Stock Image Dumped

I have used Hovatek Kitchen to extract ATT boot.img and save it as encrypted izarc file on drop box:

password is nash

I hope this is helpful.

If you can explain to me how to use FASTBOOT to extract/DD the firmware/recovery image from the phone? all I can find is instructions for ADB not Fastboot, and adb without root is not allowing it. Thanks!

This is the US Cellular boot image. We confirmed last night that the T-Mobile phone boots with it last night. We don't actually have T-Mobiles kernel yet. As far a recovery, we confirmed last night that it's integrated into the boot image. There is no recovery partition on this device.

[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] filthyfnj24:
Does anyone know if the US Cellular can be bootloader unlocked?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tidbits:
Just need to find someone with it to start the process (don't need to finish it). It should say if it is or not
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
[MENTION=283343]seniorstew[/MENTION] Can you be sure to put a disclaimer that unlocking bootloader will reset the data/cache of the phone? I am sure it is unneeded, but you know someone will follow directions haphazardly and wipe all their precious data.

Edit: I unlocked me E2 the same way and got a white "unlocked bootloader" message, this phone has a black message instead (your device software cannot be checked for corruption). Is that normal or did the unlock not take? Bootloader shows Flashing is unlocked...
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] filthyfnj24:
The warning message is normal. To double check go to developer settings and make sure the option to allow OEM bootloader unlock is grayed out. When you tap it it should say bootloader is already unlocked.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
I kind of figured as much, I am just used to the white screen warning like my Moto E and the website show. I guess they changed the warning on this model compared to other Motorola models.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] logikism:
Can TMobile relock? Root isn't good enough without twrp.

If yes, how? Same as unlocking?

[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] matistight:
This doesnt truly lock it though.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] joemossjr:
Why doesn't it
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] matistight:
Because Motorola? Who knows, but the phone says that the software has been modified.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] XirXes:
You voided your warranty unlocking the bootloader. They need that to be easy to see when you take it in to the carrier. I don't know why they'd make that easy to cover up.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I see what the guy is saying. On HTC devices you can make your phone look like you never touched it with S-Off and an hboot hack whilst still modified​ the system.

I wondered this same thing, if someone has ever made a hack the same way sort to speak for Motorola.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tidbits:
People should read what they are agreeing to. The fact you took the code voids the warranty.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I dont think anyone is talking about warranties. Just relocking the bootloader to look like it was untouched for the heck of it.

We all know it voids warranty and if people don't know that..well...then they need to do research before coming here.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Amd4life:
Flashfire will mount system and flash most zip files these days, and the full backups/restore will work for some devices. I will admit I have not tried the restore yet, but flashing zip files works fine.

TWRP is preferred of course, but just giving alternatives
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] logikism:
Not at all for me!
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] eurominican:
So there's no way to remove the "your device has loaded a difference operating system" warning after re-locking the bootloader?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Uzephi:
It's most likely a one way fuse on the chip. Without doing some in depth analysis, I can't see that's true, but it has been done before on previous qcom chipsets.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] TheKnux:
Stay tuned. We are getting closer to a fully working TWRP. That's all I can say for now.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] the0ckid82:
do you know if you can revert it back to normal like was done on older moto phones like the moto x pure where you could just flash the logo.bin file back and it would make the warning screen go away?

this is how it was done on the moto x pure https://xdaforums.com/moto-x-style/help/how-to-remove-unlocked-bootloader-t3200607/page2

does anyone have the logo.bin file or can some one tell me how to pull it off my phone

[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] loaferkan786:
I followed the steps but it still wouldn't let me get the bootloader unlocked, the website gave me the same message as for others....I got the T-Mobile version directly bought from T-Mobile. Am I the unlucky one, or T-Mobile or Moto might still let me unlock my bootloader? Also there is no other way around it?

Thanks.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tidbits:

[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] loaferkan786:
I'm on step 8, where I input the numbers generated in command prompt mode, but when I put it in the website in OP link, there it tells me I can't unlock it or something.

[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tidbits:
Are you sure it's a T-Mobile version, and not an AT&T or Verizon version?

When you copy the code from the command you accidently remove or left a character in? Double check to make sure you got the right string.

oem unlock is locked in disabled

Good afternoon,

I am in the Oreo version (8.0) with security patch from January 2018 when I enabled the developer mode by clicking on the build number I enable debug usb, but the oem unlock is locked in disabled, I can not activate it.

