if you have the access to xt1921-3 can you please post this one for tmobile .thank you
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MotoJunkie01:
OK after checking it appears that I do not have firmware for the xt1921-3 at this time. However, I have no doubts that stock recovery from one of the other xt1921 variants should work on your device. To safely try this theory you will of course need an unlocked bootloader. Download the firmware for the xt1921-2, for example, and extract the recovery.img to your adb/fastboot directory on your PC. Connect your device and PC with a micro USB to USB sync/charge cable and boot your device into fastboot mode. Execute this command:

fastboot boot recovery.img

This will boot the stock recovery on your device without actually flashing the /recovery partition. If it works, you can of course flash it to your device by:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Moto E5 Cruise firmware you better change it, or I will show the file corruption every time I drag "system system.img_sparsechunk.3" to the computer.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] egoniasty:
:D MotoJunkie01 thank you you are life saver with your advise i was able to fix my phone i used cricked recovery and it boot up and its working once again thank you .
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MotoJunkie01:
Glad it worked [MENTION=5255135]egoniasty[/MENTION]. I've learned over the years that even on different carrier variants of the same device, the stock recoveries are typically the same.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MotoJunkie01:
OK so you're getting the error every time? I will download it again from the server on my end. Could be corrupted from my upload. Thanks for letting me know. I'll correct it ASAP
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] yosmokinman:
Thanks for your work MotoJunkie. Anything for the xt1921-1? Looks like the retail version, got it through xfinity. The bootloader was successfully unlocked.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MotoJunkie01:
Good to know. Yes I have xt1921-1 firmware but haven't had time yet to upload it.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] yosmokinman:
^Awesome! Don't wan't to mess with it until I can return to stock.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] exasperation:
That's great. I've got an XT1921-1 I'm looking to play around with soon, but need to be able to restore to stock :)
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] flameboy524:
Op i have same Phone XT1924-7 Metropcs Moto Plus with Finger sensor. But my situation is i try rooting phone and phone now wont startup, only thing working is fastboot :(
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MotoJunkie01:
Thanks for validating. On a positive note, fastboot mode is all you need to restore your device. I'd recommend flashing a retail stock firmware. Avoid sensitive partitions like bootloader, modem, fsg, and gpt.bin. Flash the boot and system files (and vendor), and see if that boots up the OS. No harm in trying that as long as you avoid sensitive partition flashing. Plus, that will leave your MetroPCS baseband (radio firmware) intact after the flash.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] theUsualSuspexx:
I'm not real familiar with moto products but im assuming the round recessed area with the Motorola "M" logo directly under the camera is the fingerprint scanner? Even according to the metro pcs website this phone has a fingerprint scanner. I've ran a couple device info apps and 2 said there was no fingerprint available and 2 said there was. There is simply no option to enable it anywhere in settings. I've been looking in the build props and everywhere for some mention of it, I've found races

traces of nfc but no fingerprint options except a build prop line referring to fingerprint locations which it shows as 1. Im kinda at a loss on this one. Phone is great otherwise
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] flameboy524:
I tried those steps but is no go, just goes to a black screen with no Moto Logo on bootup, i tried both Retails versions
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MotoJunkie01:
It'll require firmware for your variant it seems, in order to restore it. If I can locate firmware in the future I'll sure post it. In the meantime, you should post requests on a couple of the device threads requesting an owner of your variant to make system and boot image dumps and upload them. Those would restore your phone as well.

I have xt 1924-4 latam bought in brazil, with i flash the Retail Us, can it work? ( baseband m8917_21.24.05.68R hannah_latamdsds_cust / Product : hannah xt1924-4 16gb P3 / OPP27.91-122)
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MotoJunkie01:
Here is the exact firmware build for your device: OPP27.91-122, Baseband m8917_21.24.05.68R.

https://mega.nz/#!D4503azZ!4_Uw7hJOU4yH1-2VVhgrYLOeVyXFOlAaeA_m7VlVlwg

This is for the xt1924-3 but the build specs match your specs exactly. It will work.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] MotoJunkie01:
Flashing a stock firmware package, or installing a stock ROM, does not re-lock your bootloader. This guide should provide some guidance: https://www.androidinfotech.com/2018/01/relock-bootloader-moto-g5s-plus-devices.html This link discusses oem locking the Moto G5s Plus. Same concept on the Moto E5 series.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] theUsualSuspexx:
Hey [MENTION=6177016]flameboy524[/MENTION] I actually got myself in the same situation trying to find a round about way to sim unlock my phone. Fastboot the xt1924-7 at&t/cricket firmware [MENTION=7383447]MotoJunkie01[/MENTION] posted & your phone will boot up just fine...of course with the cricket splash and being referred to as the at&t version on the about phone setting. I didn't even need to set my apn to metro, it was ready to go on first boot and that's even why I had to flash new firmware to begin with...I fried the radio/modem to the point all I had for signal was the dread "X". Figured regardless of carrier the same specific phone model number had to work. So now I guess i technically have the only unlocked bootloader, fully rooted cricket moto e5 plus around lol maybe something to look into for you cricket/att guys stuck with a locked down phone/bootloader
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mercwithamouth22:
so I bought the amazon prime exclusive version of the moto e5 play which is apparently currently not rootable due to bootloader eligibility. I've been using

pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package>

and successfully removed around 40 apps of bloatware so far. was just wondering just in case anything happens as I remove more of the bloat which of these firmwares would work for me? its labeled as XT1921-2 and mentions at&t in baseband version but my phone has nothing about cricket on it anywhere
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisvrose:
Anyone has a working link for the xt1924-3 (ahannah) variant for the moto e5 plus?
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] gutguy:
So I thought I bricked my phone by trying to root it, then I used these guides to get it back together by using the sprint build (even though I'm on boost mobile). I've got the phone working and everything works well EXCEPT there is no sound! It works through bluetooth and headphones but not through the speaker. Does anyone have a speaker driver or something I need to install or is this another issue?
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] RootmyiPhone:
Does anyone have access to the Google Drive? I need the firmware for the Moto E5 Play Android Go (1920)

Also does anyone know if there is a working twrp for the version yet?

Thanks in advance.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Droidology101:
I did speak with the OP over at Android Central and was informed that because he has left XDA permanently the links will be inaccessible from now on.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] RootmyiPhone:
I looked everywhere and I cannot find the firmware for the Moto E5 play Go edition anywhere online. It sucks.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Droidology101:
I have the Go Edition as well. I'm looking for firmware, too. I have located a firmware package for the xt1920 series on easy-firmware.com. Unfortunately it appears that a fee is required to download from there.

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

The hardware drivers & blobs (including audio device drivers) are encompassed within the boot image. If re-flashing the stock boot.img doesn't fix things, try a clean install (wipe system, cache, dalvik & format userdata), and flash your firmware package again. I can confirm that the Sprint firmware build works for the Sprint subsidiaries (Boost Mobile & Virgin Mobile) as well as Sprint MVNOs (Ting, TextNow, Republic Wireless, FreedomPop, etc.).
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] cidxtc:
Like normal xda ****s up the important things we need.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Droidology101:
I've got some of these firmware packages. But I am brand new to XDA, so it'll take me a while to get established and get threads & links posted.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BrokenDevil:
Hey thanks my phone is working now properly

But i have a question if any official update will come can i able to update it with unlocked bootloader
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] cidxtc:
Yes you can update with unlocked bootloader. You must have stock recovery and no root. There is also a chance that bootloader will relock during update.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] vpllover:

I need the MetroPCS version if you have it. I'm currently using the cricket version to make my phone usable again. I have a TWRP backup of MetroPCS rooted but for some reason it just stopped working. Not sure why. I had it saved in 3 different places on SD card and computer so I don't think it got corrupted....
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] theUsualSuspexx:
Here's the link for the metro/tmo moto e5 plus xt1924-7 firmware. It will restore both (as in either/or) seeing how the rom actually comes with both sets of carrier bloatware installed. It just disables the carrier you aren't using.

---------- Post added at 06:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 AM ----------

Just posted the tmobile/metro version. Somehow the phone will know if it's metro or tmobile and enable that carriers apps. I have the same twrp issue. Regardless of what backup I use I always end up in a this phone is encrypted, your data is F'd off bootloop. The metro/tmo version of this phone seems a bit finicky compared to the other carriers. Mine decided just not to have a working fingerprint sensor straight out of the box

I wanna ask u 2 question

1. Is there is any possibility to get my phone hard with while updating (in unlocked bootloader

2.can i reunlock the bootloader ???
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] cidxtc:
1. Watch porn! Lol. I am going to guess you are saying bricked. The only way it would brick is if their was a power failure during the update and even then I doubt it would brick.

2. If the update locked the bootloader it would be because the carrier wanted it locked. That normally wont happen but it will only take you using the unlock code you got from Motorola.

odd, that gpt.bin was the only one that failed for me, phone still wouldn't boot passed the motorola logo though, and if i flashed no-verity boot over it, it'll go to the moto logo this time with animation and switch to the metro logo but then goes back and fourth like a bootloop but only looping between logos

wow, i got it to work somehow, i flashed only a few things, and didn't do anything in order lol, first i flashed system image with magisks, then i flashed sparsechunks 0-4, then bootloader, boot then oem and vendor, literally all i did fastboot reboot, and wow.

you lose root, and from what it seems -also the ability to re-root the same way, no matter what boot i flash, no verity or one patched with magisks, itll go back to that same semi bootloop
