[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Hmm, I'm not aware of any guides specifically dealing with lost Wi-Fi and lost mobile signal. There are a few posts where we've had some success in getting radios back, but it involves either hex editing https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72340548&postcount=98 or flashing hw, modem or fsg partitions from a working device (in this case, XT1641) The instances I've seen of lost Wi-Fi/mobile signal appear to have occurred during a stock ROM fastboot flash, but hoping someone can chime in as to whether it was just flashing the wrong region firmware or something else.

If you want to back up your kernel in TWRP:

Boot to TWRP

Tap 'Backup' on the main menu

Select only the 'boot' partition - this is the partition that contains your kernel (should be stock and clean if you've not rooted).

Rename the file to remind you it's your kernel.

Swipe to back up.

If you need to revert to this kernel, unroot first (depending on your root manager, you may have to boot and then unroot. I recall SuperSU unroots via the SuperSU app settings), then boot to TWRP.

Tap 'Restore' on the main menu

Navigate to your boot backup

Flash your boot backup

You should now have a clean stock kernel, so if you wish to switch root managers, you should be able to obtain root with your new root manager. We want a clean kernel (no modifications made) since uninstalling the old root may leave traces of root on your existing kernel, and thus may cause issues if you re-root with a different manager.

Good luck in rooting :)

That's perfect thank you so much. Am I right to assume that if I get into a jam then I can just restore/reflash my backups and I'll be back to normal?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] reCoded:
To be safe, flash the ElementalX kernel before rooting.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] lemonlimejones:
See this is where I get confused, the guy above you said ElementalX isn't needed on Marshmallow but you say i should use it anyway? I've seen a few differing opinions on what should and shouldn't be done, just not sure which one is the right answer.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
ElementalX v0.07 is not required on Marshmallow (provided you are planning on staying on 6.0.1), you can root the stock ROM kernel. You may wish to flash the ElementalX kernel anyway as this custom kernel gives you more control and tuning options compared to the stock kernel. On stock Nougat, because the anti-rooting kernel security is much stricter and enforced (whereas on Marshmallow I don't think it's enforced), then you need ElementalX or vegito or a custom kernel to bypass the security, by in effect replacing the stock secure kernel with a kernel that doesn't have those restrictions. Without replacing the stock kernel on stock Nougat systems, you can run into a bootloop.

As an MM kernel as mentioned before has weaker security regarding rooting, it's up to you if you choose to root the stock kernel or ElementalX.

I've rooted MM (MPJ24.139-63) in the past with SuperSU (v2.79) and only used TWRP and SuperSU.

In response to your other post, the backups should get you out of a jam, since what you're doing should only affect the partitions you've backed up previously (they in theory shouldn't go anywhere near your modem, bootloader or critical firmware). Bear in mind that the TWRP backup if restored in full will revert your messages and data to that backup. You may wish to use Titanium Backup or other tools to take occasional snapshots of your apps data that you can restore should you have to roll back.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] reCoded:
If you're on Nougat, then you should use ElementalX. If you're on Marshmallow, you don't need it.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] lemonlimejones:
Right on, I think I feel comfortable with this now! One more question though, with newer versions of SuperSU is it still necessary to make the command echo systemless=true or was that mostly for older versions? Also if that part is needed, should I run SuperSU from the data folder in TWRP?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
The 'echo systemless=true', as I understand it, isn't required on SuperSU 2.79 or newer, so if you're flashing 2.82, you should be able to flash as is without having to run the command too :) Also makes uninstalling easier!

Silicone case from Cafele

Sits perfectly Pts like BUT there are nuances. The buttons are closed, pressed well, smoothly. Transparent but sensitive darkens visible on the photo, inside is perforated. It does not seem to stick to the back of the back, the corners are thicker than the ribs. The ribs in the middle do not protrude, but they easily move out if desired, if you hit your finger (where the buttons are), it's like a cover holds on the corners, and in the middle where the ribs play freely, but not critical (but I do not like it). If it were more plastic , like a native (like would be ideal for 100%), the middle would also be stiff and would not play and when the plastic drops better than a thin silicone of the order of 2 mm slips like the native sits tightly. Cover in the level from the screen (as well as native) glued glass, on the edges of the glass does not interfere.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zarreck:
I have been trying to setup my phone with a fresh install of marshmallow and have been having significant issues, and was hoping someone could point out what I'm doing correctly.

I attempted to move from an old install of 32.1.A.1.163 to Android 7, which I have working, but realized xposed is not available and am attempting to downgrade and do a fresh install again to get magisk working.

I have downloaded the firmwares to 32.1.A.1.163, 32.2.A.0.224, and 32.2.A.0.253, as well as matching kernels. I've attempted the majority of the marshmallow kernels on the android development side for E6883, matching them with their firmware as best I could(primarily the permissive rootable MM on .163, aurkernel on .224, and 32.2.A.0.253 kernel).

The firmware installs work correctly, boots perfectly several times, it's installing the kernel that fails. I am flashing it through adb fastboot or flashtool(tried both).

Kernels typically do one of two things:

1) Boot to Android is starting, then freezes, red LED flashes, and bootloops

2) Boots once perfectly if I install the kernel at the same time as firmware, then does #1 when I restart

Clearing the dalvik cache does not seem to help android start.

