No, this Oreo update is the first of the soak test updates. None of the others have been captured and you'd have to be part of the soak test to receive the rest.

I would suggest waiting for the actual official OTA to arrive rather than flashing this; you'd have to downgrade or wait for the official Oreo fastboot ROM otherwise.

Regarding OTA update

I am g5 plus user. I updated the pre-release version through this method so will I be getting future security patches. I did'nt flash it.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Which update have you got, if it's OPS28.85-13 for the G5 plus you should be okay. The pre-release may just mean the compiler used to build the kernel.

This forum is for the G5S plus (Sanders), whereas this Oreo soak test is stuck on OPS28.49-2.

How can i get soak update? I m on june security patch
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
If you flashed this soak test and you are not part of the MFN, you won't get any soak test updates. Motorola only gave updated to those members who were selected for this particular soak test. You'd either have to hope the Oreo fastboot ROM is leaked (possible), or hope that someone has captured the other soak tests (unlikely), or downgrade from the Oreo soak test.

Try placing the file in internal storage cause I don't think motorola update services can search sd card... And give storage permissions to motorola update services. Btw, no your data won't be erased...

Good luck...
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Stud12376:

Can anyone who is on this soak test rom,confirm that there is no notification from motorola update services when this stable rom is placed in root of internal storage? Cause then i consider updating through recovery.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
If you've flashed the Oreo soak test from this thread (OPS28.49-2), the official OTA will not flash on your device either through recovery or through the updater. The Indian OTA update requires NPSS26.116-61-11 (June 2018 security patch) or the Oreo build OPS28.65-36 as pulled from the update script:

Package expects build thumbprint of 8.1.0/OPS28.65-36/9fea:user/release-keys or 7.1.1/NPSS26.116-61-11/18:user/release-keys;

If you have neither build, the Indian OTA won't flash. You will either have to downgrade to nougat or wait for the Oreo fastboot ROM to be leaked.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Stud12376:
This rom can be flashed through fastboot also,can i do that?
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
You'd have to wait for the Oreo fastboot stock ROM to be leaked in that case. This Oreo OTA is a update patch and this won't contain many of the files required for fastboot.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smaranballa:
But my firmware is NPSS26.116-61-11, am i able to install this ota
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
As I posted in the quote you added, no. The OTA checks your build version and if it's not the correct one it just won't flash.

You'll want to wait for the official OTA to be leaked to your device, or try downloading the OTA from here https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=282606 (credit to: https://www.androidsage. com/2018/09/18/download-official-moto-g5s-plus-android-8-1-oreo-update/

That OTA from AndroidFilehost will only flash on NPSS26.116-61-11 - I have not verified the source, so it's your responsibility to check.

[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Likely you do not require unlocked bootloader. Should flash over soak test, but back up first
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Saadatrm:
How can I backup if I have a locked bootloader...
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
By backup, I refer to Google drive or other online sync solutions, or copy your important files (e.g photos, video) from your internal storage to your computer/SD card. Of course, with a locked bootloader, you won't be able to use TWRP so your app data may not be backed up, but at least your important files are copied elsewhere. A fastboot flash should go okay, however you need to be ready to factory reset, should your device become unstable, if you did not use the fastboot erase userdata command to keep your data.

is this the fastboot file or ota?and why is it android 8.0 not 8.1?
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
That should be the fastboot file - I'm not sure why it's labelled at 8.0, given that OPS28 indicates Android 8.1 (8.0 would be OPS27).

As usual, flash via the bootloader and back up your data before proceeding. You may be able to re-lock your bootloader with this file. I cannot verify the source of this, so flash at your own risk as usual. Also, this build is currently the same as the Indian and Brazilian release - I do not know if this will be the build released to EU/US or other regions.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] diegomartinezlovey:

[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Be aware that unless you have an Indian or Brazilian device, these Oreo OTA updates available will not work on your device. You'd have to wait for the OTA to arrive from Motorola or flash the fastboot stock ROM as mentioned on the previous couple of pages

To install updates like these, you copy them to the top level of your internal storage. If you open your device in a file manager like Amaze, tapping on storage should take you to a directory with folders like Alarms, Documents, Download etc. This directory is where you'd copy the OTA file. See the included screenshot.

You've got Motorola update services already on your device... No need to download it. It's under Settings>Apps, then tap the 3 dots in the top right corner of the screen. Select Show system apps, then navigate to update services (not sure of its French name).
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] astroboye:

[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Did you give storage permissions to the Motorola updater? I'm not sure what you mean by 'affect of 1.16 GB'?
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Amankhot11:
Yup i gave permission! Actually the file size was 1.18gb but after downloading it is just showing 1.16gb
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:

Else, I'm struggling to think of what else to do, as you're on NPSS26.116-61-8 (hopefully not modified at all, no TWRP, and you've mentioned no root), the file was copied to the top level of your internal storage (so in the same folder as Alarms, Download, Movies etc) and you've given storage permissions to the Motorola updater system app...?

This method should work if you have the full Indian April 2018 firmware flashed onto your device. However, if you flash this, you may not get updates. Unless this build and the eventual official OTA are the same, you'll be stuck on this soak test unless you can find the other soak tests. So far, we've not seen any more soak tests so you may be lucky and get updates, you may not be lucky.

[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Hrm, I've seen a few reports about not being able to install this soak test update.

Just to doublecheck - you've downloaded the soak test update, copied it to your internal storage (same folder level as the Download, Documents, Music etc folder), and checked it's 1.15 GB with an md5 checksum of 0a9f1a670cc5c27ae0b281dbfc2483dd? Also, double check you have plenty of space as it appears the Motorola updater needs to copy the OTA file to its data folder (so you'd need actually about 3-4 GB spare). You've also opened up Settings>Apps>Show system and enabled storage permissions on Motorola Update Services?

If that all is true, you could try adb sideloading the update (though I've not tried it) https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76822114&postcount=2

this

4gb free space in internal storage
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Thanks for that - you may wish to try adb sideloading the update as I linked above, see if that works. I don't see anything out of the ordinary with your build and looks like you've got enough space for the update services app to copy the OTA over.

Alternatively, you could wait for the official non-soak OTA to be deployed.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] shahid221:
So, it was real easy downloaded the .zip

Moved it to internal storage.

Then gave Permission to moto Updater.

And then as i checked for update it was shown at once.

It took little longer to update.

Now the phone feels fresh and new.

At first glance, RAM management looks pretty good than 7.1, but battery consumption looks like has increased. Everything else like user experience and UI is good.

Hi, if I use this OTA (US file) after that, shall I receive Moto official OTA ???
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
If you flash this soak test OTA, there's no guarantee you'll get OTA updates. If you flash this, you won't get official OTA updates (you're now on the soak test OTA path) unless the soak test ends and OPS28.49-2 is the official OTA general release update. If that happens, then your soak test build is the same as the general release build and so you should be back to receiving OTA updates (as long as your firmware is fully stock).

However, if Motorola provides another soak test update to its testers, you won't receive it unless you're part of the Motorola feedback network. Thus, you'll be stuck on this soak test (and will not likely receive official patches) unless you can find all the remaining soak test patches to get you back to the official update path or hope the official Oreo OTA or stock ROM is captured.

We don't know if Motorola will release another soak test patch or release this soak test, it's a risk you have to take on flashing this and it's your responsibility to find any remaining patches if they do arrive (to be fair, for flashing many things on XDA, you have to be responsible and be prepared to fix your own problems). Despite the name having retail.en.us, the update appears not to be solely for the US. However, you will need the Indian April 2018 firmware to try to flash this.
