[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] TigerCourage:
They obviously won't say "oh yeah, here's the new Moto Z Play design". Moto Mods, front facing flash and one microphone right beside the fingerprint scanner. This is definitely the Z2 Play.

We'll have to wait and see I guess.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Terepin:
Even if it is new Z, what the hell makes you think it's Play? It can by any Z.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] TigerCourage:
Why are you so rude dude? It's just an opinion geez. The Moto Z has 2 microphones on the front, and the Z Play only has one (like the one in the picture). It will also make more sense to promote the Z Play on a gamepad because of the battery life and also "Play" as the name suggests you "Play" on a gamepad.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Terepin:
Not rude, just straightforward without sugarcoating with sarcastic touch.

Anyway, you are trying to apply same logic from old Z to new Z. There no info whatsoever about hardware in new Zs. Your assumptions are based on not a single concrete evidence of any sort.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] noisyriver:
You ARE rude. I think it has a reason some of your posts in this forum were already deleted by admin. Just think about it. Your tone has nothing to do with sarcasm. To say somebody tells BS when he is just thinking loud without hurting somebody is no sarcasm. It is RUDE.

OP never said that this IS the new Z play. Just for your information: There was a big fat question mark in the title.

I think that the OP might be right. But it's also possible, that this is only a free designers interpretation of a Z (Play or whatever). We can't know at this time. So no need for any unkind discussion at this point.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Terepin:
He thinks that Play has literal meaning. Why he thinks that is beyond me because even original MZP wasn't intended for games.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] varunsmackboy:
You are being rude man, chill out a bit, the guy is sharing his excitement and knowledge, if you dont agree with him, just say it, no need to be blunt.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Terepin:
On the contrary, you're the one acting like enraged SJW.

Today I wanted to install the lineage os, but, to ensure, I installed the stock rom in my moto g4 plus.

I wiped dalvik, system, data and cache.

Then I flashed the rom and the gapps, but when I did the reboot the cell phone was in an infinite loop, but not normal, the bootanimation of the lineage appears but it never stops.

what do I do??

Sorry for the spelling mistakes, I used google translate

I can't acces my custom recovery and can't install trough my computer
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Which stock ROM and custom recovery did you install, by the way?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] advanced_gamerBR:
I installed Lineage OS 14.1 2017/02/21 nightly

The stock rom is this https://mega.nz/#!2skAzDKL!9VB2h6GpbrqINSpsiMLoenZEpuuCbTVGi8QtR8lWKf0

And the custom recovery is TWRP 3.0.2-0
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Thanks, can I ask what region/what device you have as well? I'm just wondering if that's the correct stock firmware for your device/region. Did you let your device update on OTA before flashing the LineageOS build? Are you able to roll back to a backup of your Marshmallow installation?

Also, there's a newer version of TWRP available: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-r3-moto-g4-g4-plus-t3494337 Might be worth looking into installing given the TWRP version you've installed hasn't been maintained in a while. TWRP 3.0.3n2 is a good option to go for, since it's running stably for me.

Finally, though some bugs appear to have been fixed in the latest Lineage OS nightlies, might be worth using the 13/02 build (or robot_head's suggestion of the unofficial Lineage OMS ROM) to rule out any issues with the ROM, until at least we can get your phone booting again with a custom ROM.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] advanced_gamerBR:
I think that's the correct stock firmware because I already installed it before and there wasn't bugs .

The problem is I can't rool back to a backup because I can't access de TWRP or use the fastboot.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] advanced_gamerBR:
Thank you for helping me, I was able to access TWRP when my battery ran out, which interrupted the loop
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Hmm, so what happens if you power off your phone by pressing the power button for 2-3 [edit: minutes] (credit: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70973812&postcount=5), as this may cause a hard reset and possibly break the bootloop?

What do you mean by fastboot not beng useable, as in your device does not show up in ADB or that you cannot boot into fastboot?

Alternatively, are you able to access the bootloader/fastboot mode by powering off, then holding down the power and volume down keys? If so, you may be able to re-flash your stock ROM as before.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] advanced_gamerBR:
I said I could not use fastboot because I was stuck on the Lineage loading screen

It was like if the boot animation was infinite, then when I tried to use the fastboot the cell phone was not recognized.

But the "loop" stopped when the battery ran out, so I was able to initialize the TWRP
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
So you're back into TWRP now? Okay, are you restoring your backup or re-flashing your stock ROM? I'd like to check your device can boot normally again and is up to date before trying again with the custom ROM.

By the way, I made an error in my last post - I miswrote how long you hold the power button down for, it's 2-3 minutes and should achieve the same as when your battery ran out - allowing you to boot back into TWRP.

Raw firmware

I have the same issue. My phone was branded "tim italy". When i bought it, I flashed the WW version via asus flash tool, and I'm currently able to update till the last M version, which is the ......152.

