xt1625

Unlocked bootloader.

TWRP 3.1.1-0 currently while I troubleshoot.

I need to get this device back to stock, unrooted, bootloader locked. I am aware the warranty is gone.

I have tried flashing like 3 different versions of the stock firmware. I can flash the ROM no issue, but it WILL NOT LOCK the bootloader no matter what I do. All of the guides I've found involve this:

fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot

business, and it just does not work to lock the bootloader for me. I still get the "a signed boot.img is required" error, even after flashing a stock presumably signed boot.img 20 seconds prior. If I don't flash to Lineage in between tries, it won't even let me reflash boot.img or system etc because it'd be a "Security downgrade".

Is there a bullet-proof way to just bomb this thing from orbit with a stock 6.X image so that it locks the bootloader?

that is the reason.

I am removing them but unable the find it.

Where is the system logs that shows what made the system to crash and restart.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
You may have a defective phone. If the phone is working properly (and assuming you've never rooted it), then no app should be able to crash it. At worst, the app itself might crash, but not the phone.

Have you tried booting into Safe Mode? If the crashes still happen, that would prove it's a defective phone. If they don't, it could still be the phone's sole fault, but it may be harder to diagnose.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Rifaterdemsahin:
I simply want to see the log.... How do i see crash logs ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Pierreken:
Most likely it's not an app causing the reboot. If you don't see an error message and the device reboots that means that the entire system (or your user profile) crashed. You can use the tutorial here to troubleshoot:

Hey guys I just bought the phone and I realised the vibration not working in anywhere(yeah I couldnt hear the vibration). Any ideas ?
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] stureiney:
Hi everyone!

I"m very excited for Aug 10th to get this phone... and even though it's shatterproof, I've heard from a few people on YouTube that the phone is NOT scratchproof :/ So we are still going to have to search for the Best Screen Protector.

As new ones come out and are verified, I will update this post! Good luck with the search everyone. My first one that I'm going to try is Probably the Mr Shield or an OMOTON one. I don't see amFilm yet, but it's early still.

Cheers!

I had the Z force. The screen came pre-installed with a plastic protector which scratches instantly. I never removed mine, just placed a glass one over it. When I did that the screen became super reflective because there were too many layers of stuff (it was annoying). This time I will remove the plastic screen protective the moment the glass one arrives. From the old phone they say that the Verizon glass protectors were the best, I think they are listed as flexible glass. Others have said they used different brands that have worked well too, so we will just have to try and see. One things for sure, it will need a glass protector right out of the box unless you like scratches.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] seniorstew:
Sorry to burst your bubble but the plastic protector is non user removable on the Z2
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] seh6183:
You haven't burst my bubble, this is good news. It's one less step I have to take now to get my glass protector on. I would suggest everyone get the absolute thinnest glass screen protector you can find to keep the light touches responsive and screen glare to a minimum.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] seh6183:
While Amazon is amazing, it can be incredibly frustrating trying to sift through the hundreds of cheap Chinese junk products to find the quality ones. You can't always go by reviews either. I like to look for bigg-ish name brands and read their product page thoroughly. I decided to go with this protector: https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Skinomi-Hardness-Ballistic-Tempered/dp/B071G6ZV7J/ It's made by Skinomi which makes high quality products. They also listed the glass to be .33mm thick which is the thinnest I could find. I checked the Verizon website and they had two options, one not listing the thickness and the other being .4.

Also the Skinomi one mentions something about clarity and I suspect that the cheaper protectors are the ones with a lot of reflection to them. Not sure on that. I will come back and give my review of the Skinomi glass protector when I get it on the phone.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] xamindar:
I bought this same brand last year for my Moto Z and it has been great. So I ordered the Moto Z2 force version. Hopefully quality will be as good:

[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] seh6183:
I got my phone today and put on the Skinomi protector within 5 seconds. No bubbles, easy install, no extra glare, and I can give the screen the absolute lightest touch and it responds. I'm talking I can barely feel the touch on the tip of my finger and it works. That .33mm thickness works well.

