Wipe system data cache and flash rom without gapps or magisk

Does it boot?

If yes wipe everything again and flash rom zip but flash gapps as well this time. And if it boots flash magisk (no need to wipe to flash magisk)

If magisk causes it to boot loop flash an older version

If none of the above works and you have the same issue trying to flash another rom eg lineage mint then its user error somewhere or an issue unrelated to the rom zip
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] PorkKnuckle:
Hi,

i updated my G5 to the official LOS. Although VoWifi and VoLTE are enabled in settings, none of them are working (They didn't work on the unofficial version either).

According to my network operator, these functions are activated.

Unter Phone Info (*#*#4636#*#* in dialer's app) it says "IMS Registration: Not Registered"

Is there anything I can do about this?

Thanks!
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] QRXpMUvS:
I tried without gapps and magisk, it does not boot, same with Mint.

So if I understand well, the problem is probably on my side :)

What I did :

New firmware using fastboot following these commands.

At this stage, TWRP had disappear (!), I reinstalled it using fastboot. Is it normal ?

Then I installed lineageos.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] HarpingOn:
I have the same problem. I can't get Lineage or Mint to boot on my Cedric.

I've tried TWRP 3.4 , and 3.5 and neither made a difference. I have been through the instructions on the lineage site many times, and I'm sure I'm not missing a step

But every time the device sticks at lineage boot logo for a long time, before returning to fastboot mode.

If I re-flash 8.1 using fastboot, the phone works again, then go from the top with twrp and lineage, and we're back to logo and eventually fastboot again.

So, although I cannot help yet, you are not alone.

Edit:

My cedric is the 3GB RAM XT1676 model which I think might be somewhat rare version?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] QRXpMUvS:
Thanks ! By chance, do you know any unofficial rom (not necessarely 17.1) correctly booting on 8.1 ?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] HarpingOn:
I have only tried mint and official 17.1. Get the same problem with both sadly.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] HarpingOn:
I just realised, on the installation instructions it says to flash the recovery from the lineage download page, not twrp

So I tried:

motog5> fastboot flash recovery lineage-17.1-20210225-recovery-cedric.img

target reported max download size of 535822336 bytes

Sending 'recovery' (18390 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.586s]

Writing 'recovery'...

(bootloader) Image size exeeded partition limits

(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

FAILED (remote failure)

The cedric recovery image on the download page is about 2MB larger than the TWRP recovery.

So should I be using the lineage provided recovery to flash this?

edit:

I managed to get the cedric to boot the lineage supplied recovery by doing:

motog5> fastboot boot lineage-17.1-20210225-recovery-cedric.img

I then used that recovery (looks good by the way, smart looking recovery), but after flashing the matching lineage-17.1 image ( adb sideload lineage-17.1-20210225-nightly-cedric-signed.zip) , I still get the long running boot animation, and dumped back into bootloader after a while.

I think I should stop now, I'm getting tired
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
For your info everyone: the OP is not the developer. I am neither. I just patch the official builds and that is Mint.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
If you could give me logs, I'll check.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] HarpingOn:
My problem was that I was starting from the GB release of Cedric stock 8.1 as I'm in the UK. If I flashed the GB version, then no Lineage ROM would boot. Not this, and not the Mint one.

If you check out the Mint thread, what I did was use Fastboot to flash an international version of stock 8.1, then I could add TWRP and flash this successfully.

I ended up testing Lineage With microG, but actually successfully flashed this, and Mint as well.

So I'd say to anyone struggling to get a working flash of this ROM, try a different CEDRIC set of fastboot files.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Lighto97:
as im aware, you need to flash from stock 8.1 but sometimes if youre on pie you gotta flash nougat and then oreo to flash custom roms i tried flashing that rom before but got no succes with bootlop but i didnt knew this i have tried unnoficial los 17 but never though about trying again the one from los page, guess its Worth a try
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Lighto97:
update: i got to flash and boot but the system reboots randomly, mostly when i open apps

also twitter doesnt login into my account for a weird reason dunno why. guess ill loke other roms around
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:
You need to been on oreo firmware to flash this rom - preferably the latest retail version

You also need gapps that are arm64 android 10 nano

See my instructions above for how to flash rom correctly (post #3)

Without any logs the devs will put it down to user error
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Lighto97:
oh damm i always forgot i have to send the log for them to track the issue, i already uninstaled anyway.

i did followed the steps the right way (thank you), right now im flashing stock nougat to try out LOS 14.1 (which i love and seems to be reeealy stable)
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] tfbb:
thank you very much to all involved for this … this gives a new lease of life to the moto g5. i tried both the official version and a microg4lineageos build - both work flawlessly afaict.

a few observations:

camera works, both photos and videos. the new camera app is quite usable.

coming from a build derived from codezeros 16.0-tree, i had to revert to the stock firmware to be able to install this. not doing so resulted in boot loops, wiping everything did not help

the los recovery cannot be flashed, it seems to be too big for the recovery partition. twrp works fine.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Lighto97:
i know how to boot with that LOS recovery, instead of flash comand you use boot command so the device will bot into recovery suing the image.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] klubad:
I installed the official LineageOS image for cedric a month ago, from a stock phone (I never installed a custom rom on this phone before).

I have some issues, but I don't find any comments about these issues here or in the official LineageOS gitlab tracker.

the dual sim is quite buggy (sometimes, i just can't get incoming call, sometimes I don't have data). for the moment I just dropped one sim card, things are better

the camera do not work. Right after some reboots, it works for a while (several hours), then the official camera app and OpenCamera refuse to open.

I followed the official instructions to flash. Is it possible I did something wrong? Or these bugs are really here for everyone?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
I don't think so, if you did something wrong, it would have more effects. I suggest opening a report there.

[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] dschrempf:
Hi! Thanks for this ROM! I have two questions wrt the recovery:

- Do I need the 32 or 64bit version of TWRP?

- Should I use the official latest version advertised in the neighboring thread TWRP 3.5.2_9?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] dschrempf:
OK, I found it is 64bit, see Architecture at https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/cedric.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Tiki Thorsen:
Warning; the latest update is is Lineage 18.1 (AKA Android 11) and it gives an error to start the download in OTA.

It must be manually installed it via TWRP.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
Sorry wrong thread
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] fleischbanane:
It worked for me when I pressed the download button a second time. But I didn't notice that it's Android 11. Seems that's the reason the Magisk Safetynet check failed.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] shutdown-h_now:
This upgrade should be installed using ADB as stated in https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/cedric/upgrade.

If you want to install via recovery then better use the appropriate LOS-recovery from https://download.lineageos.org/cedric and not TWRP.

It's not necessary to install this one on the phone. Just boot to bootloader and start by fastboot boot <LOS-recovery>.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] shutdown-h_now:
Since the very first LOS 17.1 from mid February 2021 and even now on 18.1 I observe a strange behaviour of the Moto G (5) - cedric:

Even if (particially - no GApps) using the "recipe" of posting #3 by @TheFixItMan the date and time of the phone is not correct when shut down and booted again.

It's always the date and time of the flashed ROM build that shows up and must be adjusted manually in settings.

Does anyone have a hint what to do or what I could have done wrong?

I remember that last year the same issue appeared with another Motorola phone (Moto G4 Play - harpia). It vanished after a few months with one of the weekly nightly updates. So it could perhaps be a ROM issue?
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] nift4:
It can be an ROM issue, but not many users care simply because network time sync is fine.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] shutdown-h_now:
Unfortunately network sync of date and time doesn't seem to work.

The phone only uses a "guest" WLAN, not the "normal" WLAN. So I guess it doesn't have the rights to use the sync feature. It also has no SIM card, so no sync via moblie network possible. But nevertheless thanks for your hint.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] iansterguy:
These two updates were working mostly fine for me

18.1-20210610 and an OTA upgrade to 18.1-20210617. I installed 18.1-20210624 right after without restarting to automatically upgrade the recovery. The WiFi would not turn on. After wiping data and flashing from scratch, WiFi worked.

