He have a indian version athene and he is a saok tester so he's is on oreo. Public build is yet to be rolled out.

I am a soak test member
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
The update I received was a 50MB update so fair enough this is only meant for bug fixing. However I wasn't able to update even after Stock Recovery.Any Help?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ca_guri01:
Still on dec security patch

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
Were you able to install the update?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ca_guri01:
Yes
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
Via the twrp recovery only? And I also have root
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Thanks for the headsup and clarification - so it looks like as Aditya2512 has mentioned - soak test members are being updated to the latest build, possibly the final release build for general release. That's why I was asking, since the other posts appeared to not mention updating from Nougat, and also the updater screen being for Oreo.

I suspect that those who've flashed the Oreo soak test on XDA/other sites probably won't receive this update unless it's captured, and may have to wait for the OPJ28.111-22 stock ROM firmware to be released.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ca_guri01:
No, i got this via ota, i am soak test member, i searched for update manually and got this ota
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
Correct, as new updates are pushed configuring the device details and IMEI etc etc
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] alvintimothyjr:
Which variant? XT1644...?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Probably won't be able to flash this OTA via TWRP - you need stock recovery and no root and no system/OEM modifications. You'd likely would have to wait for a TWRP flashable of this build, unless you wanted to revert back to being fully stock.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
My Question is Do You Have Twrp And Root Installed, Even I am a soak test member but can I flash this while I have Twrp and root
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] aadityaraj1:
You have to be on stock recovery in order to successfully flash the stock ota you got.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ca_guri01:
Sorry for the misunderstanding, and no, i haven't rooted my phone.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] aadityaraj1:
Well this ota has been captured and can be flashed over last soak test build only.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
Link?

---------- Post added at 03:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 AM ----------

I shifted to the stock recovery, even after that I'm not able to flash the update
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] aadityaraj1:
You flashed the nougat version stock recovery?

If yes maybe that's the reason.

[Edited: rajat shared the link]
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] rajatgupta1998:
So there's this build rolling out recently. I found this from a fellow user on Telegram. Note: I haven't tested it. I guess it requires you to be on the soak test build available on the OP of this thread. Stock recovery is required. Again, I'm not sure, you might need to experiment. I don't have my phone at the moment.

PS: correct me if I'm wrong

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
I've just had a look at the build, and as mentioned above, it requires the previous OPJ28.111-12 build to update to OPJ28.111-22 (handily, OPJ28.111-12 is the build floating around on XDA):

Package expects build thumbprint of [B]8.1.0/OPJ28.111-22[/B]/532da:user/release-keys or [B]8.1.0/OPJ28.111-12[/B]/d36d:user/release-keys

This OTA update is 53.5 MB in size and looks to update system, OEM, boot, may update modem and GPT/bootloader. It also erases modemst1 and modemst2 which may be of issue to those with IMEI/EFS problems in the past.

I've not been able to test this either, though I imagine if you are on the above OPJ28.111-12 build, copying the update to your internal storage, then granting Motorola Updater storage permissions - as described in the first post - may let you update. Up to you if you choose to flash.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SinghD95:
Installation aborted

I'm on the soak test OPJ28.108(installation zip found on this thread) on G4 Plus (Indian version) with stock recovery(never rooted). I tried to install this which was unsuccessful(aborted) by the recovery.

It expects OPJ28.111-12

Please suggest a solution.

Edit - wrong OTA patch. My bad...
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Edduardoa:
Still no fastboot for the 111.12 rom? I'm stuck on 28.108 because of locked bootloader :(
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Unfortunately, no sign of a fastboot ROM at this moment in time. Probably expect it 1-2 months after the rollout of the Nougat to Oreo OTA update, which might be soon if the OPJ28.111-12 update is the final release build.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Nadji91:
I'm using a g4 non + and the soak for g4 + works well with me, I don't even see bugs of any sort
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] wuhi:
the build from this link includes OPJS8.111-12.

so it's not a new one??
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] aadityaraj1:
You are on first soak build so you can't apply the latest update you need to be on second last soak build

Any one facing sudden switch off problem below 30% battery while gaming, watching video on YouTube, or internet is on,

After become a soak tester for on 8.1 Oreo I am facing this problem, when I was in 7.0 nought my Moto g4 works fine & I didn't facing sudden switch off problem,

Anyone one noticed ??

Please help I am not using my phone when battery is below 30% , either I am note turn on data,

When I am not using phone when battery is below 30% , phones works good and it goes to 5/10 %
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] aadityaraj1:
You have to change the battery. That's a battery issue. As we all know batteries degrades as time passes. And there's turbo charger for the help too.??
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SnoopDoge:
this will escalate to the point you're afraid to use the phone, mine used to turn off at 5% (normal), but every once in a while this number started to increase, 15,25,35...etc, now, it can turn off at any point below 80% to the point if i even unlocked the screen, it just turns off immediately and won't turn on unless it's plugged in, now my phone is at 77% i will just connect it to the charger just to check on a message and then disconnect it again
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Kashyapsuthar:
But my phone sudden switch off at 25% & after I plugged to charger phones is charging starts to 25%,

It doesn't drain to 0%

I installed the update renaming the zip to "block_delta-Blur_Version.25.236.3-28.111-22.athene.retail.en.US.zip" and you need to be in the last soak test.

Downgrade to stock naugat latest build,(don't flash the bootloader,flash everything else). Update to the latest sock(with December update ) and then install the 53mb update.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SinghD95:
If I use 1-2 month of wait time logic from echo92, then we would have a fastboot rom for OPJ28.111.12 till now, which would have ultimately resolved the entire issue of upgrading it to OPJ28.111-22.

