I'm not sure how Lenovo Moto assistant applies the rescue but if you have the nougat file from Lenovo Moto assistant you can use that to fastboot flash it and see the results of applying each part of it to see if anything fails to apply. I don't know if you are familiar with fastboot flashing but you have to extract the files from the recovery zip that LMA downloaded and run a string of commands to do the flash. Here is an example of the commands that you can use to create a bat file:

[MENTION=8011874]Echo off[/MENTION]

TITLE Automated Script for flashing MotoG5 plus
[MENTION=279333]ECHO[/MENTION] Press any key to Start Flashing

pause

fastboot oem fb_mode_set

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin

fastboot flash oem oem.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase customize

fastboot erase clogo

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

fastboot reboot

pause

exit
​

And yes, you can side load the OTA update. That's how I found out what was going wrong when I tried to install it. Instead of just getting an "update failed to apply" message that I got when doing a normal update, the side load gave me actual error info that told me what went wrong!

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] nvrpayretail:
We're getting beyond my level of knowledge, but I wonder if you can resolve this by downloading the latest copy of twrp and doing a fastboot boot of the twrp.img. Then see if you can set 'allow oem unlock' from there and recover your system.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Smeagal192:
Why are you talking about fastboot or anything else not relating to this update, anyone reading will think it's way more complicated than the thread was intended to be.

There is a specific thread for your problem where you may get better fastboot info for the G5plus.

Whats about this update?

Blur_Version.28.51.16.potter.retail.en.US

Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zmt...IeF9vauAY/view

Can i flash it via adb sideload on Retin XT1686
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
No, this is an OTA update. These updates are supposed to be in your internal storage and than installed like any other OTA by the Motorola update service on your device.

Your problem is that you forgot to activate the OEM unlock toggle in developer settings so your bootloader is still locked. You can only do things that are possible with a locked bootloader. Try to flash a full fastboot ROM or try Lenovo Smart Assistant, there's a thread about it.

[Moto E4 Plus Questions & Answers] jestyr8:
That's something I've been wondering about quite a bit myself to be honest. I find it a little depressing when phones such as the 3 yr old Moto e surnia has Oreo. I think the biggest holdup is the difference in the partition layout, but I could be wrong.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] LitoNi:
When I switched to Samsung I always wonder where is the is mobile data toggle and i thought it was just a Samsung thing.

Just checked my friends s8 and it has a mobile toggle. My question is how do I get the mobile toggle on the note 9????

I got my note from Samsung retail Canadian store.

Is this a regional thing? Cause some people have it and some don't. If that's the case is there anyway I can enable it without flashing or rooting anything ?

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] coremark:
I had the same issue. My wife has the S9 and I have the Note 9 and both got it from Samsung Canada too and the mobile data toggle is missing. So basically, I did the instructions from the YouTube video and it works on both of our and restores the mobile data toggle. You can try it yourself. No root needed either [youtube]HZyDONRyozY[/youtube]

Also, Everytime there's an update, the mobile data toggle disappears so you need to do it again. It's pretty easy, just a few commands and that's it.

Hope it works for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] coremark:
I forgot to attach the pic. You can see I have the mobile data toggle on my Note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] LitoNi:
Thank you for the response. Seems easy to do but annoying to keep on doing after each update.

I hope Samsung can be more consistent with this ??*♂️

Is there a way to map PPT-long or a Soft-Button to the regular Speed Dial (the one in the Dialer)?

I did several searches and did not find this answer.

Thanks for the help!
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheVeil:
Note:

This is a bash script, meaning to use it you must be on Linux.

Note:

You must already have fastboot and adb installed on your system.

Background​

I like messing around modding my device, and quite a few times that has resulted in bootloops, and other issues. After getting tired of repeating the recovery process so many times, I decided to just write a bash script to almost completely automate the process. It guides you with easy user-prompts, and can be used by someone with little knowledge.

I'm not a professional, I just have some skills that allow me to develop simple tools for myself. I'm just releasing it in-case it might be helpful to someone else.

Restrictions​

It's only for Moto X4 Payton Fi phones, any other device would require modifications to the script. Over time I do plan on making more updates to it as I develop it for myself. It will become and all-in-one tool, with more functionality in the future.

Features​

- Ability to recover your phone from soft-bricks automatically.

- Ability to install the latest TWRP as a custom recovery automatically.

- Ability to install latest firmware automatically.

- Ability to install systemless root via Magisk automatically.

Download​

The latest version will always be available on my git repository.

Github Repository:

github.com/menevia16a/Firmware-Recovery_MotoX4​
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kkjb:
Thank you, now may actually unlock this device. Still on fence, with no signed images. I may wait for Pie update, if it ever happens. These tools will be a big help.
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheVeil:
Thanks for the reply, when the firmware image for the pie update is released I should do another update to this too. But honestly you can always use the tool and when it installs the system and boots up, go to the ota update before continuing the script and accept the ota updates and continue the script once the system is booted up again.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Yorlik:
So, ever since I updated to 9 Pie (stock), I haven't been able to download any of my purchased tables from the regular ZP2 app. Anytime I try, it gives an "unknown error" (if trying a single table) or "an error occurred" when hitting Restore Purchases. When I was on Oreo (stock), I had no issues and could download the tables just fine. I've tried reinstalling, factory resetting, but nothing. I am not rooted, nor do I want to be (yet) because I am still under warranty and will be until next June.

I've got a tablet running LineageOS Oreo and that can download tables just fine using the same account.

I've tried using adb to backup the app data, but when I tested the adb restore on my tablet, the tables that were previously downloaded were showing up in the app data (based on file size), but the game did not register them, so it still asked me to download everything (other apps were backed up and restored just fine). I emailed Zen and I've been going back and forth with them (they're trying to help, but what they suggested I already did) and they took my User ID from the game to verify my purchases, but that's as far as I've gotten with them. They are trying to resolve this though, I'll give them that.

Any ideas?

Hello. Something strange has already happened to my phone. I have never faced before.

When I restart the phone a ticking "clicking" sound comes up similar to the one that is the computer make it when booting up. Is that normal?

Everything else is fine except this sound and it's just comes up when reboot only.

I have uploaded on YouTube. Please have a look

Thanks guys

[General Questions and Answers] jr866gooner:
I’d get that checked out. On a pc that can be disk failure. I’m sure though phones have storage directly on the board and of course not a mechanical disk!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Does the vibrate feature work correctly? The hardware that creates the vibration might be faulty. PS 2 dual shock controllers used to have a similar issue.
[General Questions and Answers] cast-away:
Thanks for responding to my enquiry.

Actually every thing works well so far. There no issues. The vibration works normally.

I would say the sound seems to be a vibration but its not.

It comes from the logic board I'm sure. Its really hard to hear it you need to be in a quiet place to recognize it. And its only comes up when restart the phone.

Do you think If the liquid touches the board, it can do so? I was cleaning the phone using some liquid day before. Not sure
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If it wasn't doing it, then you used the liquid cleaner and then it started doing this, then, yes, I'd say that caused the issue.
[General Questions and Answers] cast-away:
Thank you guys. Am I have to worries about it? Will it getting worse? Or just that's it?

Thanks again. I will do a rest factory and see. If nothing happens I will try clean the board
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
The smart thing would be to pull the battery cover and remove the battery and allow the device to dry for at least 3 days before using the device, otherwise, you risk damaging the hardware if you use it while still wet.

Or, you can open the device and dry the device faster, but you risk damaging the hardware doing that also.

Best course of action? Power the device off and allow it to dry completely before using.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] DmytroPitenko:
Thx))) I was very much waiting for this.

I'm now at 20a. if I flash the bootloader only, then the fingerprint scanner will work on custom firmwares? Does the custom LAF work?
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] weakNPCdotCom:
very welcome. if you flash the bootloader only it will leave whatever laf you have untouched, and yes fingerprint scanner will work with custom ROMs like AOSP Extended.

However, I have not tested running stock 20a with the 11g bootloader. But it doesn't sound like that's what you are wanting to do

*edit*

if you have already flashed a custom Rom and FP doesn't work, simply flashing the 11g bootloader zip will fix it. it is not necessary to reflash the rom

also, not sure why anybody would want to, but 11g bootloader with stock 20a rom will not work. it will hang on the boot logo indefinitely which can be dangerous for your phone. so please make sure you are using a custom Rom or stock 11g with this bootloader
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ken C:
Any way to flash one of these stock images. Rom itself. If you can't get into twrp? Check my post from last night in the root thread and you'll see what I'm on about.

Phone boots but system ui stops which keeps me from getting in. Lost twrp from recovery somehow. All I did was apply a then through substratum and it all went South from there.

Not hounding ya just thought I'd prefer over here and see what you been up to.

When I run step 1 in that root thread I get no hash match and something about with laf or lafbak not being present. Haven't fully fired up the pic too see if I can post the output from that here. (Honestly, was never that good with logs lol)

I'm curious though if flashing your laf (how in the heck it happened is beyond me) if it's possible through adb or lgup would put me back to right.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] weakNPCdotCom:
Do you still have root? if so you can extract the laf.img file from the StockLAF zip and use adb shell to push it to the dev blocks

put the laf.img file on your sdcard and rename it to laf.bin, and run these

adb shell

su

dd if=/sdcard/laf.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/laf

dd if=/sdcard/laf.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/lafbak

that will restore stock laf
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ken C:
Have to have root eh? So I'd need dl mode back to flash the kdz to get root but can't unless the kdz restores laf in the process which if it did this wouldn't be required I'm thinking.

Sorry man just thinking through things.

