In an effort to get VoLTE working (IMS registration wasn't working) I used this to go back to stock Oreo from AEX Pie.

I get no signal. Phone info page shows radio off. If I turn on, exit, and go back it's off again.

System I fo shows my IMEI amd phone number correctly, just no signal. Not 1xRTT, not EVDO, not LTE data, nothing.

Any thoughts on why the radio would be off or how to fix it?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NZedPred:
Refer to the FAQ second post, IMEI but no signal on soak test 2 or later. See it that helps.

I should also add, if that works, do you have a backup of your persist from when things were working? You may need to restore it.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ST Dog:
I have the backup that the installed made plus full backups from TWRP before I started this, and back when I first installed AEX (over a year ago).

I may not have erased EFS when I installed (it wad getting late and don't remember for sure).

I'll get back to you. Glad to see you're still around. So many potter devs aren't.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] ST Dog:
Ok, tried just erasing modemst1 and 2. No go.

Restored persist/EFS backup and radio works including VoLTE.

Tried a few 3rd part ROMs and non give VoLTE. Back to stock (made sure it erased EFS) and had to flash persist again.

Weird that that I had to flash persist again. Need to go back through all the persist threads and see if I can gain some insight.

I may end up using stock if I can't get VoLTE working on 9 or 10 based ROMs. Reall would like a newer ROM though.

I really need VoLTE as CDMA/1xRTT signal is very weak in the house. Not to mention the annoyance of no data during a call.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Rutambh:
Can You tell me the install process?

I am currently on Stock 8.1 but no Volte, I tried as you said in your Post of "Fix Persist" but still I didn't get the Volte,

I also flashed Nougat stock but I didn't get it in that either!

Should I flash this 8.1 flashable Rom directly or I should flash nougat rom first and then 8.1?

Hi everyone! Didn't know where to post this so I guess I'll make a comment here, if there's any problem let me know.

Today (November 26) I received an official update on my phone (really wasn't expecting it) and didn't find anyone talking about the update.

Update version OPS28.85-17-6-3, so just a small update over OPS28.85-17-6-2

The "changelog" included with the update says the following (translating from portuguese).

Stability improvements: includes alterations that fix errors and optimizes the stability of your device.

Working great

Yesterday I was on resurrection remix 7.2, an decided to install this rom because I didn't wanted to wait any more to try Oreo. First I did a backup, then a full wipe and flashed the stock nougat 7.0 RetLA from NZedPred an then flashed the latest Oreo zip, that way didn't lost my IMEI and the dual SIM is working perfectly with both Telcel and at&t carriers. So far is working so good, I love it, I was getting only 4 hours of screen time wit the previous rom, and now I'm already past 4 hours and still have 60% battery left :laugh: this is amazing, also the animations are silk smooth and Motorola added various interesting features, this is the best rom I have ever tryed in my phone, makes it even better than new. Thanks to the developers and people who make this possible. Greetings from Mexico!
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rjherms:
Answered my question about doing just the thing you did

So you just Flash nougat flashable then this Oreo flashable. That's it? Is camera better vs nougat?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] zepey18:
Yup, just that, I updated TWRP to the latest version, did data wipe before flashing nougat, then turned on the phone and did the initial configuration just to see if the phone still had signal after downgrading from Resurrection remix, then went to TWRP again, another wipe and flashed Oreo successfully.

I haven't tested the camera too much, but seems to be slightly better.

Magisk issue

Guys just to complete this issue, I eventfully got it to boot. I was having a lot of problems with magisk in nougat. MagiskManager kept crashing and Magiskhide kept disappearing. I flashed magisk uninstaller and magisk 16.7 and now it boots perfectly. I suspect some of the modules and magiskhide may have corrupted the previous nougat installation.

Anyone experienced loss of albums in Google Photos or any other gallery app such as simple gallery? Looks like the apps do not read the entire album collection of the phone.

[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] luizlee86:
Hey, sorry for asking, but I fully read this thread and just wanna be sure of what I'm doing...

I'm on Nougat NPNS25.137-92-10, with unlocked bootloader and root.

Can I just backup efs and dirty flash the soak test #3?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rjherms:
Did you flash the owner fix for nougat before you flashed oreo?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] zepey18:
Nope, I didn't.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NZedPred:
Backup persist and efs. Whilst the soak test is not for your region (assuming you are on either retin or retla, given you are on 92-10 at the moment), other people have reported that they have been able to install it and use it.

The ownership fix is only required for Nougat if you've been on an Oreo rom. Oreo roms change the ownership of the key files on every boot, Nougat doesn't.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] luizlee86:
Hm... maybe a stupid question, but this is related to the modem or the device model? Cause I'm actually in Brazil but bought my phone in the US.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] jaibol995:
Guys do you have the device certified in playstore?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NZedPred:
It's a good question actually. It depends on the channel you're on. Under about phone in your settings, you'll see the software channel. I'm my example it's retapac.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NZedPred:
Yes, certified.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rjherms:
Im on p.e. So then I need to flash nougat . Then the owner patch then the flashable Oreo correct?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] luizlee86:
Oh, so yeah, I'm on retus as well

I dont wanna be annoying, just backed up efs... but how do I backup persist?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NZedPred:
If you're just going onto flashable stock Oreo then no need for ownership fix or nougat. Just go straight to oreo (after backing up).
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NZedPred:
Find the official TWRP thread and in the last or second to last page you'll find a download that gtrcraft has made, which includes the persist backup and crypto among other updates.

