yes you have to install micro g download from the same site

Youtube Vanced is working fine, but as soon as I install microG the app starts crashing.

I disabled Chrome and then installed Micro G but no change.

I'm using non root version.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try uninstalling both YT vanced and micro g....then install Micro G first then followed with YT Vanced install. See if that helps

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] NEERO:
It was a bug, installed the latest Vanced App and it worked.

However the website does not clarify which of the release is the fixed one so had to check by clicking on each release.

Thanks anyways.

Hello Guys

I'm really happy with the Head unit when I haven't this Problem and I hope we find a solution.

Here is the Problem:

When i listen to music in every app or from Phone I hear the sound for 5 seconds. Then the radio play again but I hear nothing. Then I touch the volume+ or volume- I hear the sound for 5 seconds and then the same thesound gos out.

I don't know more....

Thanks for xyour help
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ikerg:
Does it happen with all apps on the headunit including the analog radio?

Do you have a custom rom installed? Or stock rom?

[MTCD Android Head Units General] Psychochindli21:
Yes it's on all apps including the analog radio. It's the stock rom on the head unit. I write Dasaita on aliexpress and on facebook but no answer come back.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ~zATBz~:
That's a weird problem does the volume level go to 0% when the sound goes away? Or does it stay to what you have it set at? Is it only the volume + that restores sound? I wonder if the volume - key is stuck on?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Psychochindli21:
The volume stay on the level that i set. No i can restore it with + or - button. I have two videos on youtube but i can't post this.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] ~zATBz~:
From looking at your videos. I think the unit may be defective imo

if you have a soundsystem like JBL or BOSE in your car ,you must change one option in the factory setting menu (with 126)

Go to canbus menu and change amplifier = "with amplifier"

in Peugeot 208 with JBL sound system ,if you dont do that ,we have the same probleme like you
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Psychochindli21:
That's the solution i have yet no time to make a great test but i have make the change and I hear the first 30 seconds of a song. I must test this tomorrow. But i think this is the solution. I'm very happy about your tip... Many thanks to you
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] doombuger:
In effort to get lineageOS_16 I flashed the wrong firmware (OCSX27*) as stated was a requirement in the install instructions on lineage wiki.

(my original was OPSX27* (USC)...

I have a USC XT1789-02 variant with an unlocked bootloader and flashed stock firmware:

"XT1789-04_NASH_TMO_C_8.0.0_OCXS27.109-51-14-7_subsidy-TMO_RSU_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml" via flashall....

now i do not have any baseband. No WIFI, No Cellular, NOTHING.

I've tried to revert to the original retail stock by flashing:

"XT1789-02_NASH_USC_8.0.0_OPXS27.109-40-18_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml" - via flashall with no luck.

I then did a fastboot to twrp3.3.1-0-nash.img and switched from slot_a to slob_b - rebooted to bootloader and tried flashall again:

"XT1789-02_NASH_USC_8.0.0_OPXS27.109-40-22_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml".

This was my attempt to simulate an OTA (at least in my mind).

Edit: After further investigation activating the slot_B and flashing stock like an OTA might fix it. so i think i'm on the right track? i Just don't know how to go about doing that successfully....

edit 2: I realize that the TMO flashall i used is TMO_RSU which is russian?

I still do not have baseband. Can anyone help!?

PS.i did

NOT

flash the verizon pie firmware... i've read that others who have done that were also having the same issue... however verizon is my carrier/SIM provider /Cellular network i use.

Please Help! Thanks!

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
Flash the latest firmware for your phone.

Found here.

You can use this xml to batch convertor from rootjunky to create your own flashall if needed.

Found here.

After a successful flash, reboot to recovery and do a factory reset. (Not from settings menu, recovery)
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
If you had USC firmware on there originally you should use that, not VZW. The trick to this is to factory reset from recovery. It might seem trivial, but that's how you restore your baseband.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] doombuger:
So after the flashall.bat finishes with stock firmware, I should I boot the system first and comeback to factory reset? Fastboot twrp and swipe factory reset? Or just select factory from bootloader? Thanks

Edit: after flashall finished i did a factory reset from recovery without booting to system first without success. No WIFI or Mobile Data still.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
After the flashall finishes, go ahead and boot to system. NO twrp or root yet, just clean stock. Make sure usb debugging is on. open command prompt and enter 'adb reboot recovery' w/o quotes.

