You need stock recovery to apply OTAs.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] snaggletooth1:
I know what you're talking about, but have no idea how to proceed with stock recovery. Can you point me somewhere for help?

In the mean time, is there someway to undo what's already been done so the phone isn't booting to TWRP?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] m4f1050:
You can always leave the stock recovery and whenever you need TWRP just "fastboot boot recovery twrp-3.1.1.0.potter.img" (or whatever name TWRP is)

SuperSU rooting required a modified Kernel which I can't copy to -83 (boot loops) and Magisk is not an option for me.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jpaulding22:
Ever since an update from 4.4 to 5.1 essentially bricked my first Moto G, I have been very hesitant to apply any update that my phone notifies me of. I like to at least wait until someone says that the phone with the new update is equal to or better than the phone preupdate. I haven't been able to find a really definitive answer on that subject yet.

So, do any of you guys recommend updating or not updating? What reason(s) should I or shouldn't I?

My current build number is NPNS25.137-35-5 and obviously the update being pushed is NPN25-137-83

Thanks in advance for any input.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jrhotrod:
The security patch from August is the only real reason to update. Personally, I just wanted as safe a device as possible before irreversibly installing Xposed and Magisk.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Purplezigar:
Anyone know if you can downgrade the AMZ variant back to 25.137-35-5?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] acejavelin:
No, you can't downgrade without an unlocked Bootloader.

Is anyone else battery life being eaten alive while it should be dozing? after this OTA update, cleared cache partition several times, i am being shortened about 2 hours On Screen Time. My highest battery usages are now the android OS and google play services. I tried disabling google play services from running in the background. I installed GSAM battery monitor, and it is pointing to my phone radio (system/mobile data) as the culprit. so i went even further to download cpu spy and it is showing my phone loves being in the 652 mhz state a lot. but since i'm not rooted i can't see what specific app is directly causing all this. Anyone else experiencing anything similar or have any suggestions for me that might help? trying to avoid the factory reset at all cost. have been considering rooting to Lineage OS 15 (once official) if this isn't resolved by the OTA Android Oreo update in the near future. please, any suggestions are appreciated, regards!

P.s. I'm on xt1687!

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jrhotrod:
I'd highly recommend rooting and installing Xposed and using all those wonderful battery-saving tools. But you can use the app BetterBatteryStats (free from XDA) and run a few ADB commands to make it work without root. No "CPU Spy" app in my experience tops it. Install it, run the commands, and leave it for a while. Post some screenshots of the "summary" and "partial wakelocks."
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Choup17:
Thanks. Will try this and post results in a day or two.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] dmeeks72:
I haven't noticed any difference in battery life since this update. Everything is working properly for me.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] acejavelin:
Actually, unless you are already unlocked I wouldn't do the root and Xposed part, the problem is something else and this would likely mask it.

Better Battery Stats is good, although many people prefer GSAM because it's easier to understand and less technical. Either can help determine the cause of the battery drain.

First, wipe your cache partition, 7 times out of 10 this fixes the problem if mystery battery drain. If that fails, do a factory reset.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jrhotrod:
He said he already tried wiping the cache and wants to avoid a factory reset at all costs. I'm offering him an alternative.

So I just got this phone today at black friday sale.

I'm currently not rooted or unocked bootloader yet. I am sticking on stock for now for a few weeks or months in case anything may go haywire.

I am currently on the what I'm going to guess, latest firmware release as my build number is NPN25.137-83 and checking software updates it says I am up to date.

I am currently on metroPCS and have the XT1687 4gb ram/64gb storage, single sim US variant.

I know flashing older firmware over newer firmware ie: flashing back to a firmware previous if you have the latest already installed, can and has bricked phones, so it's not recommended to backflash older firmware than what you have currently installed.

So, just for future reference, is there a link to download the firmware versions at, so in case a root goes haywire or I softbrick, I can flash stock and start over?

I've been google searching and all the links I come across are dead or removed.

Edit:

I found a link I had saved from researching the phone before I bought it, and grabbed a stock firmware, but it's an xml folder, with files in it.

It's been forever since I flashed a stock firmware on moto, so I really need a refresh corse.

The folder has files like logo.bin, recovery.img, oem.img, boot.img, bootloader.img, etc.....and the folder is labeled as POTTER_NPN25.137-83_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml

So back to newb-ville again, how do you flash that??

Keep in mind I have flashed before and have rooted before so this is not exactly new to me, as I've rooted numerous phones, and only had 1 moto phone, and forgot how to flash when it comes to moto and files. I have since had a nexus 5, and 5x both of which are super easy to root, but I rarely go back to stock for any reason, really never had a need, aside from when something goes to crap and you just flash stock and start all over with root heh.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] easyrider77:
Thanks for the link, much appreciated.

Looks like the file on OP hosts is the same one I have bookmarked already, it's the exact same file name. As for the rest, I guess I wasn't as forgetful as I thought I was, it's all fastboot commands.

Again thanks for the link, much appreciated
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] dunderball:
You cannot take a traditional OTA (from the system update menu option) while on custom recovery. It will put you in a boot loop for sure.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Dishe:
Can you elaborate on this?

Root seems like a cat and mouse game on this thing that I'm not interested in going through, but I'd like to be able to modify contents of things like build.prop, which I can do from TWRP without root on the OS.

I *REALLY* don't want to deal with breaking OTA, as I'm still stock and awaiting the Sept security update (which Moto reps hinted was coming in December), so I was considering going back to stock recovery after I do this. If there's a way to "temporarily boot TWRP" without replacing it and switching back/forth everytime I need root file access, that would be AMAZING. But I'm not sure I understand the instruction you describe above. Is that going to leave the stock one in place, or will it switch the loader to TWRP from then on?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] acejavelin:
To boot TWRP to make a change will require an unlocked Bootloader and giving TWRP write access to /system... The question of if that will effect OTA updates is unknown, it all depends what the script checks for. Booting TWRP does not flash it, it basically makes it a one-time boot image that doesn't change anything in the device by itself (what you change with TWRP booted would be permanent though).

Obviously, if it checks build.prop it will fail immediately, but we also know an update can be blocked if the script determines that /system has EVER been mounted read/write. Each update script checks different things, so if you do this it's a gamble, period, because we just don't know.

Expect if you change anything at the system level, future updates could fail.

Hello

I have lg k8 lte rooted with supersu. I would like to switch to Magisk, but I would like to know one thing. Does Magisk support boot images compressed using lz4? I'm asking because in, as far as I remember, v12.0 changelog lz4 is mentioned, but a lot of people on the net says that Magisk supports onlny gzip compressed boot images.

"Cleaned Rom" = Rom ohne Schnickschnack wie Cube, Windows Live, Office, HTC Home?

Nur mit TFlo, geändertem PagePool und Tweaks?

Das wär ja viel zu geil.

Meine Donation für diesen Monat würde auf jeden Fall dir zufliessen.

Das mit GPS und WiFi können wir vergessen:

Fluxkompensator (Produktmanager bei o2 Germany) meinte auf ppc-welt.de, dass der Chip es zwar könnte, aber sie keine Antennen dafür verbauen lassen hätten bei HTC, um den Formfaktor des Star so kompakt hinzubekommen wie er ist.

Das einzige was machbar wäre wäre gehackte Imageontreiber, aber das Projekt dümpelt ja mehr so vor sich hin, obwohl es m.E. das wichtigere wäre.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] NetrunnerAT:
OK ...

Das mit dem Cleaned Rom ist genau das gemeint!

Das mit GPS und Wifi ... aus meiner sicht (Nachrichten Elektrotechniker) sind diese beiden Antennen vorhanden. Also ich kann diese Antennen als solches erkennen, was net heisen soll das ich zu 100% richtig lieg! Es gibt sogar ein Bild, wo genau die Wifi Antenne abgelichtet wurde. Wifi Antennen unterscheiden sich grundlegend von GSM/UMTS Antennen.

- I have bought LG v30 from South Korea unlocked 128gb phone

- its recognize Verizon sim card

- 4LTE internet is working

- text messages or voice phone calling is not working, if something else is calling me it goes to voice mail.

PS my previous phone LG V20 got completely ****ed up on construction site.

[Huawei Watch] ilya87:
I have a Google Pixel and Huawei Watch (version 1). I've set up my watch to be able to make and receive calls, which works fine, however now my phone will default to the watch for all calls even if I don't touch the watch while making or receiving a call.

For example, I just received a call now, answered it on my phone (didn't touch the watch), and the call defaulted to the watch as a bluetooth device. This also happens when I make a call through the phone (again not touching the watch). Every time I have to look on the handset, and change the audio from bluetooth to handset in the call screen.

This also used to happen with my Xiaomi Mi5 which I recently changed from, so I know it's not something specific to this phone.

I like occasionally answering calls through my watch if I don't have my handset around, so I don't want to switch off this feature entirely, but I only want to do that when actually touching the answer button on my watch. Does anyone have any suggestions?
