[updated]

I consider buying a Moto G8 plus, or a G8 power. A disadvantage of the plus is that it only has Android 9, has not even received 10, and probably will never get 11. Besides, I read that Motorola's in general has a bad reputation regarding updating.

I came across the GSI/Treble topic. I have no experience with it. As I understand, it would enable me to the update to 11 myself. And keep doing that for later versions, or even 10 to start with.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

I found explanations like these.

Android 11 R GSI for Treble Supported Android device

Generic System Image

So my question are.

Is the G8 plus compatible to start with?

Has anyone actually used it already?

What did you do, is there a DSU?

Does it easily work? Did you run into problems?

How much did it influence functionality of your phone? For the Motorola part, GSM, other?

Thanks a lot!
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] thefabgar:
Treble is supported by the G8 Plus, so if you can unlock the bootloader, you should be able to install it.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] carl.13:
Unlock Bootloader code is available from Motorola.

Run a couple of GSI on other devices; Android 10.

Reluctant to try moto g8 plus. Carl
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] Couchraver:
It is supposed to support treble project. But I must warn you. I got a G8 plus, unlocked the bootloader, tried to upgrade to Android 10 using a GSI rom and couldn't make it work. Not even with lineage, not even with the stock rom again. It is still semi- bricked without being able to make it work since couple days ago. There is something weird about this phone, all the things that should work and which do actually work on other Android phones , with this, they just don't.

EDIT//

I made it work again flashing all files from stock rom 1 by 1 after locking and unlocking bootloader again.

But i think for a long time i won't be in the mood to try and play with the system of this phone again.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] edtsz:
I'm in the same situation. The most weird thing was that the GSI ROM from android official developers website worked. (but that ROM is just for testing apps on a simulator or something like that)

Even TWRP is not working 100%.. It boots fine into recovery but touch stop working after flashing into boot partition.

so I flashed back to stock rom and is running again.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] ecobos:
I just managed to install the GSI from phhusson/treble_experimentations, but I had to flash vbmeta.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] chevy42:
if the GSI rom served you? could you give screenshots? and how did he do it?
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] SnowTalker:
I have gotten lineage os 17.1 successfully working on my g8 plus with the help of a unofficial build from Andy Yan I think. There was also a Android 10 gsi build but it wasn't as great as lineage os so I flashed lineage and it booted right up first try successfully working with root and mauronofrios build of twrp working so you get all things working with the g8 plus but nothing has released officially. Hope this helps! :)
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] chevy42:
Could you make a tutorial to be able to install it successfully? Thank you
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] SnowTalker:
Yeah sure. Go to https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...FjAAegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw26jTQFwtpMBNoOek36E-3g

And make sure you get the latest twrp build and download it, after that put the build on your PC and your phone. Then on your PC open a powershell or command prompt on your desktop (shift plus right click) put your phone in bootloader mode and on your PC do the following command: "fastboot boot name.img" name is the name on the build btw and if successful you should boot into twrp, after that click install and choose the twrp build img and flash it. After that reboot your phone and go to magisk manager and download the zip for root and go back to twrp and flash that and then reboot and you now have root.

As for custom roms just follow this tutorial I found from

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...Vaw1DjEbfH6672uJRqdf82EiX&cshid=1592440507846

I hoped this helped, if it didn't you can ask me about it :)
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] chevy42:
I'm scared to jump my phone haha, I wish there was a video tutorial to do it better.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] SnowTalker:
Unless you do something really stupid with twrp or root, it really wasn't a bother, honestly it was pretty easy but it took me a while to find things as this was my first phone to root successfully... But it's up to you if you want to risk it. imo it isn't bad to try something new either :)
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] chevy42:
How about the rom? Is it faster than the stock rom? What bugs does the rom have?
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] SnowTalker:
The ROM plus flashed gapps (google apps) uses less ram then the stock ROM but it takes away motos core features including the double chop to turn the flashlight on and other things. Plus you can't use the ultra wide lense anymore and you would have to have a aftermarket camera (I use a google camera port) there is a lot of wins and losses but in the end I think lineage os is better than stock for the customization imo.

