Yeah, seems that no one has captured the NPN25.137-93 firmware, which is odd given the NPN25.137-92 firmware has been out for a while.

The build numbers for Asia and retUS and retEU appear to be the same (all NPNS25.137-93-4 from the various user reports from each region, e.g. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75645812&postcount=34 ) Also, looking at that stock ROM descriptor:

1)Build matches what you need.

2)Baseband matches that for the retUS OTA update for NPNS25.137-93-4 (though the baseband build is the same for NPNS25.137-92-4)

3)Build times for the kernel and this ROM are fairly close ( Tue Jan 23 17:26:00 for the stock ROM, kernel build date for the retUS OTA NPNS25.137-93-4 update is 17:40). Not conclusive, as the NPNS25.137-92-4 kernel got built at 11:31)

4)It's a Blur_Version retail.en.US firmware, which suggests it's for general release.

In summary, it looks like it should work. Of course, the only way to find out is to flash this firmware and hope... At least from the descriptor this looks to be an official firmware from Motorola. Good luck whatever you decide.

Man, your analysis was helpful and convincing. Thanks a lot!

I decided to pull the trigger and update. I confirm that it works fine on XT1687 on RETUS channel.

In case someone else wants to try, here is the process I followed:

1. Download POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml from the link in: https://xdaforums.com/g5-...-asia-t3753798

2. Unzip the archive

3. Open a cmd and cd to the POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml folder

4. Put the phone in bootloader mode (shutdown, then press volume down + power buttons at the same time until the phone turns on)

5. Execute the following fastboot commands (as per flashfile.xml):

fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot

I did not erase userdata contrary to what is indicated in flashfile.xml, so I could keep my data. If you want to follow the process as per flashfile.xml, add the following command after erasing cache:

fastboot erase userdata

Says Europe?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Looks like the XT1687 has been tested and approved to be sold/used in the EU and the US, at least in terms of radios/electromagnetic radiation and electrical safety. https://www.cnet.com/news/certification-marks-decoded/

I'm not sure if it's important with regards to the firmware, as this build was deployed to the EU and Asia Pacific. All that info shows is that Motorola spent time testing and getting approval from the various safety agencies around the world. On my XT1642 (UK, G4 Plus - just for illustration), I see EU, US, Japan, Malaysia and Australia markings - a combination of where the device was sold and also shows me that I should be okay taking this device to those countries. If I went to the US, my device should not cause radio interference :)

The important things to look out for with flashing a stock ROM are:

1)Does your device function as expected?

2)Do you get OTA updates and do they install without issue?

If those two apply (we've already seen that 1) is true, 2) will have to wait for another OTA as the firmware is the latest as of writing), then you're likely on the correct build for your device.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] wayne-of3:
Thanks for the clarification. Time will tell when next OTA comes around. Fingers crossed. Still feel better just having latest security.

Have you gotten any OTA security patches since your flash your ROM?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] wayne-of3:
Yes, that got me back on track. That got me to April sp, but tired of waiting for updates so now on 7.1.2 lineage 14.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] dlong:
Thanks for the update. I have the same problem with mine which currently stuck on the Nov '17 patch/update/version. I'll have to do what you did. Thanks again.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] ryuken88:
I had the exact same issue where I relocked my phone with npn25.137-92 and was stuck on Nov 2017 update. Following these steps worked like a charm. After flashing, I received both March and April system updates.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] dlong:
omino,

Thanks for posting the instructions. For others, I also followed the posted instructions and it works. I have a US - Retail, Unlock Moto G5 Plus (from Costco). I had some trouble finding the ROM archive; however, after finding it, the process worked. Note, that when I ran the fastboot commands, for each one, I got an error (or warning?) about "slot-count not found". A google search didn't yield any confirmed information on what it means. However, ignoring it and just continuing with all the commands, the results are fine. After each reboot, every 10 minutes or so it started informing me of new updates (March, then April, then finally June (or July?)). June/July, that's the last one. There doesn't seem to be one after that....

Has anyone else gotten a later security patch June or July for the G5 Plus for the NA RETUS RETAIL ?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] omino:
I haven't got any update after the June security patch. I think the next one is the 8.1 update. But, as of today, I haven't seen it. Really a shame that Lenovo has not delivered Android 8.1 for NPNS25.137-93-14, RETUS channel.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] dlong:
Lenovo Sucks With Support / Continuing Support (Patches, etc.)

