Thanks! Is this the de-facto latest version as of today? Can we fastboot flash these directly from any other patch level or should we go in sequence? (for instance, I am on PP029.114-16..)

It is the latest at least the latest the LMSA app picks up. You can fastboot flash this over any version that is older. If you ever flash downgrade your device is bricked. During flashing just omit the step to clear userdata unless you're factory resetting.
Well I decided to try fastboot flashing this from PP029.114-16 and now I am getting constant restarts after the Motorola image appears.
Trying to fix this...
I uninstalled Magisk beforehand and did a userdata wipe at the same time when I did this.

Performed the fastboot sequence again and it is working
Does anyone know if this will work with the Amz variant? I have an unlocked bootloader, fastboot flashed the RETUS PPO29.114-16, and have Magisk installed.
Edit: corrected errors

I received the OTA last week but had to flash manually since the bootloader is unlocked.

I got it Tuesday May 21st.
I have a screenshot of the build and baseband info, but the app keeps throwing a bad request error when I attach it.
PPOS29.114-16-5-2
XT1962-1
US Retail
Unlocked from Best Buy.
Using Verizon sim.
My g7 is bootloader unlocked and rooted with Magisk. Is there a way to use the Rescue feature on the LMSA tool to download the firmware updates? When I connect my g7 in fastboot mode to my PC running LMSA, LMSA pops a dialog box "device is not supported". My g7 is XT1962-1 that I purchased through Google Fi.
My previous mobile phone is a Nexus 6 and when it was supported by Google the firmware was posted on the Nexus website on a monthly basis. I'm struggling with the process for the g7 firmware images.
So, I am on a replacement phone now. I took the latest OTA and this got me to PPOS29.114-16-5-2.
So, it doesn't look like PPO29.114-16-7-2 is released for OTA yet? I'm not gonna flash anything that doesn't pop up on my OTA going forward..

Firmware is here. Directions are here.
LMSA won't help you on a rooted device plus all it does are the same directions I provided. Might as well do it yourself.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, there seems to be some confusion. Let me try again.
1. The repository at mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/river/official does not appear to me as an authentic Motorola repository. Why would Motorola have a Paypal.me link at the top of the page for Li Huixia in Shanghai?
2. You previously provided the firmware I'm currently using
BUILD REQUEST INFO:
SW Version: river-user 9 PPOS29.114-16-7-2 42129 release-keysM632_12.52.01.86R
MBM Version: MBM-2.1-river_retail-b508f3a-190402
Modem Version: M632_12.52.01.86R

Build Fingerprint: motorola/river/river:9/PPOS29.114-16-7-2/42129:user/release-keys
CQATest App Version: 6.0.4
Did you use the LMSA tool to download this zip file? If so, do you have a device that is completely stock (i.e. bootloader locked, no root)? If you didn't use LMSA to get the 114-16-7-2 firmware, where did you get it? It's not on the lolinet repository site in the river/official/RETAIL directory.
3. Coming from a Nexus 6 phone, I used this site ( https://developers.google.com/android/images ). I've been trying to find the equivalent site for Motorola firmware images that is an authentic Motorola repository.
I'm not trying to be impolite or argumentative, but details matter when dealing with software and hardware.
Thanks.

I've used the LMSA app to download the firmware [for all 29.114-16-X] and also the link I posted. I ran sha256/512 hashes on both zip files from each source. They were identical.
is there a way to install the google power menu on one ui3 /android 11 on samsung?
just received the update and noticed no change there to android 10

Answer is no, todo that you need to modify android os.
Hi,
If any magisk/root user on this device can answer, will the background update still work ? Will Magisk auto patch the new boot image automatically ?
It looks like Sony disables device's update function when unlocked, someone can confirm ?
Yes i Can confirm.
You Can Update with newflasher.
Indeed, but less practical.
Just read the news https://www.xda-developers.com/android-12l-developer-preview-1-lenovo-p12-pro/
It looks like it's still on early stage but here is the link for instructions and download:
DPP

The first large screen optimized Android OS with new APIs for application developers to provide a better app usage
experience in landscape mode, including easier multitasking, system UI optimization and more.
Security patch updated to 2021-11-01

WORD OF WARNING!!
DO NOT USE THE LENOVO SMART RECOVERY ON THE CHINESE XIAOXIN VARIENT. If you flash the P12 firmware to the XIOAXIN Variant you will be stuck in the boot loader with no access to Recovery or ADB.
I actually did use the Lenovo RSA (Recovery and Smart Assistant) on my Xiaoxin variant trying to get it to something more English-based. Didn't work w/ what RSA downloaded which was TB_Q706F_USR_S211043_2111300010_Q00243_ROW which showed up recently. Flash happened w/o problems but upon reboot it was not happy and said H/W was incompatible and then powered off. I got it back into fastboot and was about to reflash 12L.
I was able to get into recovery and my Linux laptop was able to push 12L to it even though adb said device was unauthorized. Maybe that was because I had used it on that laptop before? Idk, I just used recovery to go into fastboot mode and then all the fastboot flash/erase commands worked fine.

That's great news at least you're tablet isn't useless?!
I believe they may be releasing the final updated for android 12L via ota. (there is a post on the Lenovo forums). If you're lucky this may be a back door to an eventual better rom than the Chinese junk. To clarify it's not the fault of the language that is the issue with the Chinese rom it's the problems with the security app, lack of open CL, broken sound in key apps (JustPlayer) and missing DTS codec which is present on the 2021 Pad Pro 11"
The last security update I see is June 1, 2022, which is to install Android 13, which I don't really want. Since there is a a new wifi calling exploit found, is there a way to get the security updates without installing A13 or does Goolge have the deck stacked and I'm essentially forced to upgrade? I live in a rural area and without wifi calling, I have no service.
I think your best bet would be to install a security patch via Magisk if you can find one. Also, maybe a kernel would offer what your looking for?

First of all the exploit was fixed with the latest update a few days ago! The exploit was discovered, fixed and published by Google. That's the usual way a chip manufacturer deals with it and there' no reason why it should be unsecure to use the latest firmware. BTW: No device was attacked.
Security patch level June '22? You want the latest patch level without installing the corresponding firmware? For what purpose? A new security patch = updated firmware and without an updated firmware you don't have any patches. That's it.
Edit: Some background information. Your installed patch level is set in your boot.img. In theory you'll need a patched boot.img with another patch level (unlocked bootloader required => all data gets wiped!). But your device isn't then more secure than before!!
So it's clear in my head, the OS is firmware and the latest security patches rely on the latest OS to function, correct?

Interesting. I installed all the available updates and the is no March update, which I thought was needed to fix the exploit. The most recent update is from Feb 5, 2023. This is a 6A phone.