When y'all are putting in " /by-name/ " it would be h-872 right? Stupid question I know but I've never seen it mentioned straight out anywhere
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] weakNPCdotCom:
Yeah you need to restore stock laf another way if you dont have root. Root is needed for ADB shell.

and no, /by-name/ is the actual folder name. I think it's a directory of symlinks, but i might be wrong. Basically it lets you access a partition or mount point by name. in this case the names of the mount points would be laf and lafbak
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ken C:
Ok. Figured it was something like that. Always meant to ask somebody, just never did
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ryanrod:
Thank you for this weaknpc! This is really saving my a*s. Quick question. If I flash the FullStock version, will I have to unlock the bootloader again? I am using the AEX rom (have twrp 3.2.3 on laf and recovery I believe) and just want to go back to the full 11g firmware. If this works I wont even worry about flashing the laf partition (I would only do that for using LGUP+11g kdz).
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] weakNPCdotCom:
Glad I could help, man. No, none of these will lock your bootloader. They wont touch your recovery partition either. If for any reason you want to go back to stock recovery let me know, I can pack a zip to flash that from your LAF TWRP if you still have it.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ryanrod:
Awesome. Yeah, I am going to give it a flash tomorrow morning. I do not think I will need the stock recovery at this time, but thanks for offering! I have been stuck with the whole twrp on LAF issue, not being able to use LGUP, and this just a godsend to get back to 11g. Thanks again! :good::)
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ryanrod:
IT WORKED!!!! THANK YOU :good::D:D:D:good: This phone is finally fully useable for me again!

I also saw your post about moving to the V30. Will be investigating that phone at some point.. You rock my friend.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] weakNPCdotCom:
You are most welcome! But important FYI, I discovered an issue in the original FullStock zip that was causing the laf partition to be flashed over with stock. I am posting an update to the project with another handy file for people with TWRP on recovery. If you downloaded FullStock prior to this morning, you will probably want to reboot to recovery and flash it.

Flashing h87211g_TWRPLAF.zip from custom recovery will put TWRP back on your LAF partition.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ken C:
If I were to downgrade if able to, would that have a chance? I still am getting stuck in fastboot mode unless I'm hooked up to the pic and let lgup do it's thing.

It detects the device, does it's thing, reboots it and gives me a factory reset phone back just no dl mode.

It's not bricked yet lol.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] weakNPCdotCom:
I'm sorry that you had a little trouble. It actually makes sense that you needed to format data. I will update the instructions to start things off with that step.

The actual, proper procedure, would be to format data, reboot back to recovery, wipe system, data, dalvik and cache and then flash FullStock and Magisk.

I'm glad you still had TWRP on laf. Maybe I was looking at an old updater-script. I do know, however, that I removed the recovery flash from the rom so that never should have been replaced. What I think might have happened with you is the Stock firmware's recovery repair feature. Since Magisk didnt flash correctly and you booted to OS, it would have tried to repair stock recovery.

As for the TWRP LAF zip, it is an exact image of the LAF partition after it was processed by [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION]'s root procedure. So there shouldnt be any checksum issues at all. It should be totally safe.

The bluetooth thing is probably the most puzzling to me. I extracted all of the images in these roms directly from the stock KDZ. Your system should be a mirror image of any device flashed with LGUP.

Try flashing the SysBoot ROM on top of what you have now. The file structure in that rom is different. Instead of extracting a system image to your system block (the way fullstock does) it actually flashes all of the individual system directories to their designated blocks. I have a feeling that it may fix your issue.

Thank you very much for the information. If you end up doing anything else let me know how it turns out. If I can help you not have to flash the KDZ then I'll be happy. That was my main goal in creating these packages.
[T-Mobile LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ryanrod:
Ahh yes this makes sense. Maybe it was a stock recovery repair due to magisk failure as you mentioned? I still don't understand why with these LG phones (ever since the G3 I think), when you boot into recovery using the hardware buttons, it asks if you want to factory reset the device. Then if you say yes, it doesn't reset/format anything, and it boots right into twrp recovery after that. So weird. I can boot directly into recovery just fine from a reboot app or adb from a running system without getting that factory reset screen...

I'm sure your laf zip with twrp works for the reasons you mention. Luckily I don't have to find out since my laf partition is fine and still has twrp!

Regarding bluetooth, I will give the sysboot flash a try and update you with the results. First I want to wait until my backup phone is running again. I bent the sim pins on the backup phone due to those ****ty plastic adapters that catch the pins (an old E980 w/ the larger sim size) so I ordered another sim reader to fix that. :p I also read in some forums that wiping cache and dalvik cache resolved others bluetooth issues with the G6. I will try that too.

Either way, I will update soon. I am happy to share my notes as I really appreciate the help! :cool:

[MENTION=9374982]weakNPCdotCom[/MENTION]

The actual, proper procedure, would be to format data, reboot back to recovery, wipe system, data, dalvik and cache and then flash FullStock and Magisk.

I'm rooted and running an old version of aex. I'm still getting the encryption message anytime I try anything without that rom. These last two posts. When you talk about formatting your saying in twrp correct? Or that forced format you can do with the buttons?

Basic point is I'd like to get rid of that encryption message and it looks like your instructions take place after we achieve root. I'm wondering if I should just kdz to 11g and root from there. Or would just flashing your full stock zip do it? I seem to be the only one having such an issue with it so I'm figuring I'm missing something somewhere that y'all are doing or whatever that's getting by me.
