[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Hmm, you could try sideloading the update or try this procedure to update https://xdaforums.com/moto-g5s-plus/how-to/stockoreo-rooted-users-upgrade-to-t3807835 Basically, you copy the OTA update to the top level of your internal storage, grant storage permissions to the Motorola update services and then the updater should detect the update.

A few things to note about this current Oreo OTA update (the one mentioned in https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77589322&postcount=225 and leaked from Brazil users)

1)Requires NPNS25.137-92-14 to install to - and updates your device to OPS28.85-13

Package expects build thumbprint of [B]8.1.0/OPS28.85-13[/B]/b8ea:user/release-keys or [B]7.0/NPNS25.137-92-14[/B]/16:user/release-keys

As such, this update will NOT flash to those devices on NPNS25.137-93-14 (i.e. EU, US and APAC devices) - you'd have to wait for that OTA to be released. It should flash onto Indian devices unless there's another India specific update. Flash at your own risk.

2) Appears to update boot (kernel), system, OEM, bootloader/GPT and may update modem, DSP. For those that have been having IMEI issues, this OTA does erase modemst1 and modemst2. I'm hoping though that the update to Oreo fixes your IMEI, but be aware. Also, until someone reports the bootloader version, please avoid downgrading to stock Nougat.

3)File size is 1.06 GB (1,138,853,525 bytes) and has md5 of d670257b822223c4dd19b9f0f637daac
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Phanox:
I updated my retla Potter phone with no issues but it doesn't fix the IMEI 0 issue. Time ago I used custom roms, then I downgraded to stock Nougat, getting the IMEI 0 in the process. I reverted to custom Oreo to get the EFS and flashed it to stock nougat to fix the problem. With that "custom" EFS I updated the phone to stock Oreo and got again that issue, now I have to fix it. Time to read the forums again.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] FabricioGS:
Mine ROM is stock retbr NPNS25.137-92-4. How do I update to NPNS25.137-92-14 if system says there's no update?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Igor.L:
You could flash it manually, however, you'll lose your data (including internal storage). First, if you don't already have it, you'll need to download the rom here https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/potter/official/RETAIL/ (you need POTTER_RETAIL_7.0_NPNS25.137-92-14....zip)

Then flash it using these instructions on step 7

Thanks for your time ;)
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mechabhay:
The version should be NPNS25.137-92-14
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
You'd have to wait for the EU, US or APAC compatible OTA to be released to be able to update your device - as others have mentioned, this OTA is currently only compatible with devices on NPNS25.137-92-14 (Brazil and India usually, possibly Latin America). Hopefully shouldn't be long til Motorola begins the deployment or someone captures the OTA.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
No. OTA doesn't care about bootloader state.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Scarecrow.:
According to them it's supposed to be...but Brazil and India combined only 3 people have received it so far..since the announcement I think....?..dunno what moto is playing at..probably hoping G6+ sells a little in India before rolling it out??

PS: check out the past few pages..there's a link to download the official Brazil OTA(that works for RETIN devices as well)

Even I have contacted Customer care of Motorola and as per them still soak test is not completed and official rollout of Oreo has not been started in India.

why are they so confused? Didn't they give out a post saying it was rolling out..lol?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mechabhay:
Thats the beauty of Lenovorola, there is no mapping between customer care and the developer team.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Seems to be, though they may be deploying the update in batches and per region at the moment, perhaps to check the update is flashing okay on general devices (not surprising given the OTA is 1GB and a major OS update. Even with soak testing, you have to be careful). Thus Brazil at the moment, may be India next.

Give it a little more time. If you really can't wait then you could flash the Brazil ota update. With any OTA update, you do not require a locked bootloader; just that your device is updated fully with the same firmware.

What kind of question is this? Do you think every owner of a Moto G 5+ is posting his update here?

If someone using XDA is receiving it he will probably post it, regardless if you're asking for it or not.

Wait until the OTA reaches your device or flash the available OTA or the TWRP flashable build but don't ask superfluous questions. No offense, just a reminder.

I just hope that Motorola releases a clear statement on their current status and put an end to all of this outrage.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
Wasn't there a clear statement? Roll out in India and Brazil? If you don't believe it there's nothing we can do if they lie about it. I'm happy with my 7.0 stock, best stock ROM I ever had. If/when Oreo hits my country I just hope it's as good as the 7.0 firmware.

