Great Oreo...

I've installed this TWRP flashable stock-Oreo after LOS14.1. I´m very satisfied because of the georgous battery life. Only 3% during night (8h - LTE=on, WLAN&BT&GPS=off). When reading news for 10min., write some WA-messages and do some calls per day the batterylife lasts for 3 days easily.

Short question: I started with *OPPS28.85-16-6.zip an updated now with *OPPS28.85-19-4-2.zip. Is it true that there is no update of security-patch dated 1st Feb. 2019 ?

Can you tell me the method for fixing volte on cedric? I have lost my volte.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NZedPred:
Whatever you do, do not follow that guide or any other like it that involves flashing a persist partition. The persist partition is unique for each device, and flashing another will result in worse problems.

Anyway, normally flashing back to the stock rom is enough to get back volte. Have you tried that yet?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] achintyakv:
Not yet. But I will definitely try it after I repair my phone's usb port. Thank you so much. ?

So i flashed the flashable zip, then upgraded to lineage but fingerprint still does not work. have i missed a step? thanks
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NZedPred:
Does the Lineage rom you flashed use stock Nougat or stock Oreo blobs? (Might be a question for the maintainer). You might need to downgrade to stock Nougat first, and then install Lineage again - refer to the first post (sorry, the Dropbox link is no longer available, you'll have to use AFH link instead).
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bringonblink:
Yes i used the afh link to downgrade then flashed lineage 16

I flashed stock 8.1 from this https://xdaforums.com/g5/development/fastboot-cedricretail8-1-0opp28-85-19-4-t3930448 .

And now I have lost imei. What should I do? And i have not made any backups in the past.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] jonatas.matsunaga:
I'll try to explain with google translate.

I had the same problem with you, though, with another rom.

I solved the problem by going back to the previous rom, configuring everything again with fingerprint and PIN.

Then I removed everything, deleted my fingerprints and left without a PIN.

Then I did the flash of the rom I wanted and it worked.

In your case, you return to Lineage 14.1.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] topkee:
The problem is when i did go back, there was no option to set the fingerprint, nowhere, that's my issue

You need to flash stock nougat bootloader or modem via fastboot (not 100% sure which one of them) because oreo updates them and the new ones are not compatible anymore with nougat roms. After flashing it will appear again
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] topkee:
Where can i find that?

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

And if I flash custom oreo rom, fingerprint will work?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] cango123:
The latest stock nougat (NPPS25.137-93-2-5) is here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gkFH4avWRx-FD5G9t-oCdLuHx-TyC0y8

Download it and flash the bootloader.img with fastboot (fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img) and then check the settings if fingerprint sensor is back.. I think it won't work with a custom oreo rom because the custom roms use afaik 7.0 blobs.

There is no guarantee that it will work but I faced the same problem after updating from los 14.1 to soak oreo - it worked for me.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] topkee:
Will try this tomorrow, thank you so much for the help!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NZedPred:
Just a quick note, that these builds do not update the bootloader, so no need to flash that.

However, to also assist with going back to nougat, I have also provided a TWRP flashable build of nougat here:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=280563

This one updates the same partitions as the Oreo flashable, and will be safer than trying to select the right files from the fastboot zips.

Also, in case of issues with 4G, Volte, IMEI, there's another file called cedric-stock-nougat-persist-fix.zip, which will fix ownership of the persist folders.

[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NZedPred:
Re-read what I said. When you installed the TWRP Flashable Oreo zip file, it did not update the bootloader. The bootloader is whatever version you had before you installed this rom. If Lineage worked just before you installed this rom, then the bootloader is not an issue.

What may be an issue is things like the modem, or other partitions. In order to safely downgrade, flash the TWRP Flashable Nougat zip in my post. Then you can give Lineage 14 a try again.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] topkee:
No no, I mean, can i install linage os 14.1, and then install bootloader.img?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NZedPred:
OK, so your original post said that you were having problems with your fingerprint reader in Lineage 14, i.e. it wasn't available. One of the other posters suggested it may be because after flashing the Oreo rom it may have updated some partitions, including bootloader, and they are no longer compatible with Lineage 14. I have stated that the Oreo rom in this thread does not change the bootloader, it stays as-is. However, other partitions are updated, and if the other poster was correct, then you need to 'downgrade' those partitions. What I am saying is that the safest way of doing that is to use the Nougat rom that I posted a link to. After installing that, then you can go and try Lineage 14 again.

