I'm facing a weird issue. Dunno wheather its oreo specific bug or not. Whenever I copy a file from phone storage to sd card, the filed is copied successfully,but its size shows 0 b. Everytime. Tried with es files explorer and solid explorer. Same experience. Why so ? Any solution? Facing this issue since November oreo soak build. Now I'm on latest official build.

I just wanted to inform that 8.1 runs pretty well on the G4 XT1622 RETEU, only Safety.Net is failing, but I don't care about it.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] kayserxx:
is there any way to have root + xposed in the oreo firmware of the moto g4 plus?

I installed the official firmware 8.1, I installed magisk 18.1 via twrp + buxybox v1.29.0 + Xposed Framework v90b3 oreo but when restarting the phone does not pass the logo therefore I had to erase the firmware via twrp and flash back to firmware oreo via fastboot and all good, fluid, I love it but I need root + xposed to hibernate the app and save battery
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Cooperx:
Thanks, it worked for me. But I have a question, in the Play Store it tells me that my device is not certified. It must be said that my device has not been rooted and the bootloader is blocked.

Will there be any solution or will it be solved when the final stock ROM comes out?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] thorin0815:
I'm rooted with failed Safety.Net CTS profile and the device shows non certified aswell, but still I can see Netflix inside the App Store, which shouldn't be possible. Maybe you have no disadvantages even with uncertified device status aswell.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Cooperx:
You're right. When I was in the first socktest of oreo I could not use certain app (I had the same non-certified message) now that I updated to the last update of oreo I can use the apps without any problem. It was worth updating!

Just completed my update from 108 build to the one in OP

My device is a XT1640 retbr from Brasil

No problems with IMEI or Play Protect validation after the process

Maybe for you guys it is already common to have the device erased after this process, gladly i already had made backup before starting, but a warning about things getting deleted would be nice IMHO for less experienced users.

Thanks you for everyone who helped me with my questions on the process.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] glugluck:
I had your same problem. Magisk safetypatch v2 module fixed it. Try also a wipe cache/dalvik from twrp and reinstall magisk.

Now everything runs fine for me. My G4 is a XT1622 dualsim reteu.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] thorin0815:
No need for me to use safetypatch v2, because everything works like I would use a certified device. Let's hope Motorola is going to release the kernel sources quite soon, the screen burn on my device is horrible. ;)

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] x64Daniel:
Does turning the brightness down help?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] poisonofchoice:
No
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] IronTechmonkey:
Turning the brightness down will somewhat lessen the apparent severity of the burn in some lighting conditions but but that is really just playing a trick on the eyes by keeping the display dim - the burn in is the same. Using nighttime ambient display mode or otherwise muting the color intensities might be marginally more effective than lower brightness. Avoiding white backgrounds also helps. Frankly I've never ever seen anything like the burn in on this G4, not even in the early days of laptops when burn in was unavoidable. This is just a huge manufacturer’s mistake. It occurs in LOS 14.1 as well, and I don't recall ever seeing it address programmaticaly.

My VOLTE was missing but i was getting the LTE; Then i followed this processed and NOW

Thanks It worked on mine...

but first we need to flash the basement files of the particular country through

"adb shell"

1. install TWRP

2.install "Elemental-X kernel" through TWRP

3.install the "super user" through TWRP

then later on normally Flash the LATEST NOUGAT 7.0 1 (01,april,2018) through fastboot and TWRP flash will not work...

Did someone try the official oreo Update to a Moto G4 (NOT PLUS) XT1622? Does it work? Because the official Moto webpage says that the g4 will remain in Nougat.

Thanks in advance!
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Other members have flashed the Oreo OTA update to OPJ28.111-12 (soak beta build) or OPJ28.111-22 (the official update) with success, see https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/...4-oreo-soak-test-update-t3871136/post78998168 or https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/...4-oreo-soak-test-update-t3871136/post79050202 (possibly needing a battery replacement). As this fastboot ROM is the same build as the aforementioned OTA, and likely safer to use since the fastboot ROM contains whole images, I would expect the official Oreo update to work on the XT1622, whether you use the OTA update or the fastboot ROM. The OTA update will only work on NPJS25.93-14-18 or OPJ28.111-22.

Furthermore, there have been reports that G4 owners have received the update as well via OTA - your experience may vary.

I really don't know what update you want. Kernel source and fastboot Oreo is out, yes. Flash fastboot Oreo and try it. Using kernel source is not easy, there's no Google translate app for it. Give him some time please and stop asking such questions. He has a life too.

And if you are talking about blankflash, sadly Rajat can't do anything about it. They are leaked, they are not opensource. If the latest one does not work, then RIP.

help

its work in XT1625 RETUS?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] svg1234:
I have an XT1641. TWRP. Rooted w/ SuperSU. ElementalX kernel. Stock Nougat. All good.

A few days ago, I made a mistake and took an OTA (I forgot I was still rooted), which of course failed on reboot. That resulted in the fastboot loop. I searched and got out of the loop by zeroing /dev/block/platform/soc.0/(#'s I forget).sdhci/by-name/misc. So far, so good.

