Thank you Echo, I'll try with the ota updates first. I think its easyer.

Just a little afraid of the so called SIM card/network not recognizing anymore after the update that I found some people are having, but I'll try anyway and if doesnt work a hard reset will be done (and the I hope it will work again :crying:)

If you've never rooted or flashed custom ROMs, or messed about with your firmware (e.g. downgrading), I don't think you'll have issues with IMEI. My XT1642 on retgb (UK software channel) was updated by fastboot and I've retained IMEI and I get signal on 3 UK. I hope you have the same experience with your device :)

Friend, my mother has this same model (XT1626) but in Soak Test the sound of the media was extremely low after 1 second, be it music, video, etc. The sound of notifications and calls were normal. Could you tell me if this bug happens or has it already been fixed?

If you mean Google Play Store won't certify the device and your MagiskHide CTS profile is false, you can either wait for Play Store to catch up with the latest build (OPJ28.111-22-1) or install the MagiskHide Props Config module and use a fingerprint for the previous build (OPJ28.111-22).

Isn't Oreo update avaible officially in your device?

if not first unlock bootloader then download

[Stable][OTA]Oreo 8.1 Update [OPJ28.111-22]

Not this

[Stable][OTA]Oreo 8.1 Update [OPJ28.111-22-1]

Because I think there is more battery consumption on latest updated version OPJ28.111-22-1

But I recommend you to go back on Android 6.0.1 marshmallow for better performance and stability and all

I'm trying to install the OTA [build number OPJ28.111-22-1] to fix the audio issues. However, I get Error 7 when trying to install using either stock recovery or TWRP.

Currently, I'm on OPJ28.111-22, using stock ROM, kernel and Magisk as root solution. What can I do, ideally something that doesn't involve deleting all my data?

Thanks in advance for any answer.

Edit: Adding that I'm on an unlocked bootloader.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
You might be getting the error 7 from a modified (e.g. read write permissions) to your system partition or OEM or another partition that the OTA would check. Thus, the stock OTA requires both an unmodified device (bootloader status does not matter) and stock recovery. There are a few routes to try to update:

1)Use the full fastboot firmware to formally update - this will remove TWRP and magisk, and any modifications you made to your device, but should preserve your data. I would recommend backing up your device in TWRP and keeping the backup off your device until you are done.

a)Download the OPJ28.111-22-1 fastboot firmware from here: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138

b)Setup your computer and device as stated. Then flash using these fastboot instructions to update and not erasing your data (will also not lock your bootloader):

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

Then flash TWRP and magisk.

2) Try downloading and updating your device via TWRP using the TWRP flashable: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79748241&postcount=478 This approach will not fully update your device, it should bring the audio patches and will flash over your system, modem. It should keep your data, again, back up as necessary before flashing this TWRP flashable in TWRP (follow the instructions here https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-oreo-8-1-0-soak-test-t3873367 ). Then restore magisk if needed.

3)Using the OTA is possible, though you'd have to revert to fully stock OPJ28.111-22 using a similar procedure to step 1). Afterwards, you could apply the OTA, though the above steps 1 or 2 would be more straightforward than re-flashing the same stock firmware and then updating, especially now we have the updated stock firmware to work with anyway.

Hello, I just flashed it and it works flawless on non-plus G4.

Can Any Body Help me. My Moto G4 plus is on OPJ28.108 and now I can't update it to OPJ28.111-22-1. How can I do it?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] manjaroid:
A regular OTA update from Motorola should work if the phone hasn't been modified. If the update is stuck you could try forcing it by doing a factory reset.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
If you're on OPJ28.108 (one of the soak tests), you will have to update using the full fastboot image. We never captured the subsequent OTA from OPJ28.108 to OPJ28.111-12, so you cannot use OTA updates, especially since the soak test program is concluded.

If you want to update without possibly losing your data, try this:

Download the fastboot image from here: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138

Follow the procedure steps up to using the flashing commands if your computer/device are not yet set up for flashing fastboot images. When you get to the commands, use these commands instead (or edit a flashing script to match):

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

These commands should update your device but leave your data intact. However, you should be prepared to factory reset in case of instability, so ensure you have your files and information backed up. Furthermore, this procedure will formally update your GPT and bootloader. Should you downgrade to an earlier stock firmware after this, DO NOT use OTA updates. You may hard brick your device, if you do hard brick, there's a blankflash here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79714477&postcount=778 If you downgrade your stock firmware, only use fastboot images to update.

