Ensure you have the right firmware in your ADB folder (delete any old firmwares to make sure you're flashing only the new firmware). Of course, this will remove TWRP, magisk and loony from your device, make sure you have zips of them ready if you want to flash them after updating.

Stock OTA updates require stock recovery (as well as an unmodified system, kernel, OEM, modem, etc). OTA updates, unless modified, will not flash with TWRP.

The OPJ28.111-22-1 update appears to have been deployed in India so far, maybe it'll get deployed elsewhere. If you really need the fix, revert back to opj28.111-22 stock firmware and then apply the OTA update. Or wait for a TWRP flashable of the updated Oreo firmware.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] KushagraJ:
It MAY or MAY NOT work. Once the bootloader gets updated, it is not possible to downgrade the bootloader to earlier version. Doing so will hard-brick your device. The workaround AFTER the hard-brick to get the bootloader to show was a blankflash and the blankflash was tested only with bootloaders of Android N (and/or earlier) . They have not been tested with the bootloader from Android O thus, nothing can be said about their success with it and if the blank-flash does NOT work, you may end up with a paperweight altogether.

If you flash twrp. First make a full backup of your current rom including EFS partition. Then if you want Nougat , flash JX Stock Rom or Resurrection Remix N Final. Both of these are quite stable. I'd recommend RR N. In worst case scenario you can restore your twrp backup.

Don't try Xposed yet. Since its a soak test.

Soak test basically means BETA version of the official update(normal update). Since its BETA, it will have few bugs and will be less stable.

Everyone has a different usage pattern, different requirements/apps. Motorola won't know what all problems could arise due to different usage of different people.

So first, they let a small number of users try the soak test so that if there are any issues, it will be reported to them, and can be fixed. Once there are no/minimal issues(the ones which can be ignored and won't stop regular tasks, they roll out the update to the majority people, because nobody would like an update which has problems due to which they can't do their regular tasks.

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------

Try night mode. It will reduce the screen burn to some extent

You may or may not get OTA with current soak test. Most likely, it won't happen if you are not registered for soak tests according to Motorola. Yes, you will have to do it everytime a soak test is released (we will be getting 2 or 3 soak tests or in worse/best case 4 soak tests before official oreo is out)

Could you please tell what did you do before soak test?

Soak test is having some issues with network. Its fluctuating even though you might get full sign range in other device.

I have a G4 (non plus) XT1622 and learned that in Brazil and India G4 non plus users got the Oreo update last march.

After spending 1 hour reading this thread I understand that :

1 / G4 plus ROM is perfectly good for G4 too

2/ Lenovo / Motorola has no plan to push the update for G4 non plus in Europe and the US (why is a mistery)

3 / If I want the update I have to do it myself

My only concern is about the Baseband and "software channel".

I bought and I use my G4 XT1622 in France with "Bouygues Telecom" operator, software Channel is "reteu" and baseband is "EMEA".

If I undestand it right OPJ28.111-22 ROM contains all G4 (plus) basebands and software channels ?

According to this there is probably four Basebands for G4 : https://www.phonemore.com/models/motorola/moto-g4/

And probably five for G4 Plus : https://www.phonemore.com/models/motorola/moto-g4-plus/

I saw confirmations about Brazil, US, India and EMEA (my concern) since thorin0815 posted that :

Flashing the OTA requires a stock recovery, stock, unmodified, OEM, kernel, system and modem. In short, you'd have to formally update to OPJ28.111-22 - the TWRP flashable won't be enough.

If you don't want to full revert to stock firmware, you can use the OPJ28.111-22-1 TWRP flashable to update your device via TWRP.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79748241&postcount=478

Ensure you make a TWRP backup before attempting to install this. Furthermore, this TWRP flashable, like other TWRP flashables, should not update your GPT or bootloader.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
If you're wanting to keep TWRP, you're better off using the TWRP flashable of Oreo 8.1 https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79748241&postcount=478

If you're running NPJS25.93-14-18, you could sideload the OTA in method 2 (despite the restriction, if you're on NPJS28.93-14-18, you're safe). However, the OTA requires a device with unmodified firmware, fully updated. If you've got TWRP, custom kernels, root etc, you'd have to revert to full stock firmware to use the OTA. If you don't want to do that, you'll be better served with the Oreo TWRP flashable.

