I had hoped that it would. Unfortunately, I can't get it to work..

it seems that the phone just keeps rebooting before the tool can actually do anything.

The most I get is "Start download firehose binary" and the the phone disconnects.

Next is "Sahara Communication Failed."

Try restarting into qcom mode as well as plugging into diff USB ports. Mine was doing that as well and eventually was able to get it to work.

Hold Power, Vol up, and Vol down. Screen will be completely black but phone will be recognized in device manager and will give you a COM port.

Also make sure you're using the Tmobile MSM Download Tool and not the one for international version. See link above that I posted.

No problem. There's two tools in the guides section and the threads have similar names so it's easy to get mixed up.

In the future if you're going to international 9.0.5 or 9.0.6 make sure to use the full rom and not just OTA.

I've tried the different tools to no avail. also holding power, vol up and down will only go into fastboot mode. I believe just holding vol up and down is the qcom mode and inserting the usb c cable after about 10 seconds of holding those two buttons. otherwise the device will just keep rebooting into fastboot

[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] rybshik:
I am looking for an Oreo firmware for dual SIM XT1926-7.

Will all RETAIL version(s) support dual SIM ?

For example, does EVERT_RETAIL_8.0.0_OPWS27.113-92-5 support dual SIM?
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] lcmp:
I have the same phone.

First do this:

Go to settings: tap System, tap about phone and write down which software channel you are on.

It will say something like this:

RETLA

or

TEFCO

or

TEMX

or

TIGCO

Those are the only channels which offer stock roms for the XT1926-7

If your phone is factory unlocked you will probably have to use the RETLA versions.

the on your computer go to:

mirrors . lolinet . com /firmware /moto /evert /official/

You will find the original android 8 stock rom in there:

XT1926-7_EVERT_*YOUR_CHANNEL*_8.0.0_OPWS27.113-89-5_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml

Before you flash your phone make sure that you have a backup of :

EFS

and

Persist

partitions.

If those get corrupted or wiped you won´t have carrier signal or wifi once you reboot your phone. trust me it happened to me.

good luck.

Dual SIM XT1926-7: firmware and TWRP issue

Which TWRP version, what exact build file did you use to back up/restore partitions?

Was your TWRP capable of backing up /data partition?

In another tread, I posted that (after Magisk root) the latest twrp-3.3.1-0-evert.img failed to back up the /data partition, but twrp-3.2.3-42-evert.img worked well
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] lcmp:
For me, it works exactly the opposite.

TWRP 3.2.3 was not able to decrypt the phone data.

But booting temporarily with TWRP 3.3.1-0 would successfully decrypt and backup everything.
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] rybshik:
TWRP decryption issue

for which firmware build? Pie or Oreo?

In my case, I was able to back up with twrp-3.3.1-0-evert.img before flashing Magisk. And I was able to Magisk-root with twrp-3.3.1-0-evert.img successfully as well.

But once rooted, was NOT able to back up \data partition with twrp-3.3.1-0-evert.img.

So I tried twrp-3.2.3-42-evert.img and it worked.

Is it possible to permanently remove encryption?
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] lcmp:
PIE

I´m not an expert, but from what i know, You need to have a pin or unlock pattern on your phone. TWRP asks you for it and uses it to decrypt the data partition. Then your backups will succeed.

I read it´s possible but i´m no expert on the subject. Why would you want to remove encryption? I think its a good feature
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] rybshik:
Does TWRP ask for a PIN during back up?

I have not set up any PIN/unlock pattern at all. So TWRP did not ask for it during back up, but just failed to back up , showing an error related to data partition.

Could absence of PIN cause the backup to fail?
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] lcmp:
What I noticed is that when TWRP 3.3 boots, it asks for your pin or unlock pattern in order to use that as the credential to get the decryption key and decrypt the data partition. TWRP 3.2 won't do this ( again, in my experience ) hence the back up fails because everything is encrypted.

This is how I noticed that force installing TWRP 3.2 was useless. it doesn´t ask for your pin or your unlock pattern so it doesn´t have a way of decrypting the data partition. Again this was my experience. A more advanced android / twrp user could give a definite answer.

I think so, yes. If you don´t have a pin or unlock pattern in your phone, TWRP doesn´t have a way to "authenticate" and get the decryption key and decrypt the data partition. Again, I´m assuming this out of my own experience.

<step operation="erase" partition="carrier"/>
<step operation="erase" partition="userdata"/>
<step operation="erase" partition="ddr"/>

The "erase carrier" command is as usual as the "erase modemst1/2" command. That's the default.

Erase carrier + modem will not erase your IMEI as long as your /persist is not corrupted!!

Yeah man it took me all day to try to get it all working again, the fix was i downloaded an older stock rom and it restored my IMEI, it had to be the older version though because the newer one would recover it. Anyways now i'm never erasing that carrier or modem if it's not really necessary.

revert xt1926-3 to factory (2020)

The latest factory image I downloaded from lolinet does not contain 2 files for system_b, only one, and it's named differently, so imho you have to replace the 2 above fastboot commands with the following (taken from flashfile.xml inside the download):

fastboot flash system_b system_other.img

I recommend to *always* compare flashfile.xml to zip contents before using a series of flash commands from somewhere else. Or someone could develop an XSLT file to convert flashfile.xml to a flashing script ;)

I'm attaching a little verification shell script to check that all required files are in place.

What is EFS ?
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Brickstin:
There is many reasons why someone would want to remain on stock official release version that came with the phone: The reason why I need the older version back on here is because of how this particular model of the g6 Family was plagued with Sound audio issues: Please have a quick read here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_G6 which in the passage talks about the audio issues after Pie update.

I really do not want to suffer from this - I am just trying to keep the phone original, unless you have information that shows this was fixed in the latest update, I don't want to update this phone to a newer version, it's already AUTO updated by it self to RETLA 9.0_PPWS29.116-11-2

It did not give me this option, it just downloaded and I couldn't stop it, even with debugger mode enabled I had turned off AUtomatic system updates - Apply updates when device restarts. (I HAD This Disabled and it still did it!)

It downloaded and was installing and i thought i could stop the upgrade by stopping the APP process. When I rebooted later on the update still happened but the problem is that towards the end it didn't finish downloading all the appropriate files so the update process was corrupted.

I know what Python is but not Termux: I quoted the wrong statement and accidentally quoted yours so sorry about the confusion.

I was trying to ask about this:

You're stating here that this won't happen to anyone as long as the Persist partition is not corrupted and that is why I asked about checking it; now you're stating not to wipe it at all?

I will just not wipe the Modem1/2 and persist partition as a precaution.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Possible corrupted magisk file? Re-download the latest beta 17.3. I didn't have that problem but the general consensus has been to extract and flash the original boot.img and start over. Yes you will lose twrp, but from the PC you can flash the boot.img and then twrp.img right behind. Personally what I do on the phone is to queue up twrp.zip, kernel.zip, and magisk.zip and flash all 3 at the same time. Kernel is optional. Works well for me. Best of luck.

[MENTION=9495932]EvergreenExpert[/MENTION]

Never saw that error before.

So your bootloader is unlocked on your Pixel 3/Pixel 3 XL.

You have the latest SDK Platform-tools.

The following files are in the Platform-tools folder:

- fastboot

- Bootloader..img

- Radio...img

- Imagecrosshatch....zip

- flash-all.bat

- flash-base.sh

- Twrp.img (twrp-3.2.3-1...img)

You opened a command prompt in the Platform-tools folder (on your computer), booted the phone in fastboot mode, and did the following:

- installed the November factory image

- fastboot flash boot --slot all boot.img

- fastboot boot twrp.img

- installed magisk's uninstaller:

(Magisk-uninstaller-20181022.zip)

- installed Magisk-17.3.zip

In that order and got that error?

Was your pin set before you booted twrp?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] EvergreenExpert:
Yes.. I did exactly that. Also tried to install newer version of Magisk.

Bootloader unlocked on Pixel 3 XL. Pin set. Files on the phone copied over USB to Internal Shared Storage.

Phone boots fine even after Magisk uninstaller is installed. As soon as Magisk is installed it will not boot right. It will start booting, will show G for 2 minutes and reboots again just to show the error mentioned above. If I install TWRP on the phone it will reboot to TWRP instead of showing the error.

Got my phone on black Friday.. Maybe that why the phone was discounted.. LOL

So I did the same procedure again with exception of swipe to allow modifications.

Phone boots fine and appears to be rooted.

Does that provide any clues?

Also, what that means for me and updates? Do I need to watch and not allow OTA system updates or is there more to it?
