How to return xt1806 to official software status?

I flashed the stock firmware from the guide thats available, but it's on the june security patch. When I check for an update, it says my device is up to date when that's not the case since the november patch was released. When I try to relock the bootloader in attempt to change the status to official instead of modified, it says this:
(bootloader) Security version downgrade
(bootloader) Image o failed validation
(bootloader) Invalid signed image
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 7.031s
for any file I attempt to flash after "fastboot oem lock"
Any ideas?

Don't relock your bootloader, i have experienced this issue on Moto G4 plus.
Relocking will not give you official status back.
According to my experience on G4 plus,
Official status becomes Modified, when you attempt to make modification in stock ROM and stock partitions (/boot, /system, /oem, etc.)
You will get 'Offficial' status back, but not right now.
To get it, you need to take OTA update, updating your device through OTA will make it 'official' again. (I am not sure, every update does not contain update for bootloader, so every update can work or not.)
Moto gives update every 3 month, wait for March/april.
At present, flash December's update. And wait for next update.. next will make it official back..
WARNING: for taking OTA purpose, don't downgrade your firmware, taking OTA from downgraded firmware results in Hard Brickk.

My phone hasn't given me the notification for an update, and whenever it checks for an update it says my phone is up to date so I can't do anything. It seems to not take ota's or receive them I guess. I can't even find the December update anywhere also.

I was using the pixel experience rom on 8.1 but I had to flash 7.1.1. Maybe I could flash a nougat rom and then try and relock it? Either way, the only update available to manually flash is the June update and not Decembers.

The description says it's for variant xt1805, so I'm afraid I can't use it :/ thank you though.

What is OPWS27.113-45-4 (notice the S after OPW)

I am owner of Moto G6 Plus but I have noticed the images others are uploading are "OPW" releases for Moto G6 Plus. I tried flashing one but I got error. Why my stupid phone have different builds, and what's the difference in "OPW" and "OPWS" builds. I guess I cannot use firmwares uploaded here? Any hope for me?

I have too "S" version and I flashed successfully OPW version from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g6/development/firmware-moto-g6-g6plus-t3789274 (after flashing OPW version it's still showing OPWS)
What error you are getting?

I didn't flash the whole firmware. I tried patched boot.img with magisk. I got error something like "partition boot-1 doesn't exist".

You probably need to use "mfastboot" instead of "fastboot" command. Download this: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754477464
Unpack it and place the boot.img in same directory. Open Command Prompt in that directory. Correct command is: mfastboot flash boot bootimagename.img
Here you can also find the correct patched boot.img: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g6/how-to/guide-magisk-patched-boot-image-opw27-t3794977

Got the S too
Hi,
I bought my new Motorola G6+ Evert last week here in Mexico. (where I live)
It's fully unblocked
Version PVT1, SKU XT1926-6
Running Oreo 8.0
But I wondered me about that Build Number.
While every tutorial is saying that I can just flash TWRP with that Build-Number : OPW27.113-45-4
Because I have: " OPWS27.113-25-4 "
I've upgradet OTA and it still says, that I have the latest security patch (1. June 2018) and so on....
So I wonder if I can unlock the bootloader, flash OPW27.113-45-4 or OPWS27.113-45-4 to be able to install TWRP Recovery from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76501832&postcount=3
Purpose:
I can't wait to get my new babe rooted to install the real hot Stuff on it.
But it's still confusing why I got that different Build Number.... Maybe it's because of my location.
But i'am not shure if it is safe to root it and to flash SuperSU and TWRP. With my B-Number.
So may some one got the right Firmware for me ?
Sunny Greetings

OPW27.113-45 is normal firmware.
OPWS27.113-45-4 is same firmware but with new security patch.
S for Security and 4 for revision version.
You can't install a previous version of the current on the device without unlocking the bootlader.

And what about the "-25" vs "-45"? I have the same firmware here (Argentina): OPW27.113-25
Thanks!

