I have a question for those who have successfully gotten this ROM to work. Has anyone gotten it to work with AT&T? If so, did you need to do anything special?

[Moto G Power (2021)] ct760ster:
Hello, I need help. After flashing the latest version into my phone it seems that the touch of the display is not functional at all. I tried already factory reset at the recovery with no result at solving the issue. Thank You for any response and hint you may give.
[Moto G Power (2021)] ratz.wad:
Hi! im just wondering how the people who were somehow able to flash this to the borneo variant were able to do the flash, cant wrap my head around it currently. i either get an ''Invalid zip file format'' via adb and via installing from my SD card.
[Moto G Power (2021)] Electimon:
I assume you are the guy from TG, and your issue was resolved
[Moto G Power (2021)] yiker:
Hey! Is anyone using this rom as there main os at the moment and is it reliable. (If yes then can you add some screenshots)
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
How would I come across using this on my phone? Like, if I wanted to try out something like microG on it?

Edit: I've been looking forward to using a custom rom on my Moto G Power 2021 Borneo, and so far, I am finding only this and would also like some sort of guide on how I would flash this custom rom on my phone after I backup my data.
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
You can use any of these:

There are also other roms on telegram.
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
How would I come by installing a custom rom on my phone? Issue also is that I don't use Telegram
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
Unlock bootloader if you haven't already (make a backup because this will erase all your user data). To do it go here: https://en-us.support.motorola.com/app/utils/welcome?p_next_page=standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b.

Then follow the instructions in the OP

You don't need to actually make a telegram account to use the roms. the device has a channel which is linked in the last post on this page: https://xdaforums.com/t/is-this-phone-dead-to-future-roms-or-upgrades.4569255/. The dev of this rom and A-Team also have telegram channels where they post other roms they have made for this device.
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
How am I supposed to access the channels to get the roms though? That's what I'm wondering about

Edit: More importantly, why am I still not able to access them after adding /s/ between t.me and the channel names just to get the roms?
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
You can just click on the link and open it in your browser. Then click where it says @motobengalupdates. Then click preview channel. Then find the latest upload for this device.
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
After I finish the processes, am I able to relock the bootloader?
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
No, not unless you flash back stock. Otherwise you will brick it.
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
How would I flash microg without having to flash magisk? I want to avoid that utility but something I can use to patch for signature spoofing.
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
You can't on this device as far as I know unless you use a rom that comes with microg and/or signature spoofing. Your options for that (as far as I know) are Electimon's LMODroid, A-Team's Havoc, or the ArrowOS in the bengal updates chat. I guess you could try one of these instead, but I doubt it'll work: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/org.lsposed.lspatch

VirtualXposed | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

Use Xposed without root, unlock the bootloader or modify system image

f-droid.org
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
Here's the thing though. I could've gone with the ArrowOS, but that one includes Google Play Services on it. I wanted to try out using microG on it, but it wouldn't have been possible on ArrowOS since it has Play Services on it.
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
Yeah. Well, you can try one of the other two or root. If you want, I can directly link you to those.
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
What are the other two?
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
Here's some more info if you're curious:

LibreMobileOS

Rich Featured Privacy Focused Mobile OS

libremobileos.com

Havoc-OS

havoc-os.com
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
None of them have a rom for borneo. What should I know for them?
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
They do. Here's the latest LMO:

https://1pwn.ixmoe.com/android/borneo/jenkins/lmodroid_borneo-img-12.zip

Let me know if you want the Havoc and I can put it on mediafire, since it's only on telegram.
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
I can try that one as well.
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
Do you mean LMODroid or Havoc?
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
I downloaded the LMODroid image. Could you send the havoc one?
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
Nevermind, that one has gapps, too, lol.
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
I still have yet to figure out how to get microG working on LineageOS, and I haven't even figured out through magisk yet. What am I supposed to do?
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
What do you mean haven't figured out through Magisk? Do you mean you haven't figured out how to root through Magisk or how to install MicroG through Magisk? Follow this to root: https://www.xda-developers.com/root/. In your case, extract the rom and copy the boot.img to your phone. Then install the Magisk app (from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk) and press install after you open the app. Click choose a file or whatever it says and then pick the boot img. Then copy the file it puts in your downloads folder to your computer and flash it using "fastboot flash boot magisk-patched-something.img".

