what is the difference b/w RETASIA, RETIN and RETAIL Firmwares for Moto Z Play India?

Q: what is the difference between RETASIA, RETIN and RETAIL versions of Firmwares for Moto Z Play. Which one is particularly for Indian Moto Z Play?
[Request]: Please somebody upload official stock Nougat 7.0 Firmware of Moto Z Play for Indian version (RETASIA/RETIN)? There is a 7.0 RETAIL firmware version for Moto Z Play https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/addison/official/RETAIL/XT1635-02_ADDISON_7.0_NPNS25.137-24-1-4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip but I doubt that it is not official for India.

Baseband is the important part of the Firmware. As you say that they have different basebands. So which baseband version (RETASIA or RETAIL) is for Indian Moto Z Play?
Nobody is telling the exact difference between RETASIA, RETIN and RETAIL versions of Firmwares for Moto Z Play.

But there is no RETIN firmware for Moto Z Play. There are only two types of version for Indian Moto Z Play i.e., RETASIA and RETAIL. As you said you have checked the RETASIA version but what about the RETAIL version firmware for Indian Moto Z Play?
And why are you talking about RETIN? Do you type RETIN mistakenly instead RETAIL? And If not then where you find it? I can not find it anywhere?

Why my Moto Z Play become bit laggy after unlocking my bootloader? I am on stock Indian Nougat 7.0 ROM (latest updated March security patch) and have installed twrp recovery and Magisk Systemless root v12 without messing any system file/partition. Mobile seems little laggy/jerky sometimes in settings and apps. This problem was not before the unlocking bootloader and installing twrp recovery and Magisk systemless Root. I have also factory reset the mobile and also wipe the Dalvik cache, cache and Data through twrp recovery. But I didn't get any improvement then I reflash stock nougat rom. But the problem of laggyness/jerkyness still existed. What should I do? Any fix or any suggestion?
And please also tell me does most of the android phones get laggy after unlocking the bootloader or after installing the Root?

Q1. Yes I have installed the stock Nougat Rom (RETAIL version) with stock recovery but I still get laggy experince some times especially with jerky/laggy status bar and toggles.
Q2. And also please tell me that during installing stock nougat ROM, should I completely install all the files in zip like bootloader and modem files etc or just install system files, recovery,boot.img, without touching any modem files & bootloader?
Q3. Currently I am on stock nougat 7.0 Indian Rom, so please tell me 100% accurate safe method (adb commands) to install RETAIL nougat stock Rom.
(Please read all questions and give all answers step-by-step. And please give complete answers. Please, No short answers. I Will be very thankful to you for your help.)
Hey, Mate, I got lags on stock nougat even without root and twrp.
I really doubt that systemless root is to blame here, and definitely not TWRP, since there is no possible way it can affect system performance.

XT1710-06 ? What model is this? Can't find anything on it.

looking to upgrade from my current Z play....I'm on Verizon and like the idea of being able to get an unlocked version. I noticed this XT1710-06 but can't find what is different about it vs the XT1710-01. Does anyone know ?
Hello, I'm from Peru and I have the dual SIM version xt1710-06 Retla ... I do not know what happened, the phone stayed in the November patch and the OTAS that are in XDA with the December patch are not compatible. I read in Brazilian forums that for this phone the patches are different because it is dual SIM and that its official provider is Motorola and not a mobile operator. in the end all the variants work the same but it is for a specific region .. in Brazil they use the variant -07 in Europe it is -09 Asia I think it is -10 and china -11

It's XT1710-xx not XT1701-xx
You want XT1710-01.
That is the US Unlocked version, with unlockable bootloader.
I'm on Verizon, also.
The -06 is a dual SIM version with North American GSM LTE frequencies. It won't work with Verizon.
My Z2 Play from AT&T Mexico is single SIM and is a XT1710-06
My XT1710-06 is dual sim. Has TWRP 3.2.1-0 installed, yet I cannot get any of the lineage os 15.1 downloads to install. Always get a 255 error and even tried the, delete first to lines from that note pad file trick. No go. Any got an lineage 15 or 15.1 that is not in that g drive everyone is linking?

Is your TWRP a modified version, or is it all stock TWRP?
Sent from my Moto G4 Plus using XDA Labs
Thanks for the reply guys :laugh:. I managed to install Lineage OS 15.1 by reflashing a different Twrp. Instead of using twrp-3.2.1-0.img again, another thread mentioned twrp-3.2.1-0-albus.img for installing LOS 15.1. Everything you guys posted was spot on. Keep up the awesome work and thanks again for the umpteenth time.

I just need some clarification as I don't fully understand what are trying to say
retin just means I imagine you are a retail India software channel
If you own a moto g5 plus Potter you have posted in the wrong forum

retin just means I imagine you are a retail India software channel - are you saying that you own a moto g5 cedric & since updating to oreo with the soak test ota your device now displays as a moto g5 plus potter?
If that is the case then Motorola have just mucked up the build.prop - these are just text lines and can be changed to display anything you like in about phone

All moto devices will have a retin software channel (if sold in India)
Ret means it's a retail device (instead of an Amazon device)
in - means it's an Indian varient
So both moto g5 and g5 plus will have a retin software channel

You can change the channel just by flashing a stock rom firmware from a different country
Obviously when you bought the phone from Amazon it came with Amazon firmware so it would display amazin
When your motherboard was replaced they flashed retail firmware on it so that's why it now shows retin
You can flash what ever firmware you like (assuming that there's no phone frequencies that are different or not compatible between countries)
As long as your phone is unmodified (no custom rom/recovery root etc) you will be able to ota update

No - the ota looks for the build number of the current version installed - if the ota is for the Amazon varient you will need that firmware installed
You won't damage your device if you try & flash an ota in stock recovery that is for the wrong firmware - it simply won't flash and gives an error about the wrong firmware version detected
Unless the ota updates both Amazon & retail varients it won't work

Only if you're flashing gpt or bootloader parts - unless you need to change these there's no need to flash them
There is always a risk in anything you do - if you don't know what you're doing use Google YouTube or just stay on stock unmodified

G7 ThinQ TMobile......does GCAM and full camera2api work? no root right?

Anyone know of the ThinQ G7 T-MOBILE variant can use GCAM camera apps work ? As I understand no root is available for this variant. But wanted to make sure I can use GCAM with this variant. Planning on acquiring as a backup. Is RAW or full camera2api supported or just partial?
Thanks in advance.
