I recently switched from miui9 to resurrection remix oreo 8.1 on my redmi note 4 mido. I miss 2 apps - miui remote and miui gallery. Are there any ports for these apps that i can use? Or any way that i can port these apps on my own?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Souptik Mukherjee:
Miui remote is available in playstore as "mi remote controller"...and instead of miui gallery use quickpic...its a better alternative in my view
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sreekumarts:
Remote APP

Try Remote Master app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suncamgle.live better than Mi remote

Hi there,

After root stock fw 5.0 using CF I notice I can´t copy anything from PC windows 7 to SD (or erase anything in SD using PC) due write restrictions (it´s not possible to exclude FOLDERX. Storage is protected against writing. remove the protection against it and try again.). Is it possible to resolve this?

I can write in SD just fine within droid device and transfer files from internal to external memory using ES explorer - root explorer (/ is RW ; /extSdCard is RW). I´ve already edited the platform.xml to allow media_rw to remove any restrictions as I´ve found in several threads searching in the forum.

I don´t know where to go and appreciate advice from experts.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
Hi all,

I picked up a used G5 Plus (XT1687) on eBay, with the bootloader already unlocked. I immediately installed AICP ROM with a VZW SIM from a working G4. The phone showed LTE for data, but no voice service. That started a long series of firmware changes that saw me trying Pixel Experience, and a few stock ROMs, having my IMEI show as 0 a few times as well.

I'm at a point with the phone now where I'm on the latest retus channel stock ROM (POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip) with the bootloader locked. The phone now connects with 1xRTT for voice and EvDo (3G) for data. If I swap this SIM into my other phone (Pixel XL) I get full LTE in the Pixel but still 3G only in the G5+.

The only other standout item is in the BP tools SIM menu, where I get the following errors.

Phone ICCID Compare with SIM ICCID: ERROR

and

PHONE ICCID: PHONE_ICCID_UNKNOWN

I feel like with all the flashes I may have really screwed things up. does anyone have any recommendations on what to try to get LTE service back?

TIA!
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
I am in the exact same boat. Searching around the web, there are several reports of this model phone not switching properly, from EvDo revA to LTE channels. Many of these are from non bootloader unlocked phones, and Verizon {and other carriers} pass it off to Lenovo and vice versa. I unlocked mine myself, but being an Ebay phone and knowingly unlocking it, I realize their is no recourse, except hoping for a proper modem software fix from moto. I've been able to get LTE/4g working a couple times, but it doesn't last, so it is a 3g phone for now.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
glad I'm not alone here. I'm surprised to hear it happens to phones that have never been unlocked and Moto isn't forthcoming with a fix.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
It seems they would rather replace than fix.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] NeoandGeo:
Same with my phone. It has been unlocked and I've been on numerous variations of ROMs stock and custom. Everything was smooth with no issues until I decided to flash an Oreo 8.1 ROM. Immediately after I was greeted with 3G EVDO-Rev A./1xRTT mode with no access to 4G/LTE on Verizon. Sim Card status is screwy with some apps seeing it, albeit improperly configured, most not able to detect it at all. If I return to any ROM below 8.1 I have no data service whatsoever. Hoping a fix is found as all the workarounds do nothing.

Also like the OP, I can get LTE to stick sometimes by messing around with Radio Bands and switching options around in the 4636 menu. But that leaves me without voice/text/mms service.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
sad but true
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
I came from a Droid Turbo [quark] and have always liked the motorola phones, in my remote area, for the superior radio reception. My Galaxy S4 dropped calls and data in many of the remote areas, so the Turbo was a welcome upgrade. However, even the with the Turbo, there were Roms that we had to clean and flash updated modems for, when they became balky. I wonder if someone with more engineering knowledge than I have, could look at these twrp flashable modem files, and convert to these G5 plus modems.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
Yeah it seems like there should be some way to un**** the phones after flashing an 8.1 ROM. I just don't know enough about the innards of the ROMs either. I had to follow the instructions here https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/help/restore-imei-0-moto-g5-xt1687-t3739808 in order to fix an issue with the phone showing an IMEI of 0. There you end up deleting modemst1 and modemst2. I guess they get replaced by the stock or custom ROM, but I have no idea where you would get copies of those from a ROM that would fix this issue, if such a thing exists.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
Flashing the modem bin. "NON-HLOS.bin" then erasing modemst1 & 2 gets the 4g/lTE back for some, but has never worked for me. The quark modem we installed the "clean modem" zip which according to the read-me

Then flash the modem according to rev of the rom, which included META-INF file folder, boot.img, emmc_appsboot.mbm, fsg.mbn, gpt.bin, logo.bin, modem.img, rpm.img, sbl1.mbn, sdi.mbm, and tz.mbn files.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
Hm so you're saying to do this:

Flash NON-HLOS.bin from the stock ROM zip

erase modemst1

erase modemst2

reboot

And that might restore LTE? I've never just flashed that bin and erased.

