I'm surprised you don't remember what TWRP or magisk you're flashing to your device.

You could flash the TWRP flashables from the first link - you won't hard brick that way. I'd flash the OPJ28.111-22 TWRP flashable. You won't be able to re-lock your bootloader but you do not have to flash the stock firmware from the second link before. Flash the TWRP flashable via TWRP.

If you choose to not lock your bootloader, Play store security won't work. You need either an unlocked bootloader or a way to hide the bootloader status (e.g. with TWRP and magisk). Flash TWRP and magisk as mentioned in the TWRP thread.

You mentioned flashing files, what files are you flashing?

the last time was a very traumatic experience, it took about 2 or 3 days to recover the cell, I did the process by ADB, then I had to do the BRINK process at last I do not remember how I installed TWRP and did the version flash 8.1.0 that I found here in the forum, but I believe that when I installed magisk I must have done something wrong ... I will try again TWRP-> Oreo-> Magisk, I will find the download of the latest version of magisk and I try to do this, I need backup my cell phone beforehand because I have many things in it today.

Thank you very much for the dedicated attention and sorry for my bad way and my bad english
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
With the Oreo builds, there are no OTA updates so far, so you wouldn't hard brick. If I recall, you or your son installed an old OTA by accident.

Use the official TWRP 32 bit, then flash the TWRP OPJ28.111-22 flashable. Flash magisk either straight after installing the TWRP flashable, or you could boot, then backup then flash magisk. Reboot.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ReinaldoAF:
My TWRP installed on phone is 3.2.1-r2-arm64-tywinlannister7

maybe it is 64bits TWRP right? the 32 will work? we need change or just update (gosh many noob questions sorry)
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Stock firmware is 32 bit, your 64 bit TWRP should work though if you keep having magisk errors, try booting with the 32 bit TWRP instead and then try flashing with the 32 bit TWRP.

Also, try magisk 18.1 https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v18.1 and the newest Magisk manager APK you can find. Back up your device in TWRP before flashing magisk.

I just updated to Oreo 8.1.0 Version OPJ28.111-22

So far I have faced no problems. All functions are working well.

I downloaded the 903.51 mb zip file from this post.

The file name is like Blur_version...25.236.athene.us.zip like that.

I was on stock original nougat 7.0

I did no modifications to the system earlier.

Just downloaded the zip file, put it in the internal storage of the phone, gave storage permission to motorola update services, checked update from settings>about phone>system update,

It detected the update and prompt me via an update notice.

Did the update as normally done before. Clicked on install option.

Phone restarted and took nearly 30 minutes to install.

Again restarted and this time booting started, showed me the moto logo and then after sometime stuck on lenovo logo.

I thought my phone was bricked and so I did not touch anything for sometime while the phone remain showing lenovo logo.

After that I manually pressed the power button and hold it, the phone restarted, booted showing moto and lenovo logo as before and showed the normal screen this time.

So done the update successfully. I charged the phone to 97% before clicking the install update option.

I waited with patience and carefully done it.

Checked the settings option of the phone.

All functions are good and working well.

Battery function is normal.

Just toggled the volte option in network setting because volte was not showing automatically. It showed then.

All network settings are working fine. I am happy at least for now.

Lets see the performence in future.

Good luck to others.

Moto actions has some new features and all moto actions and moto display are working.

I have moto g4 plus XT1643 with locked bootloader N7.0 April security 2018, from India.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Petr83:
Help me please. Put the update Blur_Version.25.236.3.athene.retail.en.US.zip. Then he put back 7.0. I wanted to increase again through the update and the phone died. blankflash_athene_8.1.0_OPJ28.72.zip this blankflash does not pick up the bootloader. Is there any newer so that I can revive the phone? Model xt1642.

I had updated my Moto g4 plus to oreo and it's showing no service

I had updated to oreo in Moto g4 plus and after the update I cannot make a call or use internet it is showing no signal .please help me to solve it.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
How did you update to Oreo? What version were running before installing oreo? Anything else you flashed alongside or any other system modifications?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
If you bricked your device whilst downgraded from Oreo (and using an old Nougat OTA), there's very little we can do. We don't have a new blankflash leaked and I do not know if there will ever be a new one.

You'll likely have to pay for a JTAG service repair, a motherboard replacement or pay for a new device. I'm sorry, currently there are no other options to repair your device.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Petr83:
Thank. I have already made one person from Russia. For 10 minutes I restored the bootloader and I was able to flash the phone.

