I'm currently on stock (locked bootloader) February security patch (NPNS26. 118-22-2-17) can i install the oreo soak OTA?

If so from which OTA should i start.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] rafikowy:
No. Be patient and wait for official OTA or (even better) for fastboot factory image.

Read my post before trying to flash any oreo soaks: https://xdaforums.com/moto-z-play/how-to/warning-mzp-hard-bricked-repaired-t3774307
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] echo92:
If you're on the Feb 2018 NPNS26. 118-22-2-17 patch, I would not recommend trying to flash the Oreo soak test OTA.

1)The soak test OTA requires the December 2017 stock ROM, so downgrading would require you to unlock your bootloader, voiding your warranty and wiping your data as a security measure.

2)As mentioned above, the Oreo OTA seems to be only designed to be flashed over the Dec 2017 C1:13 bootloader. As you've updated to the Feb 2018 stock ROM patch, I think you have the C1:14 bootloader. If so, then attempting to downgrade and flash the Oreo OTA patch may hard brick your device (as the Oreo OTA patch may corrupt your Feb 2018 bootloader, since bootloaders generally are not downgradeable, even if you flash a stock ROM - you will likely see 'security version downgrade' errors). The blankflashes we have may not work in rescuing your device if bricked in this manner and may require an expensive repair (usually a motherboard replacement). If you're lucky, you may be covered by local consumer laws, but if not, then I recall the cost of a new motherboard is 50-70% of the device cost.

3)I don't know what bugs are present in the latest soak test patches, but flashing these will mean you are subject to those bugs, and without official support from Motorola (unless you're part of the soak test program), will either have to live with the bugs or hope you can find a tester to ask to pass the bugs onto Motorola.

As such, I would recommend you wait for the official Oreo OTA patch or the official Oreo fastboot ROM.

Guys, I'm AOSP right now. From the beginning on i've rooted my device, had custom roms all the time so my BL is still C1.07.

If i'm interpreting this right i should first find my stock rom, flash that over this one to get the stock recovery and OS back.

Update my rom until i get to the December patch and then flash the SOAK in order.

But for me this doesn't make any sense. At one point I had the SOAK rom, or a custom based on SOAK, but i can't seem to find it here on XDA anymore or so. But fact is my BL is definately still C1.07.

I wish i could still remember what i did back then, but since i would have known i if i flashed the stock recovery back, could it be that there is a way to install the SOAK without having the original recovery? My best guess was that i had the 3.1.1.x TWRP at the time, since i flashed the 3.2.1.x just last week.

Since my BL is still C1.07, it would be relatively safe to just try and install the Dec patch custom rom and then install the SOAK through TWRP and see wat happens right?
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] echo92:
Custom ROMs do not update the bootloader, as they do not generally touch the bootloader - same usually goes for TWRP flashables of the stock ROM. The bootloader usually gets modified when you flash stock firmware or apply OTA updates.

You also cannot apply this soak test via TWRP - you require a stock recovery and completely stock firmware for this soak test OTA to successfully flash. As you pointed out, you need to either revert back to full stock (no TWRP, root or any modifications), then update to the Dec 2017 firmware or flash the Dec 2017 firmware. As you're on AOSP, this would usually mean a data wipe as well, so back up your data.

Regardless, flashing the OTA updates (whether it be soak or the Nougat OTA updates) would update your bootloader from C1:07 to C1:13 (for Dec 2017), C180 for the Oreo soak or C1:14 for the Feb 2018 Nougat stock security patch. Be aware that the C180 and C1:14 bootloaders do not appear to be compatible with one another - if you flash the Oreo soak test, then you must either get all the Oreo soak test patches or use the Oreo fastboot ROM to be back on the official OTA update path. If you attempt to revert back to the December 2017 firmware after flashing the Oreo soak test and use the Feb 2018 Nougat OTA update, you may hard brick your device (as you'll have the C180 Oreo bootloader still on your device).
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Aerox912:
Thanks, i already tried it with TWRP and it failed obviously :) Back at AOSP now untill tomorrow when I'm installing the NPNS26.118-22-2-12 Retail to at least update my bootloader to C1:13 and then i'll see if i install the soak builds.

I don't really care about getting back at the official OTA path actually, i've haven't been getting them for almost a year now :p. If BL:C180 allows running custom roms like Experience or Lineage/AOSP I can live with waiting untill the official oreo fastboot package comes out.

Your recovery deleting has nothing to do with the Magisk unistaller. I have the same thing, it's the result of installing a full rom package through fastboot, that does not exactly match your handset or something similar. I don't know exactly why, but after "unbricking" if your flash TWRP through fastboot flash racovery twrp.img on bootloader C1:13 you get a bootloader response saying:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery Addison-Treble-recovery-3.2.1-0.img

(bootloader) slot-count: not found

(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found

(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found

(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'recovery' (14440 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.414s]

writing 'recovery'...

(bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt <-----------!!!!!

OKAY [ 0.266s]

finished. total time: 0.683s

After booting to the recovery once and installing anything it gets corrupted and the next time you boot to recovery the warning screen says ID= bad key instead of N/A. And after that you get command not found.

It is easily fixable if you flash a twrp through fastboot, then boot the recovery, and flash the twrp image again. After this it won't get removed anymore.

