Here's what I recommend. Download the official Motorola G5 Plus (Potter) Oreo firmware, POTTER_RETAIL_8.1.0_OPSS28.85-17-6_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip from whatever site you can find it (https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/potter/official/RETAIL/). Extract the zip file in the same folder as fastboot.exe.

With the phone in fastboot mode execute each of the following commands one at a time:

fastboot oem fb_mode_set

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin

fastboot flash oem oem.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 system system.img_sparsechunk.6

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase customize

fastboot erase clogo

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

fastboot reboot

If the phone reboots and starts up then great. After it starts go to Settings and enable Developer Options. In Developer Options enable ADB and OEM Unlock.

If the phone doesn't boot properly then sorry. You will have tried to install the official retail version.

[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] roundaway:
Confirm the ROM you tried to install is the correct one for your phone:

Moto G5 Plus = potter

Moto G5 = cedric

Also, the files to be flashed should be in the same folder as the fastboot.exe files.

There are multiple problems with the phones. One is it won't accept a fastboot flash of factory firmware. Second problem might show up after/if the phone reboots and that is the infamous IMEI = 0.

The OP's getvar all command didn't reveal the (bootloader) ro.build.fingerprint information which would tell us the firmware version installed. However, the bootloader number appears to be the current Oreo version. That was one reason for flashing the latest version of the Oreo firmware.

The only other thing to try would be to download the latest version of TWRP into the same folder as fastboot.exe and try:

fastboot boot twrp.img (where twrp.img is the filename of the latest twrp)

If the phone boots into twrp then download the latest twrp flashable Oreo and copy and paste to the phone. Try and Install it. Big longshot because the bootloader is probably locked..
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Akahat27:
Dont worry dude, I have been there and came out of it.

First of all sorry for being late.

What you have to do is

1. connect your phone to your pc with with a pc or laptop.

L2. Download Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant lll from the Official website. Just search on google.

3. Make sure you install it on the C: Drive only, with administrative rights.

4. Run it, it will ask for your Lenovo login id. Now you need to go to Lenovos website from the browser, register a new one.

And after 5-10 mins login with the same id.

5. Well, if you are unable to login due to un responsive page, use a vpn .

6. After you login go for "Rescue".

7. Choose the option which says, Phone not able to boot or start.

8. It would automatically detect your device if it's connected to a pc with a cable and is in fastboot mode.

9. It fails to detect sometimes, so you can try manually enter your device.

10.Now it would download the latest stock rom, there would be a small download text which is hyperlinked.

11. Once completed it might ask to "Rescue".

It will start working, it might look like it's stuck, but it not, it can take from 5 mins to 30 mins or even more.

12. After the process is complete, just boot your phone normally, or it might boot automatically.

13. Enjoy.

If there's something wrong any problem or error,

Let me know.

This didn't work. Smart Assistant couldn't detect the device I am trying to Rescue. Can you suggest something else?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lamunra:
Hey there,

apologies in case I'm in the wrong thread for my my following problem.

Before some of you shout out loud: Yes, I have read multiple forum threads (and various youtube videos) from people facing the same issue (and only coming up with flashing stock ROM). And yes, I'm kind of pissed by Samsung's protectiveness of their product. Just hating to have to deal with the tons of crap preinstalled and not having the choice :eek: Plus, I loved the Resurrection Remix on my previous phone...

I've been trying to flash twrp to my samsung a505fn and already succeeded to get the bootloader unlocked. But now I also ended up with the evil "custom binary (vbmeta) blocked by frp lock". It seems that the bootloader remains continuously locked although the OEM shows unlocked and I can't trick the system with changing the date or waiting 7 days.

Yes, okay, I know I can use Odin to flash the stock firmware and be back to point one - the ****ing stock ROM I so desperately try to get rid of. Did anybody find a way to recently flash Samsung devices with a custom ROM?

If so: how do you bypass this issue, as you can't simply flash twrp and then use the "RMM_Bypass_v3_corsicanu.zip" file which would eradicate this problem... Anyone who can guide me on this rocky path?

Please help, I just want a decent OS... :crying:

Any help is welcome and again sorry, if I posted in the wrong place.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
You have to remove on phone the FRP lock, what got activated when you registered your phone with Google.

