Hi there... this zip is designed to be flashed through TWRP recovery, not via fastboot. There are other versions out there of you google or search through XDA a bit.
[Oreo][Stock][Rom] TWRP Flashable Stock Builds
- Thread starter NZedPred
- Start date
Anyone? My next step is to wipe the phone and have him rebuild from scratch - but he's in his mid-80's and I'm sure if he'd known this was part of the upgrade requirements, he would have passed on it. Really looking for a solution!
Just try some basic things like deleting the AP and adding again, couple of reboots to be sure. Try disabling Bluetooth and or GPS leaving just WiFi enabled.
Not sure if this is similar or related to reports other people have made of the WiFi disconnecting.
Where did this come from? There has been no october security update to RETUS for the Motorola G5 Plus.
There has however been an update for the G5S Plus.

Thanks for that, getting into building it now. If not ready today, will be tomorrow (assuming all goes well
)
I got this update yesterday morning (November 20) It said October security patches and it came through the official motorola updater.
What's the build number?..September patch was 85-17..
Thanks
Cheers!:laugh:
PS
NZedPred Hey,I was wondering if installing the 85-13-3 update OTA over 85-17 would work?(cause I imstalled the 85-17 update to my RETIN chanel device a day before moto rolled out the 13-3 patch for October security)
Thanks?

Well, I'm a bit embarrassed to admit clearing the dalvik cache/cache fixed the problem. We absolutely ran that routine immediately after applying the update, but apparently it did not do what it was supposed to do. I guessing that's because we wiped before booting for the first time? Either way, I had him do a nandroid full backup, and then using the advanced/wipe/(dalvik & cache), it worked. He is thrilled - an me, even more so as it means I don't have to hold his hand to get his phone set up from scratch.
Nope, that won't work. You can however downgrade to 85-13 safely, then capture the OTA (refer to first post) and share it

I'll need to unlock bootloader to downgrade to 85-13 right? Currently my phone is vanilla with locked bootloader (never rooted or unlocked)...
Or just installing the OTA for 85-13 by placing in internal storage will work?(I'm thinking it might not work..better to take your opinion on this).
Also I had downloaded the 13-3 OTA on another G5+(stock,locked,unrooted) tried finding the OTA in stock recovery.. It didn't show any option for browsing the internal storage..as listed in the first post..Shall I share the screenshot for stock recovery(if that's possible.. Never tried taking SS of stock recovery lol)
Thanks!

Ah, sorry mind blank, didn't realise that you are locked etc... To be honest, you can just manually flash the OTA (EDIT: I mean an OTA from 85-17 to 85-17-2, may as well stay on the same upgrade path) (there's another thread that deals with how to do that). If you want to go through all of the trouble of unlocking (which involves completely wiping your device), then you can really just flash any build over the top of another.Nope, that won't work.

I'm trying to flash this file through TWRP on my moto g5 plus which has no OS installed ( is that what a clean flash is?), Whenever I start the flashing process the installation is fine until it gets to writing the system, it gets stuck here, sometimes it get stuck early on (6%-12%) and other times later on (70% - 100%). I'm not sure if I'm being impatient or if it is crashing. I wait around 20 to 30 minutes before restarting the phone. Any help at all would be appreciated as it is my first time doing something like this. Thank you.
I have been bugged by the update notice for the last 2 or 3 days... today it has been very persistent

I wasn't saying it wasn't true, just haven't seen it mentioned elsewhere.I have been bugged by the update notice for the last 2 or 3 days... today it has been very persistent
I believe I know why I haven't received it.
Hey,
I tried out the Lenovo Moto smart Assistant(last ditch desperate attempt)..turns out it says unsupported device since the OS version not matching with the device version I guess...was wondering if unlocking will have any such problems?..i'd hate to be stuck on the wrong software version that won't let me unlock bootloader or hard brick it in the process
Thanks!
PS: Just to clarify, did you mention a way to downgrade to the correct version without unlocking?? ??

Did a quick test with these, and safety net failed. So, in the Aroma installer, select the option to change the device fingerprint to pass Safety Net with Magisk.
Don't forget to hit thanks if you want me to continue doing these builds.
