Stock and Update - Moto G5 Questions & Answers

I have recently flashed Stock Firmware for moto g5 ( XT1677 ) how to get updates after that?
The bootloader is unlocked.
Can anyone suggest a way?

I'm quite sure it will run into a bootloop if you install an ota update while the bootloader is unlocked.

No, an unlocked bootloader will not broke ota, it will update without any problems

Still, my security patch level is in January 2017 amzn variant, I think its August patch running on... Can anyone suggest how to update to that?

Maybe dial *#*#checkin#*#* ?

Confused
It's just that my device isn't getting the current security patch and can't find the right solution.
Anyone help me out

Didn't try it friend. I'm still B370 & waiting for official OTA.
But according to their changelog there's no app twin function on it.

But not all things are included in chnagelog.
They assume it is already there so they will not add it
This broke my phone
Now the power button doesn't work. Phone restarts often . And dictionary words are missing. I don't know what else is broken. Anyone else experiencing this? How can I fix this?
TWRP
How can I install this update over TWRP ? I have got the Full-OTA from FirmwareFinder.

Downgrade Security version

Guys, currently I'm on October 1st, 2018 Security Patch. I have the system image of April 1st, 2018 for flashing through fastboot, both android 8.0.0.
If I flash it, will my phone get stuck in bootloop or will it work?
My last phone got hardbricked because I unintentionally flashed android 6 Marshmallow after updating to Nougat, so now I'm afraid of hardbricking my new smartphone just because of the security patch.
Please someone give me an advise. (If there would be a link for a system image of october 2018 I'd appreciate haha)
My device was on Oct security before I unlocked it, I am now on the stock April patch firmware with no issues. However, I wish to relock my bootloader now and this is not possible because there is no later firmware than April available. When trying to lock, it fails with security downgrade.

Should be fine, I am on OPSS27.76-12-25 which is April. The October patch was on my device before unlocked.
Although there is an extra S in this one. Mine is OPS27.
Could you show where the junior shared the link?.

Sorry, he didn't share on the forum yet, however it's in his afh. He took from the last link I shared here.
If you pay attention to the image below, which is my smartphone settings, the version has 2 "S", and it's the stock one. I've never unlocked this phone. So it's okay, the october patch has the second S.

I see, so the other S could be something with the new security patch. Unless we have different Z2p. Mine is UK one, but I am sure I read somewhere that there is only one line of firmware for this device, unlike my G5 plus before this that had several versions of the G5 plus.
Yours is Brazil retail mine is Vodafone UK which is a different software Chanel. But the device is same I am sure.

There are no differences between regional updates, I had first updated my phone to Pie vie VPN, and it was fine, because after that I got other updates too.
I tried VPN but could not do anything

By chance, are you on the .19 version of the latest A10 update?? It could be trying to update to the .20 version. However, that's just my guess.
Updated radio? I know there have been many reports of network connection issues across devices on Android 10.

It updates the security patch to october. And that's pretty good. I guess Samsung is not going to improve this firmware any further. Camera won't get any better because the sensor is too small for 24mp, although it's not bad considering the price, and fingerprintsensor also has improved a lot. It just needs to be set up right, and many users don't seem to succeed.
My only reason now to prefer an s series phone over a50 is the camera.

Hi, check out my other thread about GPS issues. I had them with previous version than this and the previous still. I don't think it is related to firmware at this point - until they finally realize it and fix it, of course
