[Moto G Stylus 5G] classic757:
Okay guys so I bought an unlocked Moto G Stylus 5G 2022 a few weeks ago and I decided to unlock it via the instructions on Motorola's website and root it , which I did.

So after having done that, I decided to unroot it, mainly because of losing Widevine level 1 security , but also for other reasons.

After having done that I tried to flash the stock rom via adb fastboot, but it wouldn't do that (error: command failed).

Also tried using the Motorola LMSA repair tool, but no go either, Both ADB Fastboot and the LMSA recognzed my phone but neither would flash the stock rom.

Here are some pictures that may help.

Thanks guys.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] maddog3030:
First statement in circle doesn't make any sense.

Second statement tells me you've re-locked your bootloader...

Third issue I'm going to take a wild guess at when you unrooted did you restore the original boot image?

I'm going to assume you use magisk in which case it makes a backup fee of the original boot image.

And that might be why your phone is not being recognized.

Last is don't ever post your IMEI online, delete that first image if you can.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] classic757:
Thanks for responding to my question.

Okay so in the first statement I meant to say that I bought an unlocked G Stylus 5G 2022 and decided to unlock the bootloader.

Yes, I did re-lock the bootloader.

Yes when I unrooted I did restore the original boot image from the official stock rom.

Adb fastboot recognizes my device as well as the LMSA but neither will flash the stock rom. I even tried to set the active slot to a and b, to no avail.

Oh and I did delete the pics.

Thanks.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] maddog3030:
get into bootloader and issue these 2 commands

fastboot getvar all

fastboot oem partition

sanitize both outputs of personal info, IMEI ect. and post them here in full

PS the command is

fastboot set_active a

or

fastboot set_active b

not

fastboot fastboot set_active a
[Moto G Stylus 5G] classic757:
Okay thanks will do.

Try using Windows Snipping tool next time, for your screenshots, much cleaner
[Moto G Stylus 5G] maddog3030:
Got them, give me a few.

Preliminary it doesn't look good hope you're not attached to any of the information in the phone
[Moto G Stylus 5G] maddog3030:
Download File, Open and READ ALL First.

If all fails the BLANKFLASH, links included
[Moto G Stylus 5G] classic757:
Okay thank you.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] classic757:
Okay great thanks! 👍

I really appreciate your help.

I will let you know how it goes.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] classic757:
Okay will do thanks. 👍
[Moto G Stylus 5G] classic757:
Okay so while in fastboot I could get nothing flashed because I would get a "command failed" error every time.

Tried to do the blankflash file but it stayed stuck on "waiting for device".

Idk what else to do.

There is someone on xda that posted they had a similar issue with their phone and they had someone fix it remotely. I think they are talking about a guy who did a YouTube video showing how he fixed someone's hard bricked device. I contacted that individual on WhatsApp and they said I need to fix the bootloader. I asked them what do I need to do and they didn't respond back. Idk.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] maddog3030:
sorry but mabey i did not go into "BLANKFLASH" enough, thought you might not need it, but

EDL test points and blank-flash boost mobile

Here are the edl (emergency download mode) test points for Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G XT2131.

xdaforums.com

this is an example of what needs to be done (this is not for your model).

you need to search for the EDL test point for your model .

DID YOU GET A Serial Number in response to the command "fastboot devices"?

https://t.me/motoblankflash ask for ZAZ
[Moto G Stylus 5G] classic757:
Yes I get a serial number and imei number.

I can do the fastboot command getvar all but I cannot flash any part of stock firmware. I cannot set the active slot to a or b.

Fastboot recognizes my device and so does the LMSA tool but neither one will flash firmware.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] maddog3030:
ok,

problem is 2 fold

3 states on this phone are

securestate: oem_locked

securestate: flashing_unlocked

securestate: flashing_locked

you are the last one, that flips the "OEM unlocking" to turm off.

and you system is corrupt (not booting ).

blankflash basically reformat the phone and returns "securestate: flashing_unlocked"

your current OS is MILANF_RETUS_12_S1SDS32.56-81-4

the newest blankflash out for your phone is milanf_retus_S1SD32.56-6

this is considered a downgrade and the phone wont allow it.

still hope!!

a blankflash cam be made from the image of XT2215-4_MILANF_RETUS_12_S1SDS32.56-81-4

but i dont have the rig to do it but "ZAZ" @ https://t.me/motoblankflash can.

last i checke he can generate one in 20-30 min and DID NOT charge for his help.

I hope this explained you problem, good luck.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] classic757:
Okay thanks. I'll try to contact him.

I appreciate all your help.

I had the exact thing happen to me. Was this ever fixed? I need help as well.
[macOS] #mcl:
Hello all!

So I've been using Mac for the last years and really enjoying it, but now wanted to use Linux (more specifically Fedora) as my main OS, rather than MacOS.

The machine for doing so it's a late 2013 15" MacbookPro with NVIDIA graphics.

For getting everything setup it took a while as a lot of drivers are proprietary, but manage to get most things working (expect for sleep, that for an unknown reason is broken and the Mac takes more than 5 min to wake from sleep, and FaceTime camera not working).

The problem however is that the machine is using the NVIDIA GPU, which causes it to get very toasty and drain battery faster.

I would like to enable the iGPU, but keep the NVIDIA GPU available as sometimes I connect an external monitor using the HDMI port.

I am newbie to Linux and have little knowledge but want to try everything possible to make Fedora work as best as possible on my computer. The procedures I tried were:

-Install rEFIND and try to use an set_apple.efi thing but probably did it wrong and did not work,

-Try to modify NVRAM variables to make the mac use the iGPU by default, but when booting to Fedora still only show up the NVIDIA GPU

Any help is welcome, bur please don't say for me to stay on MacOS or that is impossible as I read from people who manage to succored.

Thanks in advance!

Is there an app that will clear all unused data for an app after removing the app? I have tried several apps that didn't work out and I 'Uninstalled' them but not sure if all the remnants are removed also.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] blackhawk:
SD Maid Pro, works well at least for Android 9 and 10. Not sure about higher.

The remnants usually amount to kbs at least before scoped storage. Scoped storage screwed up a lot of things, needlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] JimReid:
Blackhawk, thanks it works with Android 13. Don't know how well except it did get rid of a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] blackhawk:
You're welcome

It got app remnants nothing else would touch on my stock N10+. Been using the pro version for almost 3 years. No unwanted deletions. Clear the system cache once a month or so too.

I also use the old version of Device Care with 360 degrees (I firewall block it) to clean logs.

That's all I do for maintenance. My current load is over 2.5yo, still fast and stable. That's what Android is capable of if you don't screw it up with upgrades and updates. Security simply isn't an issue for me in it's current configuration and usage.
[Magisk] Adrrrrien:
Summary: I didn't know that magisk don't allow any app with superuser access to access some parts of the system.

View attachment 5783403

(For example here is the error given by Root Essentials)

(I also had problems trying to install BusyBox)

Because I used to root old devices, with SuperSU or something else (And I didn't have any problems). And by coincidence all the attempts to access the superuser that I had made were trying to access some protected part of the system. This made me want to learn more about Android and here some workarounds for this:

For BusyBox error I just changed the install location and it works fine, to change apps install location (Move user app to system) you can use systemizer module on magisk (Using Lucky Patcher module bricked my phone 🥶)
[Magisk] 73sydney:
Neither screenshot of install looks abnormal...second one is 100% correct, you'd already patched the boot image when you installed it via TWRP.....

ROM? Stock or other?

Can you install a terminal app and try:

su

do you get a prompt or error?

this would also have been better posted in this thread, more (and more experienced) eyes would see it:

https://xdaforums.com/t/discussion-magisk-the-age-of-zygisk.4393877/

also for now ignore the detection stuff.....theres modules and settings to work around that
[Magisk] Adrrrrien:
I'm using the stock ROM (Android 11)

When I try "su" on terminal magisk prompts a popup to allow it to use superuser rights

View attachment 5784237
[Magisk] Adrrrrien:
Just to confirm that I've done everything right on Magisk install.

1 - Unlock phone bootloader ✔️

View attachment 5784239

2 - Install TWRP ✔️

3 - Download Magisk APK from GitHub ✔️

4 - Change .APK extension to .ZIP and put it into a SD card ✔️

5 - Open TWRP, go to install, select zip and flash ✔️

6 - Wipe dalvik cache before reboot ✔️

7 - Open Magisk installer and let it install Magisk manager ✔️

apparently i managed to uninstall appbox with luckypatcher, That's weird because when I try to move an app to system it shows this error

View attachment 5784291
[Magisk] 73sydney:
congrats you have a correctly rooted device, thats what should happen, it confirms what i saw in the install pictures, you have a correctly working magisk install. if youre lookign to do soemthign specific once rooted and youre haivong issues, thats an entirely different thing. The basics are working.

also you wont be able to directly write to system because thats not normal either on a system as root device/ROM, to do anything on /system, you need to use magisk modules...thats in part why magisk exists...

you dont have any problems i can see here

now if you plan to use banking or other root senstive apps, you will probably want to:

- toggle Zygisk on in Magisk Manager

- rename the magisk manager app (to *partially* hide it)

- install displaxs USNF fix from here via magisk manager: https://github.com/Displax/safetynet-fix/releases

- put the device in airplane mode

- clear data for Google Play Services and Google Play Store

- reboot

- take device off airplane mode

this will/should get you passing the Integrity Check, and from there on its what you need to use while rooted that would determine what if anything you need to install and use to hide root better, and what module you might want to use to do other things that rely on modifying system

Gentle second (and hopefully last) reminder, this is best handled by NOT creating your own thread, but by posting in this thread where fa rmore people will see it and be able to help, and where all this info is already available, meaning i neednt have typed this because its already repeated there every few days....which is way more than is needed already

https://xdaforums.com/t/discussion-magisk-the-age-of-zygisk.4393877/

Be aware that by creating you own topic instead of reading existing ones, you are creating unnecessary work for people like me....but since youre new here im giving you a pass....very few get one :)
[Magisk] Adrrrrien:
Thanks, you are right, any app that does not require to change /system works fine, I just don't realized because my principal goal from installing Magisk was delete system apps or something related. and sorry for the duplicate topic, I'm kinda newbie here ☺️
[Magisk] 73sydney:
thats okay, i knew you were new, if you were hoping/trying to debloat/remove system/vendor apps, then i would recommend @zgfg 's debloater module here, its replaces the app you want to debloat/remove with a dummy app, its what i use - there is another, older module, but its not maintained... and has issues. This will achieve what you were hoping/trying to do directly on /system

https://xdaforums.com/t/magisk-module-systemless-debloater-replace.4180083/

the beauty of magisk modules is that they are (largely, if written properly) reversible, so disabling/uninstalling reverts the changes.

Any fellow canucks with the rogers branded HTC Diamond?

Mine's on order and I can't wait to start modifying and tweaking the ROM... Any pointers on what to do first would be great. I will share my experiences later on so others with rogers diamonds will know what to do...

Thanks,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] raymanxp:
hey mr_yellow

i'm interested to see how the rogers branded diamond performs.

i have diam100 model from asia with .05 radio, which works quite well on the 850mhz band.

I'm hoping for some miracle for a radio with 3G support. Maybe u can shed some light on that when it's in your hands?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dhatw:
What do you mean exactly by on order? I have not seen it on the website and none of the reps seem to know anything obout it. Anyways, I was tired of waiting I took the plunge and got the HD.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mr_yellow:
The HTC Diamond is actually in the system now... Official Launch is Dec 3rd (tomorrow). but I got a rep that knew about it and I'm having it shipped to me.

too bad you went with the HD. you're going to miss the 3.5G. 7.2mbit HSDPA connection!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] D0MZE:
Yea I just called,

They said they do have the HTC Diamond and when I asked about pricing, he said he couldn't tell me much, all I saw there, 3yrs/649$
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dhatw:
Well I am a relative noob, but from what I understand from nunerous sources including Rogers tech reps the data connection is no where near the "maximum" speed. I also thought I understood that Rogers only has 3g and not 3.5g or is that the same thing? Anyways, I won't miss out because I don't have any data now. I won't pay the monthly charges for something I hardly ever use. I do use WIFI from time to time since I live in downtosn Toronto and there are quite a few hotspots around.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nanastas:
yep

Just got mine tonight.

Still tweaking. haven't reflashed or unlocked it yet.

So far, so great. Faster than my Tytn was, but still subjective.

Will update you as things go.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] D0MZE:
Nice man!

How is it? Did they add anything to it or?

Is it written rogers anywhere on it? (just asking haha :p)

I'm debatting like you may have seen on my other thread if i should buy it factory unlocked or branded from rogers...

How much did you get it for btw?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nanastas:
all good

its good so far, still loading things to get it functional like my old tytn.

Rogers mostly left it alone. Some bloatware, but just links to vision stuff.

I thinks its CID /SIM locked, so I gotta unlock before I flash anything.

no rogers logos on the device, just on the box.

really nice phone so far, gotta learn to live with the 4gb, had a 16gb in my tytn....

I'm Tier4, so my CSR quoted me 299 with a 3yr re-sign...

a thread exists already trying to solve this, see here...

as you can see there are a lot of wm users using a variety of devices on rogers having this issue.

please upload your rilgsm.dll file in windows folder or any .dll beginning with "ril", here.

now i'm gonna need help getting this working so if you are exprienced with wm plz help. i have had my diamond since May, and have been waiting since for this rom to be avaliable.

if you can dump the whole rom and post it that will be more helpful, as i can post the link in the general dev and hacking, and it will be pounced on by those user also.

i am so tired of seeing "unknown caller" every time someone calls lol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mr_yellow:
I think it will help the community a lot if we can figure out how to grab a copy of the official Rogers ROM (so that we can reflash back to stock if something goes wrong).

After that, we can focus on things like App/CID/SIM unlocking...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] prince_72:
Name display at Rogers/Fido

I agree with Blazeitup123

I also fed up with unknown caller

I pay for the Name Display and I dont have it.

Got my rogers HTC Diamond Today. CID unlocked, and SIM Unlocked. Flashed Olipro 1.40 Hard Spl. 1.00.25 Radio and Dutty's 3.5 Cookes Rom. Nice and Fast. Phone is Really nice. Paid 199 with 3Yr Contract with NO data plan need (Done through customer relations and not Customer Service). Let me know what you guyz flash and what radio you use!!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] raymanxp:
hey varioIII did u have 3g connection to rogers with the original radio, and does your current radio 1.00.25 have 3g connection as well?

hey how did you manage to get the phone for such an amazing price without data plan. can you please pm me. thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pinball:
Just got mine today.:) Nice change from the Hermes.

The only problem is that they sent me the french version. Not a big deal since there is no keyboard and I will be flashing a new english ROM anyway.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] arcsvibe:
I got mine on the first day it was launched. So far it is really a good little phone (I am coming off using a 2G iPhone)

The tweaks I found here had made the phone even better!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rogers_smartpho:
why need CID unlocked, and SIM Unlocked.?

Hi, I am about to buy the rogers diamond. Could you advise my two concerns?

1) why need CID unlocked, and SIM Unlocked.?

After CID unlocked, can i see the caller id without subscribe rogers caller id service?

2) GPS is my must have function for a smartphone. I am using iguidance 3.0 on my hp 6955 now. Have you installed any gps app. in your diamond? how does it work?

Thank you!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] felixmo:
i got my rogers htc diamond, my cid works perfectly out of the box.

gps works perfectly, i have google maps and tomtom 7 installed and they both work great and is very accurate
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hpad06:
felixmo,

what version of tomtom are you using?

I am using tomtom 7.91, when I drive I feel it has about 1-2 seconds lag, you didn't feel it at all?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] felixmo:
i'm using tomtom 7.910 build 9185

nope, no lag:D

i am getting data from 8 sats. on avg.

but, when i get into a place with low reception (3 - 4 sats.) it will lag a little bit:(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ishoong:
I got my Rogers diamond for a week now but I am very disappoint with the 3G speed and the opera broswer. I am not always able to connect to 3G network but my friend beside me able to connect with his iphone and even collected to 3G, his iphone only take 5 sec to load up a page but my diamond took over 2 min!!!!:mad: I hate the iphone that cannot unlock, no radio and cannot edit a word/excel document but now I am seriously consider to give them back the diamond and get the iphone since the $30 data plan is being totally useless at all with the diamond! So will a rom reflash will help?

Also why the Opera mobile can't stay on a website that require membership logon?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rogers_smartpho:
Hi ishoong, I am planning to buy rogers branded diamond, but have to reconsider after reading your complain ...

I heard the old version of Diamond is quite slow in general, but imporve significantly after upgrading the new firmware.

In your case, do you notice any other slowness other than 3g connections?

thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ishoong:
Not as responsive as my old touch and iphone but still acceptable. Also I hate when Opera crashed the phone not able to make any noise such as phone ring, alert, FM radio, mp3...etc. until a reboot.:mad: If I can have the 3G issue & the memerbership issue fix, I am happy to stay with the diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rogers_smartpho:
Ishoong and all other Rogers diamond users, could you guys update your 'review' on this phone?

I have been using WM smartphone (I am an unix guy at work:-), which has obviouse advantages over the other platform. I am very pleased with my hp6955, but it doesn't have 3g.

My next favored WM smartphone is samsung i900, which doesn't have north america 3g version yet. So, diamond is my second choice, but looks like it is having lot of the "issue", accoring to what i've read.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] rogers_smartpho:
Avoid rogers diamond!

I had to exchange rogers diamond to iphone even though I am always not a apple fan.

For whatever reason, the performance of rogers diamond is unacceptable. i.e. Multiple applications running concurrently would just hang the system. It's like a single thread system

I called the customer service, and the customer service manager didn't explicitly deny the problem when i pointed out, which imply this could be a common issue to the rogers diamond. As I have been reading all the diamond review, bad performance seems a always an issue. Some said, it's being significantly improved after upgrading to the new firmware, but at least this is not the case on rogers diamond. Regardless the underlying reason, i highly doubt rogers did a real integration test on diamond!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] D0MZE:
Been using mine for 2 weeks now, I can't complain, can connect through wifi and 3G very well...

I am just waiting to be able to rip out the splash screen so I can flash that baby with another ROM, i.e dutty's 3.6b rom.

Did you guys tweak your phone at all?

BTW what do you guys mean by "new firmware". Do you mean ROM or Radio Rom? please be specific
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nanastas:
update?

I love this phone.

I thought my Tytn was a powerhouse, but this is great.

Flash HardSPL and then use CT's new 6.1 ROM- you'll get the speed and memory back you thought you lost.

my 3g speed is smoking fast. Opera never crashes on me. I have plenty of RAM to run other programs.

Garmin works perfectly, as do Google maps and other GPS programs. lag is reduced with the new rom and tweaks.

I can't speak about battery life, because I got the extended batter (1350mah) at the same time as the phone, and I've only used it- it rocks.

I thought i'd miss not having a keyboard and long for a Fuze/TouchPro, but not really. I've adjusted to having only 4Gb down from 16Gb, that was only music anyways, and I have an mp3 player if i want that, or just use the FM radio in my diamond.

It's a keeper for me.
