yes, but you also need to flash the stock recovery. after you get the OTA, you can unlock and install TWRP again.

Guide [Simple]: OTA update with rooted and unlocked

Hi,
This guide is based in my first post about how to do it with the Moto G4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4/how-to/guide-simple-ota-update-rooted-unlocked-t3510126
(Read it for full info).
Then, here the updated info for the Moto G5+:
1) If you are in NPN25.137-33 and like to apply the last OTA, but you have rooted and/or flashed a custom recovery (TWRP) + custom kernel, then you can.
2) Requirements: original SYSTEM and BOOT partitions. If you have flashed another version, then restore the originals. You can use any backups from you, or you can download from here: http://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6-Tz_7kDyxsZnVNa0pldnhndG8
(Thank you to GtrCraft: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72387571&postcount=15)
3) To apply the OTA download this ZIP and install it from the TWRP recovery (it's not required to have the TWRP flashed, you can start it from the fastboot util): http://www.sendspace.com/file/7w75rw
This file is the original OTA (shared by the user olive23) and patched by me to remove the check for the fingerprint of the running firmware. Then it can run over the TWRP.
Warning: Don't install this OTA if you don't have the exact version of the required firmware.
4) After install the OTA, reboot and check the new version. At that point the ROM isn't rooted. Then, you need to re-root.
That's all!

Tried flashing and it fails.

You need stock recovery to flash OTA's

Isn't that the point of this post? He said he patched the OTA update so it could be flashed with TWRP.

Well the OTA isn't meant for reteu firmware. So that will bring problems with it

Because isn't for your device OR you have modified SYSTEM or BOOT.

Installing TWRP and rooting doesn't change the SYSTEM or BOOT right? Must just not be for my device then. I have the US 4gb model (XT1687)

Probably. This OTA is from user "olive23".
I don't have (still) received any OTA in my XT1685 (EU 3/32).

I have the same US model and this is supposed to be for it but it didn't work for me either, got errors during flash of OTA zip in TWRP that various partitions weren't accessible &/or verifiable. Even tried it a second time after a full restore to stock and had similar errors. I restored SYSTEM too (not sure that our rooting process works for systemless yet, meaning it would change SYSTEM), so that wasn't the problem in my case. Restored stock again and will wait to see if I get OTA normally.

So did you get this OTA normally as a system update, indicating that we should be receiving it now?

I got the update weeks ago. I've been postponing until someone makes it's flashable. I ripped it from my phone when I got it so yes, it's from my phone.

Thanks. I wonder why I haven't gotten anything and had phone since it came out on 3/31. I'm on NPN25.137-33 with a 4GB XT1687 from Amazon ($299 full-price without ads) on AT&T if carrier matters. Rooted or not we should still get the notifications as you have.

Yeah I got mine the day it came out from amazon, using on Verizon.

Here is a flashable stock zip based on reteu firmware:

U have*67 files??

Same Here
US variant XT1687 4/64GB on Sprint but no OTA notification. Maybe I should just wait another week before flashing this. Not sure if there is something in the SIM the server notices and stops updates on some carriers. But maybe the SIM is how they decide, not sure what else they could go by other than IP to detect the carrier.

I also have XT1687 4/64G US on 25.137-33 + root & TWRP, and no OTA notification.
So, is there a way to go to -67 (flash over TWRP, restore back to -15 stock)?
I could not understand the right answer from all the thread on the subject.

Sorry for this noob question: I have just rooted a brand new phone. After the first login the OTA warning popped out so I downloaded it. When finished I got a loop on the recovery; I fastbooted boot and got my phone working again ... what do I have to do? Thanks.

You can upgrade with root no problem. You have to reroot

AFIK this is not a full firmware update.
It's a small incremental OTA update, it will fail to update a rooted firmware.

Correct, it won't update. Although I have twrp installed and not stock recovery so I don't know if that causes more issues. I didn't pull the stock recovery before flashing either so can't test with that.

So with the 6.2 update can it still be rooted? All the guides I have read are for 6.0 but nothing is said about 6.2

Yes, you can. You will, however, have to flash TWRP and Magisk for root after the update, that is, if you want custom recovery and root.

Cannot update to Oreo

I cannot update to Oreo on my Sprint variant. I was rooted with TWRP but did the flash all back to stock. I am unrooted, stock recovery, with unlocked bootloader. I have tried through update.zip, sideload, and the normal way through the settings and they all fail. I successfully updated the normal way with the last 2 updates that were released, but no luck with this one.

Very weird as I was in the same predicament as you with being rooted with twrp & having to use flash all to go back to stock, but I was able to take the Oreo ota with no problems afterwards.

It's like the system and recovery don't have access to the storage at all.

Which flash all did you use? mine updated just fine with that file doing adb sideload file/name/here when selecting the option for update via adb. How long did it take before the error. It takes awhile for the update to go through. (roughly the same time or longer than updating in android. my time was about 12mins.

It got to 47% then started to flash and then the error that's for the sideload. As for the update.zip and applying it, it fails instantly.

So, you flashall and then it doesn't take Oreo but all others? Sounds like something is really messed up on your device then. Did you flash a modified logo bin?

That isn't one of the flash all's in the thread. You need to run the bat file. Depending on the one you use you should go to the August or September security patch.

I am trying that one again. Factory reset didn't help either.

I did the flashall to 122-59-8. Now I am updating to 122-59-8-6

Which version of the bootloader? If the Oreo bootloader then perhaps this will result in an error.
If you installed Oreo Global or TMO after that, the bootloader will be upgraded to Oreo, perhaps this will lead to an error.

So I did the flashall, updated all the way through and it worked. It was the same flash all I did before because I already had it downloaded. Thanks for helping, sucks I had to wipe, but it is what it is.

Wow, must've been some kind of bad flash previously? Either way glad that you've finally joined the rest of us!
