[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] NZedPred:
I wanted a device that was reasonably priced, close to stock, good developer community. I think I got that. So potter's not getting Pie? It wasn't promised, so there's no issue of 'trust' there. Oreo? Well OK that's late as anything. I did know at the time I bought it that Motorola was now slow to update. I bought mine around September last year, and was surprised when it auto-updated to I think the August patch. Since then, software updates have been patchy (pun intended).

Another consideration is in NZ, there's only a handful of open network phones available. Motorola, Oppo, Huawei, and you might find a few others if you're willing to go to parallel import shops etc. So with that in mind, it kinda makes the choice obvious for me. Nokia? In NZ they're network-specific, and on a network that I don't use. So yeah, I'll stick with Motorola. G6 Plus is available for us, which is a good thing. Although, I'll hang onto this for a couple of years, so I'd likely skip the Gen 6 motos.
[Other SmartWatches] martinkem:
Hi,

I am a bit intrigued by the Zeblaze Thor 4 and I was hoping you guys could help me out a bit. I was wondering if this Smartwatch was capable of running Android apps well, do apps generally recognise the circular screen and adjust their layout according or does it just show a rectangular shape?

If it's not too much to ask, can you please share a screenshot of the apps you use..

Thanks.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] EnderBoy898:
Hey, so I wanted to install a custom ROM (LineageOS 14.1) anyway, I found this site that was showing me how to but first i needed to unlock bootloader and install TWRP, i clicked on the steps for that and it brought me here:

https://devsjournal.com/how-to-root...to_unlock_Bootloader_of_Motorola_Moto_G4_Plus

I followed all the steps on that page, even installing the SuperSU, but this is where the problem began. After rebooting from installing SuperSU i was stuck on a black screen (not even backlight) and a white blinking LED light next to the fingerprint scanner. I began to look around for a fix and i found this site:

https://xdaforums.com/2015-moto-g/help/problem-boot-flashing-supersu-t3507127

I followed the steps but nothing worked. Then i tried this:

https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4/help/troubleshooting-twrp-boot-loop-ota-t3714325

but that still didn't work. Flashing a new ROM does not fix the problem, and it seems nothing will. I am able to get into the bootloader and I am also still able to get into TWRP but i can't boot into ROM. I need help.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] EnderBoy898:
I should have attached this before but here is a picture of the bootloader. After typing in all those command the only thing that changed was the yellow text that says Software status: Modified
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
1) What ROM are you trying to flash onto your device?

2)The issue here appears to be that you've rooted on the stock ROM - what those pages don't mention is that those steps only work for Marshmallow stock ROMs - attempting to root on the stock Motorola Nougat ROM may cause you to bootloop and you need a custom kernel to root on stock Nougat ROMs. One way around this may be to flash a custom kernel such as ElementalX 2.0.1 https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/kernel-elementalx-g4-0-01-t3424836 then attempt to boot. You can boot to TWRP, connect your device to your computer, which should show up as internal storage. There, you should be able to copy a download of the custom kernel to your device and flash through TWRP. If you made a backup before rooting, you could re-flash just the boot (kernel) partition to restore a clean stock kernel then attempt to flash the custom kernel and then root.

3)You could alternatively boot to TWRP and flash Lineage. You do not need root at all to flash custom ROMs - just an unlocked bootloader. Root for installing custom ROMs is unnecessary. Be aware to flash the Lineage build matching your TWRP (i.e. 32 bit Lineage if you're running the official TWRP or any other 32 bit TWRP recovery for athene, 64 bit Lineage only is flashable with the 64 bit TWRP, else you'll get an error 255 on flashing). As always, flashing a new custom ROM requires a /system, /data and /cache wipe at least - possibly an internal storage wipe, so back up to your computer or the cloud as necessary.

4)As for the modified status, that may have been from rooting on the stock kernel. That can disappear if you were to flash a stock OTA onto your device, but that would mean flashing the NPJ25.93-14.7 Sept 2017 security patch stock ROM (latest leak we have for XT1644 devices as far as I recall), and then taking OTA updates up to April 2018 which may be risky.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] EnderBoy898:
Yea i should have been more clear on what ROM i was trying to flash, i wanted to flash LineageOS but when i try to flash it and boot i still get the same problem, the led light just blinks over and over until i unplug the phone or go into the bootloader. Maybe i have the wrong version of something? All i know is that the phone was working perfectly fine before and it is the XT1644 model. It had all its updates up to date but i just wanted to install LineageOS, i do now realize that you don't need root to flash a custom ROM but also i don't know where to find files for the kernel you are talking about, I also did not make a backup (lets just say im pretty stupid and i know i should have). If you have any info or need any more to further assist me, let me know. Thank you for responding!
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] EnderBoy898:
So i tried flashing the custom kernel and it looked like everything was working, but the phone still won't boot, it just flashes the LED light, also i reinstalled LineageOS after wiping all the cache and internal storage and stuff but it still hasn't worked.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] blu422:
Okay so I'm sorry if this has already answered but I have done some extensive searching and haven't found anything that addresses this problem.

My t999 bootloops, it will go into download mode, won't go into recovery (I can get it to show the blue letters recovery booting but then the boot loop continues) so I flashed TWRP (by the way this was a stock phone, so I haven't rooted it or anything) and tried to boot into that and I can get it to the loading screen then the bootloop continues. I then tried an older version of TWRP (by the way I'm doing all this flashing through odin in download mode) and that didn't work either (and yes I am making sure to use the correct TWRP (d2tmo/t999)

I would just odin to stock but I need to salvage pictures and text messages from the phone (I am doing this for a friend). So I thought I would just flash TWRP do a nandroid backup and then transfer it to my computer and extract the photos and text messages from that.

I'm not sure what to do now, any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jack_Rickwood:
I have flashed android 8.0 with odin then flashed twrp with odin (making sure to disable auto reboot) and rebooted straight into twrp. I then flashed dm verity disabler and now i was able to boot back into my os. The problem is i am now unable to mount my data partition. I have tried formatting my data and this works, but whenever i boot back into my os and set up android, tge problem comes back. Can anyone help with this?

I've been stuck with 2 issues on this device :

1. I'm unable to remove the notifications by just sliding them as the usual process .

2. PIP mode was enabled by default for many apps likes youtube and chrome for 2 days, but now none of the apps are working in pip mode !

Team Win Recovery Project 3.x, or twrp3 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It's a full touch driven user interface no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

TWRP built for the 2015 Moto G / G turbo. It should work fine, but using it is a try at your own risk procedure. Your bootloader must be unlocked to use this recovery. Fastboot mode is used to flash or boot this recovery.

Flash through twrp or fastboot
