Update Moto G5 Plus to Android 9 Pie [Download link + Guide]

Saeed Ashif Ahmed by Saeed Ashif Ahmed

Officially, there is no plan for Android Pie on Moto G5 Plus. Even though the Moto G5 Plus is one of the best budget smartphones till now, it’s quite disappointing that Motorola doesn’t have any plan for updating this device. The device had already got one major update in Android 8.0 Oreo, and Pie is out of topic now.

Moto G5 Plus Android 9 Pie update

  • The official update won’t be coming into this device.
  • Unofficially, you can update it using custom ROM.

Official update

We are sorry to say; this device is not eligible for official Pie update. But another door is open for you as an unofficial route.

Unofficial update

The Custom Firmware based on AOSP Android 9.0 Pie is available for Moto G5 Plus. It is the ArrowOS custom ROM that brings the major system update unofficially, with all the Pie features, which gives you the full taste of Android 9.0 Pie OS.

Download Android 9 Pie for Moto G5 Plus

  • ArrowOS custom ROM
  • VoLTE fix (required with this ROM)
  • Android 9 Pie GApps

Note: This ArrowOS is compatible only with Moto G5 Plus. Please do not try with Moto G5, Moto G5S, Moto G5S Plus or any other Android device.

TWRP for Moto G5 Plus

Since the firmware is not an official rollout by Motorola, the stock recovery won’t work here. So, in order to install Android 9.0 Pie on Moto G5 Plus, you must have a custom recovery like TWRP installed from before. In that case, you also have to unlock the bootloader of your phone. If your device doesn’t have a custom recovery, and bootloader is not unlocked, please do that first and get back to this tutorial.

    Hi,
    I followed the instructions but it loads arrows OS, then asks for a password (“toor”), confirms the password is correct and says that the partition is corrupted and that I should perform a factory reset. Unfortunately, it doesn’t solve the problem.
