[Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers] lcmp:
I will try to be as brief as possible, but explain in detail what happened to my moto g 6 plus XT1926-7.

I was running the stock firmware from the:

RETLA

Channel from march 27, 2019:

XT1926-7_EVERT_RETLA_9.0_PPWS29.116-11-2

I unlocked the bootloader using the info provided by motorola.

I used a TWRP installer which I found in this website and successfully installed twrp 3.2. I quickly realized that this version did not decrypt the data partition.

No problem, using the boot command in fastboot, I can load TWRP 3.3 which does decrypt the data partition.

I installed magisk V19.2

I then installed 2 magisk modules:

Viper equalizer

Pixel 3 ( something ) which makes the UI a little nicer.

The phone worked with no problems for months until the July OTA "update unsuccessful" nag screen started showing up every 10 seconds.

I read from several sources that an unlocked bootloader phone from motorola won´t take OTA updates. Fine. I lived with it for a couple of weeks until the nagging screen became unbearable.

I decided to unroot, relock the bootloader get the OTA and move on with my life.

I uninstalled magisk from the magisk manager and the phone immediately went into boot loop.

I´ve been using TWRP for years now with several phones, and each time i´ve had a problem, i just restored from the last backup ( which i do at least once a month ) and move on.

This time i used the full twrp backup from a couple of weeks ago, but it didn´t work.

The phone still bootlooped. It either rebooted at the "verity disabled" screen or it went straight into TWRP 3.2

I decided to use the original backup i did several months back when i first installed magisk and it didn´t work either. First time in years that a TWRP backup didn´t work.

I read in several threads on several websites that the only thing left to do was to flash stock rom from motorola in fastboot basically file by file.

So I did it and flashed the original stock rom for my device from the RETLA channel:

XT1926-7_EVERT_RETLA_8.0.0_OPWS27.113-89-5

The phone booted into android but both IMEI and wifi mac address were gone. So no carrier signal and no wifi.

I read from several threads that a backup from the EFS and persist partitions would solve this, so I tried both backups of these partitions i had, but nothing worked.

fastboot would read the IMEI number with the get vars command, but android would not recognize them.

Then i found a post here from a couple of days ago of a person who had the same problem and by flashing the latest stock rom fixed this.

So i downloaded:

XT1926-7_EVERT_RETLA_DS_9.0_PPWS29.116-11-6

from the RETLA channel and again proceeded to flash via fastboot file by file.

this time android booted and it did load the both IMEIs and the wifi mac address BUT, wifi disconnects every 10 seconds and the carrier signal is worse.

I then tried the lenovo assistant as suggested in another thread in this website and used the flash / recover feature. Same thing happened. android boots but wifi signal is lost every 10 seconds and carrier signal gets cut off at regular intervals and is very weak.

This has rendered my phone basically useless. I had been using a Moto G2 for many years with no problem and i bought this one just a couple of months ago.

I don´t mind flashing the phone again, and i´m good at following step by step procedures.

It would be super cool if someone would point me in the right direction on how to fix this.

Thanks in advance
