Some Brazilian users of G4+ are starting to receive invitation to "test drive" a new software
I am from India, and i too received this test drive email, but unfortunately i discarded my g4 plus 4 months back and moved to nokia 7 plus.

Are you signed up to the Motorola Feedback Network? https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Forum-...for-the-Motorola-Feedback-Network/m-p/3064626
Usually to receive these emails, you have to be a member and also have been selected at the time they are recruiting for the soak test. These emails, as I understand it, are linked to the user they're sent to, so you won't be able to sign on with another user's email. Of course, if you sign up to the Motorola test drive, please be responsible and report bugs that you encounter to Motorola.
Failing that, the soak test (if this is the soak test) may be leaked here on XDA. If it is leaked, be aware that there may be bugs and if you flash this soak test without being part of the Motorola Feedback Network, you may get no further soak tests or any updates unless someone captures the rest of the soak test updates. Until we know more about this update, downgrading back to Nougat may be risky and there may be a risk of hard bricking your device.
@echo92 remembers me at the time of the nougat soak test where no blank flash files were available. People flashed soak test, thinks won't work as expected, they flashed back stock mm rom and... Brick
Hope that people are more aware of this risk nowadays....

Oh, I hope so too - it was not fun (and still is not fun) telling users that they may have a fancy paperweight - even if our device is over 2 years old by now. Those times on the G4 Plus forums were crazy too... I also have a feeling that upon release of this Oreo OTA soak test or the official soak test, the existing blankflash may not work anymore. Motorola appears to have built in further protections or updated the bootloader to not permit older blankflashes to be used (as seen on the Moto Z Play: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77360506&postcount=385 )
Code:
[ 0.210] Waiting for firehose to get ready
[ 3.215] Target NAK!
[ 3.215] ...This version of programmer has been revoked!
[ 3.215] ...Rebooting to blank flash mode in 30 seconds...
In other words, be very, very careful if you downgrade your firmware and use OTA updates.
I'm from India, I've also received test drive email, but I'm already on custom rom
I also received this email, after I received and replied. After that, does it take too long to release the system? I'm from Brazil.
I am signed up for MFN and Oreo soak test and did not receive any email.
Any chance someone can share a copy of the soak ROM image?

If this is a soak test, then from the other soak tests, it's likely a couple of weeks to recruit the testers, then the test may run for a couple of months, during which you'll be issued various soak test updates. Depending on what bugs are reported, the official OTA may be released then or be delayed for further testing.
@echo92
I may sound silly or like a noob. But i wanna ask something.
If moto gives oreo update, will that enable "treble" in our device.?
Or in other words will this update be helpful in anyway for treble.? so that it will be helpful for developers to build better pie ROMs

Hmm, i doubt we'll get treble officially for our device. We don't have a native vendor partition as far as i understand, and to get one would likely require repartitioning/erasing of data (especially as Motorola would likely want to keep the OEM partition). I understand other OEMs had an unused partition to use for treble, though treble is not a requirement of being updated to Oreo - only a requirement for devices launched with Oreo, from what i understand.
This update would be useful in providing updated drivers and firmware, which developers don't seem to be able to modify due to their closed source/proprietary nature. This, I'm hoping that custom ROMs would be more stable, less buggy and perhaps less work to make patches for the drivers to play nice on a Pie system.
From what I've seen of Treble, it does work to get a booting device. However, for device specific features, it seems that additional patches or a device specific system image are required. Thus for some, they may still prefer a custom ROM specifically built by a developer who knows their device. It's still impressive what can be achieved nonetheless.

With the soak test will come a new kernel. Will this help getting lineageos 15.1 support? Last I heard that was what was needed for better support.