It has a blank-flash on the MBM-NG-VB1.08 loader. After cmd he was able to recover. The procedure is paid $ 10.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Is it newer than the OPJ28.72 blankflash we have access to, or did you not get to see? I'm guessing they deleted the file afterwards.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Petr83:
I think it is newer, since I had a security patch from December 1, 2018.

How is the UI? I find it a little slow with new Oreo 8.1
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Chintu.only:
The UI is just fine for me. I feel that it is smoother than my previous Nougat 7.0 and battery backup is also better than before I think. After the update I cleaned cache partition of my phone, but did not reset to factory settings yet. Because the phone is working well so no need to reset it for me. I am happy though. I wish if we can get the Pie 9.0 update, but thats a dream I know. I can use custom, but I want to stick to official stock version. I like it.

Have you tried using battery usage tracking apps like better battery stats? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en_US

It might give some information on where the wakeups are coming from.

I wonder if this is a problem with the rom, or if its because a clean install is needed or the dalvik/art cache needs to be wiped etc.

When i didn't reset the phone Instagram shows in play store...
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:

Using latest build since December 2018,

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
I don't expect any more updates anyway, our device has received 2 years worth of security updates (which seems to be the norm for G-series devices unless part of the Android Enterprise program).

What happens after rebooting now, now you've set up your device after resetting? Do you see Instagram back?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] knuxsonico:
To show instagram in the play store you have to go to settings, applications, play store and remove cache and data, reopen the play store and it should appear. It works for me.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Kashyapsuthar:
After format the phone didn't see Instagram in play store,

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Hmm, that's really odd - I'm on the same build (OPJ28.111-22) and Instagram shows up in the Play Store. From what I read of your previous posts, you even got the firmware via OTA, so you should be on the right build for your device. You could try re-flashing the stock Oreo firmware if you so choose, to make sure you can rule out the flash.

Is your device date and time set correctly and does Instagram not show even when connected to Wi-Fi, and are you able to sideload the Instagram app from APK Mirror or APK Pure? Did you try what knuxsonico suggested above? Also, do you have parental restrictions on your device, that might be blocking your access?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Kashyapsuthar:

Why not Vodafone VOLTE ?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
For some reason, Every Network Provider has different sets of supported devices, and after launch of volte services, they work with the company to provide few changes via an OTA, so naturally devices which aren't maintained by the company will not be compatible with newer volte services.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
If your bootloader is already unlocked, then you can flash TWRP (any 32 bit or 64 bit build for athene will do), then flash magisk. You should then be rooted on the stock firmware.

Please also edit your post to remove the quote, it's not needed!

I am on loony kernel with magisk root ,so final audio fix update arrive , I uninstalled magisk and restore my stock boot ,now I installed update from OTA but it is not installed in my phone , because notification show that update not installed ,no changes were made. So how to install update??
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Did you make any modifications to your device whilst rooted/with TWRP (even letting TWRP write to system)? If so, then you may have to flash the stock firmware to get a OTA compatible system or hope you've got a TWRP system image backup. Looking at the update logs, you need an unmodified, clean:

Stock boot (kernel)

Stock modem

Stock OEM

Stock system.

This OTA will also update your GPT and bootloader to the latest Oreo versions as well. I would connect your device via fastboot and flash clean images of the boot, modem (fsg/non-HLOS.bin), OEM, and the system sparse chunks. Then try to install the OTA update.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] knuxsonico:
Nice bro! You can confirm if the speed of the wifi works fine now? thanks.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] keval3492:
Only modifications I do till now ,flash loony kernel ,install magisk ,then today uninstalled magisk and flash stock boot.img which I had backup and want to OTA update .now it is recommended to unlock bootloader and get OTA update?? Please suggest step by step process....
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
No need to lock bootloader to get OTA updates.

Do you still have stock recovery on your device?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] keval3492:
I have recovery named Twrp 3.2.1.0 official on my phone. it is stock recovery or something that I didn't know ?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
No, that's a custom TWRP recovery, you need to flash stock recovery from the fastboot stock ROM, the OTA may soft brick your device otherwise
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] keval3492:
So how to flash stock recovery step by step?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Download the stock OPJ28.111-22 recovery here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ufEsfzoSu7G5eFXKKrOJZ5wTMu0sSqHn

With TWRP:

Download the recovery image to your device.

