[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letmepick:
My s6 has been slow, with a dying battery, and kinda overheating.

When I had a s4 I remember using cyanogen and it was the best thing I could ever do, so I decided to try somethibg similar with my G920l.

It has Android 7.0 in it.

Software version G920lDVU4SFJ2

Kernel 3.10.61

Which rom do you recommend? Something that can focus on battery life. I dont need to run games on it, just be able to use internet and messaging apps (telegram, signal, whatsapp..), and gps.

Also, I havent done this in (literally) a decade, and looking for tutorials I admit I was confused. So if you have something for noobs, I apreciate it.

Thanks!

As many of the recent windows mobile devices, the Xperia supports the network feature "Alternate Line Service" ("ALS") (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_line_service) which allows to have two phonelines on one simcard.

One can easily switch between the lines with a dedicated menu, as shown here:

http://www.se-community.com/div/X1/line_change.jpg

The appearance of the second-line menus relies on an entry in the Customer Service Profile (CSP) of the subscriber simcard.

For instance, the menus appear when using simcards of Orange(UK) or One(AT), but not with T-Mobile or Vodafone simcards.

As some people find these menus annoying, especially when they are not subscribed to the ALS-service, they can easily remove them by setting the registry key "ShowALSPage" in HKLM/Software/OEM/PhoneSetting to "0".

Now, I have a particular problem:

I want the menus to appear even though my simcard does not have the necessary entry in the CSP. I am subscribed to the service with eplus(DE). However, this operators simcards only support a preliminary ALS-standard which was introduced in collaboration with Siemens almost ten years ago. Since Siemens mobilephones have vanished from the market, it would be nice if eplus would eventually update their simcards - what they still reject, unfortunately.

The eplus simcards hold the value 0x55 in the CSP, while, according to the final standard, 0x80 is expected for ALS capable sims. Till now, the only mobile phones interpreting eplus(DE) sims correctly are Siemens and the most recent Sonyericsson UIQ phones.

Some other mobilephones would still work with eplus(DE)-ALS service. For instance, on Nokia phones one can easily unlock the menus using CSP-override. Some Motorola phones simply always display the menus.

Is there any way to make the ALS-menus appear on Windows Mobile 6.0 devices, like the Xperia X1?

[XPERIA X1 General] inte:
Steven, does Orange(NL) support ALS at all?

As far as I know (and learned from their webside), they don't...

Usually, Orange-Sims are preactivated for ALS, if the service is applicable on the particular Orange network. For instance (and my own experience), the menus are displayed with simcards from Orange(UK) and Orange(CH), but not with simcards from Orange(FR) and Orange(CI). If you do not see the menus with your Orange(NL) simcard, it's pretty clear that Orange(NL) does not support the service. Since T-Mobile(NL) recently overtook Orange(NL), it is highly unlikely that the service will be introduced, as T-Mobile does not support ALS anywhere in the world.

BTW: The page you quoted discusses the general support of ALS by the Xperia handset. Yes, sure, it does support ALS, as long as the simcards are activated properly. However, this is not the case for eplus(DE) simcards - and this is why I'm posting here. You won't be able to use ALS on Orange(NL) even if you would be able to activate the menus, as ALS relies on a certain network configuration as well.

Hello all, I am trying to install a cracked Spotify package as if it were installed from the google play store on a non-rooted Zfold-4 so it can be used with android auto.

I'm trying to follow the guide at: https://www.xda-developers.com/psa-spotify-and-other-apps-not-working-with-android-auto-heres-a-fix/

however, the fold 4 doesnt have any sd card, so I tried using the command:

'pm install -i "com.android.vending" -r C:/spotify.apk'

after moving the apk to my c drive, but then I get the error:

Exception occurred while executing 'install':

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Error: Can't open file: C:/spotify.apk

does anyone have a fix?

Also, if the only option is to be rooted, then I will.

or ill just pay for spotify lol :)

[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] GigogoHK:
Hey XDA community, two weeks ago I purchased a Moto X40 from Aliexpress and it finally arrived yesterday. After going through some posts here, I successfully ported the Chinese ROM (retcn) to the European version (reteu). There might be easier and faster methods, but I'm sharing the one that worked for me.

