it's 56% uploaded, I'm not sure if i'll have much internet tomorrow so created the post now

Okay brilliant! I have the xt1675 and want the stock ROM! This will have ota update right? Also I will still be able to install this through fastboot right?

 

[Livi-Tech]

yes OTA is included ( also some other things )

Okay brilliant! I have the xt1675 and want the stock ROM! This will have ota update right?

yes it is official stock firmware, I was also able to re-lock my bootloader as well, something which others have said isn't possible right now, unfortunately Moto aren't providing updates to this model anymore so OTA update service is kind of pointless, NPP25-337.15 is the last update for this model of the G5, other models of the G5 did get a NPP25-337.33 update with a newer security patch which does work on the XT1675 model but someone from Motorola would know the system was tampered with if an update that's not available for this model was installed, that's why for the past 3 days looking for the XT1675 stock software and eventually found it

OTA for the model isn't working? What!? Why!?

it is but Motorola aren't releasing updates for the XT1675 model anymore

Not even Oreo?

Motorola aren't exactly slow with updates, they would have done it by now, the latest software for our model is 1st Jan 2017 where as other models atleast got a security update a few months later

i've created a proper project page now, use this one - https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/moto-g5-official-npp25-137-15-t3733919

I have XT1675 and have a security patch from November 1st 2017. Motorola has officially announced they will upgrade this device to Oreo.
In fact, I am pretty sure that there is no difference between the firmware for the XT1672 and XT1675. In fact, I am pretty sure that there is no difference between the firmware for the XT1672 and XT1675. The thread below (4th post) gives a version that I and someone else can confirm works for the XT1675, and I believe is the most up to date version.

I know the one you are on about, I used it 2-3 days ago.
Even though the official software for the XT1675 has an outdated security patch ( 1st January 2017 ) which I do dislike since another models ( XT1672 ) updated firmware works perfectly, This is for people who want to go all the way back to official XT1675 software that came with the phone. I have also seen 3-4 people ( there could also be more ) ask about how to go back to stock for the XT1675 version with the NPP25.137-15 software but got provided links to a firmware that doesn't officially belong to this device, how long ago did they confirm they will upgrade to Oreo because they seem to be taking a while compared to what they used to.

i'm not sure if it will work 100% proplerly or not but i'm hoping it will, no problem

and yes this method is for fastboot ( bootloader lock method also available )
a TWRP flashable zip is in the works but obviously there is no bootloader lock for TWRP

The version he is providing is software from another model of the G5 ( XT1672 ) the only official software for the XT1675 was released January 1st 2017
Unfortunately Motorola didn't release any software for our model after January like they did with other models

When Motorola releases Oreo officially after installing your stock ROM for the xt1675 I will hopefully get it?
