April Security Patch - Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion

Just received April security patch on XT1685 (RETEU - Poland). NPNS25.137-93-10 - only 41 MB, so we have to still wait for Oreo.

First of all, the title of that topic is imprecise (it does not say about the APRIL update but about the "SWEET" update - what is it?!)
Secondly, there are only 2 posts talking about a possible coming, without any particulars that someone has already received.
That is why this topic is better.

nothing yet in retla, probably in 10 days

It's just an expression...
a sweet update = a nice update = an interesting update
Anyway, poorly written thread.
Here's to hope Oreo is next.

Received today (reteu, Italy)

I've already received here ! Retbr, Brazil

Confirmed, RETBR, on Tim

Received April security patch for Moto g5s plus.

Please don´t cross post. And we all know that april security patch update doesn´t contain 8.0.

This Moto G5 plus will be my first and last phone from Motorola. I'm never going to buy Motorola phones again. Phone is stuck on 7.0 Nougat forever ??

No other company except Nokia is providing Oreo update to its midrange smartphones.
Nokia also sells overpriced smartphones.
(i.e. Nokia 6) then they provide quick updates.
Motorola will provide oreo to G Series.
and G Series is more value for money.

True. Our device gets regularly security patches, will get Oreo soon, offers great hardware with an almost vanilla android OS for round about 200€.
It's my second Motorola and it won't be my last.
The only device coming to my mind that offers good value for that price is from Huawei (Honor) and I won't swap to a chinese device with worse update intervals.
This is a midrange phone, if someone wants Oreo at once he should buy a Pixel or a OP5. I'm not willing to spend that amount of money.

I am from India too... but no update for me till now....

May be they are providing phase by phase. It's already 2 days. You should be receiving by now.

Anyone facing charging issues after the update? And faster battery drain? Anyway to roll back?

I updated, new camera app seems to produce much better photos? Is it placebo on my end?

My recommendation....once officially updated into Oreo...give it away to any family or friend member and go with HTC or Google not Motorola anymore....unless you dont care at all about updates....bless you guys!

Any way to make this update flashable through TWRP? I'm using a deoxeded rom with Nov 2017 update and it doesn't find new updates.

Twrp flashable builds, especially when deodexed won't find any OTA because they aren't official firmware anymore. That's good because any OTA would hardbrick your device.
The only thing you can do is ask the dev of your ROM to update the source to the latest available full firmware which is as far as I know 93-4 or (92-4 for India) containing january security patch. These are full firmwares, not just as an OTA patch.

I'm a bit surprised that this is only August patch level, not October. I'm also mildly concerned that there still is no known Nougat soak test for the Z Play.

I got my patch yesterday and was also surprised in was only August - but we've been promised the Nougat update for this quarter, so I'm fully expecting it within the next four weeks.
Lenovo released Nougat for the Moto Z around Thanksgiving, I guess we'll have our Nougat around Christmas ^^

The fact there realising newer phones every 5 seconds!!!. I am finding the G5 to be one, if not one of the worse unstable phones I have ever had!.
I had the G4 before and then changed to the G5 when it came out 3/4 months ago (think it was when it was first released in UK?). The Google screen (when you swipe left) always says that "Launcher 3 Has Stopped working" and also call quality is bad with calling people.. (from what they have said lol).
I don't think it's a faulity device, as I have done full system reset and not really into rooting etc.. I just can't believe how buggy the phone is and as mentioned. Even when I bought it brand new/factory sealed. There was no updates. It's as though they don't care as there more bothered about the other handsets in the Moto series!.

Use evie launcher (playstore) - its the best one Iv used & has loads of extra features such as badge notifications (enable in its settings)
I don't know why you are facing so many problems - nothing wrong with my Moto G5

Thankyou. I thought about using another launcher lol. I don't know why either. Had the problem (as per pic) since I bought it and before I even installed any apps. Will see how it goes.

Hello All.
I'm on reteu software channel and yesterday I have recieved an OTA update that contains some improvement and android security patch 1 march. All went well except that it totally failed to install, first it tried to boot back, but froze when starting android window popped up, then I had to reboot it manually and then it ended up on a recovery screen showing error.
After the third reboot it managed to restart properly but gapps had been reset to default.
This is an xt1676 3gb ram model, with locked bootloader.
New build version Npp25.13-72
It is possible that this was an isolated case, but wanted to warn you guys

Another Sweet Security Patch (No Oreo In Next Update)

Yup!! Got the update atleast there is a security update.
Got April security patch for Moto g5s plus in India. But no Oreo updates.
My recommendation....once officially updated into Oreo...give it away to any family or friend member and go with HTC or Google not Motorola anymore....unless you dont care at all about updates....bless you guys!

Same. Never buying a Motorola phone again. Poor camera+slow updates have killed it to me.
Moto is dead. After falcon, the downfall began, Lenovo was the finishing touch. I agree, save a little more and get a front line device.

Now that RETIN has got the April update, I'm curious if the next update's release notes will mention if we'll get Oreo update next or not

Out of curiosity, why would someone post just because there is an app update?
Updated and new feature I noticed is integrated Google Lens (yup, it's still stock 7.0).
Poland, RETEU
I had this for 25 days already
Country / Server dependent perhaps?
I don't have it on my Moto Z Force, Oreo 8.0 July SP.
Where as my woman's Moto Z Play, Oreo 8.0 June SP;
got it 3 days ago.
Both are HudsonCM.
Play store is showing an August 28th release; on her phone.
Who knows?
Like everything else it varies apparently.
I'm assuming there are multiple versions of Moto Camera.
For different devices; that is.
Guess I'll wait; as I don't see it on APKMirror right off.

USA, HudsonCM as mentioned.
I very much like the update, it's almost as if moto is listening to their users. Both swipe and pinch to zoom now work, and the settings menu is more easily accessible. Also it finally gets google lens integration, which works like a charm.
Grabbed the apk if someone needs it (from potter obviously)

I updated to A1 and things seem to be working fine. But I would want to update to A5 since the current mobile network quality is terrible compared to my Oneplus 5T, same SIMs (Optus and Telstra). Interesting that we didn't have Aus specific update before. Do you think that the process of updating A1 to A5 would be the same as from 037 to A1? I am rooted and don't want to lose data.
Ah, this is interesting, I did a factory reset and updated using the A1 build yesterday, not knowing that there was going to be an A5 Australian version!
Interestingly, since updating to the A1 version, I've definitely experienced my Telstra 5G signal being noticeably worse than before updating
Looking forward to A5 now!

Great, new to ADB and all things pixel coming from Note. So I have root (only after bricking and fixing lol) but wondering if you can point in the direction where I might get some detailed instructions to do what you did, I think I get it but not 100% sure and with my track record it would end in tears. TIA.
