I decided to do the update, I was 100% stock without modifying anything since I bought the phone, I was on NPJS25.93-14-18.

1. Download the update and put it on the internal storage, give permission to the motorola update app to the storage and search for updates, it found the update and installed normal;

2. Unlock the bootloader;

3. This is a personal preference of mine and I did a factory reset and I set up the phone;

4. Flash twrp, I downloaded the official one from their official page;

5. Flash the official magisk file;

6. Install magisk manager;

7. Clear data from play store and reboot;

8. To fix screen burn issue I downloaded this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.omegacentauri.red, recommendation from [MENTION=7129563]ashish.22[/MENTION], my values are for now 215,215,215;

For now I faced 3 soft reboots, so I uninstalled the app and installed again, after that its working fine.

Thanks to [MENTION=4795150]annoyingduck[/MENTION] I followed is steps, and to [MENTION=7129563]ashish.22[/MENTION] for the app.

Now I just have two questions, How to install adway and if there is another app that allows to change the RGB values, because this one ins't updated in a long time.

Hi, on december I installed the SOAK TEST 8.1 using TWRP on my MOTO G4 PLUS and it worked fine. Now I realized there is a new release a from a few days ago.

So I ask you: how can I install this latest release using TWRP on my MOTO G4 PLUS? I cant find anywhere the image file so I can flash using TWRP.

Should be able to dirty flash the TWRP flashable as per the initial post https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-oreo-8-1-0-soak-test-t3873367 but of course, back up your existing installation before attempting to dirty flash.

Which December build did you flash? There were 2 captured - OPJ28.111-12 (Dec 2018 patch soak test 1) and the later OPJ28.111-22 (Dec 2018 patch soak test 2/general release build).
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] batata004:
Thanks for helping :) I installed the file "TWRP-athene-8.1.0-OPJ28.111.12.zip" that I assume is the "OPJ28.111.12" version. So you are saying that the version "OPJ28.111-22" is the latest? Is this also the "stable" one that motorola is sending OTA to devices?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
As of writing, yes - OPJ28.111-22 is the latest Oreo build and appears to be the Oreo build that is being deployed via OTA to Nougat users.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] batata004:
[MENTION=7970352]echo92[/MENTION] NICE! I am really glad you helped me. Thanks a lot, I will install it right now!

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------

I succesfully installed the OPJ28.111-22 version using TWRP but something weird is going on. Everytime I turn on my phone it opens TWRP instead of the ROM. I have to manually hold TURN ON BUTTON + VOLUME DOWN to get to the options, then I choose START and the ROM starts fine.

Why is TWRP not starting my ROM by default and instead it's opening itself?

Can you please explain me why we have to clear data from Play Store and reboot?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
If you're using the TWRP flashable, your Play Store may detect your device as uncertified. This is likely due to having an unlocked bootloader (which trips Google's Safetynet if I recall). You would not be able to download/use some banking apps or games, for example, without certification.

To certify your device, you may have to flash magisk (for magisk hide) and then clear Play Store data. That way, on the next reboot, the Play Store would re-check your device and hopefully you'd have a certified device.

If your device bootloader is locked, your Play Store should be certified (but you do not want a locked bootloader for TWRP or any custom firmware).

The issue has been finally resolved. This was due to few files left back by Magisk after flashing the uninstaller.

Thanks to Didgeridoohan for pointing out the adb command (adb uninstall com.topjohnwu.magisk).

Just ran the above command to completely remove the Magisk, flashed 18.1 via TRWP, after boot up installed latest Magisk Manager and everything is stable now.

I'm on final stable build of oreo with bootloader locked but i want to root stock oreo, can i just unlock bootloader, install twrp and just flash magisk? I've heard that the final Oreo version does not need custom kernel to install root(At least i heard magisk don't need/Don't know about other methods) is this right? Just flash magisk and all good to go? Mount system R/W is needed in the process?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
1) Unlock Bootloader

2) Flash Twrp

3) Flash Magisk

4) Install Magisk Manager apk if it's nor pre installed after flashing magisk

Help

I have opj28.108 installed.

