[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Randy Power:
Hi there. First time trying Dot. Despite trying lots of different combinations of flashing, and trying to ensure I followed the instructions above exactly (with the exception that I do not want Gapps or Magisk), rebooting to System always reboots into Recovery instead.

For grins, I tried the latest unofficial lineage (lineage-18.1-20211112-UNOFFICIAL-payton), which installed and booted up just fine.

Suggestions appreciated.
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bojnice:
Same problem be my.
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Aaditya ZeO:
Which Verison of twrp you're using?
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Randy Power:
twrp-3.6.0_9-0-payton

I've also tried installing dot without installing twrp. When I do this, booting to system gives me the booting animation (3 colored circles that look like two planets circling the sun). But it gets stuck there. One time, I waited for several hours, enjoying the planets animation. 😋
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Aaditya ZeO:
There're quite few things which you need to remember.

2nd

If you were stuck on boot logo, you should perform fastboot - w in bootloader.

3rd - as per your comment u want vanilla edition. So i suggest u to stick with two 3.5xxx (latest prior to version 3.6xx) and follow the steps as stated below

a) completely wipe the phone

b) rom + twrp

c) reboot to recovery

d) wipe data in twrp

e) reboot to system.

This should work as I've also installed vanilla Verison with same process.
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Randy Power:
Thank you very much, @Aaditya ZeO. I will try again with those steps when I get back to my x4 today.

If i want to install the gapps version, should I use twrp 3.6 instead of 3.5?
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Kilogrm:
I don't think it matters, I've use twrp 3.2 and 3.6 to install gapps and had no issues in either case.
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Randy Power:
I appreciate the suggestions. I think I've tried everything, including installing twrp 3.5.xxx, but I still get the same result.

If I clean install dot and fastwipe -w , I still get the spinning planets.

If I clean install dot, install twrp 3.5 or 3.6, and fastwipe -w, a "reboot system" always brings up twrp again.

In case it matters, my device is payton XT1900-1 32GB P4.
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Aaditya ZeO:
Can you try to install gapps version for once?
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Randy Power:
I just did this:

fastboot boot twrp

completely wipe the phone

install rom 5.2.1 (dotOS-R-v5.2.1-payton-GAPPS-20211123-1226.zip)

install twrp (twrp-installer-3.5.2_9-0-payton.zip)

reboot to bootloader

fastboot boot twrp (in retrospect, I could have rebooted to twrp without fastboot)

wipe data in twrp

format data in twrp

reboot to bootloader; fastwipe -w

reboot to system.

Result: Spinning planets (boot animation). :(

I'll try again with the above, except step 5-6 reboot directly to twrp.

By the way, is this the expected result of "fastboot -w" on the x4?

>fastboot -w
Erasing 'userdata' OKAY [ 0.322s]
Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.
File system type raw not supported.
Erasing 'metadata' (bootloader) Permission denied
FAILED (remote: '')
fastboot: error: Command failed
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Randy Power:
After the above, I formatted data from twrp. It completed without errors, so I rebooted to system.

Result: Still stuck on spinning planets.
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Aaditya ZeO:
nope this shouldn't be the output after the fastboot -w.
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] Randy Power:
I appreciate that. I've tried many combinations of formatting data in TWRP, which seems to work. Resizing the partition and fsck on the partition work fine, all in TWRP. I can even copy files from /externalsd to /sdcard, and the fs survives a reboot.

However, fastboot -w always fails (error shown above), and booting the system gives spinning planets animation forever.

I'd be grateful for pointers on fixing the fastboot -w problem, if that is what's needed.

Hello

I installed dotOS 5.2.1 and when it's time to enter the PIN code it says that the sim card is locked. Tried both PIN and PUK, but none works. What should I do?
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] bowelripper:
OK, so I solved it by basically following these instructions:

However, I now have a new problem. If I power off the phone while the USB charger is connected, it restarts the phone instead. And if it's powered off and I connect the charger, it turns itself on. This didn't happen with Android 9. How can I fix it? I do not want my phone to switch itself on when charging.
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rodrigopitanga:
Are you flashing to the appropriate slot?
[Moto X4 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develop] rodrigopitanga:
For those having problems with the phone rebooting after a few seconds after upgrading from an Android 9 rom:

You might need to upgrade the modem firmware. That happened to me while upgrading from Lineage 16.0 to Lineage 18.1. After investigating a bit, I figured out the problem happened when connecting to the mobile network or (sometimes) wifi.

