[Moto Z Questions & Answers] SzLaszlo:
Hello,

I bought an almost new, opened box xt1650-03 dual sim version, which unfortunately doesn't fully work with our home wifi internet access (while our other three android devices don't have any problem):

Setting up the phone it asks for mobile net and wifi (as usual). I set up home wifi access, and then nothing: timeout error, it cannot connect to google services (to set up my personal google account with my address & pw). I only can skip it. But while Play Store & orher services are not working with Moto Z, browsing with Chrome working.

I also have access to a wifi network that has very weak signal at home (same ISP: client's who share their router - not their bandwidth - with other clients: so we can get access even in other towns where another client of the ISP who share it's router - but no one allowed to use this other service on his/her own home router hence the weak signal).

So with that wifi access, the Play Store works. But that's a weak signal as comes from the neighbors routers, almost useless.

Tried most of the things I found, none worked: hard resetting, formatting cache partition, deleting app cache, restoring to original version, etc. (cannot root it because of warranty loss, so the obvious ROM change N/A this time), still have the problem: while I can browse with Chrome fine, Google Play Store, and services or apps that rely on that, not working.

Build: MPL24.246-45

My old Moto G (falcon with nougat 7.1) works flawlessly, Nexus 7, PC, laptop, etc. works too, just the XT1650 has the problem...

Thanks for any clues!

Are you getting a prompt which asks you to allow the connection with the computer?

Do allow this connection so that you can copy/transfer files.

I suspect I've found the answer to this already, but maybe I overlooked something simple. I have an eye condition and I need to be able to dim my phone in low light we'll beyond normal capabilities. I just got the Moto Z and love everything about it except the capacitive buttons, which cause me some serious pain in low light. I have a Verizon phone, so the bootloader is locked down, but I was hoping someone knows of an app that might trick those buttons into dimming.

What is a force encryption, and what does it do?

There is the head for this in the ROM section, and I'm not able to root my device. Is there something to do with this?
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] supacrazyguy42:
I tried a couple apps (make sure they didn't require root) Best solution I could find was using Screen filter / Twilight with GMD Full Screen Immersive.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.immersive

Far from perfect but when the Navbar is minimised Twilight works on the whole screen. So only bright lights when you need to use a button rather than all the time, hope this helps.

I still can't figure out why I can't access my phone storage. Internal has been mounted within TWRP , but my files are not detected if I look under file manager. So the phone sees the internal storage, and shows the amount of storage, but can't move files into it. Any ideas of a fix?

[MENTION=4267571]sd_shadow[/MENTION], I'm glad I searched before creating a FAQ for Moto Z. One of yours for another device was what I was going to imitate anyhow. :) Thanks. I needed a quick replacement device, hoping for something pre A/B, lucky to find a Moto Z on sale. Now, to search this threads and likely post some questions. Thanks again.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] R064N:
I have a magnetic aukey mount for car vents (similar to Tech Matte Magrip as i see the pictures), the magnet on the moto z sticks to it strongly and no need to stick any of the metal plates included.

So no metal, no issues with moto mods.

Moto Mod issue

Hello,

I hope this is the right thread for my issue, so here goes:

My Incipio Power Pack Moto Mod isn't detected by my phone.

At first, I thought this was a hardware issue. But when I tried attaching the mod to my phone when it was shut down, it worked.

Furthermore, the Moto Mod Manager doesn't seem to work anymore, it always keeps crashing on me.

Does anyone know what software issue I am dealing with?

Thank you. :)

Moto Z stock rom installation

Hello! I forgot if it was this forum I had an account with but considering it was in 2014 I cannot find it, and I have not done a rom installation since a Galaxy i9000 so my request for help is the following.

I have a Moto Z XT1650

Would somebody be able to give me a clean and simple guide to installing a clean stock Android ROM?

Not only is Marshmallow no longer supported I believe given Lenovo's past controversies I wish to eliminate the factory ROM as it may have manufacturer telemetry services ie Spyware

I am aware Google services does these things, but Google is very transparent.

I would also like to know if I have to do anything to keep the google apps by installing a stock android Rom?

Thank you!

I would appreciate the help as I have been looking for a tutorial but I don't exactly know what I am doing, besides the general theory and I am feeling overwhelmed ^^
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] R064N:
The easy way, follow lineage tutorial:

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] CairnsBeaches2009:
May I contact you if I have any questions?

I have a piece of software called RSDlite, I haven't used it I just have it downloaded and ready, it's what you use to flash stock roms to motorola devices, I guess it's the Motorola equivalent of Heimdall

can I use this to skip the need for unlocking the bootloader installing a recovery thing?

Since the guide mentions that I can (optionally) get GApps I am supposing that Griffin is a custom rom image.

Do you have a clean simple ROM that you could recommend that could be flashed onto my phone with RSDlite? I'm just after the stock experience, I am aware that it seems official Android stock roms are considered proprietary now sadly.

Ie you're expected to buy a new phone to "properly" get these builds.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] R064N:
Of course it's a custom ROM and you can't fash a custom ROM without an unlocked bootloader.

There is no way to flash this ROM with rsdlite, the orginal bootloader won't boot a custom ROM, as far as I know the original firmware its signed by Motorola.

Once the bootloader its unlocked using the instructions and the key provided from Motorola (you have to ask them for it) you have to flash a recovery a custom ROM, and google apps if you like.
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] CairnsBeaches2009:
Ah now I understand, so it not that simple now.

