Did YOU flash a different firmware or your same OEM firmware?

Did the fingerprint app return?

Is it functioning properly?

Your post is vague.

Sorry,been busy with work. After firmware update everything came back to normal. It definitely is working fine with me right now. I flashed the same firmware from sam firmware site and everything is ok for now.

Hi guys, I'm just wondering if anyone knows any way to move my entire WhatsApp installation to another Android? As I'm changing phone but I don't have the sim anymore for the current WhatsApp number hence I'm unable to get the verification code if I were to do it as normal, and I want to keep the number. I've tried searching but unable to find a previous thread which answers this.

(I understand that if the number gets recycled then I will lose it when someone uses it - that's fine)

Hi All,

I've just got my OnePlus 7 Pro 5G and it appears their is no support for dual SIM. Is this genuinely genuine or have they just misfitted the incorrect SIM tray?

Can anyone tell me what is the security patch version in the 10g update of HKG or MIA variants :confused:
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] nvidiafx2004:
Android security patch level: April 1, 2019

V10g-HKG-XX
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] dbolivar:
This is something I don't understand about the LG patching cycle: some firmwares remain *forever* in an old release letter (like v10a), but are regularly updated with security patches... Does that mean they don't get any newer features at all, just the patches? It doesn't make much sense for me: since you are patching stuff, why not update the rest?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] coolrevi:
V8

Nope. Series is just region specific and mostly has nothing to do with features. Though there are certain region specific features like lg pay (korean exclusive), most of the features are standard
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] dbolivar:
But, for instance, for my region/country, we have branded (carrier) firmwares which are *always* at v10a, even though they get security updates, and unbranded firmwares which have the letter incremented with each release (currently at v10e).

Meanwhile, there is a firmware for India already in v10t (unbranded). This weird pattern also happens for other countries. It doesn't make sense and doesn't appear to be region-specific.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] coolrevi:
Based on the lgbbs website even HKG variants received pie OTA. Can anyone confirm:confused:

Links to Firmware & OTA & TWRP & Magisk & Bootloader - Z3 PLAY BECKHAM (All Variants)

Firmwares

the latest firmware as of time of writing is February's 2020 OTA (BECKHAM_RETAIL_9.0_PPWS29.131-27-1-18_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC) = https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

previous OTAs RETAIL variant can be found here = https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/beckham/official/RETAIL/

future OTAs possibly here = https://androidfilehost.com/?w=search&s=beckham

other variants = https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/beckham/official/

Unlock Bootloader

first you need to install Motorola Drivers = https://support.motorola.com/us/en/solution/MS88481

- ATTENTION - use the most up-to-date ADB Drivers otherwise will brick if older version is used; instead of downloading ADB elsewhere which is often old version, get it directly from GOOGLE, here = https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip

now you can proceed to unlock bootloader = https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a

TWRP

get the official TWRP here = https://dl.twrp.me/beckham/

- ATTENTION - if you just want root access, then there's no need to install TWRP, just boot from the .img once using the latest version

use TWRP to make a backup of EFS partition before installing anything, store the backup files outside of the device

if you want custom ROMs or GSI, then you will need to install TWRP installer .zip into the recovery partition. To install the .zip, boot using a .img for example the 3.3.1-0, then use it to install the latest .zip version in the recovery partition. Unfortunately the only official installable version of TWRP that exists is bugged, and the TWRP developers haven't fixed it yet, go talk to them ask for some love, be respectful = https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_motorola_beckham/issues

Magisk

install Magisk using the new&correct method AKA "Boot Image Patching Method" to be able to install OTA later = https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#boot-image-patching

when OTA arrives, you may manually install it whilst retaining Magisk by carefully following these instructions = https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/tutorials.html#ota-installation

- ATTENTION - you won't be able to install stock OTAs if you use older method or if system partition is modified, be really careful to not alter the hash of the partitions

[MENTION=1118757]heynando[/MENTION], what is the difference between "retail" and "retus"? Also, does anyone know the numbering system? All the uploads on lolinet.com for Pie have 131 as the first three numbers, but the few posted about here have 183. Maybe 183 is an ota number?
[Moto Z3 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] heynando:
RETUS is short for Retail + US.

The difference between RETUS and RETAIL is, I imagine, cannot confirm, the same RETAIL firmware with some US regional modifications such as bloatware or CSC thing

you can check which model is yours in SETTINGS > SYSTEM > ABOUT PHONE > SOFTWARE CHANNEL. Or in the bootloader by running the command

fastboot getvar product

you can find the entire list of product codes here = https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/readme-en.html#listone

XT1929-4(Canada, SS, 4+32GB) XT1929-3(NA/Sprint, SS, 4+32GB)

XT1929-4(NA/AMZ/BWACA/RETCA/RETUS/USC, SS, 4+64GB)

XT1929-5(BRAZIL/RETBR/TIMBR/TEFBR, DS, 4+64GB / 6+128GB)

XT1929-6(LATAM/AMXLA/NIIPE/ATTMX//TEFCL/TEFPE/RETLA/RETAR/RETMX/RETCL/AMXMX, DS, 4+64GB)

XT1929-6(LATAM/RETLA/TEFCO/TIGCO, DS, 6+128GB)

XT1929-8(EMEA_APAC/RETEU/DTEU, DS, 4+32GB / 4+64GB)

I believe that's the internal version of the software. If the number changes that emphasizes there has been software changes and/or tweaks in the system and/or firmware. If the number doesn't change, then it's just a regular security patch with no further modifications in system and/or firmware.
[Moto Z3 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ritchea:
Thanks for that info. Yeah, I know mine has the retus software channel. I just couldn't find or figure out if Retail was actually one word or if it was a combo of ret+ail. That version has a LOT of software posted.
[Moto Z3 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] hans3103:
I flashed retail on an EU model. And after it the software channel say Reteu just like the original. Also the model number is as it should be. In my opinion you can flash retail firmware on us and EU models.

sirkuttin,

Thanks for the detail how to. That worked perfectly for me, and my moto z3 play, same model as yours. I could not get the ota or even lenovo smart assistant to work on my phone. It basically had it locked up, stuck on the boot logo. I'm assuming its the old way of install magisk that caused that. This got me on the latest firmware release, and then installed magisk the new way. Lenovo smart assistant was useful in downloading the firmware.

Thanks.

Hi I tried the new magisk install way. I'm on XT1929-4_BECKHAM_RETUS_9.0_PPW29.183-29-1, copy boot.img and patched it to magisk_patched.img. Then after fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched.img and a reboot, i'm not stuck on the motorola powered by android screen. Verity mode is set to disabled.

I tried holding down the power button to simulate a battery pull but no luck, the screen just stays on. Can anybody give me any advise? I think now I have to just wait till the device is out of juice. Never experience this before.

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

So the battery pull is "Power + Vol Down". I was able to flash the PPW29.183-29-1 firmware and get it going again. I noticed it tried to upgrade me to PPW29.183-29-1-2 so I must have been on newer firmware. I flashed the magisk_patched and am rooted now.
[Moto Z3 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ch3mn3y:
It seems there is TWRP 3.3.1-1 with an Installer. Does it mean it can be flashed to recovery partition? Tried booting it, but got stuck on TWRP logo (3.3.1-0 boots fine).
[Moto Z3 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] heynando:
I haven't tested it myself, though you're correct, the installer .zip can be installed on recovery partition. To install the .zip, boot using a .img for example the 3.3.1-0, then use it to install the .zip in the recovery partition.

PS only do it if you have a reason to, I'm not sure if the firmware OTA checks the hashing of the recovery partition so altering it could potentially prevent you from installing OTAs of the official ROM.
[Moto Z3 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ch3mn3y:
It, unfortunately, does... However I csnnot update (continous update unsuccesful) :f Have to check if Xposed module is not a reason.

And You probably could use Installer to flash stock recovery? If not TWTP itself however I've never checked if one for Play has access to recovery partiotion to flash images. It should gave if it can be done using the installer...
[Moto Z3 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] heynando:
Me too and it drove me nuts, I did patch the /boot partition with the original file, but the OTA app still failed to install, even after reboot. And there's no useful data in the logcat to debug the app. So I gave up and had to use Titanium to freeze the OTA app otherwise it would keep trying to download and install infinitely.

It's probably not because I don't use it and the OTA method didn't work me either

Yes you're right, I agree there..
[Moto Z3 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ch3mn3y:
Just checked the inside of the installer zip file and it won't work. Still once every 3 months it wouldn't be a problem to connect device to PC and flash recovery.img with fastboot.

Is there a list with a commands and order how to flash Z3 Play images of official firmware? I want July patches and have some problems, so clean reflash is what I need.

Additional question is if I have to use "-u" when flashing second and other system images? Remember I had to do it with my X Play coz of unlocked bootloader and here I have one in the same state as well. If yes than could someone tell me where to put it, coz I'm not sure...

I installed Magisk with boot image patching using the retus zip available on lolinet that matched my build number. Everything was going swimmingly, except now I'm getting pop-up notifications that a software update failed.

I tried the magisk uninstall process to stock-ify my boot image, but the install still fails. All I can think of is that I modified my hosts file in /etc. Is /etc part of the system partition?
[Moto Z3 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] ch3mn3y:
Update manually using Fastboot. Just do not flash userdata and it will be an update. Remember that You need to flash MAGISK-patched kernel to have root. It can be made using boot image and device with working MAGISK Manager.

And yes. /ETC is part of the system partition. Why not mod hosts with MAGISK?
[Moto Z3 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] konifabu:
I didn't know I could mod hosts with magisk; all my know-how is from back in the SuperSu days.

Thanks for that speedy reply btw.

All I can say is that I dunno where it is stored, probably nowhere where we could take it and sure it's not an image.

Good afternoon people.

I recently performed a Dowgrade on an XT1929-5 to try to recover the functionality of SIM 1, which stopped working after an update and I was unfortunate enough to lose the connectivity of the two SIM cards and the MAC address of the wifi.

The device has lost all connection addresses except for Bluetooth.
