@ph4n70m-404 , is signature spoofing enabled for MicroG? Also is it patched for proper TTS functioning?
One more thing, can this be flashed on stock 11 base or like all the others on stock 10?

No mostly because on telegram there is already Lineage Foss builds (but i might make a magisk module to apply the patch), probably not because no one has brought that edit to my attention, no you must flash it ontop of android 10.
Fantastic thanks for the work on this!
Can confirm working on my moto g power (2020) with Magisk.
Some notes I took that might help others:
Spoiler: instructions
Note: I don't guarantee that my notes give the fastest or best way of installing this ROM! I'm just including these instructions because they detail one working way of doing this. Use at your own risk!
You have two ways to flash, using fastboot (where you need to download lineage-18.1-20211010-UNOFFICIAL-FASTBOOTD-sofiar.zip) or sideloading with TWRP (where you need to download lineage-18.1-20211010-UNOFFICIAL-sofiar.zip). Probably use the newest version (the datestamp in the filename should be the latest). I chose to sideload with TWRP. Since I also wanted magisk (root) I also ended up needing to download lineage-18.1-20211010-UNOFFICIAL-sofiar.zip anyway to flash boot.img, which it contains (see below).
The main instructions I used can be found here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/channel/install
1 - I flashed the linked TWRP to temporary recovery by fastboot flashing to boot_a and boot_b. Upon reboot to recovery it would first reboot to android recovery (pic of dead droid with red exclamation point) and hang. I needed to press the power button until that screen disappeared. It would then reboot into TWRP.
2 - I sideloaded lineage-18.1-20211010-UNOFFICIAL-sofiar.zip using TWRP (Advanced->ADB Sideload) after reverting to factory (i.e. clearing data and cache)
3 - reboot into system and Lineage18.1 will load (first boot takes a while with the loading screen)
4 - I wanted magisk (follow the instructions at https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html) so I installed the Magisk apk and then used its app to flash the boot.img in lineage-18.1-20211010-UNOFFICIAL-FASTBOOTD-sofiar.zip, then transferred that back to my PC ('adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched_[random_strings].img')
5 - then 'adb reboot fastboot' will take you to fastbootd (this is different from fastboot, although you can probably also use fastboot) where you can run 'fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched.img'
6 - reboot and done
** In the process of figuring this out I got caught in some softlocks and bootloops. Just turn off the phone and turn it back on holding the down-volume with power to get into fastboot, then restart at step 1. I think this happens sometimes when A/B conflict arises, I'm not sure...
EDIT: @ehidle reminded me that there are some steps before flashing I didn't mention:
You need to first unlock your bootloader. Follow

Addendum: Updating with new release
Just upgraded to the Nov 8th release from the October one. Worked seamlessly! A few notes:
1-You can find the updater at Settings->System->Advanced->Updater. Refresh and then click on the release you want to download. It will download and prepare the image.
2- Once it says it is done, you can reboot to TWRP (which for me isn't permanent so I had to reflash that into boot_a and boot_b as explained above in my first instructions) and "Install" the updated lineage image zip (i.e. flash the ROM) you downloaded. Note: I found the zip in /data/lineageos_updates not in /data/ota_package as indicated by @ph4n70m-404 in the original post.
3- Reboot and you're done. Everything will be saved as before except magisk root will be gone if you had it before. The magisk app will still be there.
4- (Optional to get back root). Repeat the same steps as above in my first instructions to get back root. i.e. download the FASTBOOT version of the corresponding new release (ROM Download) and unzip and transfer boot.img to your phone and patch it with the magisk app, and finally reboot to TWRP and flash boot with this patched magisk_patched*.img (or alternately return to fastboot and 'fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched.img).
was able to flash the rom fine (used fastbootd version, flashed boot, product, system, vbmeta imgs (in that order) then switched from fastbootd to regular fastboot to do "fastboot -w") but my Sprint LTE internet is not working. it just says 1X or 3G, but there will never be a connection. SMS messages and calls still work. here's my "fastboot getvar all" output after installing patched boot.img from magisk:

Unlocking the bootloader is a given, you will also need to downgrade back to stock a10.

