Thank you brother for the response. I really hope the devs become more active. It is so great to have TWRP and custom roms to flash. Cheers
[Moto G Stylus 5G] RodimusConvoy:
Seems like everyone has the non-5g version. Which is good till April 2022 at least.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Daveed1013:
Why is it only good till April 2022?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] RodimusConvoy:
Their (talking Metro by T-Mobile) 3G shutdown was scheduled for October 1st of this year, but they moved it to April 2022. 3G shutdown = phones not capable of 5G will no longer work on that network. So its kinda puzzling why the non-5G version of the Moto G Stylus is getting such development and the actual 5G version...isn't. Also weird that Metro is selling a non-5G version at all given the looming 3G sunset but...here we are.

But, at least they have till April. I have till February (I'm with Cricket(AT&T)). Verizon is holding out the longest with January 2023 for their 3G sunset.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Daveed1013:
So it is a good thing I upgraded to 5G. Thanks for the info.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] ITGrouch:
The 3G network is being phased out, not 4G. The 4G service will be around for a long time for all of the carriers. My wife just purchased a iPhone 11 phone and it is 4G. Low income people have the subsidised free mobile service and cheap 4G phones. The 5G coverage is still in its infancy. The non-5G version will work just fine on T-Mobile's network with 4G, as will any 4G GSM phone that is supported on T-Mobile's network. Same goes with all the other carriers. Your 4G phone will continue to work on AT&T's network. You need to do your research first before posting incorrect information.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] RodimusConvoy:
I didn't say 4G was going away. I said 3G. And you of course you know the carriers won't allow 4G/LTE only, right? you'll need two, 3G/4G together, and when the sunset happens, 4G/5G together. More on that below:

I'd ask the same of you, sir/ma'am. 4G is not enough, or else Cricket wouldn't be sending out texts saying to buy a 5G phone (from them, of course) by February or lose your service. You...DO know they're doing that, right? Surely one accusing one of not doing research has done research themselves on the matter? Let me help you: the xda board for the phone I currently have, the Note 10 Lite, talked about that.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] ITGrouch:
All I will say is if you want to believe that a customer has to buy a 5G phone to continue service with Cricket, go right ahead.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] RodimusConvoy:
Oh right I forgot the best part: once a month any outgoing call I make? Will be re-directed to customer support with a recording saying my device won't work February 2022 and to upgrade now.

Now, if Metro/T-Mobile is going a different route, as in not being a horse's behind about this, great. It was still a good idea that folks got this phone versus the non-5G version. Anyone saying "herp derp 3G is sunseting not 4G!" well Google is free is all I can say. Might wanna look it, heck walk into a Metro/T-Mobile store (if one doesn't feel comfortable with customer support) and ask them.

Anyway, I'm waiting for a working TWRP before I finally pull the trigger and switch. But I'm glad people with this phone has root. Its a great start.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] markbnj:
OK... Here's a brief rundown.

ALL the carriers (ATT/Verizon/Tmobile)

are retiring their 3g networks next year.

I believe ATT's is at the end of February 2022.

Started this thread because I was affected.

AT&T marked my redmi note 9 plus as a 3G phone, instead of as a 4g phone.

and I moved to a 4g ONLY location, and lost all service.

Thus, I moved to a moto G5 stylus 5g (what a mouthful!)

Now I again need to re-root, to remove the tether provisioning app.

I forgot that when I had a moto G3 I swore to never buy another moto phone for that reason!

sigh

update notes:

just got bootloader unlocked

about to root to install magisk.

and then disable that darn hot-spot check!

and insert ad repellent!

cheers

Another update : july 2022

gave up, and bought the hot-spot feature from AT&T.

still haven't rooted it yet.

And btw,

there are TWO different MOTo 5G stylus (2021) versions. the one Motorola sells via amazon (6GB ram, 256GB Storage) and the one AT&T sells, which is 6GB Ram and 128GB storage)

The one from Motorola does NOT run wifi calling, the less robust one from AT&T does.. I spent about 5 months arguing for them to upgrade me.

