I know that. I'm saying that albus_c is a variant sold only in US. In all other regions it is only albus.

I'm warning because I have the device and I tested both. And another detail, TWRP is configured to install only albus zip and don't have TWRP for albus_c. ;)
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Q9Nap:
ro.product.device=albus for both devices, so they should be essentially the same.

I think the C designation has something to do with a carrier purchased or subsidized device.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] devilsclaw:
I have the XT1710-01 , I used fastboot with the files in ALBUS_NPSS26.118-19-4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip and the phone works fine.

I have a second XT1710-01 which I used TWRP to make a backup and I have tried to use that image to restore to the original firmware and it is not working.

How does one convert a twrp backup into one that works with fastboot ?

I'm sure someone is going to ask, if it works fine then why switch back, well for one I want to know how to and two, I want to be able to, and if I can figure out how I will share.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] devilsclaw:
As I thought about it convert twrp to fast boot image probably not possible.

How do you convert or make twrp in install zips. do you have to dd copy each section or do you take a twrp backup and fallow a template.

I so far never been successful in using a twrp backup and having it restore correctly. but the image provided work. also the current ablus_c is no longer most current version. I have the blur file if wanted / needed.

Can you help me

I lost my signal, after flash this rom, how can i get backup of the EFS?
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] alex1301:
Any chance to get the latest retail ROM as a flashable TWRP zips without dm-veriety and forced encryption disabled?
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kewlzter:
Can't you just re-enable under 'settings-securiry-encryption'?
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Q9Nap:
This has happened to me only occasionally when flashing builds meant for other regions.

Wiping data and then installing the proper build for my region has always fixed the issue.

As for doing a backup of EFS, this has been reported to work, but has to be done prior to flashing.

fsg.mbn is the EFS partition, so you can also try flashing this to the device using fastboot.

These modifications to the boot image are practically necessary.

With dm-verity enabled, the device will not boot; with force encryption enabled, it seems to cause various issues with TWRP.

You can find the untouched boot image in the official fastboot file, if it is available.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] georgeventura:
I think the problem is a bit more complicated.

IMEI 0 appears on the two sim cards. the device recognizes the chips placed, recognizes the operator, but appears as if it is without signal and does not allow me to make calls or use data transmission.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Q9Nap:
Apologies for the problems guys; I have no idea why this is happening.

The builds have been removed until and unless connection issues can be resolved.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kewlzter:
I used it, no problems. One should always have a good backup of "everything before flashing Anything!"

Especially on this device where support is limited.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kewlzter:
Have you tried any of the various fixes For lost EFS? There are many threads on the subject here on XDA.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] julesism:
Hoping we see builds reposted soon. I unlocked my bootloader and I use TWRP so this was an easy way to go-to/update stock :) I understand why they were taken down but the flasher should understand the risks.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] jamesdgreen2016:
Connection issues fixed for me by flashing lineage Oreo from this forum, then backing up EFS partition from it using TWRP, then wiping system and flashing stock image zip file, then restoring EFS partition only from it on top of nougat stock zip using TWRP. Then boom: situation profitable.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] CompostKicker:
Apologies if this is a silly question, but where can one find a flashable stock zip? I have run into this exact issue.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] jamesdgreen2016:
I'll upload the flashable stock zip for nougat from this thread. But it will mess up your mobile data you'll need to restore backup of EFS partition to fix. Can be done by flashing lineage Oreo from XDA thread on here then backing up EFS partition then flashing nougat stock zip then restoring backed up lineage efs partition on top of nougat. This fixes mobile data problem and you're back on stock nougat. Will post the link to stock nougat using mega in a few minutes
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] jamesdgreen2016:

[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] CompostKicker:
Yeah, I ran into this issue when trying to restore stock from Fastboot. As a consequence, I have lost my LTE connection. From what I understand, there is no way to recover it until the official Oreo release from Lenovo. Makes me sad, but at least I have a flashable zip to revert, which makes testing a newer Lineage version a little easier.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] jamesdgreen2016:
Haha ya me too. H+ fast enough for me. Anyway Oreo stock not far off.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kewlzter:
I don't "think" it works that way. I have a suspicion, that you will be exactly where you are now only on Oreo.

"My" understanding is you cannot receive OTA'S after BL unlocking (I pray I'm wrong), so your only option will be to flash an uploaded firmware, very similar to what you've already done with Nougat. If that didn't work for a Nougat stock ROM, why would it work for an Oreo?

(Your EFS and your modem baseband aren't the same thing)

It will be SOME time (if ever) before Motorola releases signed Fmw's for this device.

Problem being so many variants, 11? Can't lock your BL, without those.

Most people are having some success with the Lineage EFS backup. Have you tried it?
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] CompostKicker:
Yes, I was able to use the EFS from Lineage 15.1 with the 7.1.1 stock. I thought the lack of LTE was a modem issue at first, but then I found something that said my EFS is somehow tied to which bands my phone can connect to? It kinda made sense, seeing as the EFS is how my phone identified itself.

On the topic of modems...if my problem is, in fact, a modem, then why do I not have LTE when I revert to stock? Is there a way that I can get a modem to flash that will restore my LTE connectivity?

As for the question of OTAs, I was specifically talking about waiting for the official 8.0 to be uploaded so that I could flash it. My hope is, since I am locked on an Oreo bootloader now, that everything will work again if I flash an official Oreo ROM. Am I mistaken in this thinking?

EDIT: Clarity and spelling
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kewlzter:
The modem is a one way flash, upgrade no downgrade.

But you don't want to change or alter it anyway. It's (I think) a Qualcomm modem. Same one used in many phones.

Your EFS, is how your specific phone is identified and communicates with this modem. (modem=What, EFS=how) I'm sure it's more complicated but this is "My" understanding.

