Hopefully someone with more knowledge or some developers wouldnt mind helping here.
I've rebranded using the method in my signature, which went perfectly, no issues, so now have the latest OS officially.
Went from:
L-09
782
110
To:
L-29
432
120
Currently on 152 which is fine.
But the problem is, when I install a treble ROM it reboots after around 6 - 9 minutes.
Now I'm aware that this affected a lot of people early on, but the reboot issue has now been fixed.
The only user I know who's got it working personally is @reppi
He has an official L-29 432 which he did not have to rebrand and his works perfectly with all the ROMs that reboot for me.
ROMs tested and confirmed working for him and not for me.
Omni ROM.
RR officlal
Havoc
My theory is it could be ramdisk or at the very least a part of what was changed.
I would prefer not to attempt to go back to L-09 for fear of bricking the phone.
Does anyone know what was changed that may be causing this?
Any help would benefit anyone who rebranded which according to the volume we've had in the thread in my signature would be quite a lot.
Things I've done to try to fix it.
Complete format of the phone via twrp.
eRecovery straight after
Flash from fastboot
Flash from fastboot without twrp.
Flash without G-Apps
Flash without magisk.
Flash on its own.
Flash with G-Apps and Magisk
All the above is with a full wipe per test, then again after a format of the phone and again after an eRecovery.
What works for the likes of Reppi is to simply perform a normal wipe from TWRP, dalvic and cache and then to install the ROM as instructed, usually against system as an IMG.
There isn't anything left to do with wipes, formats and what order, it must be something else.
One of the files i used when I rebranded must have caused it.
Any ideas?
Many thanks.
Hi there. I have the UK varient which is not the same as the us version. I'm looking for info regarding root and custom roms. All info I can find points toward the us (James) varient.
Any info or links greatly appreciated
ok so update, found this thread but not sure if the information is correct, thoughts or experiences please

That's my thread and yes the information is correct.
If you are not sure yourself that the information I have posted is correct, then I suggest you stop thinking about rooting your E5 or flashing custom ROMs.
You have to remember no one has tested the rooting/flashing procedures on PETTYL.
Everything that's listed here on XDA is designed for James/Nora/Hanna devices so no one has tested anything on our devices as it's newer and not many have it.
All the GSIs (custom ROMs) are only listed as working on the James/Nora/Hanna devices, there is currently no support offered for PETTYL, although technically they should work.
The devs of those other devices and the resources for them claim everything should work on our E5 as its treble compatible, but unfortunately that's not quite correct.
If you are really not sure about anything, or don't know if information is correct, you will have problems.
Im not being mean.....I really don't want anyone else to have the problems I have had and really wouldn't advise anyone to go through the process as it's fraught with issues, bad explanations and lacking important information.
Some files are incorrect for our device and some listed procedures for the other devices do not work on our E5.
BTW-my device is an E5 play XT1920-15 PETTYL SIM unlocked purchased from Argos.
Here's a list of the issue I found, it might be different for someone else as two people are saying they successfully rooted their PETTYL, and I couldn't.......
1. I had no issues unlocking the bootloader.
2. There are two versions of TWRP posted on XDA for PETTYL, but neither worked for me.
I used the James version.
3. I could not root my device.
Magisk installed but I could not get v17.3 or v17.2 to flash.
V17.1 did flash but magisk manager showed device not rooted and magisk not installed.
4. Flashing any GSI (Oreo or Pie) causes problems to the system sounds, ringtones, notification tones and music which is totally distorted and very poor quality.
The camera has very poor quality as well.
5. Lineage OS 15.1 is the GO version, you also should flash lineage before flashing other GSIs as you can't flash most GSis over stock.
6. You can use the full Google apps on a couple of android 9 gsis which makes your device a normal android, not an android Go device, but I would recommend not to bother with Android 9.0 GSis for this device as they are very buggy and very slow, and they use three times more battery than android 8.1 Go.
Also, live wallpaper and notification access still don't work on android 9.
Just remember as well the US E5 is much more powerful than our E5, and I assume thats why android 9 runs so crap on our E5.
7. You have a very complicated process to get your Google account working on any GSI, if you do it wrong, you will not be able to use your Google account at all and will get spammed with never ending notification from Google of using an "uncertified device"
8. If you run into problems and decided to return to stock, you cannot download the "retail_GB" stock firmware (SIM unlocked) for PETTYL unless you pay for it....the EE and Tesco SIM locked firmware is free to download, but neither work on the SIM unlocked version if you use non EE or non Tesco SIM cards.
9. Someone has posted a twrp back up of rooted stick for PETTYL.
It did not boot on my device and just kept boot looping.
That could have been a twrp issue and nothing to do with the shared back up - I couldn't get back into a gsi or stock to test it.
My post is warning to other PETTYL users- with my own experience.
What you choose to do is up to you but I really would not bother tampering with it, leave it be.
Stock android Go 8.1 is way better than anything else that's currently available for PETTYL right now, every gsi I tried had an issue of some description that affected performance so badly they were practically unusable.
Even though I'm back on stock now I still have sound issues, and many graphic glitches that makes my screen flash and glitch out randomly.
I'm sorry it's such a long reply, I wanted to give you as much information as possible so you have some idea of what's involved for our device., And let's just hope the situation for our device will get better soon.
Thanks for your detailed reply, I only asked if this was correct as I was aware of the differences between models etc.
I wouldnt say im new to rooting cfw etc, I have been flashing phones since 2002 lol.
But I dont want to brick this device as its currently my only phone, so I will wait and see if the situation improves in the future.
Its not a bad phone as it is you get quite a lot of phone for £65 nowadays.
Oh and im using simlocked tesco model so free to download, I find it stupid that you have to pay for stock firmware its beyond belief