But to answer your question more directly, yes you can. I just don't know what you're trying to achieve from it, and I wouldn't recommend it without trying what I'm suggesting first.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] topkee:
Got it, so flash stock nougat from given link, then fastboot bootloader.img, and then lineage
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NZedPred:
1) Flash stock nougat from given link, reboot and test that your fingerprint reader works.

2) If it works, flash Lineage 14. Check that fingerprint reader still works.

You flashed via twrp? No issues with imei?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] cango123:
I am not sure but maybe he updated with official soak ota and just posted it here, I had the same behavior with soak ota and therefore I answered here. It is obvious (at least for me) that flashing the twrp flashable zip is not updating the bootloader but like I said, there is no other explanation for losing fingerprint functionality.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NZedPred:
He seems to be all sorted so that's the main thing now. Just a word of caution, as a general rule you don't want to downgrade the bootloader. Doing so can cause your device to be bricked.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] cango123:
No problem.. And regarding bootloader and downgrading - well I am not since yesterday here, I tested it for myself without problems and it was just an idea ;)

[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NZedPred:
It may be because DM Verity is enabled. I wasn't 100% sure if it was or not. They've changed where the fstab file is, and I couldn't see anything that would suggest it was enabled, but it may be that the setting is now in another file that I haven't found.

Should I go back to twrp 32 bit to install It? Or I can use the 64bit version?

Another question: I'm using a custom rom 64 bit based, can I flash it with a simple clear flash?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NZedPred:
DO NOT FOLLOW THAT GUIDE. It involves flashing a persist file of another device. Your persist file contains unique information that is needed to restore your IMEI, and you cannot use another device's persist.

Please Private Message me and tell me what problems you are having. A few of the posts above are confusing things, because of an issue of the build I made for Sanders (i.e. not Moto G5, which I had asked one user to just check first and rather than just asking me directly when there was a problem, has made a number of posts that are only going to confuse!).
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] dpws88:
Thanks

Just want to say that this worked great for me - I came from another Oreo ROM, and my 'persist' partition has different permissions to the ones listed in your other post (they are all things like oem_#### : oem_#### where # is a digit) but I still have 4g, imei, etc. It's great to be able to use the camera properly again for QR codes etc.!

Hi sorry if this has been asked in later questions in the thread, do you know whether flashing the Nougat zip here fixes the finger print issue? Thanks in advance
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] jason13v8:
Could you please edit and add? Nougat zip in original post? I used your flashable Nougat zip you shared in further comments, to fix the finger print scanner after using the soak 8.1.

I'm a bit of a Noob so before reading all the comments I found a post about loss of biometrics which means finger print scanner, and I went on to talk about adb and fastboot blah blah blah time wasted had I just read all the comments and found your flashable Nougat which fixed it.

Thank you for soak 8.1 I enjoyed! And thanks for Nougat zip for FP fix!

Cedric Oreo Soak test update OPP28-85-13 available

Hi all

The next soak test is available at this link here:

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903997519

Or alternately here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1mDQMnYdDbgfGdfmv4qHvfxjCJ4_f3l8P

I've made quite a few changes when compared to the previous one. I've brought across all of the bells and whistles that I do for my device (potter, G5 Plus), which means the following:

The Aroma Installer is now used - you can select or deselect many of the options below

Your EFS and Persist partitions are backed up

Optionally you can erase EFS - we found in the potter world that in some cases the EFS needed to be erased

Separate selections for system and firmware - by default you should keep both selected

Apply patches to disable dm-verity and forced encryption - recommended so that you can keep TWRP installed without needing Magisk

A couple of tweaks that may or may not work on cedric (but they do on potter)

Later on, I'll put in a FAQ post to cover off the other findings and issues that will be relevant to cedric.

Enjoy.

[MENTION=7346927]NZedPred[/MENTION] What does the Hal option camera mean in the aroma installer? Is it better to install it or not?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NZedPred:
That enables the camera 2 API, which provides some extra functionality that some camera apps can take advantage of. In Potter there were some special builds of gcam that many people used for example.

However, if you only ever use the stock camera, then it won't be necessary. Worst case it could cause some issues.

It's also possible to add this tweak just using a build prop editor and rebooting. Below is the line it adds

persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1

That's actually a good question. Short answer is yes and no :).

So you may receive OTA notifications, and you will be able to download the OTA files. However if you have TWRP installed they won't install. If you have stock recovery installed, then they may try to install but should fail (best case), worst case you'll get bricked).

Look at my Potter thread for more details.
