Safe STOCK Oreo by Fastboot FULL flash:
download file from my gdrive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XWoaudSHAhQMWi3Au4wmtf2QaCrhugoD
Now to what matters...
Important!!! Only for RETAIL versions AMERICAS with working band base ending in ¨R¨, also for people who DID NOT mess up with persist and EFS...otherwise it is likely to loose IMEI...also....working for previous BRICKED devices that need to use Moto Z bootloader, but only RETAIL AMERICAS versions.
Anything else, please read and follow this post here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/moto-g5-plus-fastboot-flash-stock-oreo-t3848433
download and unzip file.
extract ROM folder and copy within very same folder the adb fastboot oreo g5+ folder and content extracted in same folder all together.
before going on, make sure you have motorola latest drivers installed, found in ADDONS, adbz folder, motorola device manager.
restart phone in bootloader, connect to laptop.
run file with name OREO G5 PLUS DE CERO.bat (spanish whatever), once done, unplug and restart phone.
should delay a few moments and go into setup.
additionally, you may want to install latest TWRP 3231 found in RECOVERIEZ folder.
additionally, you may want to flash motorola boot logo found in BOOT LOGOZ folder, to prevent the unlocked phone boring screen.
additionally, you may want to flash Magisk 17.1 in ROOTZ folder, only Magisk file, nothing else.
additionally, you may want to flash Kernels like Extended or EX found in KERNELZ folder.
some apps in APPZ folder that I use.
in REVIVALZ you may find files to bring bricked phone to life, but that is another history you may need to find out by reading posts.
in ADBz you can find extra folders for CMD commands.
This tuto is for knowledgeable people.
I have my device working fine in official stock again, however........BOOTLOADER STAYS FOR MOTOZ, meaning, you cannot take OTAS, reason for which locking Bootloader is unnecesary, recommended that once TWRP3231 is flashed, you may backup averything, all partitions, remember this is the last backup for official STOCK we will have from Motonovo.
For further updated official releases, just flash as regular in adb-cmd.

will it work on a latin american one? xt1680 currently on npn25.137-92 november patch unlocked bootloader. This is not my daily driver. If the flash of this oreo rom doesnt work, can i just reflash my npn25.137-92 firmware back? or will that not work?

Can you please clarify the above info. I have a U.S. x1687 that is still stock nougat that I'd like to upgrade to Oreo (since Motonovo screwed everyone with the August security update and lots of us are experiencing major battery drain issues!) . I'd like to remain completely stock if at all possible. Any way to update with the Moto G5+ bootloader?

Sorry, I still a bit confused. The text I quoted says "bootloader stays MotoZ". If I install this update, as is, will my bootloader be MotoZ or remain Moto G5+?
Thanks...
I have the US version (retus), bootloader unlocked, nougat 7.0 with August patch (NPNS25. 137-93-18). Can I use this method safely? Thanks
I do not know what else to say...just flash as edpalined if phone breaks then unbrick it reading other tutos sorry pals but seems you are not reading enough

Hi, great write up! I like how your zip is a one stop shop. I used the included Moto G5+ toolkit to flash the stock Oreo zip which worked perfectly. I down graded to stock 7.1 from custom 9.0 however I'm noticing while on official Oreo whenever I reboot the device it will TWRP loop back into recovery and the only way to get back in the system is to go to bootloader and boot to system. Anyone else had this happen and fix it?

I'm using RN5 chinese edition, but currently I'm using global stable rom.
I've just read that the new update will brick chinese phones running global stable rom. Is there any way to avoid the brick / recover from such thing?
Where did You read that ?
As far as i know, as long as you have unlocked bootloader you can install global mui on chinese device. Just leave your bootloader unlocked
Do not update before you unlocked the Bootloader.
Unlocked first then update.
If you see the problem (stuck in recovery mode).. You must flashing china rom first via fastboot metode. Then flash global rom...
I have tested. (Mee7s)

I see that you have MEE7S, which is the exact same device as the one I use.
So, did you succeed on upgrading the first time? Please tell me more. Do you use fastboot method (bypassing ARB first with dummy image or not) or how?

