Moto G5 New Update (March) - Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello,
Motorola started distribiuing March security update for our Motorola G5. I got it yesterday. Reteu - Poland.
Check it out on your Moto phone!

If I'm right that's the second security update this month? I got Jan 1 security update about 2-3 weeks ago

I got it too in France thismorning, hope it will be soon oreo's one

Motorola could be lying about the security updates just to make you feel like they are doing something.
A report has shown alot of manufacturers are pushing out security updates when in fact nothing has changed. (It shows march security patch when the patch hasn't been applied)
Obviously it's unknown if this phone has really been patched or not without someone with the knowledge breaking down the firmware but it's amazing companies actually do this
Here is the article

You can kinda verify your device's patch state with SnoopSnitch app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.srlabs.snoopsnitch

I've received march update 1 week ago, and I tested it with SnoopSnitch and the patch is complete, my motorola is Moto G5 XT1671 channel tigco Colombia

Same for Spain, I got those two in the past few weeks

I recieved this update on retbr channel 3 weeks ago.

Just appeared this morning on retgb channel, in the UK. On a XT1676.

Has anyone tried using this new android update to revive the bike g5 xt1672 with brick led? I can enter the bootload but at the time of transferring the rom it presents error in the security signature. Help me please?

Still in the November 2017 patch. Is there any problem 2ith my phone

International version getting security updates?

Mine is still at Feb level. I didn't get the April one at all. It's announced May one is coming or has come out. But when I checked, no new update. So what version of xc are the security updates for?

French version received May security update this week.
It depends on a region of firmware. Some countries already got the lastest May patch (2.69), but some are not.

Recieved the new update a few minutes ago, right now it is installing on my device in germany
In France, they skipped march/April but push May's patch last week.
Same in Spain, unlocked phone and no security updates since february.
Edit: Today it updated to April's security , i was expecting may patch but its fine...

Not getting OTA updates for Nokia 6 (TA-1201) India version

I got the phone with June security patch. And I'm not getting any OTA update for the latest version. How do I update my phone to the latest version??
It's 1021 not 1201.
If you've just got the phone, then don't worry you'll get it soon. I got it 1 or 2 days late as well. Keep checking regularly.
Bought my phone 12 days back. Checking regularly but still to no avail.
Keep checking, it'll come.
my phn coms with june update.. and aftr first boot i gt the july n aug update... and few days ago i gt septmbr patch s well... it depnds on carer and may be state... m using jio!!!
Yeah you are right mj_arafat, there's something wrong. Because I bought this phone about 2 months ago. And I'm still on June update.
I didn't receive July, August or September updates.
I've got Australian version TA-1033.
Still not getting the update. Do I need to visit the service centre to get the update or can anyone tell me how to manually update the system.
October update
Still I didn't get the October update .....
You can try this.
http://www.teamandroid.com/2017/10/1...droid-712-ota/
This is how you manually update, if you don't want to wait for OTA or are not getting any OTA.
Don't update manually...as it's very risky we don't have any flash tool available right know to flash the stock ROM if anything goes wrong...
I using Nokia 6 from 24 aug... Normally update comes between 20 to 25th of every month.. so i recommend to wait ...
Yeah I forgot to mention that. We have seen some people who ended up with problems so it is risky.
I have the UK bought TA-1033 variant. Got till September security patch. Waiting for the 7.1.2 + October security patch.
Didn't get October patch or 7.1.2 update..
Stuck on September update too.
No 7.1.2+october patch
TA-1021 India
I'm still stuck on June patch. What needs to be done??? Any suggestions
Anybody in India having TA-1033 got update ?
Try this
Try sticking a different SIM from a different operator in the phone. I'm on Vodafone and put an O2 SIM in and within 30 seconds it found the update.
I just have get the august update

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
Stock update

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

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?

[NEWS] OTA OPSS28.65-36-6 was received today

Hay guys!
I am glad to report that today I received the update OPSS28.65-36-6 via OTA.
Around 75MB, it's just a patch.
December 1, 2018
Android 8.1.0
I live in Argentina and my baseband is RETAR.
What phone do you have? The G5+ is on the OPSS25.85 series. I think G5S is on the series you have posted.
Well, i received December security update today, but my phone is RETBR so is probably why my version number is different, here some screenshots.

Thanks for posting those screenshots. You're definitely on the right builds for Potter. I guess we can start expecting further rollouts of the December patch soon.
