[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:
Can't really help you with that

If the firmware has been flashed correctly and you have erased user data the phone should boot (unless there is a hardware fault or corrupted sd card inserted that stops it booting)

My guess is there's a problem with your setup for flashing firmware but I can't help with that
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] vaibhavsirohi91:
should i try to flash a bit older firmware?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:
Firmware must be the same or newer than is what on your phone if you want to flash gpt and bootloader else you will get security downgrade errors
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] vaibhavsirohi91:
is there any way to access stock recovery or flashing stock recovery.....cause i am not able to access my stock recovery also

or if can unlock my bootloader without opening my phone
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:
How to enter stock recovery

1. With the phone powered off, press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time until the device turns on.

2. Press the Volume Down button until the flag next to the power button reads "Recovery mode"

3. Press the Power button to restart into Recovery mode.

4. You'll see an image of an Android robot with the words "No Command:".

5. While holding down the Power button, press and release the Volume Up button.

6. Use the volume buttons to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press the Power button to select it.

7. Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press the Power button to select it.

If you want to unlock the bootloader you would have previously needed to enable adb debugging from the dev menu in settings & (if applicable) enable oem unlock in settings
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] vaibhavsirohi91:
My stock recovery is also not accessable and i have not tick the oem unlock option
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:
Incorrect firmware flashing or setup will be to blame here most likely

All I can say is make sure gpt & bootloader flash without error and you have flashed all parts of the firmware in the correct order including erase userdata

Can't really help in any other way - watch a YouTube video of the process if you need further information
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] vaibhavsirohi91:
Link please and can't find a video in English
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:

Use the power of Google for guides or other sites

Does anyone know if this will be the last stock update? I can't find any official news about it, only about G5 Plus
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Lopwidth:
Hi,

I managed to lock my bootloader on my xt1675 reteu with OPPS28.85-13-6 which should be the latest for reteu.

I have question regarding IMIESV. I didnt erase modem1 and 2 in fear of losing IMIE. Before IMIESV said 7, now it is 14. Security update says 1. Feb 2019, no OTA update available.

Network is working. Im worried something is not right, though. No msg of modified phone when booting, and it is factory reset

Anyone can confirm this seems right?

Perfect. By downloading and installing the Oreo 8.1 ROM, I was able to install Lineage OS 18.1. Oreo is a prerequisite to 18.1. The script worked flawlessly.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] New Upgrader:
Hi everyone –

I have acquired a Moto G5 XT1675 (intended as a replacement backup for my daily G5). It runs Android 7 NPPS25.137.93.12 which I think is an update as at 1 Nov 2018 AFTER Fedray's article (below) was written.

I wish to upgrade this to 8.1 to have 2 identical phones and particularly as Android 7 will not run Skype 8 (and Skype 7 has been discontinued) – except perhaps as a web version.

Fedray has shown how to do this (1st August 2018) and I have found a video based on his work, step by step. It does, however, involve my going back to 25.137.2.5 (not covered by the video) and the link in the article to the file to do this no longer works.

Overall I need 3 files:

File 1. In my case, to take the G5 back to 25.137.2.5 (the patch dated July 2018) which is the starting point in the August article and seems to be very important given the nature of an ota.

File 2. The 8.1 ota as mentioned by Fedray; and

File 3. Minimal_adb_fastboot_v 1.4.2_setup.exe. I have downloaded v1.4.3 which is the latest version. I imagine this is no problem.

As to Files 1 and 2, all the places where they are said to be available no longer have them although I am still searching. It has occurred to me that perhaps someone might still have a copy or copies.

Has anyone please?

In case this route should fail, I have found and downloaded (from motostockrom.com but I see it now also at mirrors-obs-2.lolinet.com with same name) what appears to be a full version of 8.1 rather than an ota version? The file is about 1.4GB zipped and about 2.5 GB unzipped and contains 23 files.

The name of the zip file I have is:

XT1675_CEDRIC_RETGB_SS_8.1.0_OPP28.85-19-4-2_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

Different sites give short instructions as to how to use this, but assumptions are made and intermediate steps are sparse.

Does anyone know of a set of clear detailed instructions for someone to whom all this is new!!

Many thanks in advance.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] srahman53171618:
Don't know if this was for the same reason, but I was experiencing signal drops but only when I was home. i think it was because of wifi calling.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Questions & Answers] droidvark:
I updated EMUI 9 B160 to B182, did a factory reset and wipe and noticed Netflix didn't get updated. When I started Netflix, it said the app needed to be updated but the Playstore link it redirected to said the app is no longer supported on my device.

Netflix worked fine before.

I rooted it, backed up Netflix and the PartnerNetflixActivation from another EMUI 9 B160 device (yes I have 2, one is updated) and restored it on B182, but this doesn't help make Netflix work.

What's "funny" is that going to RR or OMNI Netflix won't work either.

Has anyone else updated to B182 and does Netflix still work?

How can I downgrade to 160 (or even to EMUI 8)? Guides with HiSuite don't work (no button to change version) and FunkyHuawei doesn't support the CMR-W09.

