G5+:

Moto just published Oreo release notes for the G5 possibly for another soak test, I suspect it was also by accident like the one before (for G5s).
Since the G5+ notes have also been released, it could be that this is the final release and all bugs have been squashed with internal testing. I didn't see them posting release notes for soaks before.
Just gonna have to wait and see untill someone gets a notification, official or soak.

finally moto... guess if everything goes OK we'll see an official rollout by the end of july

It looks like Moto is waiting to do the Plus til last LOL

Please just stop with the speculation. There hasn't been a single release note posted for the g4 yet, so I see no reason for it to get Oreo before the g5 phones

Got an email for the soak, not sure if I qualified, though.

I think you are invited, check your spam for any mails from Moto. If you do get selected, remember to give us some Oreo love by capturing the OTA

Better later than never
Glad to know the devs will have the resources to improve and make even more custom roms stable.

better getting 8.1 late than staying in 8.0 early
it is not a year late though, 8.0 came in august and 8.1 in december, so we are still pretty new to the party.

You have to register your device and then sign it up for the MFN here:

At this point it's unlikely that you will get into the soak, but if there's any issues you might make it into the second one

Hell Froze Over, UK Update Available.

Never thought i would see the day.
Its patched it to the May security release which seems a bit behind the times still.
I was as shocked as you were, creation date 6th June, personally wonder why they bothered considering update content.
Ray
Standby time seems to be very much improved, a 2% drop over night and that was it.
Can I apply the update with my device being rooted with magisk or do I need to uninstall magisk first? Saw somewhere people using flashfire but I am not sure if I need to apply it from there as I have twrp installed. Grabbed the update so will upload.

Dunno mate sorry, mine is completely stock.
Woke up this morning to another update being available, takes the UK Moto G5 Plus to the August patch.

Some guy on fb said that by the end of December or at the first week of January, we'll start getting Oreo. I can't believe that but I may be wrong

Q&A about Oreo Beta

Before we begin: NO, I WILL NOT PROVIDE A ZIP HERE.
OK, now when thats out of the way, lets Start with the most asked questions about Stock oreo for Moto G5.
1: Q: "Is the Beta out yet?"
A: Not yet, but very soon, as the Moto G5 MFN requests have Been accepted.
2: Q: "Can you provide the OTA ZIP?'
A: No, because
1:Its illeagel
2: Its made for a specific IMEI
3: It may damages your device.
3: Q: "How do we find out if Oreo Beta out? Using OTA?"
A: You cant find out if your Device's Bootloader is unlocked and if you didnt join MFN using this link:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Forum-...or-the-Motorola-Feedback-Network/td-p/3064626
Then, when the day comes, you get Oreo Beta if you are on Stock and have Bootloader unlocked at that momement.
4: Q: "I dont care about illeagel stuff how do i get the ZIP extracted?"
A: You cant!
Because you only recieve the update if youre Bootloader locked. Thus you cant access /cache. Unlocking the Bootloader after you downloaded the Update erases Cache and Userdata (as we all know)
5: Q: "So... Will Oreo ever come out?"
A: Of course it does! Just give motorola time!
I will edit this thread when More questions get asked.
You can disguss and ask questions here, but look at your grammar and think twice before asking something.
Thanks, P8tgames :good:
Nice, can't wait to see news about the beta for our device
Hope it comes out quick
Truly excited.
I suppose there might be a way if someone runs a traffic detector on his/her network and grabs the OTA link...
(By the way, check some typos in the first post, it says things like "illeagel").
Oreo? We will get a lousy November security patch update first. So Oreo maybe in March or April, I bet.

Well, it shouldn't take longer than march. If it does, it will be a tremendous dissapointment. My guess is february, maybe they will skip november and go straight to december-january
I got my g5 yesterday and it only has august 2017 security patch, so a 1 day old phone for me has only a 5 months old security patch available in it... I came from a G4 Play forgotten by motorola after they promised G4 Play users an update to android 7.0 more than a year ago and never delivered.... looks like I've fallen in the same trap again, damn.

No oreo till august/september

There isn't any official announcement but. Seeing the pattern of providing update and the maintenance release notes for June patch. no one can expect Oreo till August/September as. It would take July to get updated security patch on every retail channel after which they will release another release which MAY be oreo. Which would actually take another month for full implementation.
Though I have created a tagline for Moto
"Lie like a pro
Lie like Moto"
Here's the Patch release Notes for g5splus
And here for Motog5plus

Cause It's in the news section and it's a news Sir.
As you can explicate the news as anything which is relevant to certain group or community and affect a large no of person is news.
Why are you still expecting after all this time!? They are not interested in giving Updates. Just Install any Custom Rom and Move on, because the discussion on this topic looks trash now!
Motorola os offcially releasong when the see the overall sales of G6 family has already satisfy / met expectations....or....nothing at all and theres no more options to release oreo...also..expect oreo release when Android P comes to everybody....im moving from Motonovo and going forward to Xiaomi or Huawei or Google Pixel or even back to HTC
Don't go to Huawei

I get your frustration with Motorola, but Huawei is much worse. They put out a public statement about major upgrades and patching and then did neither. Customer support was horrible.
Moto may suck, but Huawei sucks much more.
My 2 cents....

True. And this is nothing compared to Samsung.
S7 Oreo update: Buggy. Stopped. Two times.
S8 Oreo update: Buggy.
A3 Oreo update: Bootlooping.
Hell, I would never buy a Sammy.
Better a late and stable update than a quick and buggy one.

This was days ago. Guys, calm down! About 20 threads in the news and q&a section about Oreo.
I had do unbookmark these threads because every day someone opens another thread with NO information and I get pinged. Please start opening theads when something really happens. I would like to receive Oreo too but these "news" doesn't help anyone. Nothing against this OP, it's the mass that is annoying.

I really want to, but those camera bugs on Oreo custom roms annoys me, so I'm using stock rom again and one reason that I bought this phone months ago is because Motorola said that it was going to update to Oreo, which is frustrating to not seeing it yet.
Oreo will happen.
It's just a matter of when?
We're just lower down the priority list than newer phones (like any other manufacturer).
We should hopefully be next after Moto G5S, so watch for when that starts rowling out.

Let's see when (or will) LG release the update of Android Q

Decryption has been broken since release which is why we have no useable twrp. This is down to OnePlus it is fine on the Nord and 8 series. OnePlus have released countless updates and ignored this every time.

I didn't realise the twrp decryption thing was oneplus fault, i thought the partitions were a problem, the way you can't wipe system without bricking the phone.

No it's not the partition issue of android 10 it's the fact oos doesn't decrypt properly on the 7t due to poor implementation of the keystore by OnePlus.

I've just refurbed my 5t for my daughter and I couldn't believe the amount of roms and all that good stuff, it's been ages since I visited the 5t forum, android 11 roms too, i had a poco f1 that is crazy well developed :highfive:
They had just barely announced what devices are getting the update. But as stated, we're likely to hear something regarding our device by end of October, mid-November, latest. Or at least, we hope.
Some new info here, makes sense a stable build will be Q1 '21:
https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-O...id-11-or-OxygenOS-11-until-2021.497770.0.html
Hoping that a new beta round starts yet in October or November. Anyone able to shed light on this?