In the info file in the stock ROM I'm using, it shows modem version M8953_37.46.07.47R. In the ROM zip I have

boot.img

fsg.mgn

gpt.bin

logo.bin

missing from the list are

emmc_appsboot.mbm

modem.img

rpm.img

sbl1.mbn

sdi.mbm

tz.mbn

I wonder if the stock ROMs from OTA only include the files that changed, so an older stock ROM might have one or more of those missing files. Or those files just don't apply to the G5+ but do to the Quark.

I'll try downloading a bunch of the older stock ROMs and unpacking them and seeing if any of them contain files that aren't included in the one I've been using.

I've also been ignoring this, but I believe these two steps in the stock ROM reflash have always failed for me:

fastboot erase customize

fastboot erase clogo

I'm not sure what they do so I'll have to dig into that.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Archangel:
It is weird that out of the blue I flashed a 8.1 rom,,,after flashing different 8.1 roms before that,,,I lost VZM service all together. Was able to get back 4G data service only, no voice service. However, after a few mins voice service comes back. Never happened the numerous times I flashed 8.1 before so wonder why it happens all the time now? Makes me think there is a design flaw with the internal radio,,,not the modems software? Would really be nice to see an 8.1 update from Moto,,,may help solve these problems.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
yeah a factory Oreo ROM would probably help straighten a bunch of things out.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
I think those errors are normal, at least with some stock roms.

Those extra files were from the quark modem files, which is an older modem/radio, so the drivers are going to be different. By the way, I have flashed the modem, flashed the erase modemst1 & 2 and every combo, yet no luv.

This problem can be attributed to one of 2 things. First would be hardware, but by selecting LTE only in the testing menu, I was able to get data in LTE. So the radio's frequency band that supports LTE from Verizon in these phones does work. The Motorola Moto G5 Plus TD-LTE 32GB XT1687 which I have, supports 4 GSM bands, 5 UMTS bands, 15 LTE bands, and 3 CDMA bands. My carrier Verizon uses 3 LTE bands and 2 CDMA bands. The way I understand how it works, is by default, all 4g/LTE capable phones look for a signal in the bands, approved by your sim, in the LTE range first. If not found, it switches to 3g or CDMA , and if that isn't found, 2g. If we are correct in assuming the radio's ability to receive the 3 LTE bands is still functional, it stands to reason the driver that auto switches to CDMA is corrupt. I lost my 4g/LTE on the Pixel Rom, and not by reverting back to stock. It was the only Rom I had ever flashed on the phone after unlocking and installing twrp recovery. I have since gone back to stock and relocked the bootloader, hoping the next ota will jog the drivers to look for LTE before passing off. The times I have briefly had 4g kind of reinforces the theory that the drivers that pass off to 3g are corrupt.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
A little research into the baseband processor and its radio firmware RTOS [real-time operating system,] shows it to be closed source, proprietary, yet full of flaws. It is even susceptible to the long standing "Hayes command set" but I don't believe this to be where our particular problem lies. Because it is so closed, it is doubtful the Oreo roms were able to inadvertently touch anything inside this secondary operating system all phones have. It is more likely it is the communication between our android firmware, and the radio firmware, but why the restoration back to stock, doesn't remedy it, is a mystery. The devs that adapted the Oreo roms to this device, missed this link or they would not have written to that area, I'm sure.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Archangel:
You guys are a lot smarter than me,,,it just scared the heck out of me. I flashed a 8.1 rom like I have done at least a dozen or so times on this phone and then suddenly no signal at all,,,then just 4g data and no voice service. I went back to a 8.1 back up that I have and within a few mins everything came back. Now, I am afraid to flash anything rom wise for fear of not getting any signal back.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] NeoandGeo:
Something like this really deserves an official statement by Lenovo, Motorola or Verizon. Even if that statement is an unfortunate "you knew the risks associated with unlocking the bootloader and flashing ROMs / modems". Even if none of the three know what exactly is going on they should at least let us know.

Is this problem something that happens with all carriers and their LTE signals? Am I right in thinking that using Verizon is currently the only carrier in which the issue can't be fully repaired?

