[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] wizard-dima:
Hello.

I have a version of sprint Z2 force.

I unblocked the bootloader and flashed it, completely (with bootloader + gpt) retail from November. Works great, I did not get a brick)

I was able to change the modem to European (see screenshot). NES.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/18YER_tr8B3eEztc0eXZvZbA8pG0tsnIi/view?usp=sharing

It turned out even run dualsim. But there is a problem, the 2nd sim does not work :( The phone does not see it and I do not understand, maybe there are no contacts in the phone, maybe there is a problem with the SIM card tray.) Or did not make the modem to the end.

I also would like to change the software region - nobody knows how to do this?

Good luck to all.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
The Sprint model doesn't have the second SIM slot. That spot you're putting your second sim is the SD card slot.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] wizard-dima:
Thanks I know.

But I have a photo tray for 2 sim cards. And I place the second sim correctly.

[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
The XT-1789-03 model (Sprint) doesn't have the second sim slot physically on it's board.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] wizard-dima:
Now, that's what I wanted to hear. Are you 100% sure?

Did you take the smartphone apart and look inside the slot?

Because I ran the 2nd sim on Z2play, though it was for Europe.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
Lenovo confirmed when I did a call for warranty replacement. The tier 3 tech said all US variants don't physically have the slot since US models wouldn't need it.

Yes and install twrp

Cool, so from previous 7.1.1, go to TWRP, wipe data, cache, system. ..my TWRP 3.2 is still my recovery, then flash it or you did manually used ADB on this one. Thanks

I got TWRP already 3.2 so I can flash this using TWRP right? Coz, instructions says install TWRP, but currently my recovery is TWRP:eek:

[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
No, don't flash older firmwares over newer. You will get a brick.

ok, well then when retail goes to 8.0, will i be able to use the files to flash my T-Mobile Z2 Force to the retail branch or not?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
Not these, no. We are working on a flash-alls right now
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Maheshwara:
Do not understand... Does this mean with your "flash-alls" it will be no matter which OTA for which branch - every Z2 owner can flash whatever Z2 OTA?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
I have flashed both the Brazilian flashall and the T-Mobile one on my Sprint phone and flashed back to the Sprint flashall with no issues. You need to be on that version of Android though. You cannot be on Nougat and flash the Oreo one in development section nor can you flash back to Nougat from Oreo. Carrier doesn't matter much from my experience.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Maheshwara:
I have a "free" device without any carrier branding and I am still with Nougat. Wanna know, if there is any way to flash Oreo without having to wait till it will come to free devices.

Sprint, thank you so much!
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
Sprint will not have WiFi calling on other carrier ROMs. It is an issue with how Sprint phone's enable WiFi calling compared to other carriers. Best to flash all back to Sprint stock and just flash the debloated oem after you update to November.

Is it possible to change "Software Channel" after reflash?

I sourced a Moto Z2 Force Sprint XT-1789-03 variant from the USA (I live in the UK) and I wanted to switch it completely to a generic retail software. This is what I managed to do successfully:

1/ Unlocked bootloader using the standard Motorola method via their website.

2/ Downloaded the latest retail image I could find here (NASH_NPXS26.122-68-4_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC).

3/ Reflashed everything using fastboot from the flashfile.xml including gpt.bin and bootloader. All worked fine. The only thing I didn't know what to do with was the "slcf_rev_d_default_v1.0.nvm" file.

4/ Restarted phone, inserted local UK SIM card and it booted up fine, letting me set it up and I received 4G reception as expected. The device did not appear to be operator locked to Sprint USA.

The only thing which I am struggling with is the "Software channel" which still shows as "sprint" under the About phone in Settings. I am guessing this means I will be receiving Sprint's OTA updates which I don't want and will probably will not work on this device now.

Is there any way to change this Software channel to retail US which this image I flashed seems to be??

I tried the following command (fastboot oem config carrier retus) which I found while searching other threads. It executed successfully but it didn't change the Software channel, at least the UI is still showing "sprint".

Any help would be appreciated..... Thanks.

Same procedure for flashing as stated in #38 ? Just wanna be sure before trying to flash as this time, it is a completely other Android version. And any possibility to keep data?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] x-geo:
you lost all data... make sure yoy have done a backup
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Maheshwara:
Did exactly the way [MENTION=7246616]Passerati[/MENTION] described in #38 with the exception that there does not seem to be any system_b.img_sparsechunk.2 and system_b.img_sparsechunk.3 within the Oreo Factory Image. Did not know that everything to do is listed in flashfile.xml. Not so much experience with Moto yet - but now, I have seen ;). Just omit gpt, bootloader and userdata erase and you will be fine without losing any data. My device, at least, successfully booted up after having flashed the image that way. Let's see if I will regret updating because of malfunction or bugs. I will report.

I tried to update from 7.1.1 to Oreo with the retail factory image but couldn't get the phone to boot properly. Always had a bootloop, got thrown back into TWRP or even stock recovery with the message the system can't be booted. I first tried the official TWRP image but it's apparently not fit for flashing only booting into recovery. I then tried to fastboot boot the magiskroot img which worked but after that couldn't install magisk when booted up. Flashing this image resulted in a bootloop aswell as flashing the OreoV6 img. Flashing SuperSU over the stock boot image aswell as magisk didn't do the trick either.

Could someone tell me the appropriate steps to upgrade from unencrypted stock 7.1.1 to stock 8.0 with root and TWRP permanently flashed on the phone?

Thanks a lot

EDIT: after decrypting the data partition again (even though I already had an unencrypted one) and flashing the needed zip aswell as SuperSU over the stock boot image it now works as expected. I didn't try the OreoV6 image because it didn't even boot into system but only recovery before

Anyone know if there's anyway to get mobile data working for t-mobile?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 41rw4lk:
Have you tired to reset the apns to default? Go to network settings, mobile data, and check your apns. You should be able to reset the default apns in the sub menus, that'll pull the apns from the sim. Also, in the main network setting menu, you should be able to reset all networks to default. Worth a try if nothing else is working. Last, there's a menu in about system I believe to update carrier info. You can also pull your sim and power off the phone for about 10 or 15 min. then replace and boot up to re-register on TMO network.

Here is what I did to fix the no sim/wifi issue for my phone (Sprint variant)

I clean flashed the retail ROM

I went to the aosip thread

Download the aosp firmware zip for your variant

Flash the aosp firmware over the retail ROM

After that my phone works perfect, I get data and wifi.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] teradark:
What worked for me was i deleted the NON-HLOS.bin in the retail rom and replaced it with the T-Mobile Variant. yeah its T-Mobile but maybe it will work with sprint too.

Using the Sprint variant I mean.
