Noob question

I recently bought a Moto Z XT1650-03 and soon installed TWRP and flashed a custom ROM. Everything is fine, but i was wondering if returning to STOCK ROM would be as easy as flashing a STOCK ROM zip file.

If it is, where can I find it? I've red a lot about stock firmwares, but I am kind of afraid to mess with firmware settings.

I would be really thankful if anyone could help me in any way.

Thank you :)

The moto-z has support for mhl, so it will charge via hdmi/mhl port, but it does not support hdmi video, according to Lenovo.

it is possible you need to use motorola's fastboot binary which supports larger chunks than the original. I had the same problem, then i found mfastboot (I think it was on motorola's support site somewhere, but can't swear to it) and reflashed the sparsechunk parts with mfastboot.

Works well with magnetic mounts, I'm using a magnetic qi charging mount. It's not as secure as an actual plate glued to the back of the phone/case, but it holds on well enough with the bare phone or the wireless charging battery pack mod.

Hi, coming from a moto G4 (XT 1622/germany)I own a moto z for about 2 weeks now. I' ve tried to get familiar by reading through the threads. Yesterday i received the 7.1.1 OTA and installed it successfully. Before I've tried to backup my StockRom 7.0 by temporarely booting latest TWRP 3.1.1. With my G4 i was used to:

check all the boxes in the TWRP-Backupmenue, took a backup, could restore it.

With MotoZ this kind of Backup failed. As i understood, this has something to do with encryption.

Question: Has anyone managed to make a restorable backup of his Stockrom and could provide a detailed instruction? Or might point me in the right direction? I didn't find anything.

Thanks

Hi, are there any battery apps that will show my actual SOT when using a mod? My SOT is nonsense because it doesn't count the time using the phone while charging.

If anyone is still wondering about this, I tried and seems like both single and dual sim roms are the same. I installed 7.1.1 based on another threadh here in XDA, no mention about dual SIM, and both SIMs work just fine. Also tried with a MM version, same result.

Hi guys.

I purchased this phone last week and have some questions about this phone.

1- Why Moto Z section on XDA is so quiet? i though this phone will have a good and crowded community.

2- Did any body got 7.1.1 ? My phone was on 7.0 out of the box.

Thanks...

Hi.

1- For me its a C, came from OPO.

2- Usually takes 50-60 Minutes Without The Battery mod and 90 Minutes with Battery mod.

3- Yes even in low demanding tasks it heats up, in heavy usage heats up too.

4- Great Fingerprint Sensor IMO, Fast enough

5- Average without the battery mod, Around 3-4 Hours SOT without battery mod, and 6-8 hours of SOT with battery mod.

6- The Speaker on this phone is WEAK for my taste. sound came from the earpiece and pretty low. but its good for calls but not for media consumption.

7- Sorry i don't know, my operator doesn't support that technology.

Do I have chances to solve my problems by flashing a custom ROM?

Hi everyone.

I will try to be brief and concise here.

I live in Argentina. I bought a Moto Z in Italy three months ago. I have not flashed the phone nor installed a custom rom or anything. I haven't even rooted the phone.

So far I have two big problems:

1) Bluetooth is dead as in many other devices. You can check details here and here.

2) The last update fails to install. Details and troubleshooting here.

According to the guys from Motorola, none of these problems can be solved without sending it back to Motorola Italy for repair, which is quite an inconvenience for me since as I mentioned I live in Argentina.

Can any of you tell me if I have any chances of correcting any of these problems by doing something 'advanced' on my side?

Thank you so much.