Several videos exist on Youtube on how to do so.

Take note that some methods involve the complete loss of all user data.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prashantp01:
You can install RR GSI :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lamunra:
Thank you for your reply. That's what I have already tried. If you refer to a specific video, could you please give me detailed URL? I have found plenty of vids which got me nowhere and I am sick of trying random recommendations. And yes, I know how to google and yes, I know how to browse youtube... I expected these kind of helpful hints ;) No offense intended
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lamunra:
That's a hint that sounds rather interesting, will have to look into this... Thanks. May I get back to you in case I get stuck?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
AFAIK an Android GSI can only get installed on devices that are fully Treble-compliant.

You check for Treble support by running the following command sequence:

adb devices
adb shell "getprop ro.treble.enabled"

If the response is false, then the device isn't compatible with GSI and you shouldn't continue.
[Redmi Note 9 Pro Max Questions & Answers] M T I SHOHEL:
As I want to root my phone, it's need to be unlock bootloader. I followed the rule of unlocking boot loader. When I tried to mi unlock my device by computer, Its noticed me that " couldn't unlock. Please unlock 168 hours later. And do not add your account in MI again, otherwise you will wait from scratch.''

My question will come from notice,

1. Have any way to unlock the device before 168 hours?

2. Can I I unlock my device by the same MI account ( And do not add your account in MI again, otherwise you will wait from scratch.) ?

3. " And do not add your account in MI again, otherwise you will wait from scratch.'' means?

Device: redmi note 9 Pro Max ( Indian)
[Redmi Note 9 Pro Max Questions & Answers] Eddy1593:
1. No, when you unlock bootloader for the first time on a device you have to wait for 7 days, especially when the device is new in the market

2.yes

3. After your request for bootloader unlock (i.e when the mi unlock shows 168 hours) do not add you account in the mi unlock status option in developer setting or you'll have to wait for 7 days again.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] shady79:
Ok so i sat on my Tilt and busted my LCD. Me and my fat A$$!! I then went on eBay and bought a replacement for 40$, get it a few days later and start the operation. Following along precisely with a picture tutorial on how to disassemble, put in the new LCD and start the reassembly. I soon realize that the ribbon cable connector on the new LCD is just slightly outta place compared to the old one. After managing to get it on and having difficulty reassembling my Tilt,I insert the battery and the screen actually works...for about 10 seconds.... so i disassemble and reassemble a few more times trying to fix it and no luck. I then read about sub-par lcd's from eBay causing glitches and weird things to happen. I then proceed to kick my self in the a$$ numerous times. I have contacted the seller and he agreed to replace it. My question being.. has anyone had success with a replacement LCD from Ebay? if so who was the seller? And do any of the almighty here have any words of wisdom for a feeble tilt owner such as myself?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eskimochaos:
Yea I have words of wisdom, pay $hit get $hit.

That's what happens when you "buy it now" the cheapest screen on eBay
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Shep:
Screen

I can only add this since I have not "yet" had to replace a tilt screen. I have however replaced others including a T-Mobile Dash screen.

If you have push tabs on the socket for the ribbon cable - make sure they are pushed in and secure. I "did not" do this the first time I installed the Dash LCD and got pretty much the same results you spoke of for the Tilt. Upon dissassembly/reassembly - I discovered that the tabs were not down and secure. Sevured them and I was up and running!

Hope it helps you out.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zakiwashi:
hi there. not sure who you bought your screen off of, but here is the one i bought and successfully fitted a week ago

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110273898639

i actually think it is more sensitive than the original screen.
[Redmi Note 9 Pro (International Model) General and] markbnj:
howdy

Because there was no dedicated thread here on XDA for the redmi note 9 pro (international) on how to root phone

I tried it kind of on my own:

I went here first

to try and unlock the bootloader.

(fyi) it told me I had to wait (I think) 176 hrs or about 1 week before it let me do it.

