Is this finally the SIGNED stock firmware? I've been dying to have it since I know the unsigned won't allow you to relock the bootloader.

You'll never relock your bootloader , it's over and I can't understand why people think it makes a difference, moto has given you the unlocking key by asking for that key you are unlocked and unlock forever.
Read the unlocking agreement page from moto. You signed off on it.
You'll never ever see signed firmware from moto anyways , they keep them in house, all you'll ever see is unsigned firmware packages.

I want LOS14.1 on my phone, but it's better to keep on stock 7.1.1? Normally you are right, because it's stupid to change the rom just because the number (7.1.1 to 7.1.2).

P2 (UK) on 3 - Going from 3 to stock rom

Hello all,
I'm a bit confused about the process of taking my current '3' ROM and changing it to the official Lenovo Rom.
I have downloaded the lenovo drivers (installed and ok) phone is in debug mode.
I have downloaded the stock rom from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/7-0-lenovo-p2a42-stock-nougat-update-t3581517 and have adb / fastboot.
I know I have to use the volume rocker and powerbutton to get into the boot mode but I don't know the commands for adb or fastboot. I have changed the name of the rom to 'update'
Can someone please advise me on the commands I am meant to enter to get this onto my phone please?
Thanks in advance,
Cue

Copy all the code below, paste it to a new text file on your PC and save it as All Files instead of .txt and name it a fastboot.bat. Place the fastboot.bat in the adb/fastboot directory, also place the unpacked rom in the same path. Run it as admin. Profit.
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt_both0.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash system systemchunk0.img

Hi, op here.
Firstly, thank you for responding! Your instructions seem very clear. When i had a look at the contents of the ROM (in zip) i couldn't see any of the systemchunk files you mention, are they hidden deep somewhere?
Regards,
Cue.

If your phone is stock the Rom can be updated without fastboot or a PC.
All the instructions are in that thread.

Huh. Surely just boot into recovery and install the update.zip? No need to have it connected to pc.

Hello all,
Yep. I un-encrypted the sd card copied the zip onto it and booted up that way. Very easy. Now running stock directly from Lenovo which I am very happy about! It also pushed the new 78mb update as well.
Thank you for all your input.

same way i did it too theirs no need to do it through fastboot method just like the other people i did it through the built in recovery by renaming the Nougat rom to update.zip works fine and you will get another update ota straight after t obring it right up to date.

Sounds like you guys have this sorted :highfive:
Just for completeness, can somebody upload the original 3 rom? It just helps out the person who thinks they have a hardware issue and may need to return the phone to 3.
If you try and return your phone and it doesn't have the original 3 rom, your chances of a good outcome are obviously less as you have tampered with the phone etc.

The warranty is with Lenovo Not three.
Doubt there'd be an issue as the bootloader will still be locked and it's an official Lenovo Firmware.
Since flashing nougat and a factory wipe my VOLTE is now working.

I did the same flashed nougat and volte is working but only shows up some times not as much as I'd like is their any way to get volte to work more often. In my bedroom where the signal is weak I don't get the volte symbol at all.

How you enabled VoLte on nougat? You are on stock rom or branded?

I'm on stock unbranded.
VOLTE settings now show up in phone menu and it just works. I had to factory reset though as initially it didn't work after flashing nougat.

Assuming you have fastboot installed on your pc
Download firmware and unzip to where you have fastboot
Open command prompt at fastboot location with firmware

Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set Only required if you wish to relock bootloader - if not skip it
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin Do not use unless you want to repartition your device - incorrect file will damage your phone
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img Do not use unless you want to replace the bootloader - flashing wrong file will hard brick

Serious problem in the Moto G5 Cedric xt 1672! (Help me please!!)

friends, how are you?
It's the following .. I have a serious problem with my Moto G5.
When he went to do the update for Oreo he gave a problem ... Of which I can not leave.
It starts in fastboot mode or attempts to initialize Android but stops on screen (M) as picture.
The bootloader is locked, I tried to unlock by cmd and put the key sent by the motorola, signaled as if it worked and continues as (oem_locked).
I do not have root, my bootloader is locked, and I can not access recovery despite entering fastboot mode.
I tried installing several roms by adb, but I could not succeed with any (Always giving FAILED REMOTE).
Yesterday until it managed to enter the initial configuration of the android (where it places the wifi) but then restarted and never again.
I've tried everything a little bit, and I could not succeed with anything.
Help me, please, I do not know what else to do!
Thank you
:confuso:

