From what I've read it seems that the 116-11 is more stable than the 116-16. Still waiting to get my hands on a flashable 116-20 version. Just to get 'convenient' official updates again. But of course... I couldn't wait for official pie:angel:

Dear Sir,

Can i receive OTA update in future after Flash PPW29.116-20?

My Phone info as below :-

1. My Bootloader is Unlocked

2. My Moto G6 Plus is not root.

3. SafetyNet not passed in CTS Profile Mismatch.

4. Model No. XT1926-6 (EVERT) RETAIL

I am waiting for your reply.

Thanks in Advance

[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Ana Carolina Anastacio:
I simply can not update, do the whole process and the device reboots randomly ... I do not know what to do, my device is the bike g6 plus tv eteu XT1926-8. And I updated via fastboot for not being able to wait via ota. I already used all the versions of the android pie and nothing ... Help?!
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smitharro:
Is, your bootloader locked or unlocked? Did you root the device? Did you change any system files? (like installing a 'hide' for the 'bootloader unlocked' warning) ?

These things can interfere with the update process. Motorola bannes phones from regular updates when you changed system files (for instance rooting).

Furthermore you describe something like 'random reboots'. Changing your system files (while unlocked and rooted) can cause this.

Consider to flash a build for your phone/region (to 'repair' your phone from the 'random reboots'). Than do a factory reset and reinstall your apps. And after all that don't change anything from the system files. Only change system files when you exactly know what you are doing.
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Ana Carolina Anastacio:
I did the process of unlocking the normal bootloader. I made it unlocked with all processes. Now on the rooting what you mentioned, I can not say ... As I said, it goes to the Android version 9 but reinitializes all the time. I came back to stock rom 8, and everything normal (however a message from your phone was loaded with different version) outside that normal.

Can i flash this rom on Moto G6 Plus (evert) retail XT1926-6?

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

Dear sir,

Do you know how to relock Bootloader after Unblock Bootloader on MOTO G6 PLUS (EVERT) XT1926-6?
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] globe79:
I would go with flashing, if you already tried 116.16.

Whereas there is no big sense for relocking bootloader - warranty is already void. You can change the bootlogo if you don't like the warning screen.

With LBL you cannot downgrade. You can face a situation, when there is no official working Pie for your device/channel, you succeed once with upgrade via bat file, failed second time and you cannot revert via official tools until official update is released.

If you are with UBL there is no sense going back to LBL!

[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] KaiUno:
Is there a way to go to complete factory default?

I've unlocked the bootloader at some point, relocked it and kept getting "Your device has a different OS". This wasn't an issue until Pie arrived. Now I get the Verity disabled thing and Google Pay no longer works.
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] f1r3br4nd:
I downloaded G6PlusFlashPieOfficial.zip and G6PlusFlashPieOfficial_NoErase.zip, then compared them. I have the following questions before I jump in:

The following appears twice in the NoErase version:

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin

Is that on purpose, or a typo?

Does it matter what order the fastboot flash commands are executed?

Are partition-names case-sensitive? Because if they are, then which is correct-- fastboot erase ddr or fastboot erase DDR ?

The only non-capitalization non-location difference between the two files is fastboot erase userdata. Is omitting that one command going to allow me to preserve my current set of apps and settings?

If I use the NoErase approach, what things will I still need to reinstall/reconfigure?
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] yawer786:
Dear Sir,

Can i know how you relock after unblock Bootloader on G6 plus?
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Alpetrus:
I have the same question.

Unfortunately, Google Pay does not work even after locking the bootloader. I found information that the message "your device has loaded a different operating system" is related to the fact that boot.img is not signed by Motorola. Most likely, it is not possible to fully lock the phone.

Maybe someone knows where can I find signed boot.img or another way to completely lock the phone?
[Moto G6 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] LDMx96:
I have both Google Pay & Banking Applications working on this, running 116-16-2.

I installed Magisk and installed SafetyPatch from the downloads (which in turn rooted my device, but SafetyPatch also enabled Magisk Hide (so I can hide the root from the apps like Google Pay and banking apps, and also shows device is certified in app store making Google Pay work.

I also (in Magisk settings) enabled MagiskHide to hide Magisk from other various forms of detection (it simply gives it a new package name)

P.s a locked bootloader is useless, once it's been unlocked anyway. The Verity is disabled on the bootscreen doesn't bother me what so every as all my functions work from the method I told you.

Hi,

I too lost all the signals when i upgraded to pie.

I have also downgraded and followed all the Steps shown in the link, but still i had no signal.

I even upgraded to pie again hoping that i will get signal, but still i had no signal. Can you please explain me the steps in detail so that i get my signal back.

Note: I tried my sims in other mia1 on pie and they are working. I also tried other working sims on my mia1, but no signal.

Kindly help at the earliest. I am without a phone for the last one week.

My understanding is as follows: ( I am on STOCK PIE with NO SIGNAL)

Follow Steps 1 to 7 as it is in the link.

Step 8. Go to RESTORE, choose BACKUP , restore EFS and swipe. (No need to restore BOOT.img)

ADDITION: Step 8a. Go back and Install TWRP Flashable zip of Oreo 8.1 November Update (V9.6.8.0.ODHMIFE)

Step 9. Now in TWRP, go to REBOOT and Click SYSTEM. (No need to click BOOTLOADER here)

I will have November Update 8.1 installed on my phone.

Now, which ROM should i flash through MIFLASH after all this (November 8.1 once again or Pie January update) to restore mobile signal?

Please reply.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] AnonVendetta:
It sounds like an OK deal but I would lowball for 150$ if it's on Craigslist or whatever. Just flash A2017U firmware on it, then install a good LOS/AOSP-based ROM. But if you dont live in Asia or have a carrier in that area, then it may not be such a good deal because you will have trouble getting 4G LTE because of the modem/baseband, I believe you will only get 3G. Up to you though.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Good luck flashing firmware from a phone with a different SoC on it...

Assuming you can get it unlocked, of course.

Then you need to develop your ROM yourself because there's no Treble, and flashing U firmware wouldn't really make it have an 820 (i.e. our treble or custom ROM's won't work)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=7799420]Choose an username...[/MENTION]: It has different SoC? I thought that all A7 variants had same SoC, but with differing amounts of RAM/storage. Thanks for the clarification.

Definitely a bad deal, you'll be locked to Chinese firmware forever. And probably unable to unlock bootloader, install TWRP, etc. But hey, it's your money.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RobboW:
It has an SD821, not much different but different nonetheless. Different camera setup too. Apparently no extra DAC like the SD820 versions have.

A bit of give and take. If the software was available I would have the 7s as I don't use wired output much although still like having the option to use it, but would gladly sacrifice the extra DAC for better camera, more storage and faster SoC.

Hi,

I installed the Bliss rom based on Android 9 because is the only recently updated Pie rom based on which I can install and run the official google camera version 6.1.021.

It works fine with video, camera, night sight but there aren't others pixel 3 camera features like the portrait mode / bokeh and photobooth.

Why?

I read on a blog that changing the device info in build.prop file to:

ro . product . model=Pixel 3

ro . product . name=blueline

ro . product . device=blueline

The camera app recognize the device as a Pixel 3 and it enables all missing features.

I tried to do this but the app crashes when I open it.

someone tried this method? I'm not interested to use other camera mod as workaround to get this features, i'm interested to get them on the original camera app.

Someone have any suggest?
