If you're using xposed or substratum, any kind of apps like that then those can cause issues like force closes. So disable or uninstall them. You can also try a factory reset. As for your pc not recognizing your phone, make sure that your cable is good and that you're using a 2.0 direct port on your pc. 3.0+ ports and hubs can sometimes cause issues. Unplug your phone from your pc, uninstall the moto drivers and reboot, reinstall moto drivers, plug your phone into a 2.0 port directly on the motherboard and wait for the drivers to settle after recognition. Then reboot to bootloader mode and verify the connection by typing 'fastboot devices' w/o quotes, you should see your phone's serial and be good to go.

Did you fastboot -w? If so, what is the terminal output?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Gutto:
Yes fastboot-w

I did not understand how to do this. Flash the firmware with the .bat file. (See links below or on Post # 2)
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
Extract the firmware for your model (T-Mobile or sprint only supported right now.) From the zip in OP. Extract ZIP and run .bat while in bootloader.

Let me see if I got it. The Rom file I put inside the SD of the phone. I downloaded the Firmware from my operator (Sprint), extract it on the PC, and execute the file flashall.bat ....

[MENTION=4604067]Uzephi[/MENTION] after flashing the new firmware, I still have no service on tmobile, do I have to flash any specific firmware for T-mobile?

Actually I got it, I just needed to get the updated T-Mobile firmware and fixed my problems.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] wiswis:
I installed the rom fine but it changed the wrong recovery (from twrp to stock im assuming). Is this normal?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
Yes, you would need to flash twrp zip after install to not lose twrp. (Or you can boot twrp again and flash that way.)

I did the test of 4 different Rons, Lineage, Invictrix, Du-Nash and AOSiP, being the last versions.

Problems I had: None works Sprint LTE 4G (I do not know if I was informed about this error)

Camera: Some versions work 4k, but have no option Photo Mode Portrait, that photo that blur the background. Even installing the Moto Camera, it does not appear in the options.

All worked the Moto Projector
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
What does your APN show? What firmware? LTE works for me on the Oreo OTA firmware and the one linked in OP for lineage and DU.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Technical:
This stock recovery is in your "other" slot. Our phone has an a/b slot system. We do not have a recovery partition.

You should reflash TWRP just after the ROM, otherwise, you will lose it.

I strongly suggest reading guides (see signature) before you inadvertently soft brick your phone.

@Uzephi: who is compiling this ROM? Do they need help?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Gutto:
firmware XT1789-03_NASH_SPRINT_8.0.0_OCXS27.109-48-6

APN shows operator Sprint, but when I click on the manual options the error system, on all the Roms I have tested. Only the Rom du_nash-v12.3-20180629-0809, worked, but the camera does not work the auto focus in the Target application. Every product I scan, I have to close the application, and open again to the camera to be able to read the barcode.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 41rw4lk:
What you can do, if you're on stock now with root. Go to /etc folder in root and copy the apns-conf.xml to your sdcard. Then when you install a custom rom, just replace /etc/apns-conf.xml with the one from your sdcard. You'll probably need to reboot or at least toggle airplane mode for the new apns to take hold. Text scanner on custom roms was wonky last I knew and a known bug, kind of have to deal with it for the time being.

We have the same question....

Tried the Original Post #1 instructions...We went through the process of saving Firmware (kept getting "Invalid zip file format! Error installing zip file" message), ROM Zip file, and GApps (and tried w/o) to Internal Storage and doing a TWRP Bootup/Install...

Upon start-up, WiFi wasn't working (IP & MAC address "unavailable," SIM Card Not Found and no Mobile Network options (all grayed out)...

We're trying to run Verizon SIM on Sprint build of phone...

Lineage OS=doesn't work (booted up fine, but no data or calling)

Mokee 8.1=doesn't work (booted up fine, but couldn't read SIM card)

On to: Dirty Unicorns=doesn't work (booted up fine, but couldn't read SIM card)

AOSiP=doesn't work

Is the original build of the phone Sprint?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] SuperBrolySSJ:
Hello! I have a quick question. My Z2 Force is Stock, Rooted with TWRP and Magisk.

I rebooted to slot A and seen that I was on the September security patch of Oreo.

Slot B (my current active slot) is on the November security patch of Oreo.

With that being said, do I have to flash the November patch of Oreo to slot A before installing lineage, or since they are both on oreo, I can proceed to flash Lineage?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Infect_Ed:
No, you're good. As long as you have Oreo on both slots.

My apologies for necro posting.

I've got a t-mobile z2 force that I've unlocked the bootloader on a few months ago. It has more/less sat in a drawer ever since.

I currently have a LineageOS 16.0 nightly flashed on it (16.0-20190329-NIGHTLY-nash).

I was wondering if anyone's still using this ROM, and if there's any particular version that I should use (I'm assuming the latest is still operable?)

i havent got to use for anything other than making calls but with the weekend here I can test some things. But just using it for basic functionality this is what I got.

Newer kernel has the unlocked bootloader nag screen.

Changing wallpaper from long pressing the home screen crashes the launcher

Trying slow motion recording from camera crashes the camera app.

Ill try to run it through the ringer this weekend
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
Unlocked nag screen is because the firmware flashed a new logo.bin to the phone. Just flash the one that removes that warning and it'll be gone again.

As for slow motion, try the included moto camera app, not the aosp one. Slow motion works on it, just tried. I also trued replicating the other issue of launcher crashing with no luck. I was able to verify aosp camera crashes, but it does a different hook to slow motion than the moto camera which is suggested to use.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] :
I also get the launcher crashing on wallpaper change, but only on stock launcher. No issues with nova or Evie. XDA labs app auto updates the launcher which prevents it from crashing, and just returns a not installed error (screenshot attached).

[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
Yes, be sure you know who made the flash all. The ones [MENTION=3659125]joemossjr[/MENTION] posted in Post 2 are mine and his to prepare for AOSP ROMs specifically so you don't have to worry about slot swapping issues. (Npjohnson and invisiblek have a couple floating around as well) Just flash the right carrier firmware slot flasher and you'll be fine.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] champ784:
The only thing keeping me from using my Z2 force has been lack of custom ROMs (hard to give up when you still have your OnePlus devices lol) so I'll definitely be trying this out and will report any findings! :)

[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Maikeu Locatelli:
I have the same xt1789-05, i booted from both slots, and both have the same os, 8.0, the only difference is that i have your kernel in slot b and stock in slot A, and what i installed from TWRP is only on slot B.

Do you think that we can then flash AOSiP without this thing about firmware?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
When you go to bootloader, slot A and slot B must be the same rev number. If it is, follow instructions in OP minus the firmware flash. It is only there to make sure the bootloader, modem, etc are all the same on each slot. ROM/OEM/kernel doesn't matter as those will be overwritten with the rom flash.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mookiexl:
Does this rom include the fingerprint navigation feature to replace nav bar like stock? I went from thinking it was gimmicky to not being able to live without it.

So far, LOVING this ROM! Thanks for linking it!

Couple of bugs to report: when recording video with any camera app, audio seems to be nonexistent (figured this was somewhat known already). Also, if you have pocket detection on, it takes about 3-5 seconds for the phone to be able to unlock (not a huge deal... Just noticed) And maybe it's related, but face detection during phone calls takes a few seconds to kick in too

But obviously, this ROM isn't fully stable yet, so I can deal! I carry my mirrorless camera with me anyway! ??
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
Audio recording is a known issue. Sleep bug I haven't ran into yet, but I will try and replicate and give logs to the development team. New build came out today, check link in OP for download link.

It doesn't have it afaik
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 41rw4lk:
I finally got a chance to install this, and it's buttery smooth. I had no issues with install, and everything feels way less bloated now. The only thing I noticed, and I'm not sure if it's a bug or just how it is, but I was having a little trouble getting adb to recognize my device. I think I got it sorted now, but is it normal for adb not to recognize in charge only mode? The name would imply yes since it's charge only, but on stock adb would recognize no matter what. Either way, it's nit picking right now, but something I experienced. All in all, it's nice to have something decent to flash with real dev support.

For what it is worth, on stock I had wifi drops and the occasional reboot. Pretty damn annoying on a new phone with a factory setup. None of that with this rom, that's a win already.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] :
Not sure if this is an issue or user error... But my voicemail stopped working after install. Didn't notice until today, I had to missed messages. On the phone app I had to change "voicemail number" from *86 to my own number.

I'm on Sprint. This may be unrelated to the ROM but I'm throwing it out there for you guys to check your VM.

Still using this daily, thank you!!
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] cervantesjc:
Quick question, if we dirty update to the new build do we have to "fastboot -w"? Or we can just flash on top of the old build?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] :
I dirty flashed it with no issues. (I lost root but I just booted back into Twrp and flashed Magisk again).

Speaking of twrp, I reflashed it before booting. Not sure if that's necessary or not but just saying the steps I took.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
You do not need to fastboot -w. That is only needed when swapping from stock to AOSP. Only do it once, unless you go back to stock, then you need to fastboot -w at that second install of AOSP base.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sd_N:
I appreciate your experience. Been thinking about flashing this. You may have just nudged me. Lol. Thanks
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
On Ubuntu, it still works. Haven't tried on my windows box yet though...
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 41rw4lk:
I was a little curious about this, maybe you can dumb it down a little for me lol. This phone has two slots, kind of a dual boot setup right? Is one slot just a recovery slot, maybe like a fallback? When we flash the 27.1 prep zip, what are we installing to the two slots? Not that I want to, but say I wanted to flash Lineage or DU, would I need to wipe everything with fastboot -w, or is that only needed for stock to custom/custom to stock flashing.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
A/B slots are only for updating while in system and never having the worry of a brick because it will fail over to the older slot and, boom. No need to flash or go into recovery because of a no boot.

One slot is a different firmware, so the firmware zip prepares for in system updating with the A/B fail over working. I didn't flash both slots when I tested the first AOSiP release and it went to my other slot which was nougat and it was locked and I was in a very interesting brick. It is kind of hilarious thinking of it now.

Fastboot -w is because you need to do a real wipe on the data slot to boot AOSP.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Koohara947:

Does Hasselblad True Zoom work on this ROM?

---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

How to flash ROM? I have .img file and .zip file of ROM, so what should I do with them?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
The OP has instructions on how to flash. Follow them and if you're stuck then post which step is confusing
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Narco8:
Step "6. Flash rom" is confusing)

What should I do with .img file and .zip file of ROM and in which order? If I try to flash an .img file, TWRP asks me to select to which partition I want to flash it: Boot or System image. And if I try to flash a .zip file, I see an error.

Other steps is absolutely clear, but this I can't understand, because I have never tried to install a ROM in such way
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] 41rw4lk:
Step 6 is where you flash the aosip zip, no need for anything but that zip. Click install inside twrp, find aosip, swipe to flash.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
Airwalk is correct. I will reword that to include twrp to clear things up. Thanks for pointing this out