You are not on any 8.0 bootloader. If you are familiar with PC's, Bootloader is like your BIOS. Android is your O/S (7.1 is like Windows 7, and Oreo is like Windows 10.)

People are very clever here on XDA, I'm sure once custom Firmwares pick up steam, there will be an easy solution.

If you restored your Lineage EFS, over top your stock installation.

Did you check your APN's?

Did you dial that asterisk pound number thingy, to bring up your coms settings. (sorry Ive only done it twice so I can't tell you the combo, search if you don't know it)?

I think you should take a close look inside your EFS folder, open them up on PC, see what they are, then maybe ask someone with your model to send you a copy of their EFS backup (TWRP). But I've heard this might clone IMS, but it's worth a try.

I appreciate these custom ROM builders, but they really need to stress the importance of backing up more. One little line doesn't seem to be enough, considering how many people are getting into trouble.
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] SinkyChan17:
Hey :) I managed to get the ROM to work but I kind of just skipped all backup options and ETC to make sure it worked, which it did. However, I tried to do a factory reset rand now no matter what I do I can't get the ROM to boot... it just goes straight to TWRP. I've tried clearing everything and re-installing and no luck. What should I do?
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] jamesdgreen2016:
Use fastboot to flash the stock recovery then reflash the TWRP recovery? Try fastboot to flash a factory image ? Something along those lines fixes it.

[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] CompostKicker:
Just to make sure I am understanding the process, I am going to...

1) Backup my EFS from my current Lineage ROM

2) Wipe system in TWRP (this is the confusing part for me. Do I need to wipe data or format?)

3) Flash the zip you shared

4) Restore my EFS partition that I took a backup of earlier
[Moto Z2 Play  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] jamesdgreen2016:
Pretty much. After you backup efs wipe system and data so it's a clean flash then after you flash it restore just efs you backed up right on top of it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sanjsrik:
I'm just curious if anyone is thinking of moving to the LG V30 and if so what are your thoughts as to why? I'm good with my S8+ on Tmobile right now, but wouldn't mind a new device by the end of the year. Don't really care about the goggles that they're touting to give away, there's just not enough usable content out there to make them compelling. I used mine for about a week and now they just collect dust.

Just wondering what everyone else is thinking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sabresfan:
Depends if you want root. LG has been removing fastboot commands from US phones for awhile. I have a V10 as a backup but can honestly say I have no interest in going back to LG devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sanjsrik:
I'm just curious, I liked the LG devices. What makes you say you won't go back to them?

I didn't know about them removing fastboot. Does that mean we can't root the V30?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sabresfan:
I can't say for sure if root will be achieved. The only reason root was achieved on the v20 was the dirtycow exploit. LG had heat issues and screen burn in issues on the three devices of theirs I've had in the last few years. Not to mention the whole bootloop issue on many devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] djnikkofb:
I will not, My G4, My v10, Mom's, friends v10's bootlooped. I can't trust my memories to a device that has James Bond (Sorry meant Mission Impossible) motherboard.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] tengtengvn:
No more LG devices after the way they handled the bootloop issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sanjsrik:
Sorry for the dumb question, what does "James Bond motherboard" mean? I've NEVER had an issue with an LG device so maybe I'm one of the lucky few. I like the form factor and I like the devices themselves. Just I'm waffling between switching as I bought a bunch of stuff for the s8+ so what do I do with all the stuff?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sanjsrik:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sanjsrik:
geezalou, that sounds awful. I had absolutely no issues with my V10 or V20. I really liked the devices. I even rooted and put a good custom ROM on them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] djnikkofb:
The crazy nuts thing about the bootlooped issue from what I've experienced was; The G4, v10,G5,v20 line would bootlooped if u we're NOT rooted, NOT ever rooted, or currently rooted. My mom is to old to know what root is so she had a bone stock AT&T v10, My wife's was rooted on T-Mobile, and my father in law G4 was Verizon unrooted. so it's all carriers
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sanjsrik:
I never had an issue. That's weird. Now, I'm starting to doubt the V30 thing. Well, the S8+ is a good phone so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] monkey39:
I've only had my S8+ for a couple of months, so probably not. My last phone went tits up on me in August (my fault) and I needed a new phone, so decided to get the S8+, since it was one of the best Android phones available at the time. But if the V30 had been available at the time I might have opted for it instead of the S8+.

Tbh the fingerprint sensor placement still bugs the **** out of me. Others say that you get used to it, but two months later it still takes me 2-3 tries to get it to read correctly most times, even with a case. I use it dozens of times throughout the day, so it's not a little problem for me.

Don't get me wrong, other than that it's a great phone, and Samsung Pay is much better than Android Pay, imo. Also one of the first phones in years that I didn't feel the need to root immediately, which was honestly a bit of a surprise.

Now, I'm sort of sorry I asked. I was going to switch, but figure I can wait. While the S8+ doesn't have root or bootloader unlocked, the hell I know is better than the (you know the rest).

Anyone else seeing the "me-too" thing of LG offering the VR glasses. I have the ones that came with the S8+ but after the initial wow factor, it got old real fast and a lack of content made them useless. Even sideloaded, there wasn't a lot of good content. Most of it was overpriced and just bad.

i have a suggestion about applying themes in non-root devices

there is no need to unfreeze-apply-freeze again the app

if you are using the package disabler pro app just clear data from themes every time you switch on or reboot the device and you will be ok

for me it works
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] doulc:
Mine won't work for clear data only, might as well just disable it as it run on background and if you forgot to clear data after reboot you have to apply it again, looking for a permanent solution.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rzr86:
i don't know what to say man for me it works

actually it doesn't work for me either if i don't clear data

unfortunately i think there is no permanent solution in non-root devices