Just like you, I've been rooting and flashing phones since like forever, and this device is the first I've ever had issues with.
It's entirety possible that as I'm a "noob" to flashing system images and fastboot flashing as apposed to flashing "ROMs" I may have messed up the procedures or made mistakes.
But not to be outdone, I have just before typing this reply tried again to root my E5 and flash a GSI, and again the process failed for me.
I could not boot into lineage OS 15.1 due to a "decryption error" and also couldn't get twrp to flash anything.
I've read now my issues are down to the DM Verity kernel which seems to be causing a lot of confusion amongst users and It now seems the process to remove forced encryption is what's causing all my issues.
I don't understand the process if I'm honest (it's an age thing lol) and worse, there is a lot of conflicting information, as a few people are saying the DM Verity process isn't necessary!!!
So unfortunately I've given up completely for now and stand by my original advice.
It's best to leave this particular device well alone until we have a proper procedure and tutorial in place for our own devices rather than trying to follow procedures for the US version.
I'm jealous though you only paid £65, as I paid £79.99, but I still think this Moto E is better than the Nokia 3 it replaced.
If any one can send me any issues they have with pettyl xt1920-15 rooting/twrp/etc I will try to test everything I can and see what works don't expect anything till January cause got college till the 23 and no time now

That's very generous of you.
Like you, I don't get much time (due to work) but I have two weeks off from 21/12 and can supply as much information as you want.
I would like root if it's possible.
If some can check this twrp in fast boot by booting it and tell me dose it work on thier phone i be thankfull https://github.com/TwrpBuilderTests...s/tag/TWRP-3.2.3-TwrpBuilder-2018-10-28_04-33

I have a "working" 3.2.3 version for PETTYL but I'm not sure it's the version you linked
The one I have "works" in that it boots to TWRP fine from fastboot but obviously it doesn't flash.
I can't flash GSIs through that version, where they do flash no problems through fastboot......
Finally, I can flash magisk through that as even though magisk flashes successfully, magisk manager shows magisk is not installed and asks to flash it again.
@plscotland
TWRP - won't flash to recovery partition.
Cannot mount vendor to flash Fstab
Magisk flashes but magisk manager shows not installed.
I tried the twrp I sent you and the James version.
Lineage - I can successfully flash and boot lineage over stock (Phhusson version) but I have issues with "device not certified by Google" and get spammed by constant notification from Google
Cannot use for daily driver due to no nav bar orfind any settings to enable nav bar.
Descendants 1.0.5 - I have successfully flashed and booted this "rom" and used it but the sound from system ringtones and notification tones is awful and distorted
Lots of graphical glitches and system UI has stopped errors
Pixel experience - cannot flash - error whilst flashing that system IMG is bigger than target.
If I wipe data, it just bootloops and won't go past splash screen.
Resurrection remix - cannot boot
Bootleggers 3.0 - cannot boot
Hope some of this information helps you.

Great, thanks
Qestion do u just want working magisek root on pettyl ?
There 2 ways
One download magisek manager
Get a twrp buckup of your boot image
Go to magisek manager choose patch boot image and choose your twrp buckup boot image (turn off compression of buckup when taking it ) after it finishes go find the patched boot image it should be in downloads or magisek folder can't remember then go to twrp and flash the patched boot image
/
Second way is to add the fstab or whater its called skip the adb mount part and only do the adb push part (look in tread for exact) https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e5/development/recovery-twrp-moto-e-5-play-james-t3796323 then flash the magisek 18.0 tell me did it work after. here the twrp that should work for every ones pettyl [ https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VsZRGkBujHay02a1M14eJM87H_RHFE9J/view?usp=drivesdk ] !Im not responsible if u brick your phone
!!try to boot twrp before u flash do fastboot boot (twrp image just drag the file to cmd to avoid path erors )

Yeah, Ive been skipping the mount vendor and pushing Fstab via ADB whilst in twrp.
I'll give this twrp a whirl later this evening when my kids laptop is available
I've bricked my E5 and cannot get past "decryption unsuccessful."
Stock/los15/any other gsi I tried.
Reflashed stick but getting errors flashing gpt.partition.
Everything else then shows errors after each command.
Twrp- i followed your 1st step with a magisk altered boot image.
Tried second step and that failed.
I had to combine both steps into one and twrp then booted and flashed successfully to the recovery partition.
Adb pushed fstab before flashing twrp to recovery but once rebooted to stock I got "decryption unsuccessful" error and got into a bootloop.
Reflashed stock then los15.1 but same again.
Reflashed stock but gpt partition and system sparsechunk.2, 3 and 4 give errors.
Cannot flash stock or gsi currently or reboot to recovery, just keeps going back to fastboot.