Once in stock recovery, do a factory reset.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] doombuger:
after installing the latest USC firmware via Flashall - booting system - adb reboot recovery - factory reset - still no baseband/wifi/mobile data :(

however during the flashall i noticed 2 lines in the were "erase modem 1" and "erase modem 2". maybe an issue?

Edit: i'm going to try to flashall with the 2nd latest firmware and do a adb update with the latest to see if that does anything...

Edit2: NVM i can't sideload the firmware. adb says cannot read.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
It's possible that the TMO modem is newer than the USC modem, so you might need to wait for a newer USC version. You could try using the lmsa tool to do a rescue and see if that will pull an updated USC firmware. I'd remove your sim until you get your baseband back. It shouldn't cause any conflict, but still I'd pull it.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] doombuger:
i have tried to use the lmsa rescue tool but fails at the step when it wants me to "enter fastboot mode" because it "failed to match the connected device". :(

TMO having a newer baseband is possible... but i really hope not!

USC prob wont release another firmware for a while if at all.. they just had 6 month wait from feb to aug..

I have pulled my SIM card out. If i get wifi back ill put it back in.

Verizon and USC both use the same radios, so i was thinking if i removed "flash bootloader" lines from flashall and ran a oreo verizon firmware flashall, it might fix it? please advise.

i was doing some digging and found a YouTube video claiming it fixes unknown baseband.

IDK though... here is the detailed description in the YT video

He doesn't show what it does. And I don't know.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] doombuger:
I have several ideas on how to approach this problem in efforts to fix it - Please advise.

Would a blankflash - followed by a flashall with the correct firmware potentially fix the baseband?

Verizon and USC use the same frequencies... I even had verizon service on this device b4 my baseband problem. could flashing a non-pie verizon rom restore baseband? - would that also relock my bootloader and make it unable to be unlocked again? should i edit the .bat file not to include a file?

as it is now without wifi or mobile it may as well be a brick... i suppose ill be ordering a new phone. but i'll still tinker.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
You can try a blankflash if you like, some have found it necessary when restoring their baseband, but typically not needed.

As for flashing VZW firmware, I wouldn't suggest it. You can't just flash another variants firmware on these phones and switch carriers. It's one thing to use another carrier, it's trouble in the making when you flash their firmware. That's kind of what got you in this mess.

I suspect your modems and bootloader are TMO and newer than USC's. That's why you can't get your baseband back at the moment, and also why there is a mismatch when you use the lmsa tool. Unfortunately. the TMO firmware you flashed was an August release, so it's fairly new so you might wait up to a few months for USC to release a newer update. Many have simply had to wait for their carrier to release an update to fix their baseband.

Important note - Don't re-lock your bootloader, especially when it not 100% stock and working.

I know it's frustrating and not what you want to hear, but luckily you haven't messed with pie, and ultimately your phone is recoverable. Below is a link for blankflashing, read it all, and flash your USC firmware when done.

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] doombuger:
Thank you for your support.

I had a already found and downloaded a blankflash prior to you recommended link.

However the site i downloaded from has both, (Blankflash_oreo VS Blackflash_NDX26*) - what's the difference?

My original was OPSX27* so in my mind blankflash_oreo was the safer option? no?

https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/nash/blankflash/
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
No. When you blankflash, you're basically reflashing your pbl and rebuilding the chain of trust. Our device shipped with a nougat pbl and the way I understand it is you can reflash it, but you can't modify or update it. So you have to use the nougat blankflash, oreo hasn't worked for us. Usually you blankflash if you've bricked your device. Sometimes flashing different things can leave discrepancies in the chain of trust so it's necessary to blankflash and clean the slate. Like I said, I don't think blankflashing will help you sort your baseband, but some have needed to do it to sort theirs so it's worth a shot. What else can you do besides wait for an update anyways?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] doombuger:
Ok I'll give the blankflash a shot. I won't use the Oreo one and will use the NDX one as suggested. Thanks for the info. I'll report back soon with the result.

