Confusingly, the US series of firmwares seemed to be on different update paths until recently, when Motorola wisely appeared to unify them. The US equivalent of the 33-11 Aug 2017 update for EU/Brazil (and India?), as you posted, was NPN25.137-83, which was a follow on from either NPNS25.137-33-5 (May 2017) or NPNS25.137-35-5 or NPN25.137.43-5 (depending on which US network you were on). Needless to say, it got messy with regards to firmware updates...

But yes, I concur with you that the NPNS25.137-93-10 firmware should be a safe bet (especially as it's currently the latest firmware we have available anyway).
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
It's a part of the nandroid backup.

persist.img is "persist" which contains data which shouldn't be changed after the device shipped, for example: calibration data of chips(wifi, bt, camera, etc.), certificates and other security related files. I heard it should contain the IMEI too but I'm not sure about that. You can't back it up with the official TWRP but with some unofficial versions, take a look here: https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/how-to/psa-efs-persist-t3807240

There are persist files uploaded here on XDA but it's a very hacky way as you have to use a file from the Moto G4 with side effects like yellowish photos.

Check the related threads.

Hmm sort of worried b/c im on att not sure if it makes a difference. Ill try and report back.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] NZedPred:
Just a correction to the above, Asia Pacific (retapac) uses the 93 series as well.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
Ok, thx for the info. So the 92-x firmware is only for India and Brazil.

Dont use if on any other carrier than verizon

Don't use this if you are not on verizon, I flashed this thinking it would fix some issues I was having with camera on my XT1687 and cricket wireless but now my imei is 0 and unrecoverable. If some on has a presist file and using cricket or att please share so I can see if that will help get LTE and IMEI back.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] vwfan511:
What firmware rom did you flash?

Did you follow guide and flash persist in TWRP that I linked to? Are you coming from custom Oreo rom?

When you flash back to stock from Oreo roms you will automatically lose IMEI and network connectivity.

Persist file is linked in first post :good::

https://www23.zippyshare.com/v/13MfpRhg/file.html

TWRP recovery needs to be flashed again after you flash the stock firmware.

You need to make an EFS backup in TWRP Recovery to create the EFS folder in your phone storage, after you finish flashing stock rom.

The persist.img backup needs to be restored in TWRP after you place it in your newly created EFS folder in your TWRP folder on phone storage.

Restore persist.img in TWRP after flashing stock firmware, you should not be flashing firmware only. Persist.img is what gives you your LTE network signal and IMEI back.

Let me know if you have further issues.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] tuxattack80:
Yep flashed presist file in link along with efs after rolling back to the firmware version you recommend, even went back to the the one prior to that after losing IMEI. Whatever I did screwed me up big time. Was able to get 3G back on stock but still no IMEI number. Really not sure what changed or went differently this time compared to other times that I've followed similar steps with no problems but whatever it was has caused me to lose 4G and IMEI completely without being able to recover it by flashing Oreo ROMs. Ohhh well I'll be keeping my eye out on deals at best buy now lol.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] vwfan511:
Try flashing Omni rom.. when I lost mine it wasn't working on other Oreo roms and PixelExperience was forceclosing nonstop, couldn't even get it to boot.

[URL="http://dl.omnirom.org/potter/"]http://dl.omnirom.org/potter/[/URL]

. My IMEI and 3g came back on Omni, then went back to stock and flashed persist..

Also make sure your TWRP is fully updated to 3.2.1.0, wipe cache dalvik...etc

Relocking bootloader may not be possible unless you're on the latest firmware, I haven't relocked mine yet.

I am waiting for official Oreo update to go ahead and try... you can try the relock commands with the latest OTA firmware file.. but I can't guarantee it will work.

I cant get the latest update NPNS25.137-93-8 do i need to lock my boot loader? it reboots then just gets an error and wont take
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
No need to lock your BL. Maybe something in your system or vendor partition has been changed?

Did you root your device?

If nothing helps you could flash the 93-4 firmware via fastboot. Or the also available 93-10 .
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] vonwap:
I have rooted previously but not this time, do you know what it means when the phone starts and the unlocked booloader screen comes up it, used to say "ID: n/a" now it says "ID: bad key" ever sense I lost my iemi from going to oreo back to stock.

and do you have to wipe your data each time you flash with fastboot? also every time I want to use TWRP I have to flash it again, does stock just delete it?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aitldev9:
My htc had slow charging issue. So i bought a 2.4A charger from other provider. i charged my phone 100% and after 2-3 hour suddenly phone restart automatic and stuck on reboot loop.. so i turn this phone off for couple of hour then try to turn on. It turned on and work fine. But The next day it falling into this same reboot loop problem and i applied the same method but this time phone rebooting like infinity. i try recovery and reset factory but nothing is working. when i clicked on recovery or reset factory it turn off and start reboot again and again. When i plug in any charger(HTC or other) red notification light turn on and phone show a red charging icon not green icon and after some second again phone turn on and start rebooting.

