[Moto G5 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] 1poweruser1:
llineage is stuck at initial boot logo on my phone

tried both twrp 3.5.2_9-0 and latest lineage recovery

I flashed latest CEDRIC_RETAIL_8.1.0_OPP28.85-19-4-2_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml via fastboot

I let the phone boot until language selection appears

flashed latest recovery

wiped system, then factory reset

rebooted to recovery

this phone default firmware (LSMA said its this one) is actually different from the retail one

CEDRIC_TIMIT_OPPS28.85_13_6_cid50_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml

also tried with that firmware, but i get the error message saying that i need to upgrade to the latest rom