You have a few options
The first is just wipe the phone and see if it boots
You can do this by putting the phone in bootloader mode (as per your screenshot) by holding Vol down & power button
Then in cmd/terminal window where you have fastboot on your pc type
fastboot erase userdata
Note this will delete everything on internal storage!
Then select the boot normally from bootloader menu
Another option is to flash the entire firmware via fastboot
You will need firmware which is the same or newer than what you currently have
You don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash stock firmware via fastboot
Note fastboot is different from adb - adb won't work in fastboot mode!

.....
My friend, I made the process using the rom of https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/official-oreo-8-1-0-opp28-85-16-t3849244 except that excluding the (fastboot flash partition gpt.bin and
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img).
Similarly, the screen continues with the motorola logo, does not advance to android, recovery when I select and tighten the power, stay on the motorola screen and back to the fastboot.
The result of the process is this in the image

I'm from Brazil and from what I've been observing the ROM would be with the same bases as this one from the link.
I refined the process using the command lines you posted and "FAILED REMOTE" is repeated in some lines.
Would not it be some case of partitioning the corrupted system?

Gpt failed because the firmware you are trying to flash is older than what is currently on your phone
Gpt is needed to repartition your phone and must be flashed along with the bootloader
You will need to download firmware which is equal to or newer than what is already on your phone

I saw there was an October update in the ROM. I will try here in the community this ROM and try to blink and bring the result here ..

friend .. I followed the rom .. I did the whole process (without FAILED) but when it starts up it gets frozen in the Motorola logo.
Any tips on what it might be?

As long as everything flashed correctly and the entire firmware had no errors I'd go into stock recovery and perform a factory reset
Hold Vol down & power button
At bootloader menu use volume keys to navigate to recovery and press power button to select
At the Android screen with no command push and hold power button then with power button held then press Vol up
You are now in recovery mode
Use Vol keys with goto wipe data/factory reset & power button to select
If the rom doesn't boot after that chances are you didn't flash the firmware correctly or there was an error in flashing it due to the wrong firmware used

I can not get into recovery. Would not it be a problem with the motherboard?

Could well be
As long as gpt flashed successfully without giving a downgrade warning which will call it to fail then the recovery part of the firmware should flash and you should have access to recovery mode via entering recovery from bootloader then holding power button and volume up at the picture of the android screen
It could be a motherboard issue but since you have no problem getting into bootloader it's more likely a firmware issue/user error

I guess i bricked my only phone....:-/

Okay, so im new to this stuff and still i managed to root the phone and flash RR 7.1.2. But i tried to unroot it and this happend:
I only have access to the bootloader and thats it. No recovery, no ROM nothing....when i start ti, it says that my phoe is unlocked and its dangerous and that the phone will boot in 5 secs but it never does....plz help me..and i wanna know where can i learn about all this stuff...its freaking me out since this the only phone i have.....plz help me..

You have two options
1 - flash twrp recovery and then use it to flash a custom rom
Assuming you have named the recovery image recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1MLlljM7BzMj9Da57LeyBHyg81cHdW1cB
Then wipe system data cache/format data & follow procedure to flash a custom rom
2 - flash stock rom firmware which can be found (plenty of guides out there for how to just search)
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/cedric/official/
If you have unlocked the bootloader it will always says your device is not secure unless you flash a modified boot image

Dude, I'm a total idiot at this stuff...
I was trying to flash the stock ROM by some help from a youtube channel called Andoid Doctor. I used the codes he gave me and the stock firmware he provided me for cedric. But all my computer showed was some slot error.
I'd really appreciate it if you helped me out.

Wasn't trying to go back to stock myself (though I did have to in the end) but this was the only rom I found that worked full stop. Thanks so much for this.
