Read the post right above yours, it describes what you have to do to go custom.

Rooting is almost the same as on Nougat, there's an actualized tutorial up here:

Lots of users reported on Fb group that they are getting oreo on g5s+ officially i.e. around 1.2gb of size.

A sigh of relief for them.......
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Fir3lordZuk0:
This is G5 plus thread man not G5S+

We don't bother about any other phone getting Oreo
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] dexter1123:
I think it's better to move to custom rom bcoz motorola will not give Pie to us. Also since official 8.1 is out (Brazil version) custom roms may have benefit from the same.

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

But I believe Oreo is faster than Nougat. (May b bcoz I forematted and re-installed all apps again)

Clean flash or a complete reset for stock is a duty when you change to a new OS.

Hi guys, does anyone know when will Oreo be available for reteu channel (European version). I keep searching for updates but nothing has come up.

I have a Motorola Moto G5 Plus XT1685 Italian one
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gothicVI:
What?

If there's no update especially not from Motorola how should anyone know? Asking such questions only encourages speculation and spread of false claims.

You are correct. Sort of. Born in Germany.. So that's is where I am from. I think its where I am located. Which is the UK.

Phone updated overnight. However.... I spotted that I have a different software channel, retin. I got a work colleague to buy in India.

But still... Great news... It's coming home. OREO 8.1 IS COMING HOME... :good:
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gothicVI:

So you're just getting the regular Indian rollout. I was wondering because there was no announcement for reteu which should also cover the UK.

What are you talking about?

What kind of speculation am making about? It's a simple question that you don't have to make a big deal about it if you don't know what to say about it. So Please don't jump on conclusions before you know it.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gothicVI:
I wasn't talking about you. In general such questions encourage people to start wild speculations so there's no point in asking if there's no information available.

Just read the thread. The roll out has started in India and Brazil.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DEVILzED:
^^ ya i know that bro....

i got the update but i feel like i doesn't have all oreo features...

so just wanted to know if anyone else got the update or not....
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Venomous Viper 119:
Send a screenshot of build number and kernel version please
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DEVILzED:
why you need build# & kernel version....?

i can share ss that i got oero....
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
Than make a screenshot of the "About phone" page in settings where build number and kernel version are noted. This info is needed to see which build of Oreo you have. Nothing secret.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] kachadgham:
build no and kernal is the same for last soak test and official ota i just received today
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] kachadgham:

---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ----------

Yes
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DEVILzED:
yes in india....

and i think it's a beta version....
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
What makes you say this might be a beta version? Typically, Motorola uses the last soak test as the official OTA build.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DEVILzED:
ok the build# is OPS28.85-13

and i think this version is for the sock test so i believe this is not the official oero update....

i have done some research and few people also saying it's a sock test update so basically moto is fooling us by giving this update....
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Hmm, this OPS28.85-13 update was the last of the soak tests as I understand, and it's common for Motorola to take the last soak test and release it as the update.

This update also flashes onto the retail NPNS25.137-92-14 June 2018 firmware; later soak tests would only flash onto devices running soak test firmware. Also, you'd have to be an active member of the soak test group to be receiving a soak test. If you were not part of the soak test group and only updated by OTA, that suggests that the OPS28.85-13 firmware is an actual update for general release. I don't see a reason for Motorola to be releasing soak test firmware generally - you could argue Motorola is just doing this to placate the frustrated users waiting for Oreo.

One observation that seems to come up is the presence of 'pre release' when looking at the kernel version. However, this looks likely to be associated with the GCC compiler used to build the software and not to do with the software itself.

Taken together, I think this OPS28.85-13 update is genuine, and users seem to be generally happy with the firmware. What is your evidence that this is still a soak test?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DEVILzED:
i haven't registered for the sock test but i still got the update and one ma friend also got the udpate so i think this is a smart move by Motorola ....

i have done some research and many of them saying this build version is for the sock test and i believe its true coz many of the feature are not working properly even the ss with three finger doesn't work properly....

i jsut advice you guys to not to update woth this build version coz the battery is also draining faster....

i believe they gonna release the official version after a monthe or two....
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] acejavelin:
FWIW, in the US the "soak test" is still going on... They just got Build Number OPS28.85-17 and a kernel dated Sept 12 earlier this week.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Ah, thanks for the information - I guess that means the US release is going to have to wait (possibly also the EU and APAC release?). Hopefully OPS28.85-17 is the last soak test build or near the last one.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] acejavelin:
Absolutely no idea... There has been ZERO feedback from Moto/Lenovo on this soak test and it has been going on since mid-June, this is like the 5th or 6th one with no information from Moto. I have been in lots of soak tests with Moto in the past, never seen one go three months before, especially with no information at all in the testers forum. Pretty sure they just forgot about the testers on this one.

Looking at https://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/search?query=release they released a new security patch update for Moto G5 (standard) for May 1st. I think we will only be getting Oreo by June, after the new security patch (IF G5+ gets the update, if not, we will get Oreo instead of SP)

Oh yes, how did they even get to the final stage of testing without anyone blowing it up on Reddit or somewhere else? I'm surprised. Either the Moto rep is giving a generic reply or we're in for a treat

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
It doesn't matter if you are on reteu or retin, it depends on the software version you were on.

Was it NPNS25.137-92-14 which is the firmware for India? Or was it NPNS25.137-93-14 which is for reteu/retus? Other users tried to update from 93-14 with no success. And the update scrict of the OTA file states that you have to be on NPNS25.137-92-14 as it's the OTA for India.

So on which firmware have you been?

I was on stock RETEU, so i suppose NPNS25.137-93-14. No way to check after updating..

Have been using my Moto G5+ on Oreo 8.1 for the whole weekend now and i can say i only see positives:

- i had the nasty 'camera not working' bug on android 7 that required me to close all open programs to get the camera working again. Have not seen that error since upgrading

- battery time is way higher then before. I used to get around 8-10 hours. Now its 16-18 hours

- performance is smooth.

- Moto Display has some nice feature upgrades like '3-finger-screenshot' and 'keep screen on when looking at it'.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jimisballjohn:
I am facing this issue for quite some time now. I've also had to deal with it on my former phone, Moto G 2014. I think that it has to do with Greenify. The only workaround afaic is to disable an app called Camera Optimisation, since I want to keep Greenify.
