I had WiFi issues after a Cricket update, it had preset on to have it select what network to lock on to. Set it off and wifi issues went away. Why would they want that permission I don't know, but it sure messed up my phone.

I am also surprised
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] NZedPred:
We'll, in order to capture it they'd need to be rooted, and would therefore have had to have unlocked their bootloader. Would Motorola let someone into the soak test of their bootloader is unlocked?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] psychopac:
To answer your question, no, Moto wouldn't let an unlocked bootloader phone be a part of their Soak test.

IIRC, I saw a post on Facebook and I think on G+ as well to capture OTAs using ADB that didn't require root.

Here's the guide to capture OTA without root

Ah of course, I remember that now. I was thinking that someone would have to copy the file from their cache folder. So if someone does do it, I can do a TWRP flashable.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] acejavelin:
Incorrect... Back during the soak test for Marshmallow on the Moto G 2015 I was in the soak test, and had an unlocked bootloader since about a week after the device released. Moto doesn't really care if your unlocked or not for the soak test, you just must be purely stock.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] psychopac:
Oh, I had no idea that a phone with unlocked bootloader could be eligible for soak tests. Thanks for clearing it up.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] soumik27:
Well Retin G5 Plus is also receiving the soak test update,I am currently downloading :D

[IMG="1"]https://imgur.com/9Us030S[/IMG]

Will post more SS after I update the device, It is charging right now,apparently you cant update until your device is 40%+ charged.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Looking through the MFN list of conditions, they ask if your device is modified and if so, if you're willing to return to stock for soak testing. This may further imply that they don't mind if your bootloader is unlocked, just that your device is on stock in order to receive the test updates as mentioned by acejavelin. https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Forum-...or-the-Motorola-Feedback-Network/td-p/3064626

That being said, if you're rooted in an attempt to capture the future soak tests, that may leave you in a state where you cannot participate in the soak tests (since you'd have to unroot and/or re-flash the firmware to undo any modifications. That may mean downgrading and thus risking a brick if you try to re-apply the OTA update. I don't know if Motorola tracks what soak test you've been issued and thus may not issue earlier soak tests ). The other method of scanning the logcat for the URL may work, and as mentioned above means you don't have to root - we don't know if current root methods work on the Oreo soak test.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Can you please capture the OTA for Retin????
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] acejavelin:
Just a word of advice to anyone in the soak test... Enable Developer Options and then enable OEM Unlocking, but do NOT actually unlock the device with Motorola at this time.

If things go very bad, at least you have the option to unlock the device and attempt to recover. Enabling OEM Unlocking does not unlock the device, it only enables the ability to unlock. If you get in a position that the device will not boot, it may be impossible to recover without this enabled if the device soft bricks.

If everything goes well, you just turn it back off later... Just a word of advice from someone who has been through many soak tests.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
In addition to acejavelin's advice above, you flash soak tests at your own risk. We don't know what bugs are coming with these soak test builds, and they could range from minor annoyances to device bricking bugs. If you've flashed a soak test from XDA or another unofficial source, you won't have Motorola's help in getting your device fixed (I imagine they have your IMEI/serial, and can arrange a service repair if you're part of the Motorola Feedback Network). I understand the fun, excitement and need to have the latest update, just be aware that issues can arise with these soak tests. Please flash responsibly.

Furthermore, if you do flash the soak tests, and the soak test updates your bootloader, be very careful if you choose to revert back to stock Nougat. We've seen in the past that attempting to flash a Nougat OTA update onto an Oreo bootloader can lead to a hard brick, as happened with the Z Play (and we don't have a blankflash to resolve this). Recently, it seems that with the G5S Plus Oreo soak test, downgrading to Nougat and using Nougat OTA updates appears to be okay. I do not know if this would also apply to the G5 Plus, please be careful if you choose to downgrade from Oreo - the downgrade is not the cause, the flashing of OTA updates is what appears to lead to hard bricks.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] soumik27:
Umm, I updated my device, working good, no bugs noticed yet. I cant post screenshots (after 10 post limit).

Sorry I was so excited I forgot to capture OTA link :( , maybe someone else captures it soon :D
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yeah TWRP backup will be fine as well but if he unlocks bootloader then he might be in a problem as he will not get any more soak test OTAs and restoring back to nougat might brick his device. I suggest that we should wait for someone else to capture it but soumik can you at least capture next soak test OTAs I mean soak test 2,3,... If they come because we will not be able to go to official stock without those without taking any risks with our devices.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
That isn't new is it? If Motorola would release a 64bit OS a full wipe would be needed to update the 32bit 7.0 firmware. I don't think that it is an option for the "normal user" to wipe the device when an OTA comes in.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
If they're an actual soak tester and that's their actual MFN account, that's not smart to post on the regular forums saying you have the update - since on their Motorola forum profile they've likely got their IMEI/serial number and other identifying information. Thus, by revealing information that could be regarded to be confidential on Motorola's own forums, I wonder if they may be removed from the soak test program...

https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Forum-...or-the-Motorola-Feedback-Network/td-p/3064626

FYI... if you are an MFN member in a soak test, you CANNOT post in the normal forums on Moto/Lenovo's official site, you are blocked from posting in the public forums while you are a member of an active MFN test and you can only post in the group for that test.