Unfortunately you can't downgrade android versions to 6 or 7, there's no system image / ROM on a lower android version for that device - but what you can do it's flash another GSi (ROM) to give you some usage back.
I also had the the XT1920 pettyl and android go is just awful, so I flashed several different roms to try.
The ones I got to work are
PHHussons lineage 15 (android Oreo)
ASOP 9 (android pie)
Pixel experience (pie)
Out of those lineage was the most stable.
You must remember pettyl only has 1gb ram, and does struggle with android 9 pie - but it does work without too many issues.
You got to learn a whole new process of unlocking the bootloader, flashing a custom recovery, disabling forced encryption and flashing a new ROM.
There are plenty of posts about roms for the E5 play in the threads here, I suggest you take a long read and don't try anything until you feel confident enough to begin because the process to flash roms on pettyl isn't very easy and is quite complex and complicated for a new inexperienced user.
It's quite easy to try that and completely mess up your device so it's unusable.
So, you MUST proceed with extreme caution, don't rush into anything without reading everything ten times, having a coffee and then reading it again another ten times.
Many users have tried to rush this process and then come here crying their phones don't work anymore - this happens because they've tried to rush the process, missed out steps and not read instructions properly........
Not being mean, but it happens all the time.
Edit
If you don't feel confident enough to flash a ROM (and no one will blame you if you don't) unfortunately all you can do is change the way you use your device.
I never noticed any music or you tube video freezing on my pettyl but how I used my device and how you use yours are probably very different.
You can't put lots of apps on android go devices, it doesn't like lots of apps.
You can disable most of the system / Google apps like playstore, Google play music and YouTube and install open source alternatives.
(For instance one plus music, you tube vanced and aurora store to name just three - just Google "disable system apps" or "replace Google apps")
I also tried a couple of launchers, and Librechair go edition or the android Go customised pixel launcher does make quite a significant difference to performance, depending on how much system stuff you disable and how many replacement apps you install.
Edit
I don't have my pettyl any longer so unfortunately that's the only help and advice I can offer you at this time.
Sorry.

thanks for the tips friend, i flashed some gases from android 9.0 and noticed that 90% of the performance improved which allowed me to played a little free fire lmfao so that unfortunately out of nowhere i faced some crashes and received the message from the user interface you are not responding, right now I am downloading the rom ressurrection remix oreo to see if it will work ... do you happen to know how to build a modified kernel?

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?

Phone works great with stock ROMs. I haven't tested out any custom ROMs, but I do have root on my REVVLRY.

Relocking Bootloader
Would I do the OEM lockbootloader command to lock it back
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!

Did you manage to restore it with firmware? Because I have a bootloop and I'm looking for a solution
quiet boy
I just solved the problem I had like 4 crazy hours with solve bootloop, the problem that I commanded automatic flash, not flashing the vendor partition and then flashed the manual vendor partition
mfastboot flash vendor vendor.img and ready
edit:
for users with Revvlry+ variant (XT1965-T) use this Flash.bat
[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?
As it is locked...

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.

I have the same problem. Can I fix it somehow?
I've gone back and forth between stock OneUI and GSIs. Recently, I returned to stock but am looking to go back to GSIs again.
When I last went back to stock, I used the latest firmware, WD2. My question is - does the latest version of TWRP for our device work properly with WD2?
As the latest TWRP version is WA3 I'm wondering if there are some compatibility issues such as non working touch screen that I'd like to be aware of before doing this process again.

Care to at least give a hint of what thread that's in?
Don't see anything in the TWRP one itself and the other threads are all unorganized conversations about TWRP, GSIs and system partitions

I've updated to CWD2, rooted and then flashed TWRP and LOS 20 GSI just to make sure it could be done. But I'm not going to re-post all the steps I took to do it. Yes, they are in separate threads because rooting, flashing TWRP and flashing GSI, are separate topics.

I don't need any instructions or further guidance on how to install TWRP as I've done it a number of times.
The only question I asked was if it worked, most notably touch as that may not always be functional when using a version of TWRP which is not the same as the firmware. A simple yes or no was the only thing I was seeking, nothing additional.
Once the newest version of LOS 20 has been released which has our Unisoc fix included, I'll find out myself once I go through this process again
