I had hardbricked my phone and am using a tarp flashablr stock ROM. Can I use this method to go back to stock?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] TheGameExtreme:
It says: version-bootloader: moto-msm8953-C0.8C, I think it's an older version because before to install Oreo by TWRP I had Nougat with the March security patch
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] BlackScout:
Yeah, your bootloader is still from Nougat. One day, that could become a problem (hard brick) when taking OTA's.

You can easily fix that by going back to Nougat. (Just make sure to flash the exact version (or one above) the one you had before. Remember, never downgrade your bootloader.).

I think you can just fastboot flash NPNS-25.137.92-14 (since the difference between that and the base 92 patch is just security patches...), download the OTA zip that's been posted around and follow the last set of instructions here (The ones labeled

Oreo OTA Steps

)

Remember, flashing those TWRP zips made by NZedPred is technically not the same thing as fastboot flashing or taking an OTA. These zips don't upgrade your bootloader and the OP of those threads do not recommend you to take any OTAs.

Quoting from the source: https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/development/twrp-flashable-stock-builds-t3813351

The partition table and bootloader are not included, which makes it safer to up/downgrade.

Do not attempt to apply standard OTAs over these builds. They'll probably fail, worst case they will brick your phone

So if you want to take the Oreo OTA and have an upgraded bootloader (C0.92), don't flash these. Flash the official Stock ROM (Nougat) images using fastboot then take the OTA.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] karan3660:
I got all the information from this guide thanx but one doubt is there , i have my own efs nd persist and i have also backed it up so do i need to restore the restore zip or m i good to just fastboot flash nougat rom and update it via OTA to oreo? I m using custom oreo rom right now and i have never lost 4g or imei that means my efs and persist is my original..
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] karan3660:
I successfully flashed nougat thnx to your guide.i have downloaded the oreo update but where to put it the update is not being detected in system update

I m an Indian user so retin variant and dwnlf the oreo file provided by you.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] psychopac:
The zip file needs to be placed in the internal memory and not within any folder in the internal memory (i.e in the root directory of internal memory), after that you need to give storage permission to the updater app and reboot. After reboot, you need to check for updates and the updater app should now be able to pick up the zip file you placed in internal memory as a new system update
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] karan3660:
I have to directly place the zip file?? I extracted it into folder maybe thats why updater app didnt detected

Let me try again.

Tried after placing the zipe file directly into the root of internal storage and gave motorola update service storage permission then rebooted

Still not detevtion the zip file.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] psychopac:
There's no need to extract the file. Simply place the zip in the root directory. You must be on June 137-92-14 update to install it.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] karan3660:
I was on 93-10 version thats y it didnt detect update.

Flashed 92-14 nd updated to stock oreo

Thanks for the guide
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
Just for your info: 93-10 is a firmware for reteu/retus/retapac devices, 92-14 is for retin/rebra.

So you won't receive future OTA as you are on the wrong software channel.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] NZedPred:
It's actually quite possible that future otas will still be picked up (although I wouldn't recommend that others try this). Flashing another channel was important before, but given that Moto seem to have unified the builds.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
That would be a nice move from Moto/Lenovo.

So I should have said:

So you probably won't receive future OTA as you are on the wrong software channel.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] nvrpayretail:
The stock OTA update for retus can be found here: https://technoplanners.blogspot.com/...S28.85-13.html

I downloaded this to root internal storage and changed storage permissions but System update doesn't find it. I also tried putting it in the sdcard root with same result. I tried to adb sideload it but it failed because Nougat has to be at Build number NPNS25.137-92. Since I had previously installed the OTA June security patches I'm at Build number NPNS25.137-93. So I seem to be between a rock and a hard place.

Any suggestions has to how to get upgraded to oreo OTA?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
This Oreo OTA requires the Brazil or Indian firmware to flash onto (possibly Latin America firmware). As you've found out, this OTA is NOT compatible with US devices as they're on a different stock build. You'd have to wait for the EU, APAC or US OTA updates to be leaked or released. You'd also have to be on the NPNS25.137-93-14 update to apply the OTA update when it arrives.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] nvrpayretail:
The OTA I linked to is for the retus version - Blur_Version.28.51.16.potter.retail.en.US.zip
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Yup, I've checked the link and it's linking to the Brazil Oreo OTA update. Despite the suffix 'en.US', this does not necessarily mean this update is for the US devices.

Furthermore, looking at the OTA updater script, it specifically requires NPNS25.137-92-14 or OPS28.85-13:

Package expects build thumbprint of 8.1.0/OPS28.85-13/b8ea:user/release-keys or 7.0/NPNS25.137-92-14/16:user/release-keys

Since you have mentioned you have NPNS25.137-93-14 this OTA simply will not flash to your device. You must wait for the compatible OTA to be released.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] NZedPred:
Despite its name, it is not the us ota.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] nvrpayretail:
Odd, to say the least. My bad. Didn't realize "92" indicated India and "93" indicated US.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] BlackScout:
Welp. I totally forgot about enabling permissions for the Motorola Update Services. OP fixed.

And yes, en.US doesn't mean it's retus. Which is confusing...
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] dumpy3777:
i had backup the whole stock 7.0 rom including efs and persist before flashing oreo custom rom so can i restore it using twrp??? or i have to flash stock rom again as mention in op to get ota update ???
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] zooreo:
is official oreo stock fastboot rom out??
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
No, just a OTA for India and Brazil.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ~Unify~:
Now im on NPNS25.137.93-14 (April patch ) stock unrooted with locked bootloader ,and my software channel is RETIN, I want to switch to NPNS25.137-92-14. What can i do ? Its okay to flash the ...92-14 fastboot rom on my current rom.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
Try it.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
In addition to Wolfcity's reply, you may have to unlock your bootloader again, if the NPNS25.137-92-14 stock ROM does not flash. If so, then back up as much of your data as possible. A backup should have been made regardless before attempting.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ~Unify~:
if i unlock my bootloader then flash 92-14, then will i face any issue.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Besides losing your data and having an unlocked bootloader (so bootloader unlocked warning and no safetynet), I don't see any problems since the two builds may be similar. However, I can't be sure, given cross fishing could be risky. I suggest backing up as much as you can before committing. For best stability, you'd likely want to start fresh, full erase, but up to you.

Alternatively, wait for the EU NPNS25.137-93-14 Oreo OTA to be leaked on XDA or other sources. If the Oreo update leads you to the same build as the Indian and Brazil builds (OPS28.85-13) then you could use the EU Oreo OTA to update. I've no idea if VoLTE or other India specific services would work with this approach.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Hrm, was this flash done with a locked or unlocked bootloader? Can you confirm all the files were flashed without problems and you saw [okay] after flashing?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] karan3660:
Yess got that

Flashed 92-14 and got update.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
How were you able to flash 93-14? That firmware isn't leaked as far as I know. In another thread is a screenshot that shows your device on 93-10 which is in fact available.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] david.gs.gm:
How relock bootloader after Oreo oficial instalation? Becoz i tried and cant....say secure downgrade... Etc..tried using the last nougat.... I dont find the Full oficial Oreo zip to download and use to Lock bootloader ?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
EDIT

Sorry, link was for wrong device. Yeah, unfortunately you'd have to wait for the official fastboot stock ROM to lock your bootloader. Probably won't fix your IMEI issues though :(
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] lm_1970:
137-93-14 can be downloaded and installed using Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant. In fact any current firmware can be downloaded with this tool if you connect to your pc the appropriate device.

Nice catch. Didn't know that tool, downloaded 137-93-14 with it.:good:

Roll back

Hey so I upgraded to OPS28.85-13 using the zip file and I'm having issues with my wifi as it keeps disconnecting and I didn't have that issue on NPN137.92-14. So is there a way to roll back to that previous firmware. My WiFi is pretty unusable at this point. I have TWRP backup of 92-14 and I had locked my bootloader before upgrading to Oreo. Or do I have to wait for the Oreo firmware to get leaked?

edit:

I flashed the stock ROM again, it worked!!
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] psychopac:
You can rollback to Nougat but you're gonna have to skip gpt, bootloader and I guess another partition that I'm forgetting here (somebody please correct me on this). There's an easier way but you'll need TWRP and one of those TWRP flashable zips for either Nougat or Oreo (if you wish to get back to it) as they safely install the ROM without upgrading or downgrading some of the crucial partitions that are responsible for bricking the device.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] irfanalinawaz:
You also need newer or same oem file also you can skip gpt and bootloader file but same or higher oem file is must needed to lock bootloader again. You have to wait for official fastboot firmware.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] reganEZ:
Hello,

I did read the title and it says from Custom oreo to stock. Will this method work for Pie custom roms as well?

I tried the steps mentioned by OP and this is what I get.

ro.build.fingerprint[0]: motorola/potter_n/potter_n:8.1.0/O

ro.build.fingerprint[1]: PS28.85-17/9798:user/release-keys

Is there a particular firmware I should download?

I tried other methods mentioned here in the forums and i get error when trying to flash.

thanks in advance
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] riyan65:
You should use retin software as you are from India and you should use the latest version of retin to have the latest firmware.you can get retin firmware form here.https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

And then just go for flashing as given then for bootloader lock procedure.

