Changed firmware on my moto g7 from amazon to retus. Haven't really seen anything confirming this for this phone, but is it possible to change the software channel accordingly, and will it allow for ota updates since its not rooted (no plans to root either) or am I forced to update it manually?

Just wonder if anybody know, I am trying to ask at source (Samsung support) but they do not understand my question or don't want to.
UPDATE:
Just now I received this:
"Further to your recent query, software updates are subject to hardware compatibility and at this moment we have no confirmed details on any planned updates for your device, or whether your device will be receiving the Marshmallow software update.
Therefore, you were advised to ensure automatic updates are enabled so you can receive the latest updates available for your device. "
Cheers.
Sorry, but it isn't
What is it? How does it differ from OK1?
Monthly security updates?
Nope,.. has the same date from 2015 which is odd because that's the reason I went through all the trouble of un rooting for the OTA. Even the Android version is the same as well.
speaking of security updates, anyway to update that manually if samsung is too lazy to push it out?
If it's a carrier specific phone then you can't do anything until they release their version of the update.
Their version meaning: Samsung has to release an update, then the carrier takes it and adds their own apps and bloat, test it (prohably) and then release it.
What's up everyone.
So I recently purchased a S8 from T-Mobile. I received an update however I am not sure if I should update. Due to at some point whenever it becomes available I would like to gain root and custom recovery. I'm afraid if I update I may update to a firmware that disables something that will allow me to gain root. I know it's still early and we may not know just yet. However it's getting annoying. Anyone have any suggestion?
update. we have copied of those firmwares. they ones it came with for preorders.
Greetings devs and members:
I have recently begun using a Moto G5 Plus (XT1687 - N. American SKU) that was never updated (due to being in a drawer someplace).
I know that many things have been unlocked and improved by the devs for this particular handset. My question is simply this:
How should I update it? Should I update it?
Should I go OTA (retus) (currently blocking), or should I bypass everything and go directly to Oreo (using the update file, after a factory reset and such)?
Or, hell should I stick with Nougat right now? It seems that lots of folks are having issues, and I just wanted a more informed opinion.
Thank you.

To stay with Nougat is not a bad choice, it's a well working system.
If you want to get to Oreo just apply all the OTA updates until you're there. No need to do anything else if your device isn't rooted or the system has been tampered in any other way.
Both firmwares seem to work well.
If the phone is not rooted, then OTA updates are the easiest. Make sure the phone is fully charged or plug it in first. Go to about phone, go to check system updates, accept OTAs until it says up to date, which is likely be Oreo. If it stops at -18 the it may take a few days before the phone alters you to Oreo update.
Does anyone know what's new in N910VVRU2CTI1? (the latest OTA the Verizon pushed on Dec2020)
what was updated? and any details?
Verizon says that it "improves the performance of your device." .. does it? and how?
Probably security
I'm curious about it too. Couldn't believe there was an actual update of any kind for Verizon note 4. Probably just a security update as person above mentioned. Have I noticed better performance? Maybe?
