Try here these are for Rectn.
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/addison_cn/official/RETCN/

With this Firmware I get:
"E:footer is wrong
E: signature verification failed"
What can I do?
I bought this phone out of China, much cheaper and with 64GB storage instead of 32GB.

I believe you would have to be connected to a Chinese carrier that has those updates. US carriers don't have anything for that phone.
I don't see any retcn in these...

If you have a Moto Z Play from China with retcn and it has Google Play Installed- it's a custom ROM. It won't get OTAs and it's not possible to install official retcn updates. I have the 64Gb retcn phone that came with same ROM out of the box.
If you really need a stock retcn ROM (no Google Play, MIUI-styled launcher)- flash it with RSDlite or just with fastboot, but you will lose your data. I suggest you just to flash retus ROM. You still won't get OTAs but you'll be able to download them later and install using fastboot. If you really want to get over-the-air updates- flash the Verizon rom. It's even better then retus in some regards, will install updates automatically. On the downside- it's bloated with some Verizon apps (Messenger, Navigator, etc)

Thanks to all of you!
With RSDlite, I was able to open the bootloader. The official method didn't worked...
Now I have official Lineage OS=Android 7!

CAN-L01C432B340: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G79/g0/v77904/f1/full/update.zip
Changelog: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G79/g0/v77904/f1/full/changelog.xml

CAN-L01C432B340: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G79/g0/v77930/f1/full/update.zip
Changelog: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G79/g0/v77930/f1/full/changelog.xml
The Full Updates you should be able to install from Marshmallow which will bring you to the current release of Nougat on the Nova and the Small Updates you can install from the Nova Nougat build CAN-L11C432B320 and CAN-L01C432B320.
If your device comes up with NRD90M test-keys then for the CAN-L11C432 variant you can try installing this after to get the correct Build number showing and functionality working: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...-L11_hw_eu/update_data_full_CAN-L11_hw_eu.zip and for the CAN-L01C432 variant: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...-L01_hw_eu/update_data_full_CAN-L01_hw_eu.zip.
I have managed to get it to work on the CAN-L01C432 variant but a couple of others have not managed to install the hw eu update for their device which has left them with NRD90M test-keys showing under Build number and themes not working.
I tried to update but it fails at 41%. I'm on CAN-L01C02B130 , Vodafone branded.

These updates are for CAN-L01C432 and CAN-L11C432 variants of the Nova. You can try this if you want to but I am not sure if it will work on a branded device: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G79/g0/v74460/f1/full/update.zip. This is the latest Nougat update I have found for the CAN-L01C02 variant of the Nova.

It's up to you if you want to try it. You have to flash the recovery by adb first if you do this and then try updating again I see no reason why it should not work.

Unfortunately yes which is why I said it's up to you if you want to try it out. Some guys were lucky with the beta Nougat releases on the Nova which installed easily via the updater app or recovery on the device whereas you, me and others have had a bit more trouble which has required us to do more to update. Where it is a official Huawei recovery you may be able to flash it with adb without issues but I'm not sure. It's your call if you want to try it.
Thanks for the help man, i flashed first the recovery and then the update and all was ok. Very grateful.

Extract this: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...-L01_ti_it/update_data_full_CAN-L01_ti_it.zip and put the UPDATE.APP in a dload folder on the root of your SD Card and install it like the main Nougat update. This should fix it so the Build number shows up correctly and some other functionality issues. Once this is done next to Build Number it should say: CAN-L01C02B307, if it does then everything is working fine.
Hey I have downloaded CAN-l01 version, installed via fastboot (recovery.img, boot.img and system.img) but the updater is still missing from settings and the version number is NRD90M test-keys i'm not able to install the eu pack (update stops at 5%), how can I solve the missing updater?

I never installed mine by fastboot using adb, I extrated the big update then put it in a dload folder and installed using the three button method. I dunno why the hw eu pack is not installing as I had this issue and that installed fine for me.

I have no idea then. The update worked fine for me using the three button method and all I had to do after was install the hw eu update that matched and it is all working fine. Yes you can install archived updates through custom recovery but I have not tried it with Huawei updates so I dunno what the outcome will be.
Here is a couple of screenshots which show the update working for me.
Flashed the CAN-L11C432B340 full update with the 3-button-method coming from Emui 4.1 (Android 6).
The update was successful up to 100%, but then I got a flash failed error. Phone booted succesful to Emui 5.0 with the NRD90M test-keys bug so in addition i flashed update_data_full_CAN-L11_hw_eu.zip and all seems to be fine except the hotspot functionality.
Does the hotspot feature work for you on B340? I cant enable it and after a while i get a settings force close....