So if that user is telling the truth, they are using a phantom account.

One of the rare devices where this change has been done was the Oukitel K6000 Pro and if you had to do the move from 32 to 64 bit a clean flash was needed:

Please don't double post. If someone has captured the OTA it will be posted here.

And don't forget that you're out of the standard Oreo update channel if you flash it, no matter if you're in MFN or not. If Motorola releases more than one soak update the only way to receive future OTA is to downgrade to 7.0. That will most probably hardbrick your device if you apply official Oreo.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] acejavelin:
This was just a survey looking for feedback on the camera app and your usage... nothing to do with an update or soak test to Oreo or testing a camera app... If you were asked to enter a beta or soak test, you would know it. Since the soak tests seem to be active already and you didn't get it, you won't now. Rumor has it the questionnaires for the soak test went out in June to invite MFN users to the tests. Also remember that only a small percentage of MFN users are ever chosen for a test, not everyone, and you must have shown activity in the official Lenovo forums.

You will just have to wait like the rest of us.

Must be problems with the initial soak test... An acquaintance of mine is in the soak test group, got another update at 5:30pm last night while having beers after work. I was sitting next to him in the pub and he had no option to select "I'm In" like a normal Moto update, he was just getting it without choice although it did want WiFi (which we had there). No info on size or what was changed/fixed. Took about 20 minutes to apply after download and he said the kernel build date was the same.

Seems odd to get an update after 5 days and on a Friday evening... Most Moto updates are release on Mondays around noon my time. Must have been something important but he said he saw no difference but that wasn't exactly our focus. :)

What does this mean? I don't know, maybe nothing... But in the back of my mind it means there is a problem and the general release of Oreo just got pushed back another week or so.

Could you let me know how to make OTA in zip file
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] psychopac:
I feel you mate but there's no use asking for OTA capture now. It's because the first OTA was like the full ROM with everything needed for a clean/fresh install and had a decent size of about a gig, the second OTA is not a full OTA but merely a delta/incremental update with only bug fixes and improvements and hence can't be used to upgrade from stock 7.0 to beta 8.1.

I've been asking people to capture OTA since the first test build was released but nobody captured it. It was after I found out that the second test build is just an incremental update and not a full ROM, I stopped caring about it as to upgrade to the soak test 8.1, you're gonna need the first OTA which I don't think is possible to get now.

All we can do now is wait till either the stable update rollout begins or Moto releases another full build if they mess something up serious and not to mention someone captures it.

Also, after reading a few guides on how to capture OTAs, I realized it's such a painless process and just needs ADB, no unlocked bootloader, root and that shizz. Just a working ADB connection and a command or two to take logcat.

But, being just test builds I hope Moto gets everything right and steers us clear from device damaging problems like bricks, bugs and what not.

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

All you have to do is set up ADB on your PC/laptop and connect your phone. Make sure an ADB connection has been established between your phone and PC, start the logcat and tap the update notification. Download a few megabytes of update IDK some 30-40MB or just download a bit of that update, stop/kill the ADB connection and check if the text file in which you captured the logcat contains some URLs to a file or search some keywords like "rdsecure", ".zip" and the likes and see if the URL found is actually for an OTA or not by opening that URL on your phone/PC and see if it starts downloading a zip file and see if the file size matches the size of the OTA your update notification in your phone told you about. If it matches, you got yourself an OTA, if not then look deepr into the logcat text file for other URLs.

PS: If I missed something, feel free to point it out.

Como receber atualização do Android 8 no meu moto G5 plus
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Mrkblo:
This is an english language forum, you seem new here so I am going to help you out this time.

Currently there is no possibility of getting stock 8.1 for your device if you are not part of the Motorola Feedback Network, and even if you are, it is not guaranteed you'll be invited to test the beta (I am part of the MFN and I wasn't invited). The OTA has not been captured by anyone, so if you're not willing to install a custom ROM you'll have to wait for the release of the stable build to the general public.

Por favor, tente escrever em inglês nesse fórum.

Atualmente, a única maneira de receber o 8.1 original no seu G5 plus é se você fizer parte do Motorola Feedback Network para testar as builds beta, e mesmo que você faça parte não é garantido que você será convidado para participar (eu faço, e não fui convidado). O arquivo de atualização não foi capturado por ninguém, então no momento a única maneira de você ter o 8.1 no seu telefone é se você instalar uma custom rom. Nós teremos que aguardar até que saia a versão final, e aí você deve receber a notificação no seu aparelho.
