[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] xdixa:
Finally, lineage OS is running on my device :)

[MENTION=11015307]barbarossa2020[/MENTION]: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I followed your advice of doing an md5sum check of the files on my MicroSD card, and guess what? My 'lineage-17.1-20200713-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvN.img' file was corrupt. I replaced it with a correct version, et voilà: I could successfully install lineage OS following waltermobile's guide.

So if anybody is confronted with a strange error as I was, checking the integrity of the files on the MicroSD card as suggested by barbarossa2020 is definitely a good advice.

[MENTION=10967031]waltermobile[/MENTION]: I completely agree with barbarossa2020 that a corresponding hint in your guide would be a valuable addition to prevent other people from doing the same mistake that I did.

BTW: I can confirm that Bluetooth audio is not working in lineage OS.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] barbarossa2020:
I just got bluetooth working. Here are the steps I did to make it work:

1. Under Phh Treble Settings --> Misc features: tick (enable) the "disable audio effects" and "Force-disable A2DP offload" settings.

2. Enable developer options (multiple klicks on the About phone --> Build number item).

3. Go to developer options (System --> Advanced --> Developer options) and enable "Disable Bluetooth A2DP hardware offload". After changing this setting the system asks for a restart.

After restarting, bluetooth audio output and input (handsfree) works fine.

Hello [MENTION=10967031]waltermobile[/MENTION]

Do you know if it's possible to install LOS GSI without a SD card.

edit: grammar
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] Rohlfee37:
Ok, after some reading on this and Andy Yan's LOS 17 GSI thread I was encouraged enough to try flashing my Moto G8 one more since I haven't met with success with my last attempt.

So here is a rough guide and steps I did to install LOS 17 GSI on Moto G8 plus without flashing recovery or using previously mentioned methods with SD card. I was hoping to leave some links below with more detailed explanations but the XDA forum stop me from doing since I am a new user. Feel free to make some critique or leave comments if I am sharing some kind of disinformation and I'll correct my post accordingly.

Prerequisites are:

android-tools (adb and fastboot)

unlocked bootloader

correct system image

vbmeta image

If you are a linux user you might have to run all your fastboot commands as a super-user or a sudoer...

For those who are confused about how to identify the correct system image you need to check what CPU architecture your phone has and on which slot your stock ROM is installed (it's either A only or both A and B). To check your CPU arch run following command in your terminal:

adb shell getprop ro.product.cpu.abi

In my case the value returned was arm64-v8a which indicates we are dealing with 64bit ARM processor.

In order to find on which partition is your ROM installed you need to enter fastboot mode (adb reboot fastboot). Once you are in there run following:

fastboot getvar current-slot

In my case, my system was installed on slot b. Knowing the slot and the cpu arch you can identify the correct system image. For example mine was treble_arm64_bvS. After you downloaded and extracted your new ROM system image you'll need to flash your vmbeta file. This file is used for validating you ROM's signature on boot but considering we are on device that has unlocked bootloader which is a security risk on itself on much lower lever of the device we aren't going much into details on how vmbeta file works. If you are interested read the links bellow. Once you download and extract the public vmbeta image run command:

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

Now you can carry on with flashing the system image (where XYZ is name of your image file):

fastboot flash system XYZ.img

Optionally, don't forget to sideload gapps or carry on and reboot your device:

fastboot reboot

The device will try to boot twice and once the second attempt fails it will prompt you to either try booting again or factory reset the device. Select the factory reset options and you should hopefully be booting into your fresh LOS ROM.

Hope this helps to anyone wondering how to flash their Moto.

You guys should build a full tutorial on how to do it correctly, that would be very useful for the community as the G8 plus is now really needing new OS.

G8 plus actualizar

Mod Edit: translated using Google translate

I have g8 plus with Android 10 I installed it with the retail channel manually

I am retla worse, it still works, although it has two errors in android 10 as the calls

My question is that I want to go back to android 9 where?

Unlock the bootlloader and when installing the retla firmware it does not work, it appears that I have to block the bootlloader

original Spanish text

Tengo g8 plus con Android 10 lo instalé con canal retail manualmente

Soy retla peor igual sirve lo aunque tiene dos errores en android 10 como las llamadas

Mi pregunta es que quiero volver a android 9 donde?

Desbloquee el bootlloader y al instalar el firmware de retla no sirve me aparece que tengo que bloquear el bootlloader

[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] jhonatann989:
I have a xt-2019-2 with unlocked bootloader. I installed retail firmware (android 10). My original firmware was android 9 retla. Maybe you are flashing wrong firmware or doing a wrong step.

When I update to android 10 after unlock bootloader, I flashed every partition. I remembered having troubles of booting but it was because the HLOS partition (or something) failed to flash. I thought that it wouldn't be a problem but I was wrong. I reflash firmware again and I make sure to flash successfully every partition and my phone boots normally.

Now, I have unlocked bootloader with android 10. You should be able to flash any firmware, and that means you should be able to comeback to stock, just make sure to flash every partition contained in the firmware that you download.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] hendrack:
Worked per guide from Walter. Started with stock 10 rom, after flashing into slot B I had bootloop, flashed slot A, still bootloop.

TWRP flashed the images into system without error msg, but when rebooting TWRP warned me that no OS is installed.

I thought to myself I will bruteforce flash this m*f*** phone until it works. In between, I just wiped data again (because I did not factory reset before flashing I guess), then it worked. :ROFLMAO:

Used this image: https://sourceforge.net/projects/an...1-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvS.img.xz/download

Fingerprint unlock works, everything else will be tested when my wife goes to sleep ;)

Edit: Only thing missing seems to be NFC, everything else looks good. Bluetooth needs the workarounds posted earlier.

