[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SupaJ:
In your opening post, I note the requirement of a stock ROM. I am not on Stock ROM however. I have tried several custom OREO ROMS in the past and currently I am running Resurrection Remix 6. I would like to try the OREO soak test but never made a backup of my persist when I was on the original Nougat ROM.

I ran the commands in the OP and these are my results below. Is my persist still intact? Will it work if I flash STOCK OREO? Thanks.