What is use of blur version mentioned in op
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
The Blur version file is the OTA update from Nougat (NPJS25.93-14-18) to Oreo. As mentioned in method 2, you will need to be using NPJS25.93-14-18 (April 2018 security patch) to use this OTA update to update and will formally update your GPT, bootloader and other core files to Oreo (so be careful when downgrading - you'll still have an Oreo bootloader even if you downgrade). I think the updater is looking for a file prefixed with Blur_version, however your experience may vary.

G4 XT1622 (reteu), 100% stock, bootloader locked from the factory. I installed OPJ28.111-22 and then OPJ28.111-22-1 with the default Motorola Update Service, so this should be as official as it gets.

However, Google Play still tells me that the device is "not certified", almost 4 months after the release of OPJ28.111-22-1. It was "certified" on OPJ28.111-22, which I installed a few weeks before -22-1 came out.

I'm having this problem on two phones, actually. Is this happening on every single phone with the final update? Did Lenovo forget to submit the -22-1 update to Google for certification?

I haven't tried doing a full reset yet, because I'm not confident that it's going to help. And I don't have any G4 Plus nearby to check if it also has this problem.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] samuel6827:
Anyone got any info on this ?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] manjaroid:
I think you're right. The problem is with Lenovo or Play Store being asleep at the wheel, and a reset probably won't help.

Ironically, root access will give you options for getting the phone certified. Or custom recovery such as TWRP will give you a way to edit build fingerprints in prop files. But if you want an unmodified phone with a locked bootloader, your only option is to stick with build OPJ28.111-22 until Google is up to speed on OPJ28.111-22-1.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
If you're using the OTA file (the file beginning with Blur_version...), the update should not erase your device in the process. However, you should have a backup (either online or backed up to a computer/SD card) of your essential files in case you have to factory reset. Bear in mind that to flash the OTA file you need NPJS25.93-14-18 (April 2018 security update) or OPJ28.111-22 to flash the file. If you have any other firmware version, you may wish to flash the stock firmware https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 . Flashing this stock firmware may erase your device, so please consult the thread before flashing.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] IonShoggart:
The moment you manually flashed another rom, it doesn't matter if it's official or stock or whatever your device becomes uncertified, Netflix does not allow uncertified devices to download their app from Playstore, however you can install the app using an apk, you can find a legit apk on apk mirror, tough it's a slightly older version of the app but still works fine.

The built-in Files app is an important component of Android's Storage Access Framework and an apk isn't what you need. The easiest and better way to get it back is to re-flash the ROM. Removing the Moto file manager app shouldn't be a problem but Files needs to stay.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] manjaroid:
All of this can be removed safely if the phone is rooted. Keep in mind you're not gaining space on /sdcard when apps are removed from /system. You could just disable unwanted system apps instead.

I wish Moto's FM radio app worked with the custom Pie ROM I'm using. IMO, there isn't a better radio app for this phone that's true FM. As long as you're on stock Android you can always reinstall it.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] UserEmu89:
I wonder why there will be no free space after removing them. Then I'd better disable them.

Some Motorola apps are available in playstore. After deleting system apps like Moto display, Moto actions, these apps don't work even after reinstalling from playstore.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] manjaroid:
Removing system apps will free space but not where you need it most. System apps are stored in the /system partition (among other partitions), and your data is stored in /sdcard (internal storage). There are valid reasons for removing system apps, and tight space is one reason in theory, but it's unusual for /system to get full despite its small size.

Disabling an app (aka 'freezing' it) removes its updates leaving only a stub file. You don't gain useful storage by disabling but it will reduce unnecessary processes, memory usage, etc., which tends to be very helpful. When an app is disabled its icon disappears from the app drawer as if it was removed.

On the other hand... for system apps and keyboard languages you know you'll never use, permanent removal is perfectly understandable.

G4 and G4 Plus use the same ROM. If you would rather use TWRP for flashing build OPJ28.111-22-1, go to the thread...

https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-twrp-flashable-stock-firmware-7-0-8-1-0.3873367/

...and search the build number. The first page links to OPJ28.111-22 but somewhere in that thread there's a link for the '22-1' build.

Just a FYI in case you plan to root with Magisk: When I was using OPJ28.111-22-1 Magisk Manager couldn't pass SafetyNet and the phone wouldn't certify with Play Store. To get around this I used the MagiskHide Props Config module to install the fingerprint for OPJ28.111-22. Even if MagiskHide and SafetyNet don't matter to you, there could be problems with Play Store unless the phone is certified. For example, in the near future Google Messages is supposed to stop working on devices not certified.

Edit: Just to clarify, rooted or not the '22-1' build won't certify with Play Store.
