1. Looks like my mount data internal storage 0 mb issue is resolved (flashed stock ROM and then custom ROM and did not see this error).

2. Regarding how I flashed stock ROM Android 8.1. I downloaded 'Motorola_Moto_G5S_Plus_XT1804_SANDERS_RETAIL_8.1.0_OPSS28.65-36-9_CID50_8.1.0.zip' image from:

After that I was able to turn ON phone with Android 8.1.0. Checked for updates and installed them (i guess there were 3 security updates). Once done, entered bootloader and installed TWRP and flashed PE 11 plus. After reboot, it is again stuck at google logo (G) screen.

One more suggestion i need: Since I have spent a lot of time debugging this and ultimately I have to encrypt my phone. So below queries:

A. Is there any known issue with PE 11 plus on my G5S plus? If so, any workaround?

B. Is it discouraged to encrypt G5S plus running PE 11?

C. I am using 'Settings->Encrypt Phone' to encrypt phone. Should I try any other way?

Thanks and Regards.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] sBinnala:
Correct. Encryption doesn't work yet on PE 11 (actually it doesn't work on most Sanders ROMs). If encryption + SELinux enforcing is important for you, stock ROM is the only option.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] andromeda1410:
Thanks sBinnala for help. At this point I am convinced that I will not install custom ROM. So I want to have stock ROM (Android 8.1) preferably.

Thing is yesterday I installed Android 8.1 stock rom (exact steps mentioned above), worked fine. Flashed PE 11 plus and phone got stuck at google logo screen. Searched again and though it to be some modem related issue hence I did below steps as mentioned on https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-11-sanders-pixelexperience-normal-plus-aosp.4247243/ by Jorge:

It is recommended that you are using the latest firmware for the Moto G (5S) Plus.

to update via twrp:

Modem only:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ne...5-36-14_v2.0-modem-only_20210307.zip/download

Modem, Fsg & dsp:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ne...S28.65-36-14_v2.0-modem_20210307.zip/download

>>

So I flashed Modem, Fsg & dsp: (second zip) and re-flashed PE 11 plus. Again that did not worked. Now again I tried to flash stock Android 8.1 ROM. It worked but now it is not detecting SIM., showing IMEI as 0 or not available.

I have found multiple pages on similar issue but none is working. Looks like this issue is because of persist file and epf partition which I dont have (infact i dont have any backup).

So can someone please help me in installing stock Android 8.1 which should work fine (sim should be detected). Any help will be deeply appreciated.

Edit: Tried installing Validus and following steps mentioned on https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-workaround-no-network-imei-0-after-flashing-custom-rom.3745474/ but issue not resolved.

If it matters, mine is 4 GB/64 GB, XT 1804 variant.

On some threads, i found inconsistency in architecture (like 32 bit and 64 bit). What is that? I know i have 32 bit TWRP running on a 64 bit Windows 10 machine. I am not sure about stock ROM architecture. Can someone tell me how to check stock ROM architecture?

On another notes: I have tried flashing below stock roms but none of them are working fine (device boots but unable to recognize SIM):

[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] andromeda1410:
Further update:

Looks like I have created a backup using TWRP of original ROM (which was Android 8.1 but encrypted). Zipped it using Android app and then I transferred it to Windows laptop (later realized i should not have done it). Unzipped in android device and placed it in OTG. Restored using TWRP but it is not booting.

Can I do anything now? That is, should I preserve any file which I can later use with stock Android 8.1 ROM which can help me with getting sim signal/IMEI number back.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] okayk:
Encryption works flawlessly with Arrow 11 vanilla.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] andromeda1410:
Thanks everyone for helping me here.

Current situation:

Yes, I have a backup of stock ROM created using TWRP just after unlocking bootloader. The problem with this backup could be:

a. My phone was earlier encrypted.

b. As I was trying a lot of things and given I have 8 GB memory card, I took the backup on memory card, zipped it on memory card (using android app on phone) and then transferred to my PC. Later i transferred it back to memory card, unzipped using other Android phone and restored using TWRP.

As a result I am unable to boot my phone, It stucks at 'Your device may be unlocked ....' screen.

I have stock ROM for Android7 and Android8. I can flash any of them using fastboot. Phone boots ok but the only problem is, it is not detecting my sim card any more. IMEI number is also gone/disabled.

My phone has unlocked bootloader but is still not-rooted (and I would like to keep it this way).

Given i have spent last few days in trying various things, i have changed my expectations to below:

I no longer want any custom ROM.

I just want my phone to boot fine and every functionality like sim detection, IMEI etc to work fine (though i am fine with any android version but would prefer Android 8).

So basically I want to start fresh and have any fully-functional Android on my moto G5S plus Sanders XT1804 4 GB/64GB, dual SIM, Indian variant.

Regards.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] sBinnala:
Arrow isn't enforcing - it's permissive, which in itself is a huge security risk. Like I said, we don't have a ROM which supports both SELinux enforcing and encryption at the same time.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] sBinnala:
Normally in such cases, restoring EFS backup will do the trick. Have you already tried that?
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] andromeda1410:
After days of investigation, debugging and trying out everything which any post said, I have resolved my issue now. I now have a fully functional Android 8.1 installed on my phone, I am able to make calls, IMEI number is back.

In interest of wider public let me post what worked for me:

Note:

My device is Moto G5S Plus XT1804, 4 GB/64 GB, Retin Channel, India based phone. It is unrooted but has unlocked bootloader.

I have tried a lot many things, flashed many ROMs from different channels but none of them worked.

Below is what worked for me.

Probable issue: During flashing gpt.bin I was getting below error:

<<

writing 'partition'...

(bootloader) Validating 'gpt.default.xml'

(bootloader) Security version downgrade

(bootloader) Image primary_gpt failed validation

(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

(bootloader) Cancelling 'gpt.default.xml'

FAILED (remote failure)

finished. total time: 0.074s

>>

I guess this is the core issue. I searched on it and got many forums. Finally below solution worked for me:

Downloaded stock Android 8.1 rom 'stockrom.net_XT1804_SANDERS_RETIN_8.1.0_OPS28.65-36-14_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip' for my device from: https://www.stockrom.net/2020/04/xt1804-retin-oreo-ops28-65-36-14.html

Unzipped this file and placed it at 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot'.

Created my own batch file using instructions mentioned in 'stockrom.net_XT1804_SANDERS_RETIN_8.1.0_OPS28.65-36-14_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml/flashfile.xml'.

Imp note: Do not use fastboot commands mentioned on any forum. Every rom (custom/stock) has a flashfile.xml or servicefile.xml. Open this file and create your own batch file with steps in order mentioned in xml file.

Booted my phone in fastboot mode (volume down + power). Connected phone with PC using usb cable.

Launch 'Minimal ADB and Fastboot' on windows PC. Note: i am attaching all tools that i used to rest version related questions.

Run the batch file you created in step #3.

With these steps, I was able to get my phone up and running. Thanks a lot to all members for their help.

Regards.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] kruckow:
Hi,

Just wanted to let you guys know how I got the Smartthings app to work on my S20 FE (Also my older Samsung devices)

Some of the debloat guides/scripts remove either 1 or 2 packages required for Smartthings to work on Samsung devices.

The packages are:

com.samsung.android.easysetup

com.samsung.android.beaconmanager

Without these two I couldn't set up Smartthings and it would force close randomly.

You can install the packages with adb (as long as they still exist on the device):

adb shell

$ cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.easysetup

$ cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.beaconmanager

An alternative is to change build.props and change the ro.product.brand to Google or something other than Samsung. I have not tried this.

[OnePlus 8T Themes, Apps, and Mods] virajmalia:
Hello peeps,

I found a way to hide the navigation bar on OnePlus 8T. In theory it should work for other devices too.

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Root using Magisk

3. Install Riru-LSposed

4. Follow steps to activate LSposed.

5. From LSposed Manager, go to repository and download Gravity Box for Android R. Reboot.

6. Setup gesture navigation through custom app like FNG.

6. Open Gravity Box app and in navigation settings enable master switch and uncheck enable navigation bar option.

7. Reboot and enjoy!

Tested on DotOS and OnePlus 8T KB2005. If others can confirm this method with other roms, I can add a list in this post.

Cheers!

Yeah it works thanks.

There are modules available like gvisual and full-screen. Is this different?
[OnePlus 8T Themes, Apps, and Mods] virajmalia:
GVisual and others provide system gesture navigation in full screen mode (hiding the keyboard bottom bar).

Above method helps you hide 3 button navigation bar and use 3rd party navigation apps like FNG, which do not work on Android 11 by default. I read somewhere on Xda that on oneplus 8t it was not possible to do this even after root, so I just wanted to post this and let other people know.

I've been receiving too much conflicting information, and none specific to/compatible with H930DS.
