It's possible to extract/mount system.img from the OTA update?

Hey, can you check what firmware version the phone is now on? I'm trying to figure out what's the deal with the new firmware update that supposedly fixes the issue. Not sure if they officially released it for the U.S. model yet. Thanks!

edit: nvm, I see you fixed it by simply taking it apart and possibly by unplugging all the connectors. I initially thought you sent it in for repair. Whoops!

I just received an update for my US unlocked device 2.51.617.4 the old version was 2.51.617.1

I forgot to snag a screenshot but it only said system enhancements and the speakerphone issue is NOT fixed after updating people still cannot hear me on speakerphone.

This update had to have dropped in the US just today.

Can anyone else test it out?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Yusuke14:
I was able to snag the download url for the ota update

http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_IMAGINE_U...1.617.1_R6_release_5516457ir5xfjofsw01x1f.zip

Not sure what this fixes (my U12+ is rooted with Magisk and I can't install this just yet), but if anyone wants it, here is the latest US Unlocked update.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] i5lee8bit:
Here's a screenshot of the OTA notification, attached. Damn, I switched to Xfinity Mobile several months back (so I can't SIM swap to test), and I haven't received my Tracfone SIM card / activation kit yet (gonns use the U12 as a backup phone). It really does make me sad and lack hope though that it didn't work for you (in terms of the speakerphone fix). C'mon HTC USA!!!
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] David.k20z1:
I got the update for my us unlocked model too 2.51.617.4 it was around 101mb

Phone speakerphone mic issue has been fixed for me.

The tap to wake screen or powernbutton/fingerprint sensor delay is gone.

Phone just runs so much smoother all around and faster. before it would hesitate to open apps especially from lock screen.

I was told the kernel was updated , great job htc.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] pcjnyc:
I agree with you. Also, the security patch level is now August 1, 2020.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] i5lee8bit:
Awesome guys, thanks for the report! Looks like my SIM card arrives tomorrow, so this is perfect timing!

Are you running custom ROM too? (ViperU12 or LeeDrOiDU12?) Because those Magisk-based ROM's don't work on this update anymore, and likely won't be updated anytime soon, if ever. Just a very big FYI, if you ever decide to take the update, you probably won't be able to use those ROMs anymore. Also, did you perma-flash TWRP at all and/or modify the system partition at all? If not, you can very easily take the OTA and re-root right after, in just minutes. But again, those Magisk based ROM's don't work on these newer firmware updates (remember to disable them before updating, if you have them installed).

Anyway, I posted the stock system and boot images for this new 2.51.617.4 update, plus pre-Magisk-patched boot images (v20.4 and v21.0), plus a modified boot for booting into Magisk Core only mode (in case you bootloop after reflashing Magisk): https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=83754529&postcount=791

I also uploaded the 2.51.617.1 stock boot and system images a long time ago too, I believe. Let me know if you need those too!
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Yusuke14:
I'm not using any custom rom, I just used magisk to modify the boot image to get root.

As far as I know I haven't modified the system image, so I should just need to put back the original stock boot image, but just been procrastinating doing that.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Darknight007:
Sorry haven't checked this thread in a while. Yeah I fixed issue with a "battery pull". Told my wife to not update her u12 to the new firmware in case it breaks something else. Looks like most people are having good luck with it.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Darknight007:
Did it work for you yet? If not then you can consider doing a "battery pull" like I did on my wifes u12 which fixed the mic issue long before the update was released. I told her not to update to the new firmware for fear of it messing something else up.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Makaveli1490:
I finally got an update for the U.S that fixed the issue, but it seems after that I started having verizon circuits is busy issue. Couldn't call out, nobody could call me. I even reset the phone

Anyway, I finally left HTC. Its been a long time... a very long time, very long overdue. I went with the S10+. I've been enjoying it so far
[HTC Startrek] jbogstartrek:
I am still new to the forum, but love the work of Erofich and Gnat especially....my StarTrek is like new!! However, I have tried more than one cab and version for the Adobe LE, but no matter with one (currently the 2885XX version) PDF attachments and files will not open in Adobe LE. I have to open Adobe LE first and then browse to the file, which I had to save to Main Memory or Storage Card, in order to open and view the file. I presume there is some registry entry not made. I am not into hacking my registry, so is there a CAB which will associate the files?

Cingular 3125

[HTC Startrek] XtreMe_G:
you can use total commander and change the file association
[HTC Startrek] jbogstartrek:
Thank you for responding so quickly. However, what is Total Commander? Where is it? And if it is a program to be installed on the client, not sure that is possible.....the Smartphone is mine and I receive a stipend for it from the company, but the desktop is the company's. That is why CAB's are preferred.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] drozo8o8:
Hey,

i'd love to root the phone and get magisk and vipe4android working. Is this possible yet ?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] iPusak Gaoq™:
Not yet...we need TWRP first before we can think about rooting...
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] drozo8o8:
twrp for the cc9 wont work ?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] ErriK89:
Hello, I'm also waiting for twrp in order to root the phone. Is there any news about the release? The twrp of cc9e (if it's available) can work for mi a3?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] Typhus_:
Hello!

Well, it's possible to root without TWRP. I've done it already using Magisk manager to patch boot.img mannualy. There's a guide on Magisk XDA forum that explains how to do it.

But I had problems by doing this. First, after flashing the patched boot image, while rebooting, the phone went to Recovery and forced me to clear all user data. On second attempt, instead of "fastboot reboot" I've, instead, used "fastboot continue". The phone booted and Magisk was alive. But I've run to my second problem...lost my WiFi Mac Address and, without it, the phone lost the ability to connect to WiFi.

So I've reverted everything again by changing slot on fastboot to force the phone to boot on slot a (instead of b that was the one active by the time I've decided to try this method).

Since I was not in the mood for more trial and error, I've stopped my attempts here. The phone is now ok again, but without root.

If anyone is willing to try this method again, feel free to try yourselves if you want to. Here's a GitHub link to laurel_sprout_dump (where you'll get your hands on a stock boot.img / remove the spaces on the link):

h t t p s://github.com/AndroidDumps/xia omi_laurel_sprout_dump/tree/laurel_sprout-user-9-PKQ1.190416.001-V10.3.5.0.PFQEUXM-release-keys

But you've been warned. I run into the issues I've stated. It doesn't mean you'll run into those too but...still, you should only try this if you really know what you're doing. I've tried with boot.img from 10.3.4.0 branch. At the time there was only other branch (10.3.3.0). Now we have 10.3.5.0 as you may notice on the link. So I guess that one is good and legit (since it matches current version on my phone).

Oh, BTW, the phone boot time was increased when Magisk was active....

Good luck.

Cheers!

I have lost IMEI number after flashing Pie. On my Sprint Moto Z2 Force. Signal bar has turned grey and IMEI is showing as zero.

Wifi is working

Bluetooth is working

Barcodes in bootloader mode is showing some different IMEI no.

Downgrade to Stock Oreo or Naugat

If I downgrade to stock Oreo then I lost all wifi, sim and Bluetooth. Also no baseband found in bootloader.

Will appreciate if someone can help.

Thanks in advance.

If you have already flashed Pie Rom (including bl、 baseband), you will not be able to return to Oreo
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] R-T-B:
Hello.

I am trying to research the imei bricks on Sprint models after Verizon pie update. In short, everything we understand says this should not be happening, and yet it is.

Can you, for research purposes, describe the state of your device when you applied the update? Was it running full verizon firmware down to the bl, modem, and gpt? I may have an experimental fix but I need to gather more info about the bricks.

Also, it is impetative that you don't flash any further modems for my fix to have a good chance to work. Thanks.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] hqureshi:
Thanks for the message,

The device working fine, very super smooth and I can feel the difference.

The only think which is not working is cell phone and it's because of 0 IMEI number, currently I am on pie retail version (NASH_RETAIL_9.0_PPX29.159-19_subsidy-default_regulatary-DEFAULT_CFC.xml) downloaded from mirrors lolinet com / firmware / Moto / Nash / retail

Pls let me know if you want more info.

Thanks in advance.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] R-T-B:
What firmware did you flash from? Stock? Do you have an unlocked bootloader?

If yes to all the above, I can give you some experimental things to try.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] hqureshi:
Yes to all and bootloader is unlocked.

btw i have flashed firmware in this order

1. i flashed NASH_PPX29.159_19_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml

then

2. XT1789-06_NASH_RETIN_9.0_PPX29.159-19_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml

and now on

3. NASH_RETAIL_9.0_PPX29.159-19_subsidy-default_regulatary-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] R-T-B:
That's not ideal (the additional flashes) but what I have is still worth a try and you have nothing to lose.

The first thing we need is to boot twrp on the device using fastboot (get the latest .img here and fastboot boot twrp.img it). Once in twrp, immediately reboot to "EDL."

https://dl.twrp.me/nash/

Get drivers for qualcomm 9008 mode device if needed (should show in Windows device manager under "ports"):

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603862036

Then get the nougat blankflash here:

https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/nash/blankflash/blankflash_from_NDX26.183-15_17.zip

Extract and run the cmd inside. You may need to try a few times, on different usb ports. I heard usb 2.0 works best.

If it succeeeds, try flashing your stock firmware and see if imei is back.

Good luck. This is a real stretch but it just might work...

PS: This does have potential to completely brick your device. Please keep that in mind and weigh your options.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] hqureshi:
I have tried as per instruction but still getting the "baseband not found" status on all stock oreo & nougat firmwares. So when I flash Pie retail I get wifi and Bluetooth back with 0 IMEI status. so the situation is the same.

BTW I have read somewhere the 0 IMEI issue is related persist file/folder/. I may be able to share reference link of that discussion in a while. (Link of discussion)

Let me know if you want me to test anything else. Thanks again for your time. best

I can see the qualcomm device in twrp on my device manager. how to i get to edl mode. there is no reboot edl option in twrp. do i command fastboot reboot edl when device in twrp screen? when i run the qboot blank-flash it says wating for device
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] hqureshi:
Please use latest TWRP from here https://dl.twrp.me/nash/ load it using fastboot and the in TWRP click reboot and select EDL.

Let me know if you face any issue.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] un1ocked:
i'm on the same boat

no celluler, no IMEI

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
Everyone keeps trying to flash pie firmware that isn't for their variant and this is the result, no baseband. Plus once you upgrade to a pie modem, you can't go back to an oreo modem. Maybe something will come along and remedy that, that's a big maybe too. The devs are trying to find a solution, but there just might not be one. You can't blankflash your way out of it, and if you're not careful you can brick your phone for real. Not 9008 brick, paperweight. Not trying to be an ass, just trying to warn others. If it isn't pie for your phone, don't flash it.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] R-T-B:
Blankflash doesn't work anyways.

I have tried this in this sequence but still zero IMEI.

1. Nougat Blank flash

2. Flashed Stock Verizon Oreo and then staying in bootloader mode I flashed above Pie Update using Flash-All batch file.

Phone successfully booted with Verizon sim activation warning but IMEI was 0.

I am in the same situation. Is here any one who could share persist folder from working device?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] robdevil:
My BT and WiFi is down also no IMEI or any files in folder where used to be sim lock file. I've tried to flash various baseband and firmwares and nothing helped so far. Pie modem firmware screwed it all. I've had full RETEU 8.0 firmware and all worked. I think it was damaged due to sim lock. My phone has no IMEI but say incorrect SIM card even without SIM.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
What about a legitimate network unlock from sprint, or a 3rd party who can provide an unlock code.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] robdevil:
It was unlocked by free method therefore can not be unlocked again. I'm sure it will go back to same status as it was before if baseband files will be recovered.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
I thought that when you network unlock you blow an efuse, or at least throw some flag that says this is network unlocked, as opposed to modifying files and tricking the system. Either way, it was just a thought.

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
I didn't think oreo blankflash worked for our phone, at least it hasn't in the past. The way I understood it is our phone shipped with a nougat pbl, and that can't be modified. It can be re-flashed if it corrupted, but it can only be nougat since it can't be modified. I might be wrong, that's just what I understood and have seen in the past from those who tried an oreo blankflash.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] fast69mopar:
I have never been able to use the Oreo blankflash on my XT1789-04. This device shipped with Nougat like most. When I have run the Oreo blankflash it always failed.

Now, with that being said, the Oreo blankflash allowed me to recover from no baseband 2 days ago. I did not flash Pie to cause the loss of baseband. The blankflash failed as usual but it did something for me that allowed me to run Uzephi's flashall utilities with 27.1.7 and it was successful restoring my baseband.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
On most basband losses, the remedy is simply flashing the correct the modem for your variant, then booting into recovery and doing a factory reset. Has to be recovery factory reset, not from settings. Uzephi pointed that out to me, he said it was voodoo, but it works lol. Keep in mind this is all oreo based, no pie involved. Not to discredit you but maybe the oreo blankflash did the same thing? Either way, the more remedies we can come up with the better, and we have another option to try when the case needs be. Pie is it's own beast and once you hit pie you're pretty much dedicated to it.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] fast69mopar:
Don't worry man. I took no offense to your post. I didn't thing you were trying to discredit me. I always look for your post while reading the threads.

I haven't been able to figure out why I could not flash the modem for the firmware I was using. No matter how many times I flashed it it did not give me a baseband after a factory reset in recovery. The Oreo blankflash, even though it failed many times it finally allowed me to flash-all back to stock and recover my baseband. I sat here at my laptop for 2 1/2 days going over so many different flash-all combinations and building my own flash-all. When running the flash-all's or building my own, they would all complete without any errors. The only error I received was in the Oreo blankflash. No matter what modem I flashed or what firmware version I tried to install nothing would work. I would flash a modem, boot to recovery and factory reset and I still would not have a baseband. It may be a fluke thing of how I was able to recover my baseband but it worked for me. If I can share the info to help some other user recover their baseband then I'm all for it.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
There has been a lot of nonsense with TMO's 27.1.7 update. I haven't updated my stock in awhile, I may still be on .3 or .4 but no higher for sure. From what I gather when you flash .7 all is well on stock, but if you try to run customs it gets ****y. Of course our customs are pie based now and have been for awhile now. It's like moto or tmo is trying to lock it down. That's my impression at least. I know everyone is trying to find the source and/or a modem that will work for TMO. Hybrid Sprint is another mess, Verizon seems to be the most complete firmware ever released, but it's Verizon. ATT hasn't even been a thought, I feel for them. All I know is for the moment everyone should only flash pie if it's actually for their variant because it is killing modems and phones. I think moto just wants to sweep the Z2 under the rug. They honored the Verizon deal I guess, now it's like goodbye.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] fast69mopar:
I completely agree. Once TMO and MOTO and the other carriers in the United States decided against releasing 9.0 Pie for the Z2 Force, it does appear that they just want to wash their hands of the Z2 Force and be done with it. Like you said, I feel sorry for the AT&T users. They got the raw end of the deal.

I am actually running 27.1.7 now with TWRP installed and Magisk 19.3 and so far it is running good.

When it comes to people flashing Pie ROM's to their devices without an official Pie release, these are just the ones we hear about or read about in the forum. Think about all the users out there who do not use XDA or other forums who have flashed a damn Pie ROM and are no stuck with it until a working modem is found.