On the other hand, creator of this thread has clearly mentioned not to downgrade to naugat because it is very risky. Which means post from jobitjoseph1 is useless.

Requesting rajatgupta1998 to suggest a perfect solution.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SnoopDoge:
seems to me that downgrading is like a hit or miss procedure, not everyone getting the same results
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
With a locked bootloader, it is indeed very risky and shouldn't be done, because you would need to restore eps and stuff which is very risky with a locked bootloader.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
With a locked bootloader, you probably couldn't restore EFS (your device would generate it on boot), not to mention a downgrade would involve unlocking the bootloader. That would erase your device anyway.

Basically, I'd wait for the fastboot ROM to play it safe.

Can I flash this build via TWRP?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SnoopDoge:
i think you mean OPJ28.111-22?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
These stock ROM OTA updates are not TWRP flashable. They require stock firmware, stock recovery and no modifications including no root and no debloating.

If you want to update via TWRP, I'd keep an eye on the opening post for when a TWRP flashable of OPJ28.111-22 is available, which should also pop up on the TWRP flashable thread too https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3873367
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Crowx1:
What's these instruction for?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Those instructions appear to be for the TWRP flashable, which as mentioned above and in the edited opening post, is pending:

With regards to the 'and then the zip from post #671 after you have booted to the system once', I'm not sure if using the OTA update on a device with TWRP would work, since stock OTA updates typically require the stock recovery to update the GPT, bootloader and other usually non-modifiable partitions. You may be able to edit the OTA file to ignore the stock recovery check, but again, it might be worth waiting for the updated OPJ28.111-22 TWRP flashable to be released. You could then flash the TWRP flashable and not have to worry about OTA updates, which should also leave your GPT and bootloader unmodified.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
The link in the OP for .111-22 takes you to .111-12 build ?_?

Oh, I created the flashable zip days ago. I was the one who caught the ota file this time [emoji6]. One of the ones I should say.

I just haven't updated my thread for the latest update yet, but posted the zip on Telegram some days ago.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Confusingly, that's correct (at the moment) - the file named OTA_Package_OPJ28.111-12.zip is the OTA update file for updating OPJ28.111-12 (Dec 2018 security patch soak 1) to OPJ28.111-22 (Dec 2018 security patch soak 2). It's 53.5 MB in size and as mentioned here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78907901&postcount=672, requires the above firmware version to flash to. It won't flash to Nougat nor the Nov 2018 soak test.

pls guys, i need some help

im stuck at the old soak OPJ28.108 and i want so much update to the new soak, i've already tried adb sideload, stock recovery and i just can't update.

in adb sideload the update aways stop at 47% (I want to do a dirty flash) showing the error attached below, and i know what means, the problem is: the OPJ28.111-12 is the one im trying to flash.

i dont want to unlock the bootloader (but if is the only option, i will do it).

thanks
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
But this can't be flashed in twrp, any idea when to expect a twrp update?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
There is the option of waiting for the Oreo fastboot stock ROM, if you do not wish to unlock your bootloader (and get your device wiped in the process). However, that is dependent on whether the soak test is over - if so, then Motorola should be compiling the Oreo firmware and hopefully it'll be leaked by those with access to the Motorola firmware server. That process may take 1-2 months, maybe sooner or later. If that firmware is captured, then you'd be able to flash and update your device without unlocking your bootloader and possibly losing your data (but as always, you will want to back up before a firmware flash).

Otherwise, if you want to update now, the only way is to unlock your bootloader, which erases your device. Then either flash TWRP and the TWRP flashable mentioned above by Jleeblanch or (risky) downgrade to Nougat firmware and reapply the Dec 2018 soak tests.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
Someone A Few Pages Back, mentioned about going back to Nougat and Then flashing the new soak test. Do it at your own risk..

And if you can unlock the bootloader, that's gonna be very very easy and convenient

Yes, you can. You can dirty flash from Nougat to the latest Oreo build, you can dirty flash from the previous Oreo build to the new one. As always, if you encounter any issues, a clean flash is recommended [emoji6]

How can I relock the bootloader after flashing this version of oreo?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SnoopDoge:
Indian G4+ started rolling 8.1 from today 18th Feb and expected to finalize by 18th Mar, again, it's written as 9.0 by mistake
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
I'm not sure you can relock the bootloader until the fastboot Oreo stock firmware is released. If your bootloader is newer than version B1:07, the Nougat bootloader, (which may well be the case when the Oreo firmware was flashed), you'd need the firmware at least as new or newer than your bootloader version to relock, which could mean needing the Oreo firmware. Downgrading your firmware likely won't work as your bootloader typically resists downgrading.

Of course, using the TWRP flashable and not the stock soak test may mean your bootloader version hasn't been updated to Oreo, thus you might be okay if you didn't flash the stock soak test firmware.

I switch data connection off and wait some time then switch it on. Some time it works some time not. I put my mobile to aeroplane mode to work data connection again.

I suggest you wait for official release of 8.1 from Motorola. It should be available within a month*.

There are risk of updating via stock recovery as you can not flash nougat , it can cause a hard brick ( its a hit or miss , some people got it working)

If you really wanna try 8.1 go the TWRP way, all the things are explained in this thread.

Oreo is smooth and faster than nougat

But is it worth updating to oreo ?

My biggest concern is screen burn issue, which is in my device and it barely survives 5 seconds without any screen filter after which entire notification area gets badly burned. Will oreo's interface be an issue ? Or should I stick with Nougat until I switch my phone which I surely will this year.

Also how is the SOT in oreo ? Better then nougat ?
