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.]

We dont even even officially have oreo , your looking beyond that? Lol

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.

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...

As far as I understand (which isn't very much, to be honest), you probably can't flash the ATT version to your phone. But if you're interested in rooting your phone and all that, you can probably flash different ROMs that will keep you up to date with the newest Android releases, like CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, AOKP, OmniROM, etc. I don't have all the technical know-how, and I won't tell you which ROMs are "best" or even which are available; you can always check out the Android Development section for that stuff.

can anyone give me some information about that

There is a downgrade protection that does not let you flash previous firmware which is only bypassed by boot loader unlocked. There currently is no way to relock until newer firmware comes out.
My patience has wore thin day by day.
What's the heck wrong with Motorola?
I think they were working on the memory issue before re-releasing the OTA update. Still, I'm surprised it's taking them this long.

No i didn't, one of my 2 G stuck on the 21.11.23. However, I just have a chat with a motorola customer service. Giving them the IMEI, and he/she confirms me that the batch update for my specific phone will be delivered within next-week, which is not a so bad news.
So if you're out of patience. It's a good way to contact Motorola
Let's hope that s/he tells you the truth.
Please let us know on or before 1/19, which is Monday after next week.
All fingers crossed.
Makes me glad I did not wait. Been on 5.0.1 for 3 weeks now
I can't wait too, it's making me so frustrated, hope they release it soon...
LOL
How sick Motorola is!
Others do have 5.0.2 and a lot of us still stuck with 4.4.4.
Even the older version of XT1063 does have Lollipop but the new ones.
Beautiful!
Alright, there is a new, hopefully it's a good news.
I don't know when it was happening but this morning, I checked my dad's xt1063 (21.11.13) and bam, there is an update to 22.21.28. I have not updated it yet, will do after work.
Also, I haven't checked my mom's xt1063 (also running 21.11.13) so I don't know the update is only on Dads or both.
Will report later.
As I expect the unexpect, my Dad's is ready to go but my Mom's is still stuck with 21.11.23. LOL
Weird!
Hell, it's ugly.
I wouldn't do it on my Mom's even when update is available.
try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q8oTgd1G0s and let us know (read the video comments for updated info)
yeaah
hello i just got receive the update message on my xt1063 21.11.22 but i choosse "later" because i am root, should i have to unroot firt before update or not?

[Q] Vetting stock firmware

Where do you guys get your stock firmware from? Reverting to Stock in ios was a non-issue as Apple is always happy to get you back in its walled garden. With Android it seems a little harder and I can't seem to find official (signed) Motorola stock firmware. Furthermore, updating using the Motorola OTA service won't work until I reflash stock recovery. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks

no motorola does not publish these files except a few DEV files for Moto X
these are all leaked , but i have downloaded several and made Easy Installer(s) for them
see my signature - if your boot loader is unlocked you can flash these (i.e downgrade) upgrades can be done locked - I only have .14 DE available ( now making a .23) but its a 2hr download
heres your full firmware - sorry its a SLOW download - not under my control

Thanks. Yeah I couldn't find any official files or even a md5 /sh1 signature. That would be enough to authenticate the validity of the images. Motorola's website has a few images for Droid and X models as you mentioned but none for the G.
Back in my ios days I felt comfortable installing firmware originating from a few select groups of developers who were well known in the community and there seemed to be a good system in place for peer reviewing their code. Is there such a thing in the Android Community? I mean there's TeamWin, Cyanogen and the likes for mods, but for Stock people just install random files without knowing what's on it?

That means you flashed wrong fastboot ROM, that was not meant for your region/country or device model..
Now you have to find correct version of fastboot ROM.
Do you have any backup of stock ROM ?
EDIT: build version NPS26.116-61 was indian/asian update for december, definitely you are on wrong build.

The builds that end in #116-61 are all intended for India region.
The builds that end in #116-4X are all intended for North America.
These are all the builds I've written down since owning the Moto G5S Plus
Build: NPS26-116-45 Android 7.1.1 Security June 1, 2017
Build: NPSS26.116-48-9 Android 7.1.1 Security January 1, 2018
Build: NPSS26.116-48-12 Android 7.1.1 Security March 1, 2018
Build: NPSS26.116-48-15 Android 7.1.1 Security April 1, 2018
On Firmware Center you'll see some builds listed as NPS and some listed as NPSS. NPS means it's an original factory build. NPSS means it's an OTA update build.
To answer your question: if you live in North America, download and install the file that says NPS26-116-45. After you install it, go to 'settings' and 'check for update'. You'll immediately get an OTA update. Install the OTA update then 'check for update'. You'll get the next increment OTA update. Install and keep performing 'check for update' until you have the most recent build installed (build NPSS26.116-48-15 as of today).

Finally, I have installed the 116-4-5 RETAIL.
It seems to work perfectly until now! Now I have installed the security patches available today (the one from April is the last still in early june)

Hi bro! I also have latam version (XT1801) and I have to use the very same firmware you do, but I don't now how to install security patches manually. Maybe would you explain to me how?
I already have everything I need: VIPER4Android + libraries, Magisk, Xposed, but I have attempted -several times- to lock bootloader to receive them through OTA (of course before flashing everything I mentioned before ), but I got always errors through bootloader/cmd commands, so I definitely need to install those patches manually.
I really will appreciate all help you can give me. Thanks!

Hey everyone!
I still have installed the april security patch in my moto g5s Plus (mid june) and there is not a new one by OTA.
Are you with the same situation?
Does anyone have a different security patch (or even oreo) from OTA?
I'm from Latin America too, the last OTA Update that I received was April Security Patch.
My compilation number is: NPSS26.116-26-14