Version number: 27.109-34-4
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] XirXes:
Verizon and AT&T phones can't be unlocked. That's probably what's happening to you.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Leann Bastos:
I really appreciated this possibility, but how do I have this option on Android 7.1.1 and is it now blocked?

I tested it to enable it before upgrading to 8.0 and it worked, I just lost that function.

and I already have my official code to unlock the motorola bootloader, but I can not activate the bootloader unlock in "developer"

How do I know what my version is?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] seniorstew:
Why didn't you unlock It before updating?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Leann Bastos:
Because I updated 4 or 5 times in a row, it turned out to be automatic

Moto z2 force tmobile bootloader unlock

I keep getting a (Bootloader) code validation failure when running cmd with code.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] dismembered3po:
So, I'm having this issue, as well. Got mine yesterday. You really just ran it a bunch of times til it worked?

I tried manually formatting the output into the long string, and also Moto's Data Scrubber tool, to no avail so far.

UPDATE: This did finally work. It only worked once I got the device all registered under "My Stuff" on their site and such. Of course, it could just have been the length of time that passed...
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mixikins:

[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] XirXes:
The -04 model is both att and T-Mobile. The T-Mobile ones are unlockable.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dany XP:
Do u think T-Mobile will ever be updated officially?

Or should I just forget about it from now, and proceed to flash LOS 16?

If so, can u reccomand a guide?

P.s. can I somehow flash retail official pie ?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] 41rw4lk:
I seriously doubt TMO will see pie officially. They're making strides with LOS everyday and it has plenty of users who will vouch for it. As for a guide, there's a wiki with everything there.

As for flashing retail pie, I won't recommend that. As you've seen around here, nothing but trouble when flashing pie for variants it's not intended for. However, some have gone a pseudo route and flashed pie minus the modems and bluetooth etc. Mainly a system on an oreo base. Not too impressive in my opinion. One time of forgetting to NOT flash the modem though and you're F'd. Once you install pie modems you can't go back, and there is NO working pie modem for TMO. Basically you break you baseband and there's no fix yet, if ever.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dany XP:
Does that means if I flash LOS16 right now it would have a Oreo modem anyway (otherwise it won't work)? Or it would simply NOT flash any new modem baseband and even after flashing los I would keep my stock modem?

I'm sorry but my last modding days were with Nexus 5, I might be a little rusty...
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] 41rw4lk:
You keep the modem you have, so it stays Oreo for now. I believe there is a new prep.zip for LOS with TMO users in mind. It flashes both slots with the same baseband so there are no discrepancies. You should join z2 discord, there is a lot of info and links there.

[LG G5 Accessories] kl25:
I've been using the dbrand skin in a spigen crystal shell case for about 3 months now and thought that's enough time to share some thoughts with you guys.

Dbrand skin: https://dbrand.com/shop/lg-g5-skins...BlENC0VVnGH0I6M49hJFhXEGleAefzd4aAooREALw_wcB

- canadian company

- shipping + tax comes out to be around $24 CDN for front + full back + camera coverage (you get a total of 3 camera lens skin plus they threw in few additional pieces for the bottom front and bottom back)

- material is 3M vinyl

Installation:

I installed everything except for the lens part because I saw a review on Youtube which noted that you can see part of the wrap when the wide angle lens is in use, and I use the wide angle all the time therefore I didn't bother. The whole process took me less than 10 minutes. Key is to use your hair dryer to soften the edges so it moulds to the curvature of the phone and also smooth out the edges in the end to make the skin feel like it has fused to the phone.

Quality:

The matte 3M material feels great in my opinion. It has some gritty texture to it so it's not slick like the phone as is on its own, so it really comes down to personal preference. For me, the priority is to protect the phone so I don't really care about the texture. The skin will definitely protect the phone from scratches, but because it has some thickness to it as well, I think it will protect the phone from potential minor dents. I did use the phone without a case for about a week or so while waiting for the case to arrive and the skin felt nicely stuck to the phone and there were no signs of corners lift. I can't speak to how it would have done over the long run as I drop my phone a lot and I've left it in the case since then, however the general comments that goes around is that this company makes good quality skins. I do take my phone in and out of the case quite a bit for when I fly my drone so that the phone fits in the phone holder of the remote control, and again no signs of lifting.

