Maybe it isn't a right place to ask for it, however, I saw that erfanoabdi made an Ubuntu Touch GSI and also a halium-boot port for river. Maybe it's a silly question, but it is possible to just simply install this GSI (or maybe semi-GSI, because it requires halium port) on river and boot it? There's a simple guide for installing this GSI or any device which has a halium port, here it is:
0) Install treble compatible android 9 rom
1) FORMAT data in twrp
2) Flash halium-boot.img of your device
3) Flash GSI zip (I think I can't give a link here, it is allowed?)
So can it theoretically work? I tried it, but unfortunately I saw just blank screen after booting.
don't format data before LOS16

So, I should:
1. Flash LOS 16 without formatting data (I'm on Android 10)
2. Format data
3. Flash halium boot
4. Flash UBports GSI
I'll try that but I don't think it's a data problem, because I've already tried it and the zip was successfully installed - files it should copy were copied on data partition, I've checked this. But I'll try once more, without formatting data. Should I boot lineage after flashing?
Yeah, so I followed this and it worked. Thanks!
If anyone had the same problem, I'll write down all what I did:
0. Temporarily booted TWRP and installed it via zip (twrp-3.3.1-14-river)
1. Installed LOS 16 (lineage-16.0-20200127-UNOFFICIAL-river) without formatting data.
2. Booted LOS but it rebooted as the data wasn't formatted and i kept it booting until it booted into LOS Recovery to format data, so I just rebooted phone without formatting data and installed TWRP as in step 0.
3. Flashed halium-boot as boot image in TWRP and installed UBports installed v5 zip, also in TWRP of course.
4. Rebooted phone.
5. Now Ubuntu Touch booted succesfully. Unfortunately, it reboots after about 1 minute. So it's not stable enough at this time. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong, I'll try also another vendor image.
EDIT: I've just tried another vendor.img from newer LOS16 build. Worked fine, but sim doesn't work

Did it occur to you to maybe link to what you're talking about? Where is this halium-boot port for River you're talking about? I see nothing in the main GSI thread about anything but the G7 Power. No results on google for halium-boot river or halium river point to anything but this thread, so I have no idea what you could possibly mean.
Check on https://build.lolinet.com/file/halium/
Here you can find GSI and halium-boot images from Erfan. He also posted it on XDA, here you can find all information about it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...development/gsi-ubuntu-touch-ubports-t4110581
So, halium-boot.img is found on build.lolinet.com
But you can also build Halium 9 image if your device's kernel source is available, here's some info https://github.com/ubports/porting-notes/wiki/Generic-system-image-(GSI)#how-to-install-gsi
Also it's very important to have Android 9 ROM installed before. However, stock Android 9 didn't work for me, I prefer LineageOS. So, just install Lineage and then the GSI and halium boot image. For Moto G7 also flash 'river-firmwares.zip' found on lolinet. It'll fix that weird vibration noise bug. For now, there are some visual glitches visible (also only on river), but it'll be fixed. Anbox is working if you have /data partition formatted in ext4 (not f2fs), so if you follow instructions, you can also run some Android apps. Unfortunately, for me internet connection inside Anbox doesn't work.
Thanks sorry I was just starting to feel a bit insane, that stuff is not indexed on google at all by the looks of it. Thank you.
So here is the process that worked for me.
I started with the stock rom.
1. Followed the full Lineage OS install instructions, including the partitions zip etc.
2. Installed Lineage OS on Slot B per the above instructions
3. Wiped data
4. Flash halium-boot.img
5. Flash GSI zip
Everything works perfectly including cellular functionality.
Followed the steps above. Is it possible to revert?
I followed the steps above, but I am have serious issues with the screen jitter. I have been looking all over the place to see if there is a way to revert back to android so that I can use my phone without the screen jitter. Does any one have any instructions on how to do this? I did turn on ADB mode on Ubuntu Touch but my computer does not see an adb device. Thank for any help.
Took me a long time to figure out too.
Main thing is, if you hold down Power and Volume Down, eventually it will reboot to the boot menu. Don't select anything, just plug it in, and you'll have fastboot.
To go back to stock:
1. Hold down Power and Volume till the boot menu shows up.
2. Plug the phone into your PC
3. Get the newest firmware for your phone model. I bought mine at Best Buy, so it was RETUS aka retail US. https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/river/official/
4. Extract the archive, and enter that folder in your terminal
5. Run the following commands from that folder. I saved these commands in a shell script and ran it but I think you can just paste it
THIS WILL WIPE ANY DATA ON YOUR PHONE AND PUT IT BACK TO FULL FACTORY FIRMWARE WITH LOCKED BOOT LOADER. At least when I ran it, it got my phone 100% no more complaints when it boots about untrusted code. After this you should have a fresh phone you can unlock and try flashing again. THis also restored my OTA ability and I was able to get the Android 10 update without any issues.