If anyone has any tips, help, or even an alternative kernel I could try I would be much obliged! My aim is to get a standard magiskSU/TWRP/Magisk Xposed build running.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sagar_1401:
well it's estimated that moto z2 force is gonna cost for apx $621.49/- which i personally think is costly and not worth it

pros:

snapdragon 835(faster ovbio.. u will get updates more quicker & better performance)

dual camera (which is good feature)

shaterproof screen (nice)

5.5 quadhd amoled (nice)

cons:

battery (2730mAh) not worth

no audio jack (upto you)

moto mods... (too costly)

4GB ram... (one plus 5 has released phones upto 8GB and moto still at 4GB)

wall charger now gives 12W instead of 20W power (won't charge quick like moto x style/pure)

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NahuelMS:
The Moto Z play was a phone whose quality construction was the worst. The back "glass" scratched with only seeyin it, the cámera lens wasn't even scratch prof so it gets scratched too. The screen was mounted in a way that with a 10cm fall it break in 10 pieces. Lenovo chose to save cents in a 450 USD phone just putting in it the worse materials ever.

Eveen with this in mind it is a phone wich become a sales record just for his amazin battery life, like 12 hours of SoT in some cases.

Now what is even even even more amazing that what they did with the Z2 force, is how they cut the battery of the Z Play in their Z Play 2, to release a phone a little bit tiny with almost the same processor, the same screen and similar cameras, justo to price it 150 U$D more. Not only they cut the battery mAh in 600mah, it doesn't last even the half of the Z Play wich was a succes for his battery life. All of this just to gain 1mm less Lol.

Really i don't know what they are thinking about, maybe they think they are going to sell more mods in this way but only a monkey will pay so much for a phone that much overpriced with poor battery life. To this just add the shi**y customer services and support they had. I am just crossing my fingers for Nokia to come worldwide.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The battery isn't too bad since it's less than 10% smaller than the Pure's with the addition of a more efficient processor and an AMOLED display help balance it out

The extra memory is nice, but it won't make too much of a difference in the day to day use that I have

The shatter-proof display is really cool, but it's plastic and can be scratched so easily, at that point I'd rather have a glass screen and a screen protector

I could never see myself buying a moto mod because of them being too pricey along with me preferring to have a case on at all times

The dual camera thing is nice, but I'm perfectly satisfied with the single camera on the Pure. The Camera bump is also terrible and I'd hate to deal with that if I couldn't have a case on

The lack of dual front facing speakers is a pretty big downside for me, but I'd be willing to deal with it if the phone had more pros

I personally hate the way Moto has implemented the fingerprint scanner since it can't be used as a home button and the software buttons are still there just wasting screen real-estate

It's being shipped with an already out of date version of Nougat (7.1.1) and then it'll get O and (maybe) P. The only thing I would be happy about in regards to the updates is the possibility of them being delivered more quickly

Finally, the price. Assuming that everyone here that is thinking about switching from the Pure, (based on the current prices from Swappa and Ebay) you'll probably get about $200 from a 16GB used Pure. Then you could get it for about $520 (assuming that you buy the phone for $720). Ultimately, this is a bad deal and nowhere near worth it for me

You are likely missing an important piece here... those apps running, are RUNNING, in other words they are doing stuff like accessing the processor, sensors, storage, etc.

[troll]Logic says your thought that having more RAM's reduces power consumption is flawed... if anything it is the opposite, more RAM will likely require more power because the more stuff in RAM, the more things running and doing stuff, thus using more battery.[/troll]

Sorry, but this topic has been debated to death since different RAM variants of otherwise identical Android devices came out and the consensus is that the amount of RAM in otherwise similar devices has no noticeable impact on battery consumption... Do you see reviews where a difference in battery life is noted between say the Moto G5 Plus 2/32GB and 4/64GB models, the OP5's 6GB or 8GB variant, or the Redmi Note 4 which comes in a 2, 3, and 4GB variant? No... why? Because there is no difference in battery consumption. There is potential of difference for many other things related specifically to RAM, but not battery life.

Show me a review or article that is from a verifiable, reputable source that states the contrary and explains WHY it would take more power and I will gladly read it.

There is also the piece we haven't mentioned, that a device should never have more than 10-15% of free RAM anyway... this is a Linux based OS, meaning free RAM is wasted RAM. :)

Pure vs Z2 Force vs Z2 Play Unlocked??

I agree with folks 100% who are disappointed with the Z2 Force. I had high hopes for this phone but Moto/Lenovo really underwhelmed and overcharged us.

That said, what are folks thoughts about the Z2 Play Unlocked that is now available on pre-order? It hits all my buttons except it would be nice to have a processor that will be ready for Gigabit LTE.

My biggest reservation right now is whether or not the unlocked version (Z2 Play) will support WiFi Calling on Verizon. All the MXP discussion on WiFi Calling that I've found seem to date back to when WiFi Calling was a new feature on Verizon and I'm wondering if people have since gotten it to work for the Moto X Pure. I know that the experience with the MXP won't necessarily translate to the Z2 Play Unlocked on Verizon but insight from the MXP crowd would be greatly appreciated.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