That's what I figured but it was not listed in the instructions.
Help me out though since I'm not up on all the lingo. Downgrade to stock A10? What does this mean exactly?

@rightonyourtail. I just found this today. I'm currently using @Beetle84's Havoc 4.8 on my Moto G8 Power 2020 (Sofia), but my battery charge is only lasting about a day. I'm very familiar with LOS and I'm running followmsi's LOS 18.1 on my ancient Galaxy Note 4 Snapdragon, and my 3 Nexus 7 2013 deb (4G/LTE) tablets. Do you think this ROM will increase my battery life, and do I need to do something special considering that I'm already running @Beetle84's Havoc 4.8? I look forward to flashing this ROM pursuant to your useful notes.
Thanks
whenever i try to adb sideload the non fastbootd one i just get a boot loop with the lineage os boot screen with the circle going across the screen. anyone able to help me figure that out?

I don't have any familiarity with Havoc. I can only say that I regularly get >3 days of battery life with LOS but with heavy video streaming it can get down to one day.
If you decide to try LOS, you'll need to flash stock Android 10 on the device with Havoc first.

I assume you've waited over, say 5 minutes (or maybe 10-20 min to be sure)? If so, you might want to try again but first wipe data, system, cache, and dalvik cache in TWRP.

This brings up a question I've wondered about: We know that if you're running stock A11, you must downgrade to A10 before installing a custom A11 ROM. But is that required when switching from a custom A11 to a different custom A11?
I went straight from OEM A10 to a custom ROM and have switched among a handful without the downgrade (most recently from Beetle's Havoc to Arrow) with no discernable issues. BTW I've always installed via the fastbootd files.

Hello-
Here is the fast version:
HTC One GPE with stock JB rom and clockwork mod recovery.
Last night I flashed the recovery to a stock version I found on the boards here. This morning the most recent JB update was ready for installation on the phone. A while after that KitKat was ready and I installed. As soon as I did, the phone entered a boot loop and will not stay on. I've cleared the cache and factory reset with no luck. A kind individual on another thread attempted to help resolve the issue but no such luck.
I tried reinstalling 4.4 (having to relock my bootloader was the only way I could successfully attempt reloading, but it did not work. S-off is ON.
Now, I cannot enter a custom recovery (nor a recovery of any kind at this moment). Any time I select recovery it just reboots the phone.
Here are previous errors I received while attempting fastboot flash:

I use the command "fastboot oem lock" and "fastboot oem unlock" to lock and unlock the device (since it's google play edition), unless that is for unlocking something else besides the bootloader.
I cannot open the recovery so I don't know what is on there. I've loaded TWRP with fastboot but every time I select recovery from the menu on the phone it reboots the phone.
Here is what I get when I search for the phone. I assume the adb is not seeing it since I have not set up the phone for that option?

Can you download either CWM or TWRP and try the following from bootloader:

I have cleared the cache before and after loading the custom recovery. and I loaded the CWR recovery. Still will not load into recovery. Just turns off and boots to Google.
i was able to successfully re-load the stock recovery. Any suggestions from this point?
How? What recovery did you use?
Go to bootloader and a do a factory reset from bootloader, it should boot into stock recovery and wipe , (should not just get kicked out right away)
What's the result after doing this.?

I cannot recall the exact one. It is the same one I installed last night before this morning's update.
I did the wipe and loaded into bootloader. Rebooted the phone and is now in a boot loop.
Hi @The_Doctor_Who here's what I would recommend:
- fastboot oem unlock (if not already in the unlocked state)
- download the latest official ClockworkMod touch recovery for m7ul directly from here: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-m7ul.img
- fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.3-m7ul.img
Note the use of 'boot' instead of 'flash' for the last command... let's narrow this down and see if you can just boot a well-known/official recovery for this model without flashing anything. Sorry if these steps seem repetitive at this point, but it's a little hard to know what all has been done.