And unlocking your bootloader is a warranty voider I presume.

Thank you for that info, it seems the landscape has changed even more since I last and first looked into custom android solutions.

Would I be better off taking the official Oreo update (which isn't available when updating with check updates) since I want to stay stock?
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] R064N:
Yes unlocking bootloader voids warranty (and maker an awfull message appear when the phone boots :-/)

I believe than you can found official updates in this forum that can be flashed.

Hello all I just bought Moto Z Force xt1650-02 and wanted to ask that can it be flashed with ROMs from Moto Z, as they have same GPU and cpu, I know I shouldnt ask here, but there doesn't seem any rom or root for this device, without root I can't use a device, still I can tolerate stock recovery but root is must.

Dear all,

we have a Moto Z (XT1650) with Lineage OS 17.1. The screen damaged completely but what is worse is that the connector on the board where the screen should be connected is broken. So even if we get a new screen, we cannot connect. Apart from that phone works OK. Does someone has any idea how can I access to phone and at least download some data from it.

Many thanks and regards,

Bios password for android ?

Hi everyone, I bought the moto Z droid for my 13 year old kid. He know how to hard reset or factory resets the phone so I can't install the restriction on its. However, he don't know how to install a new roms and he doesn't have a computer to do that either. Is there any roms which have password to on the boot screen so he can not factory reset it again ? Something like bios password on PC.

Getting hot

Hi people, just wanted to ask if anyone had the same experience of your device getting quite warm on the bottom portion where the pins are (seems warmer on the front though). I know that's where the motherboard and all the computing power is at, but it's strange that it can get warm even when all you do is browsing the web using chrome, taking a look at CPU-Z, it shows some things can get as warm as 50-55 degree Celsius, and if I'm not the only one, then is there anything that can be done about it, I mean, it probably shouldn't be like that, right?:silly:

So I have had my Moto Z for a few months now. I've been using the eject sim card trick to use the hotspot and it has worked like a charm up until about 2 weeks ago. Now it is suddenly dropping data only when I use the tether. I have restarted, reconfigured, etc. I have all the latest updates and haven't rooted this phone once. I am curious if anyone else is having this issue. What's strange is that my wife's Note 4 also started dropping connections whenever she uses hers. Her phone isn't rooted either, she uses Foxfi. Can someone steer me in the right direction? Has Verizon forced me to root my device? I have the old unlimited data plan on both of my lines.

No I don't think so

Moto z XT1650 have 3 different models

Sheridan

Griffin

Sheriden-china

I don't know all of differences but one of them is back temp sensor of Sheridan (Griffin don't have temp back sensor)

and china model has some differences on battery charging

In /etc files i found this 3 files in attachments

If anyone wants to find out, just compare this files

Hi, thanks for your reply.

sd_shadow, erfanoabdi is right - I just got ahold of unmodified US retail single-SIM XT1650-03 and Thai retail dual-SIM XT1650-03 and they're both identified as Sheridan on the bootloader (not Griffin, and not Moto Z Force).

So Sheridan and Griffin are code names for particular hardware revisions with different components (temperature sensors etc.)? Is there any way to find out exactly what the differences are/when did the changeover happen, considering the phone hasn't been on the market that long?

Moto Z, any way to screen mirror to Automotive Nav Screen?

Hoping one of the experts here can help with this. I bought the Kenwood DDX 9703S that has a 7" screen, it's supposed to offer screen sharing with Android phones via the Kenwood Mobile App (limited to certain apps like Waze navigation.) This sharing is done via the HDMI cable from the unit. Android Auto works with the USB-C just fine, but I wanted to use Waze. I failed to read the fine print that the phone must have MHL or HDMI support, and in any case the phone specs don't even address this. Does anyone have any ideas for a work-around on this? I hate to return the Kenwood, that involves having the techs uninstall it and put my 7 year old unit back in. Or I can just live with the reduced functionality and only have Android Auto. Only other option I have at this time is pay off my contract and get a different phone, and it'll have to be an older phone since they're the only ones I can find that support HDMI/MHL. Thanks in advance for any help.

I just installed Lineage OS on my Moto Z and have noticed that my phone uses more storage than on the stock ROM. I checked TWRP and saw that I could make a backup of a partition called 'system-image' (different from system). This is not the partition that has Lineage OS installed on it. It really bugs since i lose storage space foe something that probably serves no function. My questions are why does this partition exist, what does it contain and how can I delete (if deemed safe)?

Dear community, I have a Moto Z XT1650-03 with dual SIM purchased at the Mexico Best Buy. I am starting to play with flashing and would really appreciate some expert advice.

I have been searching for stock rom firmware online and found several versions, even for XT1650-03, but I haven't found any version for dual SIM. That leads me to think that the same firmware version probably works for both single and dual SIM. Nevertheless, I remember that for Samsung, flashing the dual sim firmware version on a single SIM phone could generate issues with the modem driver and render your phone useless until a new modem driver is available for your specific version. I am a little reluctant to brick my phone, so I wanted to ask if anyone with more experience would be able to provide a little insight on how this works for the Moto Z, or even for Motorola on a more general basis.

Also, as you can see below, my phone has both Sheridan and Griffin as values allocated to different variables. Since I could not find any rom for Moto Z Sheridan, would it be OK to install a Griffin stock ROM?