Oh and I forgot, I have not experienced any bugs other than the system UI stopping randomly (very rare) so it's a really well bug free ROM (in my use).
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] felixp_:
I personally don't recommend you to buy a Motorola. since Lenovo bought Motorola they are not the same and they all have connectivity problems. In addition, the moto g8 plus has problems with wifi, Bluetooth and screen burn.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] SnowTalker:
I haven't had any problems with WiFi or Bluetooth, I haven't got a screen burn in yet (knock on wood) but I think you got a defected device. Lenovo isn't bad with they're new devices I think they are ok although I wasn't around when it was just Motorola :confused:
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] ecobos:
Sure, here's one [IMG="Treble GSI on the moto G8 Plus"]https://crisal.io/random/treble-moto-g8-plus.png[/IMG]

One gotcha is that Bluetooth audio didn't quite work. I had to disable a2dp offloading and disable audio effects from the treble config to get them to work.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] chevy42:
How is the performance of the phone with that rom?
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] merlinolillo:
Which GSI did you manage to install?
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] ecobos:
It seems pretty decent, haven't had any perf issues. My brother has the same phone but with the stock ROM and perf seems similar. Anything in particular you were looking for?

system-quack-arm64-ab-floss.img.xz from phhusson/treble_experimentations (sorry, I'd link but I'm a newb here so I still can't post outside links :)).

I ended up installing google play services in the end because otherwise a 2FA app I need for work, plus a bank app would refuse to work, sadly. I used the "pico" variant of opengapps.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] Ramaiz:
yes the g8 supports gsi, not all, i already tested arrowOS, bootleggers, crdroid, dotos, havoc, lineage, aosp, descendantx some android 9 other 10 all worked very well and without bugs for my use
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] Moto2death:
What I'm doing wrong?

fastboot flash system lineage-17.1-20200607-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvN.img

The flash process is running smoothly, no errors. After the reboot the system starts TWRP which was installed earlier.

Any ideas?
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] Ramaiz:
I left stockrom with magisk installed and dm-verity deactivated and realized that without doing this process in the rom stock the gsi just didn't work for me, but I didn't try to flash straight through fastboot, my tip would be to go back to the stockrom with magisk dm-verity deactivated and after that in twrp do wipe, format data, type yes and flash gsi as system image.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] tripper22:
Was Bluetooth working? Encryption? Which one did you think was best? Thanks. :)
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] waltermobile:
Ok, after many failed attempts (I actually bought a different phone in the meantime), I finally managed to get Lineage running on my Moto G8 Plus. The crucial steps to get this to work were to

download the correct lineage img file (in my case the ‘arm64_bvN’ file)

to have a working stock rom and NOT wipe the vendor image

to install Magisk directly after installing the lineage img

Bluetooth audio is not working yet, so I will try the fix suggested by ecobos. I did not have time yet to check if all other features are working, so I might post an update at a later point in time.

Also, since there does not seem to exist a detailed description of how to install lineageOS on the Moto G8 Plus, I will also try to make a step-by-step guide and post it here.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] waltermobile:
I installed LineageOS and have the same problem that Bluetooth audio does not work. I found the a2dp offloading switch in developer options. Can you specify how you 'disabled audio effects'? Thank you!
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] comcloudway:
Hard Bricked?

Followed your guide and everything went fine till I rebooted at the end.

Now my phone wont boot at all - I assume its hard bricked?

I found this article: On how to unbrick a hard bricked Moto G7 Play. And was wondering whether it also works with the Moto G8 Plus or if it does work at all.

Maybe someone got some experience with it.

Thanks in advance
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] waltermobile:
What do you mean with 'won't boot at all'? Can you get to the boot loader with power + vol down, while connected to your PC? In that case you should easily be able to flash the individual files from the strock rom zip, as described at the end of my post above. (BTW this process is the same as described in the second part of the Moto G7 description you mentioned above. Obviously, when flahsing the individual stock rom files, you should take the correct stock rom for your Moto G8, and not the G7 stock from the other post).

Or does your phone actually does not respond to any hardware input and does not even boot to Bootloader (as described in the Moto G7 link you shared)? In this case we would need to figure out if this 'blankflash' tool (or something similar) works / exists for the Moto G8 Plus. Have you read through the original XDA post that your lik refers to? https://xdaforums.com/g7-plus/how-to/hard-brick-moto-g7-plus-downgrade-t3958608

I have read the main post and downloaded this blankflash tool. The main component seems to be the 'Qualcomms EDL (Emergency DownLoad) mode', which seems to be the qboot.exe file in the blankflash.zip. If I were you, I would NOT run this tool before having conducted thorough research.

In the comments of that XDA post, someone also mentioned this site https://xdaforums.com/general/general/update-moto-lenovo-moto-smart-assistant-t3951714

But first of all, please check if you can boot to bootloader. If that is the case, your problem should be very easy to fix by flashing the indiviudal stock rom files (I had to do this several times while figuring out how to install GSI)
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] comcloudway:
Have checked wether I can boot into bootloader as I fixed the phone like this before. Was using the RSD Flash-Tool for GNU/Linux( Running Arch (and I know that the tool in specified in the link is not available for Linux)) back then.

