I think wait for some days to receive OTA Nougat bcz i don't think anyone got officially OTA Nougat...
I can confirm this. I had flashed MPJ24.139-63 earlier and received Nougat OTA Update. But since mine was rooted and had TWRP recovery, it failed. So I took the downloaded file and flashed MPJ24.139-63 again hoping I'd get the update. But now it tells my device is up to date.

This is nothing in plain sight for people in the United States as we get the chaft everytime. Good device but thought they followed Googles lead in their device updates. Here is what is received from Lenovo
My name is Mohammed from Motorola E-mail Support and it will be my pleasure to assist you with any concern that you might have. I hope that your day is going great so far.
Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience that we may have caused you.
In this case let me tell you that you can check for updates by going to Settings > About Phone> system updates. If the device says it's up to date, and you have not received the notification update, you should wait until the notification to arrive since it is sent via OTA, by the way let me tell you that we do not send system updates in this case you can also contact your carrier about this issue since they are in charge to send it.
I would also suggest you to please keep checking our software update page periodically:

I can't say for all carriers but I know that most have the final say on when the updates are pushed out. Since they field calls for problems their support people have to be up to speed on each release. Almost across the board you'll see the following when you put in your carrier "This device will be upgraded to the Android 7 (Nougat) release, pending partner support."
It sucks.

How to flash stock MM firmware from latest NPJ25.93-11 Nougat firmware? Please help.
I am also waiting for the N update...I thought moto is good at delivering Android updates... and now I'm running out of patience...
Has anybody received Nougat update on Moto g4 plus in India yet
Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk
I am a beginner and wanted to know if I can iodatey G4 plus with the ota zips available online. My device is extremely new and I don't want to take any risk or void the warranty. Any suggestions! Maybe I could wait for the official update to come? Pls help.

The only way to remain risk free let the update notification arrive and then update from there. Anything else has an element of riskiness involved.
But soak test otas can be flashed if you can bear the risk

Ok thanks!
Is there such a problem with waiting? I mean really? If you are so desperate for an upgrade install a custom ROM. It's not officially released yet and only reports of soak tests are not through Motorola. Please be patient. It's better to have it right than not.

My thoughts exactly. I can see the point if someone wants to install a custom rom, lord knows I've done it enough, but installing a soak test that could kill your real OTA or contain bad code, borders on ridiculous. If you don't have a chance of receving Nougat then I'd go for it, but AFAIK, all the G4's are going to get it. I actually had an official soak test on a previous phone and it killed my final ota.
So as the title suggests. I bought my phone 2 months ago, and since I got it it hasn't updated once. Nothing, not so much as a security patch or anything.
I've tried googling this but nothing comes up. I obviously check via system update - and it says it's up to date.
My build number ends 137-33.
Android security patch 1st January 2017.
It's not rooted. And all stock.
Is this normal?
My phone came with same build and you're not alone. Twiddling thumbs may help with the long wait, or root and try some custom ROMs. I've got the June 5th security patch running CyberOS which is based on Android 7.1.2 and other custom ROMs are similar. There's a debloated stock ROM based on India's G5+ update (they got one already) with the March patch at least. That said, there are rumbles ours is finally coming soon if you do want to remain stock and get the OTA.
What does it say under Settings > About Phone> Software Channel?
There hasnt been an update for the UK Moto G5 Plus yet.

I asked a similar question in a separate thread and maybe you know, is the update 137-35-5 that is available as a zip able to be flashed over this same build, 137-33 I have now? I unlocked my bootloader but stopped short of flashing twrp or rooting. I think the 35-5 update only has the May security patch only but someone uploaded the full firmware. Any opinions are welcome.

Yeah, I cannot believe that some regions were being updated months ago to March and subsequently May security patches and the UK is still yet to receive any updates at all. Why do manufacturers make their lives so much more difficult by having such variances by region? A single software version for all regions seems to work just fine for Google and their Nexus/Pixel lines.

Few mins ago Moto pushed February security patch for RETBR.
Download it here:

You need to be on build NPNS26.118-22-2-12 to flash this update!

That will be great. Even though I'll wait for a .xml.zip, on the one hand I accidentally did a downgrade (and I have no idea of the bootloader of September and December patch are different enough to cause bricking with OTAs) and I think my phone is due for a factory reset. It reboots very randomly and even though battery life is great I'm told it should be even better. Let's see if that does the fix
I'm on RETEU, but when I try to use Motorola Device Manager it says that the host is not available because of maintenance... let's hope that they are pushing OREO

Hahahah true, but I'm still hoping for the best outcome
Already available for RETIN and RETUS. I'm guessing this is the last nougat patch, hopefully Oreo is next
If it is the Nougat Feb 2018 security patch, then those that were on the Oreo soak test then downgraded back to Nougat may want to be careful. If you've updated to Oreo previously, then you may still have an Oreo bootloader even if you downgraded to Nougat again. As this appears to be a Nougat OTA update (with a Nougat bootloader), I don't know if flashing this Feb 2018 OTA onto a device previously flashed with stock Oreo soak test firmware may result in a hard brick (as the OTA may overwrite your bootloader), and if it does end in a hard brick, I don't know if the current blankflashes will work on a corrupted Oreo bootloader. I'm hoping I'm wrong on this, but regardless, just be careful.