I'm not sure about the kernel but I think it will help to finally fix the camera issues on Oreo roms
If the soak test rom does get leakd i wonder if it would work on the Moto G4 (XT1622) not the G4 Plus i have a Moto G4. But i have a Oneplus 5T now as i was tired of waiting for stable oreo
I was on the verge of installing a custom ROM till I received the email. I'm eagerly awaiting the OTA now. Also, pardon me for a n00b question but, could the ghost touch issue be possibly fixed over the OTA?

Some owners here keep crying that they want Nougat.
I have a warning for you. Nougat soak on various devices has a history of problems. People that have sideloaded Nougat soak keep asking how to come back to MM (that can't do it fully, bootloader will remain on N). Now the official Nexus 6P started to have bootloops after upgrading to N: https://www.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p-users-experiencing-random-bootloops/
Maybe is related to Google's desire to "lock" down Android even more, maybe is just a plain design failure (bite more than they could chew) like in the case of Windows Me or Windows Vista, not sure. But be warned, if you rely on your phone for important day-to-day things, think twice before updating. Let others to be the guinea pigs.
PS: CM is not safer either, especially now after their announcement and when the future direction is not clear. Secondly, it is still based on Google's "N" code.

And your suggestion is now everybody should stay on marshmallow and don't upgrade to nougat based roms?
bro this is problem with users who dont know properly about roms and rooting etc .
i have been using lots of different roms including stock one but i have never met any iss ie boot loops ., bugs etc

You should read again what a soak test is. This may be not stable and/or have bug(s). That's why it should not be share here. Ppl who flashed it just want to have that last software without knowing if it works well or if it's ready for daily use.
About bootloop, this is not something new while jumping to a new major version. I'm pretty sure flashing clean works a way better
Edit: took time to read the article, its clearly said that's a hardware issue. Maybe you should read it too....
And for CM, last news are clear enough. Say welcome to LineageOS. All ROMs are based on Google sources, since it's the only one....
Thanks for the advice, but this is your POV.
I know what a soak test is. The problem is that a LOT (all of them?) of those treads claim "this is an official Moto" or just not say anything about being a soak test... Only one poster changed the OP title after I pointed out that he shouldn't claim that it is an "official" release.
Hence my warning - it is not for people that know what they are doing (more power to you) but for the casual drive-by posters that are lured into a false sense of "security". How many threads we saw here about that?
Also, we see more and more that even the devices that had an official Nougat, are not trouble free. Hardware issue? Why it did happened only after update to Nougat? The Nexus 6P is not a new device... more than a year old.
Maybe my title is not the best choice, but I wanted to attract attention of those casual posters.
As for LineageOS... I am skeptic. That's all I will say for now, since it was more of a parallel.
lol moto user for past 3 years , and i do know what is soak test is happy to flash it , face the risk with smile not by crying . There is always a workaround for anything
soak test is meant to detect bugs and other issues . so the are official one but not the final one . they can make minor Changes to the os to make it error free .
so they are not officially realized but are official .
and i have also rested it . and i found it bug free all the time . so i dont thing there was need to make major changes and you can also get updates after it .

It's funny how you say that soak has bugs and you can't downgrade, while soak it's lots better than mm and actually you can downgrade the bootloader too (why I'm so sure? Because I'm in the last soak and I have downgradeded 3 times without issues)

So basically you took the instructions found here and made video. Big deal... especially when you didn't actually downgraded a locked bootloader. Some users don't know that they will have to lose warranty if they side-load Nougat and want to go "back".
Anyway, the situation is that our devices don't have "official" Nougat and people that claim that are just misleading.
I'm going to sell my phone and running latest RR.
After reverting back to mm with relocking boot loader is safe or removing BL unlock warning is enough to sell my phone ?.
I'm aware about reverting to mm because last month i downgraded to mm for installation of latest soak without flashing got and BL, but then again installed custom ROM.
Current BL is 25.03.60r
I agree with OP. It is all very based on user experience but if you take a look through forums on this site you will see numerous complaints of bugs and issues in the nougat based Roms, soak test or otherwise. To anyone who says MM is bad is just not an Android person. It's something we as a community wanted for years and you be whining about not having the next version, which is my opinion isnt an upgrade, is really annoying. End rant.

