[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Jglynx:
i cant enable the developer option.

i had installed DotOs running android 11, but i had wanted to change that ROM to LinageOs 18.1 to proube it, so I donwload LinageOs and I put it inside the internal storage of my phone, after I get into TWRP and I flash it the ROM (LineageOs) but i forgot to flash TWRP again because i did think that TWRP will work it with out problem but when i try to get into TWRP i cant do it, so I try to activate the developers option to flash TWRP image again, but i cant enable it. I attached a short video with the problem. excuse me by my english
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] ah-le-le:
Hello.

I was recently given a used T-Mobile Moto G5 Plus that was fully up-to-date with Android 8.1 and has the last official security patch from August 2019.

My initial plan was to try crDroid 7.20 since this a newer operating system with later security patches. I even unlocked the bootloader via Motorola's website.

Then, I started to read about the problems people had with losing their IMEI's and losing VoLTE.

I am not an advanced linux user and can only understand probably half of what is being said in these threads. Most of what I know about flashing this devices is from Youtube videos where it seems so easy & they always end up with a result with no glitches or bugs.

Anyway: would you suggest still I try using a 3rd-party ROM, or should I just forget the whole thing and use the Android 8.1 stock ROM for less risky online tasks?

My biggest concern is that screwing up the IMEI and VoLTE seems to be pretty common, and there is no guaranteed way of fixing it. Both a proper IMEI and working VoLTE would be essential as I would put the device on a T-Mobile mvno.

Thanks for any replies.

Hey dude did you got any solution? Even I'm facing same issue sadly most of the moto phones user are facing it why don't they officially release some tools to revive the devices instead of this they will say you have to replace motherboard they just do the business 🙄😑
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] GuestK00279:
So I had changed my OP7Pro data to F2FS upon trying out a new Kernel(arter) but Windows now won't allow me to copy anything to or from my phone. It does read it but the data transfer from one end to another is just non existent. Has anyone else done this and faced the same or similar issue?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jhofseth:
I think it's possibly related to sdcardfs using vfat.

You may want to troubleshoot by flashing the blu_spark and seeing if the same issue occurs. https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7-pro/development/kernel-t3944179
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] GuestK00279:
thanks I will give it a try today I'd prefer to use F2FS because of the noticible performance increase lol
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Paz9:
there should be no noticeable performance increase...

ive had not problems using f2fs on my windows machine
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] GuestK00279:
I definitely noticed it the first time I had converted it to F2FS... obviously the 7 pros performance is already near perfect but a jump to changing the data format was very noticeable to me anyway
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Paz9:
what did you notice? are you on stock kernel?

i did benchmarks before and after and there no difference (with EXT4 nobarrier option) the benchmarks were the same on stock kernel.

i didnt notice any fast app openings or anything, and im fairly sensitive to things like that

have you also removed encryption?

i remember doing that on my OP6, i think i kept it on ext4 but removed encryption, noticed a nice bump.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] GuestK00279:
I had removed encryption yes, and I definitely noticed faster app openings and when when making selections on menu items even with animations on it was instant. that's why I wanted to keep f2fs, but I tried again and my laptop still won't allow transferring items between it and my phone so I was able to get msmtool to work after a bit of tinkering with drivers(still wouldn't copy but msmtool worked)
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Paz9:
I don't believe f2fs is causing the perceived increase in performance.

I would say it's the encryption status.

however I'd suggest trying another kernel

at least that way you can pull your data and make a back up

have you tried in TWRP?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] GuestK00279:
I'm going to try Kirasuke kernel(I think that's the name) I'm downloading it now
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] ram4ufriends:
It might be because of f2fs... I am not able use data in TWRP also when using f2fs.. I had to use OTG to copy files and flash
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Pfeffernuss:
Data works fine in TWRP using F2FS :good:
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] KapilNagpal01:
Brother could you suggest me how to remove encryption. I want to try it based on your suggestion.

Please also if possible pls suggest any cons you have in mind in case encryption is removed. Thanks in advance
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] GuestK00279:
I've been having issues removing encryption, sometimes it sticks, sometimes it doesn't unfortunately... maybe if you look around on xda you can find someone who knows completely I use tool all in one which you can find in the 0P7 forums :)

i see this guid https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...-without-losing-internal-storage-data.439999/

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Master Melab:
My bootloader-unlocked Google Pixel runs Android Pie and it uses file-based encryption. Both system partitions are unmodified.

In an effort to get TWRP to successfully decrypt my Pixel's encrypted data, I performed a combination of:

Renaming these files (i.e., appending .bak to their names):

/data/system/gatekeeper.password.key
/data/system/gatekeeper.pattern.key
/data/system/locksettings.db
/data/system/locksettings.db-shm
/data/system/locksettings.db-wal

Copying the files back to their original names.

Setting and removing a lock pattern/password/PIN.

Now, my Pixel does not move past the "Pixel is starting" page. I can access Settings, but I have no access to my applications and files. How do I fix this so that I can get it to move past "Pixel is starting"?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TENN3R:
I once ran into this issue, it has something to do with fingerprint and encryption, somehow it unlocks but it won't decrypt.

The only solution I've found is to wipe the device. Since you can power on the device, I suggest you to backup what you can with adb or from twrp, and do an advanced wipe, with even "format data" enabled (warning: you lose also /sdcard files), then reflash the stock factory image from fastboot.

This should remove the corrupted lock files and set it up like new.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Master Melab:
Hang on. Did you skim my post? I'm trying to get it to decrypt or, if the decryption is not the problem, just get past "Pixel is starting" and get to my things on it. Wiping it won't fix that!

Fingerprints are not used to decrypt the device.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Master Melab:
Bump.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Master Melab:
Anyone else? What could be the cause of this? Would it give an error message if it couldn't find the right files?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Master Melab:
Are you there?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Master Melab:
Were you able to recover your data?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] TENN3R:
Unfortunately not. I just wiped the device, maybe there is some way but I really don't know. Wiped and setup again
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Master Melab:
Someone please help.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] SnowFuhrer:
Wipe your phone maybe.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] sudoxd:
what is wrong with you all you needed to do to decrypt in twrp is disable your lock screen security, none of this other bull**** lmao.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Master Melab:
Please help.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Master Melab:
That won't achieve the desired result as I'm trying to recover my data.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Master Melab:
First, I got into this mess by trying to get that to work. Second, how is this a solution?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] sudoxd:
it is a solution, unless there is something wrong with your phone which is caused by an entirely different issue, to access your data in twrp all you needed to do was disable your lock screen security
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] NZedPred:
Unfortunately I don't think there's a way you can do it. The issue the OP is facing is that the system is unable to decrypt your user data at all, regardless of whether or not you are in TWRP or Stock Android, Stock Recovery, etc.

Trying to read between the lines on the AOSP File-based encryption https://source.android.com/security/encryption, your data is always encrypted - regardless of whether or not you have some security set (pin, password, etc). It's just a matter of whether or not the pin etc is part of the metadata used in the decryption. When you altered the security files that stored the information, you lost the ability to decrypt (probably the files have additional information that is passed with your pin to unlock the encryption keys). Removal of the files needed to be done within the system by removing the security, not by removing the files whilst it is encrypted. (Sorry if this isn't exactly what happened, it's hard to tell the exact sequence of events from the OP, i.e. whether or not it was all done in system, and when reboots were done.)

I did something like this before, and got the same result. Sorry but you'll have to rely upon the latest Google backups you had...
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Master Melab:
I've tried, but I am unable to follow all of it.

I'm aware of that.

The files I touched have nothing to do with decryption, only unlocking.

Could you please explain what you did?
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] NZedPred:
And unlocking on first boot is used to.... decrypt your device (or specifically the /data/data folder, and probably other folders). As I say, it is most likely that the pin/password has been successful in unlocking your device, but there is something that was depended on to decrypt your device that no longer matches what is expected. This is why you (and I when this happened to me) are stuck on 'Pixel is starting'.

What did I do when I got into that situation? I bit the bullet and formatted the data partition and started again.

Only other suggestion I have is to use the latest TWRP for Marlin and see if that is able to decrypt with your original pin. It's a few steps ahead of the latest sailfish version. It may work, may not...

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
My guess would be the phone had the bootloader unlocked and someone has re-locked it.

Either this process was done wrong or the phone has tried to do an ota update whilst having unsigned firmware and a locked bootloader.

As the bootloader is locked there's no way of flashing firmware.

All firmware I've seen that you download have unsigned boot.img - if you relocked the bootloader using this you're asking for trouble which is why you should never relock the bootloader.

I would say your only solution is a motherboard replacement unless you have specialist hardware/software like a jtag to soldier connections directly onto the main board to flash firmware onto it (note a jtag costs more than this phone)

my moto g5 only charges after shutting down and continues charging until it is disconnected, then it need to shut down again to charge again.

I have tried A LOT of the things on all of the internet, cleaning the pin, safe mode, soft reset, hard reset, factory mode, and none of these work, also the usb connection to a computer worked on fastboot but then adb doesnt detect it at all.

I'm having problems installing this. I keep getting connection error 260. It starts to install and only goes to 1% and then my phone resets. Anybody know what the problem is. Could it be because of HardSPL. I am using 4.70 Yang.

EDIT: I found a solution to the problem and it was due to the spl, it had to be reversed. What i did was extract spl.nbh and RUU_signed.nbh from the stock rom .exe file using WinRAR. I placed these two files in the ruu folder of the herald uspl flash center. I then ran herald-uspl and this flashed me back to the stock spl and the new t mobile rom.

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] armyboi4id:
So heres my input on this ROM... For me it has been garbage. I have flashed it three times today and I keep having the same problem. After resetting It freezes completely at the windows mobile screen. Ive tried soft resetting numerous times and taking the battery out and putting it back in (power cycling) and it just keeps doing the same thing over and over again. This may be from one of the third party software I put on it that I usually use or it may just be another no good T Mobile ROM, so I will be reflashing back to my usual open touch 3.0 biggy.
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] PURESKILLZZZ:
Did you read my reviews on these roms mate ?
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] armyboi4id:
Yeah I've read your thread dedicated to rom reviews but I didnt see a review for the T Mobile rom. But its okay I like to try things out.