If you're asking how to install MicroG in Magisk, first turn on Zygisk in Magisk settings and reboot. Then flash LSPosed from here in the modules tab and reboot again: https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed

Then install fakegapps:

Then go to LSPosed (through the notification) and enable the FakeGapps module. Then you might have to reboot again. Finally, flash one of these in the Magisk modules tab and reboot: https://github.com/nift4/microg_installer_revived

Then go into MicroG settings and check all the checkboxes that you want to. If you want, you can install location backends from F-Droid, just search up backend. If you want the real Play Store with the Revived version, follow his instructions:

GitHub - nift4/microg_installer_revived: Install microG GmsCore, GsfProxy, FakeStore (or Play Store if you want so) and MapsV1 to /system/

[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
This is actually making me lose my mind even more than what I expected it to.
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
Haha, don't blame you if you're just getting into this and doing it all at once. It seems like a lot, but mostly a lot of rebooting.
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
Don't tell me I have to use the Google Play Services on here. I've done this before, but I did not expect NanoDroid to not work over Android 11

Edit: This is why I'm stressing too much over it.
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
You definitely don't. Let me know if you need any help with any of the steps. I don't know if you need anything that explicitly needs MicroG/Play Services, but I can get by pretty well without either, might be something to try if feasible.
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
I have been spending all night so far looking for solutions on how to get signature spoofing and everything else working on here, and I haven't found a solution yet. I don't know what other option I can do
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
Well, let me know what problems you have if you try the things I mentioned. Good luck and report back if you want.
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
Should I still try to get microg working on here if there is a way without magisk?
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
You can try LSPatch or using LMODroid. It definitely works in LMODroid, I've used it with that rom myself. LSPatch I'm doubtful about, though.
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
I think that one's Android 12 though. I couldn't flash LMODroid
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
No, it's android 13. It's just builld no. 12. What problem did you have flashing it?
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
```

Writing 'super' (bootloader) Unsupported super image format, rejecting...

(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

FAILED (remote: '')

fastboot: error: Command failed

```
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
Did you use platform-tools r33? You can get it here: https://androidsdkmanager.azurewebsites.net/Platformtools

Be sure not to use the latest one.
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
So it works, but at times it thinks it's still in Android Setup Mode and disables the Home Button and the Quick Settings drag down. How can I prevent it from doing that?
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
Did you prevent the setup from finishing? For example, this happened to me after using universal android debloater during setup. Only advice I have is to reboot a couple of times and and try changing system navigation mode. Nav might work after that, so you can try switching back to whatever nav mode you were on before, but it might not work (two-button nav doesn't work in the rom I'm using right now). If those don't work, reset if you're willing.
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
I went through the setup, and it had me reboot after the setup was finished
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
Yeah, so try the things I suggested.
[Moto G Power (2021)] TetraShot7:
I think it might be a bug where you enter certain bugs and just disables full functionality and enters back in setup functionality. Where can I report this?
[Moto G Power (2021)] :
You can report it to Electimon here, just tag him. He'll probably ask you to get logs unless he knows what the problem is.

[Google Pixel 7] juancastro86:
I have updated the phone a few times and it is still showing that is in November play system updates. Can anyone help me to fix this issue?
[Google Pixel 7] thattechguy_69:
November Play system update is for the Google Play Store, Android security update is the one that normally changes when you update via System update<Settings
[Google Pixel 7] poit:
It's not just you. I've got several Play system updates including one yesterday, but it's still listed as November 1. Play system updates have always seemed to lag a month or 2 behind.
[Google Pixel 7] kevinireland11:
Same with me to, my p6p is on Jan and my p7 is on November, they always mess something up lol
[Google Pixel 7] ariesgodofwar:
I am still on November as well. Am on the latest QPR for what it matters. Some P7 owners have gotten the Jan Services update it seems. It is crazy that my son's One Plus N200 5G has the Jan Play Services Update and our phones don't. I really wish Google would say something about it, even to confirm there is an issue or function that was not working properly or creating the hold up. Not a fan of the radio silence
[Google Pixel 7] chaimav:
Same here on both mine and my daughter's P7. Unlocked, purchased directly from Google.
[Google Pixel 7] sic0048:
I supposedly installed the Jan Play update (Settings/About Phone/Android Version/Google Play) a couple days ago. I've restarted the phone to finish the installation as the process said, but it still shows up as Nov 22 update. No update is found when I check either. Obviously we are not alone with this problem......
[Google Pixel 7] mewcatchew:
Pixel 7 here, still on Nov,1st Google Play update.
[Google Pixel 7] chaimav:
I've installed at least half a dozen 'updates' since November, but it still reports the November version.
[Google Pixel 7] mewcatchew:
I was stuck on November security patch till a few days ago; I read online that T-Mo & Google fi were holding back security updates because it caused issues with esims. So I put in an old Verizon SIM card I had laying around and I was able to get the Dec & Jan security updates that way. I didn't think to check the play update and it turns out I'm also on Nov. Will try and use the SIM swap later to see if that works.
[Google Pixel 7] chaimav:
There are two different updates. There is the Android update and Play Services update. I believe the T-Mobile issue is for Android, is it not?
[Google Pixel 7] mewcatchew:
Yes, 2 different updates but possibly it may affect google play update. It's just a suggestion and I haven't bothered try it. It did allow me to update the Android security patches for Dec & Jan. I didn't think to manually check for googe play service update when I had the Verizon card in.
[Google Pixel 7] kevinireland11:
Is there also a system update? Iv already had the January update but is there another? And yeah I'm still also on Nov googleplay
[Google Pixel 7] kevinireland11:
Just got the update to Jan googleplay there.nowView attachment 5824077
[Google Pixel 7] poit:
Yep, January Play system update just showed up. 63 MB in size. Now it actually says January 1.
[Google Pixel 7] sic0048:
Mine too. Checked it last night and it said to reboot to complete update (which it's said many times before since the Nov update). However this time when I rebooted, it shows Jan 1, 2023 update which is persistent after a second reboot. I've had the phone say Jan 1, 2023 update before (in the last week) but it didn't persist through a second reboot.
[Google Pixel 7] lupastro82:
Also here (rooted p7p) stuck in Nov play system release. Very annoying.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rbahr:
I was moving quickly the other day, and I ended up with a 1+ 6T that does NOT appear on my PC when plugged in. It has a copy of TWRP running and Linage, but I can't seem to change anything. Msm and Adb seem to have no connection, I have gotten the fastboot program to occasionally see the device, and on occasion I see it in my windows explorer. I am trying to get this back to a 'good' state where I can change to OS or make any changes. I am uncertain is both A / B partitions are loaded with Linage. I had this working recently, but made some dumb mistakes.

