Could you please share a direct link. I am getting access denied for the above link.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:
I get access denied too - its because its a direct link to Motorola server & that firmware is not available in our region

If you vpn to Brazil you will be able to download it

Just a question, my boy has a G5 but on UK Tesco software channel, I have been told by Motorola there are no more security patches,he's on November 2017 lol. Can I sideload the latest OTA from retail G5 ?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:
I would just flash a UK retail firmware - you would have to flash the complete firmware including gpt & bootloader so any firmware you choose must be the same or later version (you will get a security downgrade error if the gpt is older so make sure it flashes correctly)
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] MKD73:
Ok thanks , any idea what the latest retail UK firmware is and where o can download , ill have a look myself just want to be 100% on the files im getting
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
I also have the Tesco version, just fastboot flash any moto g5 cedric update, should work

Hi,

I've used your method a few times in the past to update my phone and they all worked perfectly. I am now receiving an OTA notification for the latest update - NPPS25.137-93-12 - but it will not install. I have tried using the OTA files available here https://xdaforums.com/g5/how-to/cedric-ota-archive-t3795275 and tried installing them using recovery, and sideload, but without success.

Do I need a full ROM to install using the fastboot process like I have used before? Or would I be better waiting for a full stock(final) Oreo ROM to become available and then flash that ROM using fastboot?

Thanks for your help.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
If you are looking to update to the Oreo build that was released ( very, very stable by the way ;) )

Then you will have to flash the latest Moto G5 cedric fastboot firmware then install the Oreo OTA

follow Fedrays instructions here https://xdaforums.com/g5/development/stock-upgrade-to-official-stock-oreo-8-t3823598 his guide includes latest nougat fastboot firmware and Oreo OTA ( I checked and only command you will not have to do for fastboot is wipe userdata, you do not have to do fastboot erase userdata so all your apps and everything will be kept as they are ), the OTA file should install with no problems then using ADB sideload ( I had a problem trying the sdcard way )

If you do encounter any problems then message me on fb/messenger

Is the Nov build the most recent? Aside from the Oreo soak test?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] marc2k3:
If you check the stock Oreo thread, you actually have to install the latest July 2018 build of Nougat first You can do that and skip Oreo.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] stueymc:
If I wanted to wait for the proper "full" release of Oreo, is there any way I can firmware flash the phone to NPPS25.137-93-12 (because the OTA is not working). And then hopefully when Oreo is fully released to all phones I will be able to firmware flash Oreo then. If I understand correctly, by using Fedrays method I would be putting the phone into a different upgrade path (if you know what I mean), meant for a different region.

Thanks.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
Both certain regions and certain carrier bought versions won't get the OTA anyway, some carriers won't bother with it as they have some regions may not get it ( rare but it happens )
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Andrej_SK:
Could somebody provide full untouched fastboot firmware with build number NPPS25.137-93-14 for DualSIM Moto G5 (XT1676) with reteu software channel and 3GB RAM/16GB ROM, please? Thanks in advance.

Moto g5 Cedric Hard Bricked

Does anyone have a Blankflash for the Moto g5 Cedric variant (XT1671).? I accidentally hard bricked my device while trying to revert back to stock and get safetyNet to pass. Currently the only thing i have is access to the QDLoader but I can't find a blankflash anywhere.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:

Hi I've just got a G5 XT1675 for my son and wanted to update it from the NPP25.137-15 Jan-17 patch release to the latest release (either 7.x or 8.x).

I've flashed multiple phones before (usually with Odin & TWRP) but despite reading lots of threads I keep going round in circles, amidst risky sounding things like IMEI being erased, hardbricking and relocking bootloaders etc. Some info seems to conflict e..g about the need to be on a certain Nougat release before updating to 8.0.

So can anyone confirm whether it is possible to safely update this phone?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
The risk of losing EMEI number is circled around custom roms and this was ages back before Motorola released Android 8x for the Moto G5 so custom Rom's at that time didn't have the full code and files to go off of

There is a guide to update the phone to Official 8.x from Motorola themselves but the furthest the security will go up to is August or September going by what I am seeing

The other option is custom ROM's but no idea if losing EMEI is still a risk or not

fastboot flash oem oem.img

Then the phone restarted as new, but now the finger sensor doesn't work.

