Motorola has released Android 8.0 Oreo update for the fourth Gen Moto X4. Both Standard and Android One edition Moto X4 (Payton) has updated to Oreo with several value added features and latest security patches. Since the OTA update is rolling out in phases, it will take a few days to reach on your device. If you own a standard Moto X4 Global variant (XT1900), here is how to install the Android 8.0 Oreo update manually on it.
In this guide, we show you how to install stock Android 8.0 Oreo firmware (PAYTON_OPW27.57-40) manually on Moto X4 (Payton) global variant. This guide may also help you unbrick a non-booting Moto X4. For example, if your phone stuck in a bootloop/welcome screen after installing a custom recovery or a custom ROM, check out the step-by-step guide given below.
The below tutorial assume that you have knowledge on ADB, Fastboot, and how to issue fastboot commands. If you have followed the guide carefully, you can unbrick, unroot and restore stock firmware on your Moto X4 (code named Payton).
