[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] TheEvilVirus:
ValdarX did you manage to solve this problem? I've got the same thing: restored to stock (saving the user data) and no more OTA available, so stuck on an old version. I guess maybe only full recovery to stock will work.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] ruh01:
Excuse me, I would like to do the same thing, in order to prepare for nougat. My phone is bought from vodafone romania, vodafone branded. It is harpia xt1604. Its specs are shown in picture. Could I flash the Harpia XT1602 firmware RETAIL from here to have it unbranded and to get the latest updates?

Thank you.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] ValdarX:
unfortunately not :(
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] hp420:
I have the same issue. I've tried several times to install the update on my stock xt1607 and it fails every time. I've restored my stock backup from immediately after I unlocked my bootloader...totally unmodified. I get an error in stock recovery saying there was an unexpected change to /system. I even flashed the stock boot logo again, just in case. My only remaining option is a full factory flash, to be completely sure the /system is unmodified.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] hamelg:
me too :(

Before rooting, I did backups of untouched /system /boot, recovery and logo partition.

I've carefully followed this howto and it doesn't work definitively.

On second attempt, I've tried this without success :

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71461568&postcount=64

After rebooting, "Parameters>>About Phone>>System Update" says my phone is up to date and I'm unable to get the OTA. I tried to apply the OTA (Blur_Version.24.201.8.harpia.retail.en.US.zip) downloaded with my current version (MPIS24.241-15.3-7) , I got another error :

Package expects build thumbprint of 6.0.1/MPIS24.241-15.3-16/17 .... or 6.0.1/MPIS24.241-15.3-7/8 ... ; this device has 6.0.1/MPIS24.241-15.3-3/3

So at now, I'm blocked at security level Oct 2016.

Anybody to help us ?
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] rafaelrgi:
Did you try to flash the stock rom through fastboot? Including recovery?
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] hamelg:
Yes, but I flashed only boot.img, logo.bin, recovery.img, system.img_sparsechunk.0 till 7.

I'm a little bit nervous to do a full flash and to be stick with July Patch like ValdarX at comment #6. After a full flash, if something goes wrong, I won't be able to restore my backup.

Edit :

What about to keep my data, can I safely skip erase userdata ?

What is the purpose of the customize partition ?

No need to worry, the only thing you are missing is. It may be possible that you installed fiware not contain Moto upgrade sevice. You should download this from play store. Or download the correct fiware from firmwarecentre
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] ValdarX:
I stand corrected, that works. I'm on Feb 2017 security patches now. Didn't even have to erase userdata.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] seven21075:
I have the same issues again with the next security update -.-

[MENTION=5486917]hamelg[/MENTION] Your advice fixed nothing for me. This night ill flash the whole stock image again.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] PavelBronco:
Does anybody have any experience how/whether this works if the only image available for your phone model now involves a downgrade?

My phone (XT1602 reteu) was delivered with a July 2016 patch level, which corresponds to the only stock image (the XT1602 RETAIL one) I see available for it.

Flashing that to unroot, apply the OTA updates (up to February 2017) and then re-root worked fine, but what about a repeat performance? I originally assumed I could simply start with that stock image again and then apply all OTAs (including any new ones) once more, but I've since learned that the bootloader (and partition table) isn't necessarily downgradable and might cause problems with reapplying the OTAs after downgrading the rest of the phone.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] PavelBronco:
Although at least for the time being never mind - it seems like there are now RETAIL images for both February and May patch levels floating around, which avoids any need to downgrade.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] zohaibkhan143:
Hey guys I have the same issue. I have xT1609 with july 16 patch and my bootloader is locked and when I try to install official ota updates from stock recovery it says status 7 error and stopped installing the update. Can anybody help me with this problem? Using XT1609 with Build no 241-2.35-1
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] DB126:
Rooted or attempted root? If so no OTAs for you due to modification of system partition and/or other 'non-user' partitions the OTA installer checks.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] zohaibkhan143:
I never tried for a root. Flash ota after a full factory reset but still same results
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] DB126:
You keep saying 'flash' which is not the same as a naturally downloaded and applied OTA update. Which is it? Asked this question before; either the Q or A was misunderstood.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] zohaibkhan143:
This is an official ota and installs itself from stock recovery and during installation it shows me status 7 error. Its a natural ota update nothing custom. Oh u the same person I talked in pm with this issue.

