Without unlocking your bootloader, you'd have to wait for the Oreo fastboot stock ROM if you want to keep your data and apps. Unlocking your bootloader will erase your device as a security measure, no way around that. As you've found out, the newer OTA update will only flash onto a stock Nougat device. Perhaps others could suggest apps that could work in backing up data on a locked bootloader, though backing up your files/photos/videos to a computer or the cloud would be a good first step if you wanted to unlock your bootloader.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Pranav:
It happens very similar to me.

Actually this problem has started from that time, when I flashed soak test first time,till now I am experiencing same problem on each and every rom whether it is stock or custom.

Don't know what happened,but I cant complain as my battery is nearly 3 years old now.

:(

Then Oops, It's Your Battery, battery must be replaced within 2 years of use that if you too good care. So it's not the rom, but your battery.

I like the (soak test) 8.1.0 update. However, the Night Light (Blue light filter) feature is missing. I actually have this on some other 8.1.0 phones. Does this feature nog exist on the Moto Oreo roms?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] shekharendu:
It's a stock rom. And stock rom does not provide such features (untill now). Others are little bit modified ?

I'm pretty sure that there's no such thing as a "G4Plus-specific firmware". G4 and G4+ are basically identical, and they should fetch the same updates from the same server.

If Lenovo will find a way to disable updates for G4, this will be a very scummy thing to do, which will not benefit anyone.

The non-plus version of g4 plus is called 'Athene_t' while the g4 plus is called 'Athene_fp' in the internal name of the device. Even if it's almost the same hardware, moto can still identify who has the non-plus version and the plus version. And yeah, i wanted too Oreo 8.1 on my non-plus variant, but, in the end, she promised oreo only for g4 plus variants, so i can't get angry for not getting something i didn't pay for.

ok since this thread is popular i have a question, my turbo power charger was working good up and until yesternight, I wanted to charge my g4+ (which has either a faulty battery or software glitch causing severe battery draining and sudden shut off), the charger start making a buzzing noise and won't charge once connected, strangely enough, when i test it on other devices like my old moto G1 it works and charge, any help? Is my phone using too much power that the charger can't keep up or is the charger magnetized? or did i lose the fast charging capabilities in my phone? note i can still charge my phone using any other charger or via USB connected to PC
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
Random shut downs are a sign of faulty battery or it isn't any software glitch. Try using a different cable. Or maybe Your micro usb port is faulty, because even mine made the buzzing sound before getting it replaced
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SnoopDoge:
the USB port is working fine because as i said, i can still charge up the phone and connect it to PC, if the charger is faulty then idk how, i've been taking good care of it and any charger in general i unplug them whenever not in use to prevent sudden voltage increase or burning, the buzzing sound goes after 5-10 mins and it actually sounds like a small spring moving fast
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] pankajkh:
Alright, What are the battery temperatures, turbo charging doesn't work after 40°c (battery) and i guess there's a restriction on the cpu temperature also.

i just came to conclusion that it somehow got burnt and malfunctioned and reverse charging, just connected my G1 and it's showing the bolt sign on the battery icon but the charge is decreasing, i'm so mad because i'm taking good care of it and it happened faster than a snap yesterday, too bad where i live they don't sell Motorola devices nor accessories, i'll have to buy a Samsung fast charger instead

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
In addition to strongst's reply, it depends on where you got the soak test. If you got the soak test via Motorola, then yes, as strongst has mentioned - you should be formally updated to the last soak test/release build, which generally have been the same from previous soak tests.

If you got the soak test from XDA or other leaks, there's no guarantee you'd get the OTA to Oreo, since Motorola doesn't know about your device having the soak test on it. If the final build is OPJ28.111-12 - the latest leaked soak test, then you'd be okay and you'd be back on the official branch. However, due to the mention of OPS28.111-22 (possibly a newer build, or a different regional build) here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78865803&postcount=585 which we currently do not have, you may be stuck on the soak test and not receive the final official OTA. A couple of ways to get around this would be to try to downgrade to Nougat, then accept the OTA (possibly risky) or wait for the Oreo stock fastboot ROM to be leaked, then formally update to Oreo via a fastboot flash, bypassing the OTA update.