[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] spandy992:
Installed soak 3 yesterday. Though I saw comments about version not for India (Retin) , but mine is showing Retin.

And its a stable rom I think this would be the final release I didnt find even a single bug, doesn't feel like a soak test build.

Thanks a ton to the developer.

Edit - I didnt lose my imei and volte.

Hi I am currently in Debloated naugot rom.So if I have to flash soak.i need to dirty flash and restore my efs and persist?.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] luizlee86:
Same as me

What I did was:

1) Install custom TWRP mentioned by OP above

2) Backup persist and efs

3) Flash soak test #3

4) And everything went well except that I tried to flash latest xposed beta and got a bootloop and here I did a mistake flashing the framework unninstaller for an older version which I realized just when I was reflashing the rom again (since the bootloop was still happening)

5) Then, on the second boot, the IMEI and everything was gone, but I dont know when exactly this happened, after the first installation or after the second time... but what I did was restore the backup from TWRP and, after booting into system (when there was an IMEI under IMEI information but everything appeared as "unknown" under SIM status) I rebooted the phone and now I think everything is ok... except that my signal is very worse than on Nougat, but Im still looking into it)

Sorry for the bad english, hope you understood lol

You must have flashed a persist that wasn't your own? This is what happened to me anyway.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] TheGameExtreme:
That happened to me too, I installed 3rd soak test and everything was fine but after the first reboot there was no signal at all, but my IMEI was still there, so I went to TWRP and did a cache wipe, that fixed the signal and now it's working very well

Aroma installer for Soak Test 3 now available

Hi everyone

As hinted at a couple of posts ago, I have been working on an Aroma installer for the rom. For those unfamiliar with the Aroma installer, in simplistic terms it is a GUI for installing roms. Most importantly, it allows a user to pick and choose what features they want. In this case, I have separated out the install into the following:

Do backups - this does the 'dd backups' of the persist and modemst1/2 partitions.

Erase EFS - erases EFS on install. If you know that your persist is compromised, or you are otherwise paranoid about losing IMEI, deselect this option.

Install Firmware - updates the partitions that are relating to signal and other hardware (dsp, fsg, modem).

Install System - updates the boot, system and oem partitions.

Apply Patches - if Install System is selected, this will use a modified boot image to disable dm-verity, and write a modified fstab (filesystem table) to disable forced encryption.

Here's a link:

twrp-flashable-potter-OPS28.85-10-aroma.zip

If you've already downloaded soak test 3 and are quite happy with how it installs (i.e. all partitions, patched boot and fstab, erase EFS), then there's no need to download this. However if you want to be able to do some of the customisations above, then give it a try. Also, if you haven't yet tried soak test 3, you may as well download this version.

Enjoy.

Aroma installer for Soak Test 1

It seems that a few people are still using Soak Test 1, judging by the number of downloads it's still getting. Given this, I've decided to also create an Aroma Installer for it (edit: and correctly implement patching of the boot and fstab to disable dm-verity and forced encryption, but only if selected). To those reading this post, keep in mind it is NOT the latest - Soak Test 3 is the latest. Both links are below for reference in any case. (And I won't bother with an Aroma Installer for Soak Test 2, as people seem to be going for either 1 or 3.)

Now I admit I'm not fully up on dm-verity. I know what it is but why would you want to disable it?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] kdt09:
So, what is the different about first leaked soak test (78-2) and the last (78-10)? I'm using 78-2. Should i update?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fivefour:
The latest is on August 1 security patch level, also I know a bug in the gallery is fixed.

Motorola doesn't say what is fixed, they just say bugs.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NZedPred:
Probably not a very comprehensive answer from me, but if you want to keep TWRP on your phone on every boot, you need to disable dm-verity. Otherwise, it gets overwritten by the default recovery. I also suspect, that as it checks that boot partition for matching hashes, rooting tools and custom kernels would trigger warnings (not sure, but maybe the phone would restore the stock boot image as well).

Also, as we found in the first build of Soak Test 1, in order to disable forced encryption (and for that, I have my own reasons), it seems that dm-verity needs to be disabled.

For the curious, my reason for disabling forced encryption, and using my phone unencrypted, is because my model has a lowly 16GB, so I need to use an SD Card as adopted storage. With encryption on, adopted storage proved to be extremely unreliable. Quite often it wouldn't mount on boot, needing multiple reboots to be mounted. Then one day it complained that it was corrupt - boom, all my data on it gone, and that was before I was unlocked or rooted, so no good backups for many apps. Unencrypted, I haven't had any of that.
