Bought my Z Play used and have been really enjoying it! Phone came with TWRP + Root. After the November update came out, I flashed everything except baseband and modem, since I didn't want to lose my imei and couldn't find factory images for my device. I'd really like to flash back to 100% stock so I can relock my bootloader, use Android pay, and accept the upcoming nougat update once it arrives.
Looked through all of the factory images I could find on XDA and did a lot of googling, no luck.
Same situation as you are. I can't find that specific ROM.
Lenovo have not released signed images that you can flash and lock your bootloader with. Your device will always have the software flag : modified in the bootloader. Your best option for Android pay is for Alberto97 to include the SafetyNet kernel flag in LOS 14.1

Really, I care more about being able to take the upcoming nougat OTA, but this is good info, thank you!

If I'm not mistaken, you should still be able to take upcoming OTA's even with an unlocked bootloader.
As long as you have stock recovery + un-root, you should be good in theory.

True, but my baseband currently doesn't match anything else. To get to the November update, I flashed everything except modem from the latest USA factory ROM. Guess I can just do the same thing once someone posts images for nougat.

Hey guys, to prevent the loss of your precious data (apks, settings and etc), and "enable" ota on your devices, go to Twrp, wipe System, cache and dalvik cache.
After this, flash the firmware of your device via fastboot with the commands above:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.10
fastboot flash oem oem.img
After that, your phone should be able to install ota's.
Cheers!

Only if there is a factory image available for your device. Otherwise the OTA is going to brick your phone (OTA updates bootloader and modem, wrong modem will break radios, not sure if bootloader is region specific? If so, taking out of region OTA would hard brick you.)

Nice addon!
Thx!
Update to this: spoke with a Level 2 Motorola Representative over the weekend. He did not seem to know anything about fastboot or TWRP or bootloader unlock vs sim unlock. I was pretty disappointed, Moto support has been excellent in past experience. He looked up the device by IMEI and told me it was unlocked US version, but had no idea what I was asking after almost an hour of explanation. The Level 1 tech I spoke to spoke pretty broken english. It's possible the baseband for RETUS is ROW_CUST, but I'm not brave enough to try flashing modem and boot.img.
If you're in the same boat, I'd recommend waiting until someone with a RETUS can confirm their baseband.

I would avoid at all cost flashing any modem, bootloader or baseband related bin file. You can freely flash the sparse chunks and boot.img to your heart's content.

Hello. So far, I have found some flashing tools that work on Windows. Is there a way to flash firmware on Linux? Thanks in advance...

fastboot for zui and obviously twrp for anything else.
Fastboot works fine on linux, you just need to use it with root. There are quite a lot of images to flash though. I've a 1- click guide on zukfans, there is a batch for windows, but it will save you some typing and give you a point to start off.
I'm not sure if it works with locked bootloader, if locked and you want it to remain so, the only way is to use qpst/qfil or miflash, which are all strictly Windows software.

Thanks for your reply.
I don't think I need root for fastboot. My plan is to unlock bootloader and install a custom rom. I can probably unlock bootloader straight with fastboot command. However, I want to update baseband, as I have read LTE might not work without it. And for baseband I need a flash tool. I am coming from Sony and have plenty of experience in flashing, fastbooting and developing roms. In fact, my Jaguar rom is quite popular on Xperia Z1-Z3 threads. Can a baseband be extracted from stock firmware, so that it could be flashed via fastboot or TWRP? I doubt I can do it via TWRP. I don't have a Windows machine and even if I install Windows on VM, I doubt Qucomm's official software would work. Correct me, if I am wrong...

errr, I meant that you need to run fastboot as root on the Linux machine...w/e
You can flash the modem, which is also the "baseband" through fastboot. The modem firmware is called NON-HLOS.bin and you can find it in the qpst package of any ZUI available.
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash modem NON-HLOS.BIN
fastboot -i 0x2b4c erase modemst1
fastboot -i 0x2b4c erase modemst2
Not sure if qpst works properly in a VM, although the firehose uses virtual port 9008 and I'm not sure if that can pass through. You shall test that for yourself, if you end up in need to use qpst.
Hi Guys,
since few days I try to install a custom rom on my eu xt1635-02.
I opended the bootloader offical way and installed the latest twrp. 3.2.0.1,all went fine,but factory reset deletes not all data and when I try to install a custom rom ( tried several) I always got an error 7 from twrp? So not possible to install something.
I come from latest offical Nougat 7.1.1 rom with february patch.
There are so many theads I was reading,but I think I need help. Also I can't find a definetly method how to root without risk of brik.
Sorry für my bad english, my german is better.
Nobody got the same problem? Maybe phone is damaged?

1. It's always hard to help without logs. Error codes are too unspecific
2. Check the mount settings, under the partition list there is an option for mounting /system as read only. It has to be disabled for installing custom ROMs.
Found something intresting,when I flash twrp without any problem and boot to system...then again tomorrow recovery via hardbuttons over bootloader there comes stock recovery????what ist that? Not able to go to twrp,only after new flash in fastboot.
Then you didn't flash it but just boot it
Hi bro.
I did face same problem here.
Follow the below steps:
Take download a nougat firmware, currently the "NPNS26.118-22-1"
Enter fastboot mode and type these comands:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
You can do on any rom. For example: You are on AEx nougat, enter fastboot mode and type the comands above.
I hope that helped you.

Current firmware is 118-22-2-17! Older builds could lead to downgrade issues!
I have tried several custom roms (Oreo 8.1) like jaguar and AEX and calling is not working. It seems like the phone cannot connect to 3G.
4G is working.
In the stock rom everything is working.
My baseband version is 1.7.X as the roms requires.
I have used sim slot 1 and 2 without any luck.
I make a clean flash when i change rom.
Any suggestions on how to get calling working?
Flash stock zui 2.5 with qifl. It will work as I was having the same problem.

Downgrade to 2.5 and then directly flash the custom ROM? Or should i update to latest zui oreo first?

I think,
1. QFIL 1.9
2. Test if call working
3. Flash 3.5
4. OTA to latest
5. Unlock bootloader + TWRP
6. Flash Custom ROM
7. Test call now.

Flash 2.5 through qifl then test if calls are working. If they are, then go back to custom roms. If they are not, update to 3.5.

Check if your efs partition is is fine. If it is corrupted then you have flash the xqcn file by editing it for your IMEI, there is one thread on that go through it.
Thank you for the help everyone. I found the solution after a long time.
Type this in fastboot:
fastboot -i 0x2b4c erase modemst1
fastboot -i 0x2b4c erase modemst2
fastboot -i 0x2b4c reboot
