Hey guys, since Motorola announcement that they won't update moto g5s plus to Android Pie ive start to looking for the update folder to g5s plus. And I have a question, perhaps Motorola change the device list and I keep wondering, if they do update moto g5s plus can I go back to stock version? Because I just want this file TU receive earlier the update because everyone says that g5s plus is amazing with Android 8.1. Those are my device info's:
Base band: M8953_37.46.07.50.01R SANDERS_BRAZILDSDS_CUST

Version number: NPSS26.116-64-11

From my understanding, you just need firmware files which are meant to your device variant/region, and you can go back to stock.

And i don't think Motorola will ever change their mind and update it to P.
You will have custom Pie ROM if you want. Otherwise Oreo is last.

[For More, Your question is not clear, can you explain it so we can help you correctly.]

A few dies I've saw a thread here on xda that if you download a folder, paste at the root location of the phone and search for updates the update to android 8 will show up. I can't find this thread that's because I'm here, to know if someone have the files and if it's compatible with my g5s plus (that's why I wrote my phone infos)

What !!!!!!!!!

I have never seen such folder which can trick your phone for OTA !!

There are 3 ways to get OREO,
1) unlock bootloader and install custom ROM.
2) we have soak test zip, install it. (If you install soak zip, you will need to go back to official firmware to take future releases..)
3) register for updates which are soak tests, mfn on Motorola site.

I think he is talking abt
1) dwnld the stock 8.1 rom
2) push to mobile storage in specific folder using adb
3) check on mobile-system update-and it wil show u update
4) restart.
Something like this i think.

That's it, the soak test zip, i couldnt remember the name, sorry about all the confusion. This soak test zip is secure to install? i'm at the mfn program but i didnt recived the update (and there is some people that already recived 2 months ago). Can you post the download link of the soak test zip?How did i get back to stock system when motorola realease the update for everybody? Flashing the stock rom?

Here it is : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...nt/stockoreo-rooted-users-upgrade-to-t3807835

When Motorola rollsout update for all, you will have to flash official firmware which is meant to your device/region.
Note down current firmware version of your device, so you can have correct firmware...
