Hey everyone,

I would like to go back to stock from my pie rom. If I understood it correctly I have to do following steps;

- wipe phone

- flash the aroma installer zip

- flash stock persist fix

(- flash boot logo hide thing)

-reboot

Plz correct me if I'm wrong or confirm if this is the correct way to do it

So I haven't had 4g in a while. Long before this whole persist thing with Oreo I think I lost my persist (only partition TWRP shows as 0MB) and have been on 3g ever since. Today I tried to go from 7 to 8 using this method but I ended up getting the no touchscreen issue a few others have gotten. While trying to fix it I was in the fastboot screen and I noticed some options I have never messed with before. I tried the Qcom setting and the phone rebooted into the OS except I had 4g! My touchscreen was still broken though so I ended up flashing a stock image from here using fastboot and got a functioning phone again.

Now, after flashing the stock image I was back to 3g only and was disappointed but when I tried QCOM again in the fastboot menu it did the same thing and I have 4g again! My thinking is maybe QCOM has access to some backup partition for the EFS because my persist still shows 0MB and 4g didn't persist between OP's ROM and the stock one I flashed with fastboot...

tl;dr Does anyone know what exactly QCOM does? Why did I get 4g back? Has anyone else with 4g issues tried this? Also while we are on this subject of fastboot options, what does Switch Tools Mode, FACTORY MODE, and BPTOOLS do?

Edit: BPTOOLS adds an app called CQATEST which you can use you can use to test your phone. On reboot this app disappears. Idk if it does anything else.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NZedPred:
FYIi - The third post of this thread details what needs to happen to fix the touchscreen, and the cause.

It is normal for persist to show as 0MB in TWRP, it's just really small. The backup would have content.

It should be enough to flash stock Oreo, either through Fastboot or these zips in TWRP, in order to get back 4g. If that's not working but is through the qcom option (which I don't know about) then I really have no idea.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] shadow2514:
I haven't had 4g in a lot longer than this ROM though, I haven't had it since back when people were using this and for the first time in about 2 years I have 4g. I did some testing and it seems to work for me across ROMs, I get 3g only until I use QCOM which boots me back into the ROM with working 4G. I can't seem to find any documentation online about what these options do.

Need to restore EFS & Persist after using TWRP

I have noticed every time I perform a backup with TWRP I have to also restore EFS & Persist when I reboot. Same is true when I flash anyting (Magisk etc.).

So if you have an issue after a reboot from TWRP restore your EFS & Persist. Now any time I get into TWRP, I make it a practice to restore EFS & Persist

I am currently runnign OPS28.85-17-6-2.

I would like to try to flash your 8.1 build over 7.0 build npn25.137-83, retus, rooted, with ElementalX-G5-2.02 kernel. Checked my persist using terminal emulator, everything appears okay. One thing I am unclear on, may have missed it, does root persist after this update? And I saw a paragraph about losing TWRP after the update, and having to fastboot it again and run magisk. Can someone just please let me know how to proceed with rooting after flashing the oreo rom? Assuming I don't brick I would like to have twrp and root.

My 2/32 has aged pretty fast and by Monday, I will be the proud owner of the 4/64 but to warm that up, gotta use the stock Oreo. Is it better to unlock the bootloader and root the Nougat and then flash this (or restore an existing backup from the old phone) OR unlock the bootloader on Nougat, then OTA it to Oreo and then root it?

Which seems less painful?

So I am stumped here: I flashed the newest O soak zip and went I rebooted, I completely lost cell phone service (I tried a couple other O roms, stock N...nothing). I did have a backup of my stock ROM before anyone knew about the persist problem, so I restored it, ran your scripts and came up with what you describe as a "bad persist." I followed the guide and the fix appeared to work in termux. Still, sadly, I have no cell service. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help and your work on this!

Also you should have a backup of persist on the root of /sdcard (internal memory). Make sure you save it and backup_*_modemst1.img backup_*_modemst2.img files to the cloud or external SD (or both).

Have you updated to the 2nd soak? Is everything okay after cross-flashing a different region's build on RETIN?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NZedPred:
I wonder if it's something in one of the modem related partitions. It's fine for me still, but of course I have an intact persist, and my efs is always rebuilt after erase. It may be an option to try downgrading all partitions to soak test #1, except boot and system, and see if things work that way.

If you have the know-how to edit the updater-script in soak test#1 to flash all except boot and system, give it a go. Otherwise, let me know and I'll post something later on.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] fivefour:
I was thinking the same thing, I will try it tomorrow.

It's no problem editing the script but I feel like TWRP is involved in some way. Like I said above, I have been having problems with TWRP not finishing flashing the first OTA (sticking on OEM) and general wonkiness with it.

Official TWRP can't decrypt data, one I have can decrypt but often hangs, the other works every time but always hangs on flashing OEM. It's why I asked which TWRP you are using.