Also what about this version OPW27.113-89 with security patch level 1 July 2018 for Australia.

how to dow

Hello, I cannot downgrade to Nougat, I keep getting "Sw Rev Check Fail Device 2 Binary 1" on the phone side and ODIN simply says failed. When I try to downgrade from Oreo to Nougat. I have not been able to enable "OEM Unlock".
BTW, Sorry for incomplete title as the title bar disappears and I can only type a little bit.

What model do you have? And what firmware version were you on before trying to downgrade? Some firmwares include bootloader updates which cannot be rolled back.

I have a N950F and this is the Oreo image I succesfully flashed "BL_N950FXXU3CRC1_CL13094739_QB17155977_REV00_user_low_ship.tar"
I can flash "COMBINATION_FA71_N950FXXU3ARA5" without a problem which is 7.1.1 But I think it's the bootloader that is giving me issues and since the combination file doesn't include a bootloader (AFAIK) it goes through, but when I try to put in any bootloader from Nougat, the flash fails.
I tried flashing:
-BL_N950FXXU1AQI1_CL12007350_QB14830234_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
-BL_N950FXXU1AQHB_CL12007350_QB14652984_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
and both failed. It's important to note that I'm trying to flash the whole thing, not just the "BL" file. I just pasted the BL file name because I think it holds the information you need.

Ok thanks for providing the info. One more question, what Odin version are you using?

It is not possible to downgrade.

3.13.1

I have a similar problem. Bought my N950F in Panama but I'd like to change to Brazil's ZTO(unbranded) to be able to use Samsung Pay there.
I got Odin 3.13.1 and the ROM N950FXXU3CRDF_N950FOXM3CRE4_ZTO (latest 8.0.0) from SamMobile. When I try to flash I get the "Check Fail BOOTLOADER" message. Trying to uncheck the BL, I get another error but also not able to flash. Maybe my phone has a newer version that doesn't allow it to in theory "downgrade"?
Any solution?

Yes some bootloaders can't be downgraded to earlier ones. What firmware version are you coming from?

@sefrcoko, I'm currently on Android 8.0.0, Baseband N950FXXU4CRG8, Build number R16NW.N950FXXU4CRGA.
I don't know if this is older or newer than the one I'm trying to flash. Is there a way to do it?
Thanks!

Hi, yes you are on the "U4" bootloader and trying to downgrade to the "U3" bootloader (look at those characters in the build numbers, that's the bootloader version). Can't downgrade from u4 to u3 though.

Am i Lost OTA update??

Hello everyone..
I was @ Android 8 then i flash rom 8.1 bootloader still locked not rooted
Model xt1900-7 the software channel reteu
So wat i ask for is by flashing other updated rom means I lost OTA & if so how to fix that & get OTA again?

Yes, you lost your OTA. The only way to updating is flashing official zips via ADB.

Noway to fix that??

No - and that's why you don't flash this phone if you want to keep it stock. Or don't flash it all.
---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------
On practical side - live with it or try Lineage.

Is your bootloader unlocked?
The only ROMs that I have seen for this phone are for North American models- Amazon, Fi, and retail US.
If you can find a leaked ROM for your phone, you should be able to flash back to stock and receive OTAs again.

OTAs from reteu channel require previous reteu ROM version. It means correct previous Blur_Version. OTA update from retus Blur_Version is impossible to reteu Blur_Version.
For example, "Blur_Version.27.301.32.payton.retail.en.US" (October 2018 reteu OTA) requires previous "Blur_Version.27.281.28.payton.retail.en.US" (August 2018 reteu OTA).
If you want get OTA again, you have to flash correct reteu fastboot ROM (OPWS27.57-40-22 = "Blur_Version.27.281.28.payton.retail.en.US" could work).
You have to unlock bootloader, because flash from 8.1 retus to 8.0 reteu is downgrade and downgrade is impossible with locked bootloader..

Links to stock rom and radio

I want to flash my pixel 5 with stock ROM ans radio.
Where do I get those?
I found a link to official repo. But not sure which one work for US pixel for T-Mobile?
Seems like those are the only one w/o non US countries and not Verizon.
11.0.0 (RD1A.200810.022.A4, Oct 2020)
11.0.0 (RD1A.201105.003.C1, Nov 2020)
Which us the right one?
And what about flashing a modem?