This is (roughly) how I solved the problem:

- flash your choice of recovery/system (not needed if already done - if you do this later your updated firmware might be overwritten)

- download the latest payton stock rom from lolinet's obsolete phones archive

- unzip and cd to unzipped folder

- connect phone and reboot to bootloader

- make sure you have fastboot and run the following commands (adapt to your OS as needed):

mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase userdata (I did it after backing up my data, but I think it was not necessary)
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot reboot

- have fun!

Notes:

- you might just flash a subset of the binaries above, I flashed what I thought was needed. The original reddit thread mentioned only NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.bin

- after having tried many things I ended up with dotOS 5.2.1 and will try it for a while ;)

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whiteday:
Hi together,

I have 5 rooted FTV 4k sticks and I used OnBootKodi for many months on all sticks, but since some weeks it has been uninstalled. I installed it again, but after a reboot it is uninstalled again.

So I assume Amazon uninstalls this application. So does somebody of you know which service I can disable to deactivate automated uninstalling?

Up to now I only disabled OTA services.

Thanks in advance.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sus_i:
Amazon blocks some apps from starting incl. the OnBootKodi app, take a look into:

/data/user/0/com.amazon.device.settings/databases/Settings.db

or try disabling:

adb shell
su
pm disable com.amazon.tv.nimh
exit
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whiteday:
I will try it and give response if it is working. Thank you

Edit:

pm disable com.amazon.tv.nimh <- is working.

Thank you so much (now I googled for this nimh and found a lot of topics ... so sorry for spamming, but I did not know what to search before I asked).
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] Deleted member 11913111:
Hey, title is very much self descriptive. After debloating and removing a lot of what i would think were not essentials for the phone, GPS STILL does work, but only on OsmAnd, and not on other aps that use the map, and even then it takes several minutes for me to find location on the map. I ASSUME that this is because i removed something that lets app interact with mobile towers to get location and instead it relies only on sattelites to know where i am however this is mere speculation. I'd like to know if anyone with a lot more knowledge than i have could point me at which apps this phone would use stock with GPS or location services so that i could reinstall them and see what exactly did i break.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] Deleted member 11913111:
Consider this a bump, but in more specific terms. Could anyone help me identify or show me a list of potential GPS-related functionality APKs that would make other map apps not work properly?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] TimmyP:
Come on dude. Re-flashing is clearly your only option.

You would be better asking in other more popular Samsung Galaxy forums for general advice.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] Deleted member 11913111:
This is usually where most of the advice regarding modifying the OS and debloating came from so i suspected it was the best place to ask.

Then set the 3 menus on the right to say All, Disabled/Uninstalled(Try Disabled and if it doesn't show anything try Uninstalled), and All Lists.

Interesting, so that way i can keep track of which apk i removed?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] Deleted member 11913111:
Well, i just installed a maps app in the phone after having a reset from factory and.... Its working exactly like it used to? It still wont get GPS signal. Now im wondering what's going on.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] CloudRealm:
Yep
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] CloudRealm:
Strange... maybe update the os?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] TimmyP:
You need to reflash everything with Odin *mod and start again. Sorry I cant help you as I needed it myself when I did the same with camera as I was debloating, and Im not sure how to do it.

I am, however, sure this is what you need to do. It is more than a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] Deleted member 11913111:
Well... I did a factory reset again and this time the second that i connected the phone to the internet i downloaded a maps apk that i was using and... Yeah, it cant locate the phone, so either using only GPS no wifi the phone is hardly able to locate itself, or the phone is doing something weird about the GPS that my previous phone didn't, or the only time i accidentally dropped my phone from like 1 feet into the ground i broke something which is real unlikely, or the GPS receiver of this phone is THAT bad and my house is THAT good at blocking GPS signal.

What a weird conondrum.

I mean, crap, even google maps doesn't know where i am. Is this because i refused google's location services?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] Deleted member 11913111:
Dont worry dude, i already did a factory reset. My problem persists with the factory reset is the current topic of trouble to me.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] TimmyP:
FACTORY RESET WILL NOT FIX. REFLASHING ROM WILL NOT FIX.

I screwed my Camera up the same way, with just removing apks. You need to reflash the slots in odin and run multi-disabler and all that again.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] Deleted member 11913111:
Is it really "again" if i never did it to begin with?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] TimmyP:
Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] Deleted member 11913111:
Im a bit lost, how does this all work, what do you say i broke, and why do i need to use odin that factory reset wont fix?
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] TimmyP:
idk why did I need odin when my camera stopped from doing the same thing? I flashed a new rom and went through initial setup, also did a factory reset, it still didnt work! Its a guess obviously since its not the exact same problem, but id say something similar is happening to your gps hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] Deleted member 11913111:
Well, my issue so far seems to be quite similar to this one:

[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] flash713:
If I were you (op) I would reflash stock, copy everything to PC (all apps/apks) and slowly remove a few at a time and test gps as I go along. I know that would take some time but eventually you would find which ones have to do with gps. You could also make a list of all the names of the apks and throw them in your "search" on a browser and see what all you can find out about them that way..

The most detailed explanation I have ever seen of descriptions of apps is definitely xXx No Limit magisk rom for OnePlus 6,7,8 devices. The dev has a user configuration file where you choose whether you want to keep, delete, replace each apk in the entire device and he has an explanation for every single app that tells what it's used for and if it's safe to delete or not. I would search all I could, and maybe do the copy/delete apk first and see what all you can find then maybe shoot No Limit rom dev a msg asking him. IDK him personally except from here using his rom when I had a OnePlus 6t but I bet he would respond. Most people will help you out "if" they can see whoever is asking for the help has already done some work in to whatever it is themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 5G] :
Thanks a lot for the help flash, but i think i got it. i enabled google location services and it worked, i disabled it and it works perfectly in the open but in my apartment it wont, so i guess its just natural interference.

[Realme GT] Rydian_:
I have to admit, I'm pretty confused and a bit tired... nothing is working for me as in other phones and I can't seem to find any reliable info how to tackle my problems :/

I have the RMX2202 model in the 8/128 GB version.

My end goal is to have Android 12 and from what I read, I need the latest Android 11 update first for that. Only, the system shows me that the version I have (RMX2202_11_A.13) is already the latest, and from what I look on the internet, A.16 is already available.

I even downloaded a zip with both the OS version A.16 and the Android 12 beta, but when I try to install either of them, it shows me "Verification failed. Package incompatible with your system."

I also tried booting the phone in safe mode, because I saw that people on YT had an option to install from a file there.... but I don't have it. I can only do Wipe, or Reboot.

Please help :c

PS.: This phone is from a major chain store in Poland, so I'm assuming it is the Global version.

Welcome to XDA🤗

Consider yourself lucky.

Android 11 and 12 are a mess.

Android 10 is still relatively functional and usable.

Rule #1 - If your device firmware is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission, let it be.
[Realme GT] Rydian_:
Thank you for the welcoming msg :)

But just one thing, I said that I have RMX2202_11_A.13 on my phone right now, so I'm already on the Android 11, but just not on the latest update of it.

And I understand your point, but I'd still want to try Android 12, and even root this phone in the future.

I appreciate your warnings, but these are my needs right now and I'd very much like to know how and if I can do it at all on this phone :P

Hi, all.

I found my old P9 lite, which i want to mod just for the heck of it. Sadly the EMUI version of it is stuck on 4.1.3 with no way to upgrade it. I recall there being a website that hosts the stock roms but it's down (it's under the cloud.huawei domain iirc)

Does anybody in the forums have a copy of the stock firmware with perhaps an update?

Build num: VNS-L21C900B157
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
Your FW is incomplete or incompatible, C128 is regional variant of Telenor HU.

Try to install this {Mod edit}. Instructions can be found in ReleaseDoc folder.

Then, unlock the bootloader and rebrand your phone to C432 eu version. With C432 you have a real chance to upgrade to Nougat.
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Logan_Mac:

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Logan_Mac:
Okay so the C432 firmware is apparently incompatible with my phone, how do i rebrand my phone?
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] -Alf-:
First of all, you must have the correct build number (i.e. the correct FW in the phone). With the C900 region you won't get the bootloader unlock code using DC-Unlocker (maybe with the PotatoNV method, I don't know).
[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Logan_Mac:
Done. Bootloader has been unlocked, I have written down the code from back when they provided them
