK2
CSC VERSION T387WOYV3CVK2
CSC VTR (Canada)
ANDROID VERSION Q(Android 10)

To my surprise, I flashed the 387W firmware on my 387AA with ODIN and everything seems to be working just fine. Still can't unlock my bootloader though. I see there's also a 387R4 variant. I might try that next, and will report back if I do.
Would this not though prevent a user from being able to use it on AT&T?

I popped in an ATT sim and calls/txt appear to be working.
Oh interesting, I wonder what the difference between the two firmware versions are then?

I used Bifrost. It can pull the latest firmware for most samsung devices that are hosted on samsung servers. Type in the model, "SM-T387W" and the CSC, "VTR", check for update and then download.
