Dang now its totally bricked after the flashing failure... cannot boot up. what should I do? send it back to Essential?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] seabro01:
What do you mean by can't boot up? Do you see boot animation and have you tried to go back to fast boot or recovery?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Seamonkey79:
Try different USB ports and cables. When 8.1 came out I had to swap my cable and change the port I was using on my desktop, for some reason the cable I had been using and the port I had been using since I got the phone was no longer adequate. There were a number of other people having the same issue. Some commands would look to complete properly, but following up with the same command (something un-damaging like fastboot --set-active=a | fastboot --set-active=b) would either error again or show that the 'completed' command hadn't actually done anything. I switched cables/ports around (ended up with an Antek USB-A to USB-C cable in a USB3.1 port) and everything worked properly.

If you're trying to flash a stock build image from Essential, you will probably need critical unlocked because those images do contain a bootloader that gets flashed, and that is secured behind critical.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
What cable are you using?

Do not use the cable that came with the phone!!!!!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Inerthia:
We are screwed mate, I am on the same boat with you. Essential took no responsibility and offered a 200$ replacement device. The phone doesn't power on anymore and no light indicators are working, so hard bricked.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] gflexstump:
I had a Asoip screw up(did not disable password) and was only able to get fastboot. Had to see what slot was active and flashed to that slot that was active boot.img,twrp,Asoip and was back up and running. My bootloader was unlocked. I read through all the posts and peoples screw ups and was able to get it up and running again in a day. I never posted as I wanted to learn it on my own. Good luck.........
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Arju:
What cable did you use while connecting to your computer?

And what is the status now? Are you able to turn it on at all by volume and power key combination?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] ytlei:
same here. The phone doesn't power on anymore. btw I used the usb-c TDB cable came with my MacBook pro.

I sent email to essential and they say they can't help me since I tried to flash custom rom...
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Arju:
and pressing the volume down key + power key at the same time doesn't work?.. what happens when you plug your phone into the charger? does it vibrate?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] The_Automator:
ive had fastboot command problems previously myself with this device and found that the usb port can play a pretty large factor. Swapping usb ports and reattempting to run the commands (as others recommended may be useful) make sure you are using latest version of adb/fastboot and have up to date drivers installed for the phone.

Look at the rooting tutorial there is information in there about swapping active slots (the essential has both a and b paritions) if you set the other slot as the active slot you may be able to regain some communication within fastboot (i would suggest you verify with fastboot devices prior to attempting to flash to partitions).

Additionally you should be able to still recover back to stock without custom recovery using the default recovery partition. I would think that if you are able to access the bootloader you should be able to access the default essential recovery partition. If you can access the standard recovery you should be able to factory reset the phone and sideload a new rom (id suggest the default factory image from essential until you can get back to square one)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] nathris:
I'm in the same boat. Tried to flash twrp after upgrading to 8.1 and got the same Error flashing partition, and now I'm stuck on the bootloader.

I've found that if I lock/unlock and lock/unlock critical it will let me flash the stock 8.1 boot and every other partition except for system and vendor, but gives a flash write error for those. I'm still unable to get past the bootloader.

Essential basically said I'm SOL. $200 out of warranty replacement assuming I live in the US, which I don't.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] RenaKunisaki:
Mine was doing this too, but it was only a few days old so I returned it. I'm pretty sure it's defective flash memory.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jAm-0:
My phone was doing this exact thing. Botched factory installs rendered my phone hardbricked.

Tried a thousand+ things to get it to turn on to no avail. LUCKILY I bought it second hand and have no warranty D:

Hi everyone.

After playing around with the camcorder, I came to this conclusion: Video recording works fine when shutter speed is over a value of approximately 25. Anything less than that, the phone starts dropping frames resulting in a horrible 14fps.

My request to any willing devs is this:

Can we modify the driver so that shutter speed doesn't drop below a certain value?

I sincerely believe that this would fix night time video.

OOS has forced encryption whereas aosp and lineage based ROMs do not. You do not need to worry about encryption or verity on an aosp ROM like RR, especially if you choose to flash root as well
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DragonFire1024:
If you ever used an Xposed module to remove quick setting tiles from the status bar, then you probably know the System UI will crash immediately after or sometimes a few days after. I have found a way to add and remove as many quick setting tiles from the status bar as you like, and won't cause the System UI to crash.

This guide is pretty easy and only consists of a few steps.

1. Download and install 'Settings Database Editor' from the play store, but don't open it just yet.

2. Open an ADB window and type the following command which will rant the application permission to edit Android's internal secure settings:

adb shell pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

3. Open Settings Database Editor and tap on the dot next to 'secure'.

4. Scroll down until you see the setting titled:

sysui_qs_tiles

5. Tap on the setting. You can now edit the setting and remove any tiles you don't want. Make sure to keep a back up of the list of tiles you removed. Tap save when done. Generally NO reboot is required. Pull down your statusbar ;) See images below:

Hi i just want to ask how can i do it without using ADB thru PC my usb port is broken.

i can only do thru recovery. but the recovery built in Lineage always stuck when i flashing root

and can't find a way to install TWRP from recovery

any solution?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biits1993:
I had twrp installed previously. But after installing lineage os 14.1(yuga) TWRP got replaced by some weird recovery. I've done it in this way, but it needs a pc, just ask a friend, it doesn't take much time.

1. install required fastboot drivers in pc.

2. boot the device into fastboot mode , pressing vol- down button and connect it to usb port of PC. the red led will turn into blue. It means the phone is in fastboot mode.

3. Open cmd in the directory where twrp-2.87+ is. boot temporarily in the recovery issuing command-

fastboot boot twrp-2.87.img

4. the phone will boot into twrp recovery.

5. Extract boot.img from your ROM's zip(lineage os in this case) and place it in internal storage

6. Place twrp-2.87[recovery] you want to install in internal storage as well

7. from recovery select install->install images

8. select boot.img and select *boot partition in the following screen.

9. similarly select recovery.img and select *recovery partition.

Follow the steps 8,9 sequentially otherwise it may cause problem.

[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] Scholeggo:
I would like it if a developer like nayan deka or amarc78 would provide an Android Oreo (8.1, NOT 8.0) custom ROM for the Moto E4 (Qualcomm), like a RR-O, Pixel Experience 8.1, Lineage OS 15.1, or AICP 13.1.

Any of those would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] ry755:
I'd really like that too! I'm really disappointed with Motorola lately. Ever since Lenovo bought them it's been downhill. I know the E4 is a budget phone, but come on Moto, just one major update, please? ;)
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] nayan deka:
Its under construction,,,also place this thread in Q&A section
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] fireball0093:
It's a WIP currently, not to mention a lot of Oreo ROM sources such as Dot, MoonOS, etc. are still WIP too. We'll try when we can ^.^
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] Scholeggo:
Ok. Question: if you were to take a Lineage OS 15 ROM, and port it for the e4, approximately how long would it take to successfully port it?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
We try not to ask for eta here. It's actually against the rules. Besides, it's not a matter of porting. It's about creating a device tree for Oreo for this device. That is pretty involved, and there are folks working on it. Sit tight, and try not to ask for eta, it kinda rude. It will happen when it happens. Remember, we don't even have ANY official nougat ROMs yet.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] fireball0093:
I applied for maintainership of DotOS, once Oreo trees are up and LTE is patched into the trees for it to work without flashing anything then there's a chance Dot will be official. I'm also in the process of applying to have crDroid official for the Perry and also the Falcon. Seems like a few ROM sources are waiting for Oreo builds for devices before bringing on maintainers now that Oreo seems to be the main focus of development
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Yeah I've been following that too. But he still deserves a slap on the wrist for asking for an ETA. Lol
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] nayan deka:
No ETA buddy
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] DB126:
Did this really need a request? Oreo (wait...only 8.1; none of that 8.0 crap) will come when prerequisites are in place and the *volunteer* ROM maintainers have time to address. Until then you'll need to 'suffer' through one of the numerous Nougat based alternatives...including stable, fully featured stock. Toss in Xposed framework and a couple modules and you have everything Oreo brings to the table.

Any testing builds in the Google+ group?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] Scholeggo:
Well, with Lineage OS 15.1 now out in the wild, I can't wait to see it being ported to the E4 soon.

I chose to watch the e4, because of all the phones shown in MetroPCS free offer deal (gonna switch from Sprint soon), the E4 looked more like it could take Lineage OS 15.1. I looked for even LOS 14.1 ROMs, and not one of these phones could provide me with an accurate result, except the e4.

Question: with all these ROMs now developing from Lineage OS 15.1, which ROM would you recommend I flash when I get the phone? RR, AICP, AEX, DotOS, or plain ol' Lineage?

I'd like it if one of the LOS 15.1 developers for the E4 were to make their builds official. It could really help with OTAs.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Dude, it's more involved than you think to make rom official. You don't get to just "make" it official. LineageOS has very strict criteria for it becoming official (especially since 15). Just relax. We're still waiting for an Oreo common tree to be made. All of the nougat ROMs work fine on the metro e4.

It could be weeks before we see anything Oreo related. Maybe you should try learning to build something. You'll see what it takes for an official build. You have to have everything functioning, apply for maintainership, have it reviewed, be responsible for building it weekly, making sure everything stays functioning with every update, etc. Etc.

