[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] chanoman66:
FYI, From my unfortunate experience, DON'T ATTEMPT to swap G930F or G930W boards into any US models. The circuitry is slightly different. It goes together ok, but kills the touchscreen functionality on the board when powered. Board is then junk. If you have different S7s apart at the same time, you can see that the microUSB module connections are not interchangeable.

I successfully swapped boards between G930F & G930W, and between G930V & G930VL. I believe I also swapped between G930A & G930T, but it's been a while. I haven't done swaps on any other versions.

I do have a good G930V phone minus board and a good G930U board. G930U has both GSM & CDMA capability. I'd like to mate them if possible. Has anyone done this? I don't want to kill the board by winging it. If I get a complete donor G930U for comparison, I may attempt it, and post back.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] IconBoy:
Searching on Amzn for Pixel 3 XL renewed devices and I don't know how to tell if the bootloader is locked (to Verizon) or unlocked.

I heard something about the unlocked version IMEI starting with 9900 but when a phone is listed on Amazon, the person isn't going to show the IMEI.

Any way to tell when reading the item description?

Thanks

(I guess I can also send a message and ask but was hoping to get device next day).
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] micfogas:
Dont quote me on this, but Ive read on Google's site that only the Verizon model is locked. Not surw about IMEI or anythibg. I got mine directly from google so its unlocked. If it's not Verizon, its not locked. I brliev3 the newer Verizon ones are also not locked but like i said, dont quote me on it. just avoid a Verizon version and you should be good.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
You need the IMEI to be sure. 99 is Google, 35 is Verizon. When they say unlocked they mean SIM unlocked, so you can use it on any carrier. All of the Pixels I have seen purchased on Amazon are the bootloader locked versions. A couple have been unlockable, but it is super rare.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
I've bought 3 Pixel phones and a 6P on Amazon. Usually on Amazon Prime Day. All were new and unlocked. That being said, in the link you provided if you go to "questions" you will see the Seller giving the model number as VZPI3XL64JB. Looks to be a Verizon phone to me, and that means bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked. Keep looking and you will find the right one.

Maybe your proximity sensor isn't working correctly.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] sd_shadow:
I agree the proximity sensor could be the likely culprit.

Could try a factory reset, or reflashing the firmware.

or even booting into safe mode, to see if an app is causing it.

How to modify the build.prop file in order to skip device incompatibility?

I want to install Teamfight Tactics in my phone, buy it says it's incompatible. I want to at least try bypassing it and see if it works. I tried changing it to a Moto Z4, but it didn't work. Then I tried changing it to a Samsung Galaxy S9+ with the data I found somewhere in xda. This time, it wouldn't boot. I had to restore the system folder to what I had it before rooting, and I lost the root in the process. When I root it again, how should I change the device model?

I re rooted it now but I can't log in into my Google account, Google Play services keeps stopping.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
First of all you should tell us how you changed your device fingerprint to a Moto Z4/S9+. Maybe the way would be to reverse this method. "With the data I found somewhere on XDA" is a bit vague.

Did you use the magisk module Magisk Hide Props Config?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Sperguze:
I only changed two lines, ro.product.model and ro.product.manufacturer. For the Z4, I just changed the first one to Moto Z4, and for the S9+ I found a complete build.prop file in the forum and I changed my file to what it said there (only those two lines).

No, I didn't use that Magisk module. However, now the situation is kinda different, I made a new post about it. I have to solve that before even trying to do this again, so help there would be appreciated.

Moto g5 plus 4gb of ram

Hello, I have been looking everywhere to understand how I can tell *BEFORE* I purchase a moto g5 plus phone for the purposes of rooting if it is eligible for BL unlock.

I have been to the official moto website where it lists that G5 Plus "can" be unlocked but there are many different versions of the G5 Plus that cannot be unlocked. What do I need to look for to understand if the phone is eligible for unlock?

Does it have to be Exynos processor instead of Snapdragon? I saw that phones locked to Verizon and AT&T may not be unlockable but if I buy one from Ebay i'm looking for one that is not carrier locked.

I'm an IOS trying to change to a budget Android so this is all new to me unfortunately.

Thank you in advance!

Generally you are looking for a non carrier branded device running a Retail software channel

Retail, RetUS, RetEU, Retxx...
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] PolarBearMafia:
Does processor matter?

Thank you , the retail software is new information I had not known. I looked on your post and saw that carrier locked and amazon devices cannot be unlocked. This I had known.

What i'm looking for which I cannot seem to find is if Snapdragon processors cannot be bootloader unlocked. Someone said they give problems but I cannot find this information anywhere. Every post just leaders to the bootloader unlocking support page on the official Moto website but that doesn't help me because apparently not all G5 plus models are alike and I cannot go through the process as I do not have the phone. I want to know if it can be unlocked BEFORE i purchase it.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] sd_shadow:
Qualcomm Snapdragon or mediatek does not matter.

It depends on the software channel and carrier.

You need to ask the seller what software channel it's on, be cause that also affects which carrier it can be used on too.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
All Moto G5+ models have the same Snapdragon processor.

I only know one type of device that can't be unlocked and that is the Amazon version with ads on lockscreen (not just sold by Amazon).
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] PolarBearMafia:
If the phone is carrier unlocked does that mean it is retail? I have only been looking at carrier unlocked devices.

