I'll try to gather more votes for this. But to be real, developers are too lazy to fix and add features since this is like an illegitimate child of Xiaomi and Google and they are more focused with MIUI phones.

Hey there. This is just an idea for the community to work together with:

Would it be possible to compare the NV info from both an unlocked (old IMEI) and locked (new IMEI) to see if that offers any backdoor for GSM abilities. I remember that turning out to be the key for the good 'ol xt907 using bptools mode and qpst.

I've been looking for my old unlocked e4, but it hasn't turned up. So I'm not able to do it myself. If anyone with a locked or unlocked wants to start looking into it, maybe there could be hope!?

I'd even be willing to repurchase a new one to get the NV info to help out. Thoughts?

Strange.

That is strange I had everything on stock rom for a while and then went over to Havoc OS.

1. TWRP

2. Install root.

3. Install xposed zip. !!NB Make sure to flash the zip for your device AND OS version.

4. IF that failes, flash root zip over xposed.

My steps of making it work:

TWRP

Magisk Root

Flash Soldier Rom

Flash AGFK KERNEL

re flash Magisk

From magisk modules load xposed SDK 26, install apk sugested from menu, then reboot and activate module.

Now you have a systemless working xposed.

Respected sir,

We Indian Honor 10 View users have a question to you, "Are we going to get updates for our phones or not?"

And personally saying, it's the first time I'm using Honor device and I'm quite happy with its performance.

I've used a lot of devices and have been active on many of the forums contributing to their respective development programmes.

But here, I'm kinda pissed seeing the threads that are only for the BKL-L04!

AREN'T WE BKL-L09 USERS HAVING THE SAME SPECS AS THEM?

We need an answer to this since you're their representative.

It's a humble request sir, we too want to see stable ROMS on this Indian variant!

PS : this isn't personal frustration or some kind of offence posting this thing! I'm just curious, that's all it is.

Do not take this personal and as a request instead.

Thanks,

INTENTIONALLY DOES

THIS GUIDE IS FOR FACTORY/STOCK ROMs -

NOT

YOUR AVERAGE CUSTOM ROM which may not have bootloaders!!! (thanks!!!!! [MENTION=7970352]echo92[/MENTION] )

FIX:

IF YOU ARE ABLE TO GET TO FASTBOOT THIS SHOULD WORK.

IF YOU HAVE 8.x bootloaders AND ARE DOWNGRADING TO 7, use "Alternative to RSDlite" below.

1 boot to win - 7 or 10 works fine.

2 boot phone to fastboot, and connect phone to computer.

3 start RSDlite

pick a ROM. I believe I used a 7.1.1 rom

3Nov9-ADDISON_NPNS26.118-22-2-8_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

RSDlite installed it and fixed the problem.

- -

I was then able to use RSDlite to install [MENTION=5750370]rafikowy[/MENTION] 's signed 8.0 . - going up from 7 to 8.

- -

- -

If you are on 8.x bootloaders and want to go to 7.x bootloaders, use this (RSDlite throws an error and stops):

ALTERNATIVE TO RSDlite:

1 I used 7zip to extract that 7.1.1 zip (or any ROM zip) into a folder x,

2 add all the adb and fastboot junk to folder x,

3 add the attached file (rename it to flash.bat) to folder x.

4 boot phone to fastboot and connect to computer.

5 click on flash.bat - it throws a lot of "slot" errors but works just fine.

6 reboot your phone if it hasn't already and go through the 7.x install stuffs.

7 you will not show an IMEI if you are coming from an 8.x bootloader. However, it IS there.

NOTE: you may need to add a line to the flash.bat if there are more/less sparsechunk's in your FACTORY/STOCK ROM...

THIS IS NOT FOR CUSTOM ROMs!!!!!!!

EDIT: 3-8-19: I just did this myself to go back very briefly to 7.1 - be sure you don't flash TWRP to it if your going to take OTAs - it will brick it. boot to TWRP if you need TWRP briefly: fastboot boot twrpimg.img

----------

If you can boot to fastboot screen, you can do anything.

Never OTA a ROM if you have modified recovery (TWRP, etc) or if magisk is present.

https://xdaforums.com/moto-z-play/h...p-flashing-t3813498/post77011495#post77011495

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
You may wish to advise users that if they downgrade to Nougat not to use Nougat OTA updates. The reason being that a downgraded stock Oreo device may still have the Oreo bootloader on it. Thus, attempting to use Nougat OTA updates may hard brick their device (as the bootloader is likely corrupted, meaning no fastboot).