Hi,
I was flashing many different ROMs in attempt to find a solution to something I was trying to accomplish. In the end, I gave up and decided to go back to stock. I used this instruction to revert back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/pure-firmware-tuff-wip-t3224833
I followed the instruction under Android 6.0, MPH24.49-18-3 FIRMWARE that said to do:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
I remember when flashing system, there was an invalid sparse header message, but it kept going, so I let it. After that I rebooted bootloader and flashed TWRP again. I then rebooted bootloader once more and entered TWRP. There, I proceeded normally. But then I realized that there was something wrong when I couldn't do the full wipe. I went to look in the mount setting and saw that TWRP was not able to mount internal. The internal was also listed as 0MB. I'm guessing that I need to re-partition/format the internal (or I don't know what I'm talking about lol). Either way, I'm now unable to flash a ROM. Can someone please help me?
Thank you in advance.
try http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/windows-tool-moto-x-style-pure-edition-t3199905
then flash android 6.0 maybe trupure 2.9 and then get the modem from trupure and flash it

Find 18-4 firmware, it's newer anyway... the sparse chunk size error is the problem, the system.img file in that firmware file is too large for the phone to flash via fastboot (thus, it probably isn't an official image, or it's an image for the engineering flash tool, not fastboot). The proper image file with have 6-11 sparce chunks you need to flash individually.

I think i made it worse lol... Because I was getting many errors (random reboots), I decided to do a full wipe to install a ROM fresh. When wiping in TWRP, I accidentally wiped "internal" too. I'm guessing that I need to do something to correct this before I can flash 18-4 firmware. Please let me know if you know what I need to do. Thank you.

TWRP shouldn't be a part of this, nor should it matter whats on your internal storage, this is all done with fastboot.
Factory reset in stock recovery, reboot to bootloader, then flash the complete image with fastboot.

The instruction in that post said to not worry about the sparse error message, so I went with it. This is what the post said.
"You may notice a "sparse header error" when flashing at the beginning. Don't worry about it, all is well. The current AutoFlashFirmware.bat file doesn't work with this Firmware file. Flash the files manually!"
Also, i posted above too, but I just accidentally wiped internal via TWRP too. Do you know what I need to do now in order to get my phone back? I've found solutions for other phones regarding this situation, but I haven't come across one for Moto X Pure. This is what happens when you work on your phone all day long and some more into late night lol...

Thank you very much for that. You mentioned that I would need to factory reset in stock recovery first. Do I just fastboot flash a stock recovery from the firmware zip file from 18-4, boot into its recovery, reset, and then follow the instruction above?

Boot, flash, whatever... It is best to do a factory reset in the default recovery first, but it isn't essential.

Lol it was sparsechunk i just got confused with it and said spunk??
I have a second Moto G4 and I was curious if anyone got a fix for these issues? it happened a while back when I was trying to go back to factory image. there was a lot of errors. I cant seem ti find the screenshots of the errors that I got at the time. This was around January or so.There is no Mac Address in settings and theres no ip no way to turn data on and when I try wifi. it automatically shuts off. Doesn't detect my Sim Card or Service. says Emergency calls only
I have the same problem, I have got the sim working but no wifi or bluetooth yet.
When I load adb shell and grep the wireless module it says "WCNSS DRIVER NOT FOUND" even though it is there.
I found fix. Delete the old os completely and have the right stock os ready to adb flash. Id say google ATHENE_MPJ24.139-49_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml .. then put it in your minimal adb and fastboot file. go to bootloader and then back to computer to do the shift right click in the file on pc and get terminal up and copy and paste this

