I have a cricket moto g7 XT1955-5 supra that is locked in the bootloader, I've downloaded and installed motorola drivers and several applications ADB, RSDlite and QFIL as well as the Lenovo Smart Assistant and none of them recognize the device, on rsd it shows as connected but with no imei/serial or anything and attempting to flash what I downloaded as the latest cricket firmware fails everytime. I also tried the motorola stock XT1955-5 firmware with the same results, the phone wont go into recovery mode and it won't factory reset, it just returns

failed to validate boot image

ERROR: Failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot

boot up failed

Running the custom adb script i found in a thread here actually did communicate with the device, but all the flashes failed, yet the final "reboot" would go through. I imagine I need to have the exact firmware the device came with but I don't see how I could find that, all the bootloader tells me is

You have "ocean" which is Moto 7 Power

So you should be posting in

RSD Lite doesn't work with Windows 10 PCs

Try an old Windows 7 pc (This is your best option)

Your baseband is missing so LMSA won't work.

I have a River with the new 18.1 lineage, they removed an option under Development , Hold Back Button - Kills App option... Is there anyway to get this back? Either by a Developer, app, xposed or magisk that anyone knows about?

Bought a moto g7 phone in US and brought it to India. Jio VoLTE is not supported so using JioCall application. Now looking for alternatives. *#*#4636#*#* shows IMS status as not registered. Jio and Moto customer care executives said they can't do anything since the device is from US. Is there a way to change the IMS status?

When SIM is inserted into OnePlus 6T purchased in India itself VoLTE works fine. It is surely device compatibility issue. Can anybody please suggest a way to make the phone support Jio VoLTE? I'm even ok to root and flash it with any suggested custom ROM.

Jio VoLTE works fine on Moto G7 XT1962-6 is what I've heard. Is it possible to convert my XT1962-1 to XT1962-6 using any custom ROM or any other workaround?
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] trademarq:
I hope folks are still reading this thread as I've run into an issue with VoLTE support with AT&T. I'm running Lineage OS 18.1 river and I don't see any settings for HD Voice/VoLTE. I think this might be because I flashed this phone with an old build of 17.1 which didn't have support for this. Now that it's required, I was wondering if anybody has flashed the baseband/modem on the XT1762-1 from the current ROM from Moto and if that's even safe to do. I do have the proper SIM and my APN is set correctly. According to the SIM status, I'm using LTE voice but the IMS status is "not registered". I'm currently on the latest build of 18.1 from the nightlies.

Any ideas if that's because the modem/baseband is incorrect? I should also note that fastboot says Baseband: <not found> in the baseband field. I can receive data and text messages though, just can't get voice calls to work because it's trying to use 3G which is not available anymore.

I don't have AT&T, but the time that I had issues with the phone registering, receiving SMS and missing options, I had to revert to stock firmware. Once I verified it was registered and all services were working, I reflashed Lineage. @trademarq

Good Afternoon all,

To start, I do apologize if this has been asked before. Currently, i have a moto G7 that i ended up unlocking the bootloader and rooting back in 2020 after my phone bricked bricked itself because of a bad sd card (i had rooted initially to attempt to recover some photos off the sd, didn't have backups enabled at the time. Learned that lesson quick).

Recently, i have been having issues with the device, and what i am looking to do is unroot the device and re-lock the bootloader, and re-flash the base version of android back onto it, but haven't found anything super helpful, nor have i found any links to the correct files i would need to do so. I have attempted use Magisk's 'complete uninstall' feature, but rebooting still shows the warning that the bootloader is unlocked, and I am unable to install the android security updates still that are pending (they seem to fail at around 23% when installing).

Device name: moto G7 (XT1962-1)

Carrier: RetCA (Retail Canada)

Security Patch Level: August 1, 2020

Build number: QPUS30.52-16-2-5

If anyone has guidance on how to properly finish unrooting my device, it would be much appreciated!
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] IronTechmonkey:
You can get back to the latest version of un-rooted stock by using the Motorola RSA program but this will not re-lock the bootloader. I've used RSA to re-image several Moto devices including a Moto G7 Power a few times:

Rescue and Smart Assistant (LMSA)(Motorola/Lenovo Only)

https://xdaforums.com/t/rescue-and-smart-assistant-lmsa-motorola-lenovo-only.3951714/

As to re-locking the bootloader, supposedly that can be done but in the past I've heard that attempting to do so can result in a hard brick. That being said, my knowledge about that is dated and there are others here who could better speak to that.

Relocking a Motorola bootloader is not for novices.

Many posts from people who tried and bricked their phones.

You are better off selling it as unlocked and buying a locked one.

hiya folks.

I just did a fresh install of lineage-19.1-20220908-UNOFFICIAL-river.zip on my moto g7. The wifi settings show that I am connected to wifi but the phone doesn't act like it. Anything that needs wifi states that I need to connect, but I've connected to two different networks so far with no luck.

[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] IronTechmonkey:
If the device still responds to fastboot in booloader mode you might be able to restore stock using Motorola's RSA tool.

tool: https://xdaforums.com/t/rescue-and-smart-assistant-lmsa-motorola-lenovo-only.3951714/

If that does not work then you might have to figure out what was broken and try to reoair manually... if that is even possible.

I was trying to instal pixel experience but messed something up and now I am stuck with this...

AP fastboot flash mode (secure)

Fastboot reason: Failed to initialize partition table

No bootable A/B slot

Failed to boot Linux, falling back to fastboot

Boot up failed
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] IronTechmonkey:
It is no surprise that partition errors might be caused by flashing different ROMS and it is also no surprise that partition errors might prevent the device from starting. The fact that the device is falling back on fast-boot (which is required for RSA) may be a ray of hope. Try restoring stock as suggested. FWIW, I've used RSA to restore stock 2 times on my G7 and on several other devices and vouche for it as a reliable tool. It is amost certainly safer to try that than a manual repair (which may not even be possible).

[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] IronTechmonkey:
Having never had to deal with a device in that condition I would not know what to suggest other than to gather as much troubleshooting and logging information as you can, such as what you included in your first post, and to search XDA and the general Internet for anything that relates to similar circumstances or error messages. There are some thread at XDA and elsewhere that are dedicated to such issues.
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] MarkH748:
Hi. I'm looking to install a custom ROM onto my G7 for the first time. I'm only doing this because the official updates have stopped and general performance is poor even after resetting. What ROM should I install for the most bug-free experience that will also have security updates? From what I can see, the latest version in Lineage is 20 and works well but seems to have an issue with the camera which I likely can't live with. Would I be better going with 19?

Many thanks.

1. The firmware you're trying to flash is older than your current. You will brick your phone that way. The current firmware is here assuming you're in the US.

2. The commands are:

fastboot getvar max-sparse-size

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot flash system_b system_b.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash oem_b oem_other.img
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

You don't need to specify the 'a' partition. When you did you also made typos. For example you tried to flash to 'fsga' instead of 'fsg_a' and 'oema' instead of 'oem_a'. Flashing to '_a' partitions is unnecessary. Just use the commands above.

how to get notifications on speaker (not bt headphones)

Greetings all,

I have a Moto G7. Dig it a lot. However, when I have my bt headphones on and paired, notification sounds only come through the headset.

Nothing has changed since last night...what gives?

I went to the Verizon store and got a new SIM and it is the same issue.

Silly Q..but how can I +ignore+ calls when they come in, rather than reject them (swipe down)?

I miss being able to swipe anywhere to answer and then hit the power button to mute/ignore..

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------

Disable using Titanium backup and freeze it!

I think there's still hope. Try using the Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant and use the recovery option:

https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds101291

You might also want to try slot B in your recovery console and see if that changes anything. But more than likely Moto Assistant or fastboot restore will be needed. Then relock the bootloader according to https://xdaforums.com/moto-g7/help/help-relocking-bootloader-t3936475

NOTE: You need to run "fastboot oem lock" 2x before you flash and then another few times after you are all done to really lock it.

GL and let us know!
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] mybabyloves:
If you go into settings, there should be an option to end calls with the power button, which I'm assuming will end incoming calls too. At least it did on all my other phones :) I can try to find out where it is in settings for you, but I might not be 100% accurate, due to my moto g7 still being in no command mode (I'm currently using the REVVL 2)...

UPDATE: Your suggestion worked on my phone! TYSM!! Though I think I'll keep my moto after all :) Also, just tested the power button ending incoming calls setting, it doesn't work after all... Sorry about that :(
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] skuppej:
:) Well at least I am glad I was able to help your situation! Despite some minor things, the G7 is one of the best performing phones for the $. I'll probably give this one to my wife and get the Z4 Force when it comes out and drops in price a little bit.

It's a minor annoyance that I cannot figure out a way to "ignore" calls. I don't necessarily always want to hang up on people/send them to voicemail.

Maybe there's a different version of the Phone app out there someplace that I can use instead
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] maybeme2:
On the Moto G7 under gestures in settings, it takes power button plus volume up to mute the phone. I find that inconvenient. It should be power button to silence but there is no way to change it. :(
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] skuppej:
Yeah I know. Not too bothered about the vibration shortcut honestly..but I just dont like that if I am at lockscreen and I get a call I cannot ignore it and carry on using my phone. It doesn't seem like that there is a way to get past the lockscreen when a call is coming in without either answering or rejecting and sending them to voicemail, which is not really what I want to do. I'd rather ignore and let the caller just think I was unavailable. If the vibration shortcut did this then I'd be cool with it but all it does is silence the ringing.

If you are past the lockscreen then its a little less annoying.. The call comes in as a notification at the top, but you still cannot swipe it away/ignore.
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] maybeme2:
