Hello there,

Thanks for your suggestions on the first page. I was able to downgrade from Oreo to Nougat (July 2018 security updates) with the TWRP ROM. I had to do that because i repaired my screen and it wasn't done by Motorola. For some reasons, the touch screen was unresponsive after updating to Oreo (some users have the same problems on other devices like the G5s according to Lenovo Forum).

Unfortunately, after downgrading to Nougat, my fingerprint sensor doesn't work anymore. I did apply the patch you provided, but the sensor doesn't show up. My question is: do I need to root my phone to make the patch work? Because I tried via adb shell to fix the persist permissions by myself through the terminal & chown but I need the phone to be rooted to use "su". Therefore, I thought maybe the patch needs a rooted phone to be able to fix the permissions as well?

I don't know if I damaged my sensor after all the attempts to fix my phone, I ran a CQATest and when checking the sensor, the app crashes. I bought another one, it will arrive in a few weeks.

Thank you!

Update OPPS28.85-16-2 is possible make flashable? I need it.

If you receive the notification for an OTA, then you can download it. It will be saved to your /cache folder. Just upload it to the cloud, send me the link, and I'll do a build
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] merlinolillo:
It's a new build with October patch. It would be good
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] woozie.2007:
I received now the update OPPS28.85-13-2, can I upload on my drive and give you a link to make flashable? I dont want to start from zero, i want to dirty flash it, thank you

opp28.85-13
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NZedPred:
------------

OK, so this is getting a little confusing. I looked at a post above yours, and expected that this was an update from 85-16to 85-16-2, but it is in fact an update from 85-13 to 85-13-2. I have of course done builds for 85-13 and 85-16 already.

So quite possible that some channels are just on 85-13-x, and others are on 85-16-x. So there may also be an update for 85-16-2 out there as well, so if someone can send that through I can do a build.

-------------

In any case - trying to update 85-13 to 85-13.2 isn't working for some reason. Can you please try downloading the OTA again, and/or make sure that the copy on Google Drive is correct? All partitions are updating except for one - modem (which contains things like firmware for the radio, fingerprint reader, etc). I've double-checked my work and I'm sure I've done everything correctly, so am looking at an issue in the download as the most likely problem.

Nevermind the above, found a fastboot zip of 85-13, so now have updated the modem successfully. Yay! Will carry on and post an update when ready :)

Will probably take around an hour from now, filename will be cedric-twrp-OPP28.85-13-2.zip

If someone can try it out (do a full backup first!) and let everyone know that it's working OK, that would be great. Any problems, just revert to the previous version until I can look into it.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] woozie.2007:
You made full flashable stock, i thought you will make only flashable update not full. But its ok, i will try later . So, you think i can dirty flash to keep my settings? Thank you

[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NZedPred:
Yeah, for TWRP flashables I can't really do an 'update', it's best to just do a full rom.

I was stuck between Lineage 14 and 15, just cant handle the slow at wich "am force-stop" and several other commands work in Lineage 14 despite feeling overall slow and sloppy.

And use Lineage 15 as my daily driver, howver I revert to 14 when im on vacations because i need a camera and yes is a pain.

However this rom has it all for me and cant be more thankful for it, although the first soak test had some serious stutter problems, I'm goong to give it a try and thank you from my heart, the effort is very appreciated:good:

Yes as long as you do a clean flash that will work.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] shaDNfro:
Hey guys, thank you for keeping up with this device!

I just read thorugh the whole thread. It seems to be running using Magisk.Having Magisk running and deinstalling bloatware is by far the most important thing for me.

I am currently on the 7.0 Debloated and Optimized by Fedray using TWRP (32bit). Can I just download the latest version (front page) and dirty/clean flash it? Anything to be aware of in Aroma?

Bests and many thanks,

shaDN
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NZedPred:
Magisk is not installed with this. If you want it, you install it separately.

Yes you can install this over the top of the build by Fedray, although I would suggest a clean flash, as I don't know what other things he has done with that rom.

With Aroma, you'll get a few options. Normally it's fine just to leave the default options selected.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] yurkinator:
Coming from Lineage 14 and just flashed this rom. I get no fingerprint options now in Oreo. I was being ultra careful and chose not to flash some of the partition options when running the Aroma installer. Does anyone know specifically what I need to flash to restore the fingerprint scanner in Oreo?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NZedPred:
Flash the firmware.

Hello i have a doubt, wich twrp i need to install this stock rom?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Andrej_SK:
As Oreo StockROM is 32bit, you can use the latest 32bit TWRP for Moto G5 (cedric). Link here: https://dl.twrp.me/cedric/twrp-3.2.3-0-cedric.img.html.

Yes, it's working perfectly in my XT1670
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nilshg:
I **can** use the 32bit one or I **have to**? I'm looking to revert to Oreo stock briefly to then move on to a custom Pie ROM which is 64bit, and currently am on a 64bit custom Oreo so have the 64bit TWRP installed.

Does that mean I have to (1) flash 32bit TWRP (2) flash this Stock Oreo (3) flash 64bit TWRP (4) flash Pie Custom ROM?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Andrej_SK:
No. You can actually flash any 32bit ROM with 64bit TWRP, however, you can't flash 64bit ROMs with 32bit TWRP.

Conclusion: there's no need to flash 32bit TWRP in your case, you should be fine flashing this ROM even with 64bit TWRP.

Need Help,

I use Cedric XT1677 Indian variant,

I'm currently running AOSPExtended v5.4(Oreo 8.1)-flashed before official stock oreo update for Cedric,

I'm willing to flash stock oreo on my device,

I've read too many thread and I'm totally confused...

I've backed-up my persist and EFS (but after flashing custom rom---my VoLTE and IMEI work in it---I've not flashed anybody else's persist)

Please guide me.

Anyone's help will be much appreciated.

Thanks! :)
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Sonisudhanshu:
There are two different options

A) fastboot ( if you want to upgrade bootloader version) Use fedray's thread

B) twrp ( i think this would be better)

For twrp use this thread .
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] MohdUjjain:
Ok, if I go for the TWRP one, do I have to revert back to stock Nougat and flash incremental updates or can I just flash the latest Oreo zip file [MENTION=7346927]NZedPred[/MENTION] made?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Sonisudhanshu:
Simply Flash this in TWRP it will do every thing for you.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] MohdUjjain:
Which this? There are so many files in this particular thread, which one exactly?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zdoe:
well, not specific to this ROM, but specific to oreo

first of all, thanks so much to [MENTION=7346927]NZedPred[/MENTION], worked great on my rooted G5. i'd spent a lot of time learning to back-up EFS and persist by ADB only to find out the installer does it.

but magisk modules didn't install or download from the app - only manually via TWRP. anybody see this?

and there is something seriously wrong with the SDcard write permissions on oreo. even with fbind, the utility i've come to rely on, apps are complaining on not being able to write to it. what gives?

for now, i reverted back to my stock debloated 7.0. but the fingerprint detection doesn't work. what to do?

and yes, someone seriously needs to debloat this. good battery life, but slow. wondering if the script that's one of the magisk options is any good. does someone have experience on it?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NZedPred:
With the fingerprint not working in stock debloated nougat, best thing to do is to flash a full nougat build. I have a TWRP flashable one linked in the first post. The key thing is that the modem partition holds other firmware such as that for the fingerprint as well, so it needs to be downgraded.

As for debloating, I don't think that that will actually speed things up as such (I did do a debloated build on my old G5 Plus which was my daily driver for a while).
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zdoe:
ok, i guess that i'll have to do the nougat flashable for now.

do you know if there is any way of making SDcard writable in oreo without problems?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zdoe:
[MENTION=7346927]NZedPred[/MENTION] - could i just restore the files pertaining to the fingerprint reader (or take them from the ZIP), so that i wouldn't have to install a whole new nougat?

or, better yet, do we know if the magisk module "exSDcard Access Enabler" fixes the write to SDcard issues that google gave us with oreo?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] NZedPred:
If you modify the updater-script in the zip, you just need to flash the modem partition. That will fix the fingerprint.

No idea about SD card.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] zdoe:
fingerprint

well, i don't know much about this. should i just take out the lines NOT pertaining to "/modem" from the updater-script on the whole ROM ZIP?

However, if you are on any custom Nougat ROM and you wish to flash any Oreo or Pie custom ROM, you DO need to flash this prior to flashing said custom ROM otherwise fingerprint sensor will not work.
