I wiped out the cache and sideload the carbon rom from the lineageos version, but I can't boot into the system,

so I tried to format the system through twrp and sideload again, it still not working,

and then I try to use the factory reset, now I lost the whole OS, how can I save my pixel 2 back?

PS. I'm a noob from flashing ROM, begging for masters' help, please Orz

To be clear before you try to sideload, in twrp you're doing wipe>format data>type "yes"?

Sideloading carbon worked fine for me after formatting data.

I've downloaded the latest factory image and OTA zip, but when I try to use flash-all.bat, and it's failed, seems the bootloader version is not as same as the newest factory image

---------- Post added at 06:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 AM ----------

Yes I did formatted the data, and I just jump it from lineageos to Carbon Rom, I was stuck in the bootloop, then I tried to reset the factory image through flash-all.bat, it keeps failing, then I find out I've already formatted the OS, can't boot into either the system or the recovery (of course can't boot into twrp recovery through the cmd as well)

I've no idea how to bring the original system back, my phone was brought in UK, and I'm living in HK, so even if I want to ask help from the Google warranty, it takes at least 1-2 weeks, thats why I asked for help here, hope I could fix it today:crying:

WHAT?!?!

I am probably wrong here, but is this allowing us to go back in time to a Build number that would allow us to Unlock the Bootloader, if we updated to the "patched" January update?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
Im probably off subject or maybe drunk/hungover but I do believe I went backward in time. I had February patch, went to January patch. Then back to February.

While I did this I mix and matched my build between 3 patches.

If memory serves me correctly, LOS put a commit about checking vendor build date.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
Thank you my man, the link is under my name. It's nice hearing that and i hope you enjoy the phone. Let me know of any bugs.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ZeroLozen:
Specifically for Verizon phones, does that mean that if we are beyond the "Unlockable Bootloader Build" (PRE xxxxx.016), that we can go back and unlock the bootloader?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
"Unlockable Bootloader Build" I don't have a Verizon but a Google.

If it is like samsung then i believe you can switch between builds with the same bootloader. That would explain why i was able to move around(or so i think i was able to).

If google wants to make it in this rat race they will keep the bootloader unlocked(but limit backward compatibility). If they don't then HTC better do it so they can keep people who love there AOSP.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Rukbat:
Maybe Google is going to realize that they have 2 distinct customer bases - one that will destroy the phone if it isn't welded shut, the other that won't buy it if we can't unlock it and do what we want with it. No one told me I couldn't add a drive to my PC, run a web server and dual-boot Linux and Windows - no one is going to tell me that the Linux box in my pocket is locked down. If it is, it's for kids, not for me. I think a lot of people feel that way - or Lineage would never have started back in CM days.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ahoslc:
Google is not the locking the phone Verizon is the One locking the bootloader
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Rukbat:
Oh, in that case forget it. Verizon wants corporate customers, not people who can actually do something for the industry that supports Verizon.
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ryche666:
Wasn't there a forum around here about unlocking the verizon bootloader?
[Google Pixel 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ahoslc:
Yes but if you took a patch from Jan you can no longer unlock it.

I really want to root my Moto E4 (For xposed and fake VR) but I really dont want to mess anything up! this is my favorite phone and really don't wanna mess anything up, my phone is already decrypted and the bootloader was unlocked via Motorola's bootunlocker tool from their website :confused: How would I root my phone safely without messing things up. Most one click root apps don't work with this (from what I read is cause the model's bootloader is normally locked) so I cant use those! And I also don't know which variant mine is but my phone is a Sprint version.

Help? :confused: :confused: :)
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] mn1968:
With a little more snooping you would have found your answers. Anyway, the Sprint version is good to go...it's a Qualcomm variant, so look for threads with Qualcomm in the title.

To root, follow this guide.

Good luck!
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Super easy dude. Just follow the guide.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] DB126:
Be sure to read-up on f2fs workarounds if you plan root with Magisk -and- use systemless modules like Xposed. There are several good options; I opted for the Magisk module as I didn't want to flash a patched kernel. Reformatting the data partition to ext4 also works but you'll loose some of the benefits of f2fs. You can find more details in the Magisk installation guide.

FLASH THE NOVERITY .ZIP FILE ...then it will boot
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] datiel12:
I cant, theres way for me to do so! I cant enter bootloader!
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
what do you mean ? in your post you said it boots straight to twrp teamwin recovery ..that is where you flash the .zip

_take out the battery

_hold the power + vol down until you reach a screen

_here using vol up navigate through the onscreen options

_when the option recovery appears select it with power button

_when booted in recovery click "install" buttom

_navigate to NO VERITY .ZIP in the sdcard

https://mega.nz/#!l8YxCDqY!EGe7_tVctHRbu96nhffP5JIlNvZEL08eFIvbtFkezug

(hopefully you put the zip om there )

_flash it & reboot

*remember click on "mount" button in recovery and mount your sdcard or whereever you put the zip .
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] datiel12:
Yeah, I cant see my sdcard or anything! its all gone! I think I may have formatted the entire device!
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
CLICK THE MOUNT BUTTON AND MOUNT YOUR SDCARD ! OR MOUNT THE STORAGE WHERE YOU PUT THE ZIP

OR ...