But my phone wont react to any hardware input, nor will it charge
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] xdixa:
I followed your guide. However, when flashing the system image (lineage-17.1-20200713-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvN.img) TWRP shows me the following error message:

simg2img '/sdcard1/lineage-17.1-20200713-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvN.img' '/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system_a' process ended with ERROR: 255

I get this error message with both TWRP 3.4.0-0 and TWRP 3.3.1-23.

My current slot is Slot A.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Update:

After switching to Slot B, I managed to install "lineage-17.1-20200713-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN.img". However, the installation of Magisk 20.4 fails with the following error message:

[. . .]

! Unsupported/Unknown image format

- Unmounting partitions

Updater process ended with ERROR: 1

Error installing zip file '/sdcard1/Magisk-v20.4.zip'

Now, I am caught in a bootloop :(
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] SnowTalker:
You need to flash twrp on slot b because it doesn't stay when you switch slots... Also, did you flash copy Partitions?
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] xdixa:
I did not flash twrp, because I thought installing it is optional. I just started it "temporarily" using fastboot.

I first tried to install lineage without having flashed "copy partitions" (which is not mentioned in waltermobile's guide). Only after getting the error message mentioned above, did I try to install omnirom. Therefore, I flashed "copy partitions" as described in the instructions for installing omnirom. However, trying to install lineage after having flashed "copy partitions" produced the same error message.

Do I need to flash "copy partitions" in order to install lineage?

Initially, I had the stock ROM version XT2019-1_DOHA_RETEU_9.0_PPIS29.65-51-5 installed on my device (as opposed to version . . .51-3). Could this be the reason for the error message?
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] SnowTalker:
I would flash stock firmware for your software channel as you stated "RETEU" and retry at least flashing lineage os by booting twrp temporarily.... Hopefully that fixes your problem.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] waltermobile:
can you flash stock rom with the instructions at the end of my guide? Also, note that I updated my guide. Instead of flashing magisk during installation, you can get LOS to work by fashing an empty vbmeta file before you start.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] xdixa:
[MENTION=10894995]SnowTalker[/MENTION] / [MENTION=10967031]waltermobile[/MENTION]: Thank you very much for your help!

1. I have successfully fixed my bootloop by flashing the newest stock ROM version XT2019-1_DOHA_RETEU_9.0_PPIS29.65-51-5 (not the "51-3" version) using the following commands:

fastboot getvar max-sparse-size

fastboot oem fb_mode_set

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

# Comment: I skipped the following two steps, because I read somewhere that these steps might unrecoverably delete device specific data such as the IMEI

# fastboot erase modemst1

# fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin

fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5

fastboot flash oem oem.img

fastboot flash oem_b oem_other.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

fastboot erase carrier

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase ddr

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

fastboot reboot

2. I have successfully installed TWRP and Magisk-v20.4.zip

3. After verifying (in the installed TWRP) that my current slot is Slot A, I tried to install lineage OS as described in waltermobile's guide. However, it failed again with the following error message:

simg2img '/sdcard1/lineage-17.1-20200713-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvN.img' '/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system_a' process ended with ERROR: 255.

BTW: I think there is a typo in the guide which should be corrected as follows: "Go back to main TWRP menu, click ‘Wipe’, then ‘Advanced Wipe’ and wipe 'System' and 'Vendor'

'Data'

but NOT ‘MicroSD’ (we need the files copied to the SD card) and NOT ‘Vendor’."

Should I try to flash the "51-3" version of the stock ROM before installing lineage?
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] SnowTalker:
Yes make sure your on the latest software version.... Also, np ?
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] xdixa:
The latest version is the "51-5" version (June 2020) which I flashed as described above. Version "51-3" is the previous version (April 2020). This is why I asked.

Question 1: Did you use the latest version (i.e. "51-5") or the previous one (i.e. "51-3")?

The guide refers to version "51-3" and describes executing "fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.N" for N from 0 to 12. However, the version "51-3" zip file which I downloaded from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip only contains "system.img_sparsechunk.N" files for N from 0 to 5 (the same is true for the version "51-5" zip file).

Similarly, the zip file only contains "system_b.img_sparsechunk.N" files for N = 0 and N = 1, but not for N from 0 to 4 as stated in the guide.

Question 2: Did you have "system.img_sparsechunk.N" files for N from 6 to 12 and "system.img_sparsechunk.N" files for N from 2 to 4 in the zip file you used?
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] SnowTalker:
Answer to question 1; I've been on 51-3 for all ROMs I've flashed, and gsis

Answer to question 2; no I have not had more than 5 sparsechunks for me, 5 sparsechunks on slot a and 2 sparsechunks on slot b....

Thank you very much for your help.

Next, I will try to flash version "51-3" and see whether I can install LOS afterwards.

I will post my findings here . . .

Thank you [MENTION=10894995]SnowTalker[/MENTION] and [MENTION=10518525]xdixa[/MENTION] for helping to improve this guide, I have updated my post accordingly. I had only 4 sparsechunks, but left the other rows in for compatibility with future stock versions. Also, I removed the erase modemst1 rows from the stock rom script.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] xdixa:
Unfortunately, I am still not able to install lineage OS :(

Here is what I tried last:

- I flashed version "51-3" of the stock ROM.

- I booted the stock ROM, activated debugging and checked that everything is working correctly (including Bluetooth audio).

- I installed TWRP version 3.4.0-0 and Magisk version 20.4.

- I booted again the stock ROM and checked that Magisk is successfully installed.

- I flashed the empty vbmeta.img file.

- I booted the installed TWRP and checked that my current slot is slot A.

- I wiped "Data" and "System".

However, when flashing the system image (lineage-17.1-20200713-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvN.img) TWRP shows me again the following error message:

simg2img '/sdcard1/lineage-17.1-20200713-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvN.img' '/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system_a' process ended with ERROR: 255

Update:

Further, I tried to install lineage OS on slot B as follows:

- In the installed TWRP I clicked on "Reboot -> Slot B" to activate Slot B.

- I flashed '/sdcard1/lineage-17.1-20200713-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN.img' successfully.

- I installed Magisk 20.4 successfully.

However, when clicking on "Reboot -> System" I got the following error message (in white and red text):

Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot.

Question 1: Is there anything else I could do in order to install lineage OS?

Question 2: Could anyone tell me why the xda thread regarding OmniROM for Moto G8 plus disapeared?
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] SnowTalker:
Answer to question 1. Reflash stock firmware and retry that, if it didn't work flash copy Partitions and boot slot b and flash it on that slot....

Answer to question 2. Didn't have permission to start the thread in the first place.
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] xdixa:
Thank you for your help.

I already flashed the stock ROM successfully several times (version 51-3 as well as version 51-5), but failed each time to install lineage OS (see my previous posts).

I also tried to flash lineage OS on Slot B, but failed again (see my last post).

To boot slot B I clicked on "Reboot -> Slot B" in the installed TWRP. Or should I have done this in a different way?

Could you possibly explain to me what the "copy partions" exactly does?
[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] barbarossa2020:
@waltermobile

First off, thanks a lot for your detailed guide!

I have a Moto G8 Plus XT2019-1 (motorola/doha_reteu_n/doha_n:9/PPI) since around 2 months and have tried to install Andy Yan's Lineage OS 17.1 several times without success. The descriptions I found via search engines have all been incomplete or simply wrong. At least for my phone.

I followed your guide (skipped the first part on active slots) and it worked for me (I also used arm64_bvN). In my case the key step which I had read about before but didn't know how to execute is flashing the empty vbmeta file. Thanks a lot for describing this step so clearly and also for linking to an empty vbmeta file. I also didn't have to install Magisk to make things work.

One small addition I have for your guide is to ensure the files that are copied to the micro SD card are copied correctly (e.g. using md5sum check afterwards). I noticed that I got corrupt files on the SD card several times after copying or unplugging the SD card from the computer. This resulted in strange error messages when trying to flash with TWRP which sent me off on searches that didn't lead anywhere since they had the simple cause of corrupt data on the SD card.

Another topic is the active slot and if it is related to what Lineage image file is the correct one. In my opinion I don't think they are related. According to Andy Yan's description (on his sourceforge download page) the bvN version should be used whenever there are two slots (AB). When checking the ARM architecture on my phone it was 64-bit and hence arm64_bvN should be the right image. But maybe someone can ask Andy what the right method of choosing image is?

My observations of Lineage OS 17.1 so far are:

1. Bluetooth connects but doesn't send audio (I have only tried with a bluetooth speaker so far, not with a bluetooth headset yet). I tried the settings @ecobos wrote about "disable a2dp offloading and disable audio effects from the treble config" but that didn't help in my case. I have tried many different (maybe all possible) combinations of audio related Phh Treble Settings but none have helped so far.

Everything else seems to be working fine. I'll report back if I notice anything else that is strange.

Changelog

19 Aug 2020

Removed mention of low volume being a problem. This seems to have been a transient problem which disappeared after a reboot. Now the volume is fine (both speakers are working).
