Can't see the Oreo update anymore! - Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers

Hello all, I currently have the stock 7.1.1 on my G5S+ Italian version.
Some days ago I received the notification for 8.1, so I accepted to download but it stopped at the beginning because the available space was less than 1.2 GB.
I made immediately the space available and tried again in system settings to get the update, but now I can't find it anymore!
In the system information my phone is always declared already up to date with its 7.1.1 (security patch level 1st June 2018).
Of course I already rebooted, but is there any other thing I can do?
Thank you

Why not you try to download and sideload it to your phone and check for the update again.. Please refer to this thread.

Thank you but I would prefer to let the FOTA work in this case..

I'd recommend not updating... Wifi has become pathetic as it's dropping signals frequently. I see the launcher is consuming too much battery.
7.1.1 was way better. Wish I'd never updated

Received an F/W update from Samsung Yesterday!!! India

Hi All,
Im on the Official ICS ROM INDIA...4.0.3 DDLP4
Yesterday, when i checked kies, there was an update waiting (No Update on OTA). The downloading of firmware was taking ages to download(3.2mbps connection) and after about 70 percent the downloading stopped and Kies said "Connection stopped"....
Any body who has downloaded the F/W can you please post the change log (If you find any).. I mainly wanna know, if the laggness of the lock screen and slowness to open contact's and capturing pics has been rectified.

Ah glad that i have company.sad at the same time!! Even i have the same problem after the 7mb OTA update. The andriod process closes often and hangs the phone.The phone was literally unusable. Hence i tried to install custom gingerbread rom on it. Now its almost completely bricked.How irresponsible is samsung to roll these things out without testing it thoroughly.
***PLEASE DON'T INSTALL THE 7MB ICS OTA UPDATE***
hopefully we can save some.
I also tried to update through OTA but it was failed and message popped up that do update through Kies. Now I got update through Kies and my firmware changed from DDLP4 to DDLPA. However I lost Root.
I also received the update notification. Downloaded the 7.8 mb update within a minute and asked for reboot. Everything worked fine and nothing special noticed. It just changed the build no. from IML74K.DDLPA to IML74K.DDLP8

you mean LP8 to LPA? check your kernel version date. if it shows 12 June then fine, else your kernel has not been updated.
Hey guys basically its stability update. my phone feels much smoother now. i updated OTA via wifi, i also faced update not installed issue and i found out the problem, basically we all root our device that means we change SU binaries so when updating phone OTA it checks for those binaries and if these binaries are not official OTA update get aborted. i solved this problem like this,
1) I have downloaded STOCK LP8 firmware from samobile.com when it released
2) As my phone is rooted my SU binaries are changed so OTA update is aborted.
3) So FLASHED Stock rom LP8 from PC ODIN which kept my all DATA, APPS intact i just lost my root and some mods like 15toggles status bar and so..
4)then i started updating my phone using S/W update in settings, its 7.85MB file.
5)In few minutes my phone is updated to LPA
6)Now i again rooted my phone and my all data apps are intact and mob is much improved in stability.
Hope this will help you guys.

kernel is definitely updated in LPA. just flash LPA ROM file using Odin.
I also agree with what mullarameez has pointed out. rooting might be the reason for kernel being skipped. because if u flash LPA with odin you will lose root and hence get the new kernel.
Is there a way to update Kernel without flashing the whole 650 mb rom?
with all the issues in ICS, i think it would be safest if you would flash using the whole LPA ROM. I know its a pain to download but worth it in the end.
OMG! just a 7Mb update took 2hrs to download.. Hmmmm...
My main prob was with Lock screen, camera and contacts.. Noting has been resolved on this new Update!!!
what is the issue? is it lag?
This is confusing..
I have everything stock on my phone..All updates done OTA since i bought the phone..Not rooted..
Still the kernel says 12 May after the 7mb update..Why?? Although the deep sleep issue (sore point for me) seems to have been resolved after this update...
PS: The build info after *#1234# says 12 June, if that matters..
yes, almost all the users who updated OTA have the same issue. you may flash the new LPA using PC Odin from doc's post (anyways you're not rooted so no problem)

Issues with android security patch level

Hello everyone.
I`ve got rooted Nexus 6 with Franco kernel. From time to time it shows system security updates, which I install`s. But I notices on my android security patch level stops on January 2016 and still want to install February updates. Everytime N6 tries to install February updates. Does anybody know whats going on? Maybe it`s because I locked with security password on my twrp? After rebooting twrp show`s and I really dont know are updates installed well. I quess not. Can someone help?
And another question, does this android security updates will remove my root?

