Can anyone tell me what the most current version in for my US Factory unlocked US996 is? Thanks for your help
Officially just 10n which iirc has the November 2017 security patch. Unofficially it can also use the us Cellular us996 firmware (through flashable zip,, or lgup with kdz) which is on the February 2018 security patch. Or if you want to absolutely abandon stock and get further into rooting and roms based you could run LineageOS which is on the March security patch but the second screen doesn't work and neither does HiFi mode.

Thanks Phoenix, I flashed 10N, build # NRD90M with Nov 6th security patch some months ago right after getting the phone. This must be US Cellular firmware and I didn't know it of course. Not carrying the phone around these days but I do still like it and use it as my music player. When (if) Oreo is ever released I'll start using it more again. I have hope... for LG to not upgrade a flagship device at least once is unimaginable (I think, lol). Thanks again

So I cannot find an update for the Moto g4. The software update says it is fully up to date even though it is running Android 6.1.1 when 7.0 is out.
If any info is needed, ask me.
I'm guessing you mean v6.0.1 MM (NPJ24-139.64/65 I think is the latest MM for XT1625 and XT1644 devices)?
If you wanted to, you could flash the fastboot stock ROM for NPJS25.93-14.4 which is the latest update available (v7.0, March 2017 security update):https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 As always, be aware that the update may affect your data (as with any flash to system), back up accordingly.

Are you sure this is for XT1625? It looks like it is for XT1641 and 1645.

It should work, as the NPJS25.93-14.4 build is based on the NPJ25.93-14 (Dec 2016 security patch) build, just updated with the March 2017 security update.
If you wish to be more certain, you can flash the aforementioned NPJ25.93-14 update via the fastboot ROM (from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369) which has XT1625 users reporting it flashes, and then wait for the OTA for the March 2017 security patch (which recent indications suggest it's been deployed in the US), or you could sideload the OTA (after flashing the Nougat 93-14 update) by downloading from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/official-moto-g4-plus-ota-update-build-t3584982
Hopefully, by flashing the Nougat update, OTA updates will arrive again via the retail USA software channel.
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
Stock update
Moto xt1686 got an update right now. Well I am waiting for stock Oreo!

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.

Well done motorolla well done.
Hi guys, I recently read about 7.1.1 being officially released, the thing is I already updated to Nougat via the soak test uploaded last year, should I revert to stock rom and get Nougat officially? How it is on performance quality?, Also, I'm on September security patch, do i have risk of bricking?
If you flash this through fastboot you will get 1 November 2017 security patch without having to downgrade. Then you may get December and February updates

How is your GPS on that firmware? Also, do you know if that firmware will work on the XT1607?

I'm not able to tell you how GPS works because I don't own the phone, I installed it in a friend's phone. And AFAIK it can be installed on all models except Verizon's XT1609. Tell me if it works for you

will it work on xt1607 ?
UPDATE: I will try it, when i get back home.
I was on Oreo 85.13 pre-release...then I unlocked bootloader...and installed pixel experience...but meanwhile I formatted all data which ihave backed up..then I installed twrp flashable with June security patch zip..and I was on Android 7..then I flashed pixel experience..now..if I want to back on Oreo stock and to lock bootloader..what should I have To do...???I heard somewhere you need stock Oreo ROM zip where I can find one...???is that same one which we have used in manually updating to Oreo... please reply...
As far as I know the only stock Oreo zip we have is the OTA, which can't be used to flash firmware. We need the full firmware file before we're able to flash stock ROMs via fastboot.
Anyway, I'm also curious if there are any differences for the unlocking/flashing/backup process starting at the official Oreo we have now, and if going back to it later is the same as it is with Nougat.
The stock US OTA update can be found here: https://technoplanners.blogspot.com...tock-update-for-moto-g5-plus-OPS28.85-13.html
This can be side-loaded to upgrade after you've flashed Nougat with one caveat. Nougat has to be at Build number NPNS25.137-92. If your Nougat ROM has the June security patches (Build number NPNS25.137-93) you'll be SOL since the manifest specifies the pre-req for the update. So the fools at Motorola released the June update for Nougat, then released Oreo at the same security patch level and won't let you apply the update. Real geniuses.

That's not quite correct; the build required for this Oreo OTA that's currently around is NPNS25.137-92-14 (June 2018 security patch for Brazil and Indian devices). The NPNS25.137-93-14 patch you mentioned is the June 2018 patch for EU, US and Asian devices, which means the Oreo patch for those devices isn't around yet.
To the opening poster, as previously mentioned, you will have to wait for the OPS28.85-13 stock fastboot ROM to be leaked. You must lock with a stock firmware as new or newer than your current bootloader. You cannot downgrade bootloaders via fastboot anyway and it's really not recommended to downgrade.
The US patch is available (Blur_Version.28.51.16.potter.retail.en.US.zip). It can be downloaded from the link I provided.
Correction: My bad. Didn't realize "92" indicated India and "93" indicated US. Evidently the referenced download is labeled wrong
I am thinking about getting this phone as it’s on sale now. Is the phone be able to be unlocked and rootable out of the box? What if it’s updated to latest version? Will it still be able to be unlocked and rootable?
Theoretically, yes, you can root, till you are on Oreo with June Security Patch. And you have to pay for that. Nokia had disabled the bootloader unlock vulnerability with the August patch.
My device came with August patch, unlucky me xD.
However, I know one guy who managed to convince Nokia service centre to downgrade his device to Oreo June Patch, back from Pie. He's also rooted and flashed GSI on his 6.1 Plus.
