[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Alamow_3:
The OTA to 8.1 went into an installation error everytime I tried to update. Eventually the phone stopped booting.

When I try to install SANDERS_OPSS28.65_36_3_cid50_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml i recieve a message that the firmware is older than the installed firmware.

Minimal ADB and Fastboot 1>fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

target reported max download size of 534773760 bytes

sending 'system' (256355 KB)...

OKAY [ 5.941s]

writing 'system'...

(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

FAILED (remote failure)

finished. total time: 5.992s

When I access recovery I receive "E:Failed to mount /cache/recovery/last_locale"

8.1.0/OPSS28.65_3/4af3

I am not able to find Retapac firmware online. Any suggestions?
