[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Andrej_SK:
So does your phone actually boot into the TWRP or it doesn't?

If it doesn't, download this 64bit TWRP https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939821589, copy it into the adb folder and flash it using the command below:

fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img

Then, reboot the bootloader using command below and try to boot into the TWRP as you normally would.

fastboot reboot bootloader

If the TWRP boots, try to wipe cache and dalvik cache at first, then try to boot into the OS. If it won't help, wipe everything except system, microsd and USB-OTG (however, you will loose your data), then try to boot into the OS again.

Let me know the results.

Just few more things to note:

None of the G5s's (montana) ROMs (custom, stock, doesn't matter) won't work with G5 (cedric).

For sure, you can't wipe your IMEI just by factory resetting your phone. It may get wiped if erase modem commands are executed with broken persist or by reverting to stock using fastboot with anything 64bit installed at least once. However, there's already a fix for stock Nougat ROM, which fixes ownership of some persist files and brings back the IMEI. In case of lost IMEI, just flash this zip: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=3700668719832240875
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] shAen123:
Yeah sorry if the email thing was confusing, after I read it over a few times it didnt make too much sense. I cannot get into TWRP, also adb is not working for me. I installed it and ran the abd thing and it just opened, spit a lot of code and then quit. I tired to follow the picture guide to get the device n stuff but the phone wont show in device manager. Is there a way I can pm you on discord or something? I think I can be more helpful on there and we can talk at the same time.

EDIT#1: Never mind, i got into adb, i just forgot that you had to do the command window thing.

EDIT#2: I did the command and it sits at waiting for device. It wont go past that, I think i should install moto drivers because i reset my pc which got rid of them. Ill update once done.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Andrej_SK:
Where's your adb folder located?

Maybe I might help you using remote access (TeamViewer) tomorrow (it's 11:30 p.m. here actually), if things will be more broken than they seems to be right now.

EDIT: Remember that while the phone is in the bootloader menu, the main word of the each command is "fastboot" (e.g. "fastboot flash...", "fastboot boot..."), not "adb".

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Andrej_SK:
The only one solutions seems to be flashing the correct stock FW right now, if even TWRP refuses to boot.

Btw, sorry for my mistake, but even the correct command is "fastboot reboot-bootloader" (missing dash between "reboot" and "bootloader" words), I don't think it's gonna help.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] shAen123:
So if i go into the bootloader and factory it, would it erase the imei number? if twrp flashed properly i should be okay? I can try and boot into os normally again

Oops, I didnt see the edit in time Ill do that

I think it worked, screen went black, then back into bootloader, adb said okay. Ill try and boot into twrp
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Andrej_SK:
Yes, give a boot into the OS a try at first.

Your IMEI will get wiped if you decide to flash stock ROM, but fortunately, there's a fix. Just flash stock Nougat (rather don't flash bootloader and gpt), boot into the OS, install TWRP, flash 2 zips (links below) and boot into the OS again.

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=3700668719832240875 fixes ownership of some persist files and brings IMEI back

https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/ use the 6.0 version, avoids bootloop on stock ROM
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] shAen123:
okay, also im kind of a "noob" at this, correct me if im wrong but in the bootloader menu there is an option called factory mode. My guess is that it factory resets the phone. Is this what you mean by "flashing the stock rom"?

(I know how to do things, its just terms I'm not good at)
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Andrej_SK:
Nope. You have to flash stock ROM using fastboot commands. Type "fastboot getvar all" while yours phone is in the bootloader mode and copy the entire output into your next reply. I'll have a look at it in the morning (it's halfnight right now here, in the Slovakia) and send you link for an appropriate version of stock ROM which won't brick your phone.

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Andrej_SK:
As you have the latest Nougat firmware (NPPS25.137-93-14), use Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant (Rescue function, in dropdown menu choose "XT1670") to download it. Make sure, it offers you NPPS25.137-93-14 firmware to download, not an older one, which might brick your phone. If it offers you Oreo firmware (build number starts with letter "O" instead of "N"), you can use it to repair your phone too, but if you want to stay with Nougat one, let me know and I'll upload NPPS25.137-93-14 (which I downloaded through LMSA earlier) somewhere - however, it will take a "while" because my upload speed is quite poor.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] shAen123:
Thank you man, Where do I go to get the Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant?(If I'm guessing right it is an online thing) If it has an official Oreo build for the g5, I'd like to use that because Oreo is great. Also is there a way to boot back into what I have now because I need to save some game stuff to their cloud services.

Oh and another thing, in the bootloader there is an option called factory mode. From what I've heard from you and what I know, that option factory resets the phone and I wont get my imei number erased? Because if that's an easier option to do, then install the official updates to Oreo from the android updater or whatever, I might want to do that instead.

And I'll stay with the Nougat for now I guess and I can update it myself later if I want.

EDIT#1: Okay so I went to the Lenovo site and tried to download the Smart Assistant but it downloaded a .7z file? I'm kinda confused about that

EDIT#2: Nevermind, since I reset my pc I never got winzip/rar again (Whups)

EDIT#3: Okay! So I got the rescue working after a few tried as it wouldn't do the target image thing. It's showing me CEDRIC_OPP28.85-13_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip, is this the right image? I know it's oreo because if the O, also I think its newer and it wont work? because the nougat is 25.137-93-13 and this is only 28.85-13. But it's showing that I could download it and use that. I think they would be right and I can try it

EDIT#4: Okay so I did some searching myself. Someone did it and it worked fine, their device structure is XT1676 but still had the name npps as me, and updated to the opp28.85-13. he was having problems installing and he said it wouldn't. People suggested to take out the sd card, he did it and the update worked properly because he had 2 partitions. One adopted memory and one portable. I did the same thing with my sd card and I think i should follow this, it is on the official lenovo forums so I think I will be safe.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] shAen123:
Its okay man, I figured it out and I have my backup, so all my games are here and I'm on official 8.1 with a few system updates waiting for me lol
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Andrej_SK:
You can download LMSA from this site https://support.lenovo.com/sk/sk/downloads/ds101291.

"Factory Mode" doesn't factory reset your phone or install stock ROM at all. It just runs CQATest app and deny access to the cellular network (even it asks for PIN at boot, you will get "No signal" in the notification panel). After the normal reboot, CQATest app disappears and the cellular network works.

Oreo is newer than Nougat, so that's why there wasn't any problem flashing it. However, next time, if you're not sure which firmware is newer while comparing by build numbers (e.g. you're comparing two Nougat builds, each with different build number), look at the security patch.

Most probably, the problem what you've been reading about (updating while sdcard inserted) was made by the person, who just installed the update with his sdcard formatted as an adoptable memory (that means the sdcard expands the internal storage and behave as its part).

So is your problem fully fixed now?
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] shAen123:
Yes it is, I was able to boot and go through an update to give me the lastest security patch. After some downloading/backup retrieving my phone is working normally and I have my iemi and stuff. I might go and root it again at a later date but for now its going to be completely stock. Sorry for the long wait
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Frankenscript:
Hi folks,

One of the first things I set up on my 6T was the lock screen message, such that if someone found my phone, they could call a number or email me to help return it. I'm an optimist, eh? :D

But I just noticed the message doesn't show after a reboot, before the first unlocking of the device following the reboot.

Is there some way to force it to show the message? It's silly if someone finds it but it has powered off meanwhile, that the contact info won't show.

Any thoughts appreciated!

Before unlocking the data is encrypted and therefore inaccessible.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] sharksfan7:
If you're handy with photo editing software, you can add the text that you want to display onto an image and set that as you lock screen wallpaper. It'll be behind the shade of the lock screen so not necessarily as clear as the other text, but would still be visible. And you would want to place the text so that it won't be covered by the clock on the regular lock screen.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] neverheard0fit:
I'd like to start off by saying I'm sorry if this has already been posted somewhere, I'm sure it has, but I'm not finding the exact post I'm looking for. I have been interested in owning a OnePlus phone since they came out, but never did until T-Mobile announced they would be carrying them. I picked mine up day one and really liked it at first. I ended up trying to apply a local upgrade and found out I couldn't because my bootloader was locked. I have since paid off my phone, carrier unlocked it through T-Mobile, and applied the unlock token I got from OnePlus. Is there anyway now for me to download and install the latest updates directly from OnePlus?

Hi. Someone who had a working phone, can please just tell mr what voltage can it rear with the volt-meter for the battery? I know it should be 3.85, but my battery has only 3.7V, and I don't know if this is the reason for my phone not starting or not. [MENTION=6122705]F.J.V[/MENTION] or [MENTION=7672955]tsongming[/MENTION]?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] F.J.V:
Hi, I did not measure it.

In the back there are two inscriptions, but I do not know what they mean because it is in Chinese, one says 3.85V and another 4.4V, I took a picture but I did not measure it.

I think the voltage should be 3.85 I do not know what 4.4 means

If the correct thing was 3,85 it does not seem to me that 3,7 was very little, the difference is part of the accuracy of the measuring device, so those 150mV may not be exact, anyway, I do not know how much voltage this battery loses in the download state, but I bet it will be more than those 150mV.

Another thing is that the voltage is 4.4V, but I lean more to 3.85V

Greetings.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] D1stRU3T0R:
3.85 is the minimum I guess, and that 4.4 is the maximum safe it supports. But... Idk id that 3.85 is the minimum that the battery goes and let the phone to boot or not :(
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] F.J.V:
Let's see if someone who understands more than battery voltages can help you.

If you are careful try to charge the battery directly, but be careful, if you pass you can explode.

Ideally, you should do it with a variable voltage source and controlled by an ammeter, so as not to run over the charging current, but if you only have 5V (usb or charger) you can try to charge it a bit by connecting it for two or three seconds, and resting Another four or five seconds, checking the tension from time to time until it passes a little over 3.85V.

Another safest option would be to look for a 3.7V battery charger (it is a voltage common to many li-ion batteries), but if you do not put an ammeter, do it for short periods, although you will not have as many problems as a 5V charger, but maybe it's a bit short, and do not charge the battery a lot.

Eye, if you're not sure do not do anything, as I said the battery may explode. Check that it does not get hot and that it does not inflate and make no mistake with the polarity.

Greetings.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] D1stRU3T0R:
To be honest i never tried to charge this battery at night. Should i still try? My main battery has 2.7V or something like that, maybe it got discharged when i was talking and i had 1% battery.

[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackCat1969:
Hello hope someone can help please have been trawling forums for a week now without getting anywhere.

I was running nxt-l29c636???? tried to upgrade via app firmware finder, first two I picked just failed then I picked older one thinking I might need to go from android 6 to 7 then to 8

Now it's stuck in a loop.

The firmware I picked looked like it was installing but failed early on 1 or 2 %

I can get to erecovery - does nothing and I've tried copying update.app to SD card and holding three button method but it does nothing.

When I fastboot it and rescue mode my phone status is locked.

Anyone know how I can recover please?

Ideally just want to flash it and if so it'd be great if it was android 8

Thanks for looking
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackCat1969:
So I fixed this by using the excellent DC-Phoenix, my problem was drivers :(

So for any noobs out there, got this work. My problem was the phone would never go into upgrade mode. The problem was in device manager (windows 7x64 but doesn't matter which version of windows), was when DC-Phoenix tried to put the phone in upgrade mode the command was sent and acted on but device manager showed warning triangles that it didn't have a driver or the driver was only partially loaded.

When I directed it to the downloaded Hi-Suite (which has all the drivers) it loaded the driver(s) there are TWO drivers on virtual COM ports. So if you phone is not going into upgrade mode best to check that Windows can actually see these TWO COM ports.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] kcannonball:
Hello guys, after of 6-7 months of using XZ1 today I sent an Email to Sony regarding the Raw Support of our Xperia and asking about the Gesture Navigation which was not included in the Pie Update. I am posting it here also, may be you are interested about to hear from Sony :)

Here is what I got as an answer:

Thank you for contacting Xperia Support by Sony.

We would like to inform you that our company’s primary purpose is to provide ever improving services and always acts in our customers’ best interest. We would like to thank you for your remarks and inform you that your email has already been forwarded to the appropriate department.

With regards to your inquiry, we would like to inform you that Android 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 7.0, 7.1, 8.0 and 9.0 support camera features via android.hardware.camera2, and Google defines three modes for the new camera features:

-Legacy mode (no support RAW capture)

-Limited mode (optional capability for RAW capture)

-Full mode (optional capability for RAW capture).

Currently, Xperia devices support the Legacy mode, which incorporates features and functionality in addition to our already renowned camera experience. We are always monitoring our customers' expectations, and as for taking photos in RAW format we will consider this for the future.

We currently have not included gesture navigation in Android Pie, and cannot comment on future plans to add it. However, we will continue to listen to customer feedback and endeavor to evolve Xperia smartphones based on their needs.

We would also like to thank you for being interested in Xperia products and to inform you that we are always at your disposal for any further assistance.

I know that it probably won't work but how about we create generic e-mail and we spam the support to inform them that we really would like to get this functionality(with included imei or somthing to not get deleted without reading). We would have to get users from other sony to get involved. Mayby they just need nuber of anoyed customers to "inform them" or get "customer feedback"
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] kcannonball:
is it possible to inform a bunch of people to send emails to Sony? Maybe we can spread this answer to other Xperia forums also and with one great and common email that most of us would send we can inform them. I don't know how they still don't act related to the expectations of the majority. I think these Japanese companies don't know anything about marketing. Another point is that we want the camera support in the future but our high-end devices doesn't lack anything from other manufacturers so why not to implement them in XZ1,XZ2.XZ3 series?
