Dear friends
Searching the internet, I saw two roms, fi project and the normal project. I would like to know the best way to use it and if there is a difference. I ask this because I use the project fi and noticed a better stability and speed on the phone, but the security patch is not current like another rom. Thanks and hugs
Payton Fi is the Android One version, only receive updates if your software channel is retus, the other one is the international retail ROM, have more modifications than the Fi version.

Only having a phone with the retus software channel, I think it's the XT1900-1 variant.

Got it. In that case, if I install the 1900-1 ROM it might work. What do you think?

It's impossible to effectively change the software, I think it's hardware dependant, other users tried without success to change via root access and flashing other ROM won't change.

Once I installed a 1900-1 by mistake, it worked normally normal. But when there was an update, I did not install it. Probably due to software incompatibility.

Which 1900-1 ROM you installed? If it's the Oreo ROM not A1 it's the international ROM, updates will work normal.

I installed what is on this site, without being an AMZ version. Do not refrigerate me if I got refreshed for an Oreo version, but otherwise, it worked everything normal.

This rom is the international version, even if it's in the 1900-1 folder, you can keep that ROM in your phone and update without a problem.

I liked the Fi project, I found it much lighter. The problem is the patch that is from December, I hope it updates soon so I can go back.

A question to finish the topic. Do you think it's worth using Project Fi? even with an older patch? I ask this because the design is faster and cleaner.

Only if you don't care about the patches, but if you updated your phone to February, flashing an older ROM could brick your device.

Hi everybody!
I have a problem with my Moto G5s Plus.
I can't get security updates through OTA, the last one that my phone have installed is from December 2017.
When I try to update the phone, it says that the last update is already installed.
Is it posible to install security updates manually?
if yes, Where can I find those files?
Or, How to fix this issue?
What can I do?

Android: 7.1.1
Software Channel: openmx
Security Patch: December 01 2017
Compilation Number: NPS26.116-61

That means you flashed wrong fastboot ROM, that was not meant for your region/country or device model..
Now you have to find correct version of fastboot ROM.
Do you have any backup of stock ROM ?
EDIT: build version NPS26.116-61 was indian/asian update for december, definitely you are on wrong build.

The builds that end in #116-61 are all intended for India region.
The builds that end in #116-4X are all intended for North America.
These are all the builds I've written down since owning the Moto G5S Plus
Build: NPS26-116-45 Android 7.1.1 Security June 1, 2017
Build: NPSS26.116-48-9 Android 7.1.1 Security January 1, 2018
Build: NPSS26.116-48-12 Android 7.1.1 Security March 1, 2018
Build: NPSS26.116-48-15 Android 7.1.1 Security April 1, 2018
On Firmware Center you'll see some builds listed as NPS and some listed as NPSS. NPS means it's an original factory build. NPSS means it's an OTA update build.
To answer your question: if you live in North America, download and install the file that says NPS26-116-45. After you install it, go to 'settings' and 'check for update'. You'll immediately get an OTA update. Install the OTA update then 'check for update'. You'll get the next increment OTA update. Install and keep performing 'check for update' until you have the most recent build installed (build NPSS26.116-48-15 as of today).

Hi bro! I also have latam version (XT1801) and I have to use the very same firmware you do, but I don't now how to install security patches manually. Maybe would you explain to me how?
I already have everything I need: VIPER4Android + libraries, Magisk, Xposed, but I have attempted -several times- to lock bootloader to receive them through OTA (of course before flashing everything I mentioned before ), but I got always errors through bootloader/cmd commands, so I definitely need to install those patches manually.
I really will appreciate all help you can give me. Thanks!

Hey everyone!
I still have installed the april security patch in my moto g5s Plus (mid june) and there is not a new one by OTA.
Are you with the same situation?
Does anyone have a different security patch (or even oreo) from OTA?
I'm from Latin America too, the last OTA Update that I received was April Security Patch.
My compilation number is: NPSS26.116-26-14
I got the September security patch yesterday. Still version 8.0.0 though.

Im on retin (Retail India) and still no sign of update. Update comes to Moto Z (2016) & Moto Z2F at the same time..
Only time worth taken a OTA is if it gets a upgrade to Pie..I'm not upgrading from my DU 8.1 until then..
Don't need Pie, I really like oreo. But there is no much difference. So, let Pie come to us. Few bug fixes here and there. But maybe better wait for possible 9.0.1. We will see what we see.

Pie also don't concern me specially when im going to lose the themes:crying: My Major concerns are the bugs which are lying here and there , such as no audio offloading (16bit & 24bit and video) which makes music comes like a crap , no EQ apps can be used due to that. Bug in headphone icon indicator in status bar which doesn't show proper icon for headset with mic (eg.Apple Earpods)
I've been using Los 16 for a few days now and Pie is a huge difference!
Even the fonts have changed for the better. I can't go back to Oreo now. Pie is so much better!

You're rooted. The updater checks the hash of the system, boot, and OEM partitions, if they've been edited the hash will be different and fail the OTA. You would need to flash your system, boot and OEM images from a flash all to take the ota

This is ridiculous. No more Lenovorola from me. Everyone's got Oreo and some phones from other brands have even gone to Pie, but reteu is still behind. Tragic support compared to when it was owned by Google (my XT1032 got updated before the Nexus phones of the time).

Yeah. This is oddly funny. I said no more Motorola after the Atrix fiasco (Android 2.3...... ICS was never released, they promised it... and then the Testing image got leaked.....)
Yet, I've owned another Moto phone, which won't have Android 8.1. But this phone is still good with Nougat. Can't complain.
Got a Nexus 5x from google. New. Turns out it had a hardware failure on all models just a year after the release.
Got a Nexus 4. After a year of usage, just upgraded to Lollipop. Phone started rebooting on its own randomly. Some users have this issue as well.
I don't believe on the manufacturers anymore. My next phone will be a Nokia (and I'll fail for sure)

The Lenovo forums for the 5GS and the 5GS+ are full of VERY annoyed reports on WiFi loss problems after upgrading to 8.1 - so far, these obviously all relate to non-RETEU update channels. Lenovo apparently never officially reacted to these complaints, but several people there seem to have dumped their 5GS/+ phones after the update out of frustration.
So, do those of you who already have updated to 8.1 see any problems with WiFi connections dropping (while connected to a 4G network)? The 'cure' for that seemed to be to disable 4G connections...
What with battery life after the update?
Thanks! Markus68

Each region is huge. If they did them all at once, the load on servers alone would cause problems.
And yes, also likely to see if bugs surface. Thousands more users, greater likely hood of bugs surfacing. Given many different use cases, setups, etc.

I'm having trouble identifying the different models though, I've seen reference to a Chinese (CN), Global, EU but also a 'NA' version? Not sure if some are the same thing? I'm concerned as though from what I can tell the EU version doesn't have LTE Band 28 (which I want) but the NA version does and I'm not sure what I have other than it was branded NX629J.

Hi,
What good is that update ?
Does it bring one of the following features :
- working dark mode ?
- control of front LED ?
- Always On Display ?
- App lock in Recents ?
If none of the features is included, no point in updating.
I don't think I've seen any of these mentioned in the update log, but who knows...