CONNECT YOUR PHONE TO PC AND SIDELOAD IT
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] datiel12:
I put the zip on my internal storage! And i've mounted my System, I cant select data it doesn't check!
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
just relax and enable mtp file transfer in your recovery and a COPY ON YOUR SD AND MOUNT YOUR SD ...as easy as that ...OR just get a sd card and put it in your computer and the noverity zip on it and put it into the phone ...

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------

When i say sd I MEAN EXTERNAL REMOVABLE SD CARD that put into the phone ..not internal sd
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] datiel12:
Ahh, Okay. I need to find an SD Card. AGHHH... This isn't gonna be great.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
like so.....
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] datiel12:
Ok, so i flashed no-verity.zip and I'm still unable to get into my phone! I also cant select Data in the mount section.. Im still freaking out because I really love this phone! I want to get it back to normal!!!
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Did you select format data, or format each partition? In twrp select reboot, then bootloader. Then scroll to start and tap power button. Sometimes formatting data causes it to boot to recovery.

Didn't you see in the root instructions it says you need to have an SD card? That's where you put all the root files like no verity and magisk.

You can always flash stock with rsdlite. Easy peasy.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] datiel12:
At the part where it said to wipe, I accidentally swiped and didn't press format data. Instead it factory reseted
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
go to backup and select the EXTERNAL sd card and make a backup

go to format button and format /data as EXT4

*disregard warnings

aftrer complete go to reboot button and press reboot RECOVERY

_now mount data

_flash magisk 15.3 not lower

_now flash no verity

_try to reboot
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
That's fine. It just wipes data. You can flash back to stock with rsdlite on PC.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] datiel12:
I was gonna do that but im not sure how to tell which one to choose. I have a sprint variant and there are 4 other sprint variant. And I didn't see the instruction saying it required an SD card...
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] datiel12:
Im just gonna stock reset once I figure out which stock to use.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
If you flash magisk, you shouldn't need the no verity zip.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
well that would be a waste of time if you want root

just calm down and try different things slowly and calmly ...follow the steps ...you will be fine ..retrace to the last good step ...go format your /data partition ...go flash magisk & noverity &boot
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
The one that has sprint and 7.1.1 in the title is for sprint. I used the one without 7.1.1 for my virgin mobile version.

Well, now I can get into fastboot bootloader mode! Its just trying to start will make twrp come up.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
are you actually reading and taking anything in or just pressing whatever ..starting from the guide ...what are you doing in fastboot ? just get an sd card and put no verity and magisk on it and then go back to twrp and actually FOLLOW the advice step by step ...

when you wiped did you wipe data or system ? didnt you make a backup before starting this whole journey by just booting twrp not flashing it via fastboot ...? anyway ..good luck
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Slow down dude. In bootloader mode the volume button scrolls through selections. But your phone is not going to boot until you do as [MENTION=7853675]KevMetal[/MENTION] suggests and follow the instructions.

Format your data and flash magisk.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] datiel12:
Yeah, I was being a bit too fast. Now I just need to make the System r/w like the guide says.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Hope you get it going. I gotta cut out for a bit, I'm in New Orleans and got Mardi gras parades to hit.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] datiel12:
Yeah, I can use my phone now! But if I go into TWRP and flash something will it mess up my phone or not?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Well that depends on what you flash dude. There is always a risk when you flash anything. Make a full backup first. What are you thinking of flashing?

This is BS and should be taken down because it gives people with Verizon s5's with cid11 false hope.

[General Questions and Answers] Jlw_:
My p9 lite is VNS-L22C706B120. I never upgraded it since I bought it in New Zealand, though I have received notification of updating to B130 for a long while.

Recently I tried updating to B130 in order to get Android 7 finally, but got problem that the successful update takes no effect at all. I still remain at B120 and keep receiving update notification to B130. I described my steps recently as below:

Try Updater

First of all, I tried using Updater downloading the package and install, it says update failed because the package it not found. I found the reason is the update package is stored in internal storage other than SD card. Then I created dload folder and moved update package to SD card, but Updater cannot detect it and keep telling me to download B130. Therefore, I tried pressing Volume Up, Down and Power button together. Then the package is detected and installing started. It is very fast and I was told install success. However, after rebooting I still have B120 and am told to update to B130 by Updater.

Unlock bootloader and root

Yesterday, I decided to try custom ROM, so I managed to unlock the bootloader, install TWRY and root the phone, though I still cannot make B130 update take effect. I searched for a few custom Rom with Android 7, but I found they still required a higher firmware version than B120, like this ROM, which requires EMUI 5.X.

The help I need

I wonder if I can flash the ROMS that require a higher firmware version when I only got B120 firmware. If I cannot, how can I get my firmware updated, through Updater or any other way (like TWRY possibly) ?

I hope I have stated my problem properly so that you guys can understand. I appreciate any suggestions!

Hi All,

I have a Tmobile Note 8 with the stock rom and installed all updates. When I search in the App Drawer for "F" the Finder App crashes. It seems Facebook is the cause of this issue. Immediately when I uninstall it, i'm able to pull up results that contain F. Searching for other characters that is contained in Facebook also crashes the app.

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue. This also occurs on my Wife's Note 8.

The Facebook version I have installed is from the Play Store version 157.0.0.38.97. The Finder App version is 7.1.19. Android Version is at 7.1.1.
