[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] bubba1601:
Just like you, I've been rooting and flashing phones since like forever, and this device is the first I've ever had issues with.

It's entirety possible that as I'm a "noob" to flashing system images and fastboot flashing as apposed to flashing "ROMs" I may have messed up the procedures or made mistakes.

But not to be outdone, I have just before typing this reply tried again to root my E5 and flash a GSI, and again the process failed for me.

I could not boot into lineage OS 15.1 due to a "decryption error" and also couldn't get twrp to flash anything.

I've read now my issues are down to the DM Verity kernel which seems to be causing a lot of confusion amongst users and It now seems the process to remove forced encryption is what's causing all my issues.

I don't understand the process if I'm honest (it's an age thing lol) and worse, there is a lot of conflicting information, as a few people are saying the DM Verity process isn't necessary!!!

So unfortunately I've given up completely for now and stand by my original advice.

It's best to leave this particular device well alone until we have a proper procedure and tutorial in place for our own devices rather than trying to follow procedures for the US version.

I'm jealous though you only paid £65, as I paid £79.99, but I still think this Moto E is better than the Nokia 3 it replaced.

If any one can send me any issues they have with pettyl xt1920-15 rooting/twrp/etc I will try to test everything I can and see what works don't expect anything till January cause got college till the 23 and no time now
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] bubba1601:
That's very generous of you.

Like you, I don't get much time (due to work) but I have two weeks off from 21/12 and can supply as much information as you want.

I would like root if it's possible.

If some can check this twrp in fast boot by booting it and tell me dose it work on thier phone i be thankfull https://github.com/TwrpBuilderTests...s/tag/TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-2018-10-28_04-33
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] bubba1601:
I have a "working" 3.2.3 version for PETTYL but I'm not sure it's the version you linked

The one I have "works" in that it boots to TWRP fine from fastboot but obviously it doesn't flash.

I can't flash GSIs through that version, where they do flash no problems through fastboot......

Finally, I can flash magisk through that as even though magisk flashes successfully, magisk manager shows magisk is not installed and asks to flash it again.
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] bubba1601:
[MENTION=8384406]plscotland[/MENTION]

TWRP - won't flash to recovery partition.

Cannot mount vendor to flash Fstab

Magisk flashes but magisk manager shows not installed.

I tried the twrp I sent you and the James version.

Lineage - I can successfully flash and boot lineage over stock (Phhusson version) but I have issues with "device not certified by Google" and get spammed by constant notification from Google

Cannot use for daily driver due to no nav bar orfind any settings to enable nav bar.

Descendants 1.0.5 - I have successfully flashed and booted this "rom" and used it but the sound from system ringtones and notification tones is awful and distorted

Lots of graphical glitches and system UI has stopped errors

Pixel experience - cannot flash - error whilst flashing that system IMG is bigger than target.

If I wipe data, it just bootloops and won't go past splash screen.

Resurrection remix - cannot boot

Bootleggers 3.0 - cannot boot

Hope some of this information helps you.

XT1920 - 15 retail GB firmware (SIM unlocked) stock android 8.1 go currently
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] plscotland:
Thanks I check and send u how to boot resurrection remix later cause there are extra steps for it to work and fstab also has to be done in another way once IM off work I do a guide for it /Info helped a lot

[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] plscotland:
Qestion do u just want working magisek root on pettyl ?

There 2 ways

One download magisek manager

Get a twrp buckup of your boot image

Go to magisek manager choose patch boot image and choose your twrp buckup boot image (turn off compression of buckup when taking it ) after it finishes go find the patched boot image it should be in downloads or magisek folder can't remember then go to twrp and flash the patched boot image

/

Second way is to add the fstab or whater its called skip the adb mount part and only do the adb push part (look in tread for exact) https://xdaforums.com/moto-e5/development/recovery-twrp-moto-e-5-play-james-t3796323 then flash the magisek 18.0 tell me did it work after. here the twrp that should work for every ones pettyl [ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VsZRGkBujHay02a1M14eJM87H_RHFE9J/view?usp=drivesdk ] !Im not responsible if u brick your phone

!!try to boot twrp before u flash do fastboot boot (twrp image just drag the file to cmd to avoid path erors )
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] bubba1601:
Yeah, Ive been skipping the mount vendor and pushing Fstab via ADB whilst in twrp.

I'll give this twrp a whirl later this evening when my kids laptop is available :)
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] bubba1601:
I've bricked my E5 and cannot get past "decryption unsuccessful."

Stock/los15/any other gsi I tried.

Reflashed stick but getting errors flashing gpt.partition.

Everything else then shows errors after each command.

