Still no update UK still on 1st Jan security patch ? Lenovo ? developers if only I didn't need bank app I'd be rooted by now ?
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] onryo:
Lineage OS is not rooted by default. The reason they do this is so you can use your bank apps etc.

Just received in germany / build npp25.137.72 (not .73)! Screenshots
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ehmdjii:
Received the update also, but since I have TWRP recovery, the update doesnt proceed by itself.

Does someone know what options I have to choose in TWRP to finish it?
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] red rocket:
Npp25.137-73

NPP25.137-73 I believe is only for the Amazon version of Moto G5.

How did I come to this conclusion?

I installed a custom rom LineageOS 14.1 and Resurrection Remix on both roms I was unable to make calls with Reliance JIO.

Additionally when I went to look for updates I was unable to find any updates on the phone.

After a lot of research I was finally able to find a website that listed the Amazon version of the firmware.

Once I installed the Amazon version of the firmware everything went back to normal and I was able to make calls using Reliance JIO and when I went to check for system updates NPP25.137-73 showed.

Below is the link to website that lists all the stock firmware for the Moto G5

Any news about the update for xt1676 reteu????
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigBadBassMan:
Update is being deployed, got mine last friday. Beware, can only be installed on unmodified stock and with original recovery.

I got NPP25.137-72 with a size of ~225 MB

TWRP does not work, the scripting/commands seem different.

Also, modified /system or /boot leads to update failure, I suspect the no-verity-patch being the culprit.

I backuped my data, flashed complete stock, did the first boot wizard, downloaded the ota update & installed it and confirmed working.

Afterwards I booted TWRP (no flash!) flashed the no-verity and restored my /data.

Had to manually delete my passcode with TWRP afterwards, as I was not able to unlock the device!

Do you saved the ota zip?

Enviado desde mi Moto G (5) mediante Tapatalk
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigBadBassMan:
I tried to, but couldn't find it, as is it was not placed in the obvious locations (Downloads, internal/external-sdcard root folders). And due to time constraints I couldn't repeat the process.

Anyone got an idea where the moto updater places its files?

I did a complete TWRP-backup ob my old stock (npp25.137-33) and the new stock (npp25.137-72), though. Anybody interested in these?
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mbwf:
How can you have pulled (via adb, I presume?) the OTA if you subsequently couldn't find it? That makes no sense.
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigBadBassMan:
Sorry, I see now that that statement was misleading. I meant to write "downloaded OTA onto the device", not pulled the file via adb to my pc.

So yes, i couldn't figure out which file to adb-pull, so I didn't do it.
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] onryo:
When you went back to stock what version did you use? Do you have a url?
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigBadBassMan:
I flashed the NPP25.137-33 provided in this thread - this was also the version my phone came equipped with.

(I think I used the mega-download, not the filefactory-one, althouth this should make no difference)

[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] 666km666:

I have also got my first software update, had to check in the settings for it. Software channel is reteu. Build number NPP25.137-15 -> NPP25.137-72.

EDIT:

Security patch level got updated from January 2017 to March 2017 (so still 4 months behind!). Android version is still 7.0. Embarrassing for Lenovo to release such an update when many other phones are already on 7.1.1 and June/July security patch.

[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheFixItMan:
Ask a silly question.....

Get a silly answer...

Because you have been a naughty boy and Santa isn't happy with you

Real answer - because its not available yet for your variant and region

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

Because not only does Motorola have to build the firmware for it but it then has to goto amazon for them to put all their crap on it then it has to be sent back to Motorola for approval - Im not sure if it then has to be sent to google for approval or not.

The more companies involved the longer it takes.

Just count yourself lucky you dont have a samsung - their devices normally only get one update in its entire lifetime if you are lucky so stop moaning

Hi guys somebody had root issues with the latest 137-72 update? It doesn't make me run anymore.
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] 1rdc:
Don't update if you're rooted

In case someone accidentally installs this OTA update while your phone is still rooted, here's what I did:

The phone booted straight to recovery (TWRP), and clearing cache/dalvik did not help. So go to the terminal within TWRP and type this:

dd if=/dev/zero of=dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/misc

Now you can boot the phone without losing any data

[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigBadBassMan:
Digging up release notes is not helpfull, as long as there is no confirmed rollout - or a captured ota/nandroid/stock image.

The march update was 2 months late in germany (announced at end of april/beginning of may, deployed around mid-june!), we have not even seen the announced may update! (Not to mention, that the september update fixed the media server - again!)

I don't expect to see this one before november, if ever!

[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheFixItMan:
not a good idea - flashing an ota from another country could cause issues with your device and more problems if trying to flash back to orig stock firmware

Plus the person would have to root their phone to capture the ota from the cache partition then reflash stock firmware to unroot to flash the ota themselves and its really not worth all the hassle

just wait!!

i got this update today was around 67.5 MB :)

but don't what it does....still the SD card getting corrupt issue is present :crying: should've fixed that :mad:
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheFixItMan:
All it is is the security update

For example - there was an android bug that allowed anyone to take over your phone via the bluetooth stack so they could access all your files & see what is on your screen via Bluetooth but bypassing you accepting the connection - Google released a security update the same day it was discovered (it's actually been there for years but only patched a few months ago)

The sd card corruption is more likely your sd card - Iv only had it once when changing rapidly between roms - removing the sd card restarting the phone & re-entering the sd card fixed it then running a media re-scan to view all files by on pc if they appear missing