Working features:

Unlock

NFC Payment

5G

OTA Update

Not yet tested:

Banking apps

Issues

- VPN, but you can check this comment for a fix

https://www.reddit.com/r/motorola/comments/zo38xu/_/j1u5t9l

Here's the step-by-step guide:

Ensure you have the latest version of fastboot installed.

Download the Motorola USB drivers: https://en-us.support.motorola.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481/~/where-can-i-download-the-usb-drivers-for-my-device?

Download the reteu ROM: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/rtwo/official/RETEU/

While the ROM is downloading, enable Developer mode and OEM Unlock on your device.

Follow the official Motorola bootloader unlock guide: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a

After unlocking the bootloader, extract the ROM file and return to fastboot mode.

Change to reteu by entering "fastboot oem config carrier reteu".

Download and install MotoFlashPro: https://xdaforums.com/t/utility-motoflashpro.4252201/. Choose the flashfile.xml from the extracted ROM folder, and your phone will be flashed.

When the welcome screen appears, go back to fastboot mode and relock the bootloader using "fastboot oem lock".

That's it! I'm now enjoying the EU ROM on my Moto X40. I'll update this post after I activate 5G on my SIM, test banking apps, and check for any OTA updates (the latest security patch for this ROM is from February 2023).

I hope this helps some of you out there!

Cheers!

EDIT: 5G works!

EDIT 19/05: OTA Update received
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] JustHereForNow:
There's a thread on the X30 Pro forum where someone confirmed banking + 5G works after converting to EU Model. So we're just waiting to see if OTA is working and if you can enable OEM Unlocking after relock. The guide is very helpful!
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] JackMane:

[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] GigogoHK:
I tried to run today Cloudflare Warp and noticed the VPN option is not available. I've read somewhere it could be a bug or it needs to activate the multiuser option. I'll research it further

April security patch with reteu rom and closed bootloader The vpn thing has not been corrected, hopefully there is a solution to this
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] GigogoHK:
I'm still in February, no OTA update yet. I created a multiuser account and can see the VPN option. It's something related to Google Apps Account security policies ?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] TheMystic:
Have you tried accessing VPN settings using an activity manager such as Shortcut Maker?

[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] ziggmax:
I did that too but it won't let me install apps outside of chrome but it's annoying that to use a vpn you have to enable multi-user Hopefully they will fix it soon with an update.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] TheMystic:
Try installing a VPN app like Netguard or a real VPN.

Not sure what you mean by 'won't let me install apps outside of Chrome'.

VPN has nothing to do with multi-user feature.

The VPN seems to be an issue among all moto phones running android 12+. If there are no issues I wouldn't care about unlocking the bootloader again. Have you tried fastboot flashing unlock? I've seen other moto phones allow an unlock threw that despite being greyed.

What tool or method did you use to flash the firmware? I used the Motoflash Pro tool but for me OTA didnt work at the beginning. I needed the help from that telegram guy to fix mine. He made it falshable again and now after reflashing the EU Rom everything seems to work fine.

How did you know your OTA didn't work? I can't test it because it seems there isn't an update pending.

what is your current software version for the phone? maybe my OTA isn't working as well.

I have just bought an X40 from China, but I cannot unlock the bootloader. I downloaded the latest drivers and used the latest fastboot version. I can successfully get the `oem_unlock_data` from the fastboot command, but the website https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a redirects to https://en-us.support.motorola.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a and my `oem_unlock_data` code does not work on this website.

Sir, may I ask several questions about your guide?

Can you help me to understand how to achieve the 7th step? Does it involve changing the software channel of XT2301-5? And what exactly does this modification entail?

I have successfully transferred the Chinese ROM (retcn) to the Great Britain/European version (reteu). Nevertheless, the speakers are dysfunctional, but anything else is good (Band, WiFi...). Do you happen to have any suggestions for this issue? Can I flash the EU-ROM again (flashing with all user data saved) under your guidance and software?

Based on your statement, it appears that the OTA Update feature has been successfully implemented. Does this mean that once I follow your guidance for porting, I will be able to update my mobile device via OTA instead of having to flash it?

I appreciate your assistance.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] squall77:
I have problem after locking the bootloader. The only difference is that I access after boot up see there is OTA then i relock back then now it won't boot up just stuck at animation screen. Anyone can assist?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] RZLNIE:
I'm sorry to hear that, but unfortunately, the unlocking process cannot be reversed. When you locked the phone, it was set to flashing_locked instead of oem_locked. This means the phone cannot be flashed with any ROMs unless it is unlocked again. Additionally, this process also locks your OEM simultaneously.

Based on the information you provided, it appears that the phone is currently locked and the system cannot be accessed to unlock the OEM. Whence, there is no impossible to unlock the phone or flash any ROMs onto it.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Drasner:
What is the reason for Motorola to allow the phone to be unlocked only once?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] RZLNIE:
Simple, referring to the application from the unlock-your-device website is the Motorola warranty. The true process behind the unlocking involves "melting" the QFUSE in your phone.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Drasner:
I understand they have designed it to be this way. My question is why, what is the reason to design it this way?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] RZLNIE:
I don't know. I'm not the engineer of the Moto. It seems like flashing a smartphone has become increasingly difficult over the past 12 years.

[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] Soketto:
UPDATE: 3rd time is the charm, it worked after trying again, however I did make sure to slowly scroll through the ToS this time, so either it is that or they have some intermittent issues.

I was following this guide to unlock my x40, and with the tip to use the 'en-gb' site it said that the bootloader can be unlocked. So I agreed to the ToS and popup that says warranty would be void, however after this I got redirected to an error page and was not provided with an unlock code. Have tried twice with the same result (and also on the us version of the site, but that's just a plain can't be unlocked).

Any ideas for getting around this or why it happens? Thanks :)
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] mxz55:
Good to hear that it's known, i thought the lack of VPN dialog/settings was due to my debloat, as said there regarding VPN, but then it A) was a misconception as i didn't try to install a VPN app until after my debloat, or B) this VPN issue is related to a mismatching package on which is being relied for VPN functionality, and for some reason Moto X40's will be affected after the conversion to global.

I can't tell if the problem occurs on stock Motorola Edge 40 Pro's, or only on them after a debloat, just like it would on converted Moto X40, because im not yet willing to reset my Edge 40 Pro at this moment in time to find out. But if it's the latter, maybe that these scenario's have the issue in common will shed a light, i dont actually have any background information at the moment (to see whether a light was already shed) because the Reddit link to which you referred isn't available due to "r/motorola is a private community" as a result of Reddit blackout (API protests), since Wayback archive doesn't have it either, maybe someone can just post it here instead?

Interesting, that would be quite bad.. for Motorola to release new devices that can't use a VPN, to then not fix it in a timely fashion (not at all so far). I wonder if others will confirm it, when it goes beyond converted Moto X40's and extends to stock versions of Edge 40 Pro / Edge+ (2023), thinking about how the issue can appear/not appear in different scenario's, as in the first portion of this post, would be unneccesary.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] EthanG01:
How reliable is this would I likely encounter issues using this phone in the U.K? The radio frequencies match my network providers for both 4G and 5G, so does that mean my SIM card will be detected? Thanks!

For the MotoFlashPro step would I need to select the flashfile.xml and flash after running the carrier config command?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] mxz55:
To get back on that, it's still not publicly accessible, really guys.. you would do me a huge favour to post the instructions, and whatever is in that link (if someone has access to the "private community r/motorola") to understand this issue. I really need to perform this VPN dialog workaround, but the information at

https://www.reddit.com/r/motorola/comments/zo38xu/_/j1u5t9l
is gated, and has been so for almost a month, with no end in sight.

Even if no one currently has access or a snapshot, is it really the case that also no one remembers what it's all about, or what to do?
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] mxz55:
As long you're tech savvy enough to successfully complete the conversion process, your Moto X40 will function just as the Motorola Edge 40 Pro would.. at the point you've got global ROM on it and the Chinese one off, there's no other difference (hardware is identical). So as expected, it will work just fine with all usual telecom providers in the EU. Same applies to what it will turn out like if you convert Moto X40 to Motorola Edge+ (2023), it will work just fine with all usual telecom providers in North American (US, Canada, etc) countries, for which that variant is made.
[Motorola Edge 40 Pro  / Moto X40 (China)] EthanG01:
