How to update to official nougat from 1st oct patched soak test??? Please Help! - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

Please Help Urgently!!!!!!
I have updated my Moto G4 Plus (XT1643) from Marshmallow to Androud Nougat's soak test which has 1st October 2016 patch, now since the official update is out with November security patch and also is bugs free i want to update my phone fromt he soak test to the official latest build beacause the soak test with 1st October patch was very buggy.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Appreciate it

I think it is possible if you restore the phone, and when it boots again it does a forced update, looking for possible OTA updates.
I do not know if it would work well, but for trying...

7.1.1 Soak Test for XT1607

I have the unlocked US model XT1607 and it's not the Amazon Prime version. So I'm on February 2017 security patch but my build is MPIS24.241-2.35-1-13 and that's not the build number I need to be on. I need to be on build number MPIS24.241-15.3-16
I have the 7.1.1 update file. I apply update from SD card in recovery and it sits there like it's working and then it aborts but before that it says something that I can't quite remember.
I want to unlock my bootloader but I don't have internet in my house so it's just this device. Seems like it might be tedious to go back and forth. I'll probably just do that if no one can help me here especially since 7 people have read this and given no help yet.
Does anyone elses Moto G4 Play have the February security patch but not the right build number that required to update the soak test? Please can someone help me? Unlocking my bootloader is only if I can't get this to work. Surely I'm not the only one that has a different build number than everyone else with the February 2017 security patch. Please can someone help.

Ya know, you have posted the same question multiple times in different threads over the past 24 hours. Enough! Your situation by no means warrants this level of noise. You'll get a response if someone has something meaningful to contribute. Silence also conveys a message ...
It's a real big issue for me man. Sorry. But have you ever heard about security patches with a different build number ever!?
Are you sure you downloaded the XT1607 OTA soak? because the only one I have seen is for the XT1603 and won't work.
Blur_Version.26.21.8.harpia.retail.en.US.zip
If you want to keep your bootloader locked, I would caution against flashing the 7.1.1 soak and wait for the official OTA to make it to the US for your current build (or be willing to wait for a fastboot 7.1.1 stock ROM).
As eager as you are, there's little evidence I've seen suggesting the leaked soak test is the version that Motorola will deploy in its public release of 7.1.1. It might turn out the soak test is the actual build Motorola will release - if it's not, then if this is flashed you may not receive OTA updates. As I understand it, Motorola is pushing soak test updates only to those registered with its Motorola Feedback Network (where they have your IMEI to track what update you've received). Thus, if you flash this soak test and it subsquently arises that further updates are needed to bring you back onto the offical OTA update patch, if those updates haven't been captured by someone on XDA, you're stuck with the soak test unless a newer fastboot stock ROM is available. I've seen this with the Moto G4/Plus update to Nougat (where users flashed NPJ25.75-2 and were not receiving the OTA to the final Nougat build, and had to flash the fastboot stock ROM to be back on the OTA update path) and also am seeing it with the Moto Z Play with their Nougat update.
Motorola has in the past released different versions of their updates for different territories, and soak tests from some test regions (e.g. Brazil, India) have not flashed onto devices because their builds have been different. E.g. with the Moto G4/Plus, the Indian Nougat soak test was flashable on EU devices (with the July 2016 patch, MPJ24.139-63) but not flashable on US devices with MPJ24.139-64, same security patch. A subsequent official Nougat update was flashable on US devices.
At the end of the day, it's your device and your choice, personally I'd wait for the official update. Additionally, with the soak test, it appears to have the June 2017 security patch. With this security patch, on the Moto G4 Plus at least, attempts to downgrade from the June 2017 update have resulted in hard bricks (and not recoverable by a blank flash). I do not know if this will happen on the G4 Play (I have a G4 Plus, and as such it's up to you how much of what I've written you take on board), but I really wouldn't risk downgrading.
Good luck whichever way you choose.

What is the latest MM 6.0.1 security patch for XT1562?

Hello,
What is the latest security patch for MM 6.0.1 on the Moto X Play (XT1562)?
I currently have system version 24.211.11.lux_reteu.reteu.en.EU reteu, and security patch date January 2017.
Is this the last one, or is there a newer one? If so, where can I get it?

Last and final patch was released on Jan 2017.. There wont be any further updates for Marshmallow.. You can either wait for official release of Nougat 7.1.2 (which is still in soak test) or switch over to Nougat Custom roms.

Moto G5 Plus Updates

Has this phone received ANY updates? When I run Motorola's update through the Android Settings app, I'm told the phone is up-to-date, but the phone is still running Android 7.0 with a 1/1/17 security patch... is this some kind of joke?
My updates are from September. Not sure what's going on with your updates. You can manually update via fastboot or TWRP if you aren't getting them...

