Hello all, I currently have the stock 7.1.1 on my G5S+ Italian version.

Some days ago I received the notification for 8.1, accepted to download but then it stopped because the available space was less than 1.2 GB. I made immediately the space available, but now I can't find the update anymore!

In the system information my phone is declared already up to date.

Of course I already rebooted, but is there any other thing I can do?

So why did some US users get the 93-18 Nougat update (also August security patch) and users from Europe, GB and Asia Pacific get this 8.1 OTA (Btw, the OTA was leaked from retapac channel, not us) that needs 93-14 to be installed? Yeah, rhetoric question but there have to be at least two 8.1 updates in the future: One that needs 93-14 to update and one for 93-18.....

Hey!

fantastic job on the OTA's! Highly appreciate it.?.

Was just wondering if it's safe to update to the 28.85-17 OTA file using this link of yours(https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9sr0t1b93db829h/AAAXkrYGsEFHWMVi5bgw8Uvla?dl=0)

(I have stock Oreo 28.85-13, not rooted,bootloader locked,RETIN...will I be able to update to September patch by just placing the OTA file in the Internal storage?)

Thanks a lot!

I received the update notification early in the morning (reteu Greece), I ve just installed it. Touch pad seems a bit less responsive, as someone previous said. I have to wipe the phone before I come to my conclusions about 8.1. So far, I feel that 7.0 was 100% responsive and blazingly fast.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] NZedPred:
Yes it's probably safe to do so. One can only assume that all regions will eventually move on to exactly the same build at some stage (I thought it was going to be like that for 85-13, but that proved to be wrong).

+1 to this, i am on OPS28.85-13 retin and wish to upgrade to OPS28.85-17 , unlocked BL, twrp, don't wanna wipe whole phone again :(
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] NZedPred:
Did you give the Software Updater app storage permissions? There's another thread around that explains what to do.

Another possibility is that the files need to be renamed back to their original. To make things easier for people, I renamed the files as oldVersion_to_newVersion_originalFilename.zip, but I've never tested that.

So, if you've already given storage permissions correctly, try to rename the file from "OPS28.85-13_to_OPS28.85-17_OTA_Package_OPS28.85-13.zip" to "OTA_Package_OPS28.85-13.zip" and see if it works.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] spajdo:
I've got update today (Slovakia)
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Scarecrow.:
I've given the "Motorola Update Services" storage permission.

Renamed the file to "OTA_Package_OPS28.85-13.zip" as well as tried with "OTA_Package_OPS28.85-17.zip".

Tried updating from the security and location settings and the normal software update option.

Didn't work...?...

Any other solution?

Thanks!

Ps:I think the Oreo files are now similar for all regions? Or is it different...?If the September patch is for RETUS maybe that's why it's not working for RETIN..?just a thought..

Cheers:laugh:
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] bugmen:
You have to rename the zip as "Blur_Version.28.51.20.potter.retail.en.US.zip" in order to be recognized.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Rocketfin:

i used OPS28.85-13_to_OPS28.85-17_OTA_Package_OPS28.85-13.zip from your link. everything worked until i did factory reset on my phone. suddenly googlepay cannot be set up. while digging possible reason i found that my device is not certified in play store, which might be the reason for google pay not working. i tried to manualy register at https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/ with GSF number, but still uncertified. i tried to clear data and cache of google play, but still uncertified. i can use play store and all google apps as usual, even my banking app works, but cant be connected with google pay.

anyone with the same problem? any ideas how this could be fixed?

OTA finally dropped here in Spain (reteu model), I manually checked for updates expecting the usual "up to date" message and was surprised.

So far so good, but I'm hating the light on dark theme coming from the reverse in 7.0
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] NZedPred:
Just checking the obvious - have you rooted your phone, or is your bootloader unlocked? We did see some issues with this build in the TWRP flashable thread, but in those cases we are always unlocked and making modifications as well, which is mostly overcome by just using Magisk (an extra tweak is usually required).
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] PumaPerez:
nope. never unlocked or rooted. just used your captured OTA from nougat to OPS28.85-13 and now incremental update to -17.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] NZedPred:
That's quite a surprise you're getting that then. If others are experiencing the same issue, I'd suggest that people don't use it.

You may need to wait for a Fastboot zip of at least this version to get back on track.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jimisballjohn:
I hope that one day we will be able to receive an update on our Moto devices and after the update the phone will be as functional as it was before. I'll do a factory reset later and see if the problem is still there. Afterwards I'll post the results here.

What's the problem with Oreo? For going back to 7.0 (the Moto G5+ never had 7.1.) there are several threads. You'll have to fastboot flash a nougat ROM but be careful and read the instructions, downgrading is a risky thing.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jmindset:
Yeah 7.0 I mean. You're right not worth it to go back just for night mode and Moto handwave. I just downloaded an app for both of those things and I'm good now. Any idea why they removed the night mode from Oreo?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
That´s true. But in opposition to night mode the gestures for camera or flashlight should work, did you do a factory reset?

And no, nobody knows why Motorola decided to remove the night mode.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jmindset:
Flashlight and camera gestures work fine. Only Moto handwave doesn't work anymore. The app I had downloaded while using 7.0 for handwave says "not compatible" now... No biggie.

I don't think you can get any OTA updates with it, you'll have to flash a complete fastboot ROM.

Maybe you can get it with Lenovo Smart Assistant.

Otherwise you'll have to wait until a full 93-18 firmware is leaked.

Or you use a TWRP flashable Oreo build too.

Yesterday, I updated my G5 plus to stock 8.1 for retus (OPS28.85-17). Everything works fine.

However, I can't successfully root it with Magisk. I tried with both 17.1 and 17.3, which were working fine on stock 7.0. Magisk installation succeeds in TWRP, but the system does non boot up as it gets stuck on the "Lenovo" splash screen.

I had to restore the boot partition from a backup to get it to boot again.

To root fastboot installed TWRP from the computer ( though I was getting unsigned and Failed messages TWRP did install) and then installed Magisk from inside TWRP.
