I was getting trouble with the dual SIM issue. I updated to Oreo via TWRP backup. And only one sim was being recognized and at some time neither.

So I take out one sim and got no problems.

Yesterday I decided to get back to nougat because of this. Then when I was on TWRP about to do a factory reset and clean the sdcard I realized I have the Flashable zip downloaded so I decided to give it a try.

So I do a clean and flash it over. Now everything works perfect. Besides the known problems of flash and camera. But now the dual SIM slots are working normal. I don't know what difference it makes but it works :good:

This OS is working great on XT1622 except burn in screen. In RROS v6.2 I was using Kernel Adiutor to adjust screen color but now there is no option for that. Do you have any solution for how to fix this burn in screen?

L.E.: My phone is rooted with Magisk Manager.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] HeethJain21:
There is no option for changing colors as the stock kernel doesn't supports it. RR v6.2's default kernel supports changing screen colors

Try the flashable zip of oreo by jleeblanch
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Alejandro.ib1610:
Thanks to all the people who took the time to answered me. I already flashed the Zip, dual SIM works fine, everything seems to be ok except for the camera and the torch, it takes 4-5 seconds to open. It's too soon to know the real battery performance, but apparently it's a little better than Nougat.

Curiosly, the space ocuped by the system passed from 6.2 GB to 5.7 GB.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Vaughan3575:
Finally, I installed this Oreo Soak, its working great!

After installed the TWRP backup zip method, i had a bootloop screen, so I fixed it doing the Wipe cache/Dalvik. Dont know is thats correct, but now the phone is working without problems. Soak is fast, smooth, i really like it!! I came from rom Oreo RR, and I can say this soak is better, no problem at all. Thank you all!

We will be needing custom kernel for kernel auditor to work as the stock kernel doesn't support color control.

And it seems better to wait for kernel sources to be out of stock oreo by Motorola before making custom kernel for stock oreo
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] droidpleb:
I followed the unlocked bootloader method and successfully flashed the TWRP backup to my XT1622. Issue is, I'm experiencing signal problems too. At first I thought it was entirely broken as it seemed permanently disconnected from the network provider, but switching the network type from 4G to 3G manages to get a network connection. It's not stable however as every 30–60 seconds, the network drops entirely and then reconnects in another 5 or so seconds.

Is there anything I could do to solve this? Am I stuck now having to wait for a new Soak Test leak / official release leak? Would restoring the EFS backup help this?

Another issue: my internal storage just ran out of space, all 16 GBs. Not sure what's eaten 10 GB since installing it a few hours ago. Looking in the Settings at the Internal shared storage, it shows that System is using 14 GB.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the Torch takes 5 seconds to turn on too.

Thanks.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jleeblanch:
It appears that some users (but not all) are experiencing this issue when using the methods in the OP.

I recommend visiting this thread and trying the method described there before you attempt anything else.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] droidpleb:
I appreciate the response, Jleeblanch.

I have a few questions that I hope you could help answer:

This thread suggests to download "Lyu's TWRP". Is this really necessary? I would prefer to use a TWRP recovery from the official source. Will the official TWRP work to flash the ROM in the thread you link?

Also, are there any basic steps I should take to prepare before attempting to flash the ROM on your thread? My phone is running the Oreo Soak test build, with some Play Store apps loaded etc.

I really hope your thread can fix my issues,

Thanks!
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jleeblanch:
The reason [MENTION=7443804]Lyuu[/MENTION]'s TWRP is recommended in this thread is because it's able to backup the EFS partition which was recommended to do in the OP as well in case of any issues.

You should be able to use any TWRP recovery to flash the zip in my thread (I personally used [MENTION=325565]rajat[/MENTION]'s 64-bit TWRP). Also, you should be ok to dirty flash to keep your data. I was on stock nougat before flashing and my data was intact afterwards. However, if you're still experiencing issues, try a factory reset afterward but I think you'll be ok [emoji6]
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] droidpleb:
So I gave the dirty flash a shot and all my signal issues are gone: both 4G and 3G work as they should :D stable connection to the phone network!

The problem with the system partition being filled up entirely was (I assume) related to the the signal issues, i.e. modem: I managed to find the culprit directory: `/data/ss-ram-dumps/bp-dumps` (according to Google "error dump file for the modems"). All the signal issues must've been creating a ton of dumps, I'm guessing. Deleted all the datestamped dirs within using adb and things are looking well once again.

Do you have any idea if the official OTA update will be sent to these devices running the Soak Test? Or will I have to come back another day and grab the official leak once it's released and dirty flash again?

Thanks!

Just Wondering If I Could Flash Custom Kernels designed for Oreo 32 bit custom roms ?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Luis Infante:
No
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] HeethJain21:
Actually you can but it will break few things like wifi and some more.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jleeblanch:
It is highly recommended that you don't as it will most certainly have unintended consequences. Kernels built for stock ROMs versus kernels built for custom ROMs are quite different.

Most likely, if you attempt to flash a kernel that is meant for custom ROMs on a stock ROM, it won't even boot. And, if by chance it does actually boot you will have a lot of issues that aren't worth dealing with.

Stock based custom kernels will come after the kernel source for the official Oreo update(s) has been released. So, in the meantime just be patient. This is technically a "leaked" soak test and isn't supposed to be available to all users just yet.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] vivekcheroor:
Is it possible to do the same when my phone is currently running on a custom ROM?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jleeblanch:
Yes, but you'll wanna visit this thread in the ROM's & Kernels section.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] vivekcheroor:
I've come to test many custom roms and I finally returned back to stock nougat by referring to rajatguptas post on installing stock ROM.. so my phone runs on the above ROM.. so will there be any issue for me to install using twrp recovery?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jleeblanch:
No, no issue. Your best bet is to visit the thread I linked above your post for the other user as it's a thread in the ROM's & Kernels section with a TWRP flashable version of the Oreo soak test that is safe for everyone to use.

What kernel mod do I use? to install magisk
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
From what I've seen, for this soak test you do not require a custom kernel. It seems that flashing magisk via TWRP may be enough to get stable root on the soak Oreo build. I've not tested this, though others appear to report success - try at your own risk (and make sure you have a TWRP backup before trying). Besides, there appear to be no compatible custom kernels for the stock Oreo soak test as of writing this.

No need to flash custom kernel, directly install Magisk, it boot's up;)

There is a little trick. Uninstall Xposed completely, then choose the Xposed Framework, but the unity version. When the phone starts the first time, the message will be displayed in yellow warning that Xposed is installed, but not active. At that moment you must touch the 3 dots and restart the cell phone from the Xposed to give it root rights. Without superuser permissions causes the bootloop
