Does anyone have the unlocked variant on Verizon? I'd love to know if WiFi calling works like the Verizon variant.
Thanks so much.
I do. No issues. Popped in sim from Moto X Pure Edition and set it up.
I have not used wifi calling.
I don't even know how to use wifi calling.
What are the advantages of wifi calling?
WiFi Calling Only on Verizon Variants
I have the 64 GB Unlocked Z2 Play on Verizon and no, there is no WiFi calling.
That option can only be enabled via settings options that are specific to Verizon's software. It is the one feature I really miss.
I have the unlock 1710-01. Put Verizon software on it and enabled wifi calling. Can't get video calling to work though.

Yes. Verizon firmware. You can't update it through the phone with a unlocked bootloader. Use Verizon's software upgrade assistance to update. It'll say it failed but it doesn't.

Thanks, but I'm not interested in VZW firmware.
You wrote "software" so I was thinking a Verizon app.

Just curious, did you go to MY Verizon, Log in, My devices, My Plan and Services, Manage Products & Apps, Free Products and see if your line is compatible, if so click the Git It Now button. See attached
Then, on your phone go to settings, Network & Internet, Advanced Calling and enable it there.
BTW, HD Voice vonly works (is noticeable) when you're calling another VZW phone with HD Voice (using the HD Codec).

My Z2 Play is not the Verizon version XT1710-02, but the US Unlocked version XT1710-01.

Complete firmware using fast boot. After that, you can use the software upgrade assistant.

Yes. HD voice is activated. Just can't use the video calling with Verizon built in dialer. Have to use google duo.

Do you mean "Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant for Motorola"? I can't get past not having the "Software Installation mode" for the USB connection. Does my XT1710-01 (Android 8.0.0) need to be unlocked/rooted for this to work? Whatever it takes, I would really like to get this working.
Yes you will need a unlocked boot loader. You first have to install the firmware via fastboot. Then Verizon software can be used.

I am not sure what order was used. I use houseofmoto that will unpack the firmware and create a batch file. I just run the batch file it creates.
WARNING: if the gpt.bin flash did not work, please stop and do not continue with the rest of the commands. It has been brought to my attention that software upgrades to the phone has changed the gpt and may not allow you to go back to the original stock firmware.
For all of you who DID NOT do a System image backup in TWRP and then found out your backup doesn't work.
First get your stock firmware here, the only place to get Moto stock firmware!
https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto E4 Plus/Stock/
Then get fastboot. Google fastboot or grab the one from here: This one still works:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
If your fastboot directory isn't in your $PATH or you don't know how to do that, then copy fastboot into the same folder where you unzipped your stock firmware.
Got to the folder where you put everythig, open up a command or powershell prompt. Hold down shift, right click, "open command window here".
Now for the fun. You veterans can just look at the flashfile.xml to see the order. Those of you who are new, here are the commands you need to do. You could probably copy the entire thing and past it in your command window at one time. But I like to type it out.... line by line. You know, old school.
Commands:
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash gpt gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem hlos.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
the command to erase ddr will probably fail, but that shouldn't affect anything. I have tested by bringing my Moto E4 Plus that was running Lineage OS back to 100% stock. Of course, then I went right back to Lineage
Outstanding. Thank you for the post. I'm sure this will get used quite a bit. I did do a backup but it's always nice to have contingencies at the ready.

I know this may sound like a stupid question, but which firmware package should I download and use for the Device purchased straight from Motorola? There are quite a few there and I don't want to flash the wrong one. This device was supposed too work on any US carrier and I would like to keep it that way, but my carrier is Verizon. All I had to do, when I got the device was install my Verizon Sim out of my Nexus 6 and it worked great. I do test for Cricket network too and that is a GSM radio so as I said, I would like it to have the firmware that would have come right from Motorola for this specific device. Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much. You sir are an awesome person.
I have another question and forgive me for being a pain but all steps went ok but at the end where the re-boot takes place it just keeps flashing back and forth from a black screen with "Bad Key" in the upper left corner and then to a screen with a colorful circle that says "erasing". I figured it was just doing a factory reset but it just keeps flashing back and forth between the 2 screens. Any idea what to try ? I tryed to boot to recovery and get the same thing. Thank you for any help.

Did you remember to do an fastboot OEM fb_mode_clear?
no I didn't do that. I will go back over your instructions and re-do it. Thank you again for your assistance. I usually don't bug people for help and try to fix things on my own so I really appreciate you help.

Actually that is the command input right before the reboot command so I guess I did do that command. I will research this more and thank you for your help once again.