If the blankflashes in the other thread don't work, then you may either:
1)Have to wait for a newer blankflash to get leaked. These are Motorola internal development tools and as such aren't generally available - as they're also signed by Motorola, we may not be able to make them ourselves. The ones we have either came with the factory stock ROM or a leak from a generous Motorola engineer. You may be lucky and a blankflash may be included if an Oreo factory stock ROM comes out (not the usual fastboot ROM, a full factory image).
2)Have to pay to have your motherboard replaced, which seems to be 60-70% of the cost of a new device as far as I understand, so you may wish to put that money towards a new device instead.
I'm sorry I don't have better news, hard bricks are very difficult to resolve without the proper tools. You may wish to research making a loader image (a partition level copy of a working device, loaded onto an SD card), but it's not a definite rescue method.

It is already mid April and no fix date on the release of Oreo update. I am not very concerned about the security patches but I would love to try out new features before purchasing another device. So, is it better to root and try out new oreo based ROMs or just wait for the update?

hi..if device still under warranty better ignored it..
You should wait for the office release if you are not experienced with flashing and root.
Btw think about the following questions:
1. why do i need a new phone after 2 years?
2. which feature do i really need that my current phone isnt capable to handle nearly the same?
3. If you get a phone 4 free via your provider: Couldnt i save money if i had a cheaper mobile plan?
Regards
Wait for the Oreo update then root or install custom rom. Oreo might be the last major update for S7/edge.

Even if you root your phone,you will be always back to stock,cause stock rom is the most stable fw less bug(for me)
Im suggesting you that you dont need to be rooted,wait for the official release,if you are looking for feature rich phone and can afford to buy latest flagship then go for it,but think about it,technology becoming more advanced and high-tech,so every year upgrade doesnt worth it,id rather wait for s10 or s11,im sure after some years we will have a new technology for mobile phone ?
Thank you all for the replies. Anyway, my phone isn't under warranty and I don't care about securities. Last thing I wanna know is will I be able to receive updates after I root and go back to pure stock.

You won't get any OTA updates. You'd have to download and flash any future updates, in which case you'd have to re root again too.
If you want OTA updates again flash Stock

Maybe because the Sprint Oreo will be using BLv6 so its 2 numbers behind everyone else? lol ... anyone have any thoughts about what the BL-version could possibly be for the Sprint Oreo? ... could they or would they use a BLv4 like everyone else?
that was the Sprint answer

I checked for update today and got 1627.64mb g930pvpu6cre7 Samsung experience 9.0 with oreo.
I haven't gotten an update from Sprint on my S7 since December 2016. I am still on some random Nougat beta version.
I thought a brand new firmware update to Oreo would reset whatever bug was in there causing this, but it looks like one person in my house got the Oreo update and mine is still saying I am up to date when I check manually.
Is there no longer an ODIN for macOS? I thought there was one, but I used it on another Mac maybe 4 years ago when I was on my S3 and rooting it. Doesn't seem to exist anymore.
Just received oreo on my s7 for boost. So far I'm not impressed. I was really hoping for Dolby on this but guess not. The build number is SMG930PVPU6CRE7

On Mac you can use Heimdall to flash the latest Nougat firmware then update through OTA to Oreo. Because there isn't any firmware file yet on Updato or Sammobile.
i manfully updated @ 4:15. they sent it @ 1627.64 mb. still downloading. when I got my att update I tried all the batch root methods for my 935a. saving magisk for last bc I didn't have the boot.img for the cre4 update.
I I only had the "att beta" update from March. long story short it won't boot with the nougat eng.boot. I gave it an hour. I cleared the cache, factory reset, tried to add flash all of the earlier img files I had for oreo, nothing worked. had to flash it back to nougat bra1. I immediately requested the update again. they approved. the next day I attempted to flash magisk 16.4. w/ the modified odin 3.1.3 version. it wouldn't flash. with the cre4 boot.tar in hand, I tried every method on gods green earth to gain some sort of r/w access. it was late, I was tired, I flashed the eng boot. once again it was stuck at the Samsung boot logo. it wouldn't allow me into recovery to push the cre4 update zip. once again I'm back to bra1 nougat. I booted into recovery & updated it from the sd card. when it booted I noticed it wasn't anywhere as clean & polished as the ota I had twice. I've flashed back to brd1 ten times, & requested the ota. after smart switch, I used all the avail windows software I could acquire & kept trying, they won't send it. but they did provide me with a new picture for my samsung account. I'll post it later. gotta check out this 930p oreo.

I don't think Heimdall works on High Sierra or even Sierra anymore.
I'm wanting to move to a SM-930U version of stock android on my 930P. But in struggling to do so for the past couple of weeks I finally figured out that sprint as updated the bootloader to version 5 and most of the firmware images for 930U are version 4 (android 7 nugut). (PU4 vs PU5) which results in a Odin fuse error.
The phone is currently nagging me to go from PU5BQL1 to BU6BRD2. If I understand the nameing convention that would move me to version 6 of the bootloader.
What are the odds I can move to oreo for 930U and avoid the bootloader fuse issue? I think I also understand that as of this posting date a 930U oreo firmware has not been released?

almost zero... asuming that Oreo for "U" Variants step up with BL on this month maybe next one, is something pausible but stepping up two versions in any short time is questionable... but who knows. The best you can do is wait this or the next month for BL update on U variants.
To be clear I'm still on version 5. I will continue to put off the upgrade to 6.
