Hi guys,
My phone is originally from Colombia. Since I was anxious to get on Lollipop I ended up flashing my phone with the B137 UPDATE_CUST.app, which now only allows me to flash the European firmware. I would like to get back to the Colombian version, but I'm unable to figure out, how? I have tried flashing a vendor.img with hw/nla, but it failed with Command not allowed. I took a look at the files that are included in the B137 UPDATE_CUST, in the hopes that I could create one for B120, which is the version I am currently on, but I have absolutely no idea how to go about it. I would really appreciate any advice and help I can get.
Thanks!
IDK how region works but I mine's from the Philippines and the version was B120SP04. I kept on upgrading and downgrading to and from B324 because of bugs.
I used B125SP02 from Romania and Italy, B120SP04 South East Asia, and will be using the B326 South Africa.
Flash B324 and flash B300 Transition Pack. After successful flashing of B300, flash B120.
Hope this answers your question.

You can find out what region yours is for by dialing *#*#2846579#*#* go to ProjectMenu, then Networking, then vendor and country info. Mine use to say hw/nla, which stands for North Latin America, but now it says hw/eu for Europe. This happened after flashing the B137 UPDATE_CUST.app, what I want now is to get it back to North Latin America, so that I can flash the B327 from Colombia.

es file manager is great in device /system and /build prop ..
where did you get the update_cust.app file from?
No need to change anthing, mine is also nla version, i've already upgrade to B522. I am on B511 first(tried several times cannot upgrade.to B522), then I downgrade to B324, and then use B522 full package upgrade directly.

I know that "AL10" is "China region" and "L29" is several others regions.
But do someone know what mean the differents codes on the different roms C185 - C636 - C432 - C900 ????????????????
3 days that I try to know what this codes mean !!!
On mine from "Wondamobile" (L29 gold 64 Go 2 sims) was "L29????B103", I've flashed the "L29C432B152" rom with the method "dload" and 3 buttons without unlock, without TRWP or anything, and it became "L29C900B152" and I don't understand why C432 => C900 ????
NXT-L29C432 is the 3/32 EU model and the 4/64 model is not yet available for Europe.
You probably had previously NXT-L29C185B103.
With the flashing method you used you'll get NXT-l29C432B152 only if previously having NXT-L29C432B133.
IMHO NXT-L29C900 should be a generic model type, the one that appears in the build.prop file of every NXT-L29 Mate 8.
You're not alone:

Hi, I'll try to explain what happened and what you have to do.
The firmware that you have flashed (B512), corresponds to devices with region: hw / spcseas (Asia) And your phone came out of the factory with the version: hw / meafnaf (Middle East). This way you will not be able to update via ota or via DLOAD.
When installing a different region on another is in error. obtaining compilation C900B514 / C900B522 / C900B560. Then this way it is not possible to update.
There are four regions:
hw/spcseas (Asia C636B512)
hw/meafnaf (Middle East C185B514 / C185B560)
hw/cn (China C01B351 )
hw/eu (European C432-B522 /C432-B560/C432-B571)
check your current region. dial *#*#2846579#*#* then tap on network information>vendor country info.
What you have to do is a rolback with the c900b500 transition package (Works for any region) and then install the corresponding version with each region
Folks, wanted to leave you guys a heads up that some of us are facing issues with the phone not picking up a 4G signal, or picking a signal but not connecting to mobile data or VoLTE after the update to NPL26.118-20
Here's a thread I created specific to India and Jio 4G with Band 5 (850Hz) in the official Lenovo support forum - https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums.../Moto_Z/highlight/false/page/1/thread-id/2624
Here's one more thread - https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/Moto_Z/thread-id/2668/page/1
Before you upgrade, use LTE Discovery app to ensure you're not in one of these regions with an affected LTE Band!
Update to the issue - my phone (running 7.1.1) is only trying to connect to Band 5 FDD-LTE in the location where I am at, but does not manage a LTE/ VoLTE signal or connects but drops/ does not connect after reboot. I used another XT1650-03 that is still running 7.0, which connects to Band 40 TDD-LTE (same exact location, same SIM used in both the devices). My service provider is known to utilize multiple LTE bands in the same location, but it is weird that 7.0 connects to Band 40 and works fine but 7.1.1 tries to connect only to Band 5 - that too without success.
I am roaming in a location where both Band 5 and Band 40 are available. 1650-03 with 7.0 connects to Band 40, but 7.1.1 insists on connecting to Band 5 but fails.
I have the same problem in austria.