But after applying the Oreo stock update...I have no wifi. It boots in the 'off' position. When attempting to turn back on via settings, nothing happens, and once you exit setup it is in the off position again. Everything else works as it should. Here's the strange thing though. I had made a backup of the /boot partition after teh OTA mishap. It still had ElementalX on it. So I flashed it, and voila...wifi. Tried flashing the stock /boot again. No wifi. I then flashed the stock Oreo /boot, installed ElementalX on top, and the wifi works. I don't understand why using the EX kernel results in wifi working, but using the stock kernel (/boot partition) doesn't? Seems that something in my ROM is out of sync w/ the Oreo stock kernel, ramdisk, ?

So...aside from having to redo/reinstall everything (which is a royal PITA)....anyone have any ideas?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] svg1234:
Oh well. After trying a bunch of different things, I gave up and decided to do a complete reinstall. Everything (including wifi) is working now.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] profyler:
You were in Nougat before you flashed it, or you were already on Oreo before flashing the official version?

Did you use the methos described in the first page for flashing? Mine is XT1622 (Nougat, reteu, like yours) but i'm kinda rusty on the flashing stuff.

Just want to be sure. :)

---------- Post added at 17:27 ---------- Previous post was at 17:17 ----------

Do you think Germany will release it officially (OTA) some time? I have the same device (XT1622 RETEU, bought in Germany, currently on

Nougat

).

Kinda rusty on the flashing thing. Did you have to unlock bootloader or something else, or you just flashed it like described on first page?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] glugluck:
I was on lineage 14.1 (which is based on the official Nougat).

Previously I was on stock nougat.

No other roms/kernels ever flashed.

Updating from a stock rom should be almost safe.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Mardukas:
My Moto G4 Plus is running stock Nougat 7.0 but with unlocked bootloader; was previously rooted with TWRP and ElementalX kernel.

Due to an error when trying to do this update which made it TWRP (recovery) looping, I flashed back the stock bootloader, recovery, kernel and etc to make it working again; it went back to unrooted but the bootloader is still unlocked. OTA shows itself for me to apply, but won't work. I messed it up once by not paying attention and don't want to screw things again.

What's the best method for me to flash this 8.1 ROM? Sideload stock with ADB or TWRP backup?

Thanks in adavnce.

Flashed this firmware two days ago on my XT1641 dual SIM (was on unlocked stock rooted Nougat before) and everything went perfectly, both SIMs working. As a personal note I'll mention that had I removed the microSD card before flashing I'd have spared all the backups I had with Titanium. Luckily I was able to recover most of it through Google's own backup service.

1. Flashed stock 8.1 as per OP's instructions. Bootloader version upgraded from B1.07 to B1.09.

2. Flashed TWRP v3.2.1-0

3. Made a complete backup in TWRP (you never know, it might save your life, DO IT)

3. Flashed Magisk v18.1 (had to manually install the Magisk manager app afterwards)

4. (Personal preference) flashed new logo.bin

4. (Personal preference) flashed EX Kernel

You cannot flash stock firmware through recovery. You need a computer and to boot your device to the bootloader, and then flash the stock firmware from your computer.

I've not had any luck with my girlfriend's Canadian G4. Her device is on NPJS25.93-14-8.1-9 and I've been unsuccessful doing an OTA update to the required 14-18 and to the Oreo OTA update. Any tips?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
We don't have the Oreo OTA for that software build. You could try flashing the Oreo stock firmware from the first post of the thread to update instead. You'll need a computer with minimal ADB set up to flash the firmware.

Use the lolinet mirror link, and if you want to keep her data, omit the fastboot erase userdata and fastboot OEM lock begin commands. That should formally update her device to Oreo, but ensure you have a backup of data in case you have to factory reset.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jP6Ekc_um-VXnOqWrGimMX403GObjZx6/view for the Oreo OTA. About 900MB and requires NPJS25.93-14-18 to flash.

If your device is on a different firmware, I would recommend using the fastboot flashable firmware (use the lolinet link for that).
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DemonMonkey112:
Thank you. My device is on the NPJS25.93-14-18.

So now after downloading this file can I transfer it to my internal storage and install the file through the stock recovery or do I need to flash it through adb using my laptop? My device isn't rooted but has a unlocked bootloader.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
1) Make sure your device is fully stock and unmodified - that includes no TWRP, no root/traces of root and no debloating of /oem. The OTA would fail to flash otherwise. If that does not apply, your best bet is to flash the Oreo fastboot firmware.

2)Easiest way is to download the OTA to your internal storage, then navigate to Settings>Apps. Tap the 3 dots in the top right corner, then tap 'show system apps'.

Find Motorola Update Services, tap on the system app and grant storage permissions. Then use Check for Updates, and it should detect the update.

Try flashing the Oreo gpt.bin, and try a different USB cable and port. Also, do not worry about the slot not found, that's normal for our devices (though I cannot remember if bootloader) has-slot:partition: not found is normal)