Customer service:

I have to comment on this because I have dealt with this company before when I had the Samsung Galaxy s7 and it was exceptional. I foolishly pressed the wrong button and selected the option "without button cutouts" for the front skin. When I received the skin, I saw that there was no button cutout, I contacted dbrand about it. They reviewed the order and told me that I likely selected the wrong option before checking out, but they replaced it anyway without any hassle. I even offered to ship back the one sent out to me, and they said it's not necessary. I guess that's the kind of customer service you would expect when you pay $30 for some stickers...but then again it was my mistake! lol Shipping was blazing fast, but then I am from Toronto where their office resides.
[LG G5 Accessories] PhantasmRezound:
I was using dBrand skins with Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear case as well. Highly recommend that case. It didn't tear the skins when pulling case on or off while still being snug fit. The corner air cushion did work to protect the phone from dents during a couple of falls.

I also had a full 3D coverage Supershieldz tempered glass protector that didn't lift up with that case; it did lift when using a Poetic Affinity and entirely cracked with the Spigen Style case. Only other case that didn't tear skins or protectors was Spigen Hybrid Armor (but it didn't show the dBrand skin off.)

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] irony_delerium:
The camera app prior to the release of EMUI 9 didn't work very well at all on custom ROMs - it's something I've fought with for months; it's pretty much that it's too dependent on EMUI. Doesn't really matter which version of the EMUI 8 camera, or which ROM you're running - it's just frequently broken for most things besides basic picture taking.

The one shipped with EMUI 9 seems to work with minimal issues on AOSP, when used with an EMUI 9 based vendor image. (Yes, I'm aware that there currently aren't any released ROMs for P10 on an EMUI 9 base yet - I'm personally working on OmniROM 9, and I know there will be an official build of RR before too long as well, mostly just dealing with minor hardware differences at this point, I think, since the image is built to support multiple devices.)

[Nextbit Robin] AnierinB:
Yes, I actually just bought myself another one this morning! I think of them as a steal when it comes to the pricing compared to the specs. I have a good feeling they'll support 8.0 since they managed 2 7.0 updates within the year
[Nextbit Robin] marvelljones:
With your budget you can almost buy two. Colors are limited unless you want Mint, but new ones are going for as low as 109.99 on a certain auction site. From trusted (certified) sellers.

I was "lucky" my three year old decided my Honor 5x needed a bath a couple of months ago when I stupidly left it on a chair. I snagged an emergency replacement NIB Electric Blue Robin for 99.00 by using a rebate code.
[Nextbit Robin] tlxxxsracer:
Whered you pick it up for $100? I want that color badly, or the ember :crying:
[Nextbit Robin] marvelljones:
A seller on eBay, they were running a sale at 114.00 and I had a 25.00 off 100.00 or more coupon code. This was a couple months ago and if the same seller has any left they're all the Mint color.

I try not to advertise specific sites, but I am not selling any phones at this time and I am in no way related to anyone selling the Nextbit Robin.
[Nextbit Robin] witnit:
Guessing I purchased mine on the same deal - it went for $115 (USD) with a %15 coupon, total of $100.

I looked on slickdeals.net, found that deal post from 2017-06-26 (expired). Seller was BuySPRY:

* https://slickdeals.net/f/10291048-n...ed-android-smartphone-99-99-fs?src=SiteSearch

Seems the same seller has posted three more sales since then, one appears to be going on now.

* $115 on 2017-06-28 (expired): https://slickdeals.net/f/10296728-n...one-115-fs-ebay-daily-deal?v=1&src=SiteSearch

* $105 on 2017-07-17 (expired): https://slickdeals.net/f/10362632-nextbit-robin-is-105?v=1&src=SiteSearch

* $110 on 2017-08-11 (appears to still be live): https://slickdeals.net/f/10454576-n...m-100-gb-online-for-109-99?v=1&src=SiteSearch

Note, I'm not promoting or advocating the seller or sales platform, rather I'm mainly hoping only to report on deal postings. Since I bought my phone, I haven't seen any other deals from other sellers via slickdeals. I would share those too if I found any.

My quick take on buying this phone - true there is no longer warranty service for it if you need to make a new claim. But given that I've bought used phones for more money, with no warranty, makes this phone a good deal for the asking price. This phone is new and has the bonus of continued OS/Software updates through February 2018, even if we don't know how much more development we actually see. The other very positive note, especially for me, is the active XDA development. It's a nice upgrade from my Nexus 4.

Hope that helps.
