Hello fellas,
I've Moto Z2 Play update to Oreo, April patch. My bootloader was unlocked then I lock the bootloader these days, works fine. But, when I boot to bootloader it's show "oem_locked" but not show Official Software as well.
So, It's possible to downgrade to last build Android nougat then OTA update to Oreo ? I think it's fix and show the Official Software.

Hello, I don't want to upgrade to Android 7.1.2, but I want the latest (April) security update for Android 7.1.1.
Is this possible without root?
Otherwise it's a shame.

Google still provides 7.1.1 with the latest security updates. If you want to go the OTA route that doesn't require wiping data, follow the directions at the top of the page in the first link.
all OTAs
direct link to 7.1.1 OTA with April security update

I have a dual sim reteu with locked bootloader. After upgrading to 7.1.1, my hotspot is not working.
Actually, I didn't check hotspot before 7.1.1.
Anyone with the same problem. Or Anybody knows how to fix it? Thanks
You installed beta software, with that comes the risk of losing certain features. Android 7.1.1 hasn't been released officially by Motorola.

Sorry if I changed the subject, I'm still on android 6.0.1 (retla). You mean the OTAs that have posted are soak test? If so, I prefer to keep trying to get the official OTA. But I have the doubt, you mean 7.1.1, maybe the 7.0 that is in the forum if it is stable? If so, you can pass the official OTA link of 7.0. Thanks for your help
How to downgrade Android 7.1 tô android 7.0 ?? Do i need to unlock my bootloader to do this??
Yes. You need.
My advice: Be careful what you do. Downgrading bootloader did hard brick later when updating on some Z Play. The most harmful switch between bootloader versions may be 7.0 patchlevel 3/17 versus 4/17, but I am not sure.
i received this ota on my redmi note 5 pro indian model, but as soon i flashed this, my device got decryted!! now i am on the previous build, and it is not showing any ota, does anyone else experienced that?
Xiaomi are messing around. #rollback Companies upgrade from nougat to oreo they are rolling back to nougat. Hope bugs on aosp are fixed quickly specially camera for Indian variant so that i won't have to use miui again on the device
Got the update should i download it or not any advice??
I'm on stock rom with locked bootloader so no problem for me to download this update. Will just wait for the oreo update when ching-chong release it.
Hey, so I have the Canadian A5 2017 and have not received the Oreo update yet, once Its available for my phone i was planning on switching over to a custom Rom running Oreo 8.1 (can't yet since there's no oreo modem/boot loader available for my phone as far as I know). Just curious if it would be easier to root my phone now while it's on nougat and then install a custom Oreo Rom myself once the modem/bootloader are available?, or should I wait until I receive the Oreo OTA update and then root it after? Believe I read that there s a new boot loader lock of some sort that was introduced in the new new oreo that makes it a bit of a pain to unlock the boot loader. Also my phone is completely stock
Thanks for your help
Rooting on oreo is just a bit more difficult than nougat because of the rmm state, but there're a lot of way to bypass it easily. If you're on N just root without OTA updating oreo, but I don't know how many custom roms running stable oreo 8.1 exist. I had LineageOS 15.1 unofficial for A5 2017, great features but too buggy. Just look for something more stable
Obviously to flash a custom rom you need a custom recovery, but I think you knew it yet