Hi there, I haven't done any rooting or unlocking boooaders or installing custom roms for years now. I just went and got my self a axon (had one when it first came out too.). Loved it and got a another one.

I want to have some fun. I need to know the following:

How could I unlock the bootloader

I need to install custom recovery

I want to overclock gpu and if possible the cpu

As I can see there are 3 versions of this phone, my device is as follows:

A2017G 64gb 4Gb ram

Build: A2017GV1.2.0B12

Android 7.1.1

Kernal 3.18.31

Security patch 1 July 2018

I would much appreciate it if I could get a full guide or different guides to complete my quest. I did see a few guides but they didn't state if it can work on my android version ect (didn't want to risk brick)

Thank you in advance
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] crackedvenom2:
So probably a stupid question and I'm guessing I already have the answer. When roms come out and we want to flash them, does that mean every single time any pictures, screenshots, downloads, etc I have on my phone I have to backup every single time? I'm guessing the answer is yes but I haven't had a phone without an external SD card slot. I also haven't had a new phone in a long time.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] jmtjr278:
The answer is no. Just don't wipe internal storage. Factory reset also does not wipe internal
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] panooos:
You don't have to as the internal storage does not get wiped. It is advisable however to back up every time that you fiddle with your system. Most of the times you won't need it...but there will be that one time that you will...

From twrp custom recovery. Which is what he was asking about. Please, don't be difficult.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] crackedvenom2:
Thank you. That seems to be similar to the regular side load but with TWRP it looks like. I was messing around with the regular side load the last couple days with Android Q. By the time roms come out, I'll be nice and ready with all the tips and messing around with it myself.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] jmtjr278:
I hope so. The pixel 2xl was notoriously difficult and finicky. What worked with my device may not work with the next. Hope that we don't have that kinda experience with the 3a
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] PhoenixPath:
Battery cases abound. I'd kill for a micro-SD case for the pixel phones. Throw a card in, put the case on, boom: internal storage. Wouldn't have to be too thick of a case, righter - they could probably make a decently thin case if all they are adding is the microSD slot and power/data passthru for the USB-C...

...or even a tiny flash-drive with US-C/Data passthru that I could just leave connected to the device.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] crackedvenom2:
Hopefully. I haven't had a good phone to flash roms in awhile. Really hoping we get some good ones on this. And it would be nice if it wasn't difficult like the 2xl problems you're talking about.

Man, that would be amazing. I'm still wondering if I'm gonna get a case. I'm usually really good with my phones.

oh another thing that comes in real handy when you dont have an sd card is a smb share or network drive/nas. i will move stuff to mine from my pc and then just move it to my phone using solid explorer(lots of other file managers support this too). works really fast, especially if you have a router that supports ac wireless

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] crash_194:
Dear all,

I'm currently running a stock S9+ on android pie, on the Virgin (VMNP using EE network) in the UK. I experience delays with WhatsApp and push gmail notifications very regularly.

From searching on the internet I have come across two common reasons. One of which suggests this is a Samsung One UI induced issue and a combination of Samsungs implementation of doze not working properly in the android Pie update.

The other reason suggests that Virgin is just a garbage network piggy backing on EE and they are throttling data based notifications for whatever reason?

Does anyone else have similar experiences to this and have you come across any possible solutions?

I have resorted to using Samsung email to solve the push notification problem, I just have it syncing every 15 mins which works perfectly fine and I actually prefer the app to Gmail. Battery impact is negledgable as well.

Any input here will be greatly received so thanks in advance!

My Google Pixel 3a is not carrier locked. It's an unlocked phone purchased from Google. My carrier is an MVNO and the hotspot feature fails to authenticate. For now I would like to keep the phone stock other than removing the carrier check.

Can I unlock the bootloader, root the phone, remove the hotspot carrier check, remove root, relock bootloader, and still be able to take over the air updates without losing the change?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] jmtjr278:
Pretty sure that process would leave you with a new paperweight. Relocking bootloader on a non stock device is dangerous. Just leave it unlocked. You can still take ota with an unlocked bootloader.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] ChrisFromSH:
I have the octa-core PX5 MTCD/E under the brand Eonon P/N GA9150B running the stock ROM and I'm trying to add a Gyro/Magnetometer (for a compass, navigation, roll/pitch/yaw, etc) and having a hell of a time.

I purchased a Bluetooth WitMotion BWT901CL and did the initial setup on my Galaxy S7 (Android 7) using their apk with no issues. When I connect the device over Bluetooth to the PX5, it shows up as an OBD scanner. I attempted to install the apk on the PX5 but it crashes upon startup.

I then decided to attempt using a USB connection and purchased a USB to TTL cable and ended up with nearly the same results. When I plug the WitMotion in, I get a "Which app do you want to use this device" message, either iBus (BMW app) or Torque. Neither which are going to help me.

Regardless of USB or Bluetooth, when I open a compass app, it tells me there is no Magnetometer in my device and closes. Same for Google Maps, Waze, etc.