PS. Is fastbooting twrp to boot into edl acceptable?

Edit: yes Twrp edl works. but blankflash followed by new firmware did not correct my situation.

if i flashed the incorrect firmware that i flashed b4,again, would that at least fix WIFI service for now?

Otherwise i'm out of options.

thanks!

Edit 2:

i was researching the baseband for the latest USC firmware which i should have:

"M8998_20207.117.02.50.02R"...

VS

M8998TMO_20207.117.02.41.08R which is what i accidentally flashed with a TMO rom and broke it...

I found that the old SPRINT firmware "OCXS27.109-48-15" has the same baseband i should have with the latest USC firm...(and Sprint has 2 Newer releases [OCXS27*-17 & OCXS27*-20]).

Sprint OCSX27*-17 baseband = "M8998_20207.117.02.50.02R-HUDSONMD-7489-AD5419F_7E7C26B"

Sprint OCSX27*-20 Baseband = M8998_20207.117.02.50.02R

Theoretically shouldn't the next updated sprint baseband work for my device?

idk if its a good idea or not like you said... Just trying to explore all possible fixes.. and learn. - thanks

I've attached the firmware build info txt files.

oddly enough; While comparing the build infos for each firmware...the latest USC firmware is the newest of the 3 being released on july 18 - while sprint and TMO were both released july 5th, according to the build info text. :confused:
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] doombuger:
I still have root access... is there anything i can potentially do within the system? edit build prop value? etc...

i was browsing the /vendor/radio folder via ES File Explorer and i found a file named "iccid_0".

I opened it in a text editor:

null,null,null

maybe something i should fix?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
You can take the modem from the old Sprint firmware and do a hash comparison with the current USC modem to see if they are truly the same modem. If so, then you might try a newer Sprint modem to see if it will overwrite the TMO modem. Just remember to stay away from pie, and don't go too crazy mixing and matching.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] doombuger:
I used Windows powershell to compare the latest Sprint and USC hashes and they were not the same. :(

get-filehash NON-HLOS.bin

Sprint:

Algorithm Hash Path
--------- ---- ----
SHA256 1B6836E2C67318DB76A4225A519E41EB3537ADAA381BB073F0B8FD719DD8A983

USC:

SHA256 33AC8D4C64268B6DF50C8AFAEA055D5C6F53411E57F6831CD1E570FAD4EDE387

so, i started browsing files with ES file explorer while rooted and i found files with my IMEI number, and when i do a "fastboot getvar all" it shows my IMEI but when i look at baseband info and driver stuff those files seem encrypted?

also anytime i dial try to dial *#06#* to check IMEI, my dialer force closes without showing any info.

...I'm out of ideas.

You'd think with an unlocked bootloader and root access, wiping baseband and installing fresh shouldn't be a problem. :(

i'm open to ideas... and until i get some, i'm soft bricked.... until/IF they release a new USC firmware. :crying:

... sooooo.... anyone got an extra Z2 Force with root and CDMA capable radios? *wink-wink-nudge-nudge*

Out of desperation i may try to flash the TMO firmware back again, and pray to at least get wifi.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
I figured they wouldn't match, US carriers are pretty specific while retail gives you more leeway. Unfortunately I think you're playing a waiting game. You can probably use the online ota gen tool to check for updates. Hopefully they pipe one out pretty quick.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] doombuger:
thanks for your insight 41rw4lk! Yes hopefully!

I'm not familiar with the online OTA gen tool... is that something like the Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant?

I flashed back to the TMO Rom and everything seems to be working.... even mobile data.

I can even put twrp-3.3.1-0-nash and magisk19.3 on it without issue....

Its basically a T-Mobile phone now..