How do I do this?
The UK finally got the May security patch a week or so ago and when i asked Moto UK about updates they were a little terse with their answer.
I have loved my Moto phones since owning a Moto Defy but i have been looking at Nokia handsets and they seem very good for the money and with the promise of timely updates.
There's a thread in here somewhere with all the firmware links for TWRP. Those are all flashable if you have it. If not, there's another thread with fastboot firmware. Just gotta find which you need and get cracking
Hello,
I bought my phone on Ocotber 2017 and i haven't received any updates yet. My latest security patch are from August 2017.
Is this normal?
Thank you

Yes, I believe the August 1st security patch, Android 7.0 is the latest update for the US variant. Build number is NPN25. 137-83.
I got mine from Amazon UK and it's on the august patch.
It's dual SIM, that might make a difference?
I have the Amazon Prime exclusive version (U.S. XT1687) with 7.0 (NPN25.137-83), Security Patch 8/1/2017

Yep. I'm on RETUS and that is the latest version.
i am using Indian variant and having 1st November 2017's security update.
Can anyone drop the link to download august build stock rom for xt1686
Hello, thanks for the feedback.
5 months without any security update, that's a lot of time.
Mine is on reteu, NPNS25.137-33-11.
Just talked to motorolla on the chat and they said that don't know when the next security patch will be available. For a phone that has release last year on February, the support/updates should be more active. A little bit disappointed with that.

Motog5 November 01,2017 patch update

Security and stability patch through nov 01,2018 received. Has anyone else tried it? Its 2nd patch after august one i think which had a Bluetooth patch fix.
Is this for moto g5 Amazon exclusive Indian varient ??
Yes I bought it frm Amazon India. Why?? What is the difference?
I saw update notification on Lenovo support page for APAC from December and almost broke my update check button, but it says You have latest version . Still on August update, which I got in October...
I have the Moto G5 UK Amazon variant.
I got the same update and d/l it now.
Hopefully, my phone will start working as expected.
This is the 1st update I got since last ~March.
My g5 on the o2gb channel received the November security update last week too. 1st one since January 17
I have moto g5 which is in amzin software channel but i didn't receive any update .the last security patch level update was my 1 August 2017 .is anyone from same channel received the update or not??

Same here in Poland. It looks like Lenovo is pretty slow in Europe.
My 3gb g5 from Amazon on retgb, updated to 1 Nov 2017. I was shocked it received its first update!
Sent from my Moto G (5) using Tapatalk
Seems there are at least 2 variants.
One that got some update in August (Mine didn't)
2nd that got now (Feb) the Nov updates. (Mine - 3GB "exclusive" version by Amazon UK with 2 sims).
I must say - phone seems to work better now.
So - when/where is our Oreo?
Hi
Just recieved the same update for XT1676 RETEU software channel.
Cheers
It was long overdue.. NPP25.137-93 finally here for reteu/ger.. Now it shouldn't take long for January (g5/retbr already got it).
Got it on reteu in Poland.
Got it on reteu (country - Slovakia) today. I can't see some big functional improvements (except camera app update), but phone seems to be generally working faster and it's a little bit more stable also.
I just got this ota update on reteu in UAE
I took an OTA update after my moto G5 had the bootloader unlocked and rooted. Now, it only boots to TWRP menu. The only workaround now is to go to Reboot/Bootloader in TWRP. Once in Bootoader, I can select start to boot normally. What can I do to get the phone to boot normally like before the OTA update.
you need to flash stock included stock recovery to update ota
Did someone already got the January Update?

Only June 1st Security (No Oreo) ?

According to the latest Maintenance Release notes by Motorola.
They only mentioned about June 1st 2018 Security Patch.
No Major update mentioned. :crying:

No need to open the 100th thread about Oreo update. You could have used this one instead:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/official-moto-g5-8-1-oreo-release-notes-t3804632
The release notes regarding Oreo update
https://support.motorola.com/us/en/solution/ms130856
are saying the update is coming with Oreo and with the June security patch for Oreo, not for Nougat. As the soak tests haven't even started it is not expected that Oreo comes to our device before August.

In the release notes of Motorola it says Oreo and June security patch which probably means the security patch for Oreo, not for Nougat.

I am not sure if the soak test even started. So this was expected.
The Oreo will probably come somewhere in the next 2 months.
Gobsmacked, UK has got June update on retgb, normally 3 month's behind reteu.
Motorola must be starting to get their act together, yippee :good:
