I think the only way to encrypt is wipe data in TWRP but in this case you lost all files on the data partition. :(

[joke]but if you have many years time you can try it with a brute-force[/joke]

but if you have a data backup you can restore it, it goes also from a full backup in this case you unselect all excepted data. That works for me. (All in TWRP)

Do any of you guys know whether this ROM passes Safety Net?

PS: Thanks a lot for your great work dev! Looking forward to trying this out :)

EDIT: Question: Is the installation of the TWRP version of stock Oreo 8.1 sufficient or is it required to install the proper version of stock via Fastboot for e.g. fingerprint to work?

Thanks! :good:
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] lucki1000:
If you had stock oreo and will now get to this ROM you're fingerprint works.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] James160103:
So do you know if the flashable stock Oreo ROM will do? Or do I have to install stock via fastboot for fingerprint to work on Pixel Experience?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] SirHarleyquinn:
You can use the TWRP flashable version, its worked for me.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] lucki1000:
I don't know I read thats via TWRP 64bit it bricks your phine, if you will do it, try it with TWRP 32bit or with fastboot.

Don't forget to make a full backup of your current ROM.

[MENTION=8538610]James160103[/MENTION]

I just installed using the 64 bit version of TWRP (posted on the topic of LineageOS 16) and had no problem, yet yes, it is highly recommended to back up Persist and EFS.

If you install the latest version of Oreo (OPP28.85-16) by TWRP you will have an option to automatically back up Persist and EFS.

The safest way to install Stock Oreo is by using the TWRP version as you have the option to back up EFS and Persist, and you still have the option of not deleting EFS if you are afraid of losing your IMEI.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] lucki1000:
Since I have not done that yet I can not say if it works, so it may be that I'm wrong if it worked for you then it's great.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] kadorna1:
Been using this since last night. Works okay but there's a few things missing:

- Ability to turn off the navbar completely (the build.prop trick doesn't work for me and systemui tuner lets you use immersive mode on the navbar alone but it appears again when opening the notification drawer or whenever the keyboard is on screen)

- NO way to use the VOL buttons to change songs when the screen is off

- The most critical: the brightness slider is pretty broken. On EVERY rom I've used up until now around 20 to 25% brightness was everything I needed to use the screen properly, even outdoors (althought not under direct sunlight). Now if I'm able to see anything at all under 50% brightness it is a miracle

- Media scanning doesn't seem to work. Had to use a 3rd party app to scan media and have my music library on the external SD available in any music player I've tried.

Everything else I've tried worked pretty well, including the camera
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] James160103:
Perhaps I wasn't making myself clear, sorry for that, though I'm still grateful for your quick replies - here's an explanation:

- I was running stock Nougat with locked bootloader

- Now I have the TWRP-flashable stock Oreo ROM installed

- I obviously want to install Pixel Experience

- Some ROMs here on xda have the requirement of having stock Oreo installed before installing them because the fingerprint scanner would not function otherwise

- My question is: Is the TWRP-flashable stock Oreo ROM sufficient to get fingerprint working in Pie ROMs or do I have to install the nonflashable stock Oreo ROM via fastboot before installing Pixel Experience instead?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] SirHarleyquinn:
I'm sorry, I probably have not made that clear in the previous answers, but yes, if you have the TWRP version of Stock Oreo then you can install any pie rom and you will have the fingerprint reader working perfectly.

I just installed this rom here, and I can confirm that it works with this TWRP method.

IMEI 0

Hello guys !

After I pass the Oreo TWRP stock "which some recommended" and after I made the Pixel flash, my imei is "0"

Any tips on how to solve this?

Thank you !
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] raziel100:
it's because you in the aroma installer has not remove the option to erase modem and the imei, to fix it, just to this, go to the twrp, wipe, after that flash the twrp oreo stock again, let the option to erase modem enabled, reboot, wait to at last get in the welcome screen, after that your imei will be back, and you can just enter in the twrp again, only wipe, and install the zip of the custom rom you wanted.

Can you send the full error, Status 7 error is caused while the ROM’s updater script file checks if the phone model of your phone is compatible with the ROM you are installing, called asserts.
Asserts is a safety mechanism so you don’t accidentally install another phone model ROM on your phone.

[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] SirHarleyquinn:
You need Stock Oreo (Motorola), but it can be either the fastboot version or the TWRP flashable version. (I recommend the TWRP version, and remember to back up your EFS and Persist.)

I know this, but so far all the Oreo custom roms that I tested needed the nougat stock files, and the Pie ones needed the Oreo stock files. Even if it's not a rule, it's what most people have been using.

I recommend you download the "cedric-twrp-OPP28.85-16.zip" I used this version, when you are flashing will appear some options, read carefully, because there you will have the option to backup your EFS and Persist, you should leave this option checked, and you will also have an option to delete your EFS, but remember that if you check this option to delete EFS you will have to do the first boot in the Oreo Stock, otherwise you will not have your imei working .

Good to see that PixelExperience has updgrade to Pie and made it official as well! I've been on PixelExperience 8.1 since I first got the phone and haven't used any other ROMs, so look forward to upgrading. I'm a bit confused as to the process that gets me there without losing fingerprint/IMEI/bricking my phone. My current understanding is:

(1) Flash the TWRP flashable Stock Oreo from this thread: https://xdaforums.com/g5/development/twrp-flashable-soak-test-oreo-t3827913

This will give you the option to back up EFS and Persist partitions during installation, which one should do.

Question: The TWRP version I have installed is still the 64bit vesion 3.2.1-0 from last year, when I originally flashed PixelExperience 8.1 - will this work for flashing the Stock Oreo linked above?

(2) Once this has successfully been flashed, I can then flash PixelExperience 9.0 over this.

Question: Do I need to boot the Stock Oreo first or can I just flash PixelExperience 9.0 straight over the Stock Oreo without booting?

Would be great to hear people's experiences and clear this up!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] lucki1000:
(2) I haven't made it at anytime, but if think you must start the stock rom, but

you don't must configure it, i think you can after it starts immediately reboot to recovery.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Sephirothrx7:
(1) I'm using the same twrp version, works fine.

I didn't have a single problem with IMEI. In twrp you can create a backup of the efs partition and restore it if something goes wrong. In fact, you could create a backup of the system, data, boot and efs partition, just in case something goes wrong and you want to go back to stock oreo.
