I must admit that is out of my league.. Sorry :(

You saying the radio is turned off and can't receive calls? You don't have signal?

In the 'Phone Information', in the button of the page, there is a option that say 'Turn Radio On/OFF', try it.

But... You say you have some modem files, right? If is the same I used when I change to a custom ROM, maybe can help. Try flashing that files in TWRP.

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------

Sorry, I remember now one thing...

Which fastboot ROM you use? China Stable or Dev?

Try use the Dev ROM and in Miflashtool, select 'Clean All' option.

Hope this work
[General Topics] camilleisfunky:
Thanks. I tried all those things many times before. My radio functionality is faulty. I cannot enable the radio.
[General Topics] DracoXXI:
Then only by test points, don't see any other options.. At least for now..
[General Topics] camilleisfunky:
What is the benefit of using test points vs fastboot?

Thanks
[General Topics] DracoXXI:
Well... The test points is more for when the phone is really mess up, phone don't boot, not enter the 'fastboot', etc... normally know as 'hard brick'. It's the "ultimate" recovery.

In the PM I send to you, there is a link to a post in the official forum explaining where, and 'how to' do.

But... If you are not comfortable doing that, then, don't do.

Anyway... I can't help you more, sorry :(

Try asking in the official forum for help. They are more active than here.

No response?

172 view, no answers :-/. Guys tell me: Is it due to the length of the text? Is it something else? I could split it up in several questions, but I though that this would be unwanted.

And I will be thankful for every help on either of the bold buzzwords, it is not like you need to comment on everything ;)
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] tag68:
Must have for me: correct timestamps when moving or copying files using TC. Only possible with root.

Unlock only: yes makes sense. Unlock is the part where you lose all data, and then you can use fastboot boot to make backup. Rooting itself should not lose any data, so it is advantageous to unlock early. Root has time.

Lost functionality: on most devices using Magisk 12 you can pass SafetyNet, which means you can use Android pay, play Pokemon go etc, but the apps trying to detect root/unlocked devices get changed and may not work anymore at some time. Probably you will have lost this possibility when starting with unlocked bootloader and need to install Magisk to get green SafetyNet. Magisk hides the unlocked bootloader.

OTA: do a backup of boot partition before rooting, do no modifications on other partitions than data, cache and boot and you should be fine restoring boot partition to do OTA. It's easy to overlook some app using root to write system, logo, recovery, something, but backup should help. Or install complete firmware, then OTA is possible again.

Note: I do not have the device, just saw the questions which have the same answers for all current Motorola Android devices - you may search in general forums or forums for similar devices for answers ;)
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] ckret:
OTA updates: if you are rooted you have tempered with the system partition and therefore ota are not easily installed

Encryption:it is possible to wipe the phone and use if you are unlocked

Backup functionality Google already does backup some settings natively. you can still do an adb backup even without root

Safety: if they are techies they know how to access files via twrp etc. but worst thing is they just wipe it and use the phone

Root Functionality: root gives some apps access to the system partition which is not possible normaly. if you installe some dubious app which wants access to root to mess with your system you are lost.

Unlock Bootloader only: you need to unlock the phone to root it. by unlocking your phone is wiped clean. than you can root it. the advantage of installing twrp are the "easy backups" and installing custom roms or even root. there are no real advantages or disadvantages anymore. earlier you had to unlock/root/install custom rom to have some extra functionalities but android did mature and has most functions built in

Root Must Have: there may be some system limits which you can bypass with root like headphne volume limit, reading wifi passwords or/and having systemwide adblock. I personally do not see a benefit anymore. I used to root for having system-wide adblock but I can achieve it with rootless apps like adguard.

Feature Loss: you will lose android pay. you can not use some apps like mario run or pokemon go. you will lose OTA feature.

Third Party Trust: actually I dont know. with the custom rom base growing I only trust official lineageOS as it is review by many people before building. therefore the chance is reduced to have some spyware feature in it
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] critofur:
I too would like to know, has the source code to ANY custom ROMs been reviewed by third party to verify no malicious code?

Although I worry that some ROMs could violate my data privacy, root is something that I simply cannot willingly go without - if I don't have root access, it's simply not *MY* phone, it's a phone that is configured to someone else's [some company's] desires and priorities.

I'm disappointed that the built in tethering does an "entitlement" check - AFAIK it's actually illegal (or, at least against contracts the companies signed with the FCC) for the cell phone provider to attempt to control what a user does with their allotted amount of cell data. Yes, the cell provider company can decide how MUCH data you are allowed based on what plan you pay for, but they are not supposed to restrict HOW you use YOUR data. Therefore, I demand unrestricted "tethering" from any smart phone that I use.

