It doesn't exist outside Motorola yet. You have to flash the first Nougat official update via Fastboot and then only shall you be able to update via ADB or Recovery to the latest version.

Thank you men

Not getting OTA after flashing Jan patch and the May patch as well. G5 Plus XT1686.

Flashed the NPN25.137-35 (Jan patch) stock rom on my moto g 5 plus to unbrick my phone. Went well but after booting, I'm not getting any OTA updates.
Flashed a newer version of the firmware - POTTER_NPNS25.137-35-5 (May patch) by following a video. Still not getting any updates.
PLEASE HELP!

Please reply guys!

I explain you based on my experience: You will never receive any more OTA as you don't have in sync the OEM partition. The OTAs check the "build.prop" in SYSTEM and the "oem.prop" in OEM. A lot of firmwares here for flashing your device lacks the OEM partition.
So, try to reflash a full firmware.
I hope it helps you!

I flashed the Brazil ROM (.15 version) on my G5 Plus and got the OTA update to the .67 version. After installing the update, the device went into a hard bricked state. No bootloader. Only the LED blinks when the device is connected. Tried reviving the bootloader using blankflash but it fails each time I try.

Yeah, attempting to downgrade from the retail US May 2017 patch (NPNS25.137-35-5) to the Indian/Brazil .15 firmware and then attempting to take OTA updates has caused hard bricks previously.
Which blankflashes have you tried? Does the albus (Moto Z2 Play) blankflash work? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73062532&postcount=15 I do not know if any of the Moto Z Play blankflashes may work (given the similar hardware) or may not depending on how new they are.

Oh hey it got fixed. Flashed the debloated and deodexed ROM for the g5 plus. This is the ROM that's advised to flash after a hard brick, for this phone. And yeah I used the Albus blankflash. It worked successfully!

Good to hear you got your device working. I imagine you could flash the TWRP flashables if you wanted a more updated system (since these flashables don't affect the GPT/bootloader, where the majority of the hard bricks seem to arise): https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/development/rom-twrp-flashable-stock-builds-t3675616

You'll find all needed information in the first part of this tutorial (just skip the rooting part):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/how-to-root-moto-g5-plus-t3579659/post74673573
Remember to flash your last used stock firmware or a newer one, available latest firmwares for reteu/retus are 93-4 (january security patch) and 92-8 for retin (march security patch). There's also a tutorial to relock your bootloader if you wish to:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5...der-moto-g5-plus-indian-t3638835/post73082304
It has to be said that a lot of users coming from 64bit custom ROMs are losing their voLTE, 4G or even IMEI when returning to stock.
If you have a nandroid backup of your stock ROM (you better have one) restore it, that would be the safest way. Or at least restore the EFS partition.
If you don't have a nandroid make one of EFS from your custom ROM and restore it if you run into one of the mentioned problems after flashing your stock firmware.

Edit.
Correction: Indian firmware is named 92-8 for march security patch not 93-8 which is for europe and US.

Do you know if i can relock bootloader. I unlocked it while i was on 93-8 reteu, that firmware is not available anywhere, i have full nandroid backup of it but when i restore stock firmware i still can't unlock bootloader? Is my only way to wait for 93-8 firmware to come up?

Yes. Without the firmware you are going to flash (or restore) there's no way to relock the BL.
You could try to use the indian variant which is uploaded (92-8) but that may cause trouble, the inability to receive and install future OTA or other software related issues.
The best way should be waiting for the 93-8 firmware.

bootloader unlock Can You Receive Updates via Ota or No?

I am curious about these issues, my question is the following when I unlock my Bootloader I can do an update via OTA when it arrives on my device? Or is my phone going to have Hard Brick?
I want to give a Downgrande on my smartphone but it is still in stock without any modification. And through the tutorials I read ask for the unlock Bootloader. My intention is to only downgrade. A friend of mine gave the following idea: "unlock the bootloader to then downgrade and after it has been successfully done." I search how to lock the bootloader again using CMD to put a system with the bootloader locked and so in the future I will be able to receive updates via Ota. " Does This Worker Ideas In Practice?
This my Frist Post here If I make a mistake, tell me, we will not repeat.:fingers-crossed:

When it comes to being able to receive updates when bl is unlocked, that's a yes, it will work fine and won't affect your phone's functionality.
On the other hand downgrading is generally a bad idea. The problem is, when you update your phone your bootloader also gets an update. All parts of the OS except for the bootloader can be downgraded to a previous version, and if you do that, the downgraded OS can function normally on the newer bootloader.
Now comes the tricky part. If you try to do an OTA on a downgraded OS with a new bootloader, the OTA will treat the bootloader as if it were the old one, and will overwrite parts of it that it shouldn't, which will corrupt it. And there you have a pricey paperweight.
The only way of updating a downgraded device is to flash it clean with a newer version (or the version same as the bootloader).
Now what is the reason you'd want to downgrade?

My bootloader is unlocked.
I wanted to upgrade to the latest firmware and because I was rooted I flashed the firmware I was on at that moment (no down - or upgrade) again and after that I was able to apply and install every single OTA up to the latest. I could have flashed the latest Oreo firmware directly too but I wanted to test this way and to update by flashing latest firmware would have been possible after that too.
So updating via OTA with an unlocked bootloader was no problem for me.
In the end you get the unlock code from Motorola itself and it would be kind of strange if they won't deliver updates anymore for a feature they provide for their devices.

I am planning on to unlock bootloader only will I continue recieving official updates from Samsung and able to install them (not flashing that, OTA ones). I am not going to install custom recovery or kernel or even custom rom. Will it work that way?

Need help to go back stock

Hi,
i have unlocked my bootloader while i was on POTTER_RETAIL_8.1.0_OPSS28.85-17-6 . I installed twrp and a custom rom and that's fine. Now i want to go back to stock but i apparently can't because the latest firmware i can find on the internet is the OPSS28.85-17-4 and when i try to follow the guides it says i am downgrading the security patches. How can i solve this problem? Do i have to simply wait for the 17-6 firmware to be leaked? :crying:
Edit: I have a xt1687

You can just flash a twrp zip till the firmware is available

You can try Lenovo Motorola Smart Assistant:
https://support.lenovo.com/de/de/downloads/ds101291
It should find the latest security patch for your device and save in on your PC.
You can fastboot flash it than.
Btw, it's not that bad to be on 17.4 because 17.6 is the last official security patch/update that Lenovo will release at all.

Thank you. I used the lenovo motorola smart assistant and i managed to download the latest stock rom for xt1687 which is POTTER_OPSS28.85_17_6_cid50_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml.
I don't know if i can post the image here but you can do it the same way i did. Plug the phone to your pc with the lenovo desktop app installed, enable usb debugging and go to flash. From there select manually from rescue the device and then go to fastboot. It will show the latest official image present in the phone ( even if you have a custom rom) and simply download it. When it finished don't press rescue and the image will be in
C:\ProgramData\LMSA\Download\RomFiles . If this is a repost of any kind i apologize.

You're welcome and thank you for sharing your experience. You are allowed to share that firmware, just zip it and load it up to one of the known hosters like Dropbox or similar. But you're also right, should be possible for everyone else to do the same that you did.

IMO it's a shame that Lenovo has stopped supporting this phone only after two years! IMO the phone is great for it's price/performance. These short planned obsolescence is ecologically harmful. I am certainly not planning on replacing this phone unless there is another in the price range that is quantum leap better, or until 5G is ubiquitous.