I wound up having them send me a "micro/Piko" Cell tower, [hardwired iinto my [IOT network] which brought me from one bar of service to 5 bars of service in my apartment

and will also support 5 other AT&T users

AT&T wound up getting a new 'tower' via my apartment, and I dont care. have the phoone, and happy.

Now for a new ROM!

Hey guys i was wondering, if is there a custom recovery for the moto g stylus 5g Denver variant?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] dammi.forza0910:
I have figured some thing out.

IE: How to replace bootanimation, edit prop, etc. If anyone reads this and wants info, just reply
[Moto G Stylus 5G] dammi.forza0910:
I unerstand what you were saying. I tend to be paranoid... Pun intended. I'm still working with the new "scoped storage" but where there is a will...
[Moto G Stylus 5G] rawhide85:
Fingers crossed on your success. I would think by now there would have been an official TWRP release. Cheers
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Raul7821:
How to do it? I do wanna try it
[Moto G Stylus 5G] KlutchApex:
I'm currently messing with TWRP using the good old kitchen method. I'll let you know what happens, but don't get your hopes up, I brick every phone and will end up waiting for someone else's input. If I do get it done I'll post it to GitHub, no promises. but we'll see.

[Moto G Stylus 5G] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
Ok first moto phone i bought were the OEM toggle won't activate...Do i have to really wait 3 days??? Anyone please chime in..

Edit..

Was able to get unlock code from Motorola emailed to me so I really have to wait for the oem to become available...Moto trying to be Samsung...I left Samsung because of no oem bootloader in the US. Motorola don't change on me!!!!!
[Moto G Stylus 5G] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
How did you get your MetroPCS oem button in developer options to be toggled???

Mines is still greyed out...

I for some reason can flash the stock tmo firmware via fastboot but since my bootloader is locked I can flash the Retus firmware but it won't boot past Motorola screen.

I'm trying to flash Retus like I always do on my moto phones so I can toggle the oem button..

Any thoughts or help please... Thanks.

One last thing.. Was your MetroPCS software on an earlier build?. I used the last firmware from lolinet but there were no earlier versions...
[Moto G Stylus 5G] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
Finally !!!!

Update to unlock bootloader for The Metro by T-Mobile variant

After much research thanks to the n200 thread this enabled my oem option to be toggled..

adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.qualcomm.qti.uim

now it read back an error (0) number ...(dont worry)

so i then changed the date and time to 25 days out.

Remove sims and sd card out of the phone

Then did a factory reset.

Dont connect to wifi yet,

Uncheck every option upon set up..

Then open development options still grayed out,

Now disable development options,

connect to wifi,

Reopen development options.

Bam !!!OEM unlock now able to toggle..

Also!!!

R/W superpack scripts work...

Dolby, viper all work...

After I deleted system apps I have over 1 gb of space...this ROM was actually light before the carrier bloat...

I still can't flash retus firmware on my metro variant...anyone have success???
[Moto G Stylus 5G] :
@jhjhjhjhjhjh

Do you not still need a number from Motorola to unlock the bootloader? Does the T-Mobile variant work when you input the oem get_unlock_data on the website?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
Yes of course...you need an email code from Motorola emailed to u to run the command ..fastboot OEM unlock _your emailed code_..
[Moto G Stylus 5G] :
Yeah, the Cricket variant gets refused by Motorola's website, so looks like I'm sorta stuck. Got it super cheap though so no real complaints.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
Sorry to hear you have the cricket att variant.

I never I repeat NEVER buy Verizon, ATT , or any subsidiaries of them due to in the usa they LOCK BOOTLOADERS ....

I use Metro TMobile or I buy from Best Buy to purchase all my phones ,noticed only Motorola, One Plus and Pixel devices not on Verizon or ATT, have unlock bootloader processes for us android enthusiasts.

PS. I have a cricket sim card..

I activated it online for 30 dollars..cheapest cricket plan,

Then went to metro corporate store and ported the number to my metro account and got this phone on metro for 19.99

If cricket would play ball on bootloader access I would switch but MetroPCS keeps me bootloader unlocked and rooted....lol

[Moto G Stylus 5G] :
Yup. I was able to turn on "OEM Unlocking" after it was connected to the internet for a few days, but you still can't unlock the bootloader. If you follow the Motorola website directions it says unlocking isn't available for this device.

Hey,

How did you get R/W superpack scripts to work? I tried many times but nothing. What script and settings did you use?

Motorola G Stylus 5G Denver variant
[Moto G Stylus 5G] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
I used this one..

%%Important ,,,Magjsk and Busybox must be installed or you will boot-loop....%%

Remove the .pdf rename to superpack

Move file to data/local/tmp

There are usb adb commands to run the script

"Not my script just sharing."

Ok located the commands....

Enjoy.

5. Move “superrepack” file on your phone to /data/local/tmp folder. If you have root and using a root explorer you can’t miss it (obviously without quotations).

6. Connect your phone to your PC via the charging cable.adb shell

8. Type: “su” and press enter. This will change C:/TheNameOfYourDirectory to denver/ $

9. Type: “su” and press enter. This will change the dollar sign “$” to a sharp symbol “#” and will look like denver/ # Make sure you allow permissions if Magisk asks for it or it will give you a permission denied message.

10. Type: “ls -Alg /dev/block/by-name | grep "super"” and press enter since you need to know where your block device is. It should return a result that looks like “lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 16 1970-01-01 08:07 super -> /dev/block/NameOfYourBlock” (obviously without quotations except the quotations in "super" - keep those)

11. Copy and paste somewhere “/dev/block/NameOfYourBlock” (obviously without quotations). You’re going to need that later.

12. Open Command prompt

13. Type: “adb shell” (obviously without quotations) and press enter. This will change C:/TheNameOfYourDirectory to denvev:/ $

14. Type: “su” (obviously without quotations) and press enter. This will change the dollar sign “$” to a sharp symbol “#” and will look like denver:/ #

15. Type: “chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/superrepack” (obviously without quotations) and press enter as the chmod command will give us root permissions to run the script. This is VERY IMPORTANT. Don’t worry if it goes to a blank next line that’s normal.

16. Type: “setenforce 0” (obviously without quotations) and press enter as we need to disable selinux. Again, don’t worry if it goes to a blank next line as that’s normal.

17. Type: “/data/local/tmp/superrepack /Name/of/your/block” (obviously without quotations) and press enter. Let the script run to the end.

18. Reboot your phone.

19. When your phone is rebooted go to Root Explorer (or your explorer).

You're wrong

Phones support VoLTE are guaranteed to work after UMTS (3G) decommissioned.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] electrofryed:
I have the retail unlocked version (bought from the moto website). Was able to unlock the BL after 3 days. I know there is a trick with monkeying with the phone time with Samsung devices. It would probably work the same with the moto's
[Moto G Stylus 5G] RodimusConvoy:
Tell Cricket that so they'll stop sending me texts mentioning the 3G sunset (the verbiage doesn't mention VoLTE/UMTS at all). The most recent one promised me an iPhone and they'd waive the $25 fee.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] disneytoy:
OP, I have the Stylus 5G from TMO. My main need is to use it for a Hotspot. As stock, I can't use Hotspot. I just get connected, no internet. Before I go to a custom ROM, have you had any luck getting Hotspot to connect with internet?

I haven't done any of this since my Galaxy Note 5. :-)

I'm considering Lineage ROM. Any thoughts.

Thanks

There's no roms for the Stylus 5G
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Cbayer86:
What symbol is that can u make all this a little more user friendly or newbie friendly like what do I put for "name of your block " is that like the model of my phone got alot of uncertainty here sorry in advance
[Moto G Stylus 5G] jhjhjhjhjhjh:
When you run this command in adb shell

Ls -ALg /dev/block/by-name | grep "super"

you will see what your dev/block/number is

copy and paste it so you will always have it.

Flashing from rom to rom or stock that dev/block/number will always be the same..

Example my dev block is /dev/block/sde##…. your dev block number may be different.

So when you run the last command to run the script your telling the script what your dev/block/number is...

Hope this helps good luck..

Okay these are my commands like in the guide posted above

Connect phone to cpu USB debugging on

Move superrepack file in your phones directory to

data/local/tmp

Type

1. adb shell

2. su

3.chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/superrepack

4.setenforce 0

5. /data/local/tmp/superrepack /dev/block/sde##(your dev number)

Reboot after script runs for 10 seconds or less.

Profit

I need some help unlocking my bootloader .I get the five-string code in fast mode. when I go to Motorola's website enter it in the website says device is not on the list of compatible devices for unlock program or something like that. I've unlocked another g stylus 5G that was a boost phone and it worked just fine if.i get a brand new phone and it won't allow me to unlock this one. Any ideas ?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] LinuxAndroid4evr:
Nvmd figures it out
[Moto G Stylus 5G] SkyRocker_58:
Mind telling us what you did?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] LinuxAndroid4evr:
Of course, initially when I got the phone I went into developer options toggled OEM unlocking, forgot to turn off automatic updates. I had received an update that I didn't even know about till after it happened and OEM unlocking was turned off and greyed out. Now I was stumped until I realized I read on a different forum I think it was for a Samsung s device. Where you could toggle the the automatic time off set a few days out or month out or something and reboot the phone and it won't be greyed out no more. Needless to say that didn't work. So I did what any sane android enthusiast would do....... And wrecked the software! Haha !!!! Eventually I wound up with it saying that it did not have an operating system. So from here I cross flashed the AMXLA firmware to the phone (i'm not sure if it would actually have worked or not but that was not my goal). I then grabbed the T-Mobile / Metro PCS firmware unzipped it took the service file XML out opened it up with notepad plus plus created my own flashall script (with the help of YouTube and some trial and error trying to get it to work right). The phone came back to life, I went into developer options and OEM unlocking was not greyed out no more I toggled it on and made sure to turn off automatic updates. I then went to the DSU loader loaded a GSI into the other slot. Went back to the website after getting new unlock data and it worked this time. Got email and unlocked bootloader rebooted and profited!
[Moto G Stylus 5G] :
What variant phone did you have originally? I have a Verizon variant and cannot unlock bootloader. Do you think if I flash a different firmware it will allow me to unlock bootloader?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] LinuxAndroid4evr:
Metro PC's variant and no you'll more than likely brick your phone trying to do that Verizon locks their phones up tight
[Moto G Stylus 5G] dammi.forza0910:
Yeah for sure, I started by waiting 48 hours for the network to allow me to toggle "oem unlocking" in the dev settings. Then I downloaded the moto software recovery app for windows, placed my phone into fastboot mode, used the windows app to extract the boot.img, then transfered it to my phone, patched with magisk, unlocked the bootloader with moto unlock website, flashed patched image. Done
[Moto G Stylus 5G] bouyakasha:
So in this flashall script you created, you didn't flash the bootloader, right? Because you've yet to unlock it so it wouldn't work?

What files did you flash?

Very interested to learn more.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] OCBiggiE:
I noticed there are 2 variants for the tmobile moto gbo stylus 5g xt 2131-1... I have the RRESQ31.47-2-2-2 version and I am looking for the correct "BOOT.IMG" file by itself. I noticed there was also the RREQ31.47-2-2-2 which is incorrect according to my build version. I am having a hard time with the download time that it takes to download the completer ROM file (bad internet speed). Is there somewhere that you can grab just the BOOT.IMG file fromo the ROM without having to download the whole file???

OR...

By luck, might someone have the correct BOOT.IMG file they could kindly send over?