What are the proper steps to completely remove your entire OS safely? Do you mean to just overwrite the current one?
This procedure overwrites your current or completely. You will lose the contents of the internal SD card

Save what you want and it should be safe to just completely wipe your phone cache and all no overwrite.. Then have the stock ready to flash in the file on computer and do the the above steps. Ive done it on both my moto g4's because on my main one which I'm sending off to Motorola for screen repairs, I wiped my phone without thinking about the stock os. panicked but remembered the back to stock steps and attempted them. Ive always gotten errors or wifi and data wipe from over writing with the codes. So I just flashed on the one I deleted OS off of and it worked.

Yeah sadly you will lose everything unless you have it all saved. I was mad about losing a lot of things but I was having screen issues and data wifi issues to try to fix. I do have data and wifi now. I just wish I saved what I could.
Would the android data recovery program recover anything? Ive been searching how to recover wiped data. Internet is full of info on how wiped data can be recovered. I just want the text messages and stuff. I had important things in some the text messages I lost
You should save to the external SD card.

You should have made a backup with twrp. Then you could restore your os as it was.

Nope the firmware linked above caused the phone to go in to a boot loop.

you can;t flash any of the official firmwares via TWRP. You can flash a custom rom or restore a backup of your OS though.
to flash/reload an official firmware, you need ADB and fastboot running from a computer.
Exactly. Don't try with TWRP.

Hi,
I have a problem with a Moto G4. I tried to root the device and think I f***** up a bit.
After successfully installing TWRP I tried to install SuperSu using adb sideload and afterwards the device wouldn't boot anymore. Only fastboot and the recovery are still working. If I try to boot the device it just turns off. A factory reset didn't help.
I tried installing a LineageOS but nothing changed. It still boots into fastboot.
Can anybody help?

I forgot to say that I at first didn't install supersu systemless.
After I noticed that the device wouldn't boot anymore I tried installing it again systemless.

Hmm, did you wipe your system and data in TWRP before flashing LineageOS? You do not require root to flash LineageOS, just an unlocked bootloader and a compatible TWRP recovery (taking care to note if you need the 32 bit or 64 bit TWRP recovery for the respective custom ROM).
Also, with rooting on our G4/Plus, if you are on stock Nougat, you must flash a custom kernel (e.g. ElementalX) before you root. You'll otherwise experience the boot failures you're experiencing. Thus, to root on stock Nougat, unlock bootloader, flash/boot TWRP, backup, then flash ElementalX, then flash SuperSU/magisk.
Without knowing the current state of your device, I would suggest re-flashing your device with the stock firmware. Can you remember what stock firmware you had on your device before rooting initially?

Hi, thanks for your reply
Yes, I wiped system data and cache before flashing lineage. I just tried it again and I am still stuck in fastboot.
Unfortunately I don't remember the stock firmware version. Should I just try to flush the custom kernel and supersu afterwards?

Hmm, did you know if the flash of LineageOS reported okay within TWRP? Just out of interest, which TWRP and which build of LineageOS are you flashing (e.g. are you using the 32 bit TWRP or 64 bit TWRP, and are you flashing the 32 or 64 bit Lineage OS)?
That's confusing that even pressing 'start' in fastboot reboots your device rather than booting, even with a custom ROM... What happens if you boot to TWRP and try to reboot via TWRP? Is there a system to boot to?
Without the stock system on your device, there's no point to re-flashing the custom kernel/SuperSU, since you should have LineageOS on your device. Do you have a TWRP backup you could restore before you tried to root? If not, then what's your device model number (and if you can remember it, what software channel you're on, e.g. retus, reteu etc). ?

Yes, everything was ok with the flash.
I am using lineage-14.1-20180516-nightly-athene-signed and twrp-3.2.1-0-athene. I didn't see any options to choose between 32 and 64 bit. (Download pages: https://download.lineageos.org/athene#!name https://eu.dl.twrp.me/athene/)
It doesn't matter how I try to boot (powerbutton, fastboot, recovery) I always directly end up in fastboot.
No I don't have a backup. When I got the device it was resetted so I saw no point in making one :/ It is an XT1622 and it should be reteu.