See I am actually on stock nougat ROM and I have not yet installed TWRP. I checked that I am currently on version NPJS25.93-14-18. I am yet confused from your above post because I dont want to root my phone, so can I install it via OTA despite of my bootloader version being BL1.07?

And thanks for the help man!
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
I'm not sure where you're getting the idea of root, no need to root your device for stock OTA updates (and generally a bad idea for OTA updates anyway).

Yes, you can update via OTA since your device is on NPJS25.93-14-18 and on B1:07 - those are the requirements for the Oreo 8.1 OPJ28.111-22 OTA update that's been captured here. That warning, in method 2, was to ensure that if you did flash stock Nougat firmware you only updated your device, never downgraded. Since you're already on the requisite firmware, there shouldn't be any issues.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
That's the prefix for an OTA update from Motorola. If you capture the update (e.g. finding the file in your cache or from the OTA server URL), you'll usually see it start with blur_version. Not sure what it actually refers to.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] ThatDragon:
Hi, I was in the exact same situation as you, wondering about exactly the same things.

I started out with my Non-plus G4 (XT1622) bought in Germany, Software Channel "reteu", Baseband "EMEA", running a totally unmodified system version 7.0 with April 2018 Security Updates (NPJS25.93-14-18), bootloader not unlocked.

I've been waiting for the official 8.1 update forever, but Motorola simply won't deploy it.

This is what I had to do to get it to work:

1.) Copy Blur_Version.25.236.3.athene.retail.en.US.zip from the original post to the internal storage. (I also placed it on the SD card, just to make sure.)

I then tried to install it via Stock Recovery by "Apply update from SD card", which did not work for some reason. It was giving me some mounting error.

So I installed it using the alternate way:

2.) Grant Storage Permission to Motorola Update Services.

3.) Open Motorola Update and Check for Updates, then install the update.

4.) Copy OTA_Package_OPJ28.111-22-1.zip from the original post to the phones internal storage. (I also placed it on the SD card, just to make sure.)

At this point, eventhough I granted Storage Permission to Motorola Update again, I was not able to get it to find and install OPJ28.111-22-1.

So I again tried using the Stock Recovery way, which did work this time:

5.) Boot into Recovery Mode

6.) Select "Apply update from SD card", then install the update.

After rebooting I ran into some trouble with my SIM Card not getting detected properly.

"Wipe Cache Partition" in Recovery didn't help, so I ended up having to do a full wipe using "Wipe data/factory reset", then selecting "Yes" when prompted about wiping all customizations.

Everything seems to be running fine on Oreo 8.1.0 with December 2018 Security Updates (OPJ28.111-22-1) now. Baseband and Software Channel are still the same. I didn't notice any problems. Hope this helps!
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Noname017:
Correct file name for OTA_Package_OPJ28.111-22-1.zip is Blur_Version.28.11.26.athene.retail.en.US.zip. Update method that involves granting storage permission to Motorola Update Services is not going to work with a different file name.

Please add this to OP and/or reupload the file with a correct name to make sure that no one else has to deal with this problem.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] profyler:
Wait, first i have to install Blur_Version.25.236.3.athene.retail.en.US.zip using the motorola update app (after granting permissions), and after the update is finished i have to reboot the phone and install OTA_Package_OPJ28.111-22-1.zip via my stock recovery?

Yes - if you're using OTA updates, you cannot skip updates. They are sequentially applied and as such you will likely have to reboot between OTA updates to apply the next one.

Alternatively, you could flash the full fastboot stock firmware, which would update you in one go, but requires some more input.
