[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] cidlc:
My old Moto G5 Plus suddenly shutdown and was stuck in a bootloop after an update install (not sure if that caused it), is there a risk that the same thing will happen if I update to 93? I RMAd my old phone and Motorola sent me a completely new one after 3 days. My old phone didn't have OEM unlocked so I couldn't even unlock its bootloader, so my only choice was to send it back to Motorola.

Would it be a better option to unlock bootloader, root and install twrp instead? If the same thing happens to my new phone, since I have it rooted and all I can flash new ROMs and firmware so it works again, right? Is it not worth it to void my warranty?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] acejavelin:
Should you take the update? Yes, there is no reason not to.

Is there a risk it could brick in the process? Yes, but honestly if your device is stock that risk is minimal

Would it be a better option to unlock bootloader, root and install twrp instead? No, it will void your warranty

The question is, what do you want in the end, a stock device with a warranty or a modified device without one? If you want a modified device without a warranty, go for it. If you want a stock device with one, although I understand your hesitation due to previous issues, go ahead and take the OTA, worst case scenario Moto will replace it again, although you are unlikely to have issues.

You do have the option to make that decision later... Enable Developer Options and go into it and enable OEM Unlocking but DO NOT actually unlock the bootloader, then take the upgrade. If it succeeds, just turn off OEM Unlocking, if it fails you have option to try something to recover it. Be aware if actually unlock the bootloader the warranty is gone, so if on the off-chance it does fail don't panic and try to think clearly.

Hi,

Is here any A1 owner who may be received his/her Xiaomi A1(Global version) with bootloader unlocked by default?

Is that happed already by some of you, or is it impossible that it came out from factory as bootloader opened?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] riccetto80:
sound suspicious...

box was sealed with plastic wrap?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] CommandAir:
Yes, it was wrapped.

As it used to happen with Xiaomi products. No alteration found in package.

Looked 100% original, source is also 100% clean, as official distributor.

Don't blame the distributor. Just curious that is a single case manufacturing issue could happened maybe...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Eagle1337:
wouldn't be a manufacturing issue there. it's pretty easy to reseal things.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] RavinduSha:
If the bootloader was unlocked at the time you purchased the device, someone has tampered with your device.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Chiggie14899:
Its a possibility you got Mi 5X with android one rom, thus the unlocked bootloader. Check on Xiaomi's Imei Checker website.

And if it turn out to be Mi A1 , flash stock and lock bootloader, no warranty void whatsoever.

Should the phone must be rooted before instalilng CR or ROOT can be install of the trough CR instalation procedure (eg magic). Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oddbehreif:
Your phone doesn't have to be rooted to install a custom recovery (I assume that's what you mean by CR). However, a custom recovery is required to flash either Magisk or SuperSU.

Flash a custom recovery using Odin first, then boot into recovery and flash the flashable zip containing a superuser management tool of your choice!

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] dunderball:
I have used this one: POTTER_NPN25.137-83_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

I was on this version for a while, rooted, and I had to use this firmware to reflash back to stock in order to take the OTA successfully (the OTA is NPNS25.137-93-4, which is the latest as of this writing).

I basically flashed everything from the flashfile.xml
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] roydhritiman:
did going back to stock and accepting the OTA work for you??!
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] dunderball:
I ended up with some kind of error with the OEM partition, but in the end all of the details on my settings screen show that I'm on the latest security patch, kernel, etc.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] dlong:
What does this version of the firmware say for (in the About settings) Software Channel? Android Version? Or rather, I guess what does it say now that you think it took the OTA successfully?

The OTA that are downloaded into /cache are named something like Blur_* right? Do you know if those OTA contains the full image or is it just patches to various parts of the system?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] psychopac:
Patches, a full ROM is rarely sent as an OTA. You'll know it's a full ROM if the size of the OTA is greater than 1GB. Anything less than say 300-400MB is patches to the system
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] dunderball:
I went from version 83 to successful OTA 92 (November patch), then to 93 January patch (but ended up with a failure message after booting up for whatever reason). I'm on retus, baseband M8953_37.46.07.47R POTTER_NA_CUST, build number NPNS25.137-93-4.

