Hi folks,
tried to do a rapid lookup and it seemed to me not to find a similar post. I apologise if I looked superficially.
Well: I rooted and flashed a stock rom (nps 26.116-61 security patch 1st Dec 2017), flashed modem from another working rom
PROBLEM: It does not roll out any security update till now , nor updates of firmware (maybe it's the same)
Is it because it is rooted?
If I unroot (seems not trivial) will i be able to get OTA again?
many thanks :fingers-crossed:
regards

You'll need to flash back to stock and apply all OTAs before flashing ROOT, then also make a DD backup of the OEM partition because the current public version of TWRP backs up or restores the OEM partition wrong which breaks OTAs again.
Also, Moto seems to keep track of device serial numbers or something and won't send OTAs to devices that are rolled back. You'll need to use the offline OTA downloader and flash them using ADB (you can't just copy them to the device because the device is encrypted by default and the bootloader can't apply OTAs that way.
Here's the OTA doanload tool. https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...s-motorola-t3810863/post76954902#post76954902

thanks very much. although OTA d'er didn't work
i actually discovered that root does NOT affect the no-more-OTA thing. It took me to flash EFS (to get imei back) to interrupt OTA (even if it seems to me that before flashing EFS, OTA were being recalled). Maybe it's just like your hypothese, i.e. that Motorola does not send OTA to unfaithful unblocking users. How sad is that? When you unblock it they make you "sign" that you cannot even sell the mobile! last Moto experience for me , highly probably!

You have a RETEU device but it is saying you have a country and region of US and a software version of US, as if something is wrong between what the device model number is vs the software it's running.

Done successfully. Imei recognized without flashing efs.
Is June 2018 last OTA? Cause both OTA upgrader and system information days system is up to date. It would be awesome if flashing this stock would bring OTAs automatically back. Thanks again!

June 2018 is currently the latest available for all regions that is general release. There's soak test Oreo but it's best to wait for general release. You will get OTA since you're up to date with correct region now.

Hi all,
Currently receiving an OTA alert about firmware 22.41.24.en.gb. Anyone know what this is? 5.1? Can't install as I am currently rooted with custom recovery and xposed framework. Is all I need to do to install change to the stock recovery?
I've got this update as well this morning. Also rooted with TWRP. I'm no expert but I would say we need to wait for someone to make an update we can flash from recovery.
What is your model?

Locally I have stock image + ota
I can upload ota but for apply it you have to use everything stock
I removed root via super su app menu and reflashed the stock recovery.img before accepting the upgrade.
Then once the update installed ok I put TWRP and root back on the device.

Now that you have ota installed, can you tell me your system version and build number? I have 22.21.28.thea_reteuall.en.EU retfr system version and LXB22.46-28 build number and I didn't receive any OTA upgrade notice. I have not done any mod (root, custom recovery...) to stock
OTA Fails
Damn, even after full unroot and flashing back the stock recovery the OTA fails... And I can't really read why.
Except for root, I installed system settings Tasker plugin and converted it into a system app as well as froze some CN bloatware apps with TB. I will now reflash twrp and reroot and first try to unfreeze and as a last step uninstall the Tasker plugin.
If anybody has some solid experience, please share and maybe save me some time.
Thanks!
UPDATE: Alright, that all didn't work. I realized that the tasker plugin does not copy anything to the system, but I had a Helper app from PinTasker there which I deleted. And I unfroze all the apps and did a full unroot, but still no luck. I don't know what to do anymore now except for going full back to stock (no gapps), but I would rather avoid that if possible.
Still, glad for any input on this matter!
Thanks

Hi, is it possible to flash the stock retgb firmware (on locked bootloader) if the phone came with the retde firmware? Since they are exactly the same model (xt1072) and both firmwares are digitally signed by motorola.
I ask cause the retde hasn't received this ota update yet, and if I switched it to the retgb i could get the ota update right away for the newer modem and bootloader before i unlocked and got cm.
Thx

This could end up in hard brick also if OTA detects other system modifications. You should just edit the OP with a warning.

I don't think it's a useful thread as there is a specific thread to give information about installing Official firmware and relocking the bootloader.!
Please moderator check this once.
This might damage the devices if anyone tries to update the ROM through OTA, by just changing the recovery being the variety ,oem and bootloader status changed.

In stock Moto G5s plus rom I had installed TWRP and rooted the phone and just wanted the stock recovery so that i can install April security patch, The recovery was installed however when it tried to install the April update it failed, All though it did load the OS and i was back to where i was.
Whole story in short if you have rooted the phone with TWRP and need stock recovery just to install latest update, IT WONT WORK.
You will need to install SANDERS_NPS26.116-61_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml from site firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20G5s%20Plus/Stock/ and then start the entire thing from scratch and then it will update over OTA as well regardless if bootloader is unlocked.
once your device installs all updates you can then install TWRP again and root it if you want to. but if you do that and wish to get OTA you will need to go back to stock and repeat the whole process from scratch.
Could always just do "fastboot boot" instead of "fastboot flash". It will allow you to then boot twrp, install what you want, and not touch the stock recovery.

Hey! I Finally did this, I removed the twrp and the root, I Just installed this stock (?) rom through the "adb fastboot". Now when I look for OTA updates it appears a message that indicates that the latest security update is installed, it's the one of December 2017...
Why doesn't it appear the last one (april's or so)?
What I have to do in order to have or reactivate the OTA updates?
Thanks in advance!
Make sure the correct stock rom is installed. (Cross check the name word to word) I too tried a few different stock ROMs and only the above version worked and updated till April security patch. Rest versions didn't update for some reason.

Don't go by date go by exact name and number of rom as I mentioned. I tried almost all the firmwares listed and only the one that I mentioned updated to latest april security patch. Matter of fact i just restored phone to stock yesterday and it worked again. Also copy all the commands to a notepad and save the same as .bat file so that way you can just run the file and it will automatically install stock rom and reboot phone.
---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------
Check software channel name in settings. Mine is listed as retin. I read that there are other software channels too for which updates security patch has not been released yet. I may be wrong though.

Hi all,
I've just applied the 01 April Security Patch and my phone has rebooted into TWRP. If I select to reboot, it starts to reboot and goes back into TWRP. Any ideas as to how I can get it to reboot back to normal ?
So I'm basically stuck in a TWRP Bootloop

Hi, you should know that you can't get updates via OTA once you have modified system, and unlocking bootloader and flashing TWRP is certainly a system modification, so I really hope that you made a TWRP backup before trying to update. In case you didn't, try flashing official firmware using fastboot, also there is one post in XDA with a TWRP backup in case you messed up, if you can't use fastboot or don't have a backup, try using that one. Remember to NEVER update via OTA unless your phone is fully unmodified.

Hi, you should know that you can't get updates via OTA once you have modified system, and unlocking bootloader and flashing TWRP is certainly a system modification, so I really hope that you made a TWRP backup before trying to update. In case you didn't, try flashing official firmware using fastboot, also there is one post in XDA with a TWRP backup in case you messed up, if you can't use fastboot or don't have a backup, try using that one. Remember to NEVER update via OTA unless your phone is fully unmodified.

I'm in the same boat. I just followed this thread and did everything right when restoring my stock ROM for Sprint. The only thing I didn't do was lock the bootloader. I cannot do OTA updates, fails every time. Someone mentioned a few pages in that thread, that right now it's a 50/50 chance due to an unknown variable. Give the forum time we will get it

I'll try tonight after the Gym and see if I can get it to update for me

For me, that variable is twrp. If I flashall to stock I can take the ota, then resinstall twrp and root after. Worked today too.
I was going to install LineageOS and just gave up on it lol. So I flash-all'd back to stock and the OTA worked this time.
So is there a method for clean flashing or i just flash over a rom using fastboot? I tried flashing a retail rom on my tmobile variant, it work but some things were broken.

which flashall did you use? I'm trying to do this too and it fails no matter what. did you also re-lock the boot loader for the ota to work?
I've tried unlocked and locked and it still doesn't take the OTA for me.

You'd think Motorola would have released an updated flash-all. Maybe they have?

This phone is really weird. I got the update to work the very first time I flashall but twrp bootlooped and it won't install after the second flashall, tried multiple times.
This phone is really software wonky

When the update first came out, the December path I think, it was simply generic Android security updates, nothing specific to our phone or fixes, at least for the TMobile version
Hi,
I just unlocked my X4 (XT1900-2) to try Magisk and all worked good.
Now, when I wanted to revert, I just installed the stock image using fastboot and adb.
After installing them and re-locking my bootloader I was not able to change my system status to Official(I installed Ryzen Kernel before).
Nor I am able to install any OTA to change it to Official, can anyone tell me how can I install OTA update and change my status to Official and be stock again.
Please help!!!
Thanks in advance,
Divanshu Chauhan
Can you provide the information of system flashed because if correct system has been flashed then the status should change to official. Try reflashing the system.

The system seems to be correct but its not official signed image so try to reflash the system or factory reset or try to get latest system signed image flash it and then check the status.
But many users have faced this problem even after flashing stock rom and relocking the bootloader they were unable to install ota.

You can try but make sure this stock rom is for xt1900-2 ,the other option is to wait till motorola releases signed images for the device ? or to visit the authorized service center they might flash the system and give your device back in official state.

Well, I can't take device to authorised service centre because my warranty is void now.
Can you tell me the estimated time till motorola releases signed images for my device?

Its upto motorola when to release the signed images for the device but you can try to flash system from the link
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=229118
Select the payton image that has latest build and for safety i would suggest unlock your bootloader and try to flash the system .
Try to flash PAYTON_OPWS28.46-21-9 from the link it might help.

My device is on 1 April 2018 patch after flashing the firmware which I attached as link in one of the above posts.
I am not able to install 1 June 2018 security patch update.
Is there any problem with my A/B partition system?
Also, when I rooted my device, I was on 1 October 2018 patch.

so i guess you will have to wait till firmware is released with latest security patch because you have broken ota so only option left is to update device using fastboot . Did you get any error like pre-validation failed while returning back to stock ?
You won`t be able to install ota until your device status changes from modified to official.

I get error like system is modified/corrupt.
Should I flash xt1900-7, xt1900-6 or xt1900-1 version?
Also when I flashed xt1900-1 version, it showed me something like 'Mode has been set to logging' on Moto Logo

I have seen video tutorials in which they flashed android one firmware on retail but you will have to keep bootloader unlocked .But i would suggest you to flash custom rom if you keep bootloader unlocked atleast you will get additional features and once moto x4 recieves android 9 update then you might get official system image to flash via fastboot and return back to stock. Search on youtube for tutorials it might help you ?

Hey. I used this rom as well to move back to stock but OTA's work fine for me. Currently on the 1 Oct patch. I still get the warning message during bootup even if I relock it. But apart from that everything else works fine.
The only thing different I have done is use the flash script from the below linked thread. Not that it should have made any difference but you guys might as well try and see.

Have you re-locked your bootloader after flashing this script?
Did you use Linux or Windows?
I tried relocking but then the warning changes to that of a unsigned system image being used. Don't remember the exact wordings. So then I moved to back to unlocked bootloader.
I am using windows.