Okay, so they should both be 32 bit, so no worries there. There do seem to be a few reports of boot issues on the more recent official LineageOS builds https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-1-t3522101/page280 but I don't know if they are still existing on the build you've flashed.
As it's likely your device has been reset when you flashed LineageOS (I don't know if there are still files on your internal storage, which you can view in TWRP, so back up if you do have files), you may wish to look into a stock firmware flash. Here's the April 2018 NPJS25.93-14-18 firmware, which appears to be the build released to EU devices: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 You do not have to re-lock your bootloader if you don't wish to - if you wish to leave your bootloader unlocked, then flash the stock firmware via fastboot with the following flashing commands:
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
Flashing these files via ADB should put a fresh copy of the latest firmware onto your device, which should then boot. If it does boot, then you can proceed with rooting (flash TWRP, then back up, then flash ElementalX or vegito, then flash SuperSU or magisk).

I can boot the stock rom and I have root access. However if I start or shut down the device it goes to fastboot. From there I can boot or shut down the device and everything seems to work Do you know how I can boot directly without fastboot?

Hmm, try booting back to the bootloader, attach your device to your computer, then open ADB. In ADB, type 'fastboot oem fb_mode_clear' without the quotes. Press enter to submit, then reboot and see if your device boots to system rather than to fastboot.
This command should clear fastboot mode (though useful when flashing).

Thank you very much for your help :victory:
Someone managed to get the RSD Secure link for the FASTBOOT files of the final Oreo 8.1 release for RETAIL Moto G5/cedric.
With these files you'll be able to update to official oreo, relock your bootloader or simply go back to stock.
Using the guide I'll write below you'll be able to flash it from Linux, Windows and MacOS.
The new firmware is named OPP28.85-16 and Blur Version listed within the firmware package is:
Code:
Blur_Version.28.41.15.cedric.retail.en.US
whereas the OTA file for the corresponding Firmware lists it as:
Code:
Blur_Version.25.361.10.cedric.retail.en.US
I dont know which is "correct", but anyways, this should not alter your results when flashing this with fastboot.

FLASHING IT
If your seeing this post long after Setember 2018 it may be the case you have updated your firmware past this one and got a different bootloader version, in that case, make sure to check you bootloader version is BELOW B8.31. Flashing bootloader of equal or minor version will hardbrick your device
UPDATING FROM PREVIOUS ANDROID VERSION
1. If you're on Windows/Mac, download motorola USB drivers here. (You shouldn't need these on Linux)
2. Download Android Platform Tools (ADB & Fastboot ) for Windows/Mac/ Linux here (if you're on Linux, get these from your distro's repo instead).
3. Extract the platform tools somewhere
4. Extract the firmware's ZIP too (I recommend extracting it to the same directory as platform tools, this will make your life easier).
5.Open a command prompt/terminal where you extracted platform tools (To do that on windows, Hold SHIFT + right Click some blank area within platform-tools directory, then click "Open Command Prompt Here".
6. Reboot into fastboot (power off and connect USB while holding Vol Down) and Execute the following commands
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
7. Reboot your phone by typing fastboot reboot or by selecting the "START" option in phone's screen and then pressing the power button
PS: Do not execute commands related to erasing the modemst1 and modemst2 partitions. This has been related to people losing their IMEI's.
RELOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER
edit
Seems like my instructions on how to relock didn't work, but I want to thank Andrej_SK, who managed to do it and posted instructions on how to do it. Just remember that you should Not flash bootloader if you're already on B8.31 or past it. Flashing gpt.bin can also hardbrick your phone and there have been reports of it happening here on XDA and on telegram. I personally didn't flash it when moving from NPPS25.137-93-2-5 and had no problem at all, and I think you shouldn't too, unless you know you absolutely need it (which I think is unlikely, since the partition scheme looks the same on both nougat and Oreo)
Andrej_SK said:
I was able to lock my bootloader with this firmware (but I wasn't satisfied with official Oreo at all so I unlocked it again and downgraded to Nougat).
Try this (on your own risk only): input "fastboot oem lock" twice (first time for starting the whole process of locking, second time for confirmation). Then, execute commands below, one by one
Code:
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
Then, input "fastboot oem lock" for the last time. Your phone should immediately reboot, as mine did. If there will be problem with booting into OS, just reflash the whole system with commands below:
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img (do not flash this if you're on B8.31 or further, so as not to hardbrick the device)
fastboot flash logo logo.bin