Hey! Thank!
I understand re: not knowing. I've tried using that recovery and cannot get into it. I also tried the fastboot boot and it froze the phone (someone motioned HTC removed the ability to use 'boot' with the hboot 1.54). I tried leting the phone sit in the frozen state but it would not do anything.

I see. Do I understand the the sequence of events correctly:
- you flashed a stock JB ROM
- then flashed the stock recovery (which file exactly? was it for m7ul?)
- the phone booted okay at this point and prompted you for 2 over-the-air system updates:
= an update for JB
= an update to KitKat
- things broke at this point?

Do you have a link for that thread handy? I wonder if it's trivial or not to downgrade the radio (HBOOT)... I haven't tried before.

I will have to find the file. I believe it was. It was indicated that the stock recovery was from the GPE One.
- the phone booted okay at this point and prompted you for 2 over-the-air system updates:

The update for JB was fine. I was checking twitter, facebook, etc. Then the KitKat update came in. I selected download and install and that is where the problem started.

From what I have seen downgrading is not an option, but I could be wrong.
@The_Doctor_Who thanks for the link. It doesn't specifically say you can't use 'fastboot boot' on the GPE version of HBOOT. I'm pretty sure you can (assuming things are working otherwise). At least, I had a version of the 1.54 HBOOT on m7ul which didn't seem to have this restriction... I don't know the exact version number unfortunately.
That aside, it does seem that the recovery partition may be corrupted or in a bad state somehow. I'm going to reply on the other thread since those guys seem to have some good info and have been super helpful. I have a couple of ideas I'll post there.
At this point what I would recommend is to use the factory images for it and attempt to restore it to full stock before trying to go any further.
MODS PLEASE DELETE , cant find solution , thanks anyway
Im a dare to start my own thread to see if i can solve my problem, anyway, i own a xt1063 in wich i unlocked the bootloader in order to install lollipop and root, i have done this in the past with 3 xt1064's with no problem, however im facing a weird problem this time. So after i installed lollipop rom RETUGLB_XT1063_5.0.2_LXB22.46-28_cid9_CFC.xml via fasboot,everything went smooth as always, the phone boots up but after the world and blue m animation the phone goes into a blank (or black) screen and stays there and it goes no further than that, ive waited 20 plus minutes and nothing happens,i know the phone is on because i can see the screen its a bit bright but black, so i went to the original recovery and did a factory reset wich went nice, reboot and same result, so i instaled twrp via the Moto-G-2014-ToolKit-stable i found here, and booted the twrp recovery, wiped davilk cache,cache and after rebooting i got the same result. One thing i notice is, if i want to erase cache via stock recovery, the phone reboots inmediatly as if something went wrong, i twrp i get an error, trying to install the titan rom [ROM][5.0.2][titan][XT1063/64]The Titan Prime ROM[FEB 1](Version 1.1.2 RC) gives me a bunch of errors and nothing happens. Other thing i notice is that if i boot in twrp and mount the usb storage, i get terrible transfer rate speed, also if i copy something,lets say a rom, i can install such rom but once i restart and boot into twrp and mount the usb again, is like nothing was transfered, thres no rom in there, like if it wipes it self . Dont know what ealse to do, wonder if the cache partition its corrupted and dosnt let the phone fully start. Thanks for any help provided, and pardon my bad grammar, english its my second lenguage...
edited to add more details:
Everytime i try to lock the bootloader i get diferent mesages, but it nevers locks the bootloader.
or if i run the boot logo fix, the tool succesfully does the job as i can tell in the command window, but when i reboot i still get the warning logo as if nothing happened.

Have you tried to flash any stock firmware with fastboot?

