[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
I'm not sure but it sounds as if you flash magisk and no-verity in one task. If so I wouldn't do that, maybe a reboot between the both files could be helpful.

You could also try the following (see also https://didgeridoohan.com/magisk/Magisk#hn_Disabling_dm-verity_and_forced_encryption ):

Run the following command in your recovery's terminal before installing magisk.zip:

echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=false>>/cache/.magisk

Magisk should set the force encryption flag to false then.

I don't know which disable....zip you're using, I had always success with this one: Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_02.04.2019.zip:

https://yadi.sk/d/HLr5vjnkA8gaqw

And as I wrote above I (and other users too) had to repeat the whole process from formatting data on to get it stick.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Nivead:
Bingo. This what finally worked:

""Run the following command in your recovery's terminal before installing magisk.zip:""

""

reboot

""I don't know which disable....zip you're using, I had always success with this one: Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_02.04.2019.zip:

-used yours-

reboot

then format data under TWRP wipe

reboot - and then settings - and under encryption - phone ask if I want to encrypt it, instead of being encrypted by default.

I learned a couple of things tonight. I found if you set "secure start up" on the google start/setup, TWRP was asking for PIN and it did not work to the PIN I had entered - the errors were "unable to Mount Storage and Failed to Decrypt Data".

Thank you very much !! I appreciate your patience - I am 64 years old, was a Linux administrator 35 years back for a few years and then was promoted up, and did not have time to keep the skills up to par. I know enough to be dangerous. I forgot that android was forked from Linux and when I realized it...here I am playing with the phone !!

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Nivead:
I found a procedure that works everytime. Fastbooted the potter 8.1/op28.85-17-6-2 flashes so the phone would be clean. Reboot then set up google/phone.

Then Fastboot Flash mode and pushed in TWRP to recovery. Then switched to recovery, then in TWRP went to wipe then format data. Then to install and installed magisk. Then reboot system.

Then setup google/phone and confirmed magisk is on the phone.

Then reboot to recovery mode. In TWRP goto wipe, then format data. Then to install, install Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_02.04.2018.zip Reboot system

Then setup google/phone. Noted No Encryption, and Magisk gone. Reboot to recovery and in TWRP install Magisk. Reboot and all is well.

(did the whole procedure three times to make sure all results were repeatable)(and did not need the TWRP terminal commands) (sure is a pain in the rear setting up the phone everytime its reset).

Dear bros,

I'm having the Diamond, and a number of owners including me are not happy abt the number of appointments shown in the front page of the touchFlo3D.

Therefore, I have decided to create a small app that will open up in a small window (or a nice background) and will display all upcoming appointments regardless of which day it falls on.

This function is very similar to O2plus plugin as you can see in one of my older today screens:

The thing is, I plan to use VB.net but I'm kinda lost. *please don't flame me on this.. just asking help :)

I've used the classic VB for windows apps long time ago and I've lost touch. I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with the code, just to display the next appointment or something. I'll build it up from there.

Here's an example in C# which I can't get it to work:

http://www.developer.com/ws/pc/article.php/3556186

I've got all the tools needed: VB.net 2005, WM6 SDK, etc.

Thanks once again!

Hi everyone.

A few weeks ago I acquired this terminal which came with the global version and the truth was great but due to the comments I decided to put the Chinese version or stock but the truth has not convinced me I had a better performance with the global version will anyone tell with the global version to be able to install it again? Since I can't find it anywhere.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeStonga:
Hello friends! I have been reading a few different forums and sources regarding roms, but I had a few question to which I cannot find any answers to. I hope you all may be able to help provide me with some information.

I have read numerous forums with people who want to flash newer versions of android on their devices, or even revert back to their stock rom, but what about a custom rom that is a

lower android version than what the tablet stock was

? Is that even possible, provided you compile it with android's open source code?

I have 4 lenovo tab 10 tablets - they are all painfully slow, and always have been. It doesn't matter if you clear the cache, disable programs, factory data wipe and reset, etc.

I understand that the reason the tablets are so slow is the hardware that it comes with - especially the 1GB of ram limitation.

For this reason, I wish to be able to flash kitkat on the devices to improve performance. I don't mind if many playstore apps wont run on the device, I just wish to be able to use it to surf the web and read a few e-mails. And believe me or not, the tablets in their current state can barely do that!

Anyhow, if I was to get the source code for kitkat, would I need to somehow port over the drivers from the stock firmware, or would this not be possible because the stock firmware is lollipop? I am having difficulty understanding if the kernels are related to the operating system version or if they can be used with different operating systems. The same is true for the "drivers", which I believe I had read are binaries?

Any help you guys could provide I would appreciate greatly! I don't care about building or getting a custom rom that has all sorts of programs and icon packs, I just want a bare bones kitkat install with chrome and google play capability to download a few minimal apps.

Thank you all for your time and help, and I hope to hear back soon!

Those lines above are the first ones with the flashall tool. Flash permission is always denied so nothing changes.

When I try to boot via fastboot boot boot.img the Motorola Logo appears for 30 secounds and then goes to fastboot again.

The problem is, that flasing is locked and I need to unlock it somehow. But its not possible without some Android system running because I have to activate it in the developer options.

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] enetec:
Since of locked status you can't change bootloader at moment. So don't try to flash an OS version different from actual bootloader (Nougat?)

Flash an OS version "compatible" with boot loader (don't try to flash bootloader!!), boot to system, switch to unlockable status, unlock it and... enjoy! ;)

Remember anyway thay since you have fastboot access it isn't still hardbricked at all...
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] bennyschw:
What makes me suspicious is that it says "RETAIL" in the fingerprint but I have the German/Europe version. So it should be "RETEU".

Anyway, tried to flash the 7.1.1 retail stock rom because theres no reteu 7.1.1 available but the result is still the same: "Permission denied". But it was worth a try!

"Fastboot boot boot.img" doesn't work either. Bootscreen appears for a while, it vibrates and then goes back to fastboot.

Since what you posted you have an Oreo Reteu flashed on this phone. More, it is reported verity off and warranty void, so your bootloader

should

be unlocked.

My suspect is that someone has flashed it with Oreo THEN tried to relock bootloader and... bricked it! :silly:

Anyway, i don't know bootloader versions, but if this has been already flashed with Oreo, I don't think you will be able to reflash it with Nougat easily...

So, I would try this way...

- try to oem unlock it and look what it says...

- try to flash it with Oreo RETEU or Oreo Retail and look what happens...

What is weird is that "flashing locked" status... :confused:
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
You should try the lmsa tool first, see if it will do a rescue and get you back to booting.

https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds101291

If no go, then you can try a blankflash. It's possible that between all the flashing there have become discrepancies in the boot chain, and a blankflash will fix that. Afterwards you flash the correct firmware for your phone. You have an -06 Dual Sim right? So you'll probably want reteu ds firmware, but retail should also work. Either way it should boot, the only problem could be no modem. If that's the case, then factory reset from the recovery to see if that sorts it. If not, then flash the retail firmware and do a factory reset from the recovery, modem should be back.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77623934&postcount=5

I would stay away from pie firmware until you're up and running. Just for verification it does say xt1789-06 by the charging port right? Does it have a dual sim try as well? Your priority should be, getting booting, sign into google, oem unlock. Once your bootloader is unlocked you'll have wiggle room, until then it'll be a little tough going.

In my first post I was trying to flash the single sim version. Was my fault. But the same things happend there. This is a XT1789-06 with dual sim.

But as you said, it should have booted with no mobile connection.

By the way, fastboot oem blankflash doesnt work either:

Is there another way to go to blankflash?

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
This is the last retail oreo firmware, it appears to be newer than what you've tried or at least what has been shown from your getvar output.

https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

Before you try and flash it, run getvar command again and note your build version, build fingerprint, and which slot is your current slot . Then try to flash the retail firmware and boot. If nothing seems to change run the getvar command again and see if there are any changes to what you noted before. If your current slot is different, run the flashall again. If the current slot is the same, then fastboot --set-active=other and faatboot reboot bootloader. Run getvar command again to verify that you're on the other slot, and note the items listed above. Then run your flashall again. Run getvar command one more time and note the items again.

Hopefully enough of that will flash so you can boot. Between what you've flashed and god knows what was flashed before you, there could be a hodge-podge of nonsense scattered between the slots.

If still no boot, try running the lmsa tool again, maybe enough was cleaned up for the tool to run. Make sure that you're using admin privileges for the tool and command prompt if needed.

*Note - oem unlock won't work until you've enabled oem unlocking in dev settings, which is why booting is your 1st priority.

adb-fastboot_ver29.0.5

Attached is the latest adb/fastboot files pulled from androidsdk. It's weird that you can't even switch slots, so here is the latest files, just unzip to their own folder. Open folder, hold shift then right-click a blank area in the folder, open command window here. Try repeating the instructions in my last post and see if anything works this time around, use a 2.0 port if possible and use a port off the motherboard. Trivial it seems, but necessary for some. Double check the command fastboot --setactive="a,b, or other" could be "_a or _b" I don't use that command often so the syntax could be wrong, so try with or with the underscore_ or simply use 'other' w/o 'quotes' to switch slots. We're trying to get the slots as matched as possible so that if all else fails hopefully the lmsa tool will at least do a rescue on it. Right now I think you have bits and pieces of everything and lmsa sees it as something foreign or custom and won't touch it.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
I thought you were being funny until I looked at the serial no. in both posts... it the same f'n phone. Flashed to pie, f'd up, rolled back to oreo, bootloader locked, all kinds of wrong. Since it was on pie before, you'll need pie to fix it. Depending on what version of pie was flashed, you might need to wait for an update to roll out so you have a new enough firmware to overwrite the nv values. So there's that.