There are other apps I like to use that require root access: Root file explorers, Titanium Backup, Smarter WiFi Manager, Greenify/Servicely etc., but most of all, I CANNOT STAND the intrusive obnoxious awful ads which seem to be prevalent these days! A good ad blocker is an absolute must! The blame rests squarely on the shoulders of the websites which allow such awful advertisements such as "pop behind" windows and particularly, ads which cause the web page scroll to constantly keep jumping away from what you are trying to read making the site basically unusable. There is also lately a prevalence of "click bait" ads/links which brings you to malicious/obnoxious websites which popup dialogs trying to stop you from closing the web page or navigate away - they put up big flashing red letters and say things like "We have detected a virus on your computer do not close this window or your passwords will be stolen and your data lost" and when you try to close the page it keeps popping up a dialog making it difficult. Sorry, but, such ads simply can't be tolerated - even this [xda] website sometimes has unpleasant ads, or at least there were times when I really regretted turning off my ad blocker when visiting this site in the past, that is for sure!

I usually use a "custom ROM", I miss exposed very much, but, I suspect there are too many malwares in the xposed repository these days? (I'm not sure of this, just suspicious).

I like to be able to change the color of my status bar clock to green and position it in the center as that is easier for me to use (see it quickly when I want). However, the standard launcher is far too limited in how customizable it is, so I use a combination of Nova Prime (requires root for some features) and Chronos Weather/Clock/Calendar widget which puts a larger clock right in the upper middle of my desktop so I turn off the status bar clock (Nova Prime feature, one that requires root).

Oh, and I like to use a custom "System Font", I'm not sure if we can do that without root? It really makes the phone feel like MY phone and look (and operate) how I want it to.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] sky-head:
Could you explain the entitlement check a little further? Does it mean that with the current Android version and an unrooted/locked G5 plus it is impossible to use the Smartphone Mobile data connection, e.g. on a notebook via wifi tethering? This would be a real argument to root.

Did you try adguard, as ckret suggested? Is there a huge difference between an adblocker with root or an adblocker like adguard without root on the phone? I basically assume that with nougat it is possible to grant apps access to almost anything (except for root) - including to block features other apps use, e.g. advertisements. But I am actually not sure.

Maybe ckret knows more on this aspect, as he seems to know both adblock concepts - the rooted and the unrooted one with adguard?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] tag68:
Comparing DNS66 (local DNS server without root) with adaway (root):

+ You can select blocking per app with DNS66, adaway modifies hosts file which always is valid for all apps and system services

- You can not use another VPN while DNS66 is active

- You need to disable VPN under Nougat while using Download Manager (bug in Nougat, for all VPN services)

Personally I have root, but use DNS66. I don't need adblock when connecting to my computer at home (that's when I need to use another VPN) and am using Marshmallow ATM, but probably would continue using DNS66 when on Nougat. For PlayStore there is a workaround implemented, and if some download fails I'd know I need to disable VPN.

This is why I only said Total Commander copying timestamp is my only real killer app (besides Titanium Backup) which makes me need root. Android O is supposed to change the behavior implementing SDCardFS which shall allow setting timestamp without root.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] ckret:
adaway:

adaway replaces the hosts file in your system with a custom hosts file which redirects some requests to 127.0.0.1 which results in ads not being shown

since it is deeplevel change of the hosts file the app requires root to change the file

pro:

* ads are blocked when resources are requested

* it is system-wide and everything is checked on demand

con:

* system slows down with big hosts file as every request must be checked everytime a site/app is opened

* if a wrong request is blocked your app/site might not show/work at all since it is a system-wide check

adguard:

this app has two different ways of blocking ads

vpn: a local vpn server is created on the system and all requests are rerouted through it. works the same way as adaway but without a root access.

pro:

* rootless method

* you can create a bypass for different sites/apps

con:

* you can not use a 2nd vpn connection while the app is active

* it may use a bit more battery as it creates a server but this should be negligible

proxy: this is nearly the same as vpn just you should be able to use a vpn connection

so big pro and con for me is that i do not have to reroute all apps through the adblock check

important apps (banking e.g.) are free to use the connection without being rerouted.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] sky-head:
I know it might seem like a stupid question, but how often (and for which reason) do you use/need a(nother) VPN connection?

Does this also mean things like tethering or a WLAN access like eduroam - or is this something different?

I am actually not sure if I ever needed VPN on my smartphone :)
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] ckret:
you need a vpn connection if you want to access the intranet without being physically there

e.g. intranet of a company to access emails or if you are a student and got some special tool/e.g. which can only be accessed through the university connection

most times you will only use vpn on a notebook or pc but I hardly doubt most people will use it on their phones
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] sky-head:
... exactly what I was thinking about it. I've never been needing a VPN on my phone. On the notebook I need it on a regular basis, thats true.

I should have been asking "I know it might seem like a stupid question, but how often (and for which reason) do you use/need a(nother) VPN connection on your smartphone?", to state my question more precisely.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] tag68:
Using AVM Fritzbox as router makes it possible to use the standard phone via SIP. This only does work when you're in your intranet, directly or via VPN. Also I need to access my documents on my computer, my media library at home, to configure the router and more and therefore I use VPN on a regular basis. Yes, I do these things using the smartphone. But when using VPN, I do not need adblock.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaddiM8:
I tried to unlock the bootloader of my LG L Bello 2 phone, and after rebooting in recovery mode it would start. I tried holding down volume down and power button but nothing happened! So I plugged it in my computer, and it keeps getting connected and disconnected, even after I unplugged the battery and put it in again so it should've been turned off. It seems like the phone turns on without me pressing the power button.