There's no such thing as a Magisk uninstaller that's removing the recovery. Just a corrupted recovery :)

Hello everyone. I'm on stock 7.1 now, reteu channel, tired of waiting for oreo. Can i update from soak to stable when it will be available? Update procedure is same as in topic?
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] tag68:
If you find some error in Soak which is really annoying for you and go back to Nougat, your device will change to an expensive multimedia player with IMEI 0. If you afterwards try to update via OTA or sideload again to Oreo, to get phone functionality back, it will change again, this time into a brick.

You did read and understand this and still do not want to wait, without being officially participating the soak test and getting support by Motorola? Are you sure?

ok, you mean 'get rid of soak' then? After flashing that you can update via OTA, but that is NOT the 8.0 update correct?
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] echo92:
To clarify, from the OTA updater script, this 1.12 GB update (Blur_Version.27.21.24.addison.retail.en.US) appears to be flashable to the Feb 2018 Nougat update of build NPNS26.118-22-2-17 or the Oreo update with build OPN27.76-12-22:

Package expects build thumbprint of 8.0.0/OPN27.76-12-22/24:user/release-keys or 7.1.1/NPNS26.118-22-2-17/21:user/release-keys

The update should bring your device up to the Oreo OPN27.76-12-22 build:

I think so - either through stock recovery or ADB sideload. Ensure you have one of the firmware versions as I mentioned above and that your device is clean (no TWRP, no root, no system modifications) and fully stock before attempting to flash.

I'm in Soak 4! I can not install the final version. Installation aborted (error 7). What would that be? How to solve?
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] echo92:
Is your build OPN27.76-12-22/24? Do you get any errors as well besides the error 7? Is your firmware clean (no magisk/root, no TWRP, no modifications, untouched system partition, stock OEM/kernel/recovery/modem/logo)?

You may have to wait for the Oreo fastboot firmware if you can not flash this OTA update.
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] carlosgeraldo:
yes I am in the 4 soak (including the Soak 4. ------ OPN27.76-12-22 is the same as the final version) it will be that who is in the soak 4 is the final version? Why not upgrade?
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] echo92:
The soak test 4 build appears to have the same build number as the official OTA update.

Does your stock recovery report anything else besides error 7 (e.g. does it complain about OEM or system, or anything with unexpected contents)? It's quite difficult to say otherwise what an error 7 could be, but may require a full clean flash of the stock firmware to resolve otherwise (preferably flashing the Oreo stock firmware, not the Nougat stock firmware). Also, is your stock recovery matching the same build as your soak test?
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] carlosgeraldo:
Yes, everything is fine I get aborted installation: error 7 /package.zip
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] echo92:
Hmm, that's odd. Usually before the error 7 there will be a few lines above where it'll mention what causes the error. Can you take a screenshot or photo of the flash log please? Is this via ADB sideload or directly using the stock recovery? If using ADB sideload, might be worth copying the OTA to your device's internal storage and booting to stock recovery, then flash the update via 'Apply Update via SD card'.

Without knowing more, you may have to wait for the Oreo fastboot stock ROM to clean flash your device, as there appears to be something on your device the update does not like.

[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] theforbidden:
Yes, apparently
[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] echo92:
From the included updater script for the OTA update, this OTA looks to be flashable on devices running the Oreo build 8.0.0/OPN27.76-12-22/24:user/release-keys which I think is the last soak test as well as the official OTA build:

Package expects build thumbprint of 8.0.0/OPN27.76-12-22/24:user/release-keys or 7.1.1/NPNS26.118-22-2-17/21:user/release-keys

But yes, it should update your device to the firmware of the same build. For peace of mind, it might be worth downloading and flashing the OTA update, just to ensure you're on the same build as everyone else. It shouldn't change anything and you should still have your data, though you'll at least know you're on the same build with all the changes/fixes rolled in. Up to you if you choose to update or not.

Also, see if you can view the zip contents in a zip file viewer, if you can open the zip (not extract the zip, just view the contents), then the zip may be okay. You should be able to see patch files and scripts inside the zip file.

Also, is your device completely stock and with no modifications (no TWRP, no root, clean system etc)? You may wish to try copying the OTA to your device's internal storage, booting to stock recovery and attempt to flash with the 'apply update via sdcard' option.

Hmm, if your device is fully stock and clean then the OTA updates should flash okay, seems it's either the stock recovery being used or the file or the transfer isn't working properly. I'd try the download again, if it doesn't work you may have to wait for the OTA to arrive to your device or wait for the fastboot Oreo stock ROM.

[Moto Z Play ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] echo92:
Ah, I missed that point about you being in the fourth soak, sorry. Yes, you would not likely get this OTA in that case, sorry for the confusion.

The fastboot stock ROM I mentioned requires flashing via fastboot/the bootloader, not flashable via recovery. You may have seen flashing guides with commands such as 'fastboot flash bootloader...', where you flash the complete stock files rather than the block patches provided by the OTA. However, to do this you would need the fastboot Oreo ROM to be leaked, and I've not seen it yet.

The official OTA update appears to be the same build as the 4th soak test, so in theory no, you may not get an OTA notification. However, you may wish to download and apply the official 1.12 GB OTA update anyway so you can be sure your device is on the same build as the official build and has the same fixes/changes. There should not be any changes (else the builds would be different) but with system firmware, best to be safe.