As far as I see, I don't see any full stock firmware out for NPNS25.137-93-4 which is unfortunate. I have a feeling my update to Oreo will fail if it ever comes out. I'm not even sure why my OTA fails, as I do my best to avoid modifying any partitions and mostly use systemless modules through Magisk. Whatever though.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] dlong:
:( No joy. So apparently, since I'm on NPN25.137-92 (POTTER_RETAIL_7.0_NPN25.137-92_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip), I wasn't able to downgrade to (POTTER_RETAIL_7.0_NPNS25.137-33-5_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip).

I did re-flash everything and the results seems to be the same (unable to 'see' new updates). I am on November 2017 patch but when I check for upgrades, it states the system is up to date.

I hope that because my phone is 'unlocked from store (Costco - USA)' that RETAIL is the correct firmware. Anyone know for sure?

Also... I guess I wiped recovery when I installed TWRP. Is there an OEM recovery.img available for Moto 5G Plus?

Edit: So the whole reason, I originally rooted my phone was so that I can enable Hot Spot by adding net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to /system/build.prop (now I wonder if root is even required to do that?)

Hi!

I've installed Agenda Fusion 8.5, where I really like the weekly-calendar view.

But for some reason - I've been looking for a solution for a couple of days now - I cant get it to work as my standard calendar app, meaning that it comes up when I press the "Calendar" soft-button on the today screen...

any suggestions for that?

thanks!
[Touch Cruise General] HardRoc:
If you know how to edit your registry its pretty easy:

(From the Tweaks post in the Upgrading forum)

To attach a program to a soft key:

HKey_current_user -> Software -> Microsoft -> Today -> Keys -112 (for left key) / 113 (for right key) -> Open (change the program to whatever you want)

In the key "Default" you can change the text for the soft-key.

Let me know if you need help editing the registry...

[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] mark_at:
Hi there!

Last years I always had xposed framework on my phone. And what I loved most >>> xprivacy.

Like this I had the impression I could control what was happening on my phone ... not allowing apps to spy on me or read data that they do not need.

So I came here to root my new Honor V10 and hoped to find here again my beloved xprivacy. But now I had to find out that xprivacy is not getting developed anymore and there is nothing available that would do the same job.

So I am asking myself if developers do not care anymore about privacy. Are you all not interested in having privacy? Did you give up on it?

I wonder why I need root now if not for privacy. Adblocking ... ok, but I am surprised that there is no development in the area of data control and privacy.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] iwanttoknow:
You can search for XPrivacyLua.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] mark_at:
Thank you.

I will try it as soon as Xposed is working on my Honor V10.

But the question for me was also about privacy in general. I am surprised that so few people and developers care or worry about privacy.

For me this is the MAIN reason to root ... to have more control about my data.
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] CertifiedBlyndGuy:
It isn't that we don't care about privacy. It's just that Android itself has never really been privacy focused, and the APIs it already provides get the job done. XPrivacy just allows more control over what is already there.

My honest opinion? If you want privacy then use Lineage and stray away from GApps. Privacy Guard is very flexible, and automates Androids permission scheme for you. GApps on the other hand? Well, Google at its heart is an ad company. The choices they make and data they submit behind your back gets done rather you change some small permission or not. GMS has its ways. And even without them, it comes down to how much you can really trust the concept of not having your data submitted. Does a tiny little switch that says it makes your phone more secure really provide enough to convince you that it is?

I guess what I'm saying here is privacy is an illusion. You might as well enjoy the ride ;). I mean, according to the NSA I'm being spied on by China right now. Part of me cares, but the other part tells me that I've been spied on by more than just them. Enjoy the show Bejing :)
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] mark_at:
Well, I am used to Xprivacy where I am able to allow or not allow different "rights" to all the apps that I have installed.

If you see one time only what is happening in the background (activity log) and what apps are trying to check on your phone, then you would for sure be a big fan of Xprivacy very fast.