I havent yet restored my partially working (3g/1x) EFS backup to a stock Nougat Rom yet as I want to have 4G working as well if I do that. If the other carriers can be fully repaired I'll just switch carriers until I get a new phone.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
There have been some reports around that putting in a GSM sim even temporarily brings back LTE. I haven't had access to one to try.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
Yeah that all seems to make sense. Something we broke with a software change should be fixable with a software change. Hopefully the next OTA isn't too far away.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
That's interesting. My wife is on T-Mobile and was using a Moto G4, now a Pixel. I'll have to snag her SIM for a few minutes to see what happens later this afternoon. I'll report back. :good:
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
It might pay to remove your sim, flash the

fastboot erase modemst1 fastboot erase modemst2

and then insert her sim. I'm just thinking that would clear the modem for the new bands to set themselves.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
Roger that.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
I skimmed a few different stock ROMS from firmware.center. The ones I looked at all had the same list of file names in them. so whatever changes come with the updated ROM come from the contents of those files, not from the inclusion of one or more extra files. It seems like you'd need to join the system.img_sparsechunk.X files and then unpack it, or perhaps unpack one of the .bin, to see if they might contain additional files that could be swapped out for older versions and repacked to flash. I imagine doing that would break the signature for that ROM though, forcing it to be flashed through an unlocked bootloader, FWIW.

I'm just guessing here though. I may spend some time later on trying to get to understand this whole process better if a workaround doesn't materialize soon.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
From my studies, there are 3 total operating systems. The [1]main android, [2]the radio firmware [ROTS] with it's own separate baseband processor, [3] sim [with it's own smart chip mini system]. 2 of these are propitiatory, i.e. can't be written to, without a hack, #'s 2 & 3. The 3 inter-communicate but the only one we have any control over, is the android. It appears the modem bins are where the handshakes occur to authorize or reject what we ask it to do. Like I mentioned earlier, with the QUARK phone, st1224, st1225, there were TWRP flashable files to clean and format the modem, and files to fix and upgrade the radio/modem. I believe it was BHB27 who interpreted and re-compiled those, but I'm not positive. If resetting by inserting the GSM sim doesn't work, I'll look further into how those were read/compiled, and how to read what we are currently running that isn't passing on the handshake correctly.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
Prior to putting in the T-Mobile SIM for the first time, I erased modemst1 and modemst2. When the phone booted up my IMEI was 0 and had no cellular service. I reset network settings for kicks, but nothing changed. I did a factory reset, still IMEI was 0. I rebooted to the bootloader and selected BP Tools. In the CQATest app, I ran the SIM card test and still have the PHONE ICCID: PHONE_ICCID_UNKNOWN and Phone ICCID Compare with SIM ICCID: Error.

I'm going to reflash the 137-93-4 firmware without unlocking the bootloader and see what happens.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
You will need to restore your efs partition to get rid of that IMEI 0. Then try her sim.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
So flash TWRP with the stock ROM and restore the partition then reflash the stock recovery?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
Yes
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] NeoandGeo:
I went and got a couple of $1 GSM Sim Kits, when I pop in the Simple Mobile (T-Mobile) all the advanced 4G LTE options popped up for toggle, Wifi Calling/Video Calling etc.

LTE was still acting up on the GSM bands, it it seemed to be, do not have any type of service, this is with a non power cycled Sim swap. I can try more methods or experimentation later on to help further the investigation along.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
I think without service, it wouldn't lock onto LTE band. It would just cycle through the progression, and give 911 calling only.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
my efs backup is on my laptop at work, so I'll have to work on this tomorrow night when I can snag the TMobile SIM again.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
I can understand the wife not wanting her phone fubarred. LOL You could just flash an Oreo rom and use TWRP to save the efs partition. I keep a copy on my SDcard now, with all this flashing I do.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] NeoandGeo:
That is what I figured. It was nice seeing the advanced options fill themselves back in.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
OK, restored EFS partition and got my IMEI back. The G5+ with the TMobile SIM comes up with GSM for voice and EDGE for data. In the 4636 menu, preferred network type is LTE/UMTS auto (PRL). In cellular network settings the Preferred network type is LTE (recommended) and the APN is T-Mobile US 260 LTE Other choices for APN are T-Mobile IMS and T-Mobile US DUN. T-Mobile US 260 MMS is in the menu list but there is no option to choose it for some reason.

Booting with BP Tools, in the CQATest app, I still have the ICCID error.

I haven't flashed a custom ROM yet and tried the TMobile SIM, but could try that quick. My bootloader is still unlocked with TWRP flashed to recovery.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
and FWIW I moved my VZW SIM from the G5+ to my old Moto G4, which is running today's daily of AICP 13.1. It connected with LTE for data but nothing for voice. After a few reboots it lost LTE and is now connected with 1xRTT for voice and EvDo for data, the same as the G5+. So it seems like both phones exhibit the same symptoms when upgraded to an 8.1 custom ROM.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
Are others in the Moto G4 section having LTE problems?

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

Do you get any service, voice or data?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
I had been ignoring the Moto G4, so I'm not sure what the latest is there.

Yes, had voice and data, but on EDGE for data rather than LTE with the T-Mobile SIM. Seems like the same issue with getting stuck on 3G as the VZW SIM.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
The ICCID error is strange, as most who report that don't get service. I don't have that error, nor have I ever had it. The sim number should just roll with a new/different sim.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

Just to add, most who have a mismatch ICCID are carrier locked.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] fuzzydorito:
I too am having the same exact problem. Realized after flashing that I've lost my VoLTE, Voice, Verizon Internet, and dignity. Rushed to XDA in hopes of recovering from that mistake only to be further disappointed. Why can't anyone that HAS a backup prior to help the rest of us out by sharing those specific files? They don't hold compromising data. Also, visited Best Buy in hopes of switching phones, denied even though I'm within my 14-day return period :(
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
It seems to be most prevalent with Verizon as the carrier. My son has a GSM sim and will be visiting in the next couple days, I'll try his sim as I don't have the ICCID error, just the no 4G/LTE.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] fuzzydorito:
My device doesn't have a listing for ICCID anywhere. As if it got erased or something. Good luck with that though, if it's not a hassle do keep us informed.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
so do you think the ICCID error is unrelated to the issue with being stuck on 3G? I mentioned that the G5+ came from eBay and already had it's bootloader unlocked. if it originated as a carrier locked phone, is there any way to determine which carrier and if that carrier can unlock it?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
I can't say for sure if they are related, but my ICCID is fine, and I still don't have 4G/LTE.

Google search of mismatch ICCID brought up the carrier lock explanation.

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

Since it already had the bootloader unlocked, I guess it is possible the previous owner unlocked that, thinking it was the same as carrier unlocked. I always thought the moto g5 plus was carrier unlocked by default, but there are sites claiming to be carrier unlocking them.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] bra1niac:
Well, installing either the TMobile SIM or VZW SIM, I was never prompted to enter an unlock code. The sites that seem to offer a carrier unlocking service (while seeming super scammy) indicate that when you add a SIM to a carrier locked phone, you'll be prompted to enter the unlock code that they provide. Since that never happens I guess its safe to assume that this phone wasn't carrier locked.

If I flash my Moto G4 back to stock and boot into BP Tools I could see if that phone reports the same ICCID error or not. That phone came straight from Motorola to me, so I can be confident it is carrier unlocked.

Based on what I've seen though I'm thinking these are separate issues. I'm going to reach out to the seller on eBay to see if they can shed any light on the issue of the carrier lock just for kicks.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] fuzzydorito:
Spoke with a verizon rep/IT (higher tier) yesterday evening. I had put my Verizon SIM into another device and called to activate it, but decided to test with my Moto instead during the call. He was monitoring my SIM on his end and he said it's strange that the SIM card on this device wont send updated data back to Verizon, he could contact it but couldn't get it to activate, just on my Moto G5+. And he asked for my ICCID and I told him I don't even have it listed as 0, that it simply doesn't exist. He was at a complete loss of what to do besides contact manufacturer.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
It wouldn't send data from the other device? I can put my sim in either of my other 2 phones, [Galaxy S4, Droid Turbo] and everything works fine, 4G/LTE is perfect. Both are rooted although S4 is Verizon phone with their bootloader. Only problem comes when I put sim in the moto g5 plus, then no 4G/LTE.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] fuzzydorito:
You misunderstood my friend, while I was activating my other phone I decided to test if the Verizon rep could contact/update my SIM on my G5+, which doesn't have VoLTE or service. He couldn't get the SIM to contact their servers and update, even though he could make contact with it. Strange.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
Ahhh, ok, that sort of verifies some of the other reports I ran across, whereby moto g5+ with Verizon were losing 4G/LTE even though they were not unlocked bootloaders, and had never flashed Oreo roms. Verizon blamed Lenovo, and of course the Lenovo forum spokespeople put it on Verizon. That kind of duality doesn't bode well for us ever fixing these phones.