Users could either use the Feb 2018 NPN26.118-22-2-17 firmware from your link https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/addison/official/RETAIL/ as that was the last Nougat firmware (and thus no Nougat OTA updates) or avoid using OTA updates whilst downgraded.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] KrisM22:
Interesting. I used the above GUIDE to go up and down a number of times on my phone (about 20 total) , installing and running on both 7 and 8, and then went down to a Nov 7.1.1 and let it ota all the way up to 8.0 and that is what I am using now. I found that when i used a factory zip, and the above procedure, it corrected the bootloaders to the appropriate version that i was flashing - either RSDlite or the more manual path which ignores the errors worked for me.

Using the above procedure , you get the correct bootloaders, which are in the zip.

Please correct me if i am wrong! :D
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
That's intriguing - we saw previously on Z Play that users downgrading their stock firmware (e.g. https://xdaforums.com/moto-z-play/help/hard-brick-moto-z-play-patch-abril-t3782927 )and then using OTA updates hard bricked their device (hence the number of users asking for a blankflash, as fastboot no longer works). I don't know if these users hard bricked by downgrading their firmware too far and then flashed an OTA radically different to their previous firmware, or whether it's a risk that's taken by any downgrading of firmware.

When you used fastboot, did you see any 'security downgrade errors' when you flashed the bootloader, and is your bootloader version now C180, as you've flashed the Oreo OTA?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] KrisM22:
YES - that's why I wrote these 3 guides - before, it was quite possible to wind up with a bootloader mix - esp depending on the zip you use! - factory/stock only!!!

I added a line to the guide saying that it is only intended to be used for the factory/stock zips as these have (I believe) the bootloaders appropriate to the ROM.

Many thanks for pursuing this! - I wonder if we'll have to exclude certain ROMs that are in the factory lists?????
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] KrisM22:
If you have TWRP (or I assume any custom recovery) present when you try to ota, it can download just fine and then reboot to the update. I had TWRP and wound up in a situation where my phone would only boot to twrp no matter what I flashed or restored. I booted phone to fastboot, RSDlite'ed that 11-09-17 factory zip and all was well. In that particular case I did not fully install 7.x but immediately RSDlite'ed rafikowy's 8.0 signed stock and went on with my testing. Since then I always boot to TWRP rather than intalling it and do my thing. (thanks [MENTION=4220470]jceballos[/MENTION] )

Sorry - since it throws a million errors I never look at it if it works.

The particular build I am on at the moment - is BL: C1.82

This one started from that Nov '17 build and ota'ed all the way to 8.0 Apr.

I root and unroot as needed per rafikowy's method but using a boot to TWRP - never an install TWRP.

I'll put up a new guide ref ota and recovery and brick.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
1) If you have TWRP, then using an OTA will fail - as you've not got stock recovery (and likely other modifications, including possibly a system partition set to read-write status). As you noted, having TWRP seems to cause a bootloop when rebooting - I'm not sure if the OTA sets a boot flag to stay in recovery until the update is completed. For the G4/Plus, there's a possible solution by wiping the misc partition but I don't know if there's a similar partition for Z Play devices: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4/help/troubleshooting-twrp-boot-loop-ota-t3714325

The only other solution I've seen is a clean flash of the stock ROM to get your device booting properly.

Booting to TWRP rather than flashing would mean your stock recovery is still present on your device. The only downside is if you need to make modifications, you'd need your computer to boot to TWRP.

2)BL C1.82 seems to be the bootloader provided by the Oreo April 2018 security patch update, so your device looks to be on the right bootloader. It's still curious that the Nov 2017 firmware worked whereas countless other 'factory' stock ROMs caused hard bricks when downgraded to and then OTA updates were installed.

As you mentioned, custom ROMs don't have bootloaders and thus don't care about your bootloader version usually (though I've seen some ROMs require a certain bootloader). However, stock ROMs and stock OTA updates do have bootloaders, which is why downgrading can be risky.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] KrisM22:
Downgrading is a piece of cake if you don't use RSDlite - it throws an error and stops. Using the bat file it can happily throw all the errors it wants and all I care is at the end I have what I want.

It does indeed change the entire environment when you bat file the zip contents. You can bat file to get from 8 to 7 and then use RSDlite to flash a different 7 OR 8 zip file. There is no resulting difference in whether you RSDlite it or bat file it - the bat file simply comes from the .xml file that is within the zip. There is very little or no difference between that among addison factory/stock zips. Other zips are different (custom ROMs.)

Grab any factory/stock zip for addison and expand it and you will see modems, bootloaders, indeed absolutely everything you would find on that phone if you went to a store and bought it. SupahCookie simply added a couple lock command lines because it was intended for folks who somehow thought that if phone was locked they could take it back to the store and get their money back. Or some such. I found that ATT folk didn't care if you were on CM or whatever if you just needed to swap SIMs or whatever.

I DON'T want to lock the phone as it prevents me from modifying forever. Oh yeah that reminds me I was going to post the obligatory guide (again) about how to flash a white boot logo so you don't get that message - it's still there LOL but since the font is in white, you can't see it.

