    Post system update, fully bricked

    Does it vibrate or any other indication that the phone is trying to boot? Will it charge? needs to be at least 40% to recover. USB to ADB and see if the phone is recognized on a PC. Could be hard bricked ... there is one other mode that some phones use where the screen is black and the only way...

    Post Oreo official update finally released

    I modified the oem.prop file on the update image by adding AMZ to the athene names. I will upload that here when I get a chance. I haven't actually tried this because my bootloader is locked and I cant wipe this phone as I use it for work.

    Thread Oreo official update finally released

    Not much going on here but the G4 Plus has been finally updated to Oreo. While many of you have unlocked or rooted already, those of you that have not and are on retail should be able download and run this. Amazon versions may never get this update. I am curious if there will ever be an easy...

    8.1 official Hello Mosella, I know this thread is old but now that Oreo official is out for the retail version I am thinking of trying your method on my stock athene_amz If I understand correctly, you are exploiting a failed install to access the mounted system and using ADB to replace a...

    Post [Stable][OTA]Oreo 8.1 Update [OPJ28.111-22-1][16 June 2019 IST]

    Thanks for the update. I gave it a try - though I am on G4 "athene_amz" and it did not work, which I think is expected because it wants "athene" for ro.product.name instead. am curious if I will finally have to root this phone to upgrade?

    Post [Stable][OTA]Oreo 8.1 Update [OPJ28.111-22-1][16 June 2019 IST]

    Has anyone tried this? Has anyone ran the update on non-plus G4? How about the non-retail Amazon version? I have held off on trying the soak test so far but would love to update to Oreo. As far as I have read the update is possible on these, but I haven't seen much direct evidence.

    Post Moto G4 battery dies extremely fast

    Your phone needs to re calibrate the battery. This is probably the bit I like the least about these phones. Near as I can tell the best method is to let it drain till dead - then plug in with your charger and leave for several hours. Power on while phone is still plugged in - let it continue...
