Hi!
I am thinking about updating my Moto G5 cedric to oreo, but I have a couple of doubts before starting.
I am on stock, so which is the best way of upgrading given my situation?
Especially my doubts are about my software channel and build number.
Thanks to everyone in advance!
I think rooting and flash oreo twrp is the best way to 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

Hi! Same problem here. i found an answer for this question on another forum but it'n not good.
"The A520F is on android 7 and so you are asking for a downgrade to 6.0.1.
This may not be possible if the secure bootloader has been updated."
I tried many older roms. i can downgrade in 7.0 versions but 7.0 to 6.0 not working.
And why do you want to downgrade? I seen many posts about this problem.
My reason is i think my camera is more slower after updates. i went to a shop and compared my updated phone with a j5 2017 and the j5 2017 was much faster and smoother. my camera refresh rate seems lower and the focusing is very slow.
I don't understand the manufacturers why touch something whats working well. This is one year old mobile with many patches. after every update, things look worse.
Maybe we will get oreo updates with better compatibility. or somebody will make a better custom rom.
Hi
I am a very non-tech-savvy person and i have been using stock rom from always. I was always afraid of getting myself into some issue which won't be reversible. But now i have gathered some courage in installing a custom rom such as lineage os.
I have LG V20 H910 (att version) and it is on stock rom. I tried rooting it with kingoroot but it failed. Then i searched for its solution and came to know that V20 cannot be rooted by these software because its bootloader is locked and it needs special way. Well i didn't try and continued using stock rom.
Then i came to know that V20 is in the process of getting android 8 update soon from a android authority forum and i am still waiting.
I posted before in V20 forum that i am on a very old version of android 7 with patch level of December 2016 in this thread.
I am now thinking of installing the lineage os 14.1 which is the latest for my model. I tried searching for known bugs and issues and came to know that lineage os for h910 doesn't support second screen as of yet. Is there any solution or workaround for this? Because i love using the second screen.
2ndly i wanted to ask, if i unlock the bootloader and root the device, can i install the international version of v20 rom or it is not possible.
Please help me with these. I will be very thankful to you for your honest help.

I don't have this device but, your better off obtaining device specific guidance either from the following Official LineageOS thread or the Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

Hi,
I have a Moto G5S which i had to replace the screen couple of months ago So i purchased a screen on ebay being advertised as OEM.
Replacing screen went well and all was working fine till phone was updated to Oreo 8.1 (OTA update).
Now touchscreen is not working.
Phone was not rooted and all was original OS.
I have done a bit of reading and not sure i know what to do.
Is it possible to downgrade to Nougat !?? Has anyone else had this issue? what is the solution please?
Thanks

By the way, don't attempt to flash Nougat firmwares if you've already installed the Oreo OTA update. It'll brick your device. This includes Nougat custom ROMs.
