What you said are wrong.

Flashing the unlocked firmware will provide better carrier compatibility for other carriers such as ATT and Verizon. The original t-mobile/metro firmware blocks some features or makes it unusable at all for other carriers like ATT even after sim unlock.

In addition, after flashing unlocked firmware, there won't be any carrier bloatware installed and the boot animation won't be carriers' specific animation anymore.

BTW: Motorola is going to update the unlocked/retus firmware to even support 5G on carriers like ATT and Verizon.

Conclusion: flash the unlcoked retus version firmware to your metro version, and you will have the same best carrier compatibility as the factory unlocked version and the least bloatware. Both the metro/tmo and retus model numbers are the same XT2215-4 with exact same hardware, so you can fully convert to the unlocked version.

Thanks, I have the Qualcomm version. In the process of getting everything ready. Currently having difficulty getting rsd lite to work on my windows 10 PC. Learning curve for me as I have little flash experience.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] fddm:
He has a G Stylus 5G 2022 from Metro, I have the same variant. It's Qualcomm and works fine on retus firmware.

Afaik RSD Lite hasn't worked since Windows 8, might be your issue.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] retrov:

[Moto G Stylus 5G] fddm:
Try Tiny-Fastboot-Script that I linked to earlier

lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.

Just extract your firmware and script archives into the same folder and run flash.bat. You'll want the EN version for English.

[Moto G Stylus 5G] teleisbetter:
Hi, I just network unlocked the same phone as you! Did you do it? Any advantages / OTA updates work?

Does it have to be bootloader unlocked to crossflash? (I really dont want to unlock the bootloader).

Please share the links to cross flash. really appreciate it. Thank you!

How has your experience been after converting to RETUS?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Wish39:
Hi, yep I converted it to RETUS and it went well. Didn't even have to unlock the bootloader since the Metro and factory unlocked models have the same model number. You'd have to have an unlocked bootloader if the model numbers are not the same.

You can grab RETUS firmware here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/milanf/official/RETUS/

And you can refer to this thread for info on how to crossflash.

Best of luck to you.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] teleisbetter:
Thank you! The model number is the same. Downloading rsd lite for mac and the latest available firmware on the link you provided (seems to be 12/22 - a bit old).

Update: I was trying to use RSD Lite for Mac but I keep getting "Bad CPU architect" since mine is M1. Need to find a windows PC before I can attempt again
[Moto G Stylus 5G] pbababab:
I tried using LMSA on windows, keeps giving me an error, Fastboot flash failed.

What version was your device at before flashing? and how did you do it without unlocking bootloader? I mean what method did you use?

Also, I see that the current version i have is S2SDS32.21-85-3-6, and the RET us is S1SDS32.56-81-5. Could this be an issue?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] turbozapekanka:
I also plan to flash the RETUS version in hope to get 5G support on Verizon, or should I flash the VZW version instead? I also want to change the Software channel from "DISH Wireless". What concerns me is that RETUS version is relatively old, from Dec 2022, whereas VZW and other carries are more like May-June 2023

the suffix of the model for VZW is also different - XT2215-1 vs XT2215-4. Mine is Boost (XT2215-4) is it safe to flash to XT2215-1? Any input appreciated
[Moto G Stylus 5G] turbozapekanka:
So I tried to flash it but get this error, probably because the RETUS firmware and bootloader is older version (8 vs 13)

Any ideas?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] turbozapekanka:
I was able to successfully flash the VZW firmware but the model number stayed the same XT2215-4 and still no 5G and the Software channel was still "DISH Wireless"

The only thing that changed was build number.

Not sure if that gives me any value compared to Boost FW
[Moto G Stylus 5G] fathergweedo:
Good to hear that you can flash the Boost model to RETUS. Being the difference in ram (Boost=4GB, vs Retail/others=6GB), I was doubtful of success. I'm considering cross-flashing a Metro model to Boost (temporarily) in hopes I will get prompted for a SIM unlock when placing a foreign (T-Mo) SIM into it vs waiting for it to become available in the coming months automatically. Risking a brick vs the wait seema a bit more possible/comforting now IYKWIM. Fingers crossed ;)

EDIT: RETUS is up to S1SDS32.56-25-10-9 (Build Date: Fri May 5 09:41:10 CDT 2023), but the lollinet repos don't have that one available. I snagged it via the Moto updates tracker link weeks ago. I have it sitting here if anyone wants me to place it in my AFH account. Just ask, and I'll upload it (time permitting).

EDIT2: Update link

Edit 3: File removed due to a blunder by yours truly. Apologies for my error and any inconvenience.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] teleisbetter:
I fastboot flashed the RETUS firmware on my Metro & Boost phones (both are same as RETUS model: XT2215-4). Metro had vbmeta fail due to roll back protection since it was already one update higher than RETUS but it still flashed the system - the software channel remained metro despite the flash.

Boost phone wasnt updated it in a while so the RETUS firmware installed successfully without any error BUT the software channel shows DISH.

I am flashing through fastboot by manually issuing each command and my bootloader is locked. I am not sure why it wouldnt change the software channel.

Please checkout and comment on my new thread to keep the information streamlined - https://xdaforums.com/t/moto-g-styl...discussion-boost-metro-t-mo-to-retus.4604061/

Thank you!
[Moto G Stylus 5G] turbozapekanka:
I was not. tried old version from lollinet but no-go since older bootloader version

will now try the updated build you linked

UPD: the FW on your link worked and successfully flashed, but the Software channel did not change. Any idea if that's going to be a problem and how to change it?

UPD2: upon checking, the firmware you uploaded actually matches the lolinet FW XT2215-1_MILANF_RETUS_12_S1SDS32.56-25-10-9_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_cid50_CFC.xml.zip for RETUS_VS

None of the methods work. Despite a successful flash, there software channel does not change. I bricked my phone accidentally and then flashed RETUS firmware so I am sure the new firmware was flashed yet the software channel did not change.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] teleisbetter:
is this the most recent RETUS firmware? I am going to flash it on my Boost variant now! Thank you.

update: What you uploaded is not RETUS. it is RETUS-VS (visible)
[Moto G Stylus 5G] teleisbetter:
Do not use that firmware! I am not able to go back to my Boost Firmware after flashing the RETUS_VS one thinking it was RETUS.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] runed.OS:
These devices should be a/b enabled. You might be able to go back and flash the correct firmware if you switch slots!
[Moto G Stylus 5G] teleisbetter:
I have fastboot access. I can keep flashing! I am not sure if these devices are a/b enabled though.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] fathergweedo:
I'm deeply sorry for this. It's late and I will investigate how I could make such a mistake. For the time being, I removed that firmware file from AFH.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Wish39:
That is because Moto decided to unify the software builds specifically for the XT2215-4. The software channel for all XT2215-4's regardless of carrier is "Universal SKU".

Edit: Seems like Boost/Dish has their own software channel, as far as I know you can't change that, so you'd have to manually update the phone though flashing firmware. I do know T-Mobile/Metro uses the same "Universal SKU" software channel as the real unlocked models, so I'm betting OTA's probably still work on those models.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] Wish39:
You uploaded Visible firmware, they use clean RETUS firmware but installed on Verizon models since they're owned by them. Ex: The Verizon/Visible G Stylus 5G 2022 is XT2215-1, not XT2215-4. I have a Visible Moto G Pure just like this, XT2163-2 but on RETUS firmware.

Just letting you know so you don't make this mistake again 😀
[Moto G Stylus 5G] teleisbetter:
Yeah. The firmware was for XT2215-1 (RETUS_VS). My phone boots back into fastboot irrespective of firmware that I flash including the RETUS_VS one. Not sure what’s up or how to unbrick them.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] teleisbetter:
That’s fine. I soft bricked my phones already

Do post If you find any information on how to flash them back to life
[Moto G Stylus 5G] turbozapekanka:
I was able to return back to Boost without any problems using RSA tool

Your issue is probably not related to the FW itself but rather a method/script you used.

I also learned that there is a RETUS firmware out there in telegram group that will probably be your best if you want unbranded experience, but you lose the OTA updates as the Software channel won't change during fw update. Whoever reads this please PM or tag me if you know how to change the Software channel on this phone.

The file name is XT2215-Stock_Firmware-S1SDS32.56_81_10.7z

I have not tried flashing this myself, as I decided to stay on boost FW and keep the OTA updates working.

[Moto G Stylus 5G] teleisbetter:
the FW works but the software channel does not change no matter what you do. It is hardcoded somewhere that is not flashable with the tools we have.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] googlephoneFKLenAsh:
The model number and software channel won't change by crossflashing, just like the IMEI or carrier lock/unlock status not changing, because the firmware doesn't touch the memory containing the information of model number, software channel, carrier lock/unlock status or IMEI number.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] googlephoneFKLenAsh:
I think we still need to unlock bootloader to cross flash retus firmware to metro variant, since they have different bootloader even though they have the same model number, otherwise you will get "preflash verification failed" error message.

After cross flashing, it won't be able to get OTA, and you have to manually update/flash new firmware, which is a drawback of cross flashing.
[Moto G Stylus 5G] turbozapekanka:
Will unlocking bootloader impact any bank apps or google wallet (payments with the phone)?
[Moto G Stylus 5G] googlephoneFKLenAsh:
Yes. It will impact some bank apps and google wallet.

You may use magisk to hide it from those apps but it is not always working as a mice catch game.

Is there a hack to make it work, or is this phone f***ed

[Moto G Stylus 5G] fddm:
Afaik Verizon does not use a strict whitelist. They just won't offer any support. You can always use a supported device to activate then move it over. You'll get LTE at least, but VoLTE and SMS is a tossup. You might try using the sim in different supported devices to try to get the right mix of features enabled, ymmv.

Idk about cross-flashing to Spectrum or VZW firmware though it would probably mostly work. I'd try disabling verity, extracting the product image from a VZW super.img, and then flashing it through fastbootd. That would give you all the missing Verizon support settings and apps(like vzwapn and omadm) without risk of breaking anything.

Hi,

I have Lancelot phone (4gb) running Miu 13.0.2 global - android 12

Reboot takes really long.

My WiFi router keeps disconnecting me it's a Fritzbox.. random Mac is disabled but router logs says not?

Multi tasking no-longer works,

The warning headphones app: I disabled
[Redmi 9 / Poco M2 Questions & Answers] hvdh:
I have the same. The phone ran better on MIUI 12 than on 13. I looked into the issue and it is RAM-starved on MIUI 13. The firmware just uses so much RAM by itself, that not enough is left for your apps. At least on my model wiht 3GB RAM.

I have a few things installed that run in background (Blokada ad blocker, Whatsapp, Threema, GMX mail) and there's not enough RAM that I reliably get a notification when someone sends me a Whatsapp message.

I plan to switch to LineageOS soon.

I stumbled upon the option to disable apps via adb pm. There one can also disable apps where it is greyed out in the settings/manage apps UI.

I noticed that "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox" uses about 300MB RAM although I do not use it.

Do "adb shell" and then e.g. "pm disable-user com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox".

I disabled some more (Google One, Google Wallet, GMail, com.google.android.apps.turbo, com.xiaomi.joyose. com.facebook.system, Mi browser, Mi Health, MIUI ads, MIUI analytics, ...) Will see how it works out.