Please post it in detail i n the Lenovo forum link from the first post of this thread. Let's make as much reports as we can there - we haven't seen any solution yet
RETUS Unit here
Only Band 3 works.
Everything else drops out.

There is no way to downgrade except for going in for replacement, and hope that the replacement device comes with 6.0.1 or 7.0, and not 7.1.1 - I tried this route with the Moto service already, and am thinking of going in for the replacement..

There are factory images available (for RETEU only 6.0.1 version is available), if i understand you correctly, downgrading by flashing the full ROM with mfastboot would not work properly...? I'm considering to just downgrade and wait for them to solve the issues with 7.1.1, since sending the device for repairs would be a hassle...

It won't flash the boot, recovery, and system partitions (among others), and will tell you that you cannot downgrade.
I took mine to the service centre, and all they can do is reflash 7.1.1 - they cannot downgrade either, only option is replacement and hope the replaced device comes with 6.0.1 or 7.0

Have you tried flashing 7.0 on it? bullfinch110 suggested that the bootloader changed from 6.x to 7.x, that's why you can't downgrade, but flashing 7.0 should be fine. [link]
For you i suppose instead of the RETBR, you'd need some RETIN firmware.

I did not find the retin such image, think I tried the reteu 7.0, but it failed. Let me know if you're able to get it to downgrade - but have at least the 7.1.1 ota handy just in case. What I've found is that the modem will downgrade - and will probably fix the 4G issue, but WiFi won't work.

I unlocked the bootloader + used RSDLite to flash the retus 7.0.
Warranties be damned if it's gonna have to be ship it across the world.

I believe it shares software update line with REAPAC
At least according to this side:https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20Z/Stock/XT1650-03/
Android 7.0 also missing LTE bands
Got my hands on an European Moto Z model xt1650-03 reteu, still on Android 7.0 with security patch of April 1st 2017, and am having LTE-reception limited to Band 1, 3 and 20, although provider and coverage indicate that band 5 and 8 also should be present.
In settings there is only 4g present, no enchanced 4g for LTE or Volte, although having activated those services through my provider (Vodafone CZ). The occasional 4+ is sometimes also showing.
Having read about the problems with the total loss of LTE for several users after upgrading to 7.1.1, I am very reluctant to make the jump before an eventual patch.
Any thoughts from other users with similar issues?
best regards,

After being thrown back and forth between phone support and service center, I have figured out the solution on my own. Long story short, use Baseband (NON-HLOS.bin) version M8996_1258.42.03.11R SID for retin considering it fixes the Jio 4G roaming issue. M8996_1258.42.03.11R is from retcn (XT1650-05)
As of build NPL26.118-20-5-3 (Oct 2017 Security patch), my phone has a Baseband version of M8996_1239.53.01.0126.04.01R SID, which does not work with Jio 4G if it is roaming between different parts of the country that uses different LTE Bands.
M8996_1258.42.03.11R SID works just fine - Jio 4G VoLTE works in roaming, Wifi and BT works too. When I need to update (security updates or to check if Moto finally fixed the problem), I flash the full firmware for NPL26.118-20-5, get OTA updates that came after, check if they fixed the issue (which they haven't till now) and flash M8996_1258.42.03.11R SID NON-HLOS.bin so that I can use my phone.
I also have my wife's phone with a SIM from the same Jio 4G network (in roaming too) that I have kept at 7.0 without upgrading to 7.1.1, only to prove to Moto service that the phone itself is fine, and its the update to 7.1.1 that messed it up. Her phone running 7.0 has Baseband version M8996_1239.53.01.126R SID and works fine in stock form. If I flash this Baseband version on my 7.1.1, 4G and VoLTE will work, but Wifi breaks.
Both the phones are bootloader-locked (never been unlocked), and not modded in any way. If you need any technical detail/ experiments, let me know - I am doing all that I can without unlocking my bootloader anyway.

Code:

Flashing the modem does not require an unlocked bootloader, so you can experiment with different modems - just make sure you are flashing modem versions from the different variants of XT1650, that's all.
September's 1+GB updated fixed most of the heating and LTE band issues.
You just have to fix the damage caused by the heating by replacing the batery.

Unfortunately, the update did not fix the Jio 4G roaming issue I'd described in the OP. And this is the only fix apart from staying with 7.0 that helps...
Finally, after almost 9 months of dealing with this problem, the retin update to OPL27.76-51 resolved the issue. The phone now readily latches on to Jio 4G when on roaming without me having to go through all the hassles I have been undergoing since I updated to 7.1.1.
