[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You should probably use the PIT so that it will restore your partitions to their correct order and sizes.

To flash the PIT, do exactly like you did when you flashed your firmware, put the firmware in the AP slot, then find the tab that says PIT, place the PIT there, then find the "options" tab in Odin, select "re-partition", this option tells Odin to use the PIT, you don't need to mess with the other options, they are fine at their default settings, all you need to mess with is selecting re-partition.

To help with not connecting to your service provider, did you make sure the firmware was for your region? Did you make sure it's compatible with your network type and and it's signal bands? Networks are different everywhere so you need to flash a stock firmware that is compatible with your region and carrier. I was hoping that a region that uses the same language as you would work, but it looks like you'll have to use a firmware that is compatible with your network and then after flashing you can manually change the language the firmware uses, if needed.

Or maybe you can leave the firmware you have flashed then download a firmware that has a compatible modem.bin and extract that modem.bin and flash it on your device to replace the modem.bin you have. You might can even find a compatible modem available for download without having to extract it from another firmware.

Have you tried emailing or calling your service provider to ask them which stock firmware for your model is compatible with their network? They might provide you with what you need or at least tell you exactly what you need so you can find it yourself.

Who is your service provider and what country are you in? I'll see what I can figure out for you.

How does one figure out which is the right version to download for my phone? There are changelist numbers, PDA and CSC numbers, all of which tell me nothing. When I flashed to the UK version, it turned out to be with T-Mobile, and the carriers listed were Bell and Telus. I am with Speakout, (a 7-11 product) which piggybacks on the Rogers network. I have a pay as you go account with no data. It works on the GSM network. I live in Calgary, Canada.

cheers

I just flashed the phone again using the same firmware but this time adding the 16GB PIT file and repartitioning. Got a Pass from Odin but no change in the available storage. It still says I have only 8GB total storage. Thinking bad memory?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] likwidoxigen:
Did some comparisons between the Moto G5 plus and my old ASUS Zenfone 2. As soon as I started using it the colors seemed off, everything had this weird olive greenish hue and It didn't make any sense because launcher/homes seemed fine. But I'd browse a website, play pokemon go, or look at instagram and things were just washed out and dull while at the same time parts looked fine.

Finally found a test that explains what I was seeing and it's not good news. I was running the latest firmware with the volte fix. The app i used is called "DIsplay Tester" by "Brainntrapp" and open the test was "Banding, Contrast, Saturation" test. There are so many colors just missing on the G5 Plus the gradient looks horrible. The banding you see on the G5 plus was not visible in real life but the missing colors and hardness of the gradient was. Photos were taken with a Nikon D90 and Tamron 17-50 2.8.

The screen was driving me nuts so I didn't mess around with getting a replacement or sending to Moto to fix because I couldn't live with it if it didn't get resolved. I'll just have to keep looking/waiting for a replacement to my old zenfone.

Figured if any of you were having issues you could see if yours is similar, also curious to hear if you're _not_ having this issue as well which means it may make sense to buy once production issues are fixed.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Dahenjo:
I can't really tell any difference between Vibrant and Standard, but don't see any banding as in yours and think they look pretty decent imo.

The screen is on the less vibrant side than some others, but colors appear very accurate/realistic and the sharpness of detail is very good. My Moto X Pure screen is 1440p with more color depth but it has a yellowish tint to the whites in comparison. Coming from the Pure at first I thought the G5+ screen was going to be too bland, but after using it awhile I like its softer look which seems easier on the old eyes while still being very viewable.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] likwidoxigen:
I agree there's a really minimal difference between vibrant and standard. However, you took screenshots which will not show any issues as the actual data being sent is correct so we can't know if your screen does or doesn't have this issue. I had to take a picture of the screen with my DSLR and included my ASUS for comparison as a way to demonstrate the issue.

In the pictures I took, the hard breaks you see between the colors in the G5 are supposed to be smooth gradients and there is a ton of blue missing from the panel as well. This isn't just an issue of the screen being generally desaturated this is an uneven distribution of missing/desaturated colors. If it doesn't bother you that's certainly fine but it's very much an issue with the screen that should be addressed as it means that it is incapable of accurately reproducing colors even if the reproduction is pleasing to some. The banding I'm referring to is in the green section on my pictures and was not visible in real life and some form of artifact from taking the photo.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Dahenjo:
Sorry, I misread and thought you were referring to the banding as the main issue. I do see the more distinct color separation or breaks when looking at it directly in the app in either color mode. Just ran Display Tester on my Moto X Pure which shows the much more gradual blending (like on your ASUS) when looking at both phones side by side, although it should costing $150 more.

So it does indicate the G5+ lacks in color depth, something I noticed right away but which hasn't seemed like a minus after using it. The sharpness and wide viewing angles still seem like good quality, perhaps because it's IPS. But now I'm wondering if the KCAL features included in the latest extended stock kernel might help adjust things to look better.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] likwidoxigen:
That's part of why this confuses me so much. The sharpness and viewing angles are amazing for an IPS panel I'm not sure if IPS has anything to do with the colors (the ASUS is also IPS). I'd be very curious if KCAL helps as it seems like it should be able to, it could also be as simple as a bad color mode on the panel driver? I'd love to see a comparison from a custom rom to stock. I'm very split on thinking it's a software issue or it's a hardware issue. I don't have enough knowledge or experience to really do anything useful, but I'm hoping that providing the info gives others an ability/info to understand and look into it.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Dahenjo:
KCAL greatly improves the 'banding, contrast, saturation' result in Display Tester, which now looks as good as your ASUS or my MXPE once I found a good range of settings. Even on KCAL's initial settings the color gradients looked drastically better, so whatever was causing the lousy color depth definitely seems to be corrected by it as the screen looks excellent now.

I'm running on stock using the extended kernel btw. Maybe someone using a custom ROM can post on whether the colors are noticeably better than on stock and also test it in DT for comparison. Seems it'd be more of a driver or configuration error or bug than something hardware related, so maybe Lenovorola will be able to fix it with an update.

Please share your current Kcal config .

How can I activate srgb mode on Moto G5 Plus
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Dahenjo:
What we have to help with the washed-out screen is KCAL support available in both custom kernels (ElementalX and Extended Stock) on this forum. After installing either kernel you'll need to use either EX Kernel Manager app or Kernel Adiutor app (both at Playstore) to access the color control settings. I also found the Display Tester app mentioned above useful for checking how the settings I made looked. My screen looks terrific now.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] sticktornado:
I found that setting Saturation to 45 brings the best improvement, while setting Value to 135 brings another slight improvement.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] guitarsmurf2501:
That's indeed a very good setting. Thanks!
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] username8611:

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] melashake:
So if I'm getting it right I have to run kcal v1.2 on my moto g5 plus and from there I have access to color controls, is that correct?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] dollarpapa:
Unfortunately, I have this same issue, although I didn't realize it, because my wife used the phone on the wifi to talk on Facebook so I ran out of time to return it.

What makes it worse is that it's the amazon-ads version so I can't even root it.

I put this phone right next to 3 other phones (with all LCD screens to be fair) and the difference is kinda shocking. The G5plus looks like it's been bleached, all the colors are faded, like I pulled some sliders to make it less vibrant and more black/white.

My wife didn't notice it, since she was using a basic phone until she got herself a new phone and told me, that "how come this looks more colorful?" That's when I took a better look at the G5plus.

After using it as my daily driver for a week, this phone got some serious color issues. Interestingly the pictures I took looked awful on this phone, but when I looked at the same pics (uploaded to google photos) on my PC, they look ok, not missing any colors.

Another issue I noticed. I turned off auto screen brightness OFF, because it just doesn't work.

I walk out to sunshine and the screen won't brighten and when I walked inside it won't darken so I ended up manually changing the brightness.

