Root directory for installing the soak test update is the top level of your internal storage. If you browse your device with a file explorer, like Amaze file explorer, tapping 'Storage' in the left menu should take you straight to the root directory - it should have folders like 'Alarms', 'Documents', 'Download', 'Movies' etc.

It's the same folder you see if you connect your device to your computer whilst your device is booted, then allow for file transfers on your device, then you'll see your internal storage appear. Open up the internal storage on your computer and you're at the root level.

Be aware this soak test requires the April 2018 Indian NPSS26.116-61-8 firmware and there's currently no update path if you flash this soak test. We do not have the remaining soak tests and we do not have the Oreo fastboot ROM. If you want to receive updates, you must downgrade or hope the Oreo fastboot ROM is leaked when the soak tests are done.

Just to be honest bro...... I wouldn't do it. I would stay with what you have. Its so much drama making sure something doesn't screw up in the process, you're better off waiting for the official or flashing a custom Oreo. In my opinion.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
What firmware do you have? As mentioned in the opening post, you must have NPSS26.116-61-8 (Indian firmware, April 2018 security patch) to flash this.

If you don't have that, I would second treyweez11's post in that you may be better served waiting for the official Oreo OTA. Whilst it may be fun and cool to have the newest patch on your device, you may have to consider that there might be bugs, and that you'll have no support if you flash this soak test from Motorola. Indeed, you may receive no OTA updates from Motorola unless you downgrade or wait for the Oreo fastboot ROM to be leaked.

[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
No, you must flash the Indian April 2018 NPSS26.116-61-8 firmware to use this soak test. You may have to clean flash the stock ROM and currently no one has been able to capture any of the newer soak tests, so there are no updates for this soak test at the moment.

I'd suggest waiting for the official Oreo OTA to arrive.

Hmm, the first Google Drive link is still working from the looks of things.

I do not know if this has any bugs, but be warned that flashing this will mean you get no updates unless you downgrade to Nougat or wait for the official Oreo fastboot ROM. This is a soak test, and as such you will only be able to flash soak test updates over this - the problem is that there are no soak test updates newer than this one that have been captured or leaked. Since you have to flash OTA updates sequentially, you may be better off waiting for the official Oreo OTA to be released.

I'm confused - do you mean you have a XML flash script for 8.1, or have you modified the OTA? Also, you can get the bootloader version by booting to fastboot. But if you wish to wait til you get home, fair enough.

[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Are you on the NPSS26.116-61-8 firmware? From your last post you mentioned being on the 64-8 firmware and if so, this soak test OTA won't flash on your device.

If you don't want to change firmwares (which may be tricky on a locked bootloader), you may wish to wait for the official Oreo OTA to be released for your region.

Yup, this soak test is only targeted towards Indian devices (or devices flashed with the April 2018 Indian firmware) - the OTA mentioned here is not an official OTA. Once the soak test is over, the official Oreo update should be deployed to your device.

If you don't want to flash the Indian firmware and possibly have to factory reset in the process, I'd wait for the Oreo official OTA update which should be along in 1-2 months if the soak test goes well.

Reboot device ...wait...again reboot tto bootloader ... Now enter

restore that efs backup

reboot to check if u got signal back

again reboot to bootloader ....to lock bootloader

That being said, what stock ROM firmware are you on? To flash this soak test you need to be on NPSS26.116-61-8. Also, be aware that you may not receive OTA updates as this file is currently not official (despite what the title may say).
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
You should be able to flash this zip file again via stock recovery or ADB sideload since the OTA updater script does permit you to flash over the Oreo soak test. However, if that doesn't work, you may have to send your device for service or await the Oreo stock firmware.

No, you need to be fully stock and on the NPSS26.116-61-8 Indian stock ROM to flash this - this means no TWRP, no root, no xposed or anything else that may modify stock firmware. Unlocked or locked bootloader status does not matter.

This is not an officially released Oreo stock update, despite what the title says. This is a soak test.

Hi, here is my question:

If I was on soak test and I was part of MFN, but I did a downgrade to nougat because the soak test was given me a problem with the WiFi and Playstore, if I install this soak test, will I have updates of the official soak test?, for example this is OPS28.49-2, will I get the update to OPS28.65-29?
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DexIdiotGT:
Does this void the guarantee?
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Unknown - though this is flashable on a locked bootloader, this is a soak test. As such, a service centre could argue you've flashed unauthorised firmware onto your device and refuse to service your device - especially if you're not part of the Motorola Feedback Network (MFN) and do not have your serial/IMEI logged as being part of the soak test.

Furthermore, flashing this may mean you get no more OTA updates, since the other soak tests have not been leaked and if you are not part of the MFN. Thus, you'd either have to downgrade (which would mean unlocking your bootloader and voiding the warranty), waiting for anyone to leak all of the soak tests (looking unlikely) or waiting for the Oreo fastboot ROM (possibly your best bet if you want to keep your warranty if you've flashed the soak test).

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

Hmm, not sure - since you mentioned you're part of the MFN, you should be getting updates direct from them rather than from XDA. I recall last time you got 2 soak test OTAs and tried to message the MFN team to no avail. I don't know if they're tracking what OTA has been issued to your device, so by downgrading I'm not sure if you'll get the OTA updates again - you might or might not.

Really, the best people to ask are the MFN team, since they're monitoring and controlling the tests. Also, did you report the Wi-Fi/Playstore issues as per the MFN test agreement?

No - you need to downgrade to the previous NPSS26.116-61-8 April 2018 security patch firmware.

There appear to be reports that the actual official Oreo OTA is being deployed (at the moment, in Brazil), so you may want to not flash this soak test. Flashing this soak test would mean you would likely receive no further stock updates unless you downgraded your device.