1. I take out battery and put it back in

2. I connect it to the computer

3. Computer makes noises as it's getting connected and disconnected all the time, but it still never gets recognized by the computer. I tried LGs tools but it won't work as it isn't connected for long enough.

4. Volume down + power button trick doesn't work. Nothing happens. That's the first thing I tried.

(I hear no sounds, and it doesn't vibrate or anything, I only know it has some life because the computer made noises when I have it plugged in)

Any ideas? I've tried everything
[M.O.J.O. General] greevedogg:
I have my M.O.J.O. in my living room and I use it for SPMC(kodi)/NetFlix/Hulu/etc and not much gaming. But I was researching and came across articles such as https://www.engadget.com/2013/11/10/nvidia-gamestream-third-party-devices/

So, the question is: Did nvidia gamestream capabilities ever make it over to the M.O.J.O. or was it all just hype on Mad Catz's part to sell more units? And if it was never officially brought over to the M.O.J.O., is it still possible? Or is it just a waste of time and energy at this point?

I'm looking at wanting to possibly play some pc steam games from the comfort of my living room, so I'm entertaining all options at this point. Do I sell the M.O.J.O. and by a Shield TV? Do I buy a Steam Link? Are there other options?

Hi [MENTION=3190637]greevedogg[/MENTION] It did make it to the MOJO... only via a third party client. The project is called Moonlight

It works amazingly well, I've played for hours streaming from my PC to my MOJO

A couple of suggestions: Firstly I found my MOJO starts jittering after playing on in for anything over half an hour. I eventually found out that the MOJO was over heating. I guess it's working pretty hard with all that streaming. I found that if i stand it on it's side, leaving a little gap underneath, there will be better airflow, and it no longer jitters.

Also they suggest using ethernet instead of WIFI, I can agree with this, you get serious lag if you play over WIFI... don't even try it. I play on an ethernet over power adapter and it works perfectly.

You need at least an Nvidia 650 card, and I found it necessary to manually add some games, as they weren't always detected by the Nvidia client.

High FPS games worked perfectly - like DIRT3 but point and clicks are more fun when lying on the couch :) - have fun with your MOJO

You can find the play store link here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.limelight.root

[M.O.J.O. General] greevedogg:
Thanks [MENTION=819433]timjharvey[/MENTION]! Yeah, I actually stumbled upon the Moonlight option after posting this thread! I had 2 Radeon 1gb video cards in crossfire set up on my pc, but I just switched them out for a 4gb GTX 1050 Ti card, so I could try out Moonlight. Like you said, it works surprising well, from what I have tested out so far... I only tried Counterstrike: Source for a brief moment the other night with a crappy BT keyboard. In the near future, I'll hook up a better set up and load up another game. I am hard-wired with ethernet, so it's pretty snappy there. Traditionally, I'm more of a keyboard and mouse gamer, but I might try to get used to the C.T.R.L.R. if it'll map out keys correctly...I think I'll also try to hook up the good kb & m just for s & g's.

You don't need to use greenify if you are on MIUI.

So let's get started.

Almost every XDA members are so advanced and most pf them uses greenify to save battery and increase performance of their device. As we know greenify freezes the apps to stop running background.

But if you are on MIUI you don't need to use greenify if you want. MIUI has the feature to freeze apps and do the same thing as greenify.

Here's how:

★ Go to settings

★ Navigate to Battery and Performance

★ Select Manage apps battery app usage.

★ Now you'd find OFF and ON to options on power saving mode.

★ Now tap 'ON' 5 times rapidly and you'd find another option named 'Ultimate'. It actually freezes apps from running background soon after the screen goes off.

★ Select Ultimate and enjoy.

[ If you want an app with no restrictions then you can select the app from Chose app option. For example, I set Google apps and Messenger apps to no restrictions as I need Google Assistant and Messenger all the time running. ]

Thank You.

It's hidden cuz it's for advanced users. Most of the user don't even know what is hibernating an app. So they don't care. Again it'd decrease multitasking performance. So the authority kept it hidden.

See my two Screen Shots.

Actually I don't use any other tweaks to save battery. What I have done is, I set my recent button long press option to ' Force Close current app'

So when I'm leaving an app, I just FC it pressing recent button instead of exiting the app by default. So the app can't run background and the result is amazing for me.

Besides I've found my battery is much more healthy than other users. Maybe I'm lucky. I purchased my friend a Mi5 also ( 32 GB). He also get around 6 hrs+ SoT.

I didn't even try to use any tweaks to save battery. As I close app manually, I don't even use ultimate mode for battery saving.