Need some advice. I really want to get back to nougat, but if it's not possible, how could I fix the finger sensor?

Thank you!

Ok, I needed to unlock fastboot with the motorola page. Once done that, I could downgrade the phone, and now all works great.

Thank you!!!

Don't downgrade you device as it will hard brick your device, so just don't downgrade. If like to go back to nougat, install twrp and flash the flash nougat firmware.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:
It won't brick your device

You won't be able to flash gpt or bootloader due to security downgrade error so there's no risk of hard bricking

You can flash everything else and the device will boot but you will loose fingerprint due to kernel/bootloader differences (there is a zip available if you search to correct this) and you may face other issues but it is possible
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] antonioveneroso:
hard bricked

Well, my phone died :(

For a stupid reason, the phone started to update to a new version, but now it don't start... when I plug it to charge it, a white led starts blinking, but nothing happens...

Never do stock OTAs if you have unlocked the bootloader or rooted phone etc - you can block or remove the ota app if on stock rom

Hi, I'm trying to unlock bootloader in my Moto G5. I followed the description above. The driver is installed.

First thing, fastboot doesn't work (picture fastboot1.png)

I've found different fastboot (picture fastboot2.png). Unfortunately the command "fastboot devices" shows nothing.

I work on AMD processor.

What could be wrong?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:
Download platform tools (contains fastboot.exe)

https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip

Either

1 - open cmd at the fastboot.exe location

2 - manually navigate cmd to the fastboot location

3 - add the path to fastboot.exe to windows environmental values to be able to run fastboot from anywhere in cmd

Note - if doing either 1 or 2 from above then your firmware or what ever you want to flash needs to be in the same location as fastboot.exe

If doing 3 & fastboot is in Windows environmental values then the firmware or what ever you are flashing can be at any location as fastboot will run from anywhere

If they release any updates for out specific XT1675 model you will a notification

personally i think Lenovo has changed their plans about releasing Oreo for our Device and not said anything :/
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] :
Oh okay thanks! ?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
I hope that's not the case with the Oreo update :/
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] :
No I don't think that is! ?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
here is some good news the Moto g5, g5 plus, g5s and g5s plus and all still planned for Oreo but they are waiting for certain mobile networks and carriers to go ahead ( it is on pending status ) so it all depends if the mobile networks think putting effort into updating this phone with their stuff is worth it
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Smonic:
What if your phone wasn't connected to a carrier and was bought directly from Moto website? Also, any update for this phone can be used on any variant anyway without annoying carrier sh1t.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
I don't know, it looks like they are waiting for the major carriers to get onboard before releasing an Oreo update for the moto G5 series, carrier or no carrier, Moto probably has Oreo ready but most likely want the Carriers to get on board and have an update ready for the Amazon models then release them all at the same time so no devices amazon model, non amazon model, carrier, no carrier, etc get left out

yes i know any update can but updates for other models of the g5 wasn't officially released for the XT1675

for example the XT1672 firmware works on the XT1675 but any updates for the XT1672 aren't for the XT1675
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] stueymc:
I've been do a bit of rooting around with this problem as well. It seems this variant of G5 (XT1675) is getting Security Updates - at least according to people on the Lenovo forums page. The problem seems to be (as I read it) with the Software Channel. People on the Lenovo forum who are on Software Channel reteu seem to be getting updates, whereas any phones on retgb are not. Someone suggested this could be due to the fact Motorola have no Release/Development(?) Partner in the UK. I am only rehashing what I have read elsewhere - I don't know either. I don't know if it is possible to change Software Channels, and even if it was if this would solve the Security Update Problems.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] :
So basically no updates for the UK only!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] :
Had a chat with Motorola support on Twitter!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
Did they say anything about the UK update channel as it's unfair that other XT1675 models on different software channels are getting updates
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] :
No just said that the Moto g5 will get the January patch and Oreo.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
Do you have any links you could send? I would like to ask some of the users what software version they are running on their XT1675 models
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
Any idea if that means the UK version of the XT1675 as well ( not with Oreo but the January security update) or other models on different software channels will get it because so far the UK version hadn't had any official updates since January 2017
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] :
I asked about that but didn't say why! And if the UK version will get it but they're didn't say it won't! So there's some hope right?