I ran into something similar way back when I developed kernels for the OG Droid, it was due to different versions of update-binary floating around. They are not all equal, they don't all support the same command set, older revisions missed some commands ..etc.

[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NZedPred:
Re update-binary, I think I grabbed one from when I did a build of lineage 15, doing all of the testing on IMEI loss. So that would presumably be a nice and up to date one. A lot of commands have been removed from what I've seen in earlier tutorials - I was tearing my hair out wondering why seemingly simple commands were failing when I was trying to build the persist fix zip, so that's why I just end up using shell scripts.

Roger that man....and had a little pie in the face moment, but I think I can make do, the honest reason for having stay rooted on my 2/32 is to manipulate the hell out of the stock kernel, custom stock kernel or a Pie kernel to try and find the sweet spot for performance and battery and really couldnt stay long term on Pie and still managed to get a few hiccups on stock Oreo and my app usage load.

The 4/64 I got is the Amazon edition, disabled most of the Amazon apps, kept the Prime Video though, use that a lot. So unrooted stock. It is much faster though, the app load isn't causing any lags whatsoever. Miss the Google phone app though but I think I found a suitable replacement better than Truecaller (ahhh my Android 4.1 to 6.0 days) to fit my needs. And using Blokada for ad-blocking.

Going to miss the mass tinkering days a little, but I'll continue to pop in and contribute, not selling my 2/32...gonna use it as a spare and test/tinker.

I am sorry if I am asking the same question again, if I erase efs will I end up in some sticky situation. I have a complete backup of my stock ROM right after I installed TWRP for the first time.

Does erasing efs, fix any problems? I am asking since I can't get VoLTE working on any carrier on my potter.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Wolfcity:
No, erasing efs will cause problems, that's it.

Erasing modemst 1 and 2 may restore a broken efs file but if you haven't tampered your persist.img or efs there is no need to erase something.

In most cases volte doesn't work with some custom ROMs.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PratyushJayachandran:
Some users reported that they got VoLTE working on my carrier after they installed this stock build with Erase EFS selected. They didn't touch any options basically.

Will it be irreversible in case I erase efs? The thing is that my rfs has the following attributes: drwx--x--x whereas it should be drwx------ according to the post for VoLTE fix. I am not at all an expert in this and wanted to try erasing efs.

I have the complete stock ROM backup. Will I be able to restore both efs and persist back to original condition if I mess up something. The backup is working fine, I booted it up recently.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Wolfcity:
If your backup contains persist (most important) and efs you can definitely try it. I never used a TWRP flashable build, just used fastboot firmware.

But when it's a) an option in the TWRP build and b) your backup is complete give it a shot.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PratyushJayachandran:
I'll give it a shot the next time I've to clean install. Thanks a lot for your reply.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NZedPred:
Just want to add something in here, as there seems to be a little confusion.

Erasing the EFS (modemst1/2) is a standard part of the OTA process and the fastboot process if you use the same commands that are in the relevant XML file that comes with the fastboot zips. this is also what lenovo smart assistant will do.

The EFS is recreated each boot if it doesn't exist. The only time that it doesn't get recreated is if there is an unrecoverable problem with your persist, specifically the key file dhob.bin.

So, to be absolutely safe, use the backup option in the TWRP flashable builds, and save the backups into the cloud. Of course, there is no guarantee that you don't already have an issue with your persist, in which case the backups of your EFS backups should be safeguarded with the greatest of care.

[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] PratyushJayachandran:
I was going through that post to fix VoLTE by comparing the persist from my restored backup of stock Oreo right after I had installed TWRP for the first time. I was on the latest build from Lenovo back then. I can see the files intact. Just the attributes were not matching with what you posted as good persist. Manually changing the attribute didn't work as it would revert back to previous state every reboot. In any case, VoLTE isn't working on stock or any of the custom ROMs. I never had problems with IMEI or network. Flashing this Aroma installer for stock always ends up in no signal for me. I always uncheck erase EFS. Maybe that's why I end up with no signal on TWRP flashable but on my backup restore it doesn't happen.

Is there a way to make sure that efs and persist is contained in the backup image?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NZedPred:
Refer to post #2 for the details of where the backup is stored, named, and how to restore them if necessary.

The issue you had may have been because you weren't using the erase EFS option. I don't know for sure. Or, you may already have an issue with your persist - refer to the FAQ " On soak test 2 or later, I have my IMEI but no signal. What can I do?" on the second post.

Thanks for clarifying things a bit and correcting me. As I said I never used a TWRP flashable build so the only thing I knew for sure, thanks to your investigations in the Nougat days was have a backup of your persist (I had two, one TWRP backup and a dd one;)) and keep also a backup of efs in case your dhob bin or its permissions may be damaged by some custom ROM.

I should have mentioned that efs is recreated after a fastboot flash (if you don't omit the commands) or OTA update.