Does anyone have a good list of what versions are what? I see xt1650-01, 02, and 03, as well as 05. Which ones are US compatible and bootloader unlockable? I also see a lot of ones on eBay that say "Moto Z Droid GSM Unlocked" that then describe themselves as being GSM only, but the Droid naming would lead me to believe they're Verizon only. Is Moto using the Droid name outside of Verizon now?
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] sd_shadow:
Verizon is the only company outside of Lucas Films, that can legally use the "Droid" name

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] MatmaQ:
Hi,

I've bought a brand new Moto Z few days ago, because my OG 5' Pixel BT was ****e hoping, that maybe if Moto Z doesn't have a jack then it will be bound to have decent BT. Much to my surprise, Moto Z doesn't see any pairable devices at all - all my devices are showing blue lights, and yet I have a prompt that 'No pairable devices are available'. Clear BS. I've done my research, messing around with the BT options, none have helped. I'm swapping for a new device tommorow or maybe on Tuesday but I need to know if anybody found a reliable method to fix it up. Also I'd love to know if installing any ROMs have helped resolving the issue (I haven't done that because of warranty yet, I might incline to do it on the new one if it will work)

I know they have the same exact hardware and dimensions but i'm not sure about the thickness. Has anyone tried doing this.. or can confirm if it works?
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Jeik:
Even if they had the same component layout(low probability), you'd need to "thicken" the metal frame or you wouldn't be able to cover the back. It's like trying to fit someone into pants that are simply too small.

Just get the newest gen of battery mods.

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] PacoBell:
All the root guides on XDA tell you to unlock your bootloader as a matter of fact, but don't go into the potential consequences of doing so. I'm referring specifically to the Motorola boilerplate warnings on their website, especially:

"Applications may not work anymore.

You may lose encryption support.

You may lose some key functions like telephone, radio, and audio playback."

What applications, exactly? Is this an acknowledgement of SafetyNet or something much broader? I definitely want to keep disk encryption support. Why would bootloader unlock jeopardize that? And losing critical system features? What in the hells? Is any of this true in your collective experience? That whole thing seems like a rather draconian response to a simple bootloader unlock.

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Jeik:
It was also "fun" for me when I tried to root it.

To root you need TWRP. In order to install TWRP you need to unlock the bootloader.

Sooo...

Unlock the bootloader, install the twrp and root the phone with the latest Magisk zip(there is a guide for 7.0 but it works on 7.1 too).

Moto Z Wifi Calling on T-Mobile?

Friends, I have just purchased a new Moto Z directly from Motorola and am using it very successfully here in the US on the T-Mobile Network. I love it and it does everything I need it to do, except for one thing. I cannot find where to turn on the Wi-Fi Calling feature, although I am almost positive I checked to make sure the phone had that capability before I bought it. I can't imagine that the phone doesn't support Wi-Fi Calling, but I am beginning to think that may be the case. Can someone help me please?

Hi hope it can help a little, first if you have the option to enter settings just do a long swipe up then u can enter to about phone, then do another long swipe and click it the 7 times. When you enter to dev options need to do a slow swipe from OEM unlock to upper side of the screen and then u can enable the usb debugging.

Don't know if the cable need to be removed after u enable it cause my cable is generic and i cant connect it to computer.

Hello!

I've got Moto Z 32Gb 1650-3 reteu with unlocked bootloader. At first I updated phone via OTA to 7.1.1 118-20-5-11 version and everithing was ok. But then I decided to decrypt my phone, flashed TurboZ kernel with TWRP, formatted data, get errors with that and bootloop. I tried to flash latest reteu firmware from firmware.center, but it was marshmallow and i got errors with bootloader and gpt.bin in flashing process. And of cause bootloop. At first i get device back to life by flashing this MM ROM, flashing TWRP over it and flashing ErfanROM from TWRP. Device started and worked fine. But then I decided to back to stock anyway. And flashed GRIFFIN_NPL26.118-20_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip from the firmware catalogue root, not from 1650-3 folder. And it's worked! I updated to latest 7.1.1 118-20-5-11 again and everithing was working fine. But then i discovered, that my IMEI became =0 (zero). Wherein all phone functions is working fine! So I'm using phone without problem. But is it possible to restore IMEI, or it is impossible? May be I lost EFS, but it is usually connected with losing ability to using phone functions, isn't it?

Thanks for the answers!