Magisk has some issue, flashed without error msg but shows n/a in magisk manager. Is this some issue because of blank vbmeta?
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] hendrack:
Allright. Magisk, NFC and GPS have issues.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] hendrack:
After some fiddling, this phone works very well with lineage 17 gsi. Magisk is kinda broken with lineage 18, gps works well with microg. Only NFC is missing. Camera, bluetooth, fingerprint works well.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] chevy42:
Good afternoon, I already have the twrp and I have tried to install gsi rom but at the moment in which I restart the cell phone it remains in bootloop. Can someone give me a guide on how to install the gsi rom correctly?
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] honor6xuser:
Have you tried the waltermobile guide described in post #26? Note that at the end of that post, there is also a description what to do if you end up in a boot loop.

[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] xdixa:
@Rohlfee37: Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

By following your instructions it was very easy for me to install LineageOS 18 GSI on my Moto G8 Plus. Everything worked exactly as you described.

I started from an Android 10 stock ROM and used the most recent treble_arm64_bvS image (I used version "lineage-18.1-20211214-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvS.img.xz").

GPS worked out of the box.

I managed to make Bluetooth work by following the instructions published in post #47 (@barbarossa2020: Thank you for sharing your findings).

Magisk did not work out of the box. Therefore, I used the Superuser app as suggested in #post-84139975 (@AndyYan: Thank you for the hint). This app works perfectly and I am using it to manage root access.

Comes with Seidio slim rubberized case and 6 GB Micro SD. Phone is about 6 months old. There is a small scratch on the top left of the phone (hence the case).

Currently I have L26_KaiserDiamond_V9 flashed on the phone w HardSPL 3.28, but will flash the ROM of your choice.

Opera 9.5 and TomTom 6 and 7 are installed. Have many other apps available to install too, so if you are looking for something pre installed let me know.

I'm shopping for an s10e. I've done a lot of searching but haven't found anyone specifically saying this will work or not.

Does wifi calling work? VOLTE? Anything else you could add?

I think it will work if with VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling you flash the service with the Unlocked (SM-G970U1) firmware. There is a thread that lasts it how to get access to our and flash it on different variants of the S10e. I'm at work so I can't hunt it down for you.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] alexandarpb:
Hello,

My A3 was unlocked with root, android 9 February security patch

Randomly Google play service stop working, after deleting cache it was fine.

Again randomly the prone start to act weird, restart it and then appear " Can't load android system. Your data may be corrupt."

The only options are try again and Factory data reset. ( like in the image https://i.redd.it/8nf9k5v33u1z.jpg )

Because i have important information i can't do factory reset so tried to flash stock fastboot rom with miflash.

Fastboot was accessible, BUT after trying to adb devices check it shows- List of devices attached* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 ** daemon started successfully * so it was not really able to connect. My Computer does not recognise it as Mi A3.

So after flashing fastboot Android One logo unlocked, appear several time, like blinking 4-5 times, and again jump in to fastboot mode.

First tried to flash V10.3.15.0.PFQEUXM, than V10.3.14.0.PFQEUXM. None of them did the work.

Attaching some logs.

By the way i use MiFlash20181115 it was the latest found

Thank you in advance , BE HAPPY and SAFE

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
1. avoid downgrades, your data might get corrupted and you'll end up with factory reset anyway

2. per the logs it seems that everything flashes correctly, make sure that you have partition A as active (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=81408355&postcount=2). Type both commands (one will fail) in cmd window with phone connected via fastboot.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pczsamqa:
Hello all,

I purchased a nexus 6 several moons ago as a backup phone and when I tested it, my sim card was recognized and I was able to send and receive messages. Today I am planning to use it but I realized that it is in demo mode. I can use the phone without any issues but it drains the battery as it keeps playing a nexus ads every few seconds and the phone is unusable as of right now.

I enabled the Developer Options but when I try to enter Developer Options it says that the device is locked. I have access to fastboot but if I enter "fastboot oem unlock", I get the following:

(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.

FAILED (remote: '')

fastboot: error: Command failed

I thought that the bootloader was locked and I registered on the motorola website to get the unlock code but it appears that the bootloader is unlocked. If I issue "fastboot oem get_unlock_data", I get the following:

(bootloader) This command is not needed to unlock. Run fastboot oem

I also tried to flash the bootloader with "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-71.10.img" and I get:

(bootloader) has-slot:bootloader: not found

(bootloader) is-logical:bootloader: not found

Sending 'bootloader' (3807 KB) OKAY [ 0.122s]

Writing 'bootloader' (bootloader) Unlock before flashing

FAILED (remote: '')

fastboot: error: Command failed

(bootloader) unlock directly.

Is there any thing that I can do to access the developer options?

Thank you.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] davidology:
Anyone having this problem? All of a sudden when I either receive a call or place a call, the Call app that does the overlay locks up and the screen goes completely unresponsive. I can't answer the call (except via a bluetooth device). Likewise with hanging up. I can't press the buttons to turn on speaker -- nothing works. The notification comes up green during a call with the phone icon, but no text.

Eventually: "Call is not responding" pops up, and I'm given the options to Wait or End the app. Ending the app sees it restart immediately and become unresponsive again. Rebooting the phone or waiting for the call to disconnect are my only ways out.

Beyond frustrating! Any ideas? HELP & thanks!
