Help about flashing firmware - Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers

Hello guys, I am using Oreo OS with latest August security update. I am noticing so much heat since updating to August patch. Is there any way to revert back to previous July update using flashtool. I didn't rooted my device and i don't want to root. Also, Is it possible to revert back to any previous OS without root?

Anyone have a link to most recent OTA package? Also, is it possible to go back to MM?

Im currently on 7.0, November 1, 2016 security patch, and Build Number 25.86-15. Phone is showing that I am up to date when I know that I am not. Anyone have a link to a more recent update I can flash through fastboot? Also, would it be possible to downgrade back to MM?
Sadly, if you either updated to Nougat via OTA or the phone comes with Nougat, there is no way to downgrade to Marshmallow.

XT1524 Firmware question

Hi
My aunt gave me her old phone (XT1524) as she bought a new device.
The device had received the latest December patch. I did want to install LOS 14.1 and thus I unlocked the bootloader. But I want to return the latest stock. I couldn't find the latest one. Only the February one. As a result, I'm NOT able to install it completely and if I flash only the system and the boot.img, I get an update notification (which I'm scared to install because it may brick my device, or it is my idea????)
Anyhow, where I can find the latest and "greatest" stock firmware for my XT1524
Thanks
You're safe to install that update, there is currently no firmware with the December patch available to download. Although at first you might want to fully flash every file from the February firmware from scratch, just to be safe.

Moto Z retus not updating?

What build number/security version patch level is your Moto Z retus unlocked model currently running? Mine's still on NPL25.86-30/January 1, 2017 and keeps telling me it's up to date whenever I check. I got to that update by flashing the TELUS stock ROM I saw in another post on here with RSD Lite but haven't received an update since then.
mine is repac and april security update
I re-flashed with RETUS 7.0 stock ROM I downloaded from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/griffin/official/RETUS/ and immediately after booting I got the OTA to NPLS25.86-17-3-8 with April 1, 2017 security update.

You could download the modified Odin and SimFirm applications on your computer, download the fw then update through Odin.
Or, you could go to https://firmware.science and follow the easy steps listed at bottom of the page. However I'm not sure this method will get you to the most current update.
Can I jump from my current android version to the most updated one? Or do I have to go though in between past updates?
Does this method work for the snapdragon version with locked bootloader?

Using Odin you can jump to the most current. And yes, as long as you choose the correct fw when downloading