Your pasted link is where my twrp image came from.
Though before i flashed the twrp image. via fastboot, i had first "upgraded" the z play into the latest of the CN unofficial firmware. this is one of those firmware that is said to brick the z play if you decide to downgrade.

So my guess is, we can still flash .49 version rom even we're on higher version. (just simply not to flash gpt.bin, this cause error when your version is newer than .49)
And after installed .49 version, we will receive OTA update then we update it?
Not sure if this is the correct way to get back to stock rom and relock the bootloader...

To relock the bootloader you'll need a firmware more recent than the previous one you installed. If you had the .49-1 installed, you'll may need to wait for one more recent firmware popout as this .49 will give errors while installing (the "oem lock begin" command only locks the bootloader if you install every single file from the firmware, which will fail because an lower version of the firmware was installed).
In short: you can get back to stock but can't relock bootloader unless you didn't installed the OTA .49-1 or have an more recent firmware available

Yes, you can update without worries. Just remember to maintain your system untouched before any update. If you root or install custom recovery, the update will fail and may get into a boot loop

You can upgrade through OTA with unlocked bootloader, you only can't if you modify your system. But if you are running .63-1 I'm not certain about reinstalling the .49 ROM as they may be different, like different modem or other resources like NFC resulting in bricking. Test at your own risk. I'd like to test .63 ROM, but I can't find any free places to download it.
(Or if you want you can also try the ZUI ROM, it's a stock rom from a chinese moto g5s with ZUI interface)

You must be running NPPS25.137-93-2-5 to be able to update through OTA. However, you can still update to Oreo using fastboot method (link here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/official-oreo-8-1-0-opp28-85-16-t3849244), but most probably, you will loose all of the data stored in the phone.

However, you can still update to Oreo using fastboot method (link here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/official-oreo-8-1-0-opp28-85-16-t3849244), but most probably, you will loose all of the data stored in the phone.

Is it safe to downgrade?
Some people say you may hard brick
Using adb don't need to downgrade?

It's safe as long as you don't try to flash gpt and bootloader. Downgrading one (or both) of these partition results in hardbrick.

If you update to official Oreo but then decide, you want to install CustomROM, you have to downgrade to Nougat first. Otherwise, your fingerprint won't simply work with any CustomROM. I have already mentioned it in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/help/finger-print-sensor-issue-oreo-roms-t3853491.
Btw, bootloader version is not related to fingerprint working or not with CustomROM. There's another partition that makes difference in it.

In my opininon yes, but your opininon might be different. Downgrading from official Oreo to official Nougat isn't difficult at all. You just have to remember, you can't flash gpt and bootloader. It's also recommended to avoid erase modem commands to prevent loss of IMEI.

None of them. Treble project needs Treble TWRP and Treble LineageOS installed firstly for correct functionality of other Treble CustomROMs. More info in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/treble-project-treble-cedric-t3820451.

I was on 137-93-14 too. I flashed the fastboot firmware 137-93-2-5 to go back full stock and official. No need to re lock bootloader..then I downloaded the latest OTA update 28.85-16 and installed it via ADB sideload.
My phone is xt1670 on channel retca..though I can't say for sure what difference it makes if your on amzin. Wish I could help more.
No problem bro Yesterday I flashed the fastboot files and successfully updated to oreo which I found on this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/official-oreo-8-1-0-opp28-85-16-t3849244
Btw you have taken the long step bro. No need to get back to 137-93-2-5.
Cheers!

i updated through twrp
@achintyakv
Yeah your right that was definitely the long way hehe. It's cause I wasn't sure that th oreo fastboot method would have worked for me. I had tried the TWRP version and it kept boot looping so I thought the other way would be safer

Ota update opp28-85-13-2

Please someone help me
I'm looking for the official OPP28-85-13-2 OTA, I need the zip to update to that version officially
I'm looking for it because it solves the low sound problems and the October security patch:crying:
Sorry that I answer so late, when I was searching for ways to update to Oreo I found this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/cedric-ota-archive-t3795275
It's a collection of ota files, it also describes the order how to flash them.
The otas and the list for that are here
https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1BkpfHvgQ477NViLYvzgv88Fgq3SSt5Py?usp=sharing
Edit: I'm currently on OPP28.85-16 but I don't know if you will find the otas for this, but I flashed firmware directly, guess when you don't want to reinstall your phone this is not an option?

I would lose the following updates via OTA, I would have to update manually via fastboot every time it comes out a new update

Why should that? When you flash stock oreo firmware and it comes an update you can just install it like a normal ota in settings

I do not know what it means, I think it has to do with the companies that distribute the firmware in the different update channels or region
dual sim or single sim I suppose
