Maybe it would be helpful:

I decided to return to Stoke Brazil (or Retail, Sprint, it does not matter). After the flash firmware, I found a non-working WiFi and a zero IMEI. I restored IMEI from the LineageOS backup, but the WiFi did not start. fsg.mbn flashed separately useless.

I found out that IMEI is killed by the team in the .bat file:

%fastboot% erase modemst1

%fastboot% erase modemst2

I found the solution! To avoid all the above, you need to flash Stock by removing the following commands from the executable .bat file:

%fastboot% flash dsp adspso.bin

%fastboot% flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

%fastboot% flash fsg fsg.mbn

%fastboot% flash bluetooth BTFM.bin

%fastboot% erase modemst1

%fastboot% erase modemst2

IMEI in place, WiFi is working!

It would be more helpful to know, how we can update just bootloader, modem and so on to pie ones anytime, without of using flashall (whats losing los installation, right?) and needing a clean install or backup of lineage os.

Maybe we never need pie bootloader and modem? Would be great. But maybe because 5G mobil support. But if we don't use this, hope oreo modem keeps supported in future by lineage.

Did you manage to find a solution, I'm on a XT1789-06 with "MBM-3.0-nash_retail-cd73d31dc-190327" bootloader version?

Hi all, anyone using magisk here? Tell me pls, if i need to uninstall it before updating los via ota? Coz official otas were breaken by magisk afair.

request:(Ignore if not allowed)

Most other phones with lineage os 16 have an animation for transition from lock screen to always on display (I owned a lenovo z2 plus before it did and my friend owns op3t and it does too and its same lineage os 16 official)

I love it its just a request if u don't want just ignore it but if u can include it I would be nice.

There is a bug related to music player

I can't explain it its kind of wierd to explain but do anyone else facing issues with music players(I'm sure its related to rom as I have tried it with different music players, different earphones and without earphones issue is the same and only with music players)
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] arraen:
Yep, updates with installed magisk works fine for me.

My z2 is a XT1789-06 with bootloader "MBM-3.0-nash_retail-cd73d31dc-190327".

Any insights in how to install Lineage on these devices?

Should it be enough to install one of the first stock oreo updates to reset the bootloader to the required version?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] kingracer:
Hello everyone, I have critical issue with any los 16 build available: when listening to Google play music, locking and unlocking the phone causing total sound disappearance and it won't restore until I click play/pause many times, after that systemui will restart with sound working but if these steps were repeated - issue is reproducing too. Is it possible to fix this? It's happening only with Google Play music
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ph4te89:
I've got it to work.

I prepared it like this guide:

https://xdaforums.com/z2-force/how-to/guides-bootloader-twrp-custom-roms-root-t3805737

After reading "ro.carrier", I found out my phone is an reteu, so I installed the latest stock for that. Exactly like in the guide above. (retail was the preinstalled rom on my phone).

After I had TWRP successfully installed, I installed Lineage like this:

I used gapps pico, but it still doesn't seem to work. Several Apps are constantly crashing, so I will flash again and use MindTheGapps this time.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] allrightlite:
I have flashed gapps nano version in march 2019 and this is still working, no crashes, lineage updater works, too. So maybe pico version is the problem?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ph4te89:
OK,Thanks. I'll test a few older versions then, maybe I'll get lucky.

Because you mentioned the lineage updater... Does lineage updater overwrite TWRP with lineage recovery, or does TWRP persist somehow? And what about root/Magisk? At least with my Galaxy S5 (klte) I have to reinstall Magisk after every update.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Ph4te89:
To answer my own question:

- Magisk persists after an OTA

- TWRP will be replaced by Lineage Recovery

I found out, why my Google Apps crashed.

After the first flash of Lineage, I installed TWRP, rebooted to recovery, installed Gapps and after that I booted into the system. I forgot to delete userdata after installing Gapps.

Basically after installing gapps:

Reboot to bootloader

fastboot devices

fastboot -w

Second problem was, that my IMEI was empty and I guess, Lineage had a problem with that. Before I installed stock in preparation of installing Lineage, I just followed Ilias advice.

