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
If you own a moto g5 plus Potter you have posted in the wrong forum

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

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. So please upload stock Nougat 7.0 for Indian version (RETIN/RETASIA) Moto Z Play.

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.

OTAs work on all stock rom firmware
Just because you are not receiving an ota doesn't mean its not working - It means it's not available in your country or for your variant
Just because an ota is available in one country doesn't mean its available in another country or for every variant of a device

Thanks for the detailed explanation. However, as I explained in the first post, I have the stock rom retus, and retus has already released April 2018 security patch. My phone doesn't show it, and is stuck on Nov 2017 patch. How do I identify, if my phone is not eligible, or if there is some other issue.
I had flashed the stock firmware from - https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto G5/Stock/XT1677/
Is there any other stock rom that works ?

Are you located in the country to which the firmware you are using is from? If not you may not get the update - you could try using a vpn to that country
Also the device variant you are using may not have that update available
Eg the XT1675 may have the update available and the XT1677 doesn't

Well after I flashed the stock ROM, my software channel changed to retus (earlier was retin). I tried US VPNs as well, but still no updates. retin has already released Mar 2018 security patch, which my phone is not receiving - https://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/in/ei/Solution/MS127237
Hence, is there a way to switch the channel to retin from retus, or is there a stock rom for retin which I can use. Thank you.

It doesn't matter what channel you are on - that's only part of the process
There are also different varients of the device - for example the UK is XT1675
Just because you flashed the retus firmware doesn't mean you will get updates if there is no update for your variant
You would have to flash a different varients firmware manually (this may cause issues with band frequencies)
Thanks everyone. I manually applied all OTA patches as described in post - https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/cedric-ota-archive-t3795275

I'm a bit confused. Why does Motorola push OPP28.85-13 as an official update when newer version (OPP28.85-16) already exists? I've even heard about OPQ28.85-13 build somewhere on xda - that build should be the latest one right now.
Opp28.85-13 Oreo 8.1 arrived in Portugal. Device from amazon market.
Got OPP28.85-13 on my phone (Slovakia - reteu soft. channel, unlocked BL) today. However, I am scared of getting hardbrick using OTA, because my bootloader has been already updated to Oreo version (B8.31) by flashing another official Oreo releases (you can find them here, on xda).
In my case, is it safe to do the OTA update or should I rather wait for full fastboot image of OPP28.85-13?
EDIT: Full fastboot firmware (OPP28.85-13) download link: https://rsdsecure-cloud.motorola.co...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip (approx. 1.4GB). File is geo-locked, German VPN is neccessary. I might recommend this free VPN add-on for Chrome https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hotspot-shield-vpn-free-p/nlbejmccbhkncgokjcmghpfloaajcffj.
I just found the ota update for NPPS25.137-93-14 build number https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Ev...XAIiIQkY6EXDVg
just place the zip into the root directory, then go to moto update and enable storage permission finally go to check updates and just install
thats all
I've the moto G5 XT1677 dual sim

I haven't got any update after the may security patch. Talked to their customer service but they couldn't do anyhing.
So, is there any way to update my phone to the latest version without rooting?

I just tried to update it through that software, it said "No upgrade task".
One more thing, can the retail build NPPS25.137-93-2-5 be flashed on top of amzin build no. NPPS25.137-93-12? and after that the oreo zip? as these files are available for retail channel but not for amzin.