For flashing you need Motorola drivers and ADB tool to flash, extract the firmware in the ADB folder and open ADB start entering the command from here

fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot

And the enter this commands to lock the bootloader:-

fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flash oem oem.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 boot boot.img
fastboot oem lock

Now you are on stock with locked bootloader.:good:

Hey guys, I'm trying to revert from custom pie to stock, without sucess.

This is the info OP requested:

(bootloader) ro.build.fingerprint[1]: /OPS28.85-17-6-2/77e7:user/release

So, I downloaded this firmware "POTTER_RETAIL_8.1.0_OPS28.85-17-6-2_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml".

However, I'm getting error messages all the time, as visible in the prints.

Can anyone help me with this?

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
The errors on the second screenshot at the bottom (clogo and customize) are totally normal, this is for customizations from Moto maker, you can ignore them. There's another error regarding logo, have you flashed another bootlogo to get rid of the 'the device is not secure' screen?

The rest of the first screen looks pretty normal,not sure what happens on the second screenshot. I'm on mobile now, have to check that at PC for better viewing.Is your device booting into stock? If not what happens (error message)?

Another question, do you use a flashall.bat to make sure you don't have any wrong inputs ?

Here's one for stock Oreo:

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] marcomini0:
Hey, thanks for helping me!

So, I haven't flashed anything besides TWRP and Pixel Experience, so I have no idea why is this error appearing.

And no, the device is not flashing the stock. Whenever I reset my phone, it goes directly to bootloader. When I press "Start", it boots Pixel Experience.

I even tried to use the .bat you sent me, but I got the same results...
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
Every error message is named " command write failed (no error)".

If you google that you often find that there is an issue with the USB connection. Check your USB ports and the cable, or try another PC.

Also, are you using a Linux distribution or Windows? And what kind of ADB and Fastboot tools?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ArjunSindhya:
I am on arrow os pie, want to get it back to stock. Should i backup persist? As per the quoted message, that step isn't mentioned. Thanks in advance.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] riyan65:
For flashing oreo you don't need persist backup as there is no problem in oreo. But if you going for nougat then take a back up of Persist, so in case you lost IMEI then you can get back you presist. But for any unknown problem in future it will better to take a back up presist.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ArjunSindhya:
Oh okay, I will be going back to Oreo itself. Is it okay to flash the latest Oreo even though I was on the older update when I switched to a custom ROM?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] riyan65:
You can flash the latest oreo firmware for your device, it doesn't matter if you go from older to latest, but if you go from latest to older version it will brick your device, so be alert when you download the firmware.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
In short terms: Don't downgrade.

Everything else is ok.

because I'm save the name with a short form number

but if I use the long form I will see the name

(long form) (+012) 3456789

really I don't want to change all my numbers to the long form

my old BA shows the name with the short form

plz help:(

Is it a reg. problem!? so i can solve this with the reg. editor??

waiting for solution:(
[Touch Cruise General] hambola:
Go to Contacts -> then Menu -> Options then area code. but this almost seems like a very US centric setting, again maybe due to regional settings.

So I understand your problem correctly, for a Kuwait number

+965-555-1234 you want to be able to just use 555-1234 without the country code? I don't think there are area codes in Kuwait just country codes correct.
[Touch Cruise General] (^-^):
U R right in Kuwait no area code just country code

and I use to put the country code in the contact option put no use

thanks for your replays:)

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] greys11:
Hi everyone,

I am using tasker a lot of time but I have a problem which I can't solve my own. I am using a nvidia shield with modded Android Tablet os (not lineage but droidmote one). But that's doesn't really matter. I would like to use Amazon video leanback app which isn't displayed in the normal app list but can only be started through settings->apps or with a shortcut on launcher which I use. Therefore Amazon video cannot be found in tasker profiles -> apps. I know that there are plugins for using shortcuts as a task. But I want to select it for a profile - when I quit Amazon video, a task shall be executed.

Do you have any hints for me?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
When you add an app context to your profile, have you tried enabling "all" (bottom right of app screen)? Does the Amazon video app show up as an activity or service then?

Yes, I have tested selecting all but it is not displayed there either
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
OK, so this thought will be less than optimal, but the shield is running of mains power not battery, right?

There is a variable %WIN, that on some devices, monitors the foreground app. You could monitor that variable for when it becomes the Amazon app, then trigger when it becomes something else.

If %WIN doesn't work on your device, then there is some code you could use to monitor the foreground app using raw dump.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] ktmom:
For both the flash action and the pop-up? The flash action uses the app name, the pop-up should contain the package name.

If neither the %WIN variable nor the raw dump finds anything related to Amazon app, then I have no idea how you can identify that it's running.
