I'm uploading a firmware package now for the xt1920 Android Go Edition Moto E5 Play. I assume you know how to use RSD Lite or fastboot. In any event I will post the link shortly.

Android 8.1.0 (Android Go)

xt1920 Moto E5 Play (Go Edition Series) Only

Build No. OPG28.54-19

System Version: 28.11.23.pettyl.retail.en.US

Patch Level: July 1, 2018

Link: https://mega.nz/#!6u4BQIZQ!TlxvRzhaWeKNxtXWHgMAYXTSQrpgYm1ftkOHEYOQWTc

See the instructions in the OP for general guidance on flashing this firmware. If your brick is due to your kernel as you stated, then flashing only the kernel (boot.img) from the firmware package may fix your device.

Let me know if this package works, so that I have an idea as to multi-compatibility.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Droidology101:
I have some Moto E5 Plus firmwares. Leave a comment for which variant you have and I'll upload and post links if I have firmware for the requested variant.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] diaconu.silviu:
Thank you very much, you saved me :highfive: ! I tried the first post method with fastboot flash but didn't work, something whit "bad key signature" on boot img. Whit rdslite 6.2.4 everything went perfectly! I will continue to test and come back with details....!

Once again, thank you very much!

I hunted around and finally found the stock 8.0 firmware for the xt1921-5. I wasn't going to start flashing lineage gsi stuff without two back up routes back. So Sprint/boost/virgin folks here you go.

I don't mind hosting anything on our Teleteam Sprint Note 5 Android file host account. I joined the moto e5 telegram group someone here set up so shoot me stuff over you need hosted.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=254067

The boost e5 play is great. Rocking the pixel experience with data and all that. Good stuff.

[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Droidology101:
Welcome. By the way, the "bad key" error in fastboot, when flashing boot.img and recovery.img, is completely normal, and has no negative affect with respect to the firmware installation. Both the "Bad Key" and "N/A" error notifications are due to the unlocked state of the bootloader. However, these errors do not prevent successful firmware installation and, again, have no negative affect regarding installation or the functionality of the Android OS itself.

I'm desperate for a download link to the "XT1944-6 Moto E5 Dual SIM Retail (Nora)" firmware.

If anyone has a copy and can assist I'd be very grateful...

---------- Post added at 03:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 AM ----------

Do you think that I could use that version firmware on my XT1944-6 model phone?

I'd be happy with just the XT1944-6 boot.img file to try and fix my phone, if anyone has it...

Is there any way to remove force encryption ??? Because i wanna flash magisk in my phone i am using moto E5 PLUS XT 1924 -3 INDIAN RETAIL
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] lin_ux:
A very kind person sent me a copy of the boot.img file for my XT1944-6 device, I'd hoped that this would solve my problems, but sadly when I flash it I get an error saying "(bootloader) Image signed with key bad key" and after a reboot the device just sits at the first blue boot screen Motorola logo, refusing to boot further.

So if anyone has a copy of the full firmware for this device PLEASE send me a link so that I can download it.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] DevGurl1989:
The "bad key" error is 100% normal and will occur on any boot.img or recovery.img that you flash with the bootloader in an unlocked state. However, this has no negative affect whatsoever. If, after flashing the boot.img I PMed you, your device still does not boot up, try flashing the latest Magisk (stable or beta) systemless root installer, after you flash the boot.img file.

If your device still fails to boot, let me know and I'll get you the entire firmware package for the xt1944-6.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] r.dunne:
A bit confused.

I have a Boost XT1924-8. I would like to root it. I know this isn't a rooting thread but I would like to have a stock ROM for it first. I've read this entire thread and it seems that the OP is gone and the links have been nullified. There isn't one specifically for my variant anyway but I'm just a bit curious and at the same time skeptical about what to do now. My device is untouched as of yet so I am wondering if there's any way I can help out. I'm not super experienced with this stuff but I can figure things out pretty quickly most of the time. I have rooted phones in the past but that's about it and also not in quite some time. Also never a Motorola, only Samsung and LG back in the days before they got all weird. I tried to do it to a new S4. I got the first one from US Cellular back east and it worked but when I moved to Colorado, it wouldn't work here so I went to cricket and got the same phone through them and found out it was way too difficult at the time to do it because of a KNOX counter or some bs like that. Anyway, not sure what's up with this thread or any of the members, current or not, but in reading the thread on its entirety, I'm under the impression that a version of mine is needed so if anyone cares to clarify and/or explain to me what to do and how to do it without getting into any kind of trouble or causing any drama, I'd be willing to help with this.

If not, a point in the right direction as to how I can get my phone rooted would be much appreciated. I would of course also need to find the stock backup for mine first. As I mentioned, I've rooted phones before but not for a few years so I'm probably a bit rusty and also this is my current working phone so that's why I'm a little hesitant to mess around at all but I may have a way to get another phone so I'll be able to mess around with this one.

Any info/input is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance for any and all. Have a great time modding in the meantime.

[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] lin_ux:
=====================

Thank you again for your assistance!

I'm aware of the "bad key" notification, after unlocking my bootloader this was showing and the system booted up fine.

My problem occurred after I tried to patch the boot image with Magisk, but I didn't have the correct firmware version file to work on, in one of the XDA threads someone mentioned that all of the XT1944 versions were very similar and the boot.img files should work across versions, but obviously that didn't happen for me when I used the XT1944-4 version.

After I flashed the patched boot.img from XT1944-4 version it gave an N/A error, the system now just hangs once it reaches the first boot image logo screen, it will not proceed further. I had hoped that flashing the correct version XT1944-6 boot.img file for my device would get me going again but unfortunately it made no difference.

Unfortunately I don't have TWRP Recovery installed, and as I can't get into the system I'm stuck.

I read your post re flashing the latest Magisk (stable or beta) systemless root installer, but I can't figure out how I could do that without TWRP, or installing the APK on the device once it had booted, but I fear that neither of these are an option I can take.

Many thanks for taking the time to assist...!!!

[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] AesopRock127:
Wish i had better news for you but your phones codename is PettyL correct? Motorola has not officially released this variants stock firmware as far as i know.... you might find a leak but not likely. Check here https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=279603 because it will be posted here shortly after it gets officially released i believe.... The imei and baseband are both showing as unknown? or 0? this happened to me when i mistakely flashed a boot image from another device.... did you do that as well? you might be able to flash some files from someones pettyl thats still in stock condition since there is a twrp floating around for this phone, if they are kind enough to boot the twrp instead of flashing it and pulling the partitions you may get somewhere but im not 100% on that. I wish you luck friend.

I have the right firmware currently, but it's the one I linked earlier that's only available for the price of £4 ($5)

The other firmware listed by someone else although free is for "TESCO_GB" devices which then lock the device to the TESCO UK (which uses the O2 network)

My own firmware is "RETAIL_GB"

I've removed the links as I do not want to cause any offence or get into trouble :crying:

I cant find a link to the UK "retail_gb" XT1920-15 PETTYL E5 Play device firmware that does not charge for the download or charge a subscription to download.

The free firmwares linked here are for the EE and O2 network devices that unfortunately do not work on SIM unlocked devices - tried and they will not accept my sim (Simply - Three UK)

My device is SIM unlocked, so EE or Tesco firmware isn't any good to me.

I think it's very bad that UK and Ireland E5 play users are being charged to download their firmware, but my device is less than 2 months old and I needed my stock firmware after I messed up flashing a gsi.

It's my personal belief that after purchasing and using Nokia and Motorola devices in the last 6 months that these two OEMs care very little about their customers and support is non existent.

Also I've found project treble to be a huge pain in the backside that is fraught with problems and can easily mess up devices - there are several twrp versions listed for the E5 play that don't work, there are several GSis listed that don't work on some E5 variants and there's even twrp back ups for the PETTYL posted here that infineitly bootloop......not ideal if your stock firmware is not available unless you have to pay for the privelidge of downloading it :(
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] bubba1601:
You haven't put the correct fastboot commands in, they are all wrong, look at them very closely.

Fastboot flash recovery boot.img is not correct, you typed "recovery" in almost every command, that's not unfortunately correct and why it doesn't work ......

The correct commands should be "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Or

Fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

Or

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.

You should not be trying to "boot" recovery in fastboot, it's not needed to reflash stock and you cannot flash stock via twrp unless you have a twrp back up, which I assume you dont.?

I'll screen shot the correct commands for you in the next post.

Please copy and type them word for word in the order they appear, do not deviate or change the order or it WILL fail again......
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] bubba1601:
You haven't input the fast boot commands correctly.

You need to extract the firmware to a folder android n you pc (I used download) open your adb / fastboot terminal in the extracted firmware folder.

Power on + vol down to bootloader

Connect E5 to PC via cable.

Type fastboot devices (to check connection)

Now take a look at my screen shot, and input exactly what it says, one at a time in the order as they appear.

Do not change anything or the order the commands appear, as it will not work.

Your firmware will then flash (I reflashed mine yesterday using those commands) everything working fine.

I'm sorry but I have no idea where your problem is - I have no idea how to fix your problems, but have you considered that sigma may have broken your device?

Why did you unlock it?

Tesco phones take O2 network Sims from O2 themselves, Giff Gaff, Lyca, Sky Mobile, Talk Talk Mobile and Tesco themselves of course......