Yes, kk 4.4.4 or lollipop 5.0.2 , no go , both gave the same result.
I wonder if theres a way to install a rom,at the same time wipe all the estructure inside the phone, can that be achieved via adb perhaps? as fastboot seems a bit limited. anyway heres a video that shows how the phone boots to a blank screen on a clean fasboot instaled 5.0.2 stock rom www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8CgqNOp-_g
and this is what happens if i try to clean cache with recovery
www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBivRORNH1I
Try things like "fastboot erase cache", "fastboot erase data(/system etc.)".
But it doesn't look good.

tried too,was a no go.... dont no what ealse to try, i pretty much done everything
another update while someone steps up and helps.
My phone looks like its write protected, but i can install any recovery i want and boot it. so if i install twrp i can boot to it, if i mount the usb system i can copy files to it, but as soon as i reboot, the files get deleted by magic... so next thing i tried, install stock kk 4 or lollipop via stock recover and sideload adb, i get a fingerprint error message, package expects build fingerprint of motorola/titan_retuglb/titan_umts:4.4.4/KXB/21.85-17/14:user/release , but after that i flashed KK rom via fastboot, all goes well , so i reboot and start recovery and tried to install lollipop via adb side load and i get a fingerprint message again, and dont mater how many roms i flash via fasboot and they look like they installed ok, if i restart stock recovery and try to update with any rom , i get this message,
package expects build fingerprint of motorola/titan_retuglb/titan_umts:4.4.4/KXB/21.85-17/14:user/release-keys or motorola/titan_retuglb/titan_umts:5.0/LXB22.39-6/6:user/release-keys; this device has motorola/titan_retuglb/titan_umts:4.4.4/KXB23/25:u
instalation aborted.
even after flashing lollipop, system says device has KK ,wich lead me to think its been wirte protected.
will keep looking and hope for some smart help, thanks.
please help anyone

Hi.
I have black screen after motorola moto g animation (I can see some light, but blank screen).
I can enter on fastboot mode and have the bootloader unlocked. . I tried to reflash the firmware but i have still the same error.
I tried to downgrade from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 but I can't do it, it displays this error:
"C:\A>mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
target max-sparse-size: 256MB

I tried a lot of procedures searching my problem in google, but noone works.
Maybe is a wrong firmware image? can you help me with the correct image or solving the issue?

Very thanks guys. :crying:
If you are trying to downgrade from 5.x/6.x to 4.4, remember you do not flash .mbn file. Flashing .mbn will attempt to downgrade your bootloader and might corrupt it, as bootloader downgrade is not supported/advised. I suggest you flash 5.x stock firmware WITH .mbn file and this should solve your problem.
Try firmware from this thread:

That's what I am saying, flash stock Lollipop, it will restore your bootloader and recovery (if any changes were made during downgrade), and then flash recovery.

You can try to boot into twrp, you have to use the 2.8.5.0 version, newer ones will fail.

Hi Wolfcity, thanks for your support.
I installed twrp 2.8.5.0 version as you told me. I'm still with the same problem. When I installer the twrp recovery it will boot from stock recovery. If I manually boot from trwp it will stuck on the Teawin logo.
I installed this iso -> https://dl.twrp.me/titan/twrp-2.8.5.0-titan.img

You say your bootloader is possibly corrupt, that would be a result of a bad mbn flash in your phones bootloader. Explain to me exactly how you performed the .mbn flashing process so I may formulate a solution. Thanks

Can't believe it can't be solved!!
I have a great commitment with this smartphone
go to service center dont mention about ur bootloader unlocked just told them u face this screen at the time of update .dont touch anything else just submit your handset
hi, this phone was rooted and still says unlocked, I have done everything from factory reset, clearing cache, wiping, recovery. nothing works it just simply restarts on to the red triangle.. please can you help me get this phone back up and running I don't know what else to do
A red triangle means no OS loaded in device, make sure you have 100% battery before doing anything, if unsure how much battery exists, leave device on charge for 2 hours.
If it keeps on rebooting it is also possible to be stuck in a bootloop, this wjll need reflashing boot but this cannot be determined until an OS if flashed.
As its unlocked you can flash Stock Nandroid or CM13 or CM14 (LOS)
To find a proper stock Nandrood you need to post getvarall info here without the IMEI
ive never flashed a android device before how do i do that?
i have SDK as i have the full android studios software.
i downloaded adb as well.
but that is as far as ive got