I had a look, it looks like any Moto G5 no matter the model on the retail UK software channel hasn't been issued any updates

But any Moto G5 on the Retail EU software channel has been issued updates, at least 1 security update every 3 months since it was released, this is disappointing news
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
There is always hope as long as other models are receiving updates but the hopes of any models on the UK model recieving any security patch updates is fairly slim

I think all Moto G5's will get Oreo but the UK channel will get left and the EU channel will get updates like the current situation
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] infixremix:
Doesn't matter if its signed you won't receive Oreo , according to Motorola ota Black lists unlocked Devices can confirm I spoke to someone in a secretive way . When u got ur unlock code ur serial number identifies ur imei number . Please if I'm wrong in sorry but this is what I've heard. Also Beta doesn't Provide the finished Project .

When/if Oreo does come out eventually the firmware for it will leak online

According to that user Motorola black lists ( removes devices from update service ) that have had a unlocked bootloader at least once

Really!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
I hope not, if so I'll provide the firmware to flash through fastboot, actually something related to fastboot I just tested out two different firmwares for Moto G5 ( firmwares not specific to any one model ) one for the August 2017 security patch and one for the November security patch, both worked flawlessly and didn't even have to unlock my bootloader, I know the EU version of the XT1675 got the August security patch but not sure if it got a November one, anyways both work on the XT1675 UK model
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] :
Do you have the download links for them?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
I've gotten into bed now but my computer is currently uploading both August and November security patches to XDA ( be aware though that even though the November security update does work on the XT1675 model it still may have not had the November update officially ) where the download speed is much faster, for me the original NPP25.137-15 file took 2 and half hours to download but when tested after I uploaded it to XDA the download only took 15 minutes
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] :
Okay thank you so you tested it and it works?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
Yes they do :) both August and November 2017

just follow same instructions I have on here, all the other files that come with it such as gpt.bin and those type of files you don't need to flash

The links will be up tomorrow we'll tomorrow for me as for me it is currently quarter to 12

Brilliant thanks again! Now this august and November security patch doesn't just add the security patch it add the new bug fixes and other thing right? Last question so you can go to bed!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
I have no idea, I don't have any changelogs to know what they have done apart from Security patch but these firmware files are signed by Motorola so nothing will be different from Our models using the software and the Moto G5 models that actually received the software updates

I'm on YouTube anyway haha

Um, sorry if I seem a bit confused, but what's different in this stock image than the one at mirrors.lolinet.com?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
The XDA upload server is

1) usually faster

2) from experience more trustworthy and reliable

3) Other links other than XDA or AndroidFileHost are more likely to be removed or taken down

So there are more advantages than disadvantages of Uploading the firmware to XDA

Can't find the download links!? For august and November security patch?

[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] :
Okay thanks! Where did you get the download links? Coz I looked everywhere and can't find the august or November security patch!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
They don't just say august or November they have codenames

NPP25.137-15 is 1st January 2017

( security update + bug fixes )

NPP25.137-33 is 1st August 2017

( security update + bug fixes )

NPP25.137-33-10 another August update for

(bug fixes )

NPP25.137-93 is 1st November 2017

( security update and bug fixes )

The reason I'm uploading here is because even though you search the codename you could pick an update file not for your device ( it's unclear which models update files work on the XT1675 or not apart from XT1672 )

The update files I'm getting aren't specific to any device meaning all Moto G5 got the update at some point or came with it apart from obviously UK Moto G5's
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] stueymc:
This might seem a bit of a stupid question, but how can I check if my Bootloader has been unlocked? I know on HTC you could boot to recovery, on Samsungs the Odin software would tell you. Does Motorola Recovery tell you anything?

Hold the power button and volume down button when phone is off, it will say near the bottom either Flashing_unlocked or oem_locked

the bootloader is never unlocked by default if that helps
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Livi-Tech:
Do you have any proof for me to look at to confirm unlocking bootloader then re-locking prevents ota updates?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] :

Edit: the November patch is included in the OP now

Edit No.2 - I'm not sure if any of the XT1675 models got the November update, also if you ever have a problem with your phone and have to send it in, lock your bootloader and flash the 1st January 2017 update to be on the safe side that way Motorola wouldn't be able to look at the software on a basic level and be like yep it's been tampered with because this model of the phone never got this update ( specifically UK models )
