Moto E 5 security update on rooted device OCPS27.91-140-12 - Moto E5 Questions & Answers

I've got the Moto E Play, XT1921-5, rooted, and I followed the instructions here to update my firmware to OCPS27.91-140-12, and we've recently received 91-140-14. Can I use the same instructions found in the firmware servicefile.xml in the updated release to update my rooted 1921-5? Are there any warnings about things having been patched and being unable to get root back with Magisk?Source: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e5/how-to/firmware-moto-e5-xt1944-4-dual-sim-t3820901

Moto g5s plus OTA

I saw the forum posting saying that the android O update is rolling out in australia and new zealand. this got me concerned because i dont believe my phone can get OTA updates. I rooted and flashed roms and went back to stock, however my bootloader says the phone is modified and google play says the phone is uncertified. is there anyway i can go back to true retail stock to guarantee that i can receive the OTA update when it rolls out in the states?
If you have flashed the correct firmware according to the country where u live u will definately get OTA updates. Many times I flashed Oct security patch updates and after booting I get notification to update my phone. It doesn't matter if bootloader is locked or unlocked , modified or official . Even if you're rooted then also you will receive notification to update but if try to update it may crash. Just make sure it's a clean unrooted official firmware.
I still have the july security patch how do i get the october one?

Can't install OTA updates after flashing stock image

My phone was previously rooted with magisk. I did a complete uninstall of magisk and then fully wiped my phone and installed the stock image. I've tried this multiple times now. After my phone gets set up, I try to download the OTA updates, and it will just say the update failed. Is there something else I am missing here? What is causing me to be unable to update?
Back when the 8.1 update was offered OTA I had a similar problem. For whatever reason OPW28.1 (OPW28.46-13) failed every time. I had to wait for the flashable firmware to become available and then flash it. After that I took all OTAs just fine up to the current version (Jun 2018). If you are willing to wipe your phone you can try to flash the latest firmware instead of trying OTAs.
Latest one is OPW28.3 (OPW28.46-21) 8.1.0 w/ June 2018 security patch:

Moto X4 Android One https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=5862345805528054493
Knowledge of ADB and fastboot is required.

Thanks, I was actually trying something similar when you posted.
I had previously been flashing OPWS27.57-25-6-10 which is 8.0, and it would fail to update every time.
I decided to try a different stock image, and I found an 8.1 image linked from this thread.
I flashed it, and tried ota update again. I initially got an error that the update failed, but I tried again, and it actually worked! So I am up to date on the July patch now!

Sprint Z3 Play 9.0 OTA update sent to phone 7/7/19

Hi, I have the Sprint variant Z3 Play currently rooted on 8.1 with the last update from January and I received the notification that the 9.0 update is available to download and install. I've been reading on how I can install this update but from what I understand, I have to update/re-install magisk using the patched boot IMG from the stock 9.0 IMG. The OTA is labeled PCW29.85-36 however all the stock firmwares I've been able to locate are labeled PPW29.xx. Can I extract the boot IMG from this firmware to patch or does it have to be the exact PCW firmware. And is there an alternative such as unrooting the device, reflashing the latest Current Sprint 8.1 Oreo firmware, taking it back to stock while keeping the bootloader unlocked, and then taking the OTA and re-root? My only reason for the root was to run Viper4Android and would like to keep this setup. I've also read on methods using LMSA but instructions on a rooted device are a little vague to me. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