Turn off device, keep vol down key pressed and prews power key, you will enter bootloader, then select fastboot via vol keys and press power key to enter fastboot.
Now connect device to PC and follow this to getvarall.
http://droider.eu/2013/10/28/using-...to-get-more-information-about-your-htc-phone/
Paste your result here WITHOUT IMEI.
What recovery do you have stock or TWRP ?
no recovery option it just reboots non stop, but before it did any of this it was twrp

That means its a bootloop, I will still need device getvarall info to provide the appropriate file, however considering your scenario, can i know where did you buy the device from and is it network locked ?
This is an international device boot file, you can try and flash this file and let me know, chances are with TWRP boot flash will fail as the boot file is atock and to flash it all device must be stock, but you have to try to know for sure.
REMEMBER AGAIN IF THE DEVICE IS LOW ON CHARGE IT COULD DIE MIDWAY, IF IT DIES MIDWAY THE DEVICE WILL BE IN A PERMANENT BRICKED STATE.

Now I see that you have an Orange device, no nandroid stock is available, you can choose to install CM13 or CM14 links given earlier. CM13 is old and has many bugs fixed, CM14 is new, while I dont have any issues with CM14, there are some reported issues in its thread, make sure to choose which you like after reading through the threads.
What you will need to do is download the rom and place it in SDcard, then enter recovery and choose install and wait till it finishes, reboot and you are good to go, after install make sure to clear cache and dalvik, if install fails then you will need to upgrade twrp to latest version for one mini 2, ver 3.0.2.
Also note that first boot takes quite some time, around 5 mins or so.
YOUR IMEI AND SERIAL IS VISIBLE IN YOUR REPLY, REMOVE IT.
If ou want to go full stock, you can flash this Orange UK ROM or Orange FRANCE rom.
I dont know which country your device from is so I have provided both but I believe your is a UK device thus first try that, cidnum ending 001 are mostly UK.
To flash stock you will have to flash stock recovery snd then install using method explained here
Let me know how it went.
Thats about it.
i have tried the cm13 but i get an error when trying to flash it, im doing the adb sideload way. so imm going to try cm14 los one
alli get is error executing updater binary in zip
cant seem to find the lkatest ersion for twrp/img their just all apps or apk
i tried the stock way, but as soon as i flashed the original rom recovery it said the file size was to big so im really stuck nnow
ok somehow i used a rom utility which failed but it somehow reset the phone back to the cracked version...how do i now get it to the stock version?

Latest TWRP version for CM14 https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-unofficial-htc-t3555343
Stock Recovery, you can try but again this is for International Devices : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24651430732234876
Method to flash :
PROCESS
Enter bootloader and then enter fastboot, connect phone to PC and type the command in adb ( place recovery file in adb folder) :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <file-name>.img
fastboot erase cache
To flash stock rom you will need stock recovery and relock bootloader, the stock recovery which is unfortunately unavailable, I believe nobody has posted stock recovery for Orange so you will have to follow method links provided for CM14 through TWRP.
So now you flash twrp, place cm14 rom in sdcard, enter recovery from bootloader, choose install, locate cm14 downloaded file and swipe to flash.
Cracked version ?
i have the cracked version i just want the originally can i not get it back to stock through restore?

Can you explain what do you mean cracked version ?
Leave the device on charge for 2 hours and I mean electrical charge and NOT USB to PC charge.
I already provided you everything, are you following instructions as supplied ?
Have you updated TWRP to version 3.0.2 ?
On which file flash are you receiving updater binary error, CM13 or CM14 ?
Have tried to flash stock recovery provided ?
You are not providing enough information for me to understand.

