I recently installed the boost variant (XT1922-9) on my Brazillian variant (XT1922-9).


and it runs all ok!

My next step is install a Moto G6 Plus on my device, just because the 64 bit works on it.
Can I run a Moto G6 Plus on a Moto G6 Play?

If Anyone didn't this I will let!

Nope. You flashed firmware for the exact same model number. Of course it works.
G6 plus is a very different device. It won't even flash. Bootloader, partition table, etc, etc... All mismatched.
If you don't believe it, give it a shot. It will fail to flash, or brick ?.

I've tried flashing the vendor, oem, and boot.img from the G6 Plus followed by a GSI. It totally did not work, as I expected. It sent me straight to the boot loader with a kernel and vendor mismatch error.
