Stock Boot image Android Pie? - Nokia 8 Questions & Answers

Does anyone have or can provide stock boot.img for either 2020 jan or 2020 april SP update?
I'm stuck trying to get OTA updates, since mine isn't stock. I tried having stock on slot A or B, but doesn't work now.
Thanks!

There is a stock pie image around here somewhere, if I am not mistaken? Could be flashed without losing any data also.

Firmware update...

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

My phone was retgb so I flahsed retgb [emoji14]
Is there a way to flash the modem and bootloader from the OTA file through adb?

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

Moving from RR Nougat to oreo

So, I am on RR nougat official firmware(4.15 or whatever lol) but want to move to Oreo....what must I do?
Download OTA from OP site, plug 3T into PC, wipe data and flash ota. When finished you can lock bootloader if you want or follow root guide.

Oh, well in that case, do a full wipe (everything but data if you want to keep your downloaded files), flash the latest OB firmware, the ROM, gapps, whatever else you want (magisk uninstall for unroot?

No need to ever flash any factory images. The firmware is enough.

Hardware firmware and "ROM" system is not the same. The firmwares used by the Bluetooth controller and modem hardware is independent of the ROM except for the fact that the application layer apps/phone RIL must be able to communicate with the modem firmware. Therefore it's important to have the matching firmwares in the phone for the ROM bundled binary packages (binaries and firmwares taken from the same original OxygenOS ROM) for them to be as compatible as possible.

How to update unlocked and rooted stock rom?

Hello there.
My G5s+ is suggesting a security update. But since I did unlock the bootloader and rooted it with magisk I did not install it.
My question is: What is the best way to update the phone?
Just flash the new stock rom? And where do I get those?
Thanks in advance.
Nobody here that can tell me how to upgrade?
Should I just flash the new version if I get it somewhere?

Unlocked bootloader will not affect the OTA installation..!
The reason the OTA-Update fails is that one of the boot, system, logo or recovery partitions are changed.
Magisk modifies the boot image.
On rooted device..OTA may brick the device..so avoid OTA installation..!
Reply your current build Number from about phone..
Do a clean flash.

Flash 26-11 full firmware
Where can I find full firmware versions of the stock rom to flash?
My build version is: NPSS26.116-26-4
As I understand it, there are two new security patches since that version? If I'm flashing one of the newer versions, is it just a case of dirty flashing it normally through twrp? No need to factory reset?

If that is the firmware build you need, you could try the firmware here: https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto G5s Plus/Stock/ but ensure you download the correct firmware. (credit to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g5s-plus/how-to/xt1804-able-to-lock-bootloader-npss26-t3722572) Also, verify it is the firmware you require and was the latest firmware build on your device - please don't downgrade with stock firmware (else you may hard brick with OTA updates corrupting your bootloader)...
Stock OTA updates, as mentioned above, require fully stock firmware - they will not flash with root, modifications or TWRP (and attempting to flash via TWRP may soft bootloop your device). Thus, you must re-flash the stock firmware - you may be able to save your data by omitting the 'fastboot erase userdata' command and you do not have to re-lock your bootloader. However, I'm not familiar with the G5S Plus and I hope another user can provide you with flashing commands.
I would still recommend you make a backup of your device in TWRP and keep that safe, in case you have to wipe your data for stability.

[SOLVED] Is it just me? Stuck on Android 7.1.1/Nov 2017 Security Patch Level

So, when I go to try and check for system update, it says I'm already up to date. I have the stock 7.1.1 (RETUS/Non-Fi) Retail XT1900-1, (re)locked bootloader. Has there been no official OTA after November? (I did try to manually flash other builds/Oreo/Fi ROM/etc. but flashed back to 7.1.1 stock/Nov 2017 since Android Pay is something I use and other ROMs didn't let me use that). Did I miss something while flashing back to stock that's borked OTAs? [Tried wiping through stock recovery, through TWRP, etc. no difference) Any answers would be great! TIA!
Answer: Looks like it was just me.
Update: Fixed it! Reimaged stock from September 2017 and OTAs began to work! Right now OTA updating to 8.0. So happy!

Nope. Still on stock recovery. Since the stock recovery is nowhere to be found for this device, I have refrained from flashing TWRP (I had only fastbooted TWRP, never installed it on here).

Updating vendor firmware Moto X4

Is there a firmware that can be flashed without going back to stock? I have LineageOS and want to update the vendor firmware without going back to stock and losing everything.

That doesn't update the vendor firmware. That only updates the OS.

Ah... So what is your current vendor firmware?
The vendor image is included with the rom. The bootloader and radio can be updated in recovery through adb. I haven't seen any zips that flash them. In my experience, updating the radio and bootloader sometimes ends up in bricks that require the blankflash files to recover.