Here is the interesting (or rather annoying) part: When I turn the brightness up, it seems like it makes the whites more glowing, while the dark /black (let's say a shadow of a tree) just either stays too dark or turns more grey, instead of brighter. It's like the brightness control is controlling the exposure and contrast only.

Despite I see youtube videos talking about its 4K video capability, I think this phone makes terrible videos, especially how the camera applies too much contrasts and the HDR doesn't help it.

I also believe, that it's not all and every single device have this problem, because I'm sure I'd seen more complaints. It's just horrible quality control, and that's Lenovo for you.

I tried color tuning apps, but nothing seem to work. It probably requires a root but since it's an Amazon phone, it won't help it. So the phone works great as a phone, it just have an awful screen and a mediocre camera

This phone may have been enough in 2016 and 17 with these weaknesses as a budget, but seeing all the new budget Chinese phones coming out this year, I would not recommend this phone unless you can pick it up for $100 or less.

This phone is going into my drawer as soon as my new LG G6 arrives and the G5plus will be only used as a backup phone. There is no way I would keep using this as a daily driver unless I have no other choice.

I followed this post and everything looked fine but found out that recovery isn't working.

For my first attempt I used a pre-rooted fw (23.5.A.1.291 - Unbranded - CE1 from here).

I tried again, everything from scratch, this time creating my own pre-rooted fw with dual-recovery and supersu. I was able to start recovery to flash the fw but this time the phone doesn't seem to be rooted (no sign of superSu anywhere).

Any ideas?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fluffi444:
Install SuperSU from playstore additionally. It happens sometimes that the app was not installed or didn't show up.

Otherwise

But I would recommend this way: https://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/recovery-root-mm-575-lb-t3418714

Start from scratch:

Flash full unrooted original 291 via flashtool and then follow the linked instuctions. Note the needed kernel change.

Keep in mind to rename file extension from kernel575.zip to kernel575.ftf and kernel291.zip to kernel291.ftf (ONLY rename - no unzipping)

Afterwards flash SuperSU.zip from recovery.

There used to be an option in the photo gallery to move photos to a private folder but that seems to be gone on the S8. I don't know if it has been gone since before the S8 came out because I haven't had a Samsung phone for a while.

Does anybody know if that option is available or can be put back?

This thread is for those who wish to have 3 Minit battery mod on their phone! Steps to install:

1. Install the 3 Minit Battery Resources.apk first like you would any other app.

2. Take the system ui mod for the rom you are running (VERY IMPORTANT ONLY FOR THE ROM YOUR RUNNING) and delete the name so it just reads systemui (e.g. ResurrectionRemix7.1.2systemui.apk should read systemui.apk when you install it)

3. Save your original systemui.apk somewhere on your phone for safe keeping!

4. Copy and paste the new modded systemui.apk over your existing systemui.apk

5. Your systemui will most likely f/c and go black then come back up. Once it does change permisons to rw-r-r and your done

6. Enjoy your new battery mods!

7. Go to the Google Play Store and look up 3 minit battery, you will see an app for purchase if you like,it has thousands of cool batteries!!

So far it is just Resurrection Remix that this can be used on, so please do not try to load a systemui for another rom. As I get more systemui's sent to me I will post for different roms!!
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Archangel:
Important things to remember:

1. Only pick the systemui for the rom your running. Anything else will cause major problems and I am not responsible for something if it goes wrong.

2. Save your exsisting systemui in a folder on your phone just in case problems.

3. ALWAYS do a back up prior to doing any system mod. It is like hell trying to get back in your system if you have a systemui f/c, trust me.

4. If you would like the 3 Minit Battery mod on your rom then send me your systemui untouched and unmodded and I will post it back here for everyone to enjoy!

Here you go brother. Remember, install the minit resources apk first or it wont work. Then copy and paste the new systemui.apk over your old one, it will f/c then should come back, change permissions rw-r-r,,then download the 3 minit battery.apk from the Play Store and chose your battery, enjoy!

- flash boot + recovery (like in https://xdaforums.com/moto-m/how-to/bootloader-unlock-custom-recovery-t3565074 )
