Since someone asked Sprint, to get 9.0 on your sprint, following the steps:

1, get RETIN 9.0(XT1789-06_NASH_RETIN_9.0_PPX29.159-19_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip), and the latest Sprint 8.0(XT1789-03_NASH_SPRINT_8.0.0_OCXS27.109-48-20_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip)

2, unzip both ROM, find a copy of mfastboot, a copy of TWRP(use nash's TWRP)

3, copy the boot.img from RETIN 9.0 to your phone's sdcard

4, wipe your phone(data + cache)

5, use mfastboot flash following files from RETIN 9.0:

mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
mfastboot flash system_b system_other.img
mfastboot flash oem oem.img
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear

6, use mfastboot flash following files from Sprint 8.0(!!!BECAREFUL, DO NOT FLASHED FOLLOWING FILES FROM 9.0!!!):

mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
mfastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear

7, boot into TWRP

mfastboot boot YOUR_TWRP_FILE_PATH

8, use TWRP to flash the boot.img(step 3) to 'boot'

9, reboot

Well, I am happy on 9.0, but not happy to lost google pay(yea I know there is magisk hide)

I followed your steps one by one but it's not working

it doesn't go past moto splash screen i did a factory reset using twrp and still not working
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] Hibinoh:
Hmm... Shouldn't all unlocked Sprint the same? It worked for me with one try. Does TWRP version matters? I was using "mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/twrp/nash/twrp-3.2.3-0-R1-nash.img". It does take few minutes first boot(yellow moto logo rotating at blue background) since it is all wiped.

After the flash BL & Baseband version should looks like attached image.

Oops, the

"mfastboot flash flash dsp adspso.bin"

should be

"mfastboot flash dsp adspso.bin"

I typed "flash" twice

Quick question. I have a Verizon software Z2 Force, but I am using an ATT simcard. No Pie Update showing yet, will I get it with the ATT sim? Or do I need to borrow someone's Verizon sim to get the OTA? I tried the PC Update software just now and it told me I was up to date with the May firmware as well...
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigBrad75:
I'm in the exact same boat as you. Seems like there are a veeery few of us that still haven't received OTA/update software says up to date. I'm also using AT&T sim card. At first I thought that might be the problem but multiple ppl are reporting successful updates despite AT&T service. Tho technically my sim is threw TracFone, which is an MVNO of AT&T. I wonder if this might have something to do with it? I'm honestly friggin stumped at this point. I wish somebody could pop up and tell us definitively what's going on exactly.

Same question here.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] R-T-B:
I have an active Verizon SIM & subscription and am still not getting it. Some of us just seem to be being delayed for some reason...
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] BigBrad75:
I'm in the exact same boat as you guys. Another guy that's in the same boat as us is like me and lives out in the sticks where we will most likely not see 5G for a minimum of ten years. So we were thinking maybe we were being Geo-Targeted out so to speak, since the main reason the VZW Z2F still managed to get the pie update was thanks to it being necessary for the 5G Moto Mod to work.... Are u guys also out in the middle of nowhere? Or in major cities?

Btw I know of several ppl that, like us, were using their AT&T sim card in their phone and still received the OTA right away when everyone else did
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] xtrabet:
It's kind of stupid and this Pie update is chaotic. I actually lives in China and using UIM card from local carrier, and this device got some users here. Some of the guys are also using Chinese UIM but they successfully got this update with VPN connection to Brazil. Tried, it's still a waste of time. And last night I chatted with Verizon CS, the staff told me using Verizon Update Assistant on PC will need a direct connection to Verizon signal. So..
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] 41rw4lk:
I would try pulling from the lmsa tool everyday. I'm not sure when they post updates but sooner or later it should be there. Obviously this isn't so much helpful, but if I were on Verizon I'd check otas and lmsa tool daily. Back in the Atrix days there was a program that sniffed moto test servers, I wish we had something like that again.

i did flashing all files from RETAIL firmware to my SPRINT, resulting bootloop and no baseband found
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] urbex:
Well, the post was pretty clear in saying not to flash all of the RETAIL firmware to a Sprint phone...what you got was exactly what happens when all of the firmware gets flashed, instead of replacing some of the RETAIL with SPRINT files....

Good luck fixing that. Seems most people end up having to replace the phone after making that mistake.