The roms that are available now are great. These guys do it in their spair time, because they like it.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] fireball0093:
With Lineage 15.1 for the E4, it's likely similar to how it is with the Moto G4 Play I also have. Only Squid can have Official LOS 15.1 on the Harpia, it'll probably be the same with the Perry especially since he does a lot on the device tree side of things. Plus most devs create ROMs they'd use such as myself (not everyone of course). I'm personally only unofficially maintaining the ROMs I'd personally use and there's no guarantee that I'll be able to become an official maintainer either in the future, it's all up to the ROM source maintainers and also almost every little thing has to be working flawlessly and there's still a few things that need to be worked on for Nougat. I do understand the excitement for a new Android release in the custom rom world, trust me I can't wait to get Oreo running on the E4 after using it on my G4P and I was hella excited for Lollipop on my old Nexus 4 years ago, however after developing I've more than learned it does take time. Madbat's right too, there are a good bit of custom Nougat roms out that will do the job for now and he's also right that it takes a lot to become a maintainer. As for which rom to recommend, all I gotta say is flash a few Nougat roms and experiment with them to see what suits your preferences the most. I might recommend Slim7 or Dot, and you might end up not liking them and like something entirely different. It'll come. Might be a few weeks, might be a month or two from now at least. But I tell you what as soon as trees are all up, expect Dot, MoonOS and possibly SlimROM. I have absolutely no ETA at this point either, just going with the flow right now ^.^
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] Scholeggo:
Ok. I heard from recent MetroPCS customers that the battery isn't the best, calls get hung up (and reception isn't good), and multitasking isn't great, there can be some network issues, and unfortunately, a bit more here.

If I were to buy the phone, and flash a one of the Nougat ROMs available, how would they improve the phone, concerning these problems found on the stock ROM? And how good was the gameplay for AR games like Pokemon Go, and graphic-demanding games, like Asphalt 8?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
It's a budget phone. It is what it is. I can say from experience, battery life and multitasking are just fine. Reception depends on location. Metro has a pretty big network, and they merged with t mobile.

It's one of the best budget devices around.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] Scholeggo:
Ok. How were the high-end graphics games?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
I'm a bit too old for games on a phone, lol. But if you need super performance, mega battery, and all that, maybe a budget phone isn't what you're looking for. Sounds like you need a great mid range, or a flagship. Not a entry level budget phone.

But I never get the issues you described. No dropped calls, no bad reception, battery lasts most of the day with moderate usage.

All on stock. Rooted of course. Xposed gravitybox, and greenify and amplify for helpers.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] Scholeggo:
Oh. Nice.

Yeah, I'm on Sprint, and I wanted a new phone, but I couldn't afford it, but Metro's deal caught my eye. So I wanted to see what free phone I could get, though they're not budget phones, and out of the ones on the online list, the e4 looked more promising to Oreo support in ROMs than the others, so... yeah, that's why I've been keeping my eye on this forum.

And from what carrier did you buy your e4?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Mine is from Virgin mobile (sprint mvno). Boost has them for like $39. You can get them at Walmart for like $20

Sprint has them too

By the way, when you get a "free" phone from metro, if you're not already a customer, your gonna pay 60-80 dollars. For first month of service and activation and whatnot.

All of the free phones are going to be budget devices. But as far as budget phones go, this is one of the best out there.

It might get Oreo over the next few months, hard to tell at this point.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] Scholeggo:
You're talking the $60 plan with hotspot?

I was also wondering if the Metro variant was really Qualcomm-powered, and will work with one of the existing Nougat ROMs?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] fireball0093:
It is Qualcomm
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] DB126:
I also own the E4. Actually a pair: an unlocked XT1768 and a Verizon only XT1767 purchased at Walmart for $40 USD. Also have a pair of unlocked G4 Play XT1607s which is an older but similar design. All have decent battery life which comes a no surprise given modest hardware specs. No issues with CDMA in the 800+ mile radius of normal travel. Haven't used GSM enough to draw any conclusions other than is works on the XT1607/XT1768. WiFi and BT radios are fine. I don't game but expect the experience would be so-so given weak GPU. The E4 is clearly a superior device except for exterior shell if you care about naked appearance; I always use a case. Most importantly the GPS is excellent on the E4 which was the primary driver for moving away from G4P which suffers from an uncorrectable design defect. Also like the finger print sensor and snappier response which I can't fully explain given similar (albeit not identical) hardware.

Bottom line: Moto E4 is probably the best 'budget' phone on the market today.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Many metro users are happily using the existing ROMs. Yes it's Qualcomm.

On a side note, I noticed you said Pokemon go. I saw a user saying that they had trouble connecting to a Pokemon go plus device with this phone. I don't use anything like that, but thought it might interest you.
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] Scholeggo:
Nah, I don't care to buy those, I just play the game.

When I asked you about the existing ROMs, I mean the custom ROMs on this forum, just for clarification..?
[Moto E4 Questions & Answers] madbat99:
Yep
