Before I had disabled 'automatic developer updates, and that cause the August security update notification to stop, but now it's back, and it seems like Moto is forcing this update. The "No, not now" button has left as well. I have to use recents to tell it no, and then it just returns 5 minutes later! I'm beginning to think that I should just update to 93-18 just so it will shut up.

Lost network and VOLTE after updating

Previously I lost VOLTE when i returned to stock nougat after flashing oreo ROMs. I managed to fix it the baseband version ended with e. Now i flashed, 92-14 stock ROM and then updated to Oreo. After updating my imei is 0 on both SIMs and i dont get network or VOLTE. How can i fix this?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
Sounds like you have flashed someone else's persist file to fix it? If yes you're most likely screwed. But have a look here:

I did flash someone else's persist. I did it according to the following post https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/how-to/solved-volte-fix-lost-flashing-stock-rom-t3773524/page28 . Well, the damage had already been done before he mentioned that we should not flash someone else's persist. And on many threads, people said that the problem will be solved when we upgrade to stock oreo.

But now I'm stuck with a phone that can't get network. I tried flashing every EFS i have. It still shows no signal.

Read the last FAQ, and flash the soak test 1 firmware. You may as well just stick with the TWRP flashable builds from now on.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] rl_2015:
That's strange, for me the notification does have the "No, maybe later" button. One thing that I have noticed is that if I reboot the device, I have to force stop the "Motorola Update Services" app again. If not, I get the notification. But as long as "Automatic system updates" is disabled it doesn't keep bothering me.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Lucifer2311:
I'm not getting signal on my sim atm. No 4G or volte. I messed up the phone so much that it seems impossible to get back signal on my phone. IMEI is not 0 but there is no signal. Is there any way i can get back my signal? Any help is appreciated.

That,s why you need soak test 1, it restores phone modem software.

I have fastboot version of stock Oreo ROM. Will that be of any use? Btw i lost signal and volte after updating to Oreo from Nougat.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
No, only flashing the TWRP flashable soak 1 seems to fix the network problem. You'll have to say goodbye to fastboot ROMs.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Lucifer2311:
Ok i got my network and volte working as of now. But i think once i return to stock it'll be gone. For now, I'll stick around with custom ROMs.

I flashed NOS when I lost network after returning to stock.

I lost my network when i upgraded from stock nougat to oreo. So i flashed NON-HLOS.bin file from 92-14 fastboot folder and then erased modemst 1 and 2. After that i booted into twrp and flashed the old EFS file i had backed up when my VOLTE was working.

When I rebooted twrp, i got signal and volte and everything is working fine. The only problem is that the baseband version ends with 47a. But i guess that's not a big deal since I got my network back. I'll stick to custom ROMs till there is a solution to this problem.

Thanks,

Today I've received the update, I'm from Argentina
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] nvrpayretail:
Are you saying the OTA Oreo update can be applied over the 93.18 via fastboot? Really need to know because the August update screwed my phone - major battery drain - and evidently I"m not alone (many complaints found searching the web). I thought those of us who installed the August security update had to wait for retus OTA update availability. Can you please clarify... Thanks.......
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] nvrpayretail:
Thanks for the info. I knew that I could fastboot flash a full rom but didn't know I could flash an update zip. Do you know if I follow the same procedure as flashing a full rom or do I have to find a downlevel nougat full rom to fastboot flash?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
You can't fastboot flash a OTA update, you need the full ROM. Here's one from page 1 of this thread, as far as I know it's the version for India (if there's a different Oreo firmware for India, it was like this with Nougat, maybe Motorola changed that)
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] MineMasterHD:
Before I knew there was a retus package for NPNS25.137-93-14, I installed the update to NPNS25.137-93-18, and now the packages obviously won't work. Is there a chance that an updated package will be made for retus that supports the new update or will I have to dreadfully wait for the official Moto OTA?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] nvrpayretail:
Oh, ok, thanks. I didn't look at the file size and for some reason I thought that was a copy of the OTA update file.

Many thanks....

Edit: So I went back and reread the first post and my initial understanding was right. I had downloaded the update file for potter (blur......) which appears to be different from the India full ROM that is linked there. I downloaded a 93-10 full ROM and think I'll try fastboot flashing that. With any luck that will work and get me back to a valid pre-August update level that will at least stop the battery drain issue.

Hi mates, I'm on retla channel, June security patch, compilation NPNS25.197-92-14, would you recommend to apply this update? Thanks in advance.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] MineMasterHD:
Yeah, if you fastboot flash that, you should be able to use the nonfastboot OTA zip file for retus to update to Oreo using adb sideload.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] nvrpayretail:
After a lot of work I finally got NPNS25137-93-18 off my phone and am back to NPNS25137-93-14. For those of you who are as disgusted as I was with the terrible battery drain 93-18 introduced, here's what I did to get back to 93-14:

Backup - Backup - Backup

Download and fastboot flash full NPNS25137-93-10 ROM.. There are several places where it is posted for download including instructions for flashing. One place is here: https://www.getdroidtips.com/npns25...eps_to_InstallNPNS25137-93-10_on_Moto_G5_Plus NOTE: This WILL wipe your phone and you'll be back to reset status so make sure you've backed up your data prior to executing this step. If in doubt, see step 1.

Force an OTA update to get NPNS25137-93-14. Initially when I tried this it said something like "update service not available" but after waiting a bit it worked just fine.

Re-enable Developer Options and disable Automatic Updates (this is to prevent prompt to install NPNS25137-93-18!)

Reinstall any apps / data and you're back in business.

