so i just installed crDROID on my phone, flashed it, then flashed flash GAPPS, and now its kind of hung up on the boot screen with the eye flashing different colors. i followed the instructions. how long does it usually take to boot the first boot? any ideas what this could be?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mmortal03:
Did you format data, or just wipe data when you installed it? You might first try flashing gapps again over what you have. That sometimes seems to work. Which gapps are you using?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
Stuck at bootlogo at first boot after flashing:

I have installed CrDroid on many potters (also for other people). In my case it always stucks at bootlogo, flashing CrDroid the first time. I did think it had to do with a wrong GAPPS, but also flashing the same GAPPS on another potter didn't work at first flash. Just do the flashing procedure a second time and it works fine.

Fingerprint not working for unlocking after (re)boot:

To solve this, just remove simtray, reboot or shutdown and power on phone. After phone has fully booted, put simtray back in, and enter the pincode of your simcard. Now your fingerprint keeps working. As long as you don't (re)boot or shutdown and power on again. Lot's of custom roms have the same issue.

stupid problem over here

on crdroid customization menu i want round notifications corners, but when i change it all the corners of the screen becomes rounded too

its suposed to be this way ?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mmortal03:
Speaking of stupid problems, I swapped out the SIM card, restarted the phone a few times, everything was working, powered off and powered back on, and now the Home screen icons/widgets have been reset to their defaults! Fortunately, I did not have too many things customized/arranged.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] xenomorph150:
I have been using crDroid now for half a year and love it, however, after about a day of use it becomes unstable. At some point the device will just freeze and be stuck for minutes in that state. Sometimes waiting does recover it, sometimes only a hard reboot. There is also the funny bug that if you leave its screen off and unplug it from charging - and let it sit like that for some minutes without interacting with it, it will hard lockup, meaning it will cease working completly / stuck until hard reset. I attached a logcat showing the first problem of just really getting stuck. Maybe someone can help me? Reinstalling it multiple times did not help.

Can you help me getting this ROM to work with Visible Wireless? As I understand it, I need to add some specific APN settings to the phone, but I can't input them because it won't let me. What do I do?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] LeMaJo:
Version 7.25 solved the bootfreeze for my Potters.

I also found a file on my disk (I dont remember where i downloaded it) called Oreo_Fingerprint.zip; after installing it via TeamWin my fingerprint sensor worked perfectly.

:)
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mmortal03:
I wonder if @cjdijk knows about that patch? What are the contents of the zip file?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] LeMaJo:
i dont remember the origin since the file is 2 or 3 years old., it must have been on a potter forum (maybe even this one) and i hope its okay to post it here. if not any moderator can feel free to remove it.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mmortal03:
I found it. It's identical to this:

"From now on, all ROMs need Oreo firmware or else Fingerprint will not work. Flash this if you are still on Nougat firmware:

Fingerprint Firmware (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904029635)

If your device is updated to Official Oreo then this is not needed."

Thanks for letting me know. For some unknown reason my phone didn't get the 7.25 update automatically, it did stay on 7.23. Also didn't know about Oreo_Fingerprint.zip I guess I need to install Oreo_Fingerprint.zip using TWRP (Install zip)? Is it a final fix which you don't have to do again after a re-flash antoher ROM? Does Oreo_Fingerprint.zip actually work, meaning I can reboot anytime, without having to remove my simtray temporary?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mmortal03:
Not sure why -- I was on 7.23 and it detected 7.25. I wonder if anyone else has experienced this. Maybe the server was down coincidentally?

Yeah, you only have to do it once, unless you ever need to go back to Nougat -- then you can always flash the Nougat FP firmware, which is here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904029634
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
Unfortunately this doesn't work for me. I have booted in twrp recovery mode an used "install zip" to install your zip. Turned my phone off an on again (leaving simtray in phone). After booting, entering my pincode, let it go to sleep by not touching it for a minute. But pressing my fingerprint sensor doesn't wake it up. Only swiping and entering my pincode does. So I had to remove simtray and reboot my phone and put it back again to make my fingerprint sensor work again for unlocking. Did I do something wrong installing your zip? By the way, I did get the 7.25 update automatically last friday.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mmortal03:
I doubt he knows -- he got it from the Telegram group. I believe @GtrCraft posted it here a few years ago. It's just the Oreo fingerprint scanner firmware. I had a hunch that it would fix your problem, but maybe there's something else wrong with yours?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
I do have the same thing on more Moto G5 Plus (XT-1685) phones. Fingerprint sensor works, for e.g. identification on banking app, but not for unlocking. I need to (re)boot it without simtray and put it back in after booting to make it work for unlocking too. When using Pixel Experience I could power off and on again to make it work. Rebooting did give the same problem. No problem when using the original 8.1 Android. It's not a very big problem. It keeps working as long I don't (re)boot it. And if it nessecary to (re)boot, I just need to remove my simtray temporary. But it's a bit annoying having to enter pincode instead or just touching the fingerprint sensor. Thanks anyway.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mmortal03:
@cjdijk , did you ever install stock Oreo on any of these? I wonder if doing that might help.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
For me installing FP_firmware_NP25.137-33.zip does make my fingerprint sensor to not work at all anymore. Not for unlocking and not for banking app. So I am using FP_firmware_OPS28.85-17.zip now. That works as long I don't shutdown or reboot while simtray installed. I guess I am the only one who doesn't want to use a pincode or a pattern to unlock my phone. Or may be It's only an issue on all my XT-1685 potters.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mmortal03:
Mine has always worked, but it's an XT1687.