And that's coming from someone who flashed the first custom ROM after 1 or 2 weeks after buying a device.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Venomous Viper 119:
Only Motorola Brazil said so, Motorola India never did. Motorola is slow at everything when it comes to India. Look at how late the Moto G6 Plus got released here. As a matter of fact, I'm very happy with 7.0 myself. But I want substratum, I want stock and that's exactly why I want the official Oreo update. The fact that the device is stuck on 7.0 ever since its release and that Moto didn't even think of updating it to 7.1.1 and also now that they're dragging this Oreo update as though they're reinventing something is a very disappointing thing. I can't believe that Moto at one time used to be an OEM that sometimes released Android updates to devices even before Google did. Now it's quite simply miserable.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
Agree. Motorola was one of the fastest OEM's when it came to updates. Since Lenovo owns them everything is very slow.

Btw, I'm using substratum on 7.0 (Swift Black on legacy mode). It's not perfect as settings and notifications stay white but it's better than nothing, most of my apps are black as I like it.

Would have been nice, if Moto had a dark/black mode implementet in Oreo.

My second thing is good sound, I've got Viper and Dolby Atmos running well on 7.0, I really hope I will get it working on Oreo too.

And if you think Moto is slow in India: The 8.1 update for Europe (where I live) hasn't been announced at all. Quote: " Other countries are pending"...
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Venomous Viper 119:
So you are rooted now?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
Yes, Magisk 16 with loopback bug module.

When a security patch comes in I flash back to stock via fastboot and take the OTA.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Rafiue_SRA:
Is this soak test Oreo or stable released?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Looks to be the stable release build - which is usually also the last soak test. If you've received and flashed the OTA whilst on stock Nougat 7.0, that stock Oreo build looks right.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Rafiue_SRA:
Install on stock 7.0 . Patience were over that's y installed Brazilian firmware. Can I get OTA updates?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
You should get OTA updates as the build is the same as that released OTA to Indian users https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77617726&postcount=271
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Rafiue_SRA:
If I install any 8.1 custom ROM or 9.0 arrow and revert back to stock Oreo., Is their any imei 0 and volte issue will occur?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
Brazil and India had the same firmware on nougat too so it's probable. As [MENTION=7346927]NZedPred[/MENTION] wrote it may be that Moto has stopped making different firmwares for different countries, that would be really nice because their system of naming them was quite confusing.

But I think we could only be sure when the first reteu/retus builds are rolling out.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
That would make sense, also as they're both common testing regions it'd make sense for them to be unified, so patches could be migrated more easily. I wouldn't be surprised if Motorola sends out the same build to EU/US regions, since previous major updates to the G4 and Z play have typically been the same build. We shall see :) if it is the same build, it'd reduce the chances of someone flashing the wrong firmware for their region.

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

Hmm, I'm not sure as some custom ROMs might still be dependent on stock nougat firmware (unless they've been updated). Your best bet would be to search or ask in the appropriate custom ROM forums or the IMEI repair thread . https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/how-to/fix-persist-resolve-imei0-explanation-t3825147

Alternatively, you could be one of the first to try... But ensure you've got all the required backups before trying.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
That chat is a little confusing to follow. However, it's possible that front line chat is not up to date as to the status of the Oreo rollout. We've seen the rollout appear in Brazil and starting to appear in India, however. The chat operator seems to be somewhat confused about rooting, since that is separate to manually updating. They are potentially correct that manually updating may lead you to not receive updates, depending on which update you flash to your device (you must flash an OTA update that is present on your software channel to receive updates). Currently, it seems the same OTA Oreo build is being deployed to India and Brazil, so may not apply for this patch.

I'm not entirely sure what the point of posting the chat about 'the lies that are being spread' to Twitter would achieve, as that probably won't speed up the process any quicker. It'll just likely inflame matters.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] BlackScout:
To be fair? No. Stability and performance is pretty much the same.

Pros:

It's Official.

Official Moto Camera works.

Cons:

You won't have Night Lights because Motorola did not implement (or rather removed) that feature.

It's 32 bit, meaning GCam mods don't work.

For the time being you will have to flash Nougat using NZedPred's Nougat TWRP Flashables if you want to install a Custom ROM (Like PExp). Blob incompatibility causes stuff not to work if you don't do so.
