Motorola Moto C Plus (XT1721–XT1726) Stock Firmware Download

The Moto C Plus (filename codename tag panell) is a budget Android handset built on the MediaTek MT6737M platform, with a 5.0-inch HD display and a removable 4000mAh battery. It shipped with, and stayed on, Android 7.0 Nougat for its full official lifecycle. Motorola released the panell line across five model numbers, XT1721 through XT1726 (skipping XT1722), each tied to a specific region: XT1721 (APAC), XT1723 (EMEA), XT1724 and XT1725 (RETLA/Latin America), and XT1726 (RETLA/RETBR Brazil, with a built-in DVB-T2 TV tuner).

Stock firmware for this device is typically needed to resolve a bootloop, reverse a failed OTA update, remove a custom ROM or root, or restore original regional software.

Flashing Overview for Motorola Moto C Plus (XT1721–XT1726 panell)

  1. Confirm your exact model number and region tag
  2. Check whether your package is an SP Flash Tool scatter archive or a CFC.xml fastboot package
  3. For SP Flash Tool packages, no bootloader unlock is needed
  4. For CFC.xml packages, unlock the bootloader first, then flash via fastboot
  5. Verify Android version and network/SIM behavior after flashing
Expand preparation checklist for Motorola Moto C Plus (XT1721–XT1726 panell)
  • Confirm the exact XT172x model number from the device label, Settings > About phone, or by removing the battery.
  • Identify the region tag (APAC, APAC-HK, APAC-Thailand, EMEA, RETLA, RETBR) before downloading; the same XT number can carry different, non-interchangeable regional builds.
  • Open the archive and check whether it contains MT6737_Android_scatter.txt (SP Flash Tool) or flashfile.xml/CFC.xml (fastboot) — the two require different tools and, for fastboot, a prior bootloader unlock.
  • Back up any accessible user data; both flashing paths typically wipe userdata.
  • Install the MediaTek USB VCOM drivers (for SP Flash Tool) or Motorola USB drivers and fastboot platform-tools (for CFC.xml packages) before attempting a manual flash.
  • Use a reliable USB cable; the removable 4000mAh battery makes a mid-flash hard reset possible if needed, but keep it charged above 30% and the cable connected throughout.

Compatibility & Bootloader Notes

SP Flash Tool writes over MediaTek's BROM/preloader interface and does not require an unlocked bootloader — this is different from the fastboot-only Qualcomm Motorola devices elsewhere on this site. The RETLA/RETBR CFC.xml service packages (parts of XT1724, XT1725, XT1726) do use standard fastboot and do require an unlocked bootloader, obtained separately through Motorola's official unlock-token process. Check which package type you've downloaded (a scatter file vs. a flashfile.xml/CFC.xml) before assuming either requirement applies.
