I'm going to sound astonishingly ignorant, but I came here from owning a samsung, so bear with me...I know how to use flashtool to flash the system and kernel, but how do I flash the bootloader? It doesn't seem to show up in flashtool (I have everything in that folder) and I'd really, really hate to brick my toy..can someone explain it like I'm five?
NM-I just had to do some digging..<sigh> I should have known...

That is boot.img,connect your phone in fastboot mode,open flashtool and choose fastboot then select kernel to flash,then choose the boot.img.
Loading system is terminated at 15%, add a mirror.

just thought that i would let u guys know that there is an easy way to flash this...
after download just reboot into fastboot mode:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
and flash the system.img directly on the system partition
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
this will take a while
after flashing just reboot from bootloader!
Code:
fastboot reboot
thats it!
BTW after flashing this and rebooting into CWM recovery and wiping the /cache & dalvik-cache now Wifi & camera are working fine!!!
@OP
its always a good idea to provide the MD5HASH of the files you uploaded!
Tried it on my phone-didn't hurt anything, but no fix on the camera, either.

The md5 is shown on the Android file host download page. I always make sure I check what my local file md5 is compared to what the server says it is to make sure they match before I post anything. but yeah, the md5 is there. It's not my fault if people don't read the download page

Hey guys.
This is a guide on how to install official Android 8.1.0 "Oreo" on our beloved, forgotten, poor Moto G5s (montana). As you all may know, Lenovorola still hasn't released Oreo for everyone worldwide. Only a few Latin American countries are receiving the update, with Brazil due to receive it Soon™, since we've already received the August security patch (still Nougat though :/).
Update 2018.09.29: Brazil and India have also started receiving Oreo, but with a different build (OPP28.65-37-2).
However, this is Lenovorola we're dealing with, so I went ahead, captured the OTA and created a TWRP flashable zip, by patching the June firmware (NPPS26.102-49-11) with said OTA. And also, there's the standard .xml.zip to be used with fastboot, directly from Moto.
For those of you who want to keep everything stock, locked bootloader and all, I recommend going with the fastboot zip. For those who already have unlocked their phone's bootloaders and have TWRP installed, or are coming from a custom ROM but don't want to fiddle around with fastboot, you should use the TWRP flashable zip.
I can't stress this enough. ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR STUFF!!!! Do a TWRP backup (data, system, boot). I recommend backing up the contents of your internal storage as well. And for those willing to downgrade at some point, back up your persist and efs partitions, otherwise you'll lose IMEI!
Oh, and I assume you already have adb, fastboot and the Motorola USB drivers installed. In case you don't...
Motorola USB Drivers
Android SDK Platform Tools (includes adb & fastboot)
If you use Linux, you don't need to install any drivers, but you may have to configure udev to allow fastboot to detect your device. But that, along with telling how to configure adb and fastboot, is beyond the scope of this thread.
I don't know how things work in the Apple side, so kindly don't ask me how to do that on macOS.
This firmware should work on all Moto G5s models (XT1791/2/3/4/5/7). I can't tell if it works on model XT1799-2 (aka Green Pomelo / Qingyou).
A few warnings:
1. Forced encryption has not been disabled. So, if your phone is not encrypted, it will be encrypted again upon the very first boot. Don't interrupt the process, otherwise you'll lose ALL of your data! (You can flash @Zackptg5's dm-verity / forced encryption disabler if you want to)
2. Xposed doesn't work, whether it's installed to /system or via Magisk (systemless). I've already opened an issue on GitHub and am awaiting a reply.
3. (Fastboot only) Updating to this firmware will also update your bootloader and partition table. If you're unsure about that and/or afraid of a possible hard brick, skip the gpt and bootloader lines.
4. Please install the proper build for your software channel. For retbr and retin, use OPP28.65-37-2. For the other channels, go with OPP28.65-37.
5. If your phone's software channel is retbr or retin and you have already flashed the -37 build, you can simply dirty flash the -37-2 build over it. No need to factory reset / fastboot erase userdata.
With that out of the way, let's get to what matters most.

TWRP Flashable ZIP:
1. Download (duh)
2. Put the file at the root of your internal storage (/sdcard)
3. Reboot to TWRP
4. Do a factory reset (optional if coming from stock Nougat) and then format /system
(If your device is encrypted and you want to remove encryption, you will have to format /data and then flash the forceencrypt disabler I mentioned above after flashing the ROM)
5. Flash the zip
6. Reboot
7. Have fun