One thing I wanna add in this info is that my phone carrier is unlocked. I'm outside USA and not using Verizon so maybe there is some customization done to unlock the carrier. If I install the stock rom again by fasboot then it will come back to normal state I believe but my carrier will be lock after this. Any suggestions?
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] DB126:
Quite possible a Verizon sourced OTA update will not install on an unlocked Verizon handset (could see them doing that). Reinstalling a "stock" ROM from stock recovery may or may resolve the issue depending where/how the unlock detail is stored. No harm is trying provided you have the means to unlock the phone if the stock refresh relocks it. At some point you need to decide if the incremental updates contained in the OTA are worth the hassle.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] zohaibkhan143:
Ok I'll give it a try some day. Thank you again

Hey guys. This was to be the final release of the CleanROM v1.0 and the EBO kitchen, but unfortunately, my computer has decided to take a dump and stop recognizing USB drives amongst many other things. I store all my work on my main external USB drive...

Sooooo.... I'm going to back up a major amount of data and then reinstall windows and THEN I'll be able to access my info... as I can't seem to find my laptop's power adapter... good stuff... with all that I have on my plate at the moment... this might take a while.

I think that you should use 5.1.1 port rom as a base like wizcyan from s4 . Since base would be same you could have some cool features with that anyway its a suggestion , its upto then
[Galaxy S3 Neo General] Tisenoiazei100:
Yes I'm using 5.1.1 port rom as base. I have also the idea to make a clean TW base from a budget Samsung phone an bring TW Nougat features on it but I'm not sure if I have enough knowledge for that ?

Oh, very nice keep up the hard work and hoping there's something new from you <3 btw android version ? 5.1.1 or a port from 6.0.1

btw i'm a g2 user not s3 neo's :P
[Galaxy S3 Neo General] Tisenoiazei100:
It's 5.1.1 maybe I can try bring nougat features on it but first I need to repair my main computer.

Now I have to find alternate kernel as skykernel died because staying with MotionROM ones is s@$#.

I want to add Grand 2 support too in the future but I'm also a bit aware as a Grand 2 user insulted me in Skykernel thread for no reason and I've heard people in Grand 2 XDA community are stealing others work and claim as their own (the reason behind skykernel and skyrom death).

[Galaxy S3 Neo General] Tisenoiazei100:
There might be?(might be! Not sure?) a possibility to boot TW MM from S5 Mini as I've heard people booting tw 6.0.1 using 5.1.1 stuff but just saying.

EDIT: After a guy reported me he got 7.0 to bootanimation with logcat using 6.0.1 stuff on his J5 there might be a possibility of booting 6.0.1 using 5.1.1 stuff too but I'll focus on my ROM first and then I'll try to test Marshmallow how that looks ;)

[Galaxy S3 Neo General] Tisenoiazei100:
I'm happy that you like that ROM so i have 2 questions:

1. Should I add Grand 2 support or keep it S3 Neo only?

2. Should I create a bloated and debloated version or keep debloated as it is?

Στάλθηκε από το SM-G903M μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
[Galaxy S3 Neo General] Korax94:
Since I'm a s3 neo user, I'll answer to the second question.

I think that a bloated version can be useful to those who like a vanilla Samsung experience, personally I love heavily debloated versions :D
[Galaxy S3 Neo General] Tisenoiazei100:
OK I'll redump J3 firmware and throw all the app and priv-app in a separate folder ;).

I'm also thinking to add (Only for S3 Neo) J3 Emerge stuff in it if it's possible as J3 Emerge is 6.0.1 how's that sound??

I'll add support for Grand 2 as I think it would be safe if I don't make a thread on Grand2.