Rom works great with Nano GApps. Thank you cDroid Team!
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] InfernalAscent:
First off, thanks for maintaining a quality custom ROM for the Moto G5 Plus!

I've just installed the latest twrp potter recovery image, wiped the cache/data/system partitions (+formatted data) and installed crdroid 7.25, along with flamegapps (full) for Android 11 and the latest Magisk. Everything booted up fine, but it seems internet connection can't be established - via wifi or mobile data.

I can setup the wifi network and sim card without an issue. Wifi reads as "Connected" and doesn't show any issues. But finalising the phone setup, where an internet connection is needed, always fails with "unable to connect" error. Same issue if going to Google Play Store, which asks for sign in, and fails with "unable to communicate with google servers". The same thing happens if wifi is turned off and mobile data is used instead.

Any suggestions on what to try to get the connection working?

Finally updated to crDroidAndroid-10.0-20200405-potter-v6.4 from AOSPExtended 6.7.

Everything went smoothly (clean flash > flash magisk > flash recovery zip files from Migrate > reboot & setup > install microg). I run nogapps and everything is working as well with microg as it did under AOSPExtended 6.7, except location, but I'm sure I'll get it working with a bit more mucking around.

Observations so far:

1. WiFi is turned off after rebooting and therefore doesn't reconnect automatically (have to turn it back on first)

2. I have had no issues with fingerprint navigation

3. I have had no issues with the number of rows and columns in the Quick Settings reverting to default after rebooting

[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] DVele:
Try to turn off bluetooth.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Wolfcity:
Uninstall magisk completely or reflash the ROM without it. Often that's the culprit.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] InfernalAscent:
Thanks for the suggestion. Wiped and reflashed without Magisk, but unfortunately the same result.

EDIT: Tried a few different combos and what I found worked was to flash crdroid only, boot it up without gapps and then flash mindthegapps afterwards (flamegapps caused it to hang at 2nd boot). Internet connection now works fine.

After trying to install several custom roms on my device I finally got crdroid 6 successfully running on my moto g5 plus potter. crdroid 7 was starting, but got stuck to the screen symbol and turned into a boot loop. I don t know what was going wrong, flash with twrp was reported complete.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mmortal03:
Did you format data, or just wipe data when you installed it? You also should try flashing gapps again if you already did. That sometimes seems to work.

One issue is that restoring a TWRP backup of it causes the PIN or Pattern to no longer work (you have to go into TWRP afterwards and delete lockscreen file(s) to get back in. Not sure the underlying cause of this.

Does anyone have a good working fingerprintsensor firmware for a XT-1685? The one uploaded here seems to be for a XT-1686. I would like it if it keeps working after a reboot. Now I need to remove the simtray temporary when I need to reboot.

Also some other issue, have read it before, but I didn't have it before. When taking a photo using CrDroid Camera App, it has a green glow on it. I have read about this issue, but I didn't have this problem, may be after an CrDroid update?

[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] mmortal03:
Right, and I told you to try flashing gapps again (on top of what you have already done). If that doesn't work, you probably need to start over flashing from the beginning, and make sure to use TWRP to *format* data *after* flashing, not just wipe data. There are previous posts mentioning this in this thread.

Hello, a question. I have the xt1867 with 2 gb of RAM, could you recommend me some configuration, magisk module, lsposed, or apk, that helps with the operation and battery life? use FDE.AI which I think helps with battery life and viper4android for sound.

Hi everybody,

got some problems over here. Today on a, literally, walk in the park, the cam crashed and freezed everything. I rebooted the phone by Power-Button. Crashed/freezed again. Rebooted again. Cam worked for 2-3 pics. Then again anything freezed, so did another reboot. Battery showed 3% (>60% just minutes before). So left it alone, at home plugged charger in and turned it off completely.

Display instantly showed battery around 63%. A Few minutes later i tried to start the phone and ended stucked at the boot-logo (not the boot-animation). Same with recovery (stucked at twrp-boot-pic). Only fastboot is working.

Updated/flashed recovery from twrp 3.5.2 to 3.7.0 and still no luck. Tried to just boot twrp.img temporarily without any success.

Prior to this, since 17 February, i've encountered the data-/battery-drain-problem caused by google-spoofing (also mentioned in this thread - problem with a specific google.gsm-service, identifiable by endless SystemUpdate-entries in log). Intended to work on this today, after securing everything - almost funny the thing bricked beforehand.

But i don't think these two problems are connected with each other!?

But what causes the boot-problems? Is it the bootloader or boot-partition? And if so, is there a way to repair it (flashing)?

Can it be a hardware-defect? Perhaps a broken eMMC? But then, why is fastboot working, are there different 'places' at the hardware for boot, ramdisk and so on?

Sorry for all this loose info, i'm a bit down and confused right now.

Last backup/sync is from dec'22, so any hints/ideas to prevent loss of internal-storage are much appreciated.

System is/was crDroid 7.25 (dirty flashed over some older version and worked fine for the last 3 months).

When stuck at recovery-/twrp-logo, command 'adb devices' shows serial and points to recovery (can't do much with that).

Attached a pic of 'fastboot getvar all' coz it's the only info i can get so far with just fastboot at hand.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Thomas Aldrian:
If you can't boot into recovery with a known good img, you don't have many options.

Try getting into Qualcomm EDL mode, then you can download the entire contents of emmc. Provided userdata encryption is in fact disabled, you can rescue any data you may want from this dump. Then follow one of the blankflash guides on this forum. That will flash a new bootloader too. If the system still won't boot afterwards, it likely is hw damage. But at lead you'll (hopefully) have your data.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
Yes I think it's bad eMMC. I have seen this with a smartphone of someone else. I reflashed the backup of his original Android 8.1, that was stored on his sd-card, directly made before flashing a custom ROM. But after that it still wasn't stable. So he bought another second hand one from marktplaats. I think the eMMC memory will last longer if you don't fill it all the way. Things you want to save, move it to sd-card, to keep lots of free space on the internal memory of your phone.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] k0tz:
Thanx for the quick replies!

Seems these point to the problem i assumed. So, finally i'll move to a new device. Bye Bye Moto!

But that's also bad news for my data.

@Thomas Aldrian - as far as i know, fiddling with the hardware is required to get in edl-mode!? Given the state of the phone there's no hindrance to try this out. Your post from Feb 20 indicates you had similiar problems? Can you share any hints/experiences or where to start gathering info on that topic?
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Thomas Aldrian:
There are multiple ways to get into EDL mode. Its possible it might do so if you power it on with both volume buttons pressed, though I'm not sure on this device. Otherwise, you could cut up a USB cable and solder a switch between (iirc) the green and black cables. While plugging the phone into the computer, hold this switch and it should boot straight into EDL mode. If all else fails, open up the device and find two test points on the PCB which will also trigger EDL.

Once in EDL mode, it should show up on your PC with the USB PID 9008. If it doesn't, EDL isn't active. Then you can use some tool (on Windows idk, on Linux I can recommend https://github.com/bkerler/edl) to dump the emmc contents.
[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
I am not sure what you mean by EDL, but if you mean to boot into recovery mode, you need to press power and volume down simultanusly until you see the bootmenu. After that you can choose the desired action. Only in our case we get TWRP recovery instead of the default Moto recovery.

Qualcomm Emergency Download mode. It's a feature on Qualcomm devices, and can be accessed even when the bootloader is corrupt or emmc simply isn't working (though in that case there is little EDL can do).

[Moto G5 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] cjdijk:
Unfortunately it seems that this ROM (7.25) now also has the battery draining problem. It tries desperate continuously contact with the Google server (which fortunately fails, so it doesn't have the mobile data eating probem), but this does have a mayor effect on battery usage. If I charge it to 100% before going to sleep, it's only 85% when I wake up. Twice as much as before. This used to be 5%-7% usage. I am sure I didn't add or change app's. Also with battery saving mode enabled. This problem started this month. Also I have turned the phone off and on again before sleep, to make sure no apps have been started when I was goining to sleep. I also have tried my backup Moto G5 Plus, and that one has the same thing. I did do a fresh re-instlall on that one. Anyone else having this?