ok at the moment my phone is running a rooted version, however, im not too sure which one, it may have cm13.
the phone has twrp - not 3.0.2
I tried earlier to get everything back to stock as I have the stock file for the device and i have a boot file too.
but when I tried flashing the original file it just said the file size was too large.
so I was wondering since i have the original stock file on my pc is there any way to revert the htc mini 2 back to original OEM through twrp or some other way like adb sideload?
There's a really good thread currently in this forum that has the basics for going back to stock ROM, but recently more and more people have followed it WITHOUT reading through all 60+ pages (Don't blame them) and end up with a phone that is not working properly.
This thread aims to provide the most up-to-date stock ROM links, the most current way of restoring your stock ROM, and also clear up some misconceptions about what is required for OTA compatiblity, etc.
First, a few misconceptions:
Q: Do I need to have a locked bootloader in order to get OTAs?
A: NO! You just need a fully stock system image, recovery image, bootloader image, logo.bin, and OEM partition. This means you can have your bootloader unlocked and still take OTAs. The OTA script doesn't check for that, and the OTA tool built into the phone does not check either. HOWEVER, you do need to have matching firmware, bootloader, etc to whatever version you are currently running. If you flashed a custom ROM when you were running June 1 2018 security patch, but then restore back to stock using December 1 2017 security patch, you won't get OTAs via the phone. (You can use the offline OTA download tool to sideload them just fine however)
Q: I can just flash whatever firmware I find as long as the numbers are bigger than what is currently on there, right?
A: NO! This is what a lot of people in the other thread are doing and it's screwing up phones! This thread is here to help clear up that confusion! You MUST flash the correct region for your firmware. There are FOUR kinds of Moto G5S+. All have their own model number and region. Mine is an XT1806 RETUS device. It was sold in the United States. You may have a RETIN, RETLA, RETEU, RETID or some other variant. Flashing RETIN firmware on a RETUS device will mean you won't get OTA updates. Same with flashing RETUS firmware on a RETEU device. It won't even take sideloaded OTAs since your device doesn't match anything Motorola\Lenovo ever sold.
Q: I made a backup of my device with TWRP before rooting, I'm good, right?
A: maybe. I've found that all current versions of TWRP (R20, R22, Treble-Test) do not back up the OEM partition properly. I haven't tried all the builds so far, but all the ones I've tried mount OEM as R\W which breaks OTA, even after a restore via TWRP. (The R22 seems to touch it no matter what on booting TWRP so you'll need to reflash it via Fastboot from a stock image file in order to take OTAs, or use R20 which didn't touch it unless you tried to restore a backup)
Q: I skipped all the above and flashed wrong firmware from the links below, locked my bootloader, and now nothing works.
A: Don't skip the notes next time. See if you can get an unlock code and try again.
Q: I don't know what kind of phone I have?
A: Put the device in fastboot mode (Can either do ADB reboot bootloader, or hold the Volume Down button while turning it on) and on a computer with ADB and Fastboot installed type
Code:
fastboot devices
If you get an output that matches the serial of your phone, type
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Copy that, paste it into a .txt file and upload it here, share it to pastebin, post it here in the CODE tags, just share it so we can see what version your device is and point you in the right direction. Better to do it once than twice, right? It's suggested you read through it and remove your devices IMEI (and serial number if you'd like) for security reasons. I've yet to see anything practical happen to publicly posted IMEI numbers but you never know.
Right, now for the meat of the tutorial.
1: BACKUP YOUR ENTIRE DEVICE USING TWRP. Save that backup. If you don't care about your data, don't back that up, but back up everything. You'll need to back up to something that supports larger than 4GB files (So not FAT32, I believe TWRP supports NTFS, internal storage works too if you've got ~12gb free, USB OTG works). It's best to do this just in case something goes crazy wrong you still have a backup. If you don't backup and then something goes wrong, it's not my fault.
2: Grab the latest firmware for your device so that you know for a fact that it's updating ALL bits of the device. As of this writing (September 4th, 2018) it is June 1 2018 security patch. The links below have the firmware for the 4 major regions: RETEU, RETIN, RETBR, and RETUS
FOR RETEU, RETIN, RETBR, use this link.
For RETUS, use this link.
Once newer full firmware files are available, I will update links accordingly.
3: Install Minimal ADB & Fastboot. This is required to run the fastboot getvar all command, and is required to flash stock firmware.
4: Extract the stock firmware .zip file into the ADB & fastboot directory for ease of use.
5: Run these commands: PLEASE NOTE RUNNING THESE COMMANDS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA FROM YOUR DEVICE. Backup EVERYTHING. Even your pictures & whatnot. Remove your SD card if you're super worried. This will return the device to a completely factory reset device. No pictures, no SMS messages, nothing survives this. Please understand this. If you're running modded stock and want to keep your data, omit the fastboot erase userdata line. these commands will NOT wipe your modem. You will still have an IMEI after. you'll need to follow the tutorial on making sure your persist is intact to get VOLTE working and other issues fixed with your persist & IMEI should you notice issues after flashing.

