I just got the ota update for oreo on my g4 plus dual sim indian variant View attachment 4682255
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ca_guri01:
I also received this email yesterday
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] CMKdaGreatest:
Did you take the update? Capture the OTA, and share it with us before you take the OTA please
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] HeethJain21:
Did you install it, if not can you check the release notes. It does says "click here" in your image.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
I haven't received the update after the email though? Maybe im not on a stock kernel ?

---------- Post added at 06:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 AM ----------

This seems to be a newer version as the build number differs
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
Received the update, without any notification.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] k4k:
Please grab the logcat url and share here. Thanks
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
My logcat doesn't show the url, help me quick?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] HeethJain21:
is the ota still downloading??

use

adb logcat>OtaLog.log

This will save a file named "OtaLog" in your adb directory which will be in .log format

and share the log file. The devs can have a look at it.

Wait for about 5 minutes and then stop the logcat either by disconnecting the device or pressing "Ctrl + C" in the terminal/command prompt window

the link will only be seen in the logcat if the ota is still downloading
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
It shows access denied and yes the ota is still downloading.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] HeethJain21:
Did you authorized adb first??

Settings > Developer Options > Enable USB Debugging

Settings > Developer Options > Revoke USB Authorizations (or something similar/close to this)

Then again rerun the adb command and you will be asked to reauthorize the computer, accept it
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SnoopDoge:
wait wait wait... if you just received this email from Motorola to inform you that the test has started, then what was the update on 24th Nov is about? i thought the test started already in Nov
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
This is like a final build, i suppose, because the difference in build numbers

---------- Post added at 08:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 AM ----------

Yup, I just runned "adb logcat" so, it's there in cmd, i'll look for the url and then revert back
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] HeethJain21:
adb logcat will print log in cmd and it will be printed so fast that after scrolling a bit, the earlier log will be erased........

try:

adb logcat>logfile.log
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
Alright Wait, I haven't updated yet, i do this while i update

Update to OPJS8.111-12

moto has released a new soak test update of android oreo 8.1 for Moto G4 Plus. Keep in mind that this is a beta build (yet official) and once you update through methods like stock recovery update/adb sideload or from update engine itself using the Motorola Update Services, you can't downgrade to a previous version. The build number of this update is OPJS28.111-12 and has 1 December Security Patch and requires you to be on fully unmodified stock N build number NPJS25.93-14-18 (April 01 2018 Patch) .

The following bugs are present as of now, maybe more:

Some Moto-Actions are extremely slow:

• Swipe to shrink screen

• Chop for Flashlight

• Pick up to stop ringing

• Twist for camera

NOTE: Users who have updated to the previous soak test builds, PLEASE DO NOT attempt updating/downgrading your devices. It is risky and can cause loss of data and hard bricks. Please wait unless we find a fastboot firmware of that version or something newer.

Users who have unlocked their bootloader, TWRP Backup and the TWRP flashable builds will be made available soon.

Download:

block_delta-Blur_Version.25.236.3-28.11.13.athene.retail.en.US.zip

MD5: 819ab7f90872a3c2af391bb71db40066

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] TLastPrism:
It still a soak test? I thought it was a final build judging by an screenshot posted 1 page ago showing the update changelog :(
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SnoopDoge:
i believe this would be the second to last build, final build would probably rollout to testers in mid-late Jan, and we probably would receive the final build in early-mid Feb, idk tho, this is just speculations and expecting the worse
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
But this build seems more stable, compared to the last one. Like the camera opens in 3 seconds now. :D

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

I Tried all the actions, and now all these actions aren'tslow. There is just a little lag, which is very very low than the previous build, Go Ahead To Install It. No Worries :)

Another Update. The Rooting Method of directly flashing magisk, does not work with this rom, indicating more of a developed rom. I think this is the final build sent out to only the testers, as i signed up for it earlier.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SnoopDoge:
then here's hoping it would be by the end of this month, it's kinda embarrassing waiting for Oreo while other devices are well over past it and getting Pie instead

I want to install oreo so bad on my phone, the problem is the safetynet, without it i cant download Critical Ops from Playstore, and i can't install it outside playstote bc it only let you play if downloaded it from playstore... :( Well, back at waiting. :(

Can someone with the latest build tell me if AutoFill is present in this new build? As there's no autofill in the old one.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] TLastPrism:

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

Maybe you're not able to do this, as This build seems to be more of a final build, and you're on the oreo soak build, maybe, Not really sure
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] shekharendu:
If you installed the latest soak build then go to play store->settings. Then scroll to bottom. The is a "device certification" option. If it says "certified", then okay. If it says " decice not certified" then this build does not pass safetynet. ?

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

Oh! BTW, icons looks smaller. Am I seeing it right?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
As mentioned previously by rajatgupta1998, you need to have the unmodified Nougat stock NPJS25.93-14-18 to flash this newer soak test build. It simply won't flash over the previous soak build as required by the OTA updater script:

Package expects build thumbprint of 8.1.0/OPJ28.111-12/d36d:user/release-keys or 7.0/NPJS25.93-14-18/3:user/release-keys

This OTA update appears to affect OEM, system, boot (kernel), modem, GPT, bootloader, dsp and erase modemst1/modemst2.

If you have the previous soak test, the options I see to try to update are to attempt a downgrade to Nougat (risky), wait for the Oreo fastboot stock ROM to be leaked (safer) or unlock your bootloader if not unlocked and flash the TWRP flashables (safer).

I had installed previous soak update with locked bootloader. I updated from first soak test to the latest soak by following method:

First unlock your bootloader. Then flash 25 93 14 18 version nougat firmware except bootloader. Use lock bootloader commands while flashing nougat if you want to lock your bootloader. After flashing copy latest soak update to internal storage and give motorola update services storage permission. Then check update. It will detect the latest soak copied to internal soak. Then update it. Now you have successfully updated to latest soak.

I have Moto g4 plus xt 1643 Indian version. I have personally tested this method. It works.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
Two Default File Managers

The Nougat Easter Egg is still present

Autofill is missing

Volte stoped working- Airplane Mode Fixed It

People say it passes safetynet, mine doesn't, so can't confirm

Camera opens a lil slow, but can be used as a daily.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jack_04:
When the final version is released, will it be possible to update by placing the file in root folder of internal storage?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] shekharendu:
Dunno. May be our phone will catch the final official OTA. :confused:
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SnoopDoge:
the first two are not bugs, Files app replaces the Downloads manager and it's on every Motorola phone which got updated to Oreo, the Nougat easter egg is also available on Pixel phones, because it was a collective game of collecting cats, Google decided to keep it so people don't lose their collection, autofill is not missing, apparently some companies opted to not implement it in their releases, one of these is Motorola, it's also can't be found on some other devices which they got Oreo
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] HeethJain21:
DO NOT do this...............its risky. You said while flashing nougat you didn't flash bootloader, well you won't be able to even if u tried. Moreover, you downgraded and then tried updating via OTA. This can result in HARD BRICK. You were just lucky that nothing happened and there's no guarantee if it will work for others too.

I hope you edit this post so that there aren't any consequences of it :good:

Yes. That's why in another thread they uploaded a twrp flashable stock rom. Download it from there. You can then flash it without any problem. And back-up your data before proceeding (as it said to wipe your phone completely, otherwise you don't have to back-up ur phone). In my opinion, wait for stable official OTA update from Motorola. They already have tweeted about it. ?
