Bought this mobile last March (Amazon.de). Ever since I have the phone I have not had any updates, no security patch and no firmware. My security patch is
from Oct 5, 2017 !! So its almost a year old which clearly is a serious safety issue. What is wrong here ?? Or am I missing something ???
Thanks

This is caused by the System Updater application being updated by the Google Play store. You need to look for this application in settings, and from the play store uninstall. This removes all the non-stock updates to this application.
After you've done this, Firmware Finder should work properly without any checksum errors etc.

But.....the only change listed is that it includes the May, 2017 security update. About a 50MB download.

I'm on the NPN25.137.35 with the latest security patch level showing from January. Phone is telling me it is up to date Not sure it maters but I'm in Salt lake City, UT.
I got this update last week. I have the OTA zip if needed.

It's very typical for carriers and manufacturers (including Google for Nexus/Pixel) to do staggered rollouts of updates. It reduces server load, but more importantly, if there is a bug the people who get it early (there are typically not that many who get it early) would report the bug. Then the second batch of people getting it is bigger, then the third even bigger. Rollouts can last 3-4 weeks. I wouldn't panic. We are their beta testers.
Location probably doesn't matter. I'm based in OC, but currently in the Palm Springs area.

Hi,
Identical to the RETEU update from the last week! Still waiting for a "real" update.
Still nowt for retgb
I tried to adb sideload the zip above but I get an error. Any ideas? I dropped the name "BLUR version" and renamed the zip "update.zip"...got the error. I redownloaded and renamed to NPNS25.137-35-5...same error
Edit: here is the error message "package expects build thumbprint of 7.0/NPNS25.137-35-5/5 user release-keys or 7.0/NPN25.137-35/37 user release keys; this device has 7.0/NPN25.137-33/35 user/release -keys"
Is there another firmware that I need to download and apply first?
Edit 2: does motorola require fastboot all the files (unzipped) instead of adb? In my other phones I just put the update.zip file on the root directory and applied with stock recovery. That did not work either. Same error message.

You should probably just wait until the OTA pops up on your device.
Nothing yet for me. Pennsylvania, RETUS. Will notify once I have it available.

I'm in NYC and just got it. I installed it but it was weird, my security updates updated to May 2017, but my build number is still NPNS25.137-33-5. I checked again for updates but it said I'm current. Also, my kernel is 3.18.31 dated 5/11/2017. Did I update?

Happy days

I think my security updated to May but I don't think my firmware upgraded. It was on 50MB file.
Adb sideload
Has anyone tried to do a ADB sideload with the OTA yet?

This update should contain the bugfixes up through the May security bulletins if I understand it correctly.
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/
Started prompting me for this update last weekend on amz branch.
Im in NYC as well and just got the update. It showed as NPN25.137-35 but it said it was a 20MB download. I have the amazon prime version of the phone and once i finished the update, it still shows NPN25.137.33 and the security patch level still shows Jan1, 2017.
Now when i check for updates, software is up to date. Wierd. Anyone else experience this?
I've checked for a US g5+ support page fairly regularly since getting the phone. It hasn't even been listed on the support page until the last week or so. But, while it's finally listed.......there's only a generic Lenovo placeholder on it. Several months after the phone's release.
https://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/Cell-Phones/Android-Series/Moto-G-Plus-5th-Gen
I've got a Lenovo laptop......their customer service and software upgrades suck. I once sent in my rather expensive Yoga laptop for warranty trackpad repair......and they had it for two months and despite repeated checking their website and calling, I could never get an estimated repair date. Finally, they gave me a date......4 more months. I raised holy hell and they sent me a new, more recent Yoga release. The support page for the laptop seems to update with Lenovo bloatware "upgrades" fairly regularly.....but their support for more important basic drivers is pretty lacking (wifi, bluetooth and graphics drivers from 2015 and 2016, anybody? Yeah, didn't think so.). And, yeah, first thing I do when getting any new PC is a clean install with no bloatware, but Lenovo also makes it tough to keep drivers updated through forced windows updates by using hardware IDs which make it hard for you to install generic component drivers, unimportant drivers like Intel graphics drivers. So you install the latest, and a forced windows update uninstalls the Intel release and installs a mid-2016 driver for you. Thanks! So there are obscure ways to defeat that.
Oh, and then there's the touchpad Synaptics drivers (Lenovo specific) where two finger tap (right click menu) has NEVER been fixed. Takes a registry modification to fix it.
Anyway...enough venting about Lenovo/Moto poor support. I knew it when I purchased the phone, and I'd still buy it again.
My 6X just received an OTA. The security patch level went from March 1st to Oct 5th. The EMUI version was updasted to 5.0.1. So far so good, I haven't used it much.

Factory reset..
Wow. Two system updates in the last 10 days. Just updated BLN-L24C567 to B366 from B365. Security patch is Nov. 6.
I guess this makes Huawei/Honor phones a lot better than Lenovo Moto phones. Once I recommended my father to buy a (Lenovo) Moto X Pure. The phone received updates something twice a year (!), and its Nougat update came 13 months (!) after the official Nougat release, and maybe 10 months after when Lenovo promised this update would be available. Huawei has a better track record than Lenovo IMHO.
13 months is a lot, and yes, Huawei/Honor has been better in the recent years when it comes to updates
Indeed. They give update if want to else simply discard. btw see what Apple was doing with regular updates.. they admitted and was a let down for many (but accepting it needs some real guts for a brand like Apple)
Who knows other OEMs who gives regular updates are doing similar things
edit: scratch that
The security patch is updated to Jan. 1, 2018. "Integrates Google security patches for improved system security"
I still do not get it

Try the system update from the HiSuite. I didn't get it from the phone system update but the update became available in the HiSuite software (PC).

I'm gonna take a big guess and say I'll lose root if I do this.

These are the files needed for the update (B366 version):
https://mega.nz/#F!7clljDYQ!DjUTltO2GOHfBlHDndmCvQ
After the update, just flash TWRP and root again. None of your settings or apps/data will be affected (unless you've something that changes system files such as xposed framework - this can be resolved by reinstalling exposed zip)

Nope, I never had to. If the update re-locks the bootloader, your data partition will be wiped. As said above, the update does not affect your data (as also noted by Huawei's update info which says "This update will not erase your personal data, but we recommend that you back up any important data before updating.").
Got it! But I saw B368 on Firmware Finder.
Sent from my HUAWEI BLN-L24 using XDA Labs
I got B367 on Saturday via notification. I'm the only one of three in the family thus far to get it, so it's definitely a slow roll out. I was super excited when I realized it also magically fixed my lagging camera-startup issue. :good:
That is, until today, when I realized I still had a massively lagging camera. Sigh...
Please tell me we'll soon get Oreo AND a camera fix.
Am I the only one with this? It is saying "Your system is up to date" and "Security patch level: 5 October 2018".
Last successful check updates when I tap Check for update, I have been able to install two updates before without issues..
Any ideas?
same here. but i dont know about the pie update yet.

That works, using the vpn method I was first offered the Nov. 1 update and after installing that the pie update.
Guess they have put the november update on hold for the netherlands due to the issues with the language setting.
Is this normal? It's 20 feb already. The attached screenshot shows that it's still on the june 1 security update.
Samsung support has only responded once and stated that the distribution process has started at 16 jan 2019. All my friends and acquaintances have received the update but not me and I'm manually checking for updates daily. (I have also tried installing smartswitch on my pc, and it still displays that my phone is updated)
Is it possible that I have encountered a bug?

You can also use the smart switch desktop app to do it. I used it to downgrade my s9 from pie beta to official oreo.
