Never thought i would see the day.
Its patched it to the May security release which seems a bit behind the times still.
I was as shocked as you were, creation date 6th June, personally wonder why they bothered considering update content.
Ray
Standby time seems to be very much improved, a 2% drop over night and that was it.
Can I apply the update with my device being rooted with magisk or do I need to uninstall magisk first? Saw somewhere people using flashfire but I am not sure if I need to apply it from there as I have twrp installed. Grabbed the update so will upload.

Don't tell anyone but it was a joke, the UK was seemingly ignored for months then 2 updates in 2 weeks.

Some guy on fb said that by the end of December or at the first week of January, we'll start getting Oreo. I can't believe that but I may be wrong

Someone's grandma's uncle's cousin said on twitter that it'd be out tomorrow. But who knows...
Lol seriously people...
Since August, I've been receiving at least one update EVERY month.
This one is out - and it's not even the end of November.
Its unprecedented! Anyone else? I think Samsung is doing very well. And the phone is better with battery usage after every update.
I'm very impressed... anyone else?
November....
Wow.
December security update!
They're like clockwork now.
And....where's everyone gone?!
I also received the update today. 2 updates in a single month from Samsung!

I'm like....What's going on? Am I awake? ?
Still... it's good, no?
And my phone is running like silk.
Onward.
I confirm. I get one update each month with the date of security level set on the first day of the previous month.
Another one!
Loving it!
So much infact I just got my front and back screen replaced.
New-Found respect for my S6+!
Is the latest one from 1st January 2018?

It would be the same one just issues on a different day. It's January though.
Amazing.... The S6 Plus is updating faster than the Mate 9, OnePlus 3T & 5T, the HTC U11, the Xiaomi Mi6 & the S8 Plus.

From a marketing standpoint it is really amazing, cause Samsung made S6E+ too good. They would normally bury a too good phone.

Of all the phones I'm carrying, the S6 edge plus is the only one getting updates every single month.
On time. Like clockwork.
It's pretty amazing.
Even my partner's 8+ is nowhere near it.

I read your reply today and I've checked if I have an update waiting for me aswell and it turns out although we live in different countrires in EU thre's an sec. update waiting for me.... about the same size.
But this one is strange. Even if full LTE signal It downloads very slowly. I wonder why?
BTW you have nice theme. Do you beleive I'm still runninng the stock defaut theme..... gosh...
I'm sure (I hope) You all (especialy XDA users) know the theory of making a device worse in performance (more lagging, lessm battery life etc.) by hidding a spcial code in sec. updates.
Well maybe that's what Samsung is doing cause like I've told You a thousand times S6E+ is (maybe until S9) the pbest fone release yet.
To motivate ppl to upgrade even from S8 Samsung may start rolling out bad updates.
Today I've talked to a guy that suddenly, 2-3 days after the premiere of S9/S9+ saw that his S8 has suddenly slowed down. He didn't install any new apps or did nothing unusual. Even didnt get the Oreo update.
Think about that.
I've isntalled the sec update. Have now from 1st Feb 2018 and for some time I see that espcially the battery life is going suddenly down.
You need to know that since I purchaed the phone I used it only once a month. Latley 4 times a month. Never installed more apps than 5. Even a loooong time ago after purchase I got rid of Microsoft apps and some other non Google and non Samsung.
Something fishy is about that.
WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK about this situation with these updates?
Is there any way of getting security patches while using a custom rom?

Good question but I estimate 90% the answer would be NO
Before we begin: NO, I WILL NOT PROVIDE A ZIP HERE.
OK, now when thats out of the way, lets Start with the most asked questions about Stock oreo for Moto G5.
1: Q: "Is the Beta out yet?"
A: Not yet, but very soon, as the Moto G5 MFN requests have Been accepted.
2: Q: "Can you provide the OTA ZIP?'
A: No, because
1:Its illeagel
2: Its made for a specific IMEI
3: It may damages your device.
3: Q: "How do we find out if Oreo Beta out? Using OTA?"
A: You cant find out if your Device's Bootloader is unlocked and if you didnt join MFN using this link:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Forum-...or-the-Motorola-Feedback-Network/td-p/3064626
Then, when the day comes, you get Oreo Beta if you are on Stock and have Bootloader unlocked at that momement.
4: Q: "I dont care about illeagel stuff how do i get the ZIP extracted?"
A: You cant!
Because you only recieve the update if youre Bootloader locked. Thus you cant access /cache. Unlocking the Bootloader after you downloaded the Update erases Cache and Userdata (as we all know)
5: Q: "So... Will Oreo ever come out?"
A: Of course it does! Just give motorola time!
I will edit this thread when More questions get asked.
You can disguss and ask questions here, but look at your grammar and think twice before asking something.
Thanks, P8tgames :good:
Nice, can't wait to see news about the beta for our device
Hope it comes out quick
Truly excited.
I suppose there might be a way if someone runs a traffic detector on his/her network and grabs the OTA link...
(By the way, check some typos in the first post, it says things like "illeagel").
Oreo? We will get a lousy November security patch update first. So Oreo maybe in March or April, I bet.

I got my g5 yesterday and it only has august 2017 security patch, so a 1 day old phone for me has only a 5 months old security patch available in it... I came from a G4 Play forgotten by motorola after they promised G4 Play users an update to android 7.0 more than a year ago and never delivered.... looks like I've fallen in the same trap again, damn.

The beta or soak test for our moto g5 should be close, the X4, Z, Z2 force, Z2 play and Z play have receive oreo or at least the soak test.. the only remaining phones are the original Z force and then all the G5 family

I can't add my device by that link..
It continue says that unable to retrieve your device info...?
There isn't any official announcement but. Seeing the pattern of providing update and the maintenance release notes for June patch. no one can expect Oreo till August/September as. It would take July to get updated security patch on every retail channel after which they will release another release which MAY be oreo. Which would actually take another month for full implementation.
Though I have created a tagline for Moto
"Lie like a pro
Lie like Moto"

Cause It's in the news section and it's a news Sir.
As you can explicate the news as anything which is relevant to certain group or community and affect a large no of person is news.
Why are you still expecting after all this time!? They are not interested in giving Updates. Just Install any Custom Rom and Move on, because the discussion on this topic looks trash now!
Motorola os offcially releasong when the see the overall sales of G6 family has already satisfy / met expectations....or....nothing at all and theres no more options to release oreo...also..expect oreo release when Android P comes to everybody....im moving from Motonovo and going forward to Xiaomi or Huawei or Google Pixel or even back to HTC

I get your frustration with Motorola, but Huawei is much worse. They put out a public statement about major upgrades and patching and then did neither. Customer support was horrible.
Moto may suck, but Huawei sucks much more.
My 2 cents....

True. And this is nothing compared to Samsung.
S7 Oreo update: Buggy. Stopped. Two times.
S8 Oreo update: Buggy.
A3 Oreo update: Bootlooping.
Hell, I would never buy a Sammy.
Better a late and stable update than a quick and buggy one.

This was days ago. Guys, calm down! About 20 threads in the news and q&a section about Oreo.
I had do unbookmark these threads because every day someone opens another thread with NO information and I get pinged. Please start opening theads when something really happens. I would like to receive Oreo too but these "news" doesn't help anyone. Nothing against this OP, it's the mass that is annoying.

I really want to, but those camera bugs on Oreo custom roms annoys me, so I'm using stock rom again and one reason that I bought this phone months ago is because Motorola said that it was going to update to Oreo, which is frustrating to not seeing it yet.
Oreo will happen.
It's just a matter of when?
We're just lower down the priority list than newer phones (like any other manufacturer).
We should hopefully be next after Moto G5S, so watch for when that starts rowling out.
G5:
https://support.motorola.com/us/en/Solution/MS130766
G5+:
https://support.motorola.com/us/en/Solution/MS130856
Moto just published Oreo release notes for the G5 possibly for another soak test, I suspect it was also by accident like the one before (for G5s).
Since the G5+ notes have also been released, it could be that this is the final release and all bugs have been squashed with internal testing. I didn't see them posting release notes for soaks before.
Just gonna have to wait and see untill someone gets a notification, official or soak.
finally moto... guess if everything goes OK we'll see an official rollout by the end of july
