You say so but I can't find it. There is talk about nandroids and such but that is not an option for people who don't want to unlock their phones. An OTA is appealing especially for people with completely locked phones but I respectfully think you should be a little bit more careful when trying to motivate people to try this SOAK ota because for lots of people like me there is no way back without losing the phone's lock status.

My days of flashing custom roms and all are behind me. I simply don't have the time anymore nor the drive to go through all that again. I just want things to work now. A little bit of ADB is fine but I just can't afford the time to go through a lot of hassle in case my phone would get stuck with an OTA that I don't want to keep. It would then be a lot easier to just run to the shop and buy a new phone but this one is meant to last at least another 2 years or so. Otherwise it would just be a waste of energy and materials (and money).
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xantanion:
The build you have up is behind.

There is nothing safe about flashing a soak test build. Ever. If you don't get the updates you're stuck without unlocking or with whatever bugs the soak had As you need an unlocked bootloader to be rooted.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] AgentSmith:
That was exactly what I thought and also the reason why I haven't flashed it. It's just that the OP seems to imply otherwise and I wanted to be 100% sure that it is or isn't safe. Thanks for your clarification!
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] joshua764:
I'm in the same case as you. I have the bootloander blocked. I followed all the thread and if there is a person who returned to 7.1.1 December patch, only that if he had the bootloander unlocked. then if someone of good will clarifies me, I unblock the bootloander and by adb return to patch of December? I do not want to stay stuck

Is it supposed to take this long for official ota to arrive after the soak test does anyone know.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] timster01:
Someone has to capture the OTA before they can share it.

Or if they're part of the soak test, use motoota.lolinet.com to download the latest OTA with their phones serial number.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xantanion:

i think ill install it im getting inpatient am i right in thinking iff i have stock 7.1 dec patch with unlocked bootloder i can go back to 7.1 again iff any issues. And also iff i flash the soak test will i get further updates.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Artim_96:
Yes and no. If you can get it to flash you'll be able to go back to 7.1.1 but you'll not get any updates. You'll have to go through every soak there is manually, there is already a newer one but it seems no one has provided the file yet. You'll have to go through all soaks up to the final build to get OTAs
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] zeu87:
Who is Soak tester could tell which version is the system in? Is it still in the OPN27.74 version?
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Artim_96:
lol. after finding a way to flash stock ROM that actually works I tried again and it flashed...but after entering bootup code I just get the Motorola Logo and the display turning off and immediately on again. Is that normal? Or could this have to do with me accidentally first flashing September patch and then finding the right xml.zip for december patch? I though only and OTA after downgrade is bad. And my device is definetely not bricked since nougat is booting up just fine
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] iscjarquin:

Are you actually in recovery and not fastboot? And have you selected update over adb? And most important: check in device manager of your phone is listed as adb device.

[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Artim_96:
You can go back without problems. Just make sure you don't install any OTAs until you flashed final Oreo as a complete flash. That should prevent the device from getting bricked

If you've got a locked bootloader, you will not be able to downgrade to 7.1.1. you can only update your device. If you don't want to unlock your bootloader, you'll have to either wait for the other soak tests OTA updates to be captured or wait for the Oreo fastboot ROM. You can flash the fastboot ROM without losing your data by omitting the 'fastboot erase userdata' command and OEM lock commands, though as always back up before flashing anything system related.

Coming from the 7.1.1 soak test (June 1 security patch)

When I bought my Z Play last summer I immediately loaded the 7.1.1 soak test. It has been on that since.

What's the path to go from that soak test to this soak test?

thx!
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] By3K:
I think that if you are in the last security patch you will have a successful installation sideloading this soak.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] jonas210678:
First get rid of the old soak test with this instruction:

Then you will get the normal otas the last one should be with December security level and then you can flash this soak test
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rdsj:

[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xantanion:
You are behind. And I'm guessing he just found it somewhere else on the internet he literally said he's not in the test on his first post.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rdsj:
I understood that, he still got it from somewhere though. To me it seems like if you have a source that same source would update for further OTAs.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] echo92:
Depends on how they got the OTA in the first place - if they rooted to capture the update, then they may have made themselves ineligible to receive future updates. Or by leaking the soak OTA they may have been removed from the soak test program. Or maybe they are respecting the NDA that signing onto the Motorola Feedback Network mandates.

Though the above is speculation, this does illustrate the issue with flashing soak tests, unless you are part of the soak test program and as such have Motorola's support. Without further soak test OTA updates, you are stuck on the OTA build unless you downgrade or find the later OTA update or flash the Oreo fastboot ROM. I understand this is XDA, however we're still dependent on quality sources.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] xantanion:
You said it exactly how it is. One thing with the soak test is each of them is labeled by Motorola so they know which is being used where and when one of them suddenly reports on a ton of phones it's a little suspicious.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] MirandaEduardo:

Does anyone know if there is any update?
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] THIAGO-RJ:
a versão do minimal está desatualizada

Surely the version of minimal ADB is outdated, uninstall and restart the computer and install again (at the beginning of the post has the minimal link, download it and install, at least it worked for me in that way), or maybe it's because you're not in the correct rom to start or boot is rom, install the 7.1.1 rom stock without doing root, then you will have to enter adb mode. Any doubts, we are at your disposal for this beautiful work ..

(I'm sorry for my English)

I'll be leaving youtube link for you to try to do the procedure, follow every detail and be happy, first make a backup of the files, and if you already have TWRP make a backup of the current rom of the device, I'll be giving space between the lines of the link not to take strikes of xda ..

Yup, update worked properly, with the February security patch.

Looks like the nav keys still move so it must be a burn in protection feature as I suspected.

Updated Moto launcher is included as well, won't use it but definitely didn't expect them to do that so ? Motorola. It comes with the added app shortcuts which is a welcome addition but they seem to be a little buggy, probably a combination of my custom DPI and Substratum themes though.

Took a long time for me, passed through some troubles, almost brick my phone but it finally works.

At the first attempt, it stuck on 64% and after 1 hour i've decided to restart my laptop and my phone, but when my phone light up again, it showed a error message like "Your device has failed varification and may not work properly", so this forced me to flash Stock Room, set all over again and then try to flash Android 8.0, and this time i got sucess.

After first initialization, i flashed the second soak and now it's 100% working.

You would need to unlock your bootloader in order to flash through fastboot or RSD the proper software. You need Nougat December patch. There's a thread about it in the forum, if you follow the steps they say, you can relock the bootloader. Of course, the procedure will erase your data, but there's no other way.

You might as well try to find the Nougat soak files to get back into OTA's, but I don't know if they're available.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] zeu87:
You need to install by adb the Soak tests 2 and 3 of nougat 7.1.1 to receive the December version by ota and then be able to install Oreo. The Soak are here: https://mega.nz/#F!aZZSyZDB!ImvSXuHdmdToeY28uVkRhw

Thank you Talktosam for the effort!

ROM stable my device got really fast!

waiting for the next soaks. For those who install soak test 2 it is necessary to remove the TWRP, uninstalling the Magisk, because TWRP is removed forcing the STOCK recovery back, because it will only open adb sideloader by uninstalling TWRp! and for anyone with error during installation just clean wipe cache and try again, no need to leave the sideload abd, just wipe cache.