I am also unable to see the SD partion on the windows explorer any more

How do I fix this mess?

Thanks

Ray
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Brettroth:
So what is your goal then? I would reinstall latest oos on both slots because who knows what base oos rom was on there. Then put whatever rom on. As far as the PC seeing it maybe the port is dirty or wire is bad I've had that problem. If PC doesn't recognize with mtp enabled in twrp then either your drivers are wrong on PC or the wire or port are bad.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rbahr:
Thanks for your reply. Pretty sure the culprit was a funky windows driver. I finally got MSM to work and restored everything to original. but since then have been having a bear of a time to load anything. More and more thinking that my machine has a problem. I may look at switching over to a different machine.

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] junksmi:
Hi all,

First of all, I've seen F*!K, undelete contacts? - xda-developers, but I'm not sure it applies completely to me, so here it goes...

Somehow, all my contacts have disappeared - except for five: two on phone (and three others on the SIM). The only event I can think of, that may have caused this, is that I tried using ActiveSync on an EEE PC with one of those efw things active (which redirects all file writes to RAM), and no Microsoft Outlook installed.

I have found logs in \Windows\ActiveSync folder on the phone, called CtrlLogX.txt, posted the last entries here http://pastebin.com/f4ba24ed6 - however, the log refers to mypc1 (my usual PC, which also does not have Outlook installed, but never seemed to cause any problems like this), which is not the EEE PC above (that EEE PC doesn't seem to be referred to anywhere in these logs).

Additionally, I've found a pim.vol file, 580 KB, in the root of the phone, which if opened in a text editor, actually STILL seems contain old contacts... The phone has not been rebooted (I think) ever since that EEE syncing event (and some weeks before that)..

The SMSes still show contacts with names, however, when I click on the contact, it tells me "Confirm: This person is not in your contact list. Do you wish to create a new contact for this person?" I of course enter NO, because I'm afraid "yes" would overwrite the pim.vol file...

Can anyone explain what has happened, and how to possibly get the contacts back? In line with that, I'd also ask:

- Where are ActiveSync logs kept on the phone (that is, is there anything else than \Windows\ActiveSync\CtrlLogX.txt)

- How are contacts stored on WM6 (is it only the pim.vol file - or is there anything else? If contacts were saved as one file per contact, and if ActiveSync deletes these files - then would it be possible to undelete the contact files [given deletion on mobile device also works by deleting entries in partition table, but not zeroing the actual memory]?)

Thanks for any responses...
[General Questions and Answers] junksmi:
[bump] any help? Still haven't rebooted the phone - perhaps there is some precautinary measure I could take before rebooting? Already backed up the pim.vol...
[General Questions and Answers] junksmi:
[bump] ok... decided to bite the bullet, and rebooted the phone - still no contacts, but the pim.vol file is still as big as before... So what should I make of this - that the pim.vol is corrupt? How could I repair it (short of copying all human-readable contents inside by hand)?