I haven't had that problem. Have you scanned your PC for virus/malware?
I would like to relock my bootloader but on this firmware it says the boot is not signed. Can I relock it after I do the ota as they should be signed then right?

The rom which came with your device is called stock rom. You can find it here
https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/foru...l-stock-moto-g5-cedric-firmware-t3733897/amp/
You can flash the old rom but you should not flash gpt and bootloader. If you flash bootloader and gpt your device will get hard bricked. So I suggest you to don't flash gpt and bootloader if you're having old stock rom. If you having latest stock rom then you can flash bootloader and gpt.

When you flash stock rom there is possibility of losing imei. So take a backup of efs, if it efs didn't work then there a forum about how to recover imei with 4g. Wait for few minutes I send the link of the thread

Ok I flashed the original stock ROM and I ended up getting 0 IMEI and no network. I followed your guide :
It seem like many of are not getting imei after doing this also.let me explain you in a clear way
Step1:-run on a custom rom such as lineage,aosp...
(Note:-if you have 4g/LTE in custom rom then skip step2)
Step2:-turn off your phone and get into bootloader and run the following commands
Fastboot erase modemst1
Fastboot erase modemst2
Step3:-make a back up of efs in Twrp 64x bits(save the efs in external memory so it will not get erased) and erase data,cache only
Step4:-now flash 32xbits Twrp then
Step5:-flash stock rom using following commands
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.o
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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot reboot
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Step6:-now reboot your phone
Step7:-you will get the Imei and 4g/LTE
Step8:-don't use OTA, use adb you can download updates from here
https://drive.google.com/drive/mobil...Py?usp=sharing
Step9:-reboot to stock recovery and select apply update from adb
Step10:-run the following command to apply update
Adb sideload filename.zip
Step11:-In may security patch you may lose imei
Step12:-now install Twrp 64x bits and restore efs from it which you have make it before
Step13:-reboot your device.done
Now you will get the Imei,4g/LTE and latest update.
Let me know if it works for you.
--------------
This didn't work though, I have been messing around and finally got IMEI and 3G back again by reinstalling pixel experience ROM. But 4G doesn't even come up anymore when I select it in the Android network option, It just stays 3G when i select 4G, before it would say 4G with a X through it at the top of the home screen.
I have some questions, why do you need to flash 32bit TWRP because after you use the commands to flash stock it wipes thw TWRP anyway? also where can I get the 32bit as I can only find 64bit version.
Is that the reason why I got 0 IMEI because I didn't use 32 bit TWRP?
Finger print and loud speaker is now working but I REALLY need 4G back, please tell me how I can accomplish this?
I backed up my EFS AFTER I used the following commands:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
But all that did was remove my IMEI.
I am lost how to get 4G back
Restoring EFS does nothing....
Thanks

Ok I flashed the original stock ROM and I ended up getting 0 IMEI and no network. I followed your guide :
It seem like many of are not getting imei after doing this also.let me explain you in a clear way
Step1:-run on a custom rom such as lineage,aosp...
(Note:-if you have 4g/LTE in custom rom then skip step2)
Step2:-turn off your phone and get into bootloader and run the following commands
Fastboot erase modemst1
Fastboot erase modemst2
Step3:-make a back up of efs in Twrp 64x bits(save the efs in external memory so it will not get erased) and erase data,cache only
Step4:-now flash 32xbits Twrp then
Step5:-flash stock rom using following commands
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.o
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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot reboot
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Step6:-now reboot your phone
Step7:-you will get the Imei and 4g/LTE
Step8:-don't use OTA, use adb you can download updates from here
https://drive.google.com/drive/mobil...Py?usp=sharing
Step9:-reboot to stock recovery and select apply update from adb
Step10:-run the following command to apply update
Adb sideload filename.zip
Step11:-In may security patch you may lose imei
Step12:-now install Twrp 64x bits and restore efs from it which you have make it before
Step13:-reboot your device.done
Now you will get the Imei,4g/LTE and latest update.
Let me know if it works for you.

Now your in which rom stock or custom??? If you're on custom rom just use this command's
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
If you are in stock you need to go back to custom check if 4g is there if not use the above command and then come to stock without using this codes
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
And gpt, bootloader.

I am on pixel again, if I go back to stock it gives me 0 IMEI, and I don't want to risk it as I don't have the internet at home right now I am tethered via my phone. I did these commands
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
Before and it wiped my IMEI.
What do you mean "and gpt, bootloader" they need flashing too? for which ROM? I am so confused.
Why is 32bits TWRP needed?
I tried stock rom and the oreo rom and both gave me 0 IMEI but I am not sure what I did to get it working on pixel, I flashed pixel in TWRP and booted the phone and the IMEI and 3G was working again, but no 4G.

even two guys in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/help/solution-0-imei-stock-t3801860/
Said that getting 4g back wasn't possible? and the post before my one that guy had issues too. I hear there is no fix to get 4G back....