Twrp- i followed your 1st step with a magisk altered boot image.

Tried second step and that failed.

I had to combine both steps into one and twrp then booted and flashed successfully to the recovery partition.

Adb pushed fstab before flashing twrp to recovery but once rebooted to stock I got "decryption unsuccessful" error and got into a bootloop.

Reflashed stock then los15.1 but same again.

Reflashed stock but gpt partition and system sparsechunk.2, 3 and 4 give errors.

Cannot flash stock or gsi currently or reboot to recovery, just keeps going back to fastboot.
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] plscotland:
in fastboot enter (use cmd powershell gives erorrs) fastboot -w

And then try rebooting it can take a while and tell me did it fix the problem

Heeeeeelp ☹️

(First Sorry for my bad english I'm a Brazilian boy with 17 years old only lmfao)Guys, I have only this little piece of s**** as my phone

#1 and this is not useable, it stop The apps constantely and freezes The system on simple apps (like play music and YouTube)... So I want to leave this cellphone in The trash can and walk away, but I cant make this because i have only this "bombphone"... Anywere can make an downgrade to Android 6.1 or 7.1 to this phone? Seriously I cant live with this phone in this situation. thanks and good night from Brazil
[Moto E5 Questions & Answers] bubba1601:
Unfortunately you can't downgrade android versions to 6 or 7, there's no system image / ROM on a lower android version for that device - but what you can do it's flash another GSi (ROM) to give you some usage back.

I also had the the XT1920 pettyl and android go is just awful, so I flashed several different roms to try.

The ones I got to work are

PHHussons lineage 15 (android Oreo)

ASOP 9 (android pie)

Pixel experience (pie)

Out of those lineage was the most stable.

You must remember pettyl only has 1gb ram, and does struggle with android 9 pie - but it does work without too many issues.

You got to learn a whole new process of unlocking the bootloader, flashing a custom recovery, disabling forced encryption and flashing a new ROM.

There are plenty of posts about roms for the E5 play in the threads here, I suggest you take a long read and don't try anything until you feel confident enough to begin because the process to flash roms on pettyl isn't very easy and is quite complex and complicated for a new inexperienced user.

It's quite easy to try that and completely mess up your device so it's unusable.

So, you MUST proceed with extreme caution, don't rush into anything without reading everything ten times, having a coffee and then reading it again another ten times.

Many users have tried to rush this process and then come here crying their phones don't work anymore - this happens because they've tried to rush the process, missed out steps and not read instructions properly........

Not being mean, but it happens all the time.

Edit

If you don't feel confident enough to flash a ROM (and no one will blame you if you don't) unfortunately all you can do is change the way you use your device.

I never noticed any music or you tube video freezing on my pettyl but how I used my device and how you use yours are probably very different.

You can't put lots of apps on android go devices, it doesn't like lots of apps.

You can disable most of the system / Google apps like playstore, Google play music and YouTube and install open source alternatives.

(For instance one plus music, you tube vanced and aurora store to name just three - just Google "disable system apps" or "replace Google apps")

I also tried a couple of launchers, and Librechair go edition or the android Go customised pixel launcher does make quite a significant difference to performance, depending on how much system stuff you disable and how many replacement apps you install.

Edit

I don't have my pettyl any longer so unfortunately that's the only help and advice I can offer you at this time.

Sorry.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
Every once in awhile, my notifications pull-down won't pull down.

If I lock the phone, then unlock it, the pull-down starts working again.

It's been like this through multiple clean OS re-installs.

Am on Magisk 17.3.

I've had more software bugs on the PXL3 than any other phone before, including the PXL1.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] alkeshgamer:
I have the same damn problem. It just doesn't work all the time. I also had the issue of bright white screen on double tap to wake. So, I called Google Support for this, and the guy on the other said made me clear the cache of the phone app, force stop it, turn the phone off for 2 mins and then restart for both issues. I even asked him how this relates to the fingerprint sensor not detecting, he replied some stuff that, phone app controls the vibration and the display waking up.

Of course both problems does not occur for me frequently, so after that procedure I did not encounter the white screen problem, but fingerprint gestures were still kinda hit and miss. Although they work pretty good now, less miss count. For me they work when I swipe just the edge of index finger lightly, also if finger is very dry, it doesn't detect.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] CZ Eddie:
I tried the pulldown five times while this logcat was running.

I'm on Nova Launcher but think it happened on stock launcher too.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ds15:
Hi guys, I'd really appreciate your help so I can get OEM unlock back on my Samsung S8+ dual sim SM-G955FD here in Canada. I'm on Android 8.0.0.

I've tried many of the methods described on this forum and elsewhere without luck. I've even left my phone charging for over a week, with and without a sim. Also no luck.

My guess is that since the model of my phone is not a model imported into Canada by Samsung, and since I understand Samsung unlocks the OEM security feature by sending a signal, Samsung won't send that OEM unlock signal to an unofficial phone.

This mess started when I unsuccessfully tried to root my phone. I must have made a mistake, so I figured the best way to try again would be to reinstall a stock image. Instead of the original Android 7 I installed Android 8 (which also changed the "Samsung Experience" version from 8 to 9). The phone now happily works, but no OEM unlock and so I cannot root.

Please help me get OEM unlock back on my phone.

Thanks so much

D, stuck in Toronto

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] mierlo420:
Recently I got my broken screen replaced by a shop who claims to use original parts. But I have my doubts if this is true. A couple of things are different:

- Missing grill in call speaker

- Blue colored sensors above screen

- Notification LED much brighter, and more blue/white instead of white.

I saw on AliExpress and eBay that the fake screens usually have the blue sensors and missing grill.

Can anyone tell if this is a fake screen? Or is it maybe just a screen from a different Xiaomi supplier?
[MTCD Software Development] Bose321:
Hi all,

I've been running my Xtrons unit for a while now, with Malay v2 Android 8 for a few months. Everything used to work great, but since last week (without changing anything) my USB connection works crappy. My USB with music and DAB are connected directly through the two USB connections at the rear with an extension. They both stopped working suddenly, but the USB stick I have connected still has its power LED on. So there is power to it.

A few reboots later it worked again, but the next day it was gone again. I then checked the MCU settings and disabled PVR USB (I believe), and it worked again after a reboot. When it works, it works great by the way. The next day it still worked, so I was thinking I solved it.

However, the same afternoon same issue... Few minutes later (without a reboot) it worked again... Tried to disconnect everything and plug in either the DAB or the USB stick, but same result.

I strongly think its a software issue since I can 'solve' it with rebooting it sometimes. Anyone ever had something like this?
[MTCD Software Development] Bose321:
No one? Same problem today. Started my car and no USB whatsoever. 10 minutes later without doing anything everything worked fine for the remaining part of my journey to work.

[MTCD Software Development] dgcruzing:
1st up and not to be one of the thread patrol guys we seem to have running round the Android auto forums..

But general help questions like this should be in the QA area..

Maybe mods should shift it..

But to answer the question with a bit of experience lately..

In my USB thread on SSD's and the USB M2 casing I have used.. I found a similar thing going on with the USB ports..

As reported there.. plug in the M2 SSD (which of course is plugged into the controller in the housing)

And it's seemily pulling too much power as it affected the ability for a GPS lock..

Unplug it and GPS works..

My thinking there is as said..to me it is like it is either a software glitch and or power interruption. I am leaning more towards the power theory.

There is a bit of reading around on USB port burn out on some of the boards.. so it's almost like a case of being careful on actually plugging in to much to ...

In my case 3 USB ports..

This does bring up another point that has been bothering me the last few days as I hunt for a better storage situation..

My reading on 128g USBs via the comments section is showing up extremely hot usb's.. thus it's something to think about . As in these things in a glove compartment could end up being a fire hazard..

And or even in the case here, causing sort of interference back through the system..

Some of the more electronically minded techies with the right testing equipment would be able to have more input.. and I can bet you that the engineers in the factories making these things are not talking or reporting back to their bosses anything along these lines.. as they will be all about protecting thier jobs.. and no one is going to want to put thier hand up and say.. hey..I think we have a problem..
[MTCD Software Development] Bose321:
Tried the 'fix' from here, which should restart the usb hub, but all it does it restart the wifi, as can be seen in the code. The problem is that USB worked fine for me now twice while testing. So couldn't test if the 'fix' actually does help.

I can't seem to get Tasker to run with root... It says that my device is not rooted, although other apps give the SuperSU pop-up that ask for root access...
[MTCD Software Development] Bose321:
Tried the .sh file in the other tried, and an app to reset the USB hub, but no luck. Rebooting a few minutes later worked.
[MTCD Software Development] EDGN:
I have the same issue. I figured out that it is temperature related. When the outside temperature is ABOVE 11-12°C the USB works fine. When its colder It constantly reconnect every 20(?) Seconds. When the Car Heat Up enough the Error is gone again.
[MTCD Software Development] Bose321:
Still no solution for my issue. Also have it in the nice (12-14 degrees C) weather in the past few days. What else can I try before I bin it and go to another HU?

edit: Oh, and how can I get this to hardware?