I already tried power, volume up/down all button combination.

Note: recovery and reset factory not working when pressed just rebooting device with white screen and htc logo.

It's not in the supported device listing.

Maybe in future it will, but I'm not look forward to it. If its related to DAC (hi-fi sound specifically) which is present in other variant then it is good for me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peter2451995:
Hello,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 running stock firmware, unrooted and bootloader locked. Ever since a few months ago, I've noticed my phone having some problems such as it randomly shutting off around 20%. Over time, this battery percentage increased until I essentially had to keep it plugged in to turn on. Now it will be at full charge, and still won't get past the Samsung Logo or if it does, it will restart in around 1-2 seconds after getting to the phone lock screen. During this time, the battery percentage is still fully charged and nothing else is abnormal. I noticed something else as well before it got to the state. If I was not connected to the internet the phone will not restart when it runs low on battery, but as soon as I do connect it restarts. I've considered getting a new battery, but is there anything else I can do for the time being?

Peter Wang

Edit: I managed to get it to turn on for longer than 5 seconds and turned on flight mode and now it does not turn off (while plugged in). I'm going to do a backup real quick.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarbleRye:
I have an Odyssey that currently has 57644 minutes before I can try another code combination. I would like to flash a new ROM on to it that would allow interop unlocking and let me get all the stuff I want off of it. Granted, that isn't a long time to wait to try again, but that is the tail end of a couple years of waiting. I wrote some possible codes down near to the time it got locked, but that is about all I have to go on and I'm not optimistic.

So, I connected the phone to my Windows 10 laptop and it was recognized (eventually.... had to do several soft resets of the phone). In Explorer, however, there was just an empty root directory showing up. I tried MBN_Creator but it also could not see a valid phone to flash to.

In Device Manager, I saw that only a generic (from 2006) USB/phone driver was installed. I have not been able to find a driver (Samsung or otherwise) that will install on Windows 10. I have tried a few on a WIndows 8 Pro system I have, but they also have not worked at showing any kind of file system on the phone. Is there something in the Windows Phone SDK that could be used?

I saw several references to being sure to use the original Samsung cable. I can't find that, but I tried one I did have along with borrowing a newer Samsung. The cable I have shows several folders on the borrowed Samsung (as does the cable my friend's using ... also not a Samsung cable), but neither cable works with the Odyssey.

I've tried soft resetting and power-cycling several times, but no dice.

I'm out of ideas, and would appreciate any insight you can give me.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarbleRye:
I stumbled across a 'fix' for the huge number of minutes which was to pull the SIM and reseat it. So, I gave that a try and it came back on with 1.2 million minutes. . not the result I was hoping for.

I repeated the reseat and it was back to the 57k and change.

On the off-chance that the directories would show up, I checked and still nothing.

Once, I got the confirmation pop-up on my laptop for access to photos on the phone, but that had be finished on the phone. It seems weird that I wouldn't have been prompted for that last night, or the other times I tried this morning.

Now I'm thinking what I saw last night with my friend's phone was solely due to one being locked and the other unlocked (so, user error and ignorance). I thought I remembered seeing things when locked and connected to my old computer. I guess I must have allowed access.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarbleRye:
From poring over the internet, it looks like what I want to do isn't possible and I'll just have to wait it out and hopefully guess right. If I'm wrong about having to wait, I'd appreciate being corrected.
[Android Apps and Games] MaikelAt:
Hi everyone!

First of all, I'd like to apologize in case I'm not posting this in the correct section of the forum.

That being said, let's get into this annoying problem I'm facing:

Recently mi s7 edge got the Oreo update and I decided to upgrade (shouldn't have done it) and here is when the issue started...

The way I like Whatsapp's notifications is the fallowing: no sound, no vibration and no pop up on screen.

The only thing I want is this: A simple icon on the status bar that indicates me every time I have a message

I don't want anything else, but what is above!

I have found no configuration to get whatsapp's notificacion the way I want it to be. On android 7.x it was as easy as this:

1: open notification bar

2: keep pressing any whatsapp notification for 2 second and select "importante level 3".

that was it!

Android 8 is way too different... I had to make something up; this is what I do to get it adjusted to the way I like:

importance level: "make sound" (so that it doesn't pop up on screen)

sound: silence (so that it doesn't make any sound)

up until that moment everything works fine, perfectly... BUT, after a period of time (I haven't counted it yet) the configuration I had just done goes away; it resets itself... and here is when I get so upset, feeling like I want to smash the phone and desintegrate it once and for all.

this is how it looks like after configuring it in the way I like:

and this is how it turns out:

Please! If you have anything that you think could help me out with this, leave it down below in a comment. No matter what, an app, an idea, whatever... leave it in a comment.

Thank y'all in advance!!

After flashing some custom roms and playing around with the phone, and booting to the Android Recovery, I've noticed at the bottom of the window this message;

I've seen lately that there is many new roms and kernels that are treble enabled

I want to know what are the advantages on treble roms and what makes them better tan normal ones
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] Stritdra:
Treble technology means separating system into two partitions. One for oems, one for Google. This enables Google to push updates to every phone. Without treble, Android phones only get updates when manufacturers decide so.

But for custom roms I dont think there are any adventages of treble. Also, to install treble roms, you need a treble supported recovery. And you can't revert back to miui with treble enabled recoveries AFAIK.

Performance or battery won't change between treble and non treble roms. Also most up to date roms only have treble version anyway.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers] snkmv:
What that guy above said except Google hasn't been developing any GSI for us to flash, that I am aware of anyway.

Treble support gives our device pretty much indefinite software support, a guarantee that Santoni will always recieve updates via the community-made GSI

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ted Wilcox:
I am using an unlocked, rooted Google Pixel 2 XL running Resurrection Remix. My device ran out of battery but when I turned it back on while charging, the system settings (touch sounds and ambient display) were slightly different. I attempted to login to Snapchat but was unable to. I read that this can be solved by un-rooting the phone and then re-rooting the phone. So, I decided this would be a good excuse to clean the phone and start from scratch and install a new ROM (crDroid). I downloaded the Android SDK tools and factory images to my Mac and extracted the factory images to the Android SDK tools folder. I have USB debugging enabled and everything goes fine until I attempt to run:

flash-all.sh

When I do this, I receive:

./flash-all.sh: line 17: fastboot: command not found

./flash-all.sh: line 18: fastboot: command not found

./flash-all.sh: line 20: fastboot: command not found

./flash-all.sh: line 21: fastboot: command not found

Looks to me like you're trying to do this in ADB (system). Try it again in the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ted Wilcox:
Unfortunately, I skipped ahead. I got the device back to stock Android and then attempted to re-install Resurrection Remix by flashing it through TWRP. I did this but it got stuck on bootloop. I then wiped the entire device through TWRP in the hopes of getting past the boot screen but now the device gets stuck on the regular Google animation and sideloading an OTA always ends in a system error. I can get the Lineage OS recovery screen but not the "stock" one when locking the bootloader. I can get the device in fastboot mode but I get messages saying that the device is corrupt and cannot be trusted to work properly.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] kaped31:
I can help out with Mac related questions. Easiest way to manage adb and fastboot on a Mac is to use homebrew - https://brew.sh

Install it by running this in your terminal or iTerm -

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Homebrew is basically a package manager for Mac. So obviously you then want to install all the android tools packages.( Android stuff moved from brew to brew cask)

so type in -

brew cask install android-platform-tools
brew cask install android-sdk

That should allow you to use fastboot and adb in any directory in your terminal :)

To update to the latest version of fastboot or adb run -

brew upgrade && brew cask upgrade

No need to download anything else :good:

Remove any unlock code to make it easier.

Boot to recovery. Go to Reboot -> Slot A

Reboot -> Slot B

Wipe -> Everything but Internal Storage

Still in TWRP -

Reboot -> Slot A

Boot to bootloader

run the ./flash-all.sh of the June factory image

That should get the OS up and running. Reboot to bootloader.

run the ./flash-all.sh of the June factory image

You can reboot to bootloader and change it back to A for good after that with fastboot --set-active=a

[Samsung Gear S3] nascar48:
So my gear s3 could barely last 8 hours just a week ago. Now I went through an entire day with it on and it is over 60 percent. I can only think of two things I changed:

1. I had a second gear s3 connected to my phone temporarily and connected back to my original gear s3.

2. I bought a non oem charger and am using that now instead of the oem charger.

Didn't change anything else, had previously tried factory resetting on the watch, uninstalling the app on my phone, none of that had fixed it. Strange, but one of those two things fixed the issue for me. Wondering if anyone else had some quirky experience too?
[Samsung Gear S3] d.jagadesh:
Non oem charger makes your watch to over heat and decreases the battery life. Try to use oem charger.