Thanks to:
@NZedPred for the excellent tutorial on how to build flashable zips based on stock firmware and/or OTAs
@Cesarcami53 for telling us that the update was out for retla
@erfanoabdi for his Motorola OTA Link Generator and IMG Patch Tools
@lohanbarth for mirroring the fastboot zips to AFH / Mega
In case I forgot someone, please do let me know.
F.A.Q. (Read this before crying!!!!)
Q: Why did you come up with this?
A: Because Lenovorola is pulling a Samsung, taking forever to officially deliver the Oreo update to everyone.
Q: ERMAHGERD DIS ROM SUCKZ, MAH BATTERY IS DEAD IN 30 MINS, PLZ HALP!
A: Please do blame Motorola, or yourself, or your apps' developers, but not me. I haven't got anything to do with that. I haven't changed anything.
Q: What works and what doesn't?
In theory, everything should work, and nothing should be broken, since this is a stock ROM.
Q: Will you add feature xyz?
A: No.
Q: Why no inbuilt root/Magisk/xyz/abc?
A: Because not. 1. There's something called freedom of choice, and that must be respected. / 2. I want to keep everything as bit-perfect as possible, and as close as possible to what you would get by flashing a real OTA.
Q: How do I report bugs?
A: If you wanna report a bug, send me a logcat. In case of a kernel panic, /proc/last_kmsg will help.
Q: How do I flash this?
A: I suggest you scroll up and read the OP. The instructions are there.
Q: How do I tweak this ROM?
A: For theming, there's full OMS/Substratum support. Xposed doesn't work, so no extra tweaks for now.
Q: This kid is such a n00b!
A: Oh well then, why don't you go do something like this yourself, instead of criticizing my work and wasting your time?
Reserved again
Oh look! Another reserved post!
And as a bonus, have this nice little dark boot logo from me, which hides that dreaded "N/A" and also "bad key" things. Extract the zip file and flash the logo3.bin file inside using fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo3.bin
Good Night Guys, if I install it for twrp will the installation fiddle with the bootloader?
Which security pet
Official or Soak test?

Hey man, I am so thankful that someone has found my guide and made something for another device.
Well done, and best of luck with this thread. :good:
I can tell you that this build work very well in european distribution (reteu).
Basicly everything work including sim and nfc(paying not tested yet)
The link with the Fastboot ZIP doesn't work for me, I guess I'm the unlucky one. Is there any chance that you can upload it elsewhere? Thanks.
Also not able to download, please offer another download Location!
Do I need to unlock my bootloader on Russian type of XT1794 to flash this firmware via PC?

No. Your bootloader will be updated if, and only if, you install via fastboot and actually execute the respective command.

This is the official firmware released for retla (Latin America). However, the soak tests in Brazil haven't finished yet. I'll update the OP with the link for the Brazilian firmware as soon as it's available.

Only if you're flashing via TWRP. If you're using fastboot, there's no need to unlock your bootloader, since this is an official firmware signed by Motorola.

I have the zip here, but uploading it using my home Internet connection would take ages. I'll do it next Monday, I'll use my university's connection. I can get 100+ Mbps transfer rates, so it should be really quick for a file this size (1.5 GB).

I mistakenly the wrong version of TWRP stuck itself in a boot loop and now I can't flash the correct version of TWRP OR the stock recovery img from fastboot.
output after attempting to flash:
Code:
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Sending 'recovery' (131072 KB) OKAY [ 3.270s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'Error flashing partition : Volume Full')
fastboot: error: Command failed
the device is unlocked
ive tried flashing the stock boot image, erasing the partition from fastboot and switching slots but i still cannot flash the recovery partition with the same error every time
any help at all would be greatly appreciated

You should firstly follow the "Fix corrupted fastboot/preloader partition" section from the guide.
If mtk-client is not detecting your device, then you may check if the drivers are correctly installed. If your device is not properly listed in device manager, then mtk-client nor other similar tool, will detect your device.

My phone's mainboard is burned after flashing and reboot this recovery
You just need to use miflash and re-flash stock, on my note 8 Pro it normalny works
We'll wait for the Android 11 based one. I bootloop-ed my phone trying it lol.
Hi!
I created a simple .bat script that roots poco m4 pro and redmi note 11s
Code:
/*
** Your warranty is now void.
**
** We are not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
** thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
** do some research before rooting!
** YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if

**/
Requirements:
1. Internet
2. Unlocked bootloader
3. Brain
Instructions:
1. Download magisk app from internet
2. Copy boot.img from your miui version to your phone
3. Patch boot.img with magisk app
4. When done, copy rooted image to computer
5. You MUST rename boot.img to rootedboot.img, if you don't rename it, the script simply won't work
6. Reboot phone to bootloader (vol+ & Power button)
7. Start the script
Code:
@echo off
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot rootedboot.img
fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot
rootdone.vbs
You can download already rooted boot.img from RKEMIXM 13.0.7.0 that is attached below (but only if you have global 13.0.7)
Download easyROOT below:
The script:
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot rootedboot.img
fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot
I can't recommend this.
It won't work, as you haven't included the vbmeta.img in your .zip.
But also, it's important to learn what you're doing when rooting your phone, and this is an extremely fragile solution that will only work if you have exactly the right device and firmware, have already unlocked your bootloader and enabled USB debugging, have installed the magisk app (at least, if you want anything useful from your root), have the right USB drivers installed, have the adb platform tools installed, etc.
This solution (if it worked) would go out of date as soon as Magisk or the system firmware is updated.

You are right! I edited it so now that zip have vbmeta, also i added which results can bring rooting
