Use lenovo moto smart assistant and update your device. If you want your data then take a backup of it in twrp or app only.

After that flash latest TWRP 3.2.3.1 and root it by flashing magisk18.zip like you did with nougat.

How to update from VNS-L21C900B170 to Nougat

Hi there!
I have the P9 Lite (VNS-L21, Single Sim)
Out of the box, it came with branded ROM Version VNS-L21C150B130
I've successfully updated to VNS-L21C432B170 (with dload method) but that changed the version to VNS-L21C900B170.
I don't have any problems with that, the phone runs flawlessly, but i can't update to Nougat.
How can i update to Nougat and what's the suitable version?
Any Help?
Meanwhile, i've unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP, i've flashed oeminfo's form C432, tried a few Nougat Roms but none successful.
(All fail while verification)
Finaly I've rolled back to C432B160 and then updated to C432B170.
From "Software Update" I got notification for updating to C432B370 (1,24GB) but the result is "ND90M Test-Keys".
What am i doing wrong?

So i have to re-unlock the bootloader and install twrp to flash Nougat from scratch.
The problem is that i'm on C432B170 and i get a notification for updating OTA to C432B370 which is 1,24GB and gave me test keys... How can i flash the "hw_data" after the OTA update?
Any answers?

B131 still no Nougat update.

Hi.
I am on B131 and have still not received any Nougat OTA. Is there anyway I can force this?
Thanks.
there is
Dude I must be a sprat not a mackerel. I've slipped through the net.
there's a guide if you want to install it manually, but it requires unlocking the bootloader, and ota's won't work i believe. but, there won't be many ota's anyway, and you could always install those manually as well.
i would send you a link, but it's hard to find it in the mess that is this forum.
If u guys find a link send it to me too please I cannot find any firmware for this model

How to downgrade to stock from soak test oreo

So I installed Oreo soak test on Moto G5 plus which was shared by link over stock Nougat build with august security patch.But i want to go back to nougat with august security patch from this soak test build...How can i do that without bricking and losing imei etc.I have not rooted or unlocked bootlader ever...and yes i read some threads but none of them are matching my current situation ,so please guide me through proper process .
Well I'm in the same situation. And I was having wifi issues. Bt I managed to fix it. From what I've read so far you cannot downgrade the bootloader. So you can flash using fastboot bt leave out the gpt and bootloader commands. I'm not sure if this will let you download OTAs. I haven't tried it out yet. Or if u manage to get the C092 bootloader unlocked ( some people managed) then you install TWRP and flash a stock nougat zip. Or you will have to wait for someone to capture the actual 85-16 OTA , make a zip of it and then update. There was a guide for flashing, it was for g4 series to downgrade from N to MM, the commands should be the same. Hope this helps.
Can anyone share official oreo update zip?Not talking about soak test one.

Checking bootloader version on the phone

Hi, how do I check my current bootloader version that is on my phone? And how do i know what version of bootloader will be in any stock rom i want to flash?
I don't want to overwrite with older bootloader. Need to know the current and the next one i will flash.
My device is from Europe and I have NPN25.137-92 installed.. I think this is not the latest stock nougat for my region.
Cheers.

No need to push your question everyday. If someone is able/wants to answer he will do.
First of all: NPN25.137-92 is not the European firmware, it's the one for India and Brazil.
The latest one in Europe seems to be NPN25.137-93-14, since yesterday there is another update with version number NPN25.137-93-18 out incl. August security patch but until now only US users (software channel RETUS) have confirmed it. For India/Brazil (your firmware) the latest Nougat firmware is NPN25.137-92-14.
Have you fastboot flashed some firmware on your device so that you are on NPN25.137-92 now? That could be the reason you donĀ“t receive any further OTA updates.
Your bootlader version should be visible when you boot into stock recovery.
Yes, I must have flashed pretty wrong firmware, and now I want to get back on the track. Though I dont remember and I dont have knowledge what was flashed before that. Now I wonder what should be my next step in order to have latest European nougat, or oreo.

Flash latest european firmware NPN25.137-93-14 via fastboot. It can be found somwhere here in the Moto G 5+ threads or you can download it with Lenovo Smart Assistant: https://support.lenovo.com/de/de/downloads/ds101291
That should keep you back on track.
If you can't wait you can update to Oreo with the available OTA found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5...fficial-moto-g5-g5-plus-t3848246/post77856408 ( Read OP of that thread to find out how). But as I posted above there's a newer nougat firmware out in the US so you may not receive future Oreo updates if you use this OTA.

Need an advice: I'm currently on POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-10, OTA says i can update it to POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-14.. Then I could get Oreo OTA from the thread above. In case of any further trouble: will it be safe to return to nougat POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-10 via fastboot? If yes, if then I update again to POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-14, it is safe to take nougat OTA again? And then oreo OTA again? Hope you get my point.

No, that's not safe. Downgrading is always a risky thing because of the bootloader and taking OTA after that could completely hardbrick your phone.
So if you're once on 93-14 you shouldn't flash an older firmware than this. Same applies to downgrading from Oreo to Nougat.

Well, in case of firmware, I cannot find direct 93-14 fastboot rom for download. I have found 93-10 only, that's why I'm concerned about not having the most up to date rom version on my hard drive to flash in case of<>.