My phone gave me an option to update and it downloaded the image and then asked to restart so I did like have done in the past for v9 incremental updates.
It download the new ROM and I accepted the Restart Phone. After restarting I got a warning message at the bottom of the screen in red "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device" and the options are:
1. Reboot, which just brings me back to this same screen on startup.
2. Wipe Data. This goes through a wipe storage but it doesn't make any difference and just brings me back to the same screen after a restart.
3. Connect with MIAssistant. With MiPCSuite installed, it doesn't connect and just hangs.
Chatting to Mi Support, they tell me they don't recognise the phone even though I provided the IMEI number and the fact it is less than 1 year old. I bought it off Ebay new unused.
So now I have a bricked useless phone. Well done Xiaomi

Well it goes into Fastboot screen but just sits there. I remember it did one update when it was still MIUI 9 something earlier this year and right after that an annoying message would show up a few times a day near the top saying it wasn't an official Rom. I just touched on close and it would carry on working fine. The update to MIUI 10 was in settings, system update section.
Since then someone recommended flashing it back to v9 and using MI's rom flash app MiFlash I'm in the process of flashing it now. The small green progress bar has gone all the way to the end but in Result column it is still showing "Flashing". after 2 hours. Not sure if it's completed or not, will leave it alone for another few hours before rebooting it.

Is your device a chinese version with global rom and fake-unlocked bootloader ?
Which rom are you trying to flash ? China or Global ? ARB 4 or ARB 3 ?

What is fake-unlocked bootloader exactly? Currently I have it unlocked (from what I know), and am on MIUI global before the latest update. Probably ARB 4.
I'm low-key hesitant to upgrade, because I don't want to wipe my phone in case anything bad happen, and worse, bricking.
I'm in the UK and it was a Global Rom.

I wouldn't upgrade it if I were you, you might brick it too.
I'm trying to flash it with a rom, any rom would do to get it back to a working condition but I haven't been able to flash it. I'm using MiFlash, I've tried China, Global, both newer 10 versions and the 9 without success.
I'm not sure what you mean by ARB 3 and 4.
There seems to be 2 types of ROMs available to down load. One for MiFlash
i.e whyred_global_images_9.6.20_20190620.0000.00_9.0_global_006620721b and the 10.x version which has 1 folder called Images and a list of .bat files
flash_all.bat
flash_all_except_data.bat
flash_all_lock.bat and a dozen more files.
and another miui_HMNote5Global_9.6.20_9d5e732488_9.0 and Chgina rommiui_HMNote5_V10.3.1.0.PEICNXM_38eb804e2b_9.0
with
Folders Firmware-Update, META-INFO and compatabily.zip
a boot.img file and another 6 files. For instance system.new.dat.br, system.patch.dat

just follow this, use the flash-all to go back to stock then relock when its all set
unlocking/relocking wipes your data so backup whats necessary

Is this true? I'm seeing other posts says that you need to use the MSM tool in this scenario. Unfortunately, I only have a Mac so I can't run MSM.

Did you get this to work?
I Have tried this several times on my Tmobile version op7t and every time I get to step 7,8,9 and flash-all (with Indian version 10 or Global version10), I end up with my Tmobile Stock 10.3 version of Android, and the wifi does not work. The only way to get the wifi back is to MSMDownload Tool the original stock version which locks the bootloader back up and I'm back with TMobile version 10.3. I downloaded the Fastboot version they suggested. Any ideas why it's not working and reverting back to my original version of Android 10.3?

I was having a similar issue. Either the 10.0.9 version was the problem or I was making the error of manually navigating to the fastboot menu when a recovery type language select screen came up (black background with white logo and text). This screen would appear after flash-all.bat had mostly run through and the "Invalid sparse file format at header magic" was the latest output in command prompt.
What worked for me was to use version 10.0.8 and to not touch the phone until I saw the usual blue setup screen.

I used the Global build here. I followed this guide minus steps 1, 2, and rooting. I also downloaded and used the latest platform tools from google and I did not overwrite them at any step in the process.

OK thanks so much. Do you think it makes any difference what OS I start from before attempting to move to 10.0.8? Right now I'm on Tmobile 10.0.10.HD63CB, but I see an option for a minor OTA update to 10.0.11.HD63CB

