Some people are saying some apps work but I think this is the only solution to this problem. Once I receive the update first I am going to try some apps that people are reporting that are working if doesn't work then I will do this.

Just one question, you flashed the official magisk file or needs to be modified for our device?

Edit: Can you link to the app you used to fix the RGB values pls
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ashish.22:
I guess it was already modified, I don't know much about it, the video which I followed was specifically made for moto g4 plus oreo whether custom or not.

What about the infamous ghost touch?, do Oreo users still have it or still need to disable Moto Display to keep it to a minimum?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pripyaat:
You've probably already sorted out the issue, but mounting the /system partition (there's an option in the recovery mode) and then trying to install the zip should do the trick.

By the way, in case anyone is wondering, just to be safe i clean installed Nougat 25.93-14-18 first via fastboot and then the 25.236.3 Oreo zip, and everything is working great. (XT 1644 bought from Amazon in the US)

Thank you very much for the files OP!

Honestly if you enable Battery Saver and keep brightness low you won't face it (without root) and Underclocking (root)

Why would you want to do it anyways? It's a hardware problem which is likely not to be fixed by any updates.

Can any one tell me where to look for TWRP flashable stable stock Oreo ROM ?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Please look at the link in this post https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78932768&postcount=703

This TWRP flashable has the same build as the general release that is being deployed, so it looks to be the same build as the stable general release.

Hi, I have a Moto G4+ Retla version, can I install the retin version uploaded in OP? There was a method for updating via the Motorola update app just placing the file in a folder, does that method work? Anyone has a tutorial for it? Thanks
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
You could install the update, if you already have NPJS25.93-14-18 on your device. I don't fully remember if retla devices get the same firmware as other regions, I recall they seem to.

The update method should work if you're on the above Nougat build:

1) download the update. Place in your internal storage at the same level as the Download, documents, music etc folders on your internal storage (do not need root access). It's also the same folder level you see when opening your device whilst your device is connected to a computer.

2) go to settings>apps. In the top right corner, tap the 3 dot menu and show system apps.

3) in the apps list (now with system apps as well) navigate to Motorola update services, tap to open and grant storage permissions.

4) go to settings>about phone>system updates, check for updates or reboot and check for updates, the updater should then pick up on the update and begin updating you to OPJ28.111-22.

Oreo update (OPJ28.111-22) successfully done. I had never rooted my phone before because I wanted to get the Oreo update first. How do I root it now on Oreo as all root articles are for nougat/marshmallow?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
There have been reports suggesting that magisk is enough to root, without the need for a custom kernel (as was the case with Nougat).

The process would be to unlock your bootloader (will erase your device), flash TWRP via fastboot and then boot to TWRP. Back up your device, then flash magisk. Wipe cache and dalvik, then reboot. I've not tried this, but the aforementioned reports indicate this should work.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
Yes,Only Flashing Magisk in Twrp helps get root. A backup is suggested before trying
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] BadFranch:
Thank you very much!

Now if someone with retla version could confirm that the zip in the op is working in their phone that would be great! Or at least someone with a XT1641

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Hmm, what doesn't work with this technique? Is your device on NPJS25.93-14-18, did you download the 900 MB Blur_Version.25.236.3.athene.retail.en.US.zip (not the 50 MB zip) and copied it to your device?

---------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

Likely yes, though you'll have to wait for Motorola to build and release the Oreo update for retus (retail US software channel). The firmware update here requires the Nougat build NPJS25.93-14-18 - in theory you could flash that build to your device if you had an unlocked bootloader, then apply the Oreo firmware update on here. However, we don't know if the US will get the same build (may do) or get a slightly different build with US specific fixes - if you want to play it safe, wait for the Oreo OTA to get to the US.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] annoyingduck:
[MENTION=6324159]rajatgupta1998[/MENTION] It's been mentioned already, but I wanted to confirm so that you can update the OP for proper rooting instructions. The method I used is based on a clean factory 8.1 installation. Here's the method I used coming from Lineage on my XT1644 US variant:

-Clean fastboot flashed N 7.0 NPJS25.93-14-18 (I wiped everything and kept bootloader unlocked, you can choose to omit locking and wipe commands if you want)

-Sideloaded Blur_Version.25.236.3.athene.retail.en.US.zip via stock recovery

-Fastboot flashed official TWRP 3.2.1 (official current release from TWRP's website, not a modified version)

-Booted recovery and flashed latest Magisk 18.1 stable

NOTE: you can also fastboot boot TWRP if you do not want to permanently install TWRP and keep the stock recovery. This is likely our last build, so I see no need for this, but whatever the option is available!

-Magisk manager did not auto install, so I downloaded the latest release and installed it

-Root confirmed and working and safetynet passes

-Clear data on the playstore and reboot to get device certification

-Done

Now I recommend installing a better bootanimation and boot logo to get rid of the hideous Lenovo animation and bootloader locked screen. I use the dark pixel setup here: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/bootanimation-splash-pixel-2-t3696336
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] TLastPrism:
The CTS Profile fails to pass safetynet test on the official stable build of Oreo. I don't think OPJ28.111.22 is the final official build for our device yet, Moto can't leave this as it is right now, right...?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Is your bootloader unlocked or locked with the stock Oreo build? If locked, can you clear the Play Store data and reboot? You may have to re-certify your device in this way.

If you've got an unlocked bootloader still, then you'd have to flash magisk to try to get SafetyNet.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] annoyingduck:
Working fine for me, read my post a just above yours with the proper directions for achieving root and passing safety net.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] TLastPrism:
My bootloader is locked since i relocked it when i flashed totally stock nougat some weeks ago... And recently updated to the official stable build of oreo. Even though CTS shows fail, i can still download Netflix, Critical ops and everything from playstore normally... Maybe it's just a visual bug...
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] skalnas:
I have the same device. If you are rooted and bootloader unlocked you can upgrade manually, which worked for me. I would suggest twrp backup first. Then search for twrp flashable version, I'm currently on.112 build. Factory reset device on twrp install twrp Oreo version, flash magisk, wipe caches, reboot. Worked for me. Bear in mind that you can try dirty flashing but I recommend against it.

My build number is NPJS25.93-14-8.1-9 (security patch from April 1st 2018. Did every step exactly as you say.

When I click on "system updates" it seems to look for an update longer than when the zip is not present, but after that search it shows me the "system is up to date" screen.

Maybe it's because my build number is different and my device not compatible
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] NeoGeorge02:
Isn´t a kernel avalible for the "ghost screen" problem yet?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Ah, these updates require NPJS25.93-14-18 as I mentioned in my other post; as you note and was previously mentioned, they won't work on your build. You need to either wait for the retla specific Oreo OTA or unlock your bootloader, flash the NPJS25.93-14-18 firmware and try to update (or flash the TWRP firmware). However switching firmwares may affect whatever region specific features your stock ROM build has. If you want to play it safe, wait for the OTA to come to your device.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] mahmudulh59:
when will be oreo fastboot firmware available?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
In theory you could download and use the update, though as pankajkh mentioned, you might want to wait for the OTA update. The 900 MB update on XDA requires the NPJS25.93-14-18 stock firmware (clean and unmodified), April 2018 security patch and B1:07 bootloader. If you fulfill these conditions, you could try the update from here. However, I'd honestly play it safe and wait for the OTA.

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

No idea, usually if we can find it, it'll be leaked 1-2 months from now. Given the number of people looking for it, I imagine that could be sooner.

The safest way to upgrade is from an unmodified stock firmware (NPJS25.93-14-18). Just do that and everything will be ok. I've been using it since yesterday and everything seems to work well. Battery life is ok. It will drain faster than nougat considering oreo is more resource hungry than nougat.

I just mentioned the same exact line as provided by the Flux app developer in google play store and hence I used "...... " when mentioning about the google play update problem to provide word to word description from the app developer itself without any ambiguity.

It is good if it is working fine on your device.

In my case it just happens for a few miniseconds. Probably by this terminology "blinking screen" app developer means that the app disables and then re-enables screen filter. Hard to notice for many users but still quite evident in my case.

So, finally I am on Oreo. Flashed with Oreo zip via TRWP and worked in a single go. However, after flashing Magisk 18.1, the Magisk hide feature is not working at all. I even downgraded to Magisk 18.0, but even this is not working anymore. Nougat + Magisk 18.0 with Magisk Hide used to work flawless for me. Also, I tried flashing 17.3 (last stable update before 18.0) and now I have a weird problem where Magisk app is not available after I reboot. And now, no matter even if I am trying to flash 18.0/18.1 it is just not available in my app list.

At the moment I'm without root on Oreo, but any help would be appreciated.

P.S: After flashing each Magisk version, I also flashed Magisk uninstaller before flashing to a different Magisk version. But however, for all the versions I flashed the latest 18.1 uninstaller. Can this cause such a problem? It worked couple of times, but since Magisk Hide was not working I thought to downgrade the version.