DOWNGRADING FROM A FIRMWARE NEWER THAN OPP28.85-16
1. Follow steps one 1 up to five described in the first section UPDATING FROM PREVIOUS ANDROID VERSION
2. Omit these lines from step 6:
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
Notice that omitting these two lines is VERY IMPORTANT if you're downgrading, otherwise you'll hardbrick your device.
3.7. Reboot your phone by typing fastboot reboot or by selecting the "START" option in phone's screen and then pressing the power button
That's it. If you liked, press thanks
Ps: some of my friends have reported phone is rebooting right after flashing sparsechunk.5.
phone will apparently boot normally and show the setup wizard screen, but in actuality there will be missing files on the system partition.
in that case, reboot into fastboot and finish flashing the system normally, then boot your phone
Thank you very much! Excuse me if I'm wrong but with this file it's safe to install Oreo from stock Nuggat right? I just need to unlock the bootloader and flash normally?
Thank, you to provide the firmware.
On another thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5...eo-8-1-0-release-opp28-t3849273/post77771786) you wrote it's necessary to be on firmware NPPS25.137-93-2-5. Maybe you forgot to mention that!?
I believe the two threads are separate updates. One being OTA and this thread being fastboot firmware. I was wondering if this would work on my Moto g5 xt1670 (137-93-8)?
Woooow
Thanks

no need to unlock BL to flash this. If you're on stock Nougat just make sure you're on NPPS25.137-93-2-5 (July security patch), then grab the ota here and sideload or flash it using the stock recovery
if you're not on NPPS25.137-93-2-5 then you'll need to flash it before flashing the ota.

Thank you very much for this! I've been using the soak Oreo and could not be happier until this thread, time for the final Oreo for my beloved G5.
Blur_Version.28.41.15 for OPP28.85-16 is correct!
I'm on the 2nd soak test update OPP28.85-13 and tried the OTA update from your other post. This failed due to wrong version (E3002) since it expects the last NPPS25.137-93-2-5 version.
How can I update from OPP28.85-13 to the latest OPP28.85-16 via fastboot flash without losing my current data and settings?
Can I flash without "erase userdata"?
The thing I don't like in your instructions is lack of DDR errase command.
Please explain your point. Also please compare with flashfile.xml from Oreo firmware.

I think it's very unlikely anyone has this OPP25.85-16, otherwise it would've already surfaced somewhere.
(edit)
seems like I was wrong, I just reflashed the firmware and managed to keep my data by not using fastboot erase user data.
(/edit)
regarding the "fastboot erase user data" it doesn't matter if you use it or not, since once you flash all sparse chunks you'll lose your data partition anyways.
what I'd suggest you to do is
1.backup your data partition using twrp and your internal storage to a pc/sdcard/whatever (twrp doesn't backup your internal storage)
2. flash the firmware just as described on the main thread
3 fastboot boot twrp.img PRIOR to the first boot
4. restore your data
5. connect your phone to USB cable with twrp still open and copy back your internal storage through TWRP's MTP(or use twrp's file manager/aroma FM in case you backed internal storage to sd card)
5. boot your phone.
I never tried backing up internal storage but I already did this when fastbooting and managed to keep my data (settings, apps, etc) .
I just advice you to remove any screen lock prior to backing up your data since your previous pattern/pin/password generally won't work after restoring a twrp backup, but in case you forget it use twrp and go to /data/system and delete locksettings.db and your
lock screen protection will be gone

as I said idk what'd happen if someone did this. the best you can do now is to find some old amzin firmware and fastboot it (do not flash gpt.bin or bootloader.bin, so as not to hard brick your device)
Andrej_SK said:
I was able to lock my bootloader with this firmware (but I wasn't satisfied with official Oreo at all so I unlocked it again and downgraded to Nougat).
Try this (on your own risk only): input "fastboot oem lock" twice (first time for starting the whole process of locking, second time for confirmation). Then, execute commands below, one by one
Code:
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
Then, input "fastboot oem lock" for the last time. Your phone should immediately reboot, as mine did. If there will be problem with booting into OS, just reflash the whole system with commands below:
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
Edit: as you can see at the screenshots in the attachment, I'm able to lock bootloader with this firmware. First, I reflashed the whole Oreo firmware, then rebooted into bootloader using "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and at last I tried to relock bootloader which was (once again) successful.