For everyone_______

Progress:

Need to learn a little about GDRIVE so I can upload my test build(tried on mega yesterday but my computer crashes after a few minutes)

Bugs:

WiFi not working

Speaker mode on call distorts audio

I need Qualcomm J3 camera app as spreadtrum one has features designed only for these cameras giving FC.

Other:

I uploaded a new pic you can see a few stuff about RAM (You may not understand the language but you know what's going on)

Also I tried MM 6.0.1 this time gives logcat(in tombstones) but I'm bored replacing bin to bin.

Following your development since a bit and I must say you did a great job :)

Keep on learning, you already did a better rom than the other roms here ;) Just my opinion

Gonna flash your recent build now and will test :)

Just some suggestions my friend :)

1. How to Root?

I tried it with the inbuilt one in TWRP = didnt worked

Magisk didnt worked

Last resort was through CF Root -- It ended up destroying it all and the rom booted up with endless force closes :'D

2. Since I use Snapchat I have to pass SafetyNet with Magisk . But it doesnt works as it seems, the Boot.img included in the rom was used with SuperSU but .. there are no files for SuperSU so Magisk fails to replace SuperSU .

Any idea how you can replace the boot.img with a stock one? :) or is there a way to include SuperSU completely in your rom? :)

3. The Kernel .. is a mess. We really need more Kernels :')

Otherwise than that; Impressive ram. debloated. lightweight. perfect :) !
[Galaxy S3 Neo General] Tisenoiazei100:
New build released!!!!!

NO MORE TESTBUILD!!!

Changelog:

- GPS/Location fixed.

- SkyKernel removed per mods request.

- Little more debloated.

- Refreshed A3 camera with fixed focus(but still incomplete!).

- Enabled previously disabled LED indicator.

- MOTIONROM apk was replaced with a dummy file to pass kernel check.

- Removed tons of SPen libs.

- SkyKernel install code remains in updater-script but it doesn't interrupt installation process.

- Sometimes in alarm menu, it gets white screen. Press home button and open clock from recents. I have no idea why it does that :b.

Bugs :

- Camera Have Many Bugs Because Camera Of A3 Is 13 MP And It Will Crash In S3 Neo

Need Fix Or Replace With Motion ROM Camera

Features :

Theme Store Is Fully Working :laugh:

It's Real A3 Port With All Animations Like Lock Off Animations

And More...
[Galaxy S3 Neo General] Tisenoiazei100:
The reason M&G animations do not work is the lack of ASTC decoder. It looks worse when you port cheaper phones framework trust me?. Resolutions in camcorder and front remain to be fixed at camera app but you can use open camera for videos and front.

[Galaxy S3 Neo General] iKeramat:
I know you ported a3 lollipop rom with all apps so you ported settings too

But its really like s6 lollipop

I had it and it had animation on that part they are qmg or png files you can add them

And for camera,i told you was worked great and fully ported camera but for users its not important. they just want stable rom with none bug

So you can't change s3neo or grand 2 hardware for fix camera you should delete parts camera not working in the rom

So i offer use motion camera it don't have crash and fully working and its like a3 lollipop[emoji4]

hello very goood rom,after open front camera,camera is stop(crash) how to fix camera back :) sorry for my bad ang.
[Galaxy S3 Neo General] iKeramat:
Hi you can still motion rom camera for fix front camera for now
[Galaxy S3 Neo General] Tisenoiazei100:
The reason camera app FC is resolution issues. I'm trying to find which resolutions Camcorder and front are using so i can replace them and we can have Camera app fully working.

I had also GraceUX camera port from my old "TW-MM GraceUX under SkyROM" test and it worked great on A3 Hybrid but deleted it with all the J2 Prime files.

[Galaxy S3 Neo General] Tisenoiazei100:
For SUPERSU.

Flash ROM and everything you want(Kernels, fixes) and then flash SU.

For Samsung Account, The intention of these apks are adding account to theme store, nothing else. You can download Kies apk, maybe it helps with contact sync

Yes, i know, Chainfire is maintaining the flashable ZIPs only these days, the app from play store will take time to get updated, but versions above 2.79 still doesn't work for all, so i recommend sticking to v2.79 :good:
