I got the T-mobile REVVLRY+ today, and naturally, I wanted to put the stock motorolla firmware on it. Partly to see if I could, partly to get rid of the T-Mobile bloat and see what Motorola features T-Mobile had removed.
Everything went swimmingly, I have PPW29.98-107 installed, I even have WIFI Calling. What I did lose, however, is VoLTE. I did use TWRP to perform a backup before flashing, so I tried restoring it to get a better look at how VoLTE works in the T-Mobile firmware. This is where things got hairy. I stupidly only backed up boot, system, and data. When I use TWRP to restore them, I get stuck in a boot loop. The built in boot loop fix in TWRP didn't help.
1. Any ideas on getting as close to stock as I can with only the boot, system, and data partitions?
2. Does anyone have access to a REVVLRY+ that would be willing to do a full backup that I may try to restore?
*Edit* SO I used the code *#*#4636#*#* and VoLTE provisioned is enabled, so maybe I do have VoLTE?
*Edit 2* Google Pay doesn't work, even after locking the bootloader. The device says that the operating system has been modified. Still trying to get it to restore.
FOUND IT!
I found a repo of firmware that has the TMO firmware! flashing now!
I can't share the external link yet.

Where did you find it at? I would like to know because I'm trying to port Lineage OS to this phone. However, once I unlock the bootloader, I won't have an OS to use for it and i'll be screwed.

HOW to
Hi, I just picked up the Revvlry+. Do you have step by step to install the Stock Moto firmware? I miss some of the features of the Moto. Also, was it easy to restore the TMO firmware just in case?
did you make any progress into the volte research? im on a unlocked xt1965-2 and using metro but i dont get volte in any of the stock roms or custom roms. i have tried flashing the modem from the stock tmo rom which didnt really do anything. i will probably try to flash the entire tmo rom tonight and see if it boots. im thinking if i get volte in the tmo rom and backup the persist, vendor and efs. then if i restore them onto a working cutom rom with volte enabled, volte should work.
i have also read about different scenarios in where you have to install workarounds to enable volte on treble roms. like installing the ims.apk to route the calls to volte and flashing a volte enabler to inject the correct files into the vendor partition.
my other device is a moto g5 plus which has numerous volte issues when switching between stock and custom roms or between different versions of android.
Did you use the Moto G7 Plus TWRP? I just picked up a Revvlry+ and I'm looking to root to install lawnchair or pixel launcher as a system app.
successfully unlocked the bootloader of my t-mobile revvlry which is a rebranded moto g7 i did it using this method but i'm going to be a little cautious on rooting unless i know it's safe and won't brick i could use some help with this https://www.androidinfotech.com/root-moto-g7-plus-pie/ i have the revvlry not the plus i want to try multirom installer and install ubuntu touch on it but i don't want to screw up my only phone but the only way i can try it is if i had root permissions to do so to install linux tried userland but i couldn't get unity desktop to work i'd rather have full root instead of fakeroot update: i was able to boot twrp before but now it doesn't work i think my firmware updated cause now when i run fastboot boot twrp.img nothing happens and i end up with remote failed reboot the phone and it goes directly to recovery with the only option is to do a factory reset

Are you saying with a Tmobile Revvlry, you were able to just go to the Motorola bootloader unlock page, paste your unlock codes, and presto as if it was just a normal Moto phone? If so, that is awesome!
I am thinking of swapping my Moto G7 Play with a Revvlry because of the 3gb RAM and NFC (the size of the G7 Play is perfect, I don't want to be forced to carry around a giant phone), but would love to flash the stock Moto G7 Play ROM over the Tmobile version. Not sure I'm willing to risk it, but if anyone has tried, I'd love to hear about it.
Logged into my account for this. Sorry if this is a little offtopic, but I want to see if this phone is compatible(or rather, how compatible it is) not only with Stock ROMs, but also with custom ROMs. For those REVVLRY owners, what have been your experience with this?

Can confirm flashing Moto g7 play firmware on T-Mobile revvlry. Caveat, you can no longer take OTA's and NFC is broken. Also can be bootloader unlocked through the Moto website.
Wouldn't you need to flash the G7 plus firmware for NFC to work?

That makes sense, the SD632 is NFC capable however I'm on the G7 play not the plus (I know, I know wrong forum)
I can't get the stock rom to work. It just bootloops every time. I tried all 3 versions. Any ideas?
Hey friends, would one of you kind sould who own the Revvlry+ be kind enough to post this Wallpaper?
Thanks in advance!

Don't you hate it when you flash something and it puts you in an unrecoverable state?
Does it aggravate you to no end when you flash something and then all you can do is go into bootloader and nothing else?
Well, have no fear Motorola Z2 Force users! Your issues will be resolved!
Reasons for using this method:
If you haphazardly flashed a ROM, and now can't boot.
If you tried flashing an audio mod and have issues getting things to work.
If you accidentally (or purposefully) deleted a file and now can't OTA.
Anything else that you can do to soft brick your device.
This zip will fix that and put you back to stock.
You then can update.
If you rooted and cannot update but want the update, this will make your phone clean to accept updates again.
Now, to the meat of this thread. In post two, there is flash all zips for each patch version and instructions on what to do. This does need an unlocked bootloader.

Great, So you've read why you might have borked your phone!
Now, let's get it fixed! Below is the link to the only flashall bat file I currently have. This is a simple process to do. There are some requirements though.
Requirements:
Correct drivers (ADB and fastboot is included in the utilities zip if you don't have minimal adb and fastboot installed, or don't have the SDK.)
Over 4GB of RAM.
How to fix your phone:
Download the Utilities zip
Extract the zip to it's own folder
Download the flash all for your device from the options below.
Extract the flash all zip into the same folder as the Utilities.
Run the Flashall.bat file
Watch windows command prompt put your phone back to stock!
This process can take up to 10-15 minutes depending on USB connection and your PC
Disclaimer: I did not personally test the zips below besides the Sprint and T-Mobile ones. These are the official Firmware links from the Motorola Firmware Team. My only contribution is this thread and the utilities zip.
Disclaimer 2: it is never suggested to flash a zip not intended for your device/major patch version. If you're on Oreo, DO NOT FLASH NOUGAT. (I flashed T-Mobile to my Sprint phone for testing purposes and so I can tell you what it does. I lost all sim functionality and had to do some wonky stuff to get my phone back to working shape... Word of advise: don't do it.)
Disclaimer 3: if you have minimal adb and fastboot or the Android SDK, please be sure you update to the latest fastboot. The exe files included in the zip are for those who don't have a development environment set up.
Downloads:
Flash All Utilities
AT&T Oreo Flash All
Sprint Oreo Flash All
T-Mobile Flash All (Not official download link, but official files, See here)
USC (check version) Flash All

NOTE: yes, it's in the Z2 play folder. Motorola Firmware Team did not make another folder for our device. Check the file name. It has "Nash" specifying the Z2 force. If you ask why it's in the Play folder, I will not respond.
If you have any other official links, I will add to second post and give proper credits to who found the zip. Only perm links like the AFH ones I posted.

That is a "permanent" flag that triggers when you flash something unsigned and not from Motorola. I.E. custom boot image for root. Reason it's in quotes is because we don't know how to return it back or if we even can.

A quick question sorry for newbie question in advance, I return to Motorola after a long years a lot changed
I got a Moto Z2 from a friend (he no have knowledge of rooting and modifying) which he got from his cousin in UK so when I got it seem it have a Tmobile sprint hybrid rom installed and google warning screen on the start, it is my guess it is Sprint's phone but I am not confirm.
XT-1789-03 is etched on the bottom near the and by search on google it is showing sprint so please if anyone can confirm -03 is sprint or not? imei is also showing the clean on the sprint site but it NOT definitely saying this phone is sprint.
Please someone tell me if I can flash this and get back to normal and get the OTA updates.

My Sprint model has the -03 identifier. You should be safe if the bootloader is unlocked. Needs that to flash this
AS OF RIGHT NOW THIS IS ONLY FOR T-MOBILE AND NOW SPRINT!
This is a stock rom for the retail brazil MotoZ(2) force ported over to our phone.
This is stock with only encryption and dm verity removed for support with twrp. (No more boot image including.)
Flashing instructions.
NOTE: CLEAN FLASH! This is a rom from another phone. I cant help you if you write me and say system fc's or any other fc's and you didnt clean flash.
1. Download rom and place it on sd card or internal.
2. Download oem.img and flash it (fastboot flash oem oem.img)
3. Reboot to recovery
2. Wipe system data cache.
3 Flash rom.
4. Reflash whatever root you had. (Magisk)
5. Profit.
As far as I know this does have all the latest fixings (KRACK,Bluebourne, ECT)
Includes VOLTE
Includes WIFI Calling
Usually all roms are pretty stable. IF there is any bugs post below and ill get to working on it.

Tested this on my Sprint phone and everything works just fine and with Pantheon, you will pass Safetynet if you flash the image in bootloader.
note: for Sprint users, we NEED to flash the oem.img to not have dialer issues, so I will stress, flash that oem image and if you don't want the bloat, you can delete everything but oem.prop from /oem folder through root or recovery's file manager after you mount OEM.
FLASH ALL
Flash all has been made this includes T-Mobiles Modem with stock everything else. you wont be able to take otas on it due to modified Modem. But updates for thes roms come a lot faster then ours so when one comes out ill update it. Please flash the latest twrp. This is going to encrypt you so your gonna have to format data in twrp and flash this Unencrypt Zip
This will format data. Treat it as a flash all to get back to stock also if you dont want tmobile bloat. This rom in it self with twrp will pass safetynet without magisk as long as you dont modify oem partition. Other then that happy flashing. Download for flash all is below

WiFi calling currently doesn't work for Sprint. Technical details: Sprint uses a different WiFi calling setup where a special Google dialer is in /oem to work. If you use this dialer or the included wifi dialer.jar file, it will just continuously FC and you can't do anything. To get Sprint models working we have to use the stock dialer which doesn't work with Sprint's WiFi calling. We will put a poll up to see interest in WiFi calling since this will take a bit of hackery to get working. I want to gauge interest before I take on this task.
My new T mobile Moto Z2 Force still has stock August image on it. I am waiting for my screen protector and case to arrive before I transfer my account to this phone. I am also waiting to unlock the bootloader and root the device.

Moto Z2 Force Edition - T-Mobile
Unlocked Bootloader
TWRP 3.2.0-0
I keep trying to flash this ROM, and have succeed in the flashing process. However, whenever I boot up, I get "TMOConfig has stopped" and then I can close it. I notice, that cellular data is not active. I continue through setup as normal until the Moto Permissions screen. When I try to go through this screen, whether I accept or decline, "com.motorola.tmo.setupext has stopped" comes up. The only option is to open app again and it takes me to the prior screen for Google setup and gets stuck in this loop until I restart the phone.
I've followed the instructions exactly MULTIPLE times just to verify I got it right. I'm clean flashing as well, so no it's not cuz of that. I've even redownload the files three times just to ensure it wasn't the result of possible file issues. Anyone else having this issue? I'd greatly appreciate a second pair of eyes on this!

To check this, go to TWRP and in the reboot menu it will tell you which slot you're on like the below screenshot of me on slot B
For sprint users, there is a poll to end on dec 8th asking if WiFi calling is a must for your rom. please answer it. I have tried a few methods but all fail. any further would require editing the framework.jar file in oem and some trickery that needs some serious coding done to work correctly. So I will take on the task if enough vote for it. (I do this in my free time for free and if not enough interest is given, I'd rather not waste the time as another update might break it, and it also takes me away from my EAS project which has a lot of interest.)

Okay so this is my first post so don't crucify me but I have a Moto e5 Plus (xt1924-8) on Boost Mobile. I currently have the stock rom on my phone as that has working data. Since this device launched with treble support, I figured I'd try flashing some GSIs. The one I had settled on was Resurrection Remix as it had the most working features. In the thread for the GSI https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e5/development/gsi-resurrection-remix-o-6-1-0-t3843928 it says that you should be able to flash on top of the stock rom. However, when I do that, everything works fine except for mobile data. I tried reflashing and editing APN settings all to no avail. It's not the modem firmware as I reflashed that as well. Can anyone tell me what I could try to get mobile data working in RR on the xt1924-8?
Also, I tried to get lineageOS as that might've been needed to get RIL working but I was unable to find one that works with the -8 variant. If someone could link to an image that would be nice.

I used the guide for the e5 play. Flash stock, erase data, cache and DDR. Boot, wait for encryption
Then boot twrp don't flash. Flash universal dm verity and encryption remover and then flash magisk 17.1.
That's how I recall it. Probably wrong. Check the thread for the e5 play. Use the difficult route. Sorry :/

Hey, do you have the method available for how you got root for the boost mobile variant?

The method that worked for me and my 2 Boost E5 Pluses was to:
Unlock boot loader through Motorola website
Reboot phone into bootloader
Fastboot boot into twrp (the boot image "twrp_james" worked for me)
While in twrp, do a backup onto microsd card.
Boot into android and install Magisk manager
Use Magisk to patch your boot.emmc file from your twrp backup
Find the patched-boot file that it output and copy to your pc
Reboot phone into bootloader
Flash the patched-boot file using fastboot flash boot (file name)
Reboot and enjoy ROOT!!!
Just fyi, I didn't do any dm-noverity kernel flashing or flashing twrp to recovery.

Also, I tried to get lineageOS as that might've been needed to get RIL working but I was unable to find one that works with the -8 variant. If someone could link to an image that would be nice.

Naw sorry dude. All the GSI's for lineage bootlooped or didn't have data. Just gave up and reflashed stock with magisk.
Try manually inputting stock apn in gsi

I'm assuming there's still no fix right I'm on lineage 15. and have no service for sprint same model
So I have a Moto E5 Plus (hannah) XT1924-8
and I'm in a jam.
I'm new to moto phones I just moved over to this phone 4 days ago from my HTC M9 yeah I have been a HTC guy for a long time.
My stock rom is fubar, when it boots up I get that encrypt storage thing & reset phone etc.... (no password box) but reset phone is not fixing it.
The boot loader is unlocked
& my twrp is on twrp-3.2.3-0-hannah.img got it from twrp.me
So my problem is that I want to re-flash my stock rom but "Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant" witch did worked 4 times this week but now does not want to work anymore.
It comes back at me with "this device is not supported" & that is not true.
So Now I can't get back to stock & I have not been able to get any custom rom to work me as well.
So my ?s to all of you:
Is there some kind of fix for the "Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant"?
and if not then where do I get a copy of the stock rom & some info on how I should go about installing it
and yes I have the newest adb all installed & I think I have the right driver installed "Motorola_Mobile_Drivers_64bit_v6.4.0.msi" Motorola ADB Interface 7/7/2013 v2.0.2.0
Any help will be much appreciated
Also is the phone default encryption getting in the way of me installing Lineage 15.1 or Bootleggers ??
When ever I try to installing a custom rom I get the dreaded 'To Start Android, Enter Password'
also in twrp /data does not mount when ever I booted into twrp, I had to change the format from ext4 to exfat & then change it back to ext4, from that point on it mounts no problem.
My HTC m9 phone did not have encryption on so I'm not use to working around it.
Well I'm going to return this thing & stay with my HTC m9 with only a 10% working battery.
It seems that no one is going to help me.??
there might be reasons why people wouldn't respond
1. this board isn't active like you'd expect it to be
2. there's already threads out there to save yourself from this
anyway, on twrp, you'd need to FORMAT data to have it de-encrypted... and you'd need to flash a certain boot image that prevents it from auto-encrypting, which is in one of the threads. you'd also never would want to use the smart assistant, because as you can see, it won't work. i don't know if there's a stock rom for your variant, so i can't really link you to yours, but getting it from the moto assistant isn't ideal, it's better to get it from here on the forums or something.
so, in order to install a custom rom, flash the boot.img that doesn't have encrypt, and then flash the gsi system image, and then flash magisk in twrp.
There should already be a thread with the xt1924-8 stock firmware in here somewhere just gotta search. If not I'd suggest trying to re-flash the stock recovery and boot images if you have those and then just try to do a recovery from within.
well I already returned it.
I did read many many many guides on here & on other websites before asking for help.
most of them did not say anything about the book.img to turn off the auto-encrypting.
again I never had to work around auto-encrypt before.
Also @wihzard
I did look for a stock rom for (hannah) XT1924-8 but did not find it.
anyways I returned it & now I'm looking for a unused M9 to replace my old one,
I will end up putting LineageOS 16.0 on it.
Thanks for replying
my moto e5 plus is bricked im pretty sure ...any help anyone?

I need help as well haven't had much time to get on here and try to get help. I have the XT1924-7 varriant. I had discovered a hidden network that was placed on there by an ex to track me. So I factory reset I had AEX pie installed on it. Come to find out factory reset didn't even get ride of had to follow some extra steps to erase partitions that weren't wiped during the reset with TWRP. So my problem is once booted and going through setup process these pop up start popping up(screen shots below)the first is the modem keeps stopping. I get that about 25 times of hitting ok then I get one last one stating internal error need to factory reset. IVE DONE THAT COMPLETELY DELETED IT ALL RESTORED ALL. I've flashed NON-HLOS alone withe the erase modem 1&2. And still I've done diffent methods of trying to restore and get nowhere. Any help would be appreciated
[Important] Read this before FLASHING/Updating to Stock PIE 9 {SPRINT,TMO AT&T ETC}
Mates! for newbies specially Sprint,TMO and Atn&t users I know you are sad to hear that you won't get stock Pie update and you have been watching threads here on XDA showing how to flash captured Stock Pie of Verizon/Brazil variant on your Sprint ,at&t TMO variants this very important to know that DO NOT UPDATE/FLASH 9.0 Pie update of Verizon/Brazil variants. Otherwise you will loose your IMEI, Baseband N, modem. AND definitely NO WIFI and there is turning back
That update only works for Verizon/brazil variant devices which are getting updates by Motorola it's not for sprint at&t tmo etc THIS ONLY WORKS FOR VARIANTS WHICH ARE ANNOUNCED BY MOTO.
Reasons: when you flash stock pie your Oreo modem is replaced with Pie modem which doesn't matches to your variant which results in loosing of imei,base band and wifi.
Even if you try to flash back oreo with a clean flash you may be able to use your stock oreo but due to pie modem you won't be able to downgrade to your oreo modem and in result your imei baseband will still be gone with pie and there is no solution haven't been found yet.
Please if you really want to use pie there are other custom roms like Dirty Unicorns, CR Droid,Havoc and Lineage OS use them till the developers found an solution for this problem. Thank you!
just don't flash modem,see no problems.sprint - pie
Can at&t ariants flash it?

Considering that I've tried to flash the Verizon Pie Image on my Z2 force, and nearly made it useless, how did you do yours? Flashing the Indian Variant?

So.....you flashed everything but the modem files and everything works for Sprint? I'd assume you didn't flash the bootloader?
Basically want to know which files you flashed and what issues you've seen if any. Much appreciated ??

work fine for me. some bugs with wifi (quick connect disconect sometimes)
battery better. twrp * magisk + gpay ) gcam last works perfect. motocamera & motoprojector ? moto verve buds work
Just came to me....there might be a way to revert back firmware. Way back in 3vo 3d days there was a Boost mobile update that had a newer Android version then what the Sprint people got. So many of us flashed it and had problems. And couldn't revert back.
The best kernel dev I've seen to date (name cannot be given due to settlement between him an xda) found he could hex edit the previous bootloaders version number to be post the Boost version, which then allowed it to flash. And we could then revert back to the Sprint firmware/ROM. I don't know how Moto checks or limits firmware flashing, but just an idea?
I have same problem but i had Lineage OS Backup and flashed it. Now I have normal Lineage OS on Partition B and Lineage OS with Problem on Partition A. (Official Rom only uses A partition, Lineage OS supports A/B partition update). I don't know if there is any way to copy B partition IMEI and Baseband on Partition A.