I flashed a rooted stock backup from TWRP after being on an N rom back before the VOLTE bug was fixed with no issues. Never flashed soak test.
So again its time for a good news ... For g4 and g4 plus users
Today i chat with Some Moto Executives to know about android 7.1.1 status for moto g4 plus.. i hoping that they say that we don't know but this time their answer is different . All of them now saying that Android 7.1.1 is starting rolling out in G4 plus In India..and Its a soak test build which is rolled out for all users ... And they claiming that few of their customers already get update
Check the chat screenshot for proof... :')
great news!!
They might be talking about the 14-4 update (still 7.1).
this T Gowthami is the only rep they have online? So so so famous, sometimes I feel like banging my head on the wall. Anyways the update will come when it has to come, nothing from our side will change the schedule.

Motorola representative called me today for clearing the information about Android 7.1.1 update for Moto G4 Plus.
They have already started soak test of this update and the period of testing is near to end this month.
So, as per him, the update will start to rollout in 1st or 2nd week of May.
Congratulations!

If you trust all the news released by manufacturer you should know that there's a straight plan to release Oreo not 7.1.1
This thread is a little bit outdated, probably Oreo will be released if Motorola wants it.

Maybe they even wait until 8.1 release, Lenovo never said which Oreo the G4 Plus will get.
Actually guys g4+ will directly habe 8.0 update rolled out. Soak tests for N are already over. Moto executives have minimal to no info actually. We should expect the O update by the end of april next year, since g5s and g5 are in the line getting O first.

I'd take the donations and buy the phone for him since I live closer to the seller, but I don't know if he got the PM I sent him about it and bought it or not yet.
He's gotten the device, use the link in the op to ask how you can donate to tdm and offset the cost, he plans on releasing custom roms soon.
Very exciting time to be a mini owner.
I'm excited and can't wait! I'm coming from a Nexus 5 and Nexus 5x those have very good development support, I can't wait to start flashing ROMs and kernels on this mini!
Hey @fallen00sniper hope you don't mind me hijacking this thread, but I wanted a place to update everyone on progress and I didn't want to start a new thread.
Current status as of Oct 3 2017
Unlock
Unofficial unlock tool has been released.
Waiting for official ZTE unlock.
TWRP
Alpha version posted in unlock thread. This uses the binary kernel and init from stock (including enforcing selinux) and does not have decrypt support, so it is not optimal.
Working on a full source build and eventual official TWRP builds.
Custom ROMs
I have just now successfully booted the device with a source built kernel based on the ZTE provided sources. I'm starting on Lineage 14.1 support. This will probably take at least a week or two.
Once Lineage 14.1 is working reasonably well, I will also do an AOKP build since that is my preferred ROM. I can help community members with other ROMs, but I won't maintain them myself.
Other
Collecting information on regional variants.
@saymonek has a single-SIM UK/Europe version that is reportedly stuck on 6.0. Are there any more variants?
@tdm, completely fine by me.
while you are in the rom getting them up and running, check into why the touch screen sucks at positional tapping, mine isn't 100% accurate lol
Did a bit of research on variants by trolling through ZTE support. So far I've found:
* USA version.
* UK Carphone Warehouse version.
* International "open market" version (eg. Austria).
* Hong Kong version.
First build done:
Package Complete: /home/tdm/out/laos-14.1/target/product/tulip/lineage-14.1-20171003-UNOFFICIAL-tulip.zip
This is going to need a fair amount of work before it boots and runs, but ... progress!
Oh also FYI... I've been cribbing from the HTC One A9 (hiae) device for Lineage builds. haie is maintained by intervigil, who I had the pleasure to work with at cyngn. I'd say he is one of the top four or five device people in the custom ROM world. And it looks like he has been actively working on Lineage 15.0 so we should get that soon after nightly builds start.
It's so exciting to see device development take off!
Just a quick update...
I had a ... uh ... "server malfunction" yesterday so didn't get a chance to do much. However, I'm back in business today.
So far today I've got linage to start the boot animation. Should be able to get all the way to the home screen tomorrow.

Hello, can I change my axon 7 mini back to the US variant? It was originally US variant, I mistakenly switched US band in the engineering menu and Iost network services. I managed to get it working with the European firmware from ZTE Russia. Would like to revert to the US variant. I noticed in the bootloader version, the US version is P852A12 whilst the European variant is P852A11. Any luck on reverting to US variant?
Can you not access the engineering menu and switch back?
If not, my suggestion would be to use QPST and/or QXDM. These are proprietary tools but you can find them for download. They will allow you to program the frequency bands that your phone uses.
Good luck.

Oreo update is for Australia, also there is no Oreo for the regular G4 and the link indicates G4 and G4 Plus
I think we have to be careful here, I went to the support page for Moto g4 plus in the Australian website and there is nothing about this release, also the link that OP left leads to the official Motorola website and clearly states that it is the february security patch, this posts may be click bait, as we have seen before...
I'm not pretty sure it's clickbait, proandroid is a trusted webpage well known in Spain and Latin America, by the way we do not have info about oreo beside this pages.

There's no information on that update notes that suggests it's Oreo (they'd surely mention it's Oreo 8.0) and we've not even seen a soak test for our devices yet. A soak test appears usually when Motorola is testing an update, as they've been doing for the Z play, z for example.
As far as I can see, even the G5/G5 plus is waiting for the soak test, so whoever the source is, we might be at the end or towards of this roll out. Technically, the rollout has started, for Z play and Z devices (soak) and X4 (deployed). I don't see any soak test reports from our sister G5/G5S forums.
Well I don't see anyone who can actually confirm getting this update, so what is the proof that it's actually Oreo? The OP link simply described it as the February Security Patch.

There's no proof. Everyone just hopes that it's Oreo

I'm not pretty sure it's clickbait, proandroid is a trusted webpage well known in Spain and Latin America, by the way we do not have info about oreo beside this pages.

Maybe it is clickbait, but one of the author ("Ausdroid") is very huge and would not make fake news.
I hope it's still Nougat, I don't want to run Oreo on my 2GB ram device.

Oreo runs very well on 2G/16G device, especially the 32bit versions. Lenovo will never release a 64bit based Oreo rom for G4 plus.
Forget about oreo,, as the op has written it clearly says about feb security update and the link that he has given also tells about security update.
"...**In addition to the N upgrade it has already received, we will be upgrading moto g4 Plus to Android O. Because this is an unplanned upgrade, it will take some time to fit into our schedule, we’ll update our software upgrade page when we have more info...." sourcer

Like discussed here and stated by motorola, but without any date https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-getting-android-o-t3576948
Hello people, due to the problems that I already commented on my other post, and that many of those who have the misfortune of having bought an ATyT phone, we do not find a solution to several problems, not even updates to Nougat as if they already have in Verizon and other companies. I contacted LG and they gave me a link where the source code was uploaded and everything needed to "cook" a Nougat ROM for the H900, only that ATyT leaves us dumped.
Going to the minds that are on this site, can someone cook the ROM? If I had the knowledge I would collaborate but never create one. We hope that some partner knows how and soon we have nougat in our V10. Then I leave the official link to download source code

Won't Work, Anyway...

You have to get the bootloader unlocked, and that's an AT&T limitation.
You're best hope is that if you have LP (5.1.1 - very unlikely), you can root.
But, upgrading to 6.0 breaks root, and installs an anti-rollback into the bootloader, so you can't root again.
Nougat (7.0) won't install at all with the locked bootloader.
I already upgraded to 6.0 and I'm facing those 6.0 issues... Anything that I can do to get my phone working fine again?
