[REQUEST] Stock Rom NPLS26.118-20-5-16 RETUS - Moto Z Questions & Answers

Hello! I'd like to have this stock rom (NPLS26.118-20-5-16 XT1650-03) to relock my bootloader (any previous version is downgrade and doesn't work).
Does somebody know where to find it or could patch it? I have no idea how to do it.
Regards!

Thanks for your reply. I followed this procedure several times, but my bootloader and GPT partition are the version I quoted, then it return errors when flashing them.
I couldn't find this version firmware anywhere.

Need help downgrading

I need help downgrading from B330 C432 back to lollipop.
I was going to flash the downgrade package but it seems to be for b313? so i didn't
I tried force upgrading B130 directly anyways and it failed
help
EDIT: nevermind.. flashed rollback anyways and after that full B130 flash worked!
That rollback package works for any marshmallow.

Retail EU doesn't have 7.0 Nougat firmware

Dear friends,
I want to ask why Moto Z XT1650 - 03 Retail EU, now doesn't have the full 7.0 firmware yet? Most of version, like RETMX, RETLA, RETCA, TELUS, those have 7.0 full firmware.
Now I would like to unlock bootloader and root my device, but I am afraid of this process will have some issue, I need to re-flash the firmware.
I have already OTA to 7.0
Are there some people can tell me where I can downlaod the full firmware of Retal EU? Or this version will not be released?
Thank you,
You have to ask Lenovo/Motorola why they haven't released officially signed recovery images yet. As of now, you can safely flash RETBR as RETEU, but won't be able to relock the bootloader. But that was already discussed several times.
But the question is that, where can I find the firmware of RETBR ?
Could you please provide the link or share drive to me ?
If I root failed, so I don't want to flash back to 6.0, you know My bootloader was up to date.

Yes, Mate. I have got this link also.
But it seems the RETBR is not related to 7.0 firmware. It just 6.0

[help] How can I upgrade kiw-l21c432b160 to android 6

I need to install Android 6, but I can't seem to find a firmware upgrade that matches my version exactly.
What version is safe to use? I'm completely new to the android world, so I'm completely lost…
The closest I've found is a file named "Honor 5X_Firmware_KIW-L21_Android 6.0.1_EMUI 4.0_C432B330CUSTC432D001_Denmark.zip" but according to the PDF included in it I should only be used with versions:
KIW-L21C432B130CUSTC432D005
KIW-L21C432B130CUSTC432D006
KIW-L21C432B140
KIW-L21C432B300CUSTC432D002
Mine is kiw-l21c432b160.
Is it safe to use this one? Do you have any idea where I might find a suitable .zip if not?
Thanks for the help

What is cust version of you phone??
Did you try finding your firmware using firmware finder.?
I've given the full build number as it appears on the device (no CUSTxxx) suffix. Should I look somewhere else?
I'll check this firmware finder app once I have the opportunity.

I have successfully downloaded a firmware using firmware finder.
When I go to Settings, update, local install, it is recognized and offers to install it. But then it boots to TWRP and fails to install. I guess I need to use the stock recovery? Any help appreciated...
And thanks!

Yes you need to to flash stock recovery...
Okay... So the closest I've found is this: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=55194
But it's for B140, not B160. Apparently I have a very exotic model. Is it safe to flash or am I stuck here?

Yes, now I'm starting to understand all these version numbers. My end goal is to install LineageOS, but I need MM first.
So now, I've switched back to Huawei eRecovery instead of TWRP, and tried two different firmwares (before B360 because apparently it prevents installing LineageOS), that were "validated with my IMEI". Settings>Update>Local>Reboot, installation starts I'm about to cry tears of joy and then around 15%, installation fails with no further details. I can then shutdown and reboot to my good ol' lollipop. Not sure what to do next...

I still have the same lollipop firmware my device was bought with. I don't think I have US variant. I brought it from (Amazon France)[https://www.amazon.fr/Honor-5X-Smar...d=1508409802&sr=8-2&keywords=huawei+honor+5x] and I am in France. The product title says it is unlocked but I had to do it myself.
I'll try your link as soon as I receive my SD card, because apparently it is required for this method. I still have this file from an older download, but was scared because a PDF file included in it mentioned it should be used with B140 and did not mention B160, but now that I've flashed a stock recovery meant for B140, this doesn't scare me anymore.
Thank you very much for taking the time to help a noob FOSS-enthusiast!

Nope. This problem will be if you try to downgrade from 7.x.x. Upgrade should be painless. Also you can choose any channel. It will be work, but without ota`s updates.
I`ve installed retus on retcn. All working, except otas. Maybe in oreo smthng changes.
Also remember, you doing at your own risk. If you don`t fully understand what you doing - don`t do it. (Google it before )

Well, isn't it exactly what he meant? He has a 7.1.1 system, and the only version on that site was 6.0.1, so basically he will have problems with downgrading from 7 to 6, right?

Uhm, on that site you can choose any ROM you want. Reteu stuck on 6, so, technically, you right.

Canadian Wind GR5w bootloop

Hello all. I have a GR5W phone, which I think is specific to wind (freedom) mobile in Canada. I have unlocked the bootloader and managed to install TWRP. But none of the ROMs meant for the 5X work on this phone (I've tried Lineage, CM 13, Slim). In my enthusiasm, I forgot to backup and now I don't have a stock ROM to go back to. Huawei doesn't have any stock firmware on their website. What are my options? I did try using the dload method to update to other firmware, but all result in boot loops. Please help!

Which model do you have? It would say that on the box -- do a search for the specific model (eg: KIW-L24, KII-L05, KII-L21, etc) firmware for your phone.

Thanks for your reply. This is a friend's phone. He threw the box out. All I know is the model number is H1621 and it is mentioned as GR5W in huawei's website. Its FCC id is QIS-KIW-A1. I'm going to try flashing a TWRP backup from another thread this weekend. Hopefully that would work.

So, that didn't work. I also found out the phone is called KIWI-A1 (gr5w h1621). Huawei has published the kernel code for this. I don't think this model is supported by any of the Huawei 5x roms. Can I request the lineage team to add this model?

Hi seedai_murukku,
Did you have any luck restoring any ROM to your KIW-A1?
I've found other KIW ROMs but they all result in the same boot loop that you described. Thanks.

Hey Guilo,
Still no luck. I tried to compile a custom boot.img from the source. Got stuck with a few warnings and gave up. I might try fixing and re-compiling soon.