I am on Pixel rom with 3G only, no 4G, I just used those commands and rebooted the phone, it wiped my IMEI and gave me no signal..... so that doesn't work....
I then had to install stock rom again (without the above codes and gpt/bootloader it didn't give me imei stilI) So I wipe data, reinstall pixel custom rom and still no imei or 3g, I then installed Oreo soak test with all the commands (including fastboot erase modemst1/2 and gpt/bootloader) then flash pixel again to get my 3g back... I think I am doomed and 4g doesn't work anymore, many people are saying the same thing. Even on this guys video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmKg84IXEbo
I also can't restore my EFS file as when I try to it says some error about a partition?
Apprently the only way to fix it is install official android 8.0 that guy said? is this true?

Not sure, I did use 32bit twrp for something I can't remember what though, it wasn't stock rom as I used the commands to flash stock rom.
Also tried this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/how-to-recovery-4g-moto-g5-t3787208
But that didn't work either, using the erase modem commands just wipes my IMEI. I tried this on Pixel rom though not the DotOS, surely that doesn't make any difference?

if you ever played with your persist, its not fixing those persist who flashed other device persist to gain IMEI and VoLTE, safe for those who never played with their persist and for those who are having baseband with ending with capital R. Direct flashing via fastboot ending with no signals and also not imei if dont skip erase modemst1
erase modemst2.
Guide for those who are not on their own persist but with another persist able to use Signals with volte and using any custom or nougat or twrp rom
first take backup of your current working efs and persist on sd card or otg
Thn flash above rom via fastboot, dont skip anything, reboot system thn again go in fastboot menu
Flash twrp, thn in twrp only flash only FIRMWARE from SOAK Test 1 Aroma by @NZedPred ( https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903990826 ), Thanks @NZedPred for his great work, now restore your efs and persist, roboot system.
If you want to lock bootloader thn follow these commands in fastboot
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
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.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot oem lock
All of these worked for me as I was also not on my own persist.
everything working fine CAMERA, VOLTE, WIFI, FINGERPRINT, locked bootloader and unlocked also again with my key tht provided by moto, battery also charging faster, battery backup is also good.
Hey, will this work for hard bricked users? I've been using twrp flashable nougat stock ROMs since last year! Can't get back to full stock so!

For those who played with their persist, there are IMEI but no network after restoring EFS and Persist backup with TWRP, so be careful.

After upgrading to oreo, download the Oreo flashable zip (Aroma) of SOAK1 and install only the firmware. And restore your efs after this step.
My phone is working perfectly with this, no network issues.

but I got the OTA update on my phone to download and I did that but I am the little bit afraid to install it just because of VOLTE and IMEI
*Update: I finally was able to get a hold of someone at sprint who actually took the time to take care of me. My phone was indeed unlocked, but she submitted the unlock request again. After restarting my phone on, wifi with a sprint sim, it unlocked!!!! Finally! Btw sprint doesn't like you walking into stores without a mask on and they'll give you the corporate # immediately to get you out of the store. 877-365-6413 Hope this helps someone since it took me 6 sprint community chats, 3 phone calls and a store visit to handle.
About 2 years ago I bought 2 Boost Moto G plays for $49. We activated them on Sprint and used them for a year. Sprint Sim unlocked both phones after 6 months and I have confirmed it twice. I gave my old moto g6 play to my mother in law with Verizon. Popped the sim card in and it worked no problem. My wife continued to use her moto g6 play but wanted Android 9, so I unlocked the bootloader, downgraded and then flashed the stock sprint update from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g6-play/development/ota-moto-g6-play-aljeter-t3921877
Phone worked fine and wife used it for 6 more months until we upgraded to g7 powers.
The issue I am having is that the only sim card this phone will read is the sprint one. Tmobile=Nothing. Verizon=No. At&t=No.
I know for a fact that the other phone works on Verizon, so this one should too. I tried flashing RetUS on this phone (which actually worked for my metro g7 power to work on Verizon) and still no luck. I figure something is messed up, or not flashed properly to see the other sim cards.
Anyone have a clue? Thanks in advance!
This is how i flashed it:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

Thank you for reaching out!!! Tried it with no luck. When flashing the modem file it says: not found? Not sure if that's a normal error or not.
Also the phone simply says, sim status: unavailable. So it knows it's in the phone but doesn't know what to do with it.
I think you're on the right track though! It's something simple that didn't flash properly at some point.
