This phone has some oddities. I lost mobile data for a good couple of hours and a factory reset in stock recovery was the only solution. Can you guys try that? Not twrp, not aosp recovery, the official one from the stock boot.img from a flash all
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Josh McGrath:
That's exactly what I had to do too. I lost mobile data, imei and wifi. I had to reflash the official 27.1 flash all to get things working right again.

This phone definitely has oddities.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] aztdaniel:
So I installed the android sdk on my mac and connected my phone. The Android Auto emulator fired up and worked fine. So there is something different happening when connecting to my Pioneer head unit.

AA worked before I installed the ROM. I was hoping that it would fail when connecting to the emulator so I could attempt to debug or capture some form of logs.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 41rw4lk:
My bet would be in the cable or usb settings. When I installed aosip I had trouble getting adb to recognize when my phone was in charge only mode. I know the name implies "charge only" but on stock I could still use adb. I ended up manually installing the adb driver in my device manager while in charge only... problem solved. I know that instance isn't your case, but check your usb settings in developer options, and try to toggle and connect through each one. Maybe you've tried all this, but close out the app, toggle, open, connect; or connect then toggle. I hope none of this sounds condescending, I just know that I had a usb hiccup when I first got setup. Everything else seems to be in order for you, so usb sounds the most logical. Good Luck.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] aztdaniel:
Not condescending at all. I'll give this a go. Just got done reinstalling the rom and also pantheon.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Koohara947:
So is this ROM still being updated with ota or are we just waiting on an update
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
I wouldn't know. I posted it with the permission of the developer. I did some beta testing for it, but prefer either invictrix or DU over AOSiP. Since we have DU and it's recent build fixes sprint LTE with no tom foolery workaround, turning it into my DD for a bit.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Koohara947:
Cheers for the quick response man. Question about DU, is it ready to be a DD? Like do all essential things work (WiFi, data, sound, etc?) Thanks again
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
It's a DD for me. I am not missing any features I use. Only issue I'm running into is the VoIP G711 codec doesn't work on phone speaker, but BT it does, so I just use that when using my soft phone.

Edit: yw. That's what happens when an OP sub's to their thread. Email notifications. :)
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] felipevsw:
I've just installed this ROM on my XT1789-05 (retbr) and it's working great so far! Wi-fi works, mobile data works, it didn't even loose my IMEI or anything :D!

I'll continue testing, installing my apps and all, and will continue testing and report back in case something goes wrong.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] felipevsw:
Do you know where I can download invictrix? I checked their site but couldn't find a link to download a build to nash...
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
I only have their beta release. I don't think they even have an RC yet. This was a test build from 03/04 so it doesn't have half the fixes these newer ROMs have.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] cervantesjc:
Are all of them having the same problem with installing Gapps? just asking because I really want to try a build with MicroG (I hope I don't get banned for mentioning it), but I have to wait until they actually do a build with it.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
Gapps has an issue with our device. We could do the wonky workaround the Pixel 2 has (flash ROM, flash twrp, reboot twrp to change to install slot and then flash gapps, but it barely works).
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] cervantesjc:
it kinda baffles me that nash being so similar to pixel 2 when it comes to hardware is so difficult to develop for.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
Because Motorola/Lenovo did a number on this phone. Ask [MENTION=4881555]jbats[/MENTION]. When both of us were updating the kernel to Linux stable when we had nougat, it seemed each linux-stable patch broke WiFi, encryption, or both. After we got aosp working, thanks to [MENTION=2385005]invisiblek[/MENTION], aosp took those security and performance commits like a champ. Its how Motorola coded their ROM and to some extent, firmware that makes this thing way different... Oh, then add in the greybus drivers for motomods and getting them to work. I wish I was at least half as good as the contributors mentioned in OP (all have helped somewhat in getting aosp working on this phone) .
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Josh McGrath:
Why not just go to the app store and download the Google apps individually from there? Sorry of it has been asked.

I'm getting my 3rd ? replacement in two weeks finally tomorrow and plan to flash this
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] aztdaniel:
you manually installed the adb driver to your phone or to your PC?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
You need gapps to get play store. AOSP doesn't have it or the GSF.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
To PC. Windows and adb 39 has odd issues (or 36? Haven't used windows ADB in awhile to remember, but I always got an error that my adb was outdated for the version this phone uses, nothing like that in Linux, ever).That's why I suggest Linux in all my guides... It... Just... Works...
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] cervantesjc:
And that's the reason I want to try the MicroG version of lineage, not depending of play services or gapps.

But I have to wait until there is a stable version for MicroG to be released.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] PhantomSoul:
How do I open up Moto Mods Manager?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 41rw4lk:
To my pc. On a stock rom there is no issue, but on a custom ron when you connect your phone to your pc in charge only mode, the pc sees the device an knows it's a MotoZ but doesn't know which driver to install. It tries to install some generic driver and the result is a device that needs drivers. You can see it in Devices and Printers, and you can also see it in your device manager. This isn't really a problem since the phone is in charge only mode and it will still charge in this state, but if you try to run and adb commands you can't since there are no drivers.

The solution was to plug your phone to your pc in charge only mode, go to device manager, and manually install moto adb driver. Now you can use adb commands while the phone is in charge only mode.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] felipevsw:

[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] shiftylock:
So far I love this ROM (considering my alternative was flashing back to stock using a questionable T-Mobile fw file, and I don't trust my windows comp as far as i can throw it) I would love to go back to stock tmo Oreo but I know we're having trouble getting those files (last time I checked)

Also, does anybody else have trouble checking what level their external battery packs are at? And for some reason the sound through the included usb-c/3.5mm adapter sounds muuuuch worse than before. Again, these are minor compared to having my rooted moto z2 randomly decide to update and break my baseband. Does anybody have a more... Foolproof way of testing the moto mod battery pack? I'm currently relying on the 4 LED's on the battery pack itself.

I can't seem to find the moto mod charge level. I also do miss seeing the ability to enable/disable the battery pack through the status bar menu. I cannot stress enough, however, that this ROM is fantastic and revived my phone from the worst bootloop situation (always bootlooped from start to finish the really loud stock hellomoto splash screen..) I'm also impressed with how streamlined this rom is. But any suggestions to improve audio quality or see the moto mod charging status are appreciated. Also being able to use my print scanner to log into banking apps would be nice, but I'm afraid of installing magisk hide again since I finally have a mostly working phone.

Currently using the T-Mobile moto z2 force USA -04 variant. I have .ab file backups of the full phone system starting from stock Oreo 8.0 to rooted 8.0 with magisk and some mods installed, but I don't know how to restore these files without also potentially compromising the AOSiP. My backups are all taken on a Kali Linux machine and I have about 40gb of backups. Yeekz.

If these files would be helpful I'll gladly share them. I pulled them through adb and would love to give back to improve the 8.0 + magisk, blokada, tasker, safetynet hide, etc experience I'm used to. I know its a stretch, but if there's something I can provide that will make returning to stock easier, let me know. I have both twrp backups of a fresh 8.0 tmo build and another of post-magisk but still vanilla. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you to the folks at AOSiP and let them know that I am at their disposal if any of my files would be of assistance. :D I'm no professional but I've been doing mobile dev work since the HTC Shadow for T-Mobile (feels ancient man)

Anyway, this is ultimately a THANK YOU post. Without your skillz I would have a very pretty yet useless brick that constantly reminded me of my hellomoto failure. :rolleyes:

I have backups up to the very latest OTA that hit and murdered my phone. I think it was the Feb update? Either way I didn't have a choice; if not for AOSiP I'd be SOL. Thank you!
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] skywalker-live:
Motorola released the official firmware files for all variants about a month ago, links are in the second post of this thread https://xdaforums.com/z2-force/how-to/how-to-return-to-stock-sprint-t3694783. Ignore the references to z2play in the link, these are the correct files for Z2force (Nash).

If you want to use Linux instead of windows copy/paste each line of the flashall.bat file into a terminal 1 at a time, or convert to flashall.sh. This will wipe everything, including internal SD.

My Tmo Shadow also brought me to xda all those years ago, it functioned so much better with the mods I did to it.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] shiftylock:
Thank you for the helpful info! I'm downloading the T-Mobile flash all. Is this the same as the Oreo flashall?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] skywalker-live:
It's the official 27.1 Oreo update that fixes the "messaging bug" that was introduced in the 27.0 update. I'm pretty sure the UNofficial flashall you're referring to is a combo of 27.0 with 27.1 parts to fix lost basebands. 27.1.2 is only by ota for now, but the description for it says it's only the March security updates. I may wait until Motorola releases the flashall, since /data seems to hold a flag of modified partitions even though I flashed every other partition back to stock. Seems to be a pain to have to resetup fresh after a full wipe flashall just to take a ota.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Infect_Ed:
Thanks all for the gracious thanks and stuff. I'll be putting up a new build in the next few days. Had some "life things" happen. I've mainly been focusing on Invictrix and getting it stable. I have the majority of MotoActions working, and keep my kernel up to date with linux-stable (currently on 4.4.131). I don't do "XDA" lol. That's why I'm not on much. I'll get some builds out soon. And I'll get a thread going for Invictrix too. Again thanks! I really appreciate it.

Hey, have you had any luck getting the moto Alexa speaker to work properly? I tried manually installing the moto Alexa apk but it crashes. Oddly enough my moto mod battery pack works just fine (aside from not showing my reserve battery levels. ) I have the Alexa mod, android studio, and relatively basic knowledge of android studio/AVD environments. If anybody has a suggestion, let me know. Otherwise I will check this out from my end. I'm guessing that there are some key moto mod files that are missing, which explains why the battery mod doesn't give any toast notifications when applied yet shows as a secondary charging device when the phone is powered off. I'll keep you updated with anything I can find :)

That's just overlays... Shouldn't be too hard to do. Not a priority of mine. But will look into it

Are you ****ing serious.... It's obviously something you did. I have had zero issues. Not one, not one other person has experienced what you did. Your bashes at me will get you banned quick. Watch your mouth. I don't tolerate ignorance and slander. I'll tag every mod I know and have you perma banned bro. Watch it.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] shiftylock:
Hey, I appreciate you looking into the overlays even if they aren't a priority. Honestly just being able to use my phone again is a godsend so I can live without my gaudy alexa speaker until you are able to find a solution. Again, let me know if I can help in any way. My phone is basically already a guinea pig (because of my own choices, and I am not immature enough to blame others for my own incompetence... ;)

I will do some work with the moto mods packages to are what I can find. So far, the moto Alexa app gives me a parsing error, which leads me to believe that its looking for something non-AOSiP. Whomp whomp. I'll keep checking it out.

We don't have access the audio drivers to correctly get it working. Speaker mod may never work. (Just setting expectations)

Seems like troubles for our phone start to flare up when rooting with any version after 16.0. I haven't skimmed all the way back, but you might try the magisk uninstaller, then root with 16.0 with no updates. Just throwing my two cents in.

Oh, [MENTION=7987739]Infect_Ed[/MENTION] builds a custom kernel (upstream and a few extra features like Pantheon has) during the build process. It makes it where the custom kernel won't have the motomods issue like Pantheon has. Still trying to build standalone with motomods functions... I am tagging Ed so he can explain the differences. Main thing I know is it's 4.4.131 (or higher if you're reading this from the future).

Only flash the boot image if you want an upstream kernel like DU has

when you say that DU is on RC, does that mean they have audio recording working on that ROM?, and if so where can I find the link.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
No, audio still has issues.

Edit: RC means it is a release candidate for the weeklies and stable branches. It has test patches to fix things. It doesn't mean it's stable. Weeklies and Stable branches would be more stable than an RC. The RC's are still stable but have the known bugs weeklies and stable has.

Hi,

I use a Kaiser which is an ORANGE France Kaiser.

Flashed it with the Htc Original French ROM (that i got from Htc website it self, but it is the same we could find everywhere with the right french Radio).

I have some phone call issues, especially when i'm at home : the guy i'm calling suddenly does not hear me anymore, for a few seconds. I often hear "sorry i don't hear you anymore... i don't hear anything, you're still there?" and i have to move around at home, sometimes near a window, until the other dude hears something.

My GF does not have any problem like this with her very old sagem phone. I sometimes get this problem in other places, at work etc... I live in a rather large town and recieve hsdpa at home which makes me think it is a problem with the phone itself.

Any idea about it ?

Try another ROM. You may have tried ROM not compatible with your device, or just may be a corrupt download. Or you may have an outdated firmware or TWRP version.

If we had more details, we might be able to tell why it failed. Do fastboot getvar all, and post the result (delete IMEI and serial number before posting).

Also post what TWRP version number. And what ROM (exact name, version number, etc.) you tried.
