[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
You can try to flash non-hlos.bin from specular xt1710-08 rom, then reflash via fastboot Oreo without those commands i have listened.

Firmware here: https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto Z2 Play/Stock/XT1710-08/

If it doesn't work, you can install twrp 64 bit, Lineage, save your efs, then flash via fastboot Oreo rom. Many users resolved like that.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] hander9:
Than you so much Antonio, I will try it. One dude, should I just use the "fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin" command, or should I use more commands?

Thanks

Shiuuu. Successful. I managed to recover the signal, but now the track does not work. I guess I'll have to reinstall Oreo avoiding the commands you told me.

I invite guys for reading well what's in first post, there's a link to a blog and some instructions based on personal experience.

Hope it is clear.

Following your report here, device is adb connected propertly, but you are using a script that based on mfastboot commands. Be sure that you have exectly a mfastboot.exe in your installation folder with firmware. Basicly we use fastboot.exe

Everything is in correct order of my tryings to resolve my problems ;) I know that it does not looks very well, but maybe somone will find this helpful ;) Thanks, as far as now it works and looks ok!

There is a one big problem with almost all instructions about flashing android phones - almost always information about drivers which need to be downloaded is missing, you only need to "have drivers installed and configured", but you need to find them on your own, which is not as easy as it can be.

Instruction from first post is clear, anybody can handle this. But.. your fastboot drivers need to be installed earlier :P

Yeah, I saw this to. Thats why I process with manual commands. And it works well to. Little longer and you need to look closly what command you actually pasting or writing to console, but despite that the process is very easy.

And now I ve got clear, fresh Oreo without anyoing addons from my carrier operator. Thanks guys!
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
Drivers are on the blog motozbrasil linked (Motorola Drivers).

About adb drivers, they are not always needed, so if you have issues with that there are many threads here about universal adb drivers and Google search still works.

If it is necessary, i repeat this 3d is not a guide, so who want to use reported file is welcome, but he has to know at least the basics.

Attached files: the one for Windows must be used with mfastboot because it is adviced, the one for linux instead with fastboot.

No one prevent you to use fastboot on Windows, but in this case you have two choices: or don't use attached .bat (it follows steps indicated from Junior Passos on his blog) or you can edit it and delete "m" from every single command.

I didn't think these explanation were useful.

I am on XT -01 canadian, and it works, only thing is, when I try to flash any sort of root, I get stuck at the unlocked bootloader warning screen, to fix it, I just fastboot flash boot boot.img again, but still left without root, any suggestions?
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fabio Feher:
Can I root using 7.1 Magisk zip?
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mark2014:
Yes, you can.

Follow steps:

1 - Backup System and Boot through TWRP

2 - Restore them back to your z2p, repeat, restore them. If you don't do it, your phone will bootloop while flash magisk.

3 - Flash magisk.

That is small trick to root z2p on Oreo

[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fabio Feher:
It work for me:

1: Reboot into Bootloader

2: ADB Flash TWRP

3: Start Recovery (TWRP)

4: Enter in ADVANCED > TERMINAL

5: Run commands:

echo KEEPVERITY=true>>/data/.magisk

echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true>>/data/.magisk

6: Flash Magisk

7: Reboot.

Someone faced the same problem?
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
No one, it seems a bug related to non-hlos bin. Maybe you should wipe all, if you haven't after passing to Oreo.

Worked for a Mexican Z2 Play XT1710-06

Just here to report the success of flashing this rom to a stock phone version XT1710-06 with Mexican AT&T.

For my case flashing everything worked, as skipping the modems and fgs files prevented the fingerprint sensor from working (It looked in the menus like it never existed, no options whatsoever). IMEI, FP sensor, phone signal and WIFI signal all seem to work normally. Thanks!

Original State:

Variant: XT1710-06

Build: NPSS16.118-19-14

Security Patch: Nov 1, 2017

Software Channel: attmx

Hello, I've got an XT1710-08 device and facing problems with my fingerprint sensor. I can't get it working. Tried already to flash ROM few times with no luck - it just don't work. Unfortunately, I flashed fsg.mbn file at first time. Tried to replace this file with stock nougat version, but still no luck. Can anyone help me on this case?

Try to install Lineage, than backup your efs, and see the thread about pass from Lineage to Stock.