Security updates will not work; unless the device is completely stock.
You should look at installing the OTA from this page - instructions are provided. If you want to retain the kernel,TWRP & and root you'll have to re-flash them when you're finished.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota
If you're unencrypted (I'm not - I prefer the security to an extra 10 minutes of battery life) do some reading first - I'm not sure how the OTA works with an unencrypted device. Maybe other members can advise both of us on this point.
Thx for answer`s.
Correct me if I wrong, but I`ve got stock rom, but with Franco kernel, and root, but it`s still stock, right? Does this could be a reason? All my data are encrypted, so maybe this could be a reason ( however after every update reboot I decrypt`s my data), I`ll switch off encrypting my N6 and try again update it.
----------EDIT------------
Guess, NLBeev was right. I can`t make an OTA update when my N6 is rooted, only manually method. I really afraid of this manually updates, because of losing something from my phone, or even brick it.
fear is something that xda can not help you with. itll happen through out life, in many situations. the only thing that you can do is deal with it and move on.
I manually update mine every update and have yet to have an issue.
I f you're encrypted (good!) then my earlier concern is irrelevant. Sideload the newest OTA at the link I gave you. I've done it now several times with two Nexus 5s and a Nexus 6. It's quick and simple and doesn't touch your data.
But I still always take a TWRP backup first and copy it to my laptop. Can't be too careful...
Once again thanks for help! I`ll try install them manually, as fast as I make backup by twrp.
Ach, I forgot, last question, which update should I download? I`ve got January system security updates, so should I download every single one by one? Or just last one (July 6.0.1 (MOB30O))?
Regards!
By "manually' do you mean extracting the separate components (system, radio, boot...)? I strongly recommend the OTA sideload method. Fast and simple, with no data loss.
You need only do it once. Download the MOB30O OTA and sideload it. Then if you want you can flash TWRP and root.

Need Help about MM Security Patches

Good Evening! I opened this thread to ask if someone could give me an hopinion about a problem I had on mu Nexus 6 after going back to MM from Android N preview. So today I unenrolled my device and I received a Marshmallow OTA, which was said to be the last one available. But as soon as I updated my Nexus, I saw they sent me the OTA with July's Security patch. I tried to wait and see if september's update would show up but nothing in 2 days. Is it normal and have I just to wait or is it a problem? Have you had same experiences?
P.S. I wiped data and everything soon after updating back to MM.
Does it matter if it's the July patch? These security issues are not those that normally happen to users who don't download warez apps. Use Google Play, and you're safe.
But if you want the most recent version, the download the latest OTA from the Google OTA page, and sideload it.

Yes, you're actually right about it, security patches are more or less the same for normal users. Let's say, my first worry is about Android Nougat update, because my stock updater does not seem to work properly these last days after I went back to MM. So I thought it might be a matter of time.

Security Update - M1D65H

This may be the last 1.x Update with Security Updates only.
Can be downloaded here:

you never know, releasing this secuirty update after 2.0 would make no sense either. maybe they quickly pushed this last security update to get 2.0 on the road very soon.
I had issues with the battery percentage not showing properly after this update. It took several reboots and I am still suspicious of the value it's showing now.

Hopefully that's last patch for MM, 2.0 should be any day now
i've got this update as well just today.Yet, it's 1st February update, so the next one hopefully should be AW 2.0
is this the update i just installed on the watch right now? it seems like its taking a long time to upgrade for just a security update
Is the update still available? On my watch it fails to download. Also the link for the package doesn't seem to be working either.

The link works. I just tested it with my phone and last night before my previous post. It might be blocked on your side.
Works here too, What I used to update my watch :good:
You are right, I can download the file using another ISP. Thank you.
Hi, thanks for the link.

Currently I have M1D63G and using "adb sideload <package.> it is getting failed after 43% - in verifying package.
help me
how to disable update ota via cmd ?
Hello,
I did the downgrade from AW2 to (the best!) AW1.5 with MEC23G version.
Trying to update with the lastest AW1.5 version M1D65H (downloaded from this topic), using ad sideload but even looks like everything went okay, I still in MEC23G.
Does anybody know why or what I need to do to get the latest AW1.5 update?
Thanks

Can't update

I made the mistake of installing TWRP and Magisk before updating, and all I get is the "update unsucessful" screen, so now I'm stuck with 7.1.1 on my Android One Moto X4.
I found a factory image of Oreo on firmware.center (can't link it here because new user, but the filename was PAYTON_FI_8.0.0_OPW27.57-25-2_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip) for my device, and would like to know if it's safe to use and how to install it (sites seem to give conflicting information). This thing is brand new, so I'm a bit nervous about messing it up.
Hey, just try this Guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/development/flash-official-frmware-moto-x4-t3730750
And use this ROM as it is current Oreo with March Security patch: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939834159
If you have further issues feel free to ask again

One last thing, that guide mentions using mfastboot, where do I get it? Is it any different from the regular fastboot?
No it's just normal fastboot.
Flashed it, works great! Thank you! (However, Android File Host was having issues and it took multiple times before a successful download)
