As the title implies, how do I find a specific OTA update zip?
This post has several update packages such as this alongside others, but as you can see on that post there is no full update package for the latest OS version. I want to understand how the other update packages have been fetched and how I might find the full update packages as well? The purpose is both knowledge and to acquire the boot image for rooting.
In short, how do I find the OTA zips of a specific device?
Device: Nothing phone (1)
Thank you

Hello. Does anyone have a link for download image NPJS25.93-14.4 (XT1626)? Please don't tell me links for OTA update.
As per my reply to your other (same question), we don't have a fastboot image for that version, only 93-14. Whether we'll see one for 93-14.4 or later versions depends on what signed stock ROMs we may or may not get access to.
Hi, everybody!
I have a couple questions and couldn't find clean answers.
I have an unlocked and rooted Moto G5 Plus (XT1683, build number NPNS25 . 137-15-5 - POTTER_BRAZILDSDS_CUST).
As you all may know, after a root process, you're not fully stock anymore.
1 - I have received the OTA August update (NPNS25.137-15-11) and i'm planning on installing it after restoring my device to stock. Since the update may not show up immediately after restoring the device, i'd like to download it and make it a flashable zip or something like that instead of waiting for a update notification that could take sometime to come back again.
Also, I couldn't find this OTA on the internet. How can i do that?
2 - I know I can find stock images/firmware at https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto G5 Plus/Stock/ but I still have some doubts.
As said, my device's build number is NPNS25.137-15. At the link above, the firmware is named as NPN25-137-15. Also, I've found some people talking about NPN25 instead NPNS25. Are they all mistyping or is it really a different Moto G5 Plus version?
About the last NPN25.137-15 (Last updated 10-09-2017) file in the link: Is it the August update?
3 - What's up with all these variants for just one device? NPNS25-137-15, NPNS25-137-13, NPNS25-137-35, NPNS25-137-69. XT1681, XT1683, XT1685 in just one country. What a mess!
I know this questions may sound lame but I couldn't find solid answers and I don't intend to mess anything up. Better safe than sorry, right?
So you are currently rooted, correct?
Install a root file manager and make sure you can access /.
Download the OTA update.
Once it is finished downloading, you will find it in the /cache directory; copy it to your device storage, then to PC.
Since you don't want to take the update right away, reboot into recovery and wipe /cache; this will remove the ota file from /cache so that you don't accidentally auto update.
If you would be so kind, please upload the OTA and share the link.
I can make a TWRP flashable zip with it, as I have with other recent OTA files:

*edit*
You said your current build is NPNS25.137-15-5?
The closest available fastboot file available currently is NPN25.137-15, which means that I would also need the OTA file from NPN25.137-15 to NPNS25.137-15-5 for the current file to be of any use.
You could use the fastboot file to flash back to NPN25.137-15 and pull that OTA, or maybe even a larger OTA that goes from NPN25.137-15 directly to NPNS25.137-15-11.
Hi, thanks for your help!
Yes, i'm rooted and on NPNS25.137-15-5 right now. I'll upload the OTA file tonight when i'll be in no rush!

-That means that NPNS25.137-15 is an updated version from NPN25.137-15?
Anyway, i'll upload the OTA file tonight!

So it's been a while since discussion about this specific model, but I was wondering if it would be at all possible to root this with Magisk?
Since Magisk can apply root by patching boot image file, I figured it could technically be possible since in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j3-2016/help/galaxy-j3-sm-j320vpp-configuring-cdma-t3414049
There is a link to a flashable ZIP to "access GSM" with this model phone, found here:
https://mega.nz/#!mtNEibLa!NmVJ7RM0fSDwXdD3CTKi0fVQgYdIMP6m8THRQLyJQRw
The interesting thing about it is that ZIP contains a boot.img file, so what I was wondering, would that the stock boot image file needed for Magisk?
There isn't much information about what's supplied in that ZIP nor have people mentioned it's use or anything, but I was wondering if it could at all be tested to possibly work. Or if whatever is in that ZIP is even the stock firmware.
I can't necessarily test it myself since I need my phone however, can anyone verify the contents of the ZIP or boot.img? It would be a pretty convenient if this was all it takes.
Without root I doubt you will be able to flash anything that isn't an official Samsung firmware update. And depending on which branding your device has,you may not even be able to flash firmware of any type whether it be an update or full firmware. Some carriers insist that Samsung fully lock down the bootloader thus completely crippling the device. U.S. carriers doing this are various. Especially if it is pre-paid. Best advice is to research any device before you purchase it. See if root has been achieved. If not and that device has been out for some time. Avoid it. Pick a device you know has gained root from among the choices offered by any carrier. It would seem you have one of the many locked bootloader turd phones put out by Verizon,Sprint,TRACTURD and so forth. Locked bootloader that won't recognize any flash that isn't signed. Odin or not the flash will fail. Time to flush that turd and find a better alternative.

Hi all, I have an XT1575 version P3C and it works great but is saying there are no software updates available despite being stuck on MPHS24.49-18-4 which, as far as I can tell, is one Android 6.0 security update behind and also missing the big update to Android 7.0. I downloaded the .zip for the Android 7.0 OTA and tried flashing it via the recovery but it didn't work since I'm coming from the wrong version. Is there any reason my device won't "see" the newer OTAs? Is there an intermediate .zip I need to download and install via recovery to get it to the version required for the 7.0 update? As near as I can tell this phone is totally unmodified with a locked bootloader. No TWRP or root.
Thanks.

Will those zips be flashable through my stock bootloader from the internal storage, or is the ADB/fastboot option the only way to go? All of these "flash a stock ROM" tutorials seem to be assuming I have rooted/BL unlocked/TWRP/etc.'d my phone when that isn't the case. I'm just trying to easily go from one stock OS to a newer one.
EDIT: I'm an idiot. I didn't see the how-to. Thank you for the succinct informative post.
So the version of the firmware I have is 11.0.054 which is a fairly old global firmware. It's really bad and I really want to update but since I don't own a PC my only option is to go through the process of manual installation of these ZIP packages...
The problem is though, I can't find the update files anywhere. I need 211 and so on until I get to 350.
Any idea where to get them?
Sorry the only file i can found for update.zip Ota start from 11.0.284.
You can look on 4pda

Edit: i found your post on 4pda so my help is useless......... No ota by now ?

I guess your bootloader is still locked. You have 2 options to upgrade to latest roms, both will involve wiping all data on your phone, so backup first:
- without unlocking BL, you can flash official ROM files with QPST. This will bring you to latest version and remain 100% stock; hence you will get future OTAs
- Unlock BL and flash any rom you want using fastboot or TWRP. This will give you the flexibility to swap rom versions, in most case you will be able to go from CN to ROW without wiping data. But you won't get OTAs. For all future upgrades you will need to flash with TWRP manually.
Before hand, you will have to choose whether you want CN (11.1.105) or ROW (11.0.350) rom.
You'll find walkthroughs here or using google.