If i try to update to Android N, my phone will not boot, giving me the corruption message and shutting down after 10 seconds. I also tried to perform the dm restore procedure; the dm error disappeared but the system is stuck on the Asus boot screen

I believe that the only solution is to flash a Nougat RAW firmware via asus Flash tool. Does Anyone have a download link for the N version ?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] roosevelt84:

Hi everybody that has the same issue, I hope you read that so you can fix your problem.

So what I did was downloading old version of OS that autor mentioned "WW-13.20.10.152". It is necessary to download this version even if there are more newer versions. Then follow tutorial and you should be fine.

So again, thanks OP for posting this. You helped me a lot!

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zogu:
Can i flash bootloader on rooted 925a with dd command, i want to replace it with 925f bootloader. Also which file i can use, can i use unpacked boot from full firmware?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zogu:
Flashed sboot.bin and cm.bin from German 925f firmware with

dd if=/sdcard/sboot.bin of=/dev/block/platform/15570000.ufs/by-name/BOTA0

and

dd if=/sdcard/cm.bin of=/dev/block/platform/15570000.ufs/by-name/BOTA1

tested with opposite commands (if=/dev/block...) after reboot and it is flashed, but when i try with odin to flash 925f firmware, i'm still receiving same error (security check failed or something like that).

Also flashed custom recovery and it want boot in to recovery (again some security check error)

It seems like bootloader check something from other partitions or BOTA0 and BOTA1 are just copies of bootloader, actual bootloader is on some other place (beginning of /dev/sda or somewhere else...)

Can anyone help?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The_scam:
After many live chat sessions and escalations, I have pried bootloader information from Samsung, here are the facts:

(This is from the u.s. live chat)

"If you purchase the Unlocked phone from samsung , Bootloader will be unlocked already on phone"

Hope this helps

Also, the carrier versions will be locked and all unlock control handed over to the carrier's, (who will obviously not provide any unlocking options(except maybe T-Mobile))
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Riiiiiight.

We went through this BS with the note 7 last year.

Sammy is full of crap to put it blunty, the CSRs dont have accurate information.

I would love this to be true and I wont be buying one if its not but trust me...dont take what they say as being even remotely accurate

Don't worry bout' that, I got a ticket from the live chat and got it escalated to 3x to the manager of the live chat manager.

*shOULD be accurate.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Would love that to be true, mind you I will most likely go for the exynos version anyway. I had both a snapdragon AND a exynos note 7 and the exynos killed it pretty much in every way.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] osmosizzz:
Same with the s7 edge. The exynos pretty much kinged the snapdragon variant
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] seh6183:
It's not accurate. The CSR's don't know the difference between an unlocked bootloader and an unlocked sim. They also don't know the difference between a telephone and a piece of toast. There is no way in the world that they will allow an unlocked bootloader when their own knox design cripples the phone and voids the warranty as soon as it's rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The_scam:
OK, I don't know how many times I will have to clarify this.

The car live chat was turned into a ticket. Which has higher priority and CSR level than live chat. Then that was escalated to a software development engineer rep. I'm pretty sure this will be accurate, probably only the non QCOM cores tho
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] seh6183:
I don't care if Oh-Hyun Kwon told you that the bootloader would be unlocked lol It won't. You probably miss-spoke or they miss-understood you and thought you were talking about the sim. The bootloader will not be able to be unlocked and I can guarantee you of this. Samsung is copying Apples model of device security and there is no way they would allow you to unlock the bootloader. And if you keep it up, I will refresh this thread once a week after the phone is launched to remind you of how wrong you were lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The_scam:
OK, chill out. Believe it, or dont. But I confirmed the bootloader, I think that the rep for the software engineers know what a BOOTLOADER is.

Also chill out with the stereotype names, my rep was actually called "Jen"
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] seh6183:
Okay so the phone will be released without Samsung pay then. Is this what you're saying? Samsung pay is immediately disabled as soon as the bootloader is unlocked. So what you're saying is that the phone will be released without Samsung pay. Does this sound logical to you?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] The_scam:
"You're right"

Absolutely Right

I don't enjoy being attacked on a development forum. Just choose to believe it or not, no need to share your opinion multiple times. This is some INFORMATION, the way I got it. It is not my opinion, it is just here. Take it or leave it buddy.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
My guess is it will be the same model as the Note 7 where the international versions can be unlocked but the US/Canada Snapdragons cannot outside of an exploit like the one that we used early in on the Note us before it was patched. Unlocking the bootloader will kill Pay of course but a lot of people don't care, Keep in mind that locked bootloaders are prohibited in some countries like Singapore.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dotMethod:
Oh-Hyun Kwon is the CEO of Samsung, not a stereotype name, which is what made the post funny.