What steps to do in order to install latest version from this thread?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
There's no direct update patch since the OPJ28.108 OTA update to OPJ28.111-12 was never captured. Your options are to wait for the Oreo fastboot stock ROM, then flash to formally update. This is the safest option, but the stock ROM doesn't appear to be out yet.

Your other option is to unlock your bootloader, which would erase your device, then downgrade to stock Nougat (risky) then use the OTA updates to update to Oreo. Alternatively, flash TWRP and then the Oreo TWRP flashable.

So either wait or be willing to erase your device.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] tarsomagno:
Thanks, I think I'll wait, since I don't use much the camera and flashlight build 108 isn't bothering me a lot

So, once the stock and final build come I'll be able to flash using the stock fastboot?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Yup, that's the plan :) I think quite a few users with OPJ28.108, who were also caught out by the lack of an update, are waiting to do the same thing. Just have to patiently wait for the build to appear.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] tarsomagno:

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
I wrote a similar answer here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79000055&postcount=967 basically, wait for the Oreo stock ROM, or unlock your bootloader to flash the TWRP flashable or downgrade your firmware.

I update through OTA( non rooted,unlockboot loader) ,if this is happen only to me ,can I flash oreo stock zip file without TWRP and unlocked bootloader ???
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
I don't think that would make a change. You Can Sure Try.

Via Adb you will have to first flash Nougat Firmware and then flash oreo, you can remove the "erase command" when flashing Nougat so you don't lose your data and then update.

I have stock N7.0 Moto G4 XT1622 with locked bootloader, but my bootloader version is BL1.07 Can I flash this Oreo rom without using TWRP?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Yes, if you have the NPJS25.93-14-18 firmware on your device, you should be able to use the 900 MB update listed in the first post. Then copy the update to your internal storage, then go to settings>apps, tap the 3 dots in the top right. Show system apps then go to the Motorola updater services app to set storage permissions. Check for updates and you should get a prompt to update to OPJ28.111-22.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Radion_reteu:
I did it, and I got a prompt to update, but what about my bootloader version? It should be 1.06 or older mine is 1.07 I wouldn't like to brick my phone...
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
The bootloader version really only concerns those flashing from TWRP or custom ROMs as noted in the opening post. You've mentioned having a locked bootloader so your bootloader is B1.07 anyway. Furthermore, the bootloader version for NPJS25.93-14-18 is B1.07, so you're set to go.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
I would say it's possible but it's risky.

Maybe You Should Wait For a Official Fix By Motorola
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Recently installed from TWRP and it feels a lot smoother than stock 7.0! I wil try out battery now. I'm on XT1641 and it's flawless compared to any 8.1 ROM. Took 6 gigs of space for system. And really nice additions to moto app.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] H@r!$h:
You may or may not receive the official update if you are on soak test but you can update to official oreo when the oreo fastboot images gets released.

Don't downgrade to Nougat from Oreo, it will permanently brick your device because the current blank flash may not work on the updated bootloader and stuff
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] aman19991234:
I tried the TWRP method, when I flash the backup TWRP says no partition selectable. What should I do?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] @SP2:
Works for moto g4 also??
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Previous soak tests from Motorola have shown that there is no guarantee of getting the final version if you flash a soak test. Unless you're part of the soak test program, you won't receive updates from Motorola. Also, unless someone captures all the soak test updates in series, you are stuck on this build especially with a locked bootloader, unless you can find the stock Oreo fastboot ROM.

As mentioned in the above reply, your best bet would be to wait for the Oreo fastboot stock ROM to be leaked. That may happen once the soak test is over and the build is committed to general release (which might be 2-3 months away depending on the soak test progress)

Additionally, as noted elsewhere in the thread, I would also caution strongly against downgrading from Oreo to Nougat and using OTA updates (even though you'd have to unlock your bootloader to do so). It's likely our blankflash no longer functions on a stock Oreo bootloader (since the blankflash works on B1:06 and B1:07 bootloaders, but an Oreo bootloader may block the blankflash). We don't need any more paperweights if your device hard bricks from an OTA update.

If you're at all concerned by any of this, your best course of action may be to forget flashing this soak test and wait for the official Oreo OTA.

Previously with the Nougat builds, at least the Brazil, Indian and European/UK builds would be the same. We've not seen European builds yet, so I don't know if OPJ28.111-22 will be the same build.
