glad to see the ROM, but have one query.

No one have received invitation of soak test in India.. nor seen a single word of leak of soak invitation or OTA.

Then How come the Stock ROM is available for download.

Its not a doubt just a query only and Thanks for sharing.

Please see Jleeblanch's post on the previous page: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78263677&postcount=166

As to whether it'll work on a XT1643 without issue, you'll likely have to test this (should be straightforward - back up your existing system in TWRP, copy the backup off your device, then flash as directed in the post. Be aware as with any flash, you may have to factory reset to troubleshoot stability issues). The main issue I see may be to do with the SIMs - there are various reports suggesting non-JIO SIMs may fail to function in the secondary SIM slot (bear in mind this is NOT likely to do with the TWRP - seems that it's this soak test build OPJ28.108 that has this bug present). Your experience may vary.

Then....can i downgrade to nougat??

I mean if i flash the stock nougat rom from twrp ??

Please do reply fast as i wanted to go back to my stable stock nougat..

Thnx in adv hoping for fast reply
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
What are you trying to accomplish?

If you're trying to downgrade to Nougat using TWRP, one suggestion would be to unlock your bootloader, flash/boot TWRP then try to flash one of the TWRP stock firmware flashables, e.g. Revivor (Dec 2017 security patch https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-npjs25-93-14-4-deodexed-debloated-t3587180 ) or JX Black Coffee (April 2018 security patch) : https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-jx-s-schwarzer-kaffee-stockrom-t3825403 If someone is willing to provide a TWRP backup of a stock Nougat flashable, that may work too.

Since TWRP (and by extension TWRP flashables) does not touch your bootloader, hard bricking is less likely. Of course OTA updates do not function, and since your device was on stock Oreo, I'm concerned that switching between Nougat and Oreo stock firmware may create issues due to mixing the firmware (for example, possible loss of IMEI/SIM access if you're running a Nougat firmware with an Oreo baseband. You may have to check that your baseband downgrades too). Without trying this, I cannot say what will happen and thus cannot recommend this. You're going to have to experience this one first hand (and hopefully report back).
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gsr9411:
Ok thanks ...

But can you send me the link of flashable zip file of official stock nougat rom for xt1643 ... Please.. as i wanted to go back...to the previous stock nougat rom currently I'm using soak oreo rom ...and i updated the soak rom by ota thought my bootloader was locked !!! So please help me with this thing!!

Thanks a lot in adv .. hoping for fast response!!
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] raj_sxna:
I tested in xt1643 and everything working fine without any issue. I flashed latest sock TWRP zip file.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jleeblanch:
If you updated to the Oreo test by accepting and installing the ota, it was warned in the OP that you may NOT be able to downgrade.

I have also made TWRP Flashable zip of the latest nougat version (NPJS25.93-14-18) but have yet to upload that.

If I was you in your situation right now, I would unlock the bootloader, download the TWRP flashable zip I from the link I quoted above, download TWRP recovery from the OP. After unlocking the bootloader, flash TWRP via fastboot, then reboot to recovery and flash the TWRP Flashable Oreo zip and that should get you back to a working system.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gsr9411:
Okii thanks a lot... But by this method as u just mentioned ....how would i go back to my previous rom i mean to stock nougat couze.?? Please help as I'm new to these things!! Please....tell the full procedure of this method ... although i know how to unlocking the bootloader and flashing the twrp recovery ...but after that..u please tell the full procedure with the links...?

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] luis dambrowski:
I read everything I wrote about the test methods, via TWRP and with the bootloader locked.

Today I have an athene with IMEI = 0

if I do via twrp I know it will continue IMEI = 0.

but if I do it by method 2. with the bootloader locked, would it restore my IMEI? because I saw adb with the code .... getvar imei, the right IMEI appears.

Sorry for the bad English, hehe using the translator.

I wonder if it makes the phone Project Treble supported..
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
As mentioned here, it looks like the update does not provide Treble support https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78254325&postcount=95

Whilst disappointing, it's perhaps expected - a 2 year old device being re-configured to have a vendor partition may require appropriating an existing partition (e.g. the OEM partition) or a re-partition/re-format to make room for a new partition (as I understand it). The 2nd option would not be popular with non technology-familiar users who may not see the benefits of Project Treble. Add to that the engineering effort to convert an old device to Treble and that other devices - e.g. G5 Plus/G5S Plus don't appear to have formal Treble support either with their Oreo update, and I don't see a good case for formal Treble support (unfortunately). There are commendable efforts here though to get Treble-like support working :)

I am on oreo soak test. I flashed it using the TWRP method. Can I flash the official firmware zip file posted by Jleeblanch? Will it cause any problem
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] theone0987654321:
Simple answer: not it will not change the issue

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 PM ----------

Simple answer: not it will not change the issue. Your imei is saved in a special partition. Call EFS. So if you didn't back up maybe you have an issue. Any way you can try flashing.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Techguy777:

So as now soak test is being released we should have all drivers required for oreo and pie custom roms, right?

So after doing the upgrade via ota, for now there is no way to go back to stock 7.0?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] TiagobpBR:
I did through the upgrade method, I was unlocked BL, with custon rom, I went back to stock 7.0, I blocked the BL again, and did update. not the nothing I can do, for a downgrade to 7.0?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Vaughan3575:
Sorry but Im not sure what is the correct method :

My XT1641 is bootloader unlocked, installed custom rom Oreo Resurrection Remix v6.2.0 8.1.0_r46. TWRP 3.2.1 64-bit Recovery from that thread: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-resurrection-remix-v6-0-0-t3747735

Everything was Ok.