[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] tonochito:
I have a question as the Sprint variant can be SIM unlocked easily and rooted... I ordered a used one off ebay because mine went battery blown and i was thinking the Pie update was going to be official, now i see it can be done but manually. So if i unlock again the SIM could it be relocked?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] clogoodie:
Did you ever get the Verizon Pie firmware flashed onto your Sprint Z2 Force?

I've been following your directions from this post for previous firmware updates, and it's been smooth and painless. Assumed it would be no different for the Pie firmware, but mention of bricks is giving me pause. Would love to get a positive report!
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] deffensp:
Just wondering if anyone had an experience / advice before I mess up my wife's phone. It is Z2 Sprint model, converted to Verizon. I did the following fresh out of the box:

1) Free sim unlock

2) Manually flashed up to XT1789-03_NASH_SPRINT_8.0.0_OCXS27.109-48-6_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml

3) At the time, I was having a hard time finding info on converting to Verizon, so I just decided to gamble and did a straight flash to the full Verizon firmware from there using XT1789-01_NASH_VERIZON_8.0.0_ODXS27.109-34-17-3-3_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.

That was a full flash, including the gpt and the Verizon radios. (NOT a hybrid flash with some Sprint stuff, some Verizon stuff.

Everything worked great. It even took a Verizon OTA shortly after the flash. I didn't root initially, but flashed Magisk a month later because Netflix wouldn't work. (That was the only thing that didn't work, and even though the widevine level was showing up as 1, I still had to use the Magisk module fix to get it working.)

The Pie update came to the phone and downloaded, but would not complete the install. It did loose root in the process, and, oddly, Netflix still works and widevine is back to L1.

Anyway, from the bits and pieces of info I've picked up, am I right in assuming that doing a straight flash from full Verizon Oreo to full Verizon Pie is going to be trouble? Was/Is anyone else running a full Verizon firmware on the Sprint variant already, including all Verizon partitions and radios? I'm not sure I want to mess with a hybrid flash at this point, as I am already 100% Verizon on it.

Thanks in advance for any advice or warnings.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] KOAO:
I am glad you are getting use out of that post! : D. I am about to flash the Pie update right now, so I will report back in a bit to see how it goes.

Unfortunatetly I've flashed Pie 9.0 modem, how can i get it back ?

My variant is Sprint.

Please help. Thanks
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] clogoodie:
So what did happen in your Pie attempts? At some point, you posted about success with the Verizon software update tool, no? I followed your lead at that point, and it initially looked successful. I'm wondering if your experience matches mine?

My experience:

The tool did install Pie successfully, and my phone was fully functional, connected to the Verizon network with a Verizon SIM. Thinking I was now in the clear, I decided to do a factory reset in order to get a clean install of Pie. After the reset is when I lost IMEI. I couldn't connect to any network, and had no idea why, but after looking at new posts on the forum, dug into the settings and confirmed my IMEI was now blank. Everything else is fine- WiFi works, Bluetooth works. This is where I am now...and that's fine. I'd liketo get the network working again, but it's a secondary device and I can live with it being WiFi only.

What I find extremely curious is that I was able to connect to the Verizon network on Pie at all. Was the modem not flashed during the software update, but only flashed when I did the factory reset? Is this information of any value towards potentially arriving toward a solution?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] KOAO:
Well I used the Pie updater and just like you it worked for a bit, before it stopped. It worked for all of 20 minutes before it hard locked and a restart wiped the IMEI. At this point some of the devs are still trying to figure out why the radios killed the Sprint Z2, with my sprint one being sold for little more than scrap price.

The new modem seems to have had something to do with it but that's all the wisdom I have on the subject. We'll have to wait and see if it ever gets fixed. Here is to hoping it does.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] lip008:
I've flashed a few ROMs over time to various phones. I've never bricked a phone but it is something that requires a lot of reading and double checking to make sure I'm doing it right. Last phone I tinkered with was the Nuclea ROM on the Pure. Reading this thread makes my head hurt. Just like the Pure I love the Z2 Force. I'm spoiled now by how thin it is. The pixel 3 XL feels like a brick compared to this device. My question is for anyone doing this update to Pie what is the benefit vs. all the risks? Is Moto pushing monthly or quarterly security updates? That's the only reason why I want to update. To keep getting security updates.
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] takota6:
Verizon moto rarely pushes any updates for this device, the benefit here is pie. Me personally the next device will be either a Chinese cheap or a Google pixel, that way root isn't an issue, so much we miss out on not having root
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] techware7:
You think volte is enabled with this? what about wifi calling? Don't think neither will work right on sprint right?
[Moto Z2 Force  Guides, News, & Discussion] urbex:
I replaced my Z2F with a Pixel 3a after this Pie debacle with Moto...and honestly, I feel Google isn't that far removed from Apple with their phones any more. If I wasn't so dependent on dual SIM functionality with Sprint + Verizon, I likely would have ditched the Pixel line too.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CableGriM:
Hello everyone,

I have searched but have been unable to find an answer so I will ask the question :)

Is it possible to Prioritize a Cellular connection over a Wifi connection?

The main reason for this question is that we are running many Rugged android devices with a PTT application on them and when they connect to a buildings Wi-Fi network it can be congested and cause poor results. So we are looking to have the Android PTT devices connect primarily to Cellular and then when they drop Cellular signal as they head into a basement or a blackspot etc, it will search for a pre-configured Wi-Fi network and then connect it to until the Cellular network is available again.

Pretty much, we would like to know if its possible to get them to work in reverse. Prioritize Cellular over Wi-Fi rather than the default prioritize Wi-FI over Cellular.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated :)

Cheers.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sano1:
Hello good people of XDA,

I come again, seeking assistance from the knowledge y'all have acquired with rooting and "fixing" android devices.

This time, my adventures have landed me in a position of owning a Galaxy Tab4 8" model SM-t330nu. And I purchased it with

the intent of rooting it and playing with different custom roms, and making it function better as I know Samsung devices are full of bloatware.

I was able to purchase the tablet relatively inexpensive, but soon found it to be super laggy and slow, though I do not know the issue, unless it's to do with the age of the device being 5 years old. I have traversed through the pages of the Tab and have learned that it is not much supported in terms of custom firmware, and not even TWRP is available for it. This made me sad.

The last time I had rooted a device was quite some time ago, so I have forgotten a lot of the processes. If it would not be too much, can someone guide me in the direction of an available rom as well as a custom recovery so that I may flash my rom. And since I have become rusty, if there exists a step by step guide? I am really good at those

Thank you all for reading

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] beyondx4:
I have just purchased and installed an Android 9.0 Navigation / DVD head unit for my 2010 Toyota Camry. The system is very snappy and came pre-loaded with many useful programs; one of which is the iGO navigation app. Another app on there I was glad to have is Google Maps. After the completion of the installation, I road tested the navigation software and found out the iGO navigation app worked very well. I then tried the pre-installed Google Maps to navigate; it was able to track the GPS receiver to pinpoint my location right away; however, Google Maps attempts to re-route continuously (like every 5 seconds or so) as I drive towards the destination. I'm not able to stop it from doing this; it's so frustrating and is unusable as a navigator.

Does any forum member have a clue to what is happening to my head unit? I thought I might've been able to get away with just using the Google offline maps, but I suppose an active mobile data connection is required? Thank you. :confused:

KDZ: I have tried US99820H, 20A, 10C but the result is same.

My device was root before try pie beta. Bootloader is unlocked.

And don't know about recovery.

Please help me brother, I'm in real trouble.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Wait. EU H930 is incompatible with US998 20H.

Do you have more than one phone? Because yesterday you were all over the EU H930 Pie thread, flashing that KDZ repeatedly on your phone.

You should never flash European firmware over North American variants and vice versa.

Here a couple of weeks ago you said you have H931:

So, why were you flashing EU H930 Pie on your phone yesterday? You are going to brick your phone.

If you indeed do have H931 (which seems to be the case, since you say it's "AT&T"), then you need to go back to Frankenstein and start over. Flash US998 Nougat, Master Reset, then US998 Oreo and STAY there until North American Pie is released.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jamey090:
Thank you brother, but I have tried US998 nougat already but bootloop is happening. And sorry, my mistake, my phone is At&T 931
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
You need to do the Master Reset after flashing US998 Nougat to stabilize it. Until then you will get bootloop. That's why Master Reset is there.

To me, at least, it seems you aren't following the instructions.