Anyone know anyone at Microsoft that could share the structure of the pim.vol file, LOL :) :)

By the way, if this is NOT the forum to ask questions like these - could someone at least suggest a forum where I could ask about my problem?

Thanks...
[General Questions and Answers] secguard:
You can backup the pim.vol file first. And then you can download a problem called "spb Backup". You can view the pim.vol by this software.
[General Questions and Answers] junksmi:
WM6 address book/contacts deleted (after ActiveSync?) ? - corrupt pim.vol

Secguard, thanks for your response!

I trieb Spb Backup briefly, but I simply cannot see how it can view the pim.vol file - it can backup personal information data which is in the pim.vol.

Well, I finally managed to solve my problem thanks to an old Sprite backup I had, which had an uncorrupt pim.vol file. Those contacts that did show up (mentioned in OP) were apparently added later - after the original corruption occured?..

Anyways, I used the PIM Backup software (which besides being freeware, also saves data in human-parsable CSV like format) to backup these "later" contacts; then I restored the old Sprite backup with an uncorrupted pim.vol file, and then I used PIM Backup again to append the "later" contacts to the uncorrupted pim.vol. Finally, used PIM Backup to backup this appended pim.vol file, and I am not worried about contacts data that much! :)

Well, just wanted to write a bit about what I've found out so far about similar problems - maybe help out other lost souls like mine :) Searching for "corrupt pim.vol" does indeed return quite a bit of hits - I should've thought about that phrase earlier :)

Part 1

First of all, I am not the only one who has had a problem with a corrupt pim.vol file (see also post 578 - PIM Backup; Delete Active Sync Relationship deletes my Contacts =(; ActiveSync 3.x Troubleshooting Guide - Missing Calendar, Contacts ...; contacts recovery after active sync; ActiveSync Deleted my phone contacts , when i removed the profile ...):

Same as me - except those are most likely not leftover deleted contacts, but parts of the call log, as noted here:

So, if pim.vol gets corrupted and contact data is missing, nothing can retrieve the missing data - my uncorrupted pim.vol is some 700 KB, the corrupted one is some 500 KB - as said before, those contacts that can be seen from a hex editor are most likely recent calls. In that case, it cannot be read neither by PIM Backup, nor anything else that reads pim.vol the usual way:

In my case too - Pim Backup could only retrieve the same three contacts from the corrupt pim.vol as I got shown in Contacts (probably since it uses poutlook to read the contacts?) ..

The files pim.vol and cemail.vol seem to be central to contacts and sms messages:
[General Questions and Answers] junksmi:
WM6 address book/contacts deleted (after ActiveSync?) ? - corrupt pim.vol

Part 2

Now, pim.vol and cemail.vol seem to be special files - not files as such, but instead databases:

Now, from all these it really does not seem that one can read pim.vol and cemail.vol short of programming an application for a mobile device. However, for pim.vol, one must mention user Sasha and his fantastic perl script that is a binary parser for pim.vol files:

The source is given in the post - and it even worked for me, for some corrupted entries - however, those are again, most likely call logs, and also, most of the stuff I got back was in the format:

Contacts Databasecol;12845087

so it didn't help me too much..

Also, one can use the great XdaUtils / itsutils command line utilities XDADeveloperWiki - Xda Utils, to browse the phone databases. Parts of the source mention:

Maybe that is why, when one executes "pdblist -v", one gets cemail.vol listed - but not pim.vol!! Thus, cemail can be browsed through these tools, but not pim.vol ("pdblist -v pim.vol" for me results with "ERROR: CeUnmountDBVol(pim.vol) - The parameter is incorrect."). However, all of the SMSes from cemail.vol - in fact all data from all acccessible databases - can be dumped and they are readable too (except this dump cannot be restored) from the command line by using:

pdblist -D -r>alldb.txt

alldb.txt will be some 2MB text file, which will also contain SMS text messages.. Apparently there are plans for these command line utilities to also offer restore:

but who knows if that will get implemented..

Pretty much the same data given by XdaUtils (that is, cemail.vol yes, pim.vol no) can also be seen from dbviewsp (see above for link) running on the mobile phone.

It is possible to backup the pim.vol file on my phone directly - using a rename trick; but the same is not possible with cemail.vol:

The page Backup & Restore your Cemail . vol easily - xda-developers shows a MortScript that should theoretically save the cemail.vol file; it seems to work for some, didn't for me. Maybe because of this:

Well, that should be it - hope this helps someone..

Cheers !
