update Moto Z to Android 8.0 Oreo Download OPL27.76 57 factory image

The first generation Moto Z 2016 Edition is now receiving the official Android 8.0 Oreo firmware update. It also features the latest March 2018 Android Security Patches. Not much is known about the update log as of now, except, it comes with some stability updates and system improvements. The OTA update is currently rolling out in waves in the United States, and some European countries. So download and install the latest OTA update right now.

As the firmware is based on Android 8.0, it features all the Oreo goodies such as Picture-in-Picture, Autofills for passwords and usernames, notification categories, notification snoozing, aggressive Doze mode, and much more. The Oreo update comes with a new firmware build number OPL27.76-57 for the Moto Z 2016 Edition and the OTA  weighs 937 MB. As usual, the security patch level is stepping up to that of December 2017 with this upgrade.

As of now, we have not been able to capture the OTA update. The update is moving in batches over-the-air (OTA) so it might take a while to reach all the devices. However, there are ways to update the Moto Z to Oreo manually. Following we have listed the factory image or full stock firmware file which can be flashed via Fastboot mode.

      Hi, thanks for the heads up. The post has been updated with the latest factory image which should work on most of the Moto Z variants. It comes directly from Motorola servers. Also, as it is a factory image, it needs an unlocked bootloader. You can re-lock the bootloader again after the installation. Also, unlocking the bootloader and enabling OEM from developer options is a recommended step, because if anything goes wrong, you can always revert back.