If you want to install the OTA 8.1 update just follow the instructions @NZedPred provided back around page 5 of this thread.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

After my experience backing off the August Nougat update (it took forever to get everything setup again despite having backuups, etc.) I have the OTA file downloaded to my internal storage and if I force an update the phone does see the file and ask if I want to install but I want to install TWRP and do a full system backup before I try installing it. Does anyone know if the OTA update will install if TWRP is installed? I don't care if TWRP gets overwritten. I'd just like to be able to do a straight OTA installation rather than have to sideload. Thanks......

If the firmware on the phone is not stock the OTA update will probably fail. You don't need to flash TWRP to do a backup. You can boot TWRP without flashing it. Just execute fastboot boot twrp.img instead of fastboot flash recovery twrp.img.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] nvrpayretail:
Well, the saga continues. I've never had so much trouble doing an update. Here's the chronology:

Verified that update service has storage access

Execute force system update

Update file is found

Phone copies update

I select "Install"

Package processes

Phone restarts

Circle with "Installing system update" progress line displays for a few seconds

Bang - get the dreaded dead android solder Error!

Wait for a bit and phone reboots and I get notification that the update failed.

I tried downloading a fresh copy of the update package from Pg. 5 but still no luck. I should also note that I have Automatic Updates disabled to prevent 93-18 installation but I would assume that has nothing to do with the issues I'm having. I verified that the build number is still NPNS25.137-93-14. Anybody with any thoughts on where to go next?

Thanks....
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
If you're on RETUS channel the 93-18 update may be the prequesite for any future Oreo update that rolls out in the US. So your device may not accept any other update.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] nvrpayretail:
Yup, understand that. But 93.18 is garbage so at this point all I want to do is get to 8.1 and since this is an OTA from a compatible region I have no concerns about using it if I can just get it to load.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] TargetedNuke:
I don't know any of what the "(bootloader)" stuff is, but you don't flash the OTA. You put it in Internal storage, give Moto Update services storage permission, and check for updates.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] abdulmajid4128:
Can i flash it via adb sideload Or via Sd card?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] rl_2015:
You can try reflashing 93-14 then applying the Oreo OTA update again. Try using the Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant to download the 93-14 firmware:

https://support.lenovo.com/br/en/downloads/ds101291

After your phone is detected (it may take a couple of minutes if you are first running the program) go to "Flash" then choose "Rescue". Then select "Motorola" and "XT1687". The screen will display the current firmware for the device. A few days ago it was still showing the 93-14 firmware, and hopefully they haven't updated it to 93-18 yet. Click on the download icon to start the download. After it has downloaded you can flash directly from here or you can get the firmware from the C:\ProgramData\LMSA\Download\RomFiles folder to flash with fastboot. It may be a good idea to copy the firmware from this folder and save it in case Lenovo updates the servers to 93-18. I have a backup copy of the 93-14 firmware that I will upload in a few days if this doesn't work for you (my upload speed is very slow).

Try applying the OTA zip immediately after booting and setup. I have found that sometimes even the slightest change to the partitions by TWRP will cause an OTA to fail, so try not to go into TWRP before applying the update.

I highly recommend updating to Oreo, and I don't know why Lenovo is holding this up from retus. I haven't experienced any issues, and the performance is much better, as others have stated.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] abdulmajid4128:
I have Motorola XT1686. when i connect it with Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant to download Motorola XT1687 Rom its not recognized it and ask information inputed not match with the connected device your device is Motorola XT1686 . Do you want to apply it. i proceed yes but failed. But i downloaded POTTER_NPNS25.137_92_14_cid50_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip with Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant but it not working after flasing Oreo files
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] nvrpayretail:
I downloaded the fresh copy of 93-14, although I suspect that it's the same as the one that I previously used to back out of 93-18. It took quite a bit of work to get everything reinstalled and configured after the 93-18 debacle so I'm a bit reluctant to do a flash that will reset me back to ground zero again. Also, just to note, TWRP is not installed on the phone. I only did a flashboot boot so that I could get a good, complete system backup so I don't think TWRP did anything else to affect the partitions. I think my next step will be to try to sideload the update. If that doesn't work I'll probably bite the bullet and do as you suggest or perhaps modify the 93-14 package to eliminate data destruction.

Thanks....

Edit: Sideload failed but at least now I have some info as to why it's failing:

E2004: oem partition fails to recover...oem has been remounted R/W and has changed the partition contents...Partition contents should not be changed for successful updates;reflash device to enable OTA updates e:error in /sideload/package.zip (status 7)​

I would assume that when I ran TWRP backup it remounted the partition and caused the problem as @rl_2015 noted. I guess I'm stuck starting from scratch again. Yuck.........

Edit #2: Well, good fortune finally. Rather than doing a straight flash of 93-14, I fastboot flashed it and omitted the 'normal' step of erasing user data. I then forced an system update using the OTA 8.1 file and all went well. Success at last.

Many, many thanks to all who helped me......

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] nvrpayretail:
Although everything seemed to have gone ok when you initially applied the OTA update, it seems that something didn't go quite right. If you were working fine on nougat and didn't have any problems until you did the OTA update to oreo I doubt that you coincidentally experienced a hardware problem. Have you tried to adb sideload the Oreo update file? If not, I think that's the first thing I'd try. That will reinstall the update and hopefully resolve your issue. If that doesn't work, the next question is: Did you take a full system backup before you applied the OTA update? If you did, then I'd restore from that (after insuring that you have a backup of your EFS and Persist), and, assuming that you phone boots fine then, try applying the OTA update. If you don't have a full system backup you may have to make sure you have a backup of your EFS and Persist and flash a copy of nougat (per my earlier post) - since I don't think a full rom of oreo is available yet - and then proceed with the OTA update. Unfortunately, this will require reinstalling and customizing all of your apps again.