If it happens all the time for no reason change your sd card - I recommend sandisk ultra 32gb

Hey ,

I have too Moto g5 Amazon Indian varient but whenever I check for update I didn't get any update it's always show me "your device software up to date "
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheFixItMan:
updates are rolled out in waves and depends on the following

device model

region

retail or branded

I would assume the person who got the update is retail and you are branded

Retail means phone was bought unlocked and has no branding (eg not bought from a carrier or is not an amazon brand)

You have the amazon variant which is branded so one can only assume that these devices have not got an update yet

Branded versions usually take longer to update as it requires the brand to add all their "stuff" to it and send it back for approval

I was wondering why is this happening, is it Android Nougat? Or My Phone (Moto G5)?? or any other factor responsible for this. Plz advise :)

The USB stick needs to formatted with fat32 or ext4

If it's formatted with ntfs it's very unlikely android can natively read it & will therefore ask you to format it

There are apps available which claim to be able to mount ntfs formatted drives via otg

Iv got loads of usb sticks formatted with fat32 - they all read perfectly fine plugging them into phone via otg cable

Hi Guys,

just for understanding. If I'm on "npps25.137-72-4" with Patchlevel "1. August" and i install LineageOS, how can i get back to Stock? I mean, i know how to get/flash back with fastboot, but do i need exactly the "npps25.137-72-4" Firmware, or can i use an older Firmware like "NPP25.137-33"? Thanks in advance

you can use stock firmware and update after install, or make a full backup before to flash custom rom, after that, restore the backup
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Einherjer*:
Thanks for your Answer.

So i can use an older Firmware, because this Firmware with August Patchlevel isn't online yet.

[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheFixItMan:
Yes it does with original charger

If you are just charging from around 60% you won't notice a difference but from empty to full you will

Notes/review of quick charging from digital trends

Qualcomm claims the latest version of Quick Charge 4+ can recharge smartphones to 50 percent in just 15 minutes. The more ubiquitous Quick Charge 3.0 delivers about 50 percent capacity in half an hour.

In our testing, Quick Charge 3.0-compatible phones like the LG G5 took about 1 hour and 18 minutes to reach 100 percent.

I am using MIUI 8.2 Stable 8.2.1.0-SKINNY-V2-MultiRom and it is very good for me. However, I have a deal-breaking problem. My mobile network connection sometimes shows full signal but in reality it does not work. People are telling me your mobile is switched off but it is not and the coverage is okay.

This has been reported in different areas and different times and I am sure it is not about the network or the carrier. It is about the phone.

Do you have any solution for this? How to identify and test the root cause and how to fix it?

[Magisk] fehhner:
You need to have root and any terminal installed.

[Magisk] ChanSilvers:
thanks man! ? I tried that but my phone reboots after i entered the command and my phone is rooted ?
[Magisk] _Johnito_:
Sorry for the dig up but i am also interrested in this.

I am using an app (NFC Card Emularo) which requires access to /vendor/etc/libnfc-nxp.conf but cannot access it -> the partition is reported to be "read only" by the app. I was able to use the mount command but i am not sure it changes anything since the partition doesnt seem to be writable anyway.

My rig : OnePlus 3T / Oreo (Resurrection Remix OS) / Magisk 16 (also tried 16.2)
[Magisk] NyeinSan:
Error on remount /system

/system permission can't get full permission
[Magisk] whyou:
Hi I am using the same app and facing the same problem you have. I have a moto Z 2016 and using the app well, on moto Z2 ,the same problem as you are having. I tried to create file in the dest folder where the app need to modifiy file and success. Still digging into that.
[Magisk] Limero:
Has anyone been able to solve this? I too use NFC Card Emulator and it's been working fine for a while but then I got the same problem. I don't know what caused it, either an update to the app, LineageOS, Magisk or TWRP. I'm using a OnePlus 5T.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Since Magisk is mounting it's systemless mask over /system and /vendor, directly modifying/mounting these as rw can be an issue...

If you're not using any Magisk modules, you should be able to make it work by just enabling Core Only Mode in the Manager settings.

Otherwise, I would try by taking whatever file it is that the app is trying to modify and make a Magisk module out of it. This way the app should have full write access to the file, and you'll have the benefit of keeping your system untouched.
[Magisk] Limero:
There is an option to generate a Magisk module from the app and that's actually what I used until things broke. After some testing, going back to the March 5 build of LineageOS 15.1 and getting version 3.0.9 of NFC emulator from Aptoide made it work again, but any version 3.1.0 or up doesn't and 3.0.9 does not work on latest LineageOS (March 26 because f that April fools crap). I also tried all the latest LineageOS/TWRP/NFC Emulator on my old Nexus 6P and there, everything works as expected.

So what I get from this is that the fault is either in LineageOS or the app and it's device specific.
[Magisk] Limero:
An update to this. LineageOS version does not matter as I was able to get NFC Card Emulator version 3.0.9 running on the latest LineageOS. If you download version 3.0.9 from Aptoide it will work once and then stop working, later versions won't work at all. So the best current solution is to use version 3.0.9 of the app and on each reboot after the first install, clear data for the app and it will work again.
[Magisk] Bullone:
I can confirm this.

I was having problems with the lastest version of NFC Card Emulator, so I downloaded and installed version 3.0.9 and everything works fine.

Thanks for the tip!