Does anyone know who makes the display for the Moto G5 Plus?

I'm doing an experimental project involving projecting the phone's display by replacing the backlight with a powerful LED and assembling associated projector parts.

However, I want to use just the LCD if I can... I'd like to connect an HDMI input to the display. And to do that, I need an HDMI to raw pixel data board or some device that outputs data suitable for the Plus's display.

And to get that far, I need to know who manufactures the display so I can get the correct board. I've worked out that the larger 30-pin connector is the display connector; the other top connector is just for the touchscreen (it's got a Synaptics chip on it and the phone will display things correctly without that cable plugged in, but you won't have a touch screen.).

If anyone has any information about the Moto G5 Plus's display, including display manufacturer, connector protocol, or any other relevant information including general display information (including if it's an eDP display), please let me know.

And yes, I realize this is an incredibly stupid project and probably a waste of money. Save your breath on those types of comments, please.

Thank you in advance.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Moondroid:
Greetings. Q about Call blocking, in particular, where are call blocking lists stored in Android? I want to be able to export a very long list of blocked numbers into a different phone (presumably at root level) but can't find out how, or where that list is stored. I've searched my phones and I've searched all of XDA and nothing turns up.

My immediate mission is to move my present blocked-calls list from a Moto G5 Plus running RR 5.8.4, to an LG G6 US997 -- both phones unlocked/rooted or expected to be. I'm posting this question in Q&A for both phones, hoping one or the other can get me a good answer.

I would prefer not to have to install yet another app on any of my phones, because Call blocking is built-in on every phone I've used in the last 3-4 years.

I'm looking to export>import (copy>paste) such a list across Android versions Nougat to Oreo at least. I'm well-versed in rooting etc, and no problems with copying/moving or even editing system files. TIA for any clues on how to get this done!

I'm facing issue with 4g network in moto g5 plus. It's been around 2 years now. It frequently gets disconnected and reconnects after a minute or two. I tried everything, factory reset, replaced the sim, new sim, and currently I flashed pixel experience rom and also the device is rooted. But the issue is still there. Fortunately it doesn't disconnect when I'm playing an online game. No issue with wifi connection, only with data connection. Below is the screenshot attached where I receive a pop up notification about data used in last session whenever mobile data is disconnected.

My 3 year old Moto G5 Plus running android 8.1 suddenly restarted two days ago and went into Start up failure. It no longer shows My product or IMEI number. It just shows potter 000000000000000 32GB P3B

Bootloader logs read " Start up failure. Your device didn't start up successfully. Use the Software Repair Assistant on computer to repair your device. Connect your device to your computer to get the Software Repair Assistant" written in red.

I have my IMEI and product numbers saved on my pc in a notepad file, but the LMSA software does not recognise my device to even try to rescue it. I want to retrieve files from my phone before attempting a factory reset.

On using the LMSA, it says "lmsa doesn't match appropriate firmware. you can try to select a firmware manually" but then it has no option to select anything manually. I have my phone previously registered on the software on my PC.

I have not rooted my phone, nor used anything other than stock android. My bootloader is locked. I cannot remember if I had Developer options selected or not, most probably not.

On trying to go to recovery mode it says the same message " Start up failure. Your device didn't start up successfully. Use the Software Repair Assistant on computer to repair your device. Connect your device to your computer to get the Software Repair Assistant"

When I connect the phone to the computer, it recognises it (I hear a notification sound) and under Devices it shows under Unrecognised as "Fastboot potter s"

I've never flashed my phone but would it be possible to recover the files in the internal storage of the phone by installing TWRP (in a non rooted, bootloader locked phone) without data loss?

How does it work?

Please help! I really need to recover my photos and notepad notes. Is there any way? Any software?

Please help! Please!

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] pravin_19i:
I had the same issue with my moto g5 plus when I flashed stock rom. The IMEI was showing 0 for both sim slots.

I flashed nougat stock rom and then installed all the OTA received in system updates. After that it was fixed. You can keep the bootloader unlocked. It doesn't affect the OTAs.

The only issue with my device is that data network goes off frequently, almost every 5 min. This issue is there since 2 years now. I tried so many things but norhing worked. Even in other custom roms like pixel experience the issue is sti there.

Please if anyone can help?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] DwightKBrute:
Is there any way to flash stock ROM without losing data? I haven't attempted anything in the off chance that there is a way to recover internal storage data. It's absolutely essential to me. I don't care about the phone, I'm gonna replace it anyway.

If I can even switch on the phone for long enough to backup data from the phone, it will be enough.

>I flashed nougat stock rom and then installed all the OTA received in system updates. After that it was fixed. You can keep the bootloader unlocked. It doesn't affect the OTAs.

Can you link me to the version of nougat to download. From what I can recall, XT1686 came with Android 7.0 out of the box.

I read in another thread that downgrading a Moto with a locked bootloader will hard brick the device. This thread. Then how did you do it? My bootloader/oem is locked. I've attached a screenshot from when I once connected my phone to LMSA a few weeks before it crashed, it showed my current version I was running at the time. I never got around to taking a backup of the phone, then. (****)

These are the screens I get. I try to charge the phone in fastboot every day to keep it from dying completely.

I'm desperate.
