Crucial Warning: Match the exact model number (XT1721, XT1723, XT1724, XT1725, XT1726) and the region tag in the filename (APAC, APAC-HK, APAC-Thailand, EMEA, RETLA, RETBR) before flashing. XT1723 alone ships in both Dual SIM and Single SIM builds for the same EMEA region — the wrong one can leave the second SIM slot non-functional or affect radio behavior.

Flashing Overview for Motorola Moto C Plus (XT1721–XT1726 panell)
- Confirm your exact model number and region tag
- Check whether your package is an SP Flash Tool scatter archive or a CFC.xml fastboot package
- For SP Flash Tool packages, no bootloader unlock is needed
- For CFC.xml packages, unlock the bootloader first, then flash via fastboot
- 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Check the model number under the removable battery cover or in Settings > About phone, and compare it against the region tag in the filename (APAC, APAC-HK, APAC-Thailand, EMEA, RETLA, RETBR).
Only for the CFC.xml/flashfile-based RETLA/RETBR packages, which flash over standard fastboot. SP Flash Tool packages — the majority of builds on this page — write over MediaTek's BROM interface and do not require an unlocked bootloader.
Yes. Motorola's official support for the Moto C Plus stayed on Android 7.0 Nougat for its full lifecycle; any newer OS version requires a custom ROM.