The Verizon ones look the best as they cover more of the screen.

The Verizon one is great! No complaints so far.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] Th3Bill:
Yeahhhh....IQshield one not so good. Doesn't apply correctly to the screen. Used all 3 and every single one has a nice bubble in the lower right of the device next to the home button. Glass feels good, but either my device has a nice bend in the lower right or the glass just isn't flat. Other interesting thing....3 pack of protectors, yet only ONE set of installation stuff (prep pad/dust remover sticker).....weird. I'd just recommend staying far away from this one. Has good reviews, but I don't get how. And I'm not a rookie when it comes to screen protectors, so I know I'm putting this thing on right...

I used this one and I have no bubbles at all! Moto Z2 Force Screen Protector [2-Pack], ILLUMI AquaShield Full Coverage Screen Protector for Moto Z2 Force HD Clear Anti-Bubble Film https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0721LSQHC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_A4ZZPt6yqgSTa
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] seh6183:
The bubbles usually go away by the end of the first day.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] Th3Bill:
I know bubbles usually go away in a short time.

It's not bubbles, though. The entire lower right to the right of the fingerprint sensor doesn't adhere to screen. So either my device came bent or the batch of protectors I got are slightly warped in that lower right.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] seh6183:
I've had that happen before with certain phones. No brand could fix it. Even this phone did it right in the beginning and over the course of a day it fully sealed. Good luck in solving this because it can be very annoying.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] Th3Bill:
Agreed. Nothing makes a 700+ dollar phone look cheap like a nice big air gap under a screen protector lol
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] xamindar:
Of course it has no bubbles because it's plastic and you did a good job putting it on. Nice rainbow effect with the light though. ;)
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] Tidbits:
Wow $25... Lifetime warranty?
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] tdrussell:
I also had an issue with a persistent gap, using this screen protector, in the upper left and right corners (left of the FFC and right of the flash). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072Q55HFY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I ordered a different brand, but intended to just leave this one on until it arrived. After about 36 hours and heating up and cooling down a few times, the gaps had disappeared. My theory is that the phone's screen is just not as flat as a traditional glass panel, so you do not have two perfectly flat mating surfaces when using a tempered glass screen protector. It seems the screen is soft enough to eventually form to the screen protector, as i'm sure the screen protector is a more stable material than the screen.

How is it. I got this one to try from skinomi

https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Sk...084&sr=8-5&keywords=z2+force+screen+protector

I didn't like how it set on the phone, couldn't get it to adhere everywhere. Currently I got a z play screen protector on my device. It cover the fingerprint partially, but seems to be better then the skinomi.

https://www.amazon.com/protector-Co...1279&sr=1-32&keywords=z+play+screen+protector

I'm not sure because of the black bottom and top and the screen protector makes it so I can't see any non adhesiveness.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] Tidbits:
Haven't gotten my phone yet. Comes in today. Probably in about 6 hours from now. I can tell you then. It does have an applicator which supposed to help line everything up which is nice.

Guys, this is the best quality/price screen protector you can get for this awesome phone without ruining it's beautiful design: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/352139387426 I had this on last year's Z Force and it was amazing. I currently have it on my Z Play since 6 months ago and still looks pretty good. It's as thin as a plastic screen protector (not tempered glass) but it's actually glass and the touch is glass feel, very durable against scratches and covers the entire screen so good you won't tell it's there.

Wow, and the first company in the world to produce fold-able glass! Simply amazing!

Avoid IQ Shield Glass Screen Protector

This was the first one I bought for my phone, and I had the same problem with application. It's a shame that AMFilm doesn't produce screen protectors for the phone. I have one of their products for my Switch and it applied beautifully the first time without any bubbles.

Anyways, I've also posted this review on Amazon and this whole experience has made me seriously question Amazon ratings. It's clear that many of the 5 star reviews are fake.