Yeah, pretty crappy of Lenovo. However, when I bought I my phone I wasn't even expecting security patches. Lenovo is very well known for not supporting their products after sale. Like new drivers for a newly released OS. For example, a laptop bought with Win7. But when Win10 comes out, they don't update the drivers so somethings do not work properly. You have to dig around looking at manufacturers and or just try other Lenovo laptop drivers and hope that one works. This phone was sort of a test phone. I would never buy a Lenovo for a daily driver since I don't expect Lenovo to support with security patches or fix bugs in their drivers. For my daily driver, I try to pick to pick LG and Samsung even if it's a entry-level or mid-level phone as I can not justify paying top-dollar for the high-end phones like the S9 or Note 8.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] dlong:
Just as an FYI to myself. Today (October 23rd), Lenovo sent out the August security patch (Build number: NPNS25.137-93-18) for Moto G5 plus.

Hi folks!

Searched the whole Net for it but nobody could answer me this question.. maybe I was asking the wrong people.

So why are the Windows Mobile systems sooo different from Windows CE Core versions :confused::confused:

In fact the Mobile versions should be much more clever than the Core, not?

Why I'm asking is because I would want to run programs across these systems (I think this is the right term).

So if anybody knows something, please do answer me :)

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dirlan2001:
The answer is quiet simple IMHO : the CE core is what is the kernel for desktopmachines. WM and CE are the same , except for the fact that WM is a GUI to use the functions of the CE core.

Basic : PNA (Personal Navigation Assistent) is running a WM without GUI. The only 'activated' functions are related to the navigation.

PDA (Personal Digital Assistent) uses the same system with a GUI and many more options 'activated' (read accessible).

Hi, Guys.

I just installed new OREO Firmware CRB7 [PDA G950FXXU1CRB7-CSC G950FOXM1CRAP-BL G950FXXU1CRB7 (DBT) - Changelist 12993656] and I did exactly the same steps as in the previous CRAP Firmware – HERE ( https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s8/development/oreoodin-official-firmware-galaxy-s8-t3748669 ).

This time I’ve used a new ODIN, v3.12.10.1, and I didn’t absolutely NOTHING different from what I had already done in the previous flash, so there is nothing more to add to what was said earlier, just follow what it has been said, as simple as that.

I'm so sorry no longer available to answer user questions, but understand that I'm just reporting something I just did, without any kind of problems.

Other questions that could be put beyond all that has been said, I could only answer with certainty if I had experienced this same doubt, that is, I would have to reproduce the problem to give the answer, understand?

Has anyone asked if through an update via update.zip could install Recovery TWRP or Root ... I would say yes, but I can not be sure of this because I never did ... it's a matter of trying!

So I leave here the LINK of new firmware, to be installed via ODIN, just like any other firmware to be installed this way ... there are no secrets.

I also leave LINK for Magisk v16.0 (1600), Magisk Manager v5.6.1, Magisk Uninstaller 2018-02-22 and TWRP 3.2.1-0 dreamlte, for anyone who needs this software.

You are trying to flash a older version of Oreo. Due to bootloader versions you have to flash the same version or higher and not lower. Bootloader version is the 5rh number from the right of your firmware name.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] spawnlives:
Basically yes extract the files from the downloaded firmware, put files in Odin in correct slots, put phone in download mode and flash.

Just do a backup first of your apps and data and restore after flash and phone setup.

If downgrading a clean flash is recommended to avoid any issues.

Also use latest Odin 3.13.1

by clean downgrade you mean using the csc something rather than the home_csc? TIA again
[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] spawnlives:
For stock firmware you don't need OEM (bootloader ) unlocked and shouldn't trip your Knox.

Using CSC is a clean Install - same as a factory reset /out o fbox state.

Home CSC will keep your apps and data and you would have to do a factory reset from recovery.

Do a backup first so you can restore your apps/data.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] gggg:
I thought Knox will be tripped if any form of non - samsung signed firmware flashed on to it e.g. TWRP, Magisk, custom rom, ...

1 So please confirm that you flashed ROM, TWRP and / or Magisk without tripping Knox.

2 Please tell more about this "custom kernel". From where is it or did you create it ?

3 To clarify this for all of us a screenshot showing Knox 0x0 and TWRP would very helpfull, because we do not want to loose waranty or not be able to use banking/payment apps !