Let your device boot. enjoy the obxnoious Lenovo boot splash they created just to terrify you in the middle of the night when your phone reboots for no reason. If it all went well, your device should reboot to a stock Android 7.1.1 June 1 2018 build.
If you have issues, please share them so we can make sure nobody else gets stuck on the wrong firmware with bad information.
Im on june security patch, iwant to use soak test but my phone cant get the notification update after flash back to april security patch, and a failed flash of bootloader..

I think it would be useful to have a procedure to check the status of the OEM partition. And the precedure to set the correct permissions. Can you add it to the 1st post?

To be able to get OTAs, if the only problem is the state of OEM partition (on an otherwise stock system), I think we can just flash the OEM partition on fastboot and have a proper system to receive OTAs. Am I right? This would be much simpler than downloading a 1.7 GB file and flashing an entire system.

I'm not sure how to check besides running the OTA. If it errors out almost immediately after starting then you can view the log in stock recovery and see if it errors on the OTA partition. It's a rather obvious warning at the end of the log.

If you're running completely stock, not rooted, etc, then you can just go and flash OTAs. If you've rooted, you can probably just flash recovery, boot, and OEM and it should just take. You don't need to flash System unless you've modified it (If you're using magisk you shouldn't be modifying System)

Was soak test sent to you from Motorola?
Try the Motorola offline tool linked above. Use the manual settings instead of the auto ones. It may get you the OTA to sideload.

your ro.carrier: says RETCL which is one I haven't seen yet (I also haven't come across an XT1800 before). The Internet says it should be a Latin America variant but I am not 100% certain if the firmware file for RETLA would flash on your device. If you are already running stock, I would not suggest flashing it. I'll see if I can find more information for you on this model to help make sure we can get you the correct firmware.

That person doesn't say running a Latin America device or his model number or his software channel. He only says "I'm from Latin America".
Most probably has a european model and is thinking the OTA updates are received depending on the region you use your phone. Just a guess.

Hi pizzaboy192 and Don DD. Thanks for the fast answers.
I already installed some roms on my cellphone and of course I wanted to go back to stock. Actually idk if I flashed the correct file the last week. It was
Code:
SANDERS_NPS26.116-61_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Which seems to run ok on my cellphone, but I'm not sure if is the correct stock rom.
Just in case, I have a XT1800 model and I'm from Latin America (Chile)
Oh, and just in case, I already tried RETBR... don't do it, doesn't works.

You've installed the India variant. I'll see if I can find links to RETLA since I know I've seen them in the past. They may not be June 1st but at least newer and should allow OTA
Firstly, this is a great tutorial. No rubbish, no jabbering on, just the pure meat.
Can you link the retGB firmware for June 1? I want to be able to upgrade to Oreo by the time it comes out, and I have some other issues I need to fix.

I'll see what I can find. Motorola kinda sucks about getting the latest firmware but I'm trying to build a list of all firmware variants even if they're not june 1 that we can then OTA to latest.

You've installed the India variant. I'll see if I can find links to RETLA since I know I've seen them in the past. They may not be June 1st but at least newer and should allow OTA

Once again, many thanks pizzaboy192... I'm trying to find the rom for the RETLA channel too, but Google doesn't help me (only shows stuff for the G5 Plus, not the G5S Plus lol)
If I find something, I will share it
Thanks again!