many a thanks, I'll put this on the main thread
Currently on OPP28.85-3
Currect me if I'm wrong, but by what I have been reading,
I cant go from OPP28.85-3 to OPP28.85-16
What I've read, I can't be on bootloader B8.31 (which I am) and since this isn't a "full system" image, just a "patch" for official Nougat to upgrade to offical Oreo, I need to be on Nougat.
If this is the case, could I go back to nougat through a TWRP Zip, or would this need to be done through fastboot commands. I know I need a downgraded Bootloader and I don't think ROM flashing affects anything else but /system
PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong. Just a curious guy who loves learning.
I do not know whether my EFS and Persist are intact but I have backed them up. I had installed Pixel Experience 9.0 and then restored my TWRP backup to go to Stock Oreo, Build Number: OPSS28.85-13-5. This is my current Build, unlocked, rooted and has TWRP.
Can I follow this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/development/stock-firmware-npn25-137-67-5-fastboot-t3694738) guide to go back to Stock Nougat and then upgrade to the latest official update from moto?
I am asking to confirm as the Stock ROM given in the guide is Nougat ROM and I am on Oreo as mentioned above. I won't have any problems right? I do not want to lose VoLTE and my IMEI.
Any help will be appreciated.
Installed Oreo ROM via fastboot on my Moto G5 Plus [RETIN/Indian/ XT1686]
I am sharing my experience here so that it might help someone looking to flash stock ROM via fastboot. This is not meant to be a tutorial, but I will list out the steps I followed. I am not responsible if you mess up or hard/soft brick your device when following the steps I mentioned below. Always make a backup of your data/photos/videos/music and whatever else. Also make a backup with TWRP to be safe.
So instead of following the guide linked in the above post, I followed this one and successfully unrooted and returned to stock: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/moto-g5-plus-fastboot-flash-stock-oreo-t3848433
But I did not use the ROM linked by the OP in that thread. Instead I downloaded this one : https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
This RETIN ROM works for me because I have the Indian XT1686. I don't know if it matters but I had the same version (13-5) before, but I am not sure whether it was RETAIL or RETIN.
Anyways guys make sure you download the right ROM for your device if you are going to install via fastboot. You can download the right ROM for your device from here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/potter/official/
There are different folders for ROMs of different regions in the above link. So carefully download the one your device is compatible with.
Also, I installed fastboot drivers from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Follow the instructions and also follow the video tutorials in the post to install fastboot drivers if your phone isn't detected in fastboot.
Then once I had downloaded the ROM and installed ADB, I extracted the ROM zip into a folder. Copy pasted ADB Files into the same folder (download ADB Files that worked for me _ attached to this post below).
FInally I put my phone in fastboot (turn off phone, then press volume down and power simultaneously till fastboot shows up). Connected the phone to my PC. Then opened CMD in the folder where I had extracted the ROM and copy pasted the ADB Files. To open cmd in a folder, just type cmd in the address bar of the folder and press enter.
And then I copy pasted the following code into the cmd window:
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
The above commands will run when pasted in cmd and your phone will be flashed with the ROM. It took a couple minutes to install and then I had to press enter while still in cmd to reboot the phone. Then the phone rebooted. Took a couple minutes more to boot, so stay patient. Then once the phone booted, I disconnected it from my PC and set the phone up as usual. DO NOT disconnect the phone when the fastboot commands are running and the ROM is being flashed. Note that the above fastboot commands will only flash the ROM. It will not lock the bootloader.
If you want to lock the bootloader then follow the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/moto-g5-plus-fastboot-flash-stock-oreo-t3848433
Note that I haven't locked my bootloader. So you will have to try and see for yourself whether it locks your bootloader.
Also once I booted up I got update notification and was able to update to the Feb 2019 OTA security update. So I can for sure say that updates work. VoLTE, calling, camera, almost everything I checked works.
Cheers. :victory:
