Help with flashing custom rom/gsi issues

I was hoping that someone could possibly help out with an issue of flashing custom roms to my device. It's the MetroPCS variant of the Moto e5 play. The issue I'm having is when I try to flash the lineage os rom listed for this device, or any of the compatable gsi's for the device, the screen just lights up as though the backlight is on but no image during boot. It will just continue this way until I reboot the device. I was in the past able to load both lineage os 8.1 and some of the Android 9 gsi's no problem. I had an issue where I had to recover the phone back to factory and I did take an ota. The bootloader is still unlocked after the ota, but since then it seems like I've been having the booting issues with custom roms. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am having the same problem with same phone. I've been able to use RR, DESCENDANTS,AOSP EXTENDED. Now nothing I read somewhere that the Moto e5 plus was now able to flash 64 bit. Wonder if that has something to do with it
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] mikeshutte:
Flashing issues for moto e5 play

I figured out how to fix the flashing issues for the moto e5 play. Its due to taking the ota updates. Something breaks the firmware in regards to flashing custom roms/gsi's. You have to downgrade your firmware back to XT1921-3_JAMES_T_MPCS_8.0.0_OCP27.91-150_cid21_subsidy-MPCS_RSU_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml. Use rootjunky's motorola xml to batch script to convert it,then flash. this will break you data and voice. you are going to need a recent firmware to flash the modem back in. If you have any questions or need help, just send me a private message and I'll be more than happy to help you.
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] Pbsipher1:
Hey thanks for that info my device is Hannah though xt1924-7 think it's still same issue. And what about flashing 64 bit arm a only rooms told it's a must now but I've only been able to get lineage 16 64 bit to boot but no mobile data no others and I've tried alot
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] mikeshutte:
Yes it will work with your device as well. All the e5 variants are basically the same.

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------

Yes i believe you must flash the 64 now. As far as data issue just use the modem from a new firmware update(most recent if possible) and flash that, it should fix the issue.

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

Use these commands in fastboot mode to flash the modem. If you need an updated firmware, there are plenty of links here on xda for them. I downloaded the lenovo/motorola smart assistant and downloaded them thru that.
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] Pbsipher1:
Ok thank u I have that same software comes in handy only use to download the files I need and use fastboot to flash them
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] Pbsipher1:
that did not do it. i did figure it out i needed to update my apn settings. at least so far in aex rom

E5 Plus flashing US/International ROM onto China phone question

I'm an E5 noob, and I have a question :), so this appears to be the right thread. I didn't see the topic mentioned elsewhere, so I wanted to ask.

Background: I'm looking for a new smartphone for AT&T MVNO use so I want as many LTE bands as possible- I keep phones a long time. I looked at the G6 and G7, and it's disappointing Moto has reduced bands for the G7. Doing a lot of reading, I see the E5 Plus US/international version (1924-7) offers nearly every LTE band AT&T uses and it's a budget phone. Doing more reading on the series, I see there was a beefier (4/6GB ram and 64/128Gb storage) model sold in China, the 1929-9.

Question: Presuming I can find one, is it possible to flash the US/international ROM onto it, or are the radios completely different?

Thanks for any advice.
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] bubba1601:
It's mentioned elsewhere that Chinese devices with their own Chinese firmware will only work in China.

They don't run the normal almost pure Android of "normal" Motos.

They run a bloatwear full apparition of a firmware that looks like a cross between MiUi / Flyme and FunOS!

You cannot unlock the bootloader (To flash another rom)

And even if you did manage to unlock the bootloader and flash a new rom, the radio won't work in the US!

(I forget which E5 thread this is explained but it is explained here on XDA in another if the E5 threads)
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] NP08:
Thanks for replying. I'll keep looking for another phone.
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] bubba1601:
I'll suggest Nokia, my own E5 play is now dead and I've just got the Nokia 4.2.

Great device with 5.7' HD screen, octacore processor, pure stock pie, 32gb internal storage and 3bg ram.

Cost the same new in UK as the E5 did almost a year ago!
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] Gen5:
How can I intall TWRP on my t mobile e5 play and root it? I've read and tried the guide on installing TWRP and rooting, but it doesn't seem to work for me.

When I try to root my device after install TWRP (using magisk and the method on TWRP's site respectively), it doesn't work since the memory is encrypted. When I wipe data in TWRP, it states that it can't be decrypted sucessfully (this is after a going back to stock using the guide for returning to stock). I have unlocked the bootloader.

Hello.

I have somehow installed TWRP, LineageOS 7.1.2 and Magisk 16 on my Honor 9. My FRP got locked and I can no longer unlock it. Whenever I click Allow OEM unlocking in developer settings

the settings app crashes. I've tried factory resetting the phone, but no success. Is there a way I can remove the password completely from my phone. The phone is obviously rooted and I can access the root shell just fine.

If you could somehow help me that would be awesome. I am available mostly on Discord under the username: Perhaps. #0797 . If you don't want to get in touch with me trough Discord that's just fine.

I am unable to provide any kind of logs due to it not even appearing in the logs. I am however able to do logcats

3. Pixel master video n External sd not working ( footej working)

4.Tez working ?

5. Instagram and WhatsApp video working (video recording too) ?

6. Audio stored in device SD card not playing in most of the 3rd party players( including inbuilt ).Only playable through vlc and jetplus ( tested 3/4 players only ).

7. Recently downloaded files and recorded/captured video/pic takes some 15-30 secs to show proper filesize info.

8.WiFi/Bluetooth/VOLTE working fine ?

Note- Gapps flashed pico arm64 8.1

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nebell:
I have noticed that my important email has been compromised. I've seen logins from the US (I've never been in the US) and even parts of Sweden that I have not visited (and by a browser that I've never used, so it's not me).

I am really surprised by this considering I use 2-factor authentication on it and my Note 8 doesn't even have Google authenticator visible. It is installed but I've hid it and use it by going to app store and searching for it.

All my important websites are protected by 2-factor authenticator. Except for my phone. I have BitDefender antivirus but I am not sure if this is enough.

I need something really strong to protect my phone from people accessing it and its apps. Mainly a protection against keyloggers.

My phone is rooted if that makes any difference.

Also, I don't mind if it costs money. I will pay well for top notch protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
If it wasn't rooted I would just encrypt the sd card, make sure you have a good pattern/password and use Secure Folder for anything more sensitive. Between all that, bitdefender, and 2-factor authentication on accounts where possible, the only other thing I can think of is using a VPN when connecting to public wifi. Of course root breaks Knox though, so that changes things here for Secure Folder, etc. Maybe there are some other security apps you could use instead for sensitive stuff, as well as a firewall app, but root does run counter to maximum security.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] robmeik:
Rooted phone = lack of security!

As soon as a phone is rooted there is little security as all the inbuilt security (safe folder & knox) are gone and banking apps won't work!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nebell:
Thanks. I guess I already have enough security. I was baffled that my e-mail was compromised. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. I noticed no change to any of my files etc. But it does show suspicious logins from countries I have never been to.

Yeah thanks for the obvious pointer. But rooting a phone is a must. Also, all my banking apps work just fine. I am not dependant on Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ultramag69:
As was mentioned earlier, use a VPN when using the internet. It does protect your IP and is handy to get to content you can't access from your country..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
I assume you have already done this, but I would immediately change my password to that account (along with any other accounts that share the same password), even though you have rwo-factor authentication. Unless you logged in while on VPN or proxy, suspicious logins from other countries you haven't visited sounds like a red flag.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nebell:
I changed every important website to a password that is so hard to type I need to do it carefully every time. I got in contact with Fastmail (who btw is an awesome e-mail service, although paid) and they said that my phone is compromised.

Damnit.

I use my phone far more than my computers. They also suggested that I use a password manager but if my phone is compromised so easily then I probably am better off just getting better protection for my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Damn that really sucks...sorry yo hear that. Hmm at this point I would backup photos, etc, flash stock firmware, and start fresh. Be careful with what you reinstall, as one of those apps/mods may possibly be the culprit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sonhy:
[MENTION=3150503]Nebell[/MENTION] are you using sms to get your 2step-authentication code? maybe all your sms are being forwarded (via some malware app). You should be using a firewall if you are rooted.

Lots of apps have permission to access sms text messages and even send it.

Before i side load any apps, i use virustotal.com , go to website, upload APK file and if malware then install (if you must have it) but block it using firewall, any other red flags, then find another apk version or similar app.

Let Fastmail know of your breach and they can check which other devices or websites are registered/ linked to your account.

I suggest you backup your data, virus scan it all on a PC, wipe your android phone and start fresh. I use backup-your-mobile by Artur, to export my calendar, contacts, sms, call logs, etc. it works quite good.

good luck mate.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Nebell:
I think it might have been a false positive.

I reset my phone to factory settings and changed all passwords and suddenly "Ashburn US" login kept getting failed attempts on my email. But as soon as I reinstalled Edison Mail app and logged in, the success login from Ashburn US resumed.

It must somehow be connected to that app. I've sent a message to Edison and asked them if they are associated with that location. Maybe their server is located there or something, but I will wait and see what they reply before I take next action.

The fact that makes me believe this was a false positive is that I never noticed anyone reading my email or actually trying to do something, and I do have sensitive stuff in there.

What apps from telcel? I think some stores were going to sell the telcel version, but that version was unlocked.

I actually bought mine from amazon and came with a telcel sleeve over the box, but no telcel apps. My phone's bootloader says my software is "modified" which is really weird, and it doesn't have a recovery installed... WTF?

I think the telcel apps could have been installed when recovering a backup from your google account?

Though it is weird as **** that the software is custom in your phone, modified and mine, and I don't have a freaking recovery.

PS: don't buy from liverpool. Sometimes they add something in their page that you don't actually have and you end up waiting for months xD

How to stop the clock flashing when idle

Just got a G6 Plus. Whenever I press the power button to put the phone into standby, the screen shuts off as it should, but within seconds the clock flashes and the screen then switches off again. The phone then continues to do this every 20 seconds or so and it's driving me nuts. A quick Google shows posts relating to earlier versions of the phone which either say it's a Motorola thing you need to live with, or suggest switching off the Moto display setting. I can't find any such setting and have tried playing with notification settings but nothing works. I had a G4 and G5 and never had this issue before so find it hard to believe it's a Motorola thing. Any suggestions on how I can stop this? Thanks in advance.
