Can anyone share the latest full firmware for reteu? - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hi, I want to relock the bootloader in the Moto G5 Plus and the problem is that there is no download available for the full NPNS25.137-93-8 firmware, and I can't relock the bootloader if I flash an older version than what the phone currently has. I need to relock so that the phone passes SafetyNet, as I want to give it to my mother so she can use it without any trouble. Can anyone upload the firmware? Thanks.

You can flash an older stock firmware, I already done last week with NPN25.137-33.
The phone is rooted? If yes, have you unrooted correctly?
Already tryed to relock? How and with what kind of result?

It's unlocked but not rooted. When flashing an older firmware it will complain that the security patch version is lower, then refuse to lock when I try to do so, with something like "still need signed boot.img".
Can you give me a step by step process of how exactly you flash an older firmware than the current one and then relock the bootloader? I'd really appreciate it.

If the opening poster formally updated their device to NPNS25.137-93-8, then you need that firmware build or newer to re-lock, else the bootloader would reject the re-lock (the flashing firmware is too old to re-lock the device). Furthermore, although you can re-flash older stock firmware, attempting to flash NPN25.137-33 onto such a device (with the March 2018 firmware update) would be a bad idea, as attempting to use OTA updates would likely cause a hard brick.
To the opening poster, I've not seen the NPNS25.137-93-8 firmware on Android FileHost or firmware.mirror, hopefully someone can capture the firmware or newer firmware (now the April patch appears to be out too) and upload it to XDA.

Him already have this firmware, is untouched! Only unlocked.

I've done this with my RETEU at least 3 times! In november, in january and last week and every time after the flash of original firmware (found in this forum) I applied successfully ALL available OTAs.

I've a backup of every partition of that firmware (both RETEU and RETAPAC) both are near 5GB. I'm not sure which partitions you need because I dont want to relock so can't try

Seriously, it won't let me unless it's an equal or newer version. If you really have a backup of that firmware, you'd basically save my life if you uploaded it. I'd basically need every partition, and I guess it should be in .img format (and the system in img_sparsechunk). If you did that... I wouldn't know how to express my gratitude. Really.

Generally, you'd have to re-flash with the stock firmware with the OEM lock commands if you want to re-lock your bootloader, which would wipe your data in re-locking your bootloader.
Hmm, that's curious though - can I ask for the full build name of the firmware you're using to flash and what your getvar info is please?
To get the getvar info:
Boot your device to the bootloader, attach to your computer via USB.
In the ADB terminal, type 'fastboot devices' without quotes.
If you get a serial response, then type 'fastboot getvar all' without quotes.
Post the output here without your IMEI.
The getvar info should show you your device details, I'm just curious about your device and how you can flash the older stock firmware without issue.

In case you need more info:
Don't worry, if your files brick my phone I have a EFS backup and I'll just flash the version that I have. It won't let me lock the bootloader with it, but it does let me flash it.
The reason I need the latest firmware is because otherwise the lock command doesn't work. The lock command asks you to flash an official ROM, and refuses to work if said official ROM is not equal OR newer to the latest you have had on your phone. I know it sounds convoluted and weird but it works that way. If you tried to lock the bootloader you'd see it. Flashing works, locking the bootloader doesn't. So if you can give me the .img files for the March or April firmware you'll save me.

New OTA Available for Droid Turbo

Small update to build SU4TL-49. Not Marshmallow. Claims "security patches and improved network performance."
How to Update with an Unlocked Bootloader
The update will only work if you have a 100% unmodified stock rom and recovery menu. If you're on CF's rom and you want to update to the latest version of that, see his page for details on how to do that.
1. Backup all data. Just in case. Definitely do this if you're coming from CM13 or RR. I don't remember if the OTA wipes your data or not.
2. Download this SU4TL-44 100% stock flashable zip here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-su4tl-44-100-stock-t3320815
3. Download the SU4TL-44 stock recovery menu here: https://mega.nz/#!L1AkQD4T!qoZIlLa-wuUBLMEi_gE574meiHd6Pehb34a-x3Gb-V8
4. Boot into TWRP.
5. Flash the file you downloaded in step 2 by selecting Install and browsing to the file.
6. In TWRP, select Install, followed by install image, and select the recovery image that you downloaded in step 3. Tell it to flash it to recovery, and flash it.
7. If you're coming from CM13 or RR, do a factory reset in TWRP. If you're coming from a modified stock rom, I still recommend this, but it's not mandatory.
8. Reboot to recovery to confirm that you see the stock recovery menu (a dead android with the words "no command").
9. Boot the phone normally.
10. The OTA update should appear. Take it and let it do its thing.
You now have a 100% stock, bootloader still unlocked, SU4TL-49 phone. If you want TWRP back so you can start flashing stuff again, keep reading.
11. Download and install Sunshine from here: http://theroot.ninja/
12. Download your preferred version of TWRP. The current stable version is here: https://dl.twrp.me/quark/. If you want baybutcher27's modded version that includes lots of handy additional features, you can get that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66877208&postcount=116
13. Download Flashify from the play store.
14. Open Sunshine and follow the instructions until it gains temp root. Disregard the message that says it isn't compatible with SU4TL-49.
15. Open Flashify, select Recovery Image, then browse to the version of TWRP that you downloaded in step 11. Flash it.
16. Reboot to recovery. You should see TWRP's lovely smiling face staring back at you.
How to Install the SU4TL-49 Modem Only
1. [HIGHLY RECOMMENDED] Flash the modded TWRP I mentioned earlier, select backup, backup only your modem.
2. Flash Computerfreek274's modem package that you can get here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24545070682210570
3. If you have GPS or other modem-related issues, try flashing this to fix them: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24531035584725320
4. If you decide you don't like the new modem, restore the backup you made in step 1.
Troubleshooting
Issue: You followed all of the steps, but you still get an error when you try to take the OTA.
Solution: Backup your data and perform a factory reset using the stock recovery menu. You can do this by rebooting to recovery like you do when you want to boot TWRP, and when you see the "no command" screen, hold the power button and press volume up. Then select factory reset and do it.
silly question.
I am with bootloader unlocked and rooted, with stock rom.
My XT1254 show that an update is available .xxxx.49
May I update the smartphone, by itself (no TWRP, that I have installed )
Will it relock my bootloader?