The problem is that when I try fastboot recovery I get the Redmi flash program instead of TWRP

(I also installed the Miflashtool from here

Thinking about it, I should be able to use THAT tool to install

what I believe is a good TWRP image (from here)

Will update as I make progress!!

cheers, and I do like this phone. fast, spiffy, and even larger then the Note 10 I use for work!

ok, tried the redmi flash tool, and tried to see if I could get the image , it will see the phone after I do a refresh, but cannot find a script

So that doesn't work.

Apparently I need to figure out how to uninstall the redmi recovery partition, so I can install the twrp partition.

at least it boots into android and isn't broken. That's a start!

cheers

[Redmi Note 9 Pro (International Model) General and] daigtas:
so far i know for sure that this phone requires vbmeta.img and correct twrp (twrp-3-4-1b-joyeuse-fix-img) to be installed bu before that erase he recovery o be sure that it will not be corupted. \

Next thing is to deal with he encryption. Disable it with the given scripts at any guide you can find, there is plenty of them. Why? It is known that it may trigger the phone to self encrypt without asking you for permission. Yesterday i wiped out and started from scratch 5-6 times becouse of this crap. so thinking to avoid TWRP and make mod of fastboot rom and flash that. Will see how it will go.

Hello my friends, finaly I succeded to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP (mauronofrio), it works fine... but I didn't worked with a RedmiMi phone till now and when I want to take a nandroid backup I'm confused in TWRP... I don't know what to select for backing up... I found two options "super" with the same size... which of them to select? I'm not sure but I think this is the system partition. Am I wrong?

For backing up I'd selected boot, data and one of those two super option. Am I wrong? Or maybe somedy can tell me what is necesary to select for backup...please I need help! Thank you.

Edit

I'm back my friends, excuse me please... but this way to backup is useless! I tried another ROM and I want to return to the old one but without succes... Yes, the restored backup was "succesfully"... and was ended up with a boot loop and no way to regain access to my system. I had to flash everything from scratch... So, please, can anybody tell me which of the TWRP options should be chosen for a successfully usable backup and restore? Thank you.

Thanks Bob!

I'm on A10 with unlocked bootloader. I made all EDL tool backups when on A9 but these were done before correcting the typos as suggested. So I am not confident of successfully flashing back to A9 (preference).

Therefore I will likely flash the magisk-patched boot files to attempt root and report my experience...

[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Crackass:
Hey thanks for the post. I'm thinking about buying the phone but have a quick question. Can I update to the latest version of Android 9 before unlocking or will the OTA be Android 10. How would I go about updating to the latest version version of Android 9 and not go to Android 10. Can I download the Android 9 OTA from somewhere and flash that one? Thanks in advance for the help!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bobthenormal:
:good: I think your question borderlines on needing its own thread in the Q&A section but I'll answer you anyway...

Currently as long as you are on A9 when you get the phone you can just do OTA updates from firmware version 1.10 to 1.11 to 1.13 (not sure what android security update that is), after 1.13 it goes to A10.

There is an A10 firmware available from ZTE to SD card sideload. Once installed it has to be updated to the latest A10 via a couple OTA updates.

Going directly from A9 to A10 via OTA goes directly to the latest version.

You cannot flash the A9 OTA... because flashing an OTA is an oxymoron... but I guess you mean can you download the A9 firmware and flash them. The answer is... maybe. ZTE does not offer official downloads any A9 firmware for A2002U (USA version), only A10.

They do offer A9 firmware for A2020G (european) and I think other foreign versions (RU, CN). These cannot be interchanged, if you have the US or EU or CN phone you need to use that firmware... from what I have read. I could be wrong, I don't have those phones.

But there is an unofficial stock A9 firmware for the A2020U here on the forums, uploaded by [MENTION=5987950]rafyvitto[/MENTION] . That will get you to.. I forget.. 1.11? That can be flashed using the original EDL tool or, with a little modification, the EDL tools in this thread.

Additionally.. if I ever get around to it... I plan to upload all three A9 firmware packages for the US version which can be flashed with the EDL tools in this thread. Not sure if it's really necessary, but I have them.. it's just a matter of figuring out hosting them and spending the time to upload them.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] rafyvitto:
Just wanted to chime in, interchanging firmware between each model is possible, you would only need to reflash your model/nonhos/tz partitions to the ones of your variant to have working ril/fod fp/sensors.