Now I want to move to this Oreo soak test update. So, please, how to procced using the Jleeblanch zip? My actual TWRP is ok or Lyuu one is a must? Also, no need of full wipe ? just install it from TWRP? I know the answer is somewhere in thread, i read all, but i just dont get it.

Thank you, and sorry.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] strongst:
It is very helpful to read the instructions before proceeding to install anything.

Now it is the same like the nougat soak test...
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] TiagobpBR:
yes I agree, I would avoid headaches, but unfortunately I followed a video that helped me through updating.

can you tell me if I can then unlock bootloader again in 8.1 to get root access again.

thank you
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Looks like you can root - from Jleeblanch's post here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78263677&postcount=166 you'd have to unlock the bootloader, then flash TWRP then root with magisk. I've not tried it so proceed carefully.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Techguy777:
Ok so I did some research on Xposed causing bootloops and it's something to do with Motorola kernel. It was a problem with Motorola g5 plus on Oreo to. They used elmentalx kernel I think based off stock or maybe not but anyway that fixed it. You can install

Xposed in magisk and install the xposed installer apk and do soft reboots it will work. If you do w full reboot it's bootloop time. Maybe one of these devs could modify the stock kernel for us Xposed guys. Great work getting the soak test out there.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] TiagobpBR:
Thanks, I will try to unlock the bootloader, would not have problems in unlocking with ROM stock 8.1?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
I haven't seen any issues about unlocking your bootloader under stock 8.1, your existing OEM unlock key should work if your device motherboard is the same when you requested the key. However, you may not be able to re-lock your bootloader until the Oreo stock ROM is released. That being said, you do not need a locked bootloader to receive/use OTA updates.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] TiagobpBR:
Thanks, I blocked the bootloader, because when I was trying to upgrade from 7.1 to 8.1 with unlocked bootloader, in the update process the device hung up and bricked the system. I was able to perform the 8.1 update only after I blocked the bootloader.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
I guess you mean 7.0 rather than 7.1? There is no stock Nougat firmware that was 7.1 for the G4/Plus. OTA updates also require a fully clean firmware that is of the same patch level, which a locked bootloader would enforce, and that might be why you couldn't update to 8.1 until you'd fully reflashed your device.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] TiagobpBR:
7.0 correct, plus patch 47mb security, in the update the device died, having to lock the bootloader, and pass again 7.0, and made upgrade to 8.1. that's how it happened.

but I will try to unlock the bl insert root, and stay with it until future update of this stock 8.1, if in case it is not possible downgrade. = /

although I'm enjoying 8.1, has been pretty stable here, just those camera bugs, and memory consumption that is a bit annoying.

thank you
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Bala.M:
but some YouTubers said ..they fixed it,if not then what's the solution?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jleeblanch:
Remember also, this is the first release of the Oreo soak test and the point is to test the basic features. Moto may still add in the other functions and features of Oreo as the soak test continues with future updates (no promises of course).

Realistically, Moto intended to count us out on getting Oreo at all. Point is, to see them making an effort to bring Oreo to this old device is awesome and will definitely help with custom ROM development (Oreo 8.1 and beyond).

One last thing to note, just because we're now seeing Oreo, this does NOT mean our device is now Treble compatible (meaning with this update brings the ability to flash GSI's, this is in fact NOT the case). OEM's are only required to make devices treble compatible if being shipped with Oreo 8.0+. As you all know, our device shipped with Marshmallow.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] DeadLover:
I have a dual sim version. XT1621

With twrp version breaks dual sim. Only one sim is working. (I believe because it stays with Nougat Baseband)

Battery I feel it last longer and maybe is as smooth as nougat besides the camera and torch issues.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Techguy777:
You think now or once they release the source codes we can have a developer take the codes and make them into a 64 bit stock ROM without all the bugs? Obviously it'll be once the official update is released but its possible right? Cause that would be great a stable 64 bit Oreo ROM is all I need pie is not really anything special just different recents menu.

Let me ask you do you guys use Windows with virtual box installed then live boot Linux from USB drive? Cause I'd take a shot a compiling a ROM or kernel but I don't known if the PC should be Linux only stock. Or if it can be a shot Windows with Linux

The Oreo (soak test and official when released) is all 32-bit, so it doesn't really effect 64-bit ROM progress all that much. We may be able to use bits and pieces tho. However, now that Oreo is in testing, we may be able to use the 32-bit blobs and create a fully functioning 32-bit build [emoji6]

Being that you used the TWRP backup, you should be ok to flash back to nougat. If you had taken a TWRP backup of stock nougat prior to restoring the Oreo backup, you should be able to just restore your previous backup.

If you use the zip I provided (flashable in TWRP) or the TWRP backup (provided in OP), then yes you can revert back to nougat if you so choose. Just take a backup before updating so you can easily restore.

If you have a locked bootloader and update by using the ota zip (also provided in OP), that will update your bootloader and partition table and you may not be able to downgrade to nougat.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Jleeblanch:
The reason the soak test doesn't pass is due to the build fingerprint not being official. When the official update is released, then there won't be any issues passing safetynet.

Another option, if passing safetynet is important to you (and your bootloader was unlocked) you can flash Magisk after flashing the TWRP zip and then install one of the Magisk modules that change the build fingerprint to an official one.
