The link to the OTA is dead.
If anyone has the zip on their pc, can you please upload it and put the link here?

Using the first post of this topic I updated my unlocked Sheridan RETEU from OPL27.76-51 (March security patch) to the latest OPLS27.76-51-5 (May security patch).

I flashed the GRIFFIN_OPL27.76-51_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip and after reboot I installed the OTA "naturally" directly from the Motorola servers. If you do not receive the update notification, you can try to sideload the OTA archive.

The commands I used for re-flashing OPL27.76-51 are:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.10
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.11
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.12
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.13
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.14
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot reboot

Firmware file - GRIFFIN_OPL27.76-51_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
OTA from OPL27.76-51 to OPLS27.76-51-5 (for adb sideload) - Blur_Version.27.211.6.griffin.retail.en.US.zip

Hope this information will help someone! :good:

After I sideload OTA will my software channel changed to retus or remain the same: retapac?

Thanks

 

[lesbianu]

I re-flashed Oreo multiple times (OTA sideload before unlocking bootloader, couple of full firmware flash and one classic OTA directly from Motorola after unlock). The "channel" it's unchanged!

First u need to unlock bootloader.
Now we have full rom 8.0.0 Why dont you flash full stock with that. No need to flash 711 then flash OTA update with adb sideload.
1- only 99% worked.
2 and 3 cancel because we have full stock 8.0.0

Do I lose my data and apps if I just sideload it without factory reset? I'm using retapac running 7.1.1 with locked bootloader

Went smoothly. Anyone else having issues with Approach and Moto Display not working?,

I installed over my locked bootloader and it went well btw

I did a factory reset and everything is fine now.

I have a suspicion that Oreo + MotoApproach/MotoDisplay + Immersion Mode is broken.

You update from 7.1.1 to 8.0 without PC? Just put the zip file to root directory and install it via "software update"?

That is the full firmware to flash with fastboot commands if you unlocked the bootloader. For OTA sideload you need the OTA file.

If you receive the notification update, you can install the OTA "naturally" (directly from Motorola's servers).
If not, you can sideload it: reboot to stock recovery, select Apply update from ADB and install it from your PC using - adb sideload otafilename.zip command.

Hi, i have a question. I have a motoz bought in germany without contract. its a sheridan with reteu, i have installed the 7.1 update back at the time and did a full backup of it with twrp, but somehow the backup doesnt boot... menawhile i was using custom roms, but i would like go back to stock. So my version is Blur_Version.26.241.14.griffin.retail.en.US , version-bootloader: moto-msm8996-91.08 , motorola/griffin/griffin:7.1.1/NPLS26.118-20-5-11/14:user release-keys , ro.carrier: reteu
Im searching forever to find a reteu Image to flash, but i cant find one, only others, for instance this GRIFFIN_OPL27.76-51_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip , my question now, can i flash this one to retain reteu or will it change the software channel than? Or what woudl be my best way to get to official stock 8.0?
thanks

if your cid=0x0032 you can flash the following firmware since its for cid50. (0x0032 is HexaDecimal for 50).
Sortware channel will remain the same.