Taking the update is perfectly safe as long as you are unlocked. However, if you are rooted, the update will fail. You must first flash a completely unmodified stock rom.
This will take you back to full stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-su4tl-44-100-stock-t3320815
Thank you. I think it is worth waiting for MM, or full updated rom

Original Motorola DROID Turbo receives a security update from Verizon

Original Motorola DROID Turbo receives a security update from Verizon
3 May 2016, 18:19, by Alan F.
We hate to take all of the fun out of your life, but if you happen to own the Motorola DROID Turbo and you receive the update from Verizon that is heading your way, the phone is not receiving Android 6.0. Better that we shoot down all hopes now before you start believing that the new files contain the latest Android build.
The update brings the latest Android security software to the DROID Turbo and it also adds improvements to call performance. Just because this is the OG Turbo doesn't make it totally irrelevant. Verizon still offers the device as a mid-range handset priced at $480.
Verizon suggests that after receiving the notification that your Turbo has received the update, you make sure that the phone is connected to a Wi-Fi network or a strong Verizon cellular signal before starting the updating process. Also, your battery should be fully charged before you start the update.
On Motorola's support page, it says that the Motorola DROID Turbo is still slated to receive Android 6.0 "pending partner support." Which means that if you still own this phone, you need to keep pushing Verizon to support an update to Android 6.0.

Haha maybe they finally properly patched stagefright. Someone should check that.
My guess is security patch = patched exploit that sunshine uses, mayyyybe patched stagefright if Moto could be bothered to find a dev with absolutely nothing else to do.
Did a restore of the modem backup provided, rebooted phone and everything working as it should. sadly didnt improve my signal any, but thats what happens living in the boonies.
Flashed it on Resurrection Remix 5.6.8 05/08 build
It went fine for me but I backed up my SU44 Modem to be safe, and I wanna remind everyone to do the same, its always wise to be safe

^What St33vo said. Just restore modem from the extracted zip in your twrp folder. Keep it in the Sut49 folder once unzipped so you can select it under restore.
You don't need to wipe caches or anything. Just restore and reboot

Well very shortly before this update was released, people were talking about getting soak test invites. If the soak test was for this update, that's the shortest soak test in human history, and why would you need a soak test for such a tiny update? I'm still hopeful that we'll see a marshmallow soak leak relatively soon.

After flashing phone changed from G4 Plus to G4

I've flashed a stock firmware everyone else flashed. But after flashing, my phone's fingerprint and networks are not working.

Glad that someone acknowledge the issue. There is one more guy here at xda roaming with the same problem. I've tried almost every method possible. Still no luck. But for luck, my service center guy offered a free board replacement for the problem. If xda guys didn help, I would send it for replacement. Mine is also bootloader unlocked and software status modified, but he is okey to offer a replacement.

Which city ?I think you should go for the replacement and then update it via OTA when you get a notification.
Any Solutions Yet ?
Has anyone found any solutions yet !?
It is surely a Software issue
Service Center people are asking Rs.6500/- to replace the motherboard
Can't even relock the bootloader as i flashed the Nougat OTA and thus i can't downgrade the bootloader and lock it either !!