Pros:

1) Three glass screen protectors for less than $8

2) Glass is clear, but _not_ very oleophobic, I have to wipe it down at least three or four times per day. (Still better than scratching the softer screen below)

Cons:

1) the kit for three screen protectors, only comes with ONE installation kit.

2) The first screen I tried had a hair on it, between the protective plastic and the glass itself. I didn't think at first of trying to remove it with their sticky static dust remover.

3) The _second_ screen also had a hair on it, in the same place. This time I used their static sticky to remove ALL the dust and hair that could possibly have been on the screen.

4) I then applied the screen and had the same problem others have seen with this screen protector and others. It didn't want to sit flush, and had persistent air bubbles. Mine was in the upper left corner, next to the selfie cam.

5) This morning, I unplugged my phone and it slipped off my table to the floor below, hitting my dresser on the way down, from a ONE foot (from the top of the table to the dresser) drop it cracked the screen protector.

So tonight, I ordered up the Skinomi glass screen protector that several others here have had decent luck with. I put on my last screen protector in the mean time, as another downside to the IQ cover is that it doesn't deal very well with damage. It was starting to splinter. (not yet breaking off but CLOSE)

Ironically the third placement looks best and has fewer bubbles than my second placement. I bet by tomorrow they are gone.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] filthyfnj24:
I'm using this one as well and have an iq shield as a backup. I never could get behind tempered glass on my phones. I'm very pleased with the aquashield, especially considering the price.

I had a couple pieces of dust under my first install that started to drive me nuts so I was incredibly meticulous with compressed air the second time around and now you can't tell there's a screen protector on the phone.

My only complaint is the lack of any kind of oleophobic coating, the things a finger print magnet. If glass isn't for you and you don't mind finger prints this is a great screen protector.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] Th3Bill:
Ok....so update on IQShield.

I put a 1 Star rating on Amazon and explained my reasoning on there. I was contacted a few days later by one of their representatives who was concerned about my experience. They refunded my money and issued me a replacement kit.

I received the kit day before yesterday. I installed it this morning. So far, it looks like it's MUCH better. It's going to have to sit overnight to get the small bubbles out, but there is no longer a huge gap in the lower right corner. This may end up being a winner. I will say that I'm still confused by a kit that has 3 protectors but only installation materials enough to install 1 (I guess they figure you're going to be putting the protectors on 3 separate devices at the same time maybe?).

My advice is this...if you bought from IQShield and have issues, be sure to reach out to them. Their customer service is really on point and at least in my experience, the protectors I got as replacements are legit for the device. I'll update in a day or two once it has a chance to let the bubbles work their way out.

Question about the screen protector kits.

Can the alcohol cleaning pads be used without harm on the stock shatter shield display surface.

Since it scratches easily, I was worried about it being effected by the alcohol cleaning pads.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] cfriendr:
It's fine. No different than just cleaning off plastic with an alcohol swab.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] sailindawg:
Cool thanks! I was concerned that the shatter proof display could be soft enough that it could be impacted by the alcohol.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] lyall29:
How is everyone's Verizon glass protector holding up? I'm thinking about getting one.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] chetqwerty:
So i figured out the problem here, its a design flaw in the screen itself, that's why protectors aren't sticking. All bad reviews on Amazon mention not sticking at the bottom of the screen. I think that the fingerprint sensor is ever so slightly raised winch causes the protectors not to stick to the areas to the left and right of the sensor. I went through 3 Skinomis, and the Verizon protector (Zagg) before i thought to try to raise the area that wasn't sticking to the right of the sensor. I finagled my thumbnail down the side of the aluminum then under the screen and slid it around the corner. I could tell it raised a little so i tried my next purchase the Cubevit (sp?) that i got on Amazon that was pretty highly rated. I cleaned up the screen being careful not to push that corner back down and applied the protector. At first it wasn't sticking but i could see it was now making contact at the edge, of course it was i raised it! I applied very localized pressure with the corner of a guitar pick, actually two picks in two different areas working together and slowly got the entire corner to stick down. Being super careful not even to breath in its general direction i let it sit undisturbed overnight. Next morning - still stuck down! So my conclusion is that a lot of these phones have a defect that causes unevenness in the lower section of the screen which is really unfortunate because this plastic screen is absolutely in need of protection. I don't think the solution was the Cubevit i think that had i done the lift earlier i would have the better quality Zagg stuck down.

Good luck, hope this may help someone. DO be careful you don't lift to much or worse crack the corner of your screen!
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] gpgorbosjr:
Thanks for this suggestion. I was nervous about which protector to get. You posted pictures and you have the root thread/back to stock thread so I figured I could trust your opinion. Got it and was very happy with my purchase. So glad it allowed me to move the protector after I put it on. I hate installing them but this was easy and no bubbles.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] bignazpwns:
I got the Verizon one and no issues at all. Used the zagg and like all zaggs it was trash. And way to thick.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] Amd4life:
The supershieldz V2 fits PERFECT, stays on very well, but I would not recommend it, as it dulls the screen colors a tad, and makes the touch screen less responsive.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] bignazpwns:
Side note got my phone on 9/11 and the Verizon screen protector has some nice scratches on it. So it's pretty soft but better then having them on the screen.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] byt3b0mb:
agreed - these are decent, but because they only have adhesive on the black parts, and not the center you may also have (i do) the weird rainbow oil slick.
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] LGtMgG2t:
I too purchased the Supershieldz v2 from Amazon and it went on surprisingly easy. Bubbles were easy to get out and I've not really seen any adverse effects with it. Watch the video real quick and then you should be fine.

Please pay attention that every screen shield you will go to use would left uncovered the proximity sensor which is placed between ear capsule and flash... I installed a (otherwise great...) screen protector which hadn't a hole for it and I faced a lot of issues with:

- Moto display

- Moto Actions

- fingerprint sensor

...all not working anymore or... quite!

Even actions like rotating or moving fast to go to camera or flash don't work anymore with that sensor covered..! :eek:

You can try yourself putting a finger on it...

That sensor is quite invisible on black models, but clearly visible on my old white Z...
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] Some_Donkus:
I'm using SuperShieldz. Was like 7 bucks on Amazon for a 2-pack. It's your typical 9h tempered glass, 99% trans, and has all the appropriate cutouts for flash, fingerprint, front cam, sensor, etc. That's all I ever look for. 9h + >95% trans, under 12 bucks. I've always bought tempered glass in this method , and never had a problem. The cheap Chinese stuff works great (by great, I mean for 7-12 bucks, 2 of these protectors will last me 9-12 months).
[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] enetec:
I've installed it and I've to say it's not bad considering it isn't glass...

Touch feeling and phone aspect are quite unchanged at all (very thin...), only things I don't like so much are:

- it is well cut BUT it is different from pic (as *many* other...:rolleyes:), with lower side opened on fingerprint sensor and about 1mm of lower screen uncovered;

- it comes with no cleaning pads you have to do-it-yourself (and in fact some minor dust spots remained even if I thought to have done a perfect cleaning work... :rolleyes:);

- I don't think it is so scratch resistant... mine arrived sealed but with a light scratch on it from day... 0! :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

Is it closed or opened on lower side of fingerprint sensor? :confused:

[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] mr turtle droid:
So not sure if anyone's tried this outside of me but you can take the internal screen protector off and have a MUCH more rigid screen underneath that holds screen protectors better

The plastic screen protector is loca glued to the plastic screen under

I was able to get it off and after about 1 hour and Messing with googone and using the friction from my finger I got all the glue remenants off my screen.

You do lose the olephobic coating on the screen so beware

[Moto Z2 Force Accessories] sternum_boy:
Is the general consensus that the Verizon glass protector fits the best? I see some mixed reviews on the Skinomi and the Supershieldz. I am somewhat skeptical of putting a glass protector that can crack or shatter onto a shatterproof phone. It doesn't appear that there are many good quality plastic protectors available though.