The downside is i don't use t-mobile, and my verizon sim wont work in this phone anymore.

man, i wish there was a way to switch back. :(

but at least it's not a brick and i got the wifi back!:good:

I'm half-tempted to try the verizon (pie) firmware/NON-HLOS but i dont want to push my luck too far, and be stuck with nothing again...

its just i keep thinking "USC and verizon use the same frequencies and verizon is definitely newer - so it'd potentially fix everything"... (or permanently break it).

if anyone has tried the flashing the Verizon pie firmware on the nash-02 variant, .. i'd love to hear if it worked or not.:cyclops:

Side rant:

Not being able to downgrade or replace baseband drivers on a fully unlocked system is such a letdown. even with edl.... I just don't understand why/why not!?

Maybe there is a way to spoof the driver signature to look newer than the Tmobile one? IDK.:confused:

I may just sell it to someone with tmobile; Cut my losses, and get another device....

i'm pretty sure USC wont be pushing out firmware anytime soon if at all... since the z2f is already past its 2year update support promise? might wait a month or so before doing so..:fingers-crossed:

Side rant 2:

-02 variants are so hard to find.... All the ones on ebay are half broken or are in really, really rough shape!

Looks like i may need to move on to a new phone. I'm Open to suggestions. im looking for CDMA capable- Unlockable bootloader - microSD- Magisk.

i was thinking essential phone , pixel 2, but neither have Micro SD.

moto G7 seems awesome but the root process looks iffy.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
USC is a bit of an oddball, it's just different when it comes to what flashes and what works. What you might try doing is flashing a Sprint oreo firmware like you did TMO, hopefully the baseband is new enough. If that works and everything is copacetic, then you can follow this guide to network unlock and use your USC sim. This only works for Sprint though, and it might not work considering yours isn't true Sprint, but it's something to try.

I would stay away from pie until there are options to fix the bricked basebands, there are none so far. The golden rule is, if it isn't for your device, leave it alone. If you really want pie and don't care about moto mods (assuming you get a working baseband), flash DU13.4, that's what I run and have for the last year. Each to their own though.

The ota gen tool is an online tool that searches for otas for your device. I think there is a link in the Pie Upgrade thread.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Dany XP:
A little off topic but what are the advantages of DU over LOS16?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] doombuger:
i had the device running on DU13.1 for a little while b4 i tried switching to Lineage and getting locked into TMO. I had planned to try 13.3 sometime soon too. i had it preloaded on my SD card already..

I liked 13.1 but remember thinking a few things needed a few tweaks. I can't remember what they were off the top of my head though.

2 Quick questions:

-Is there another variant of the Z2 aside from the 1789-02 with CDMA capable radios with an unlockable bootloader?

-I have the device booted up and running on the TMO software - one of the bloat apps is "device unlock" when i open it it says:

"Your device is network locked at this time, which prevents it from operating with other compatible wireless networks. To inquire about your devices unlock eligibility, please continue" - i continue and it says

"Failure in processing the request. Please reboot device and try again"

This wouldn't prevent me being able to flash new modem right? and since this is not an official Tmobile variant, is it really locked, could they unlock it?
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
That wouldn't prevent anything. The unlock app is just to network unlock the phone. I think to be eligible you have to have an account for so long, own the phone, etc. The Sprint option I posted previously is the same thing, a network unlock, but it's done by modding. As for which variants are cdma idk. Verizon I believe, but not unlockable.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] doombuger:
Ok cool I can live with that.. Thanks,

Do you know if the Sprint variant is boot unlockable? It supports cdma I believe.. found this cool website to check radios. https://www.frequencycheck.com/models/vDrbJ/motorola-moto-z2-force-edition-lte-a-xt1789-03
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
Sprint is BL unlockable. That being said, there is also the network unlock hack that works, BUT, it's a mess with pie modems. Some have network unlocked Sprint phones to use Verizon which works, but trying to go the full nine with VZW pie firmware breaks the baseband. Pie doesn't like the Sprint network unlock hack.