A few things:
1) As long as you are fully updated to the latest stock ROM, OTA updates should not be a problem. OTA updates are usually a problem if you have downgraded your device (like in your case downgrading to Dec 2016 firmware) or not having the full stock ROM, including the bootloader of the same patch level, (i.e. having mixed firmware) flashed to your device. If you really want to, you can use the latest stock ROM to re-lock your bootloader, and providing it's the correct stock ROM for your region/device, you should receive and be able to flash OTA updates without problem (as a locked bootloader will enforce you having firmware matching the bootloader update level).
2)I'm not sure how a minimal ADB/fastboot image is 900+ MB. Unless that mediafire link is pointing to the Android SDK which includes the ADB and fastboot programs, the minimal ADB/fastboot is about 1 MB https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
3)Unfortunately, repairing IMEI and loss of fingerprint sensor is not as straightforward as flashing the stock ROM. You may require the hw, fsg and modem images.

1. if you have unlocked bootloader, you can not re-lock. i think this is the brick's reason. i had installed yes old bootloader file with december 2016 security patch, then came ota update to april 2018 security patch and phone has bricked, as from marshmallow to nougat update while bootloader was unlocked. but i do not know reason exactly, because first time i did stock marshmallow 6.0 rom, then came ota update everything works fine new security patch of 6.0, after that came nougat ota update and phone was bricked
2. yes there is difference between .rar and folder. just extract it
3. if it is hardware issue, rom can not change anything yes

1)You can re-lock your device with the April 2018 stock firmware https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138. You need a stock firmware image as new or newer than your bootloader - we've seen many examples on this stock ROM thread of users re-locking their bootloaders.
The likely reason that you hard bricked is that you did not actually downgrade your bootloader when you flashed the Marshmallow stock ROM. Hence, you still had the Nougat bootloader on your device, which got corrupted when you used the old MM to Nougat OTA.
To re-lock your device, you must use the newest appropriate firmware for your device. Do not flash old stock firmware (including MM) and do not mix your firmwares (do not flash old bootloader files with new firmware). Of course, re-locking your bootloader will not restore your warranty and the process will erase your device, so up to you.

If you have a look and read of the stock ROM initial post https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 in that guide you'll see flashing commands that should let you re-lock your bootloader.
Also, if you want to re-lock your bootloader, check that you have OEM unlocking enabled in Settings>Developer Options (the same toggle you turned on when you unlocked the bootloader in the first place).
So the summary is:
1)Turn on OEM unlocking in Settings>Developer Options.
2)Boot your device to bootloader
3)Fully flash the April 2018 stock ROM (all files must be from the April 2018 stock ROM, no exceptions) as per the flashing commands in the guide, including all the OEM lock commands. This should wipe your device, re-lock your bootloader and let you boot with stock files. Attempting to mix files will cause your lock to fail or your device to not boot, as the firmware you flashed is now being checked by your bootloader to verify it's all from the same firmware.

Lineage OS questions

Let me start out by saying I have spent hours searching and reading about this subject, and can't find straight answers to what I'm asking here.
So search wasn't my friend on these questions.
1)I am not clear on whether or not to install su.zip (arm) after unlocking bootloader and installing latest lineage version. In rahulsnair's post, he has a link for su.zip (arm) download, but then he says a few lines down: don't install any superuser packages.
2)I can't find a clear recent link on what package to install to get the stock N image and modem, the only one I found was dated October 2016 by sam sundar (Blur_Version.24.31.64.athene.retail.en.US.zip), is this the right one?
3)Do I even need to install that, or will the phone auto update to Nougat (moto xt1644)?
4) Will I be able to tether with this rom? (I am still on a legacy Verizon unlimited plan) rahulsnair also said in his post "Go to Settings>Developement Settings>Root access and select "Apps Only"", will this allow tether too?
Thanks in advance.

Someone feel free to correct me on any of these
1) Flash SU.zip or SuperSU (or your root manager of choice) if you desire root. The history seems to be that CM14.1/early days of Lineage OS had root built-in (hence the warning towards the end of the post), but sometime in January the official Lineage team removed built in root access and moved it to a flashable separate zip, meaning you have to install it as an addon.
2)Looks like that file was the soak test from October, I wouldn't recommend installing it as although you get Nougat, it's a dead end upgrade path. You've got a couple of options:
a)Flash the fastboot NPJ25.93-14 Nougat stock update (v7.0, Dec 2016 security update) from https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369. This is as far as I can tell a complete ROM that appears to be signed by Motorola.
b)You could look at flashing the TWRP radio and Nougat files from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4/development/fxz-athene-twrp-flashable-fastboots-t3562147, seems they work.
3) Depends on how long you're willing to wait for Nougat to arrive in the US, there are a few reports of a soak test in the US occurring! https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/nougat-update-apparently-rolling-t3566271
4)No idea about tethering, seems from the official thread it worked for XT1642 (EU/UK Plus) but wasn't on XT1644 devices. You could try though with the newest build. Also, check robot_head's thread on suggestions on how to get Wi-Fi tethering working. https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/wifi-tether-xt1625-t3543061 I think you have to uninstall SuperSU or other root managers if you wish to use Magisk for this, as Magisk takes over root management (as I recall!).
As always, good luck
I'm assuming bootloader needs to be unlocked to use this method? If so, is there a way to apply the latest xt1644 nougat update before unlocking bootloader? Thanks

Which method were you referring to? If it's the update to Nougat, bootloader status doesn't really matter (OTAs may still install if you have a stock recovery/kernel/system with an unlocked bootloader, and the fastboot method will also install if your bootloader is unlocked). For everything else, yes you will need an unlocked bootloader (and thereby voiding your warranty).
You could either wait until the Nougat update arrives and then update via OTA, then unlock, or flash the fastboot ROM before or after unlocking, honestly up to you. So long as your bootloader is the only thing that's been modified, OTAs should be okay - anything else and a fastboot ROM may be required.
Okay, so I got the bootloader unlocked, and I have got the latest Nougat firmware installed (NPJ25.93-14), flashed through fastboot, and I can't get TWRP to install through fastboot, Ive tried two different downloads, please see screenshot.

You've got the TWRP recovery installed, those errors are normal (I imagine because we don't have the right cryptographic keys). At the end of each command, you'll note [OKAY] is present, so the flash worked, ensure you reboot into recovery after flashing to prevent the stock recovery overwriting. Afterwards, TWRP should persist on your device. You may wish to use the adb command 'adb reboot recovery' to accomplish this or boot into recovery via the bootloader.
Got this ROM running, working great! Thanks for all of the efforts!
One but one but I have is: in Phone-settings-calls, when you select calls (to setup voicemail, etc.,), com.android.phone force closes. My device is the xt1644, rom is the Lineage March 06 build. Latest modem (Dec 2016) and firmware were flashed before flashing Lineage. Verizon is the service provider.
One request I have is the ability to turn off Album art on the lock screen. Had that I my Nexus 6 with the Pure Nexus Substratum Rom by Beanstown and others.

No 4 installs the patches boot image right? No 5 install the original one? Do i have to install the unpatched image (unroot) before ota?

No 4 and 5 is correct. You will have to have an unrooted device to install ota's, so if you run the unroot it should work; So as long as your device's system hasn't been modified (eg busybox or non systemless modifications) you should be good to install the ota.

The version is stated in the description. So yes, the August patch. The stock rom is in the Stock_images folder. So it is downloaded when you download the program.

You must run OEM unlock, unlock flashing and unlock critical, then run 4 to root the device. TWRP will cause a bootloop, so follow the instructions in option 6 to avoid it. TWRP is able to be used, but not permanetly installed.

You won't lose data when locking the bootloader, only unlocking. You can OTA update, if you open magisk manager and uninstall (restore the original boot.img). I didn't test this myself, but I will as soon as the next OTA is available.

So basically it is not able to install EU rom on a device with CN rom ?
im wondering why the file ends in .ozip vs .zip maybe thats why?
EDIT: I didn't realize that is a oppo specific update extension,so im not sure why it wouldnt work
maybe unlocking bootloader then flashing via recovery will work?

I would have thought this was expected? The same was the case with the X2. Unless you can fool the recovery somehow in to thinking you're on a global version I would imagine it's unlikely this method would work.
I assume flashing through TWRP with an unlocked bootloader would work but that's not going to work with this proprietary ozip.
I don't think anyone has tried a full twrp system backup and restore from a global phone to a china one though. I'm interested in how that would play out.
Ozip to zip is easy. Done.
BUT, both fastboot flashing and twrp flashing giving errors, because new (EU) system.img and vendor.img is larger than CN versions.
I can go further, try to flash EU recovery and flashing ozip rom. BUT I'm afraid if device is bricked, I don't want to wait for months hoping for a unbrick rom

Hi
I'm in the same situation as you are. Should get my X2 pro these days and am collection information about safe ways to root, because I need my phone as working phone and unfortunately can't take the risk ofbricking the phone or have an unstable installation. As far as I know for shure:
Unlocking bootloader
You need the tool "In-Dept test Tool" on your phone. Read this . You will find a download link there.
Installing TWRP
There is a pre-release version from honorable @mauronofrio. I don't know how big the risk ist to install this. I haven't read anything about people who have experience with this. For instructions read this .
Rooting
Now we are on the tricky point. I have not read anything about succesful rooting. Neither with Magisk nor with SuperSU.
If anyone has additional info or newer info please let me/us know.

Extracted EU rom to system.img + vendor.img + other partitions. BUT the system.img is 5.1GB, CN version is 4.4GB, same for vendor.img, is bigger. Now both fastboot flashing and twrp flashing are giving errors, that there is no space for flashing.
I need help, is there any way to resize those partitions ? (twrp resize does not work).