And even if I do not allow half of the things, the apps mostly work without problems.

And I tried LineageOS on my phone, but I prefer the original ROM, I did not see any advantage for myself.

Hey, Badger! Where'd you get that Dolby MM? Did it shown up for ya after you flashed the Dolby-Oreo.zip or is it different? I ask cause I used that zip and it installed to system for me so of I could go systemless, it'd be awesome. :)

If it shows up in the magisk manager modules section, just uninstall it from there. Reboot, then install it again.

[General Questions and Answers] unholy182000:
Hello everyone i have a question for you that will make a choice for me to root/modify/upgrade (or whatever you guys doing) my tablet or just leave it alone.

First of all i have a Motorola Xoom 2 Media Edition tablet running Android 4.0.4. I have software and hardware experience on pc windows and linux but not so much on android.

My main problem with my tablet is its running Android 4.0.4 and when i tried to install apps (especially multimedia apps like netflix , bein connect and youtube) it says my device is not compatible. And in general my tablet feels slower to when i bought it first time about 5 years ago.

My questions are;

1-Would i be able to upgrade android to newer editions at least android 5.0.0? I am asking this because my phone has android 5.0.0 and i have no problems with apps as of now.

2-If i root/modify android can i run apps like netflix and youtube or there are more problems waiting?

3-Would modifying help the speed of tablet or would it slow it down even more? Like trying to install windows 8 on a windows xp level of pc.

I'm asking these because i dont want to spend days just to find out it was not the answer i was looking for.

I hope i made myself clear please add any suggestion or roadmaps for a newbie like me. Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] firedroidx:
Technically rooting doesn't allow you to upgrade your version of Android, it's the custom recovery you install that does. If there's a custom ROM out there that supports your old tablet it will work. Youtube is unaffected by root and I don't think Netflix is either. Finally, rooting technically could help the speed of your tablet if you change things like disabling fsync or running TRIM, but rooting itself doesn't change performance. Just be warned that there might not be a Lollipop or newer custom rom for your tablet!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] eddyve:
The mobile operator name is a funny story over the wm6 and 6.1 roms. In some 6 roms my operator name (=telenet) is displayed correctly, other roms gave me the other name (=mobistar), but I could change the name again to telenet using this registry change hklm/software/htc/ril/rilconfig/EnableSpnOnsEonsFeature change from "2" to "8"

Now all the 6.1 roms that I tried already have set this registry key to 8, but my operator. name is mobistar instead of telenet. I have searched everywhere in this forum, but couldn't find a solution. I have to add that the telenet operator is in fact a part of the other operator (mobistar).

Anybody to help?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
I haven't a clue, but I suppose those names are stored some where in a tabel. Perhaps different ROM's use different tabels?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] cesardeluxe:
It is easy

just using a registry editor find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\RIL\Operator Names

Then add STRING VALUE.

You have to enter in VALUE NAME box the code of your operator and on VALUE DATA you have to enter the name you want to give to your operator...

In spain we have:

21401 spain vodafone

21402 spain movistar

21403 spain amena

21404 spain xfera

21407 spain telefonica movistar

Have a look on google to find which is yours.

Thx for the answer, I found that answer too on the forum, but the question remains:"why some roms are displaying the name correctly and others not?"

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] eddyve:

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Antramx:
Hi there,

I could not find any straight answer for this question - will there be more 15.1 ROMs for other devices as the developers finish building them or are those discontinued?

Right now there is just a couple of devices with support for 15.1.

I am particularly looking forward for Nexus 4 (mako) builds.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] ToucanSam:
That's because you're looking for an answer that doesn't exist yet.

There will be more releases for more devices, but you'll have to be patient. There is a lot to consider when bringing old devices newer ROM versions. It's not as simple as a yes or no.

It's great that you're looking forward to more device support, but it'll be announced when they know the answer and are ready to share it. Not before.

There are 170 devices supported by the previous version of Lineage. They didn't all happen on the same day.
