Got a new S901W S22 (Canada TELUS). I was trying to flash non-carrier generic OEM ROM via Odin v3.14.1_3B Patched. I made a mistake and flashed S901U1 XAA instead of S901W XAC. The XAA version has bootloader version 2, while XAC still has 1. Now I cannot flash the correct ROM because we cannot downgrade the bootloader. So I am stuck in Download mode:

View attachment 5615335

When I try t flash the correct XAC version it says:

Few questions:

Is there ANY way I can downgrade the bootloader and flash the XAC ROM now? Or do I need to wait for XAC with v2 bootloader to release, which is going to be a few weeks I assume, given that it was released in US on May 5, 2022 and few other countries on May 8.

In case I want to wait for XAC with v2 bootloader, how do I turn off the device? There's only a reboot option no shut down.

Can the phone be charged in Download mode? I started with 100% battery, but ofcourse now it does not show battery % and I am unable to shut down the phone - worried if I'll drain the battery

Summary:

Phone: S22 S901W TELUS

Flashed ROM (Attempt#1): Samfw.com_SM-S901U1_XAA_S901U1UEU2AVDC_fac

Flashed ROM (Attempt#2): Samfw.com_SM-S901W_XAC_S901WVLU1AVCJ_fac

UPDATE 1: Looks like the phone switched off on it's own after about 30mins of no activity when unplugged. Now waiting for XAC bootloader v2 ROM
[Samsung Galaxy S22] nguyenlucky:
Your only solution is to wait until S901W has bit 2 ROM. You cannot downgrade bootloader version.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] bikerabhinav:
Yeah, I believe that's my only option. what about battery though? does it charge in download mode? or any way I can turn it off?

UPDATE 1: Looks like the phone switched off on it's own after about 30mins of no activity when unplugged. Now waiting for XAC bootloader v2 ROM
[Samsung Galaxy S22] nguyenlucky:
Beware, as in some rare cases, Samsung does not increase the bit at all.

For example, my S20 Korean version (G981N) is still on bit 1 despite having 2 Android updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] bikerabhinav:
Damn, that's scary. I checked data for S20 and looks like US version (XAS) got bit 2 on Apr 29, 2021 and Canada (XAC) got it on Apr 30, 2021. That gives me hope but fingers crossed!

Not sure why they left Korea out but maybe because Exynos CPU has different releases?

Don't want to haggle with carrier and ask for replacement just yet. I'll wait for a week or two
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Dykes141:
I am at this point searching for some obvious plan.

[Samsung Galaxy S22] nguyenlucky:
S20 and Note 20 series in Korea have S865 though, and both are still on bit 1 with latest firmware

Not sure what Samsung is thinking 😂
[Samsung Galaxy S22] gav83collins:
happened to me earlier, just reflash the right firmware using odin, hold all 3 buttons until it boots to the "installation failed" screen and reflash

edit, mis read the post...... i on the s22 and my flash failed, stuck on download installation failed screen, no key combination would take me out of it, i just unplugged, replugged,, reset odin, and flashed again (s22u), and all was well
[Samsung Galaxy S22] MegaJuif:
How did you manage to unlock the bootloader ?? My s22 is from virgin in canada and i can't unlock it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] bikerabhinav:
I didn't unlock bootloader. You can flash official firmwares without unlocking bootloader, and yes, you cannot unlock/root any SnapDragon Samsung devices, most of which are sold in US/Canada. Exynos models can be unlocked/root
[Samsung Galaxy S22] MegaJuif:
i'm very upset i can't root my phone.. why only us can't unlock bootloader lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22] bikerabhinav:
[OFF TOPIC] I learnt that the hard way with my last phone (S10 US version) but I don't see much value in rooting anymore. Things were different 4-5 years ago, but now I am okay with a stock phone, just need a debloated non-carrier specific ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] bikerabhinav:
New firmware just released for XAC with v2 bootloader. Downloading via samloader. Hopefully this fixes the phone!

Alright, we're back in business! Phone is working now.

However, I still see carrier crap installed and all my files intact (Im okay with full wipe). Is it because I used HOME_CSC instead of CSC? Should I just flash again using CSC this time?

[Samsung Galaxy S22] gav83collins:
u would need to flash a non carrier (unlocked) csc but you would lose your settings, back up via smart switch to ext usb, google back up, and samsung back first
[Samsung Galaxy S22] bikerabhinav:
It's a new phone, there's nothing to backup. I'll flash XAC CSC tomorrow and see if that helps. Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S22] gav83collins:
if 5g is important to you, check to see if that csc supports the bands for your chosen carrier
[Samsung Galaxy S22] bikerabhinav:
How can I check that? This is the version that I'll be flashing S901WVLU2AVDC

Hi, flashed the correct firmware via odin and my phone S22 G901U won't boot to either normal, recovery or download mode. Tried force restarting endless and no change. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S22] subevilx:
go to samfw and from there download the latest android 13 rom S901WVLU2BVKI im using that and remember to flash csc not csc_home im using this rom on my s901u carrier locked by att 😭

after some setup tweaks

does anyone have installation instructions?
[Networking] MassiveAtom:
I recently had to fiddle with that file to prefer 2.4GHz Wifi networks because I was having trouble with th 5GHz network at work, the toggle to do so in settings was not there and no app worked. It made me consider making a magisk module plus an associated GUI interface to do wifi config edits (on this file).

But, I have limited knowledge about any of the options contained in the file, which ones would be worth adding to a GUI for quick access, and which ones no one would ever want to change and are thus not worth adding. So please tell me which config options you've changed, plus a short description of what that option does, and what the options you can set them to do.

Also, a question about one of the config options I do plan on adding to the interface, since it was one I changed.

# Phy Mode (auto, b, g, n, etc)
# Valid values are 0-9, with 0 = Auto, 4 = 11n, 9 = 11ac
# 1 = 11abg, 2 = 11b, 3 = 11g, 5 = 11g only, 6 = 11n only
# 7 = 11b only 8 = 11ac only.
gDot11Mode=0

What do the options do? What is the difference between 4-6, 2-7, 3-5, 8-9? Do the non-only options specify the lowest or the highest WIFI standard your phone will connect to?

Hi guys.

I installed twrp and aosp extended 6.7 on my P Smart 2018 (FIG-LA1) with haky 86’s guides.

Everything thing went smoothly but now i am bootlooping into twrp.

Any fixes?

* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

So first this first a little explanation. There aren't any device specific roms for the Moto G9 family, and im too lazy to learn how to.

HOWEVER, luckily for us, the G9 is a Project Treble compatible device! This means that it can flash and boot Generic System Images (GSI). These roms are device unspecific and can be booted on any android device which came with Android 10+. For more info click here. The long and short of it means we have a path to get to Android 12. I used the Pixel Experience ROM, but you can use any GSI Rom as long as you select one that uses the a/b partition scheme - Links to some other ones at the bottom

The only issue I have come across so far is NFC not working. If I get it working I will update this thread

[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zternocleidomastoid:
I am interested in the topic of the GSI, I have a concern.

Have you tried the GSI's that Google uploads on its developers page? Are they as functional as the GSI's published on GitHub?

It is that I am interested in these GSI, I have investigated and nobody talks about them except for Google itself.
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Biplob_Biswas:
Thank you very much. I already chose a GSI to flash. Let's see. Thank you.
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] YottaEngineer:
So the sim works in the gsi you provided?
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] sag72:
Is there any way to remove the encryption from it?

Already used several gsi, but every time there is an update I end up losing all my data and have to install everything again.

On my old device I made a backup using twrp but there is no way because when it restarts it encrypts everything.
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Blackklegend:
yes they're but as they come with no apps almost you'll find it quite lacking. Generic System Image (GSI) List · phhusson/treble_experimentations Wiki · GitHub here's a list of roms that you can try. i managed to get running the pixel experience one, with some bugs tho

Hola, me aventuré a instalar una ROM GSI de Google basada en Android 12. Funcionó bien, salvo llamadas telefónicas, no se escucha audio.

Has someone tried the Android 13 gsi in this device?
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] n9imed:
does anyone know what's the most stable ROM (Android 12) for moto g9 play?
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zternocleidomastoid:
So far I've tried 3 ROMs: Google (this one works fine except for calls, it will give problems with audio), AOSP (this one doesn't have Google services installed) and LineageOS (which I'm currently running and although it's wonderful...)

I have a problem with it, as the days go by the system begins to have excessive RAM consumption, so everything responds very slowly, but it is solved with a restart.
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] n9imed:
thanks. i'll try lineageOS. PE12 has a lot of visual issues.
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zternocleidomastoid:
What kind of visual problems does the system have? I chose LineageOS because it gives me more confidence than PE, and seeing that the ROM works fine, I didn't try PE.
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] n9imed:
just the clock arent centrate in status bar and lock screen.
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zternocleidomastoid:
Well, in LineageOS there are also some visual bugs, but they are small, they don't bother me.
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] barry_kada:
First of all, thank you @michaelmelita1 for sharing this update method.

I take the opportunity to describe my experiences trying to load the GSI on my G9 Play.

This method requires to unlock the bootloader, otherwise you will end with a nice soft brick.

You don't need (I didn't need it) to flash TWRP for running the GSI, since that's the official method shown on Android's technical sheets. If your device got to bootloop from any custom recovery, you can always revert to stock with LMSA (Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant)

The "OTHER GSI ROM, Generic System Image (GSI) List, Official Android 13, Google, Download" path got me to another Android datasheet; instead I got the Google's official GSI from here: the Android 13 GSI binaries and release notes page. There I choose the latest ARM64+GMS release (beware of choosing releases with older security patches, we don't like bricked phones)

Why did I installed the GMS version? I work on various projects and I need some or another Google app who ultimately relies on Google Play Services. That sucks but at least i've got this process simplified, as the other ways to get GApps working required root+custom recovery+modules.

Be specifically careful to get into fastbootd mode prior to flashing the GSI (Go to Install instructions, Flash ROM section of this thread). Fastbootd is the only way to load the ROM into the A/B partition.

Charge your phone

Google's Android 13 QPR1 Beta 3 GSI works flawlessly, 9.5/10, as the phone call still doesnt give any audio, even on loudspeaker.

I didn't stay on LineageOS GSI since it shows graphical issues, shadows rendered weird and each page of the OS moved fine but slow.
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] rusked:
where did you get lineage os for g9 play?
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zternocleidomastoid:
I got LineageOS from this link: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Generic-System-Image-(GSI)-list

You will find a list of GSI's along with their version information and the name of the image, which in your case would be LineageOS.

Hey! Is there any Android 13 AOSP patched image?
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zternocleidomastoid:
I couldn't recommend any, I haven't tried Android 13, personally, I'm waiting a while for the images to be more stable.
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] barry_kada:
There's this image released by Google with January 2023 security, it doesn't show on the Phhuson's list but here it is https://developer.android.com/about/versions/13/gsi-release-notes
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] rusked:
I can use any of those images on G9 Play without getting my phone bricked?
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] barry_kada:
Of course as you unlock the bootloader first. Read my first reply to the thread since you don't need to flash TWRP nor root it to getting it working.
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Zternocleidomastoid:
I was considering those images that Google releases periodically, because they are stable, but what makes me regress from installing it is the fact that the calls do not work. And since I use the phone in an ordinary way, they don't work for me.
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] rusked:
So would I be able to install Project Elixir on the G9 play? If so which one do I need to download?
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] barry_kada:
I don't really know, give it a try by unlocking the bootloader and flashing TWRP on it, then comment on this thread.

Keep in mind you are testing the ROM before posting any issue related. You know you could experience bugs and some hardware will not be recognized.

If you experience errors you could try chosing a GSI from this list, or revert to stock with LMSA
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] rusked:
i tried it and it says FAILED (remote: 'No such file or directory'), then I tried the ROM originally linked and it still said the same thing. I've done everything in the Flash ROM portion (and obviously unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP beforehand)
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] rusked:
Hello? I really need your help right now since I essentially cant use my phone.
[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] michaelmelita1:
As for android 13, pixel experience has been updated and all the lineage roms have been update. Check what cable you are using. Ive had issues with USB C to C cables as mentioned i the post, and that looks to be it. (Been a while since ive had this devices so not 100% sure). If your stuck, i would recommend flashing the original firmware and starting again, as if this process is not followed correctly it can mess up system files which are needed for proper booting.

[Moto G9 Play Guides, News, & Discussion] dellarosaluthier:
Hey what's up, good weekend start. I was not able to do some commands as the PowerShell said such commands didn't exist. I figured out making a batch .bat with that commands and it just works fine. When launched it spawns cmd.exe, which therefore I recommend for y'all having copypasted all necessary commands.

Just for Motorola devices booting into "fastbootd" mode, stock recovery is mandatory, I read that somewhere.

I also flashed the vbmeta that comes with the GSI I chose and bootloader gave me:

> (bootloader) WARNING: vbmeta anti rollback downgrade 4 vs 13

so make count to that measures.

The rom you posted booted just fine. It feels stable as for now on my G9 Power.

[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Auggybendoggy:
Hi everyone, my first post on XDA.

My wife and I both own a LG G8X thin q ATT branded phone - LM-G850UM1. Both phones were working on red pocket until my phone updated to Android 11. I don't know how that happened except I turned on developer mode on my phone and selected auto update. I think that may have caused that. I've since turned that off. But now my phone is on Android 11 and won't take or make callse.

My wifes phone, same model but using Android 10 works just fine still.

So far my only hope is to try to flash the phone back to android 10 but there's a catch. The KDZ file i found says it's for canada on the LG fan site.

LG G850UM(LMG850UM) aka LG G8X ThinQ - LG-Firmwares.com

LG LMG850UM download the firmware for free! Detailed installation instruction. Video review of the model and its features. User feedback and latest news.

www.lg-firmwares.com

My wifes phone shows G850UM20e as the version but on the LG fan site is shows this as canada? ATT is in the USA - leavine me confused.

Could I use the kdz file to flash to my phone? Not sure if it will brick it. Also are there drivers needed to install on the phone? I know there's a usb driver to connect the phone to a pc to flash it, but I thought I read someone saying you have to install the phone drivers to the phone.

Any advice, I'm all ear.

Make a backup copy of the firmware from her phone.If you're still using AT&T as your provider,flashing a different firmware won't fix the VoLTE issues.You need the AT&T firmware on the device for it to work.If you do make a copy of it I could use a copy as well for my G8x.
[Vivo X70 Pro+] frcraig:
Has anyone figured out how to force VoLTE on Origin OS Ocean when the phone isn't on the 'supported' list of your carrier? If it is supported then as soon as you pop in their SIM card the option to enable VoLTE appears, but otherwise it just isn't there. With 3g networks shutting down in North America this creates a real problem, because even though I have 5g enabled, and usually pick up a 4g or 5g signal where I live, without VoLTE enabled all calls connect on 3g.
[Vivo X70 Pro+] piskr:
It's a real bummer. But whatever is under the settings, VoLTE is not actually activated. And Vivo is to blame. That's obvious from the service menu.
[Vivo X70 Pro+] maxant69:
In Italy after 2/3 days Volte is automatically activated (operator Vodafone). Didn't touch any settings.
[Vivo X70 Pro+] maxant69:
I don't think it's a Vivo problem. Carriers should give you access. As said before after 2 days I have Volte and HD icon even if device is not ufficial supported. I didn't change or touch anything. If your carrier uses a restricted policy on 5G or Volte there is nothing you can do.
[Vivo X70 Pro+] piskr:
My experience with VoLTE is kinda weird, settings show me that I have both VoLTE and VoWiFi enabled. But none of them really work. It's true that obviously system recognize that, send me a notice that I could have VoLTE enabled and routes me to the message to my provider. And even more thrilled - I can toggle VoLTE in settings, get the HD voice sign in notification bar, but I don't have any VoLTE. The only direct consequence of the toggle is that I lose the caller's name in the phone, every caller becomes the unknown number. But my provider is not trustworthy, the other users have issues with VoLTE, I frankly don't know anyone who has it enabled. Thus, I tried my wife's sim and didn't get even option to enable VoLTE. My wife has a Chinese (Honor) phone and both VoLTE and VoWiFi work with this phone flawlessly. That's why I assume that the problem is on Vivo's side.