Boot to TWRP. Tap Install then tap Install as Image. Navigate to the recovery image you downloaded above. On the next screen, specify the target as recovery (NOT boot). Flash. Reboot to recovery and you should see the no command screen, that's stock recovery. Reboot to system and attempt to flash the OTA.

With fastboot:

Download the recovery image to your computer and copy to your ADB folder.

Boot your device to the bootloader. Connect your device to your computer with a USB cable and open an ADB terminal. In the terminal, type 'fastboot devices' without quotes. This should show your device's serial number. If so, type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' without quotes. If your recovery image is in the same folder as your ADB, the flash should then occur. Reboot to recovery then to system.

If your device fails to flash the OTA, then you will need to re-flash the system, OEM, modem and boot(kernel) images from the stock ROM firmware.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] keval3492:
I did the same , download stock recovery.img then go to custom recovery and tap to install image and locate file of recovery.img and tap as a recovery (other options are boot and system file ) and flash file. After that I go to recovery mode and see the no commands logo and reboot system and install update but it is not flash again , as before. So what is next step??? Like you said flash system and all other stuff??
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
You'll to have to flash the stock images from the fastboot rom as mentioned by echo92 few comments above^ and then you'll be able to install the update

During the fastboot installation omit the commands Fastboot oem lock and fastboot erase userdata

Then you'll be able to flash the update

if my bootloader is unlocked. do i need to lock it before OTA update ?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] thorin0815:
As long as no system files were alterted (e.g. root), it doesn't matter if the bootloader is locked or unlocked.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
As pankajkh mentioned, you'll have to restore the stock firmware (or a TWRP backup made with a system.image backup).

You do not have to flash the entire stock ROM to be OTA compatible - without seeing the error message, it's difficult to say which part of your device is not OTA compatible, but the following flash should make the OTA happy. This process assumes you have already formally updated to stock 8.1 OPJ28.111-22 (either by OTA or fastboot firmware flash).

1)Download the Oreo stock firmware from here. https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138

2)Unpack the Oreo stock firmware and copy to your ADB folder if not already present. If you have other firmware that is not OPJ28.111-22 in your ADB folder, delete the old firmware then copy the Oreo firmware.

3)Boot your device to the bootloader, and connect your device to your computer. Open an ADB terminal on your computer.

4)Type 'fastboot devices' in your ADB terminal, without quotes, and press Enter. You should see a response with your device's serial number.

5)If you do, commit the following flash commands:

fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

No GPT, bootloader or data erase is necessary. Once rebooted, then take the OTA update.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] keval3492:
Ok I will update when I will do that because this process need laptop and I am out of town .but till that ,I have twrp backup(when first time I decided to go on custom rom) around 5 GB like system ,data ,and other stuff. So restore them would help me??

Now one thing I update to you that my build no. Show the OPJ28.111-22-1 and my audio problem seem to solve but when I tap the update button it is still showing the update information like and showing install button ,I installed and my phone restart after that and install OTA update but in mid way it show error and phone is restart to system. So I think till now my phone installed 1/2 update and 1/2 update still remaining without installed..:)
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
When you took the backup, do you remember if TWRP was allowed to make modifications? On the first boot, TWRP may warn you about keeping your system read only or swiping to make modifications. If you kept your system read only then made the backup, the backup may be okay. If you allowed modifications, then made the backup, your system partition might be read-write, which is not OTA compatible. Basically, we don't know if your TWRP backup is okay for OTA updates.

The restore would also reset your device back to when you made the backup (if you restored data), losing messages, call logs and the like unless backed up online. Up to you, but I'd wait until you get access to a laptop. If you're out and need your phone, I would not mess with it - if something goes wrong, can you live without a working phone? Besides, the fastboot flash would be safer.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] keval3492:
Ya fastboot flash will be safer because my audio problem is solve with half installation of OTA:) but some clean work remaining which I will do via fastboot ..
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
I'm confused, you've already got the OTA and already installed it? It looks like the update went through okay, given the build number's updated.

Don't know what's going on with your device, really odd. I don't like half updates, so up to you if you want to do the partial fastboot flash or a full clean flash.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] keval3492:
I don't like partial fastboot flash ,so when I will have my laptop I will do clean flash .