I have a Moto Z2 Play and used this to get out of a rather sticky situation.. My IEMI shows 0 now and I'm curious if there's a way to fix this? Also, You say you've done OTA updates? My phone is telling my I have some, is it safe to try?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] KrisM22:
Thanks for feedback and great on success.

IMEI will show zero if using oreo, It will show again if using N. Remember that if you go from O to N you need to use the "Alternative to RSD" as RSD will simply throw an error and stop.

If you have TWRP and/or Magisk you must get rid of them before ota - if twrp present you will soft brick and have to do alternative again - flash a stock recovery. Simply uninstalling/flash magisk will probably not be enough - it will likely d/l but error part way through update. If you are sitting on rafikowy's stock oreo, and haven't modified it, you should be fine. I know Apr and June are out there. I flashed his stock 8.0 and took June fine. Z2 should be no different though of course I can't guarantee it :)

If you have success, let us know what you have done so others looking in will know. Thanks!

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Necrowr:
It had 7.1.1 stock. I rooted it, and then flashed Resurrection Remix (which was yes 8.1 I believe) and the upgraded bootloader. I then found out my service wouldn't work with that.. so I attempted to flash back to stock which gave me a flurry of issues.. eventually getting to nothing but fastboot working. Flashed back to working with your guide to 7.1.1

If it helps in in fastboot it tells me BL: C0.CD
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Custom ROMs won't usually update the bootloader (even if they are newer) as stock ROMs typically only have the bootloader firmware.

You could look into flashing the stock Oreo albus 8.0 ROM https://xdaforums.com/z2-play/how-to/fastboot-rom-oreo-retail-via-fastboot-t3786153 or the 8.0 June 2018 firmware https://xdaforums.com/z2-play/how-to/fastboot-rom-albusretail8-0-0opss27-76-t3822195 but please check that firmware has been released for your device variant.

I don't know if updating your baseband to stock Oreo formally may fix your IMEI issue.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] KrisM22:
"BL: C0.CD" even right after flashing that albus 7.1.1 using "alternative" above?

What happens if you flash one of the oreo roms from the links I gave you above?

Yeah, RR wouldn't change bootloaders... so you upgraded bootloaders independendently?- that could easily lead to a soft brick... -

I read RR on Z2 and it says nothing about bootloaders even though it says 8.1 based, so i wonder if it needs 7.x bootloaders? I did not read entire thread... :)

In a reverse, I would wonder if you put an 8 on there if you wouldn't see your IMEI. (On the Z if you flash 8 You won't see the IMEI until you return to 7.)(wondering if z2 is reversed)
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Necrowr:
Yes, right after flashing that is the BL that fastboot is showing me. I don't recall updating the bootloader so to speak, however RR did require an updated variant of twrp which I flashed 3.2.2 I believe to get (unsure if that would have changed the bootloader or not). I also tried flashing a stock Oreo (which you've stated stock Roms usually only have the bootloaders so maybe somewhere during this process I updated it?). I wish I had all the notes for what I did to give more precise information, but I'm in a position where I really need my phone so I kinda just panicked and started flashing things when my service wouldn't work.

I'm highly considering trying to run an OTA (though very afraid of bricking). - On a side note though, it wouldn't even tell me I had OTA's until I did the steps in the original post here (doing the different 7.1.1. and 8.0 flashes, it wouldn't ever tell me I had updates, and now it does).

*** Edit ***

Looks like I'm able to enter stock recovery, which makes me believe everything is stock at the moment.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] KrisM22:
If you flashed a stock O that would have changed bl to O, but doing the above with the stock 7.1.1 would have changed them back to N. No matter (other than academic) that you don't remember the path - flashing a stock anything reverts it to that point in time. However, IMEI may have been moved - don't know. It will likely show on EITHER 7.x or 8.x stock - just don't know which.

If you flash a stock 8.x from those links I gave you above, it should offer you ota, ASSUMING there are any at this point in time(Z has 2). Adding Magisk at any point seems to hose you for receiving any more ota's - don't understand why, even with magisk uninstall, so that would mean going back to the latest stock and losing what you have (which is why I try to take a TBPro and copy that backup to PC (because re-flashing 8.x stock will likely reset internal storage.).

yes, if you enter stock recovery, you are likely at stock, though you could reflash the latest 7 or 8 stock to be sure, depending on which you want to use as base. Since 8 is having security fixes released, I choose 8 and will likely have no more interest (no time!) in 7.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Necrowr:
So, ran the OTA and it was fine running the update and staying on N. I also downloaded the OTA for Oreo, when trying to update the recovery error'd out. It looked like the error said "Error in modem unexpected results" or something similar.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] KrisM22:
did it offer to let you d/l it again? you could try that.

However, there exist O stock zips in those links I gave you so you could just flash the latest...