SUCCESS!... Using 10.0.8 did the trick... and I was able to root with Magisk Canary as well. Now I can update to Global 10.0.12. THANKS SO MUCH.
UPDATE - I forgot that I have to re-root after updating OS to 10.0.12. I was able to do that using the latest boot img from this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...t-international-magisk-patched-t4053945/page5
If you're on oxygen os ,then just flash a downgradeable oxygen os rom by using the local upgrade feature ,then just use the all in one tool or try the fastboot comand of oem locking it should unroot your phone and relock the boot loader ,relocking doesn't work on latest version of oxygen os..
Hi, I have MIUI 11/ Android 10 11.0.1 (Indonesia ROM) installed on my device and I have rooted it successfully with Magisk without TWRP.
Let me Tell you some Main Points about this device after my months of experience and Lot of Research about this device.
- Latest official TWRP version doesn't work on this device, and device goes into bootloop. Doesn't matter whatever you do, You have to flash ROM again to prevent bootloop.
- After Flashing ROM or Magisk, You must need to disable AVB, to prevent bootloop, you can find the command on TWRP web.
- MediaTek Processor on this device isn't a mess now, as Kernel source code has already released by Xiaomi.
And there are number of developments have been done already to prevent device from brick.
- Cameras on this Device are Great from Hardware side, but Unfortunately MIUI stock cam is garbage, and can't produce Nice quality Pictures.
- I have personally bricked this device many times, and fortunately always found a solution to get out of the mess.
Anybody reading this post, has any type of question, can ask And I will try my best to Help him/her
Overall, This Device is a great Powerhouse and
I request Developers to Kindly plz continue Development regarding Camera and I hope Xiaomi.eu will support this device for their ROM's in near future
Regards,
Moaz-Qudeer

No, You can update software without worries it would b better if you're updating through OTA, otherwise .zip method is also safe, just make sure that you have removed root access from your device (if rooted) before updating.

This contradicts some reports on the Megathread. I strongly recommend against OTA and zip sideloading/recovery install, unless you're ok with losing anti-brick preloader.

Read my 1st post again, I already said developments have been done in this regard already and there are much less brick risks now, I updated my device Android 9>>10 with recovery .zip method by placing .zip file into "downloaded_rom" folder. And Let me mention that my device had Bootloader unlocked before updating you can check attached screenshot.

Yes, you can update Android 9 -> Android 10. The question is: Do you still have the factory preloader? Because that's what @Saadbinaamer was asking about. Otherwise, yeah, sure, you can update any way you want to Android 10.

Okay so I updated to MIUI 12; Android 10 (China Beta Rom). Though I have TWRP and Magisk installed but I don't have factory pre-loader anymore. I watched a YouTube video in which the uploader said that the new factory pre-loader will be available soon for the said Android version and the former one can't be used.

I don't know about MIUI 12, as I said already, I have MIUI 11, Android 10 Installed.
My Phone is HARDBRICK and haven't installed preloader lk
How you Unbrick your device without preloader instal before..? In Android 9...
there should be clear tutorials and in execution order because often not very clear and people will not understand everything
I'm trying to update my Redmi Note 8 Pro global from 12.0.8 to 12.5.1 manually since it doesn't find new updates no matter what i do.
I downloaded the ROM and selected it in "Choose update package", it tries to verify the update for a few seconds then just show me the message "Can't verify update. Couldn't verify update package." or "Can't verify update. Can't flash this stable ROM."
I tried to install it via USB flashing it with mi flash tool, still got the same message.
Does anyone know a fix for this, or at least why this is happening? Any help are appreciated.
Unlock bootloader, download the appropriate ROM for your version of smartphone (fastboot version), delete the check from the flash bat and you can flash. First try flashing, see if it boots. If everything is OK, you can try flash and lock.

is there any way to do this without unlocking bootloader?
If you are scared of losing the warranty, you wont once you relock the bootloader. Any other way, you ve tried it and it didn't work

It's not about the warranty, it's about my bank apps that might not work with the bootloader unlocked.
I'm going to do some research on how to unlock and lock the bootloader, as I didn't know it was possible to lock it again. Thank you for your help!

I fear that you might have misunderstood me. You cannot relock the bootloader while running a modified stock rom/custom rom. You can only relock the bootloader on a stock rom.

Are you running the latest stock version of your rom? Then, if you plan on using a smartphone with a locked bootloader, you already are. With a locked bootloader you won't get unofficial updates.

The rom from Xiaomi.eu is a custom rom. Xiaomi.eu is a group of enthusiasts who modify the stock Xiaomi rom, adding and removing features. Make no mistake, that's a custom rom. Close the bootloader with that one installed and you hard brick your device. The method I told you is the official one, which makes downgrading and upgrading your phones super easy. Now, if you want to flash a different version of the stock rom to your phone and lock the bootloader afterwards, be careful. There were reports that nothing happened and everything worked, but unfortunately not that many. A different stock rom might have a different cell tower reception, not adjusted to your country. So you might get less reception.

Hey today my phone unlocks so i will be doing the update. I just wanted to ask that on website:- https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/apollo/ there is miui updates (i downloaded a fastboot 5.2g latest one 12.5.10.0) and firmware of 150mbs. So i have to install both firmware and miui rom? Or just stock miui rom? I read somewhere that firmware is for user which come from very old stock rom to latest one. So how to install firmware?