The google play store didn't work though. I tried clearing app data and cache partition I bypassed my routers VPN, logged out of google, updated google services logged out, restarted logged back in. None of that worked so I gave up.

To make it work I ended up reverting to 18.1-20210617. I decided to skip all the setup wizards and left googles privacy at defaults just in case google was upset. Works fine now like before.

Bugs: In 18.1-20210610 at least The default camera app works at boot-up but can consistently fail to launch later. Restarting fixes it and when it works, it seems to work fine. Choosing a wallpaper from photos closes the app unless I switch to another On-Device Wallpaper first.

Overall 18.1-20210617 seems good, and for what it's worth I recommend it.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:
Wrong thread - this is for lineage os 17.1

And for lineageos 18.1 you need to use bitgapps 64 bit - not open gapps
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] SirRGB:
Bitgapps are unsafe. Use MindTheGapps, Flamegapps, Nikgapps or similar.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] TheFixItMan:
Unsafe? If you're going to say something like that you are going to have to back it up with some facts.

Nothing wrong with bitgapps. I have full safetynet pass using it
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] SirRGB:
What Rose tells you in cedric chat group:

no. Not BitGapps. They disable security features because the "dev" of BitGapps is to lazy to copy files from OpenGapps. Installing BitGapps means no support.

Edit:

someone said

To be exact, it disables priv app permission enforcement instead of configuring it like any normal gapps package.

Edit:

outdated information, sorry
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] iansterguy:
Sorry, I should have known the correct thread now is rom-unofficial-cedric-11-lineageos-18-1.4260293 I know the official maintainer is JarlPenguin. Just thought it meant something that he didn't update the thread name to official.

Note I didn't use Open gapps, I used, MindTheGapps for 18.1 from the suggested link in Lineageos Installation instructions. Seems I will be switching when I update.

Hello,

I have the exact same problem. Any help appreciated.

[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] dezzo77:
Did they ever solve the extremely high idle battery drain with the G5?

Every ROM I tried had very poor idle standby time, even with a very minimal set of apps installed, notifications off, etc etc. It was used as a music player only, and spent most of the time idle. On the OEM ROM the standby time would be many days, but with the Lineage ROMS and more conservative settings, it would need to be charged every day.
[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] hellwhynot:
Guess not. I'm on LOS 18.1, with a battery a couple months old and battery life is still not great compared to when I was still on Android 7. Battery drain suddenly became an issue after upgrading to Oreo and it has not improved since.

Background: Have rooted & installed custom roms & custom recoveries on several Samsung and Google phones in past. Now use Linux (not Microsoft PC) machine exclusively. Not highly skilled at terminal, but can follow instructions.

Have unlocked and achieved root on Pixel 4a with Feb Android 11 update. Unsatisfied with results. Seems rooting does not achieve freedom it previously did. Adaway, Titanium Backup, & others not working. Don't know is SuperSu is even applicable.

Have decided to unroot but remain unlocked. Can anyone offer direction?

Flash stock build through fastboot. Remove the -w flag on the flash.all script before doing so. Afterwards just run the "relock" fastboot commands....

If you remove the -w flag, nothing will be deleted.

Hi guys,

I've searched the forum and can't find any previous posts on this issue, but would apologise if it has been addressed somewhere already.

I got an XDA Ignito last week and ever since have been trying to install Tomtom 6 (which I bought specifically for the new phone) However, I always get No GPS device found as an error. I've checked all of the setting over and over again and know the gps is working because google maps can utilise it.

Has anybody else tried installing TomTom 6 on an Ignito or touch diamond or got any advice on how I might get this working?

Thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] gonzo.pete:
I had the same problem when I installed TomTom.

You may need to tell TomTom which Com Port to use.

1. Go to "change preferences"

2. Go to "show GPS status"

3. Then click "configure"

4. Choose "other NMEA GPS receiver"

5. Set baud rate to 4800

6. Then choose "com4"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] BadTasteUK:
Tom Tom 7 is out there, albeit not strictly legally. Works a treat on my Ignito, seems better than TT6.

Might be worth a try.

Hello i'm using poco X3 on Corvus OS v13 based on Android 11.

My issue is Magisk won't be installed by TWRP even if it doesn't show any errors, and btw i did already flash it and got root access 10 days ago and today i installed a magisk module called NFS Injector for gaming purposes by Magisk Manager , when i rebooted device in order to finish installation process of This module, i was surprised, no root access, i rebooted into TWRP insstalled Magisk root zip, it doesn't show error and it show "system as root" well when i reboot device and check root status i found "device isn't rooted" i reinstalled the zip 3 times but nothing happens, i uninstalled the Nfs module by re flashing it and it showed "uninstalled successfuly" and again i triee to install Magisk Zip and no root access

I'm pretty sure if i format data and restore the system to it's default settings, the problem can be solved but is there any alternative because i'm tired of restoring and installing apps and getting contacts 5 times per month.

Or can i root by PC, and is it safe to root by pc without bootloop or losing data ?

Thank you for your time

Trying to get Google phone /call screen working on 11 but the Magisk Sytemize app can't see any installed apps. This is because the folders listed under Data/App are not normal names but random character names. I have the TMO version but have installed the global 11 as well with same results. No other issues, all apps are seen in the app drawer ect. I use Solid explorer and can't move the app to system with it so I don't know of a way to get the Google phone app to system/priv-app where it needs to be for working call screen.

But after i put on the charger, Clock (and other screensavers) never shown :( What is wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] M1chiel:
I think this only works while running the clock app. My solution is that I made a bixby routine that turns the always on display on when I connect my phone to a charger and another bixby routine turns the AOD off when I disconnect.

[F(x)tec Pro1-X Guides, News, & Discussion] d3xt3r01:
Hello,

So after wanting one after the campaign ended ... I ended up "ordering one" last month ... waiting for news ... and the first one is .. a downgrade in SoC.

F(x)tec tries to up-play it as being newer and with better battery life... newer, ok... better battery life, not interested. Never had an issue with battery life given I always carry a power pack with me.

I'd rather get something with 5G given I do have 5G available. And at this point I'd rather wait for something with wifi 6E.

They also try to up-play it that I might be able to sell it for a profit ... No, I won't .. it's already overpriced ! And it's a niche product not many are interested ! 0 chances ! I probably won't be able to sell it for half the price ! And let's not talk about warranty and the fact that UK is out of EU.

So, now they say I can't ask for a refund .. after not even being bothered to ask the community that helped in what direction to go ?!

I for one am not happy about this change !

I don't want it anymore. For all I know they could of planed this. They could of even try to sell a 632 or worse for the same money ! I don't see myself wining anything in this change !

So now we have to wait more months ... for something lower ?! I'd rather pay more and get something better if I have to wait.

XDA, what's your oppinion ?
[F(x)tec Pro1-X Guides, News, & Discussion] ekagero:
Seeing it the same way!!! It's a shame!! Not only for F(x)Tec but also for all XDA!!!

I also would have rather payed more/waited longer for a better performing SOC! A company who has even a bit of decency would have upgraded not downgraded!

@d3xt3r01 you already know that they don't refund?

If so I also will need to get in contact with my credit card company, for me that is fraud. Any other ideas what we can do?
[F(x)tec Pro1-X Guides, News, & Discussion] d3xt3r01:
@ekagero yes, already got a reply from their support saying no refund and that I did an investment.

I ordered an 'indemand' after the campaign ended... On jan 7th. I then sent an email to make sure everything is still ok. They didn't say anything about a change. Doubt they didn't know then. I consider that a lie.

The indiegogo campaign page is full of comments from many users not happy with the change and a few defenders...

Already talked to my bank.

At least they could have given us a 700 series SoC. This is just a blatant bait-and-switch.