Now that my nash is in working order I have to say, its a really nice smartphone. Especially if I compare it to my former Galaxy S5 ^^
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] manuap:
After flashing gapps, you need to go to wipe and swipe once. If don't do this gapps doesn't work properly.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] droidgreg:
So I tried the latest nightlies of Lineage OS for about a week and I was mostly satisfied. Bluetooth dropped a few times Android Auto doesn't work which both I could have coped with. The dealbreaker to me was international roaming data not working. I travel a lot and I love that T-Mobile has free roaming. Not being able to use data while roaming made me revert back to stock oreo.

Cant get to install this ROM on my MOTO Z2 Force XT1789-05 (arm64)

Hi,

i have tried for more than a week to install Custom Rom on my moto z2 force XT1789-05.

I have flashed TWRP and Magisk on the phone but anytime i flash manual from TWRP and click the reboot button, Boom my phone drops dead and wont even respond by pressing the power button.

Hard Brick and i have to use Diag and FlashAll to get my phone on.

Please Help me fix cos my stock Rom has issues like Camera, fingerprint, flashlight, proximity sensor etc not working.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] npjohnson:
you need to flashall, then fastboot set_active other, then flashall again.

Also, if they don't work on stock, chances are you have a hardware problem - and Lineage won't fix that.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Rockywarrior:
The hardware is fine from the checks i did.

Can you teach me how to go about the "Fastboot Set_active other", i have two partitions A/B and am confused of what i need to do or the commands i need to enter. Please:)

i went through TWRP and selected "Boot from Partition B", then it went blank dead (hard brick)

Does this mean there is an issue with Partition B or am not doing something right.

i humbly need a step by step (command) in installing the ROM ( I already have Custom ROMs and phone rooted with Magisk)

Has your phone ever taken an official OTA?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Rockywarrior:
No Please, i bought it few weeks ago and it came with Oreo 8.0.0
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
That could be your problem then. I would suggest taking an OTA to open slot B up.

Camera (both aosp and moto) after few shots start to return "Capture failed. Try again.". Looks like it can't save it to storage, because photo appears in preview. Tried both SD and phone storage, same result. Change selinux to permissive don't help.

Try flashing all the a previous 8.0 version

Ok Boss, i have downloaded Stock Rom for version 7.1.1 and 8.0.0 i will try to flash both separate and see.. but first the 7.1.1 and see...
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
Please don't flash 7.1.1. you have the possibility of bricking dropping a major revision. Each model has had at least 3-4 Oreo updates. Just flash an earlier Oreo update and see if OTA functionality works for your phone.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Rockywarrior:
Thanks for your time in supporting me fix my issue, can you give me any link in getting this earlier stock Rom. I kept downloading Roms and following steps but nothing seems to work.

Anytime I flash a Rom, my phone drops dead and I only get it up by blankfile.bat and flashAll.

What could be worse than that.?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
What model do you have and what version is it on? The OCX or OCXS number
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Rockywarrior:
Model XT1789-05. ..build no. OPXS27.109-34-21. Android version 8.0.0

Don't know how get OCXS /OCX.

Please I you on WhatsApp or telegram? I can send you pictures through
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
I don't use social platforms except discord.

Try the below flash all

[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Rockywarrior:
Thanks boss, I will extract and put the flashAll files in it and generate the flashAll.bat by clicking the preparation.bat.

Do I need to lock the bootloader after flashAll? My phone is currently rooted with Magisk

What state should I leave my phone to be able to get OTA update?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
Just flash all and reboot. You should get a notification of an OTA after setup. Don't use TWRP or magisk. That will make the OTA fail.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] androiduserforlifer:
Im having the same issue. Gcam or open cam may take a photo or 3 without crashing and then boom. Motocam seems more stable but but then I get the error you're getting. It works fine with the default lineage camera app and I installed freedcam from fdroid and that also works.

Given the apps that cause the error it seems to be linked either to saving the photo or possibly taking rapid photos.

Some error messages I get

Hi, I have have flash OPXS27.109-34-17 and still there is no update (says my phone is up to date) how long should i wait to get OTA update?,

all the sensors (Camera, brightness, flashlight, finger print, proximity sensor) are still not working, could it be hardware?

What do you Please suggest i do?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
Sounds like it. If you're not getting notifications for an OTA on an older version, it could be wrong software for your variant. It is odd some hardware functionality isn't working.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Rockywarrior:
OMG! i checked the net and i think my phone variant is China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Taiwan.

please can you assist or direct me to which

Stock Rom

i should be flashing to make it work and receive OTA?

Per the variant from the site. it says the phone came with

Android 7.1.1 Nougat.

my next question is, since am not where near those Variant country stated, will i get OTA if i get the correct Stock ROM?
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Uzephi:
You might not to be honest. I just know with phones here in the US, carriers usually send the OTA. I don't personally know about other countries.

any link to Stock Rom for my Variant?

Just installed, two things... Incipio Wireless Battery Moto Mod and Clock Screensaver

Hey guys,

Awesome job on this rom. Everything is working great on my mz2f. Just a couple of things that I'm sure I'm just missing:

My Incipio Wireless Battery Moto Mod is seen and it's set to efficiency mode, but I can't seem to find the battery life of the mod. In stock Oreo, you saw the battery life in the notifications. I don't see this under Settings > Battery either.

I think it's the clock screensaver, it won't turn off when locked and when the screen is turned off. I turned it on once, but disabled it afterwards. Charging or not, it keeps the display on and shows the clock.

Any ideas?

Again, great work!

Thank you.

---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

Ah, just figured out the display issue... Had to disable Ambient Display under Settings > Ambient Display.

Now, only the Incipio battery life and I'm golden. :)

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

Oh, and before I forget... To help others...

When I did my install, I wanted root and GApps done as well. You MUST install all three BEFORE booting into Lineage for the first time.

1. Wipe Data and System.

2. Flash LineageOS zip.

3. Reboot into recovery.

4. Sideload AddonSU (Lineage root)

5. Sideload GApps (Mind The GApps).

6. ADB reboot into Lineage OS.

Hope this helps someone.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] urbex:
Mod support in all the custom ROMs is spotty at best. Near as I can tell, on anything other than stock, Android treats the battery mod and internal as one big battery, and reports accordingly. If you boot the phone with battery attached, then remove it, the battery will report as 0%.

Right now we just don't have proper mod support, though that will hopefully change with official Pie blobs in the future.

Until then, if you need rock solid mod support, stock Android is your best bet.
[Moto Z2 Force  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] johnathanamber:
Good to know. I charge my phone often, so I am not worried. Just like to know the battery status of internal plus the mod.

Thanks!

I have been using Rick's V21 ROM with the RED Sliding Panels home screen layout for a few weeks now.

I love the functionality, and the look of it. However, as the days have gotten sunnier here (Ireland doesn't get that much sun ;) ) I have found it increasingly more difficult to read the screen when out and about.

What home screen/colour combinations have people found to be the most outdoor friendly ?

Im not saying this is the gospel, but i think it would be very dark backgrounds with light colored fonts. It should make it the text stand out more and not get washed out with the sunlight, since you are using dark backgrounds/ and dark menu bars

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shonkin:
I've just been informed our organization is switching to T-Mobile. We don't get new phones (darn!!). We do get our old Sprint phones unlocked. My phone is a Note 5 (N920P). I understand it to be capable of using T-Mobile once it is unlocked.

BUT.... I could use some pointers to the newest Samsung-based rom - I hope an S7/S8/N7/N8 (aka Note 7 or 8 or even later) touchwiz-based rom - that is stable and would run fine on my (unlocked) N920P with T-Mobile as carrier.

ANY help welcome. I've flashed a lot of roms, but would appreciate a little help and saving myself from having to try every rom I find here.

THANK YOU.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Endershadow:
What I want to do is I want to be able to either copy the userdata partition to my computer or do a file level copy of everything in /data to a folder on my computer. I've already rooted my phone, so preferably I'd be able to make the root file system available over usb. Does anyone know how I'd be able to do something like this? I know I could plug in a usb device to my phone and probably copy /data to it, but that wouldn't be my preferred method. Let me know if I missed any methods that I could use.

I want to mention that I'm into doing this because recently my phone died and I had to send it out to have some of the data recovered and I don't want to have to spend that kind of money if I can frequently make full backups myself.

EDIT: I found a solution but I'm leaving this up in case anyone else wants to know how to do it.

I'm using FTPDroid to run an ftp server on my phone which I'm then mounting on my computer and then using rsync to backup the data. I'd recommend paying the $1.99 for SSL/TLS support for FTPDroid and setting up a dynamic dns for your phone to allow for automation of backups.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exodusche:
Just install TWRP custom recovery and do a full backup. You can transfer or copy the backup to your computer if you wish. If your storage is full you can backup straight to SD card or computer I believe.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Endershadow:
The only problem with that is that I don't have an SD card slot on my phone for an sdcard.