Ok, will try to do that. By the way, before flashing this ROM (being on stock China nougat), I made backup of EFS, system, OEM etc. partitions using TWRP. Could that helps somehow?
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
Have you tried to restore efs?
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] chrootin:

[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] chrootin:
Hello again. Got to bring some good news!

Tried to restore EFS partition, unfortunately, didn't work at all - fp sensor was still dead. So, after a while, I decided to restore WHOLE backup of stock nougat. Suprisingly, passed without any problems and I had again fully-working stock Nougat with fp sensor working of course. Then done whole wipe and format and apply Oreo ROM files via fastboot, but not everything - skipped flashing fsg.mbn and erasing modemst1 + modemst2. Then did full wipe and format again. Now I'm using Oreo ROM with fp working and without mobile data troubles!

Thanks a lot. ;)

By the way, this ROM is not able to receive OTA updates, right?
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
It's not rom, you won't receive ota update because of unlocked bootloader, otherwise you got it

Update to Oreo in Indian XT-1710-10 model possible

Can somebody with the Indian Model "XT-1710-10" of "Moto Z2 Play", please answer my following questions:-

1. Are you able to successfully update to Oreo using the FastBoot ROMFile of "OPS27.76-12-25" ?

2. What is the exact file name of this ROM file?

3. Can somebody share the "Checksum-Hash", MD5 or SHA, of this ROM file for me to verify DataIntegrity?

4. OPS27.76-12-25 is reported to be for Brazil model. Is it really working for the Indian Model (XT-1710-10 ) also?

5. When my current version is Nougat 7.1.1, Is there any pre-requisite that my Security Patch level has to be so & so month-version itself, so as to update it to Oreo?

thanks....

Regarding Commands ...?

Do i need to put every command separately one by one or just copy all commands and paste onto terminal and press enter
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
You can use commands one by one or Copy all in a Word text and then rename with .bat extension, so you can double click it and go.

Some clarifications on Oreo Update in 1st post

Hi HTCDevil,

1. Can u please clarify, what "instalador" means in your post (1st post) above.

a. Is it the "install.bat" file, inside the attached "Install.zip" ?

b. If not from where can I get this file?

I have downloaded all links in your 1st post and could not yet find any file named: "instalador" anywhere in your post. Also "motozbrasil" site is unreadable (not working!)

2. Is there any pre-requiste (conditions) on phone software before using this fastbootROM update process?

I mean, that whether

a) Phone should be in UnLocked/ Not UnLocked condition?

b) Phone should not be rooted?

c) Phone previous software (Nougat 7.1.1) should be at a specific Security patch level?

(NPSS26.118-19 -4, 6, 11, 14, 18, 22 etc)

3. After complete updating to Oreo by the above method, what is the final status of BootLoader?

Is it in "Locked" or "UnLocked" condition?

Thanks...
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
Glad to know it works for you :)
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
Due to motozbrasil site down on link posted, i linked new adb fastboot and Installer. As soon as possibile i will change and upload installers attached.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
1. Instalador is a file present on motozbrasil, now is down so i linked new adb fastboot folder with z.bat (aka installer, instalador, etc. It is a list of commands you can put in terminal one by one too).

2. No pre-requisites required with fastboot, except rooted devices, i have observed that you have to format from recovery in some cases, but not all.

3. Bootloader remains in the same state you leave it. If it was locked it remains locked.

[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] bhishmar:
BootLoader need not be unlocked to apply Oreo-8.0 update (FastBoot-ROM)?

Both the above reply means that, the device BootLoader need not be unlocked, to apply this update process (Oreo-8.0 fastboot-rom update).

Am I Correct?

I am only confused because, in some other posts in this forum, it is said that, Nougat 7.1.1 Stock-ROM need to be first written to phone, before the above Oreo-8.0 update!

If that is the case then surely BootLoader needs to be unlocked!

Please clarify this.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] HTCDevil:
It works with bootloader locked or unlocked.

Oreo update via sideload requires Nougat for first. You should read better.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] bhishmar:
Thanks for both your above replies.

And, Yes I have read it, & guessed it so.

But I wanted it explicitly spelt out by somebody with more experience here, contrasting the pre-requisites of both methods (OTA vs fastboot-ROM).

Because working on guesses, can land u in great troubles, as you may know.;)