Regardless, the info on the unlocked bootloader is much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrcol:
Whats special about the USA that they keep the bootloader locked for that region?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] KryogenikX:
Pretty much carriers request, but usually t-mobile vibrants the bootloader could be unlocked rather easily.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] eduardmc:
Im with this guy. Bootloader wont be unlock on our snapdragon version. This was already the case with gs7 and note 7. Samsung will say anything on our favor for people to buy their phone. The truth is that 95% of the people dont care about bootloader or root. So having a lock bootloader and promote security is more valuable in their favor. Most probably dont even kmow what a sg 835 id. Only thing most people care. How the screen looks, if it is fast, good battery life and camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
The Tmo phones were not easily unlocked, they were the same as the rest of the snapdragons with the Note 7 and I think more of the same can be expected. Samsung used to make multiple variants of their snapdragons with and without locked bootloaders but reportedly will not do so again, all will be locked going forward since most go to the North American market where the carriers request it. I would be very hesitant to order a snapdragon S8 if I wanted an unlocked bootloader until it was proven it can be unlocked. It can often take months or years to get into bootloaders these days and some are never unlocked. Those who demand root will want the international not just for the unlocked bootloader but also because that will be where nearly all the effort in development happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
They were never unlocked as far as I know...neither was the note not that it was out for long enough to get that far lol.

Root was achieved via leaked engineering firmware. No twrp recovery either just root.

Sent from my Note 7, S7 Edge or S6
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
Yeah, I had an international. They actually patched the snapdragon phone after the first recall that prevented the installation of the leaked engineering firmware. Meanwhile over in international land we were flashing away for our brief ownership. I'm actually only here because I think we'll get some idea of what to expect with the Note 8 from this phone. That's probably going to be my next buy unless a surprise phone hits. Going back to the topic the news was over on the Note 7 forum that the snapdragon would no longer be coming with unlocked bootloader at any carrier or point of retail. Flashers should be wary of getting the snapdragon, unless something changed it won't be unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Yep....i had a snapdragon launch day then a week later got a exynos.

Then with all the recall BS stupid me took it back....realized how stupid that was then managed to snag another snapdragon thanks to a friend. Was happily using that until those Aholes at sammy killed the note 7 on all Canadian networks in Dec.

Ill likely trade it in on an S8 then sell it and buy a Exynos version lol.

I keep my eyes peeled for exynos note 7s still...not even sure if one would work in canada now but if it did Id buy it LOL

Happens on any site. For example, I could be browsing forums and the odd time I tap a link to a thread or to jump to the next page and I get hit with the error "Your connection was interrupted" (screenshot attached). If I refresh the page, it usually loads. I read pretty quickly and I go through a ton of threads, so it really breaks the momentum when I have to stop and reload pages all the time.

It happens roughly one in five times I try to load any web page. Happens on WiFi and on mobile data. The error doesn't occur with Disconnect Pro, AdAway, or no ad blocker at all. I've had it happen on at least three different phones (all Samsung phones, though).

I could see it being a minor thing for a lot of people, but for me it's annoying enough to make me look for other ad blocking options.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cantenna:
Thats not what i said... but, i think it should be left to the end user to decide how security will be implemented on their device especialy when it has a direct impact on the functionality and compatibility of applications previously purchase through legitimate means via google play store.

Look if Samsung wants to do what apple did and create their own os and lock it down, cool! But to take what makes android fundementally android and somewhat break it, when users expect their device to have android properties i.e. root and unlocked bootloaders... BS! More so because it came without any notice that this change is being implemented!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cobra04:
It's unbelievable seeing people here run their mouths about OTHER people not needing root or bootloader unlock. You don't want it, don't do it! For me, I'd go out and buy the phone immediately if it could be done. I don't even care if it was running stock Android, I tweak too many little things that requires root. Everyone who unlocks the bootloader knows exactly what they're getting into. Yes, kiss the warranty goodbye, security is compromised, you could kill the phone with one wrong move, etc. I'm willing to take the risks but Samsung won't let me. Doesn't make sense. If you are posting about how dumb or pointless an unlockable bootloader is, you've forgotten what this site is all about.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] seh6183:
Go tell the guys in the pixel forum because your days are over pal. We didn't do this to you, Samsung did. Write them a letter and then park yourself over in the pixel forums so you can talk about all the "tweaks" that you absolutely have to have root for.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
Again, you speak for yourself, I think there is plenty to improve and some of those improvements involve reverting changes Google made that were in my opinion steps backwards. You want to stay stock, do it. Your dime, your choices. For me rooting is win with a drizzling of win on top. There is room in the world for both of us and I'm old and pathetic enough not to feel the need to think I'm smarter than you so I'll give you the last word on it.

As to the ad blockers only editing the host file gives flawless ad blocking without adding another layer which slows down performance and sometimes introduces errors. This is exacerbated if you run a VPN already as I do. Like others I've tried the free options including the snake oil being peddled here and I've yet to use one that works as well as an edited hosts file. I would root my phone for this alone because I have absolutely no downside from root, not one single thing, so even one plus is win.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] seh6183:
If prefer to be rooted, but since it isn't an option I'm not going to sit here and whine about it. I'm going to buy a pixel if I want root or a samsung if I want the best android hardware on the market.
