No reception after OREO (Soak 1 and 2) sideload - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I got a strange problem after I upgraded - it started to show that I don't have any SIM and, therefore, no reception or mobile internet. The weirdest thing - the first few seconds after reset/restart it shows full 4g, but then reception triangle gets blank and missing SIM icon appears. And funny thing - the connection is active in this short period - I received a text with Viber access code. An impression was that network is fine before something loads and blocks it.
So, I tried to flash back the Stock Room with December patch, which I flashed to my Stock Retail Rom September patch (BL unlocked, rooted) before sideloading soaks. RDS failed on the third step as, I guess, it checks what you flash on to what. I shrugged and decided to flash custom Rom to be able then to flash 7,1 stock. I downloaded both ROM and gapps, flashed TWRP and booted to recovery. TWRP on it's first launch asked something and started to mount something, preparing for normal work. However, after it finished, it rebooted again and booted into stock recovery. Well, here I clicked everything I could, I mounted System (don't ask)), few other venues and, finally, erase userdata. It asked data only or personalized content as well - I chose the later. In the logs it said userdata, cache and something to do with carrier was deleted.
I clicked restart and it loaded into bootlaoder again. Hm, checked the logs and it said bootmethod in UKG was set as BL (fastboot reason). Restarted again. The phone said it was being encrypted and when finished - started normally. The setup menu asked for the language and the network triangle was full and showed 4G. I selected the language, setup WiFi and triangle disappeared. I put in my email address to setup Google account and froze - I have 2-step verification. So I inputted my password and restarted the phone in a hope to get the text while the connection is active. This time phone booted normally and ****ing miracle!!!! the network is back!
No idea what helped it, but if you have this trouble - maybe it will help you.

No WiFi or Bluetooth, phone's garbage

That's the order of how things happened:
1. Everything was perfect until MM
2. Battery drained fast as hell
3. I rooted my device
4. I installed TWRP
5. I flashed SuperSu
6. Got into bootloop
7. I wiped and flashed stock ROM
Now I can't connect to WiFi or Bluetooth. The WiFi symbol keeps flashing and says "can't find Wifi connections, please check mobile data". When I go into settings it sometimes freezes and sometimes crushes. I tried flashing the ROM again but even in the first screen [where you choose the language, name of the phone etc] when I get to the connection section it's just plain white like it got stuck and then I need to press "skip anyway" just to continue.
Phone's a mess, an actual garbage. What should I do?
You just need to update your profile. That's it.

Recover any personal data from a non-booting device

So hello there!
I'm having the following issue and I'm kinda out of ideas.
I was running a (KingRoot) rooted fireOS 4.6.6.1 (420) if I'm not mistaken.
So this is what happened:
Phone was running just fine, but I wanted to get rid of the facebook background services which kept running without the actual app installed. Also a friend proposed to run the 'fstrim' command. So reading through xda I found an app called 3C Toolbox (http://www.3c71.com/android/?q=node/916) which seemed to be safe to use. Installed it and still didn't change a thing except for the three 'fstrim' actions to perform. After that I restarted my phone.
Powered off just fine, but at the start only the 'Amazon' logo comes up and vanishes into a black screen with the backlight still on. Even after waiting several hours nothing changes.
So what did I attempt to get it wirking again?
At first I tried to simply restart it. --> Nothing changed.
Tried to get into recovery and clean the cache. --> Nothing changed except the 'Amazon' being on for a bit longer
Get into ADB and try pull/uninstall... --> Guess due to the locked bootloader I'm not allowed to issue any command other than 'adb sideload [packagename]' for system updates. As for ADB itself I can only get it to recognize on the PC when I get into recovery and choose the 'apply update from ADB' option.
Get into fastboot according to this tutorial (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668159) --> doesn't work.
Get into 'Safe Mode' with this tutorial (https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/help/how-to-fire-phone-to-boot-safe-mode-t2828240) --> doesn't work either.
So does anybody has another idea I could give a try or should I just abondon all my data and flash a new clean image?
Also I'm not sure if updating from ADB will erase all personal data too. Guess so, but maybe I can get a clearification in here too.

Debricked, P2 sees SIM, asks for PIN, but does not register on network, SIM disabled?

So... I stared into the abyss, but I came back from the brink - unlocked bootloader, and the modem/calibration stuff got wiped during what should have been a routine TWRP flash from fastboot, and left me with no radios whatsoever. After flashing S048, and applying all the known OTAs up till S251, I got my wifi & bluetooth radios back, but it didn't seem to recognise my SIM (tried both slots).
After trying for almost a week, I also finally got the diagnostics mode going and was able to put a working QCN backup in place (thank you XDA and uploader).
So I flashed the LineageOS 15.1 20180413, and lo and behold, it sees the SIM and asks for a PIN to unlock it. So far, so good. Then (first time) Android says 'switching to mobile data, might take a while' but nothing really happens (I am on wireless; if I turn off wifi that doesn't make any difference though).
Under 'Network', 'Automatically select network' is enabled but 'Network' (right below) is greyed out. When I untick 'Automatically select network', it says 'Error while searching for networks'. When I re-tick it again, it says 'Registered on network', although nothing really happens.
Under SIM cards, it says slot 1 is populated, but says 'Mobile Vikings is disabled' (Mobile Vikings being my provider). The button to enable it is greyed out. Switching to airplane mode doesn't force anything either.
I've had a logcat instance open when toggling 'Automatically select network', but nothing related seems to show up. Any hints on what I could try/check? Or is this a coaster?
I believe that once you erase the modem stuff you'll always have serious problems restoring it. It seems like most people have to send the device in for service.
I've still no solution for an old P2 of mine and in that case I even had a TWRP backup.
Lenovo should really allow for us to flash stock images . An unlocked bootloader with LESS privileges makes no sense.
Wipe everything in twrp & flash twrp full backup which included efs & modem shared on our p2 forum. then flash Fastboot s48 only systemchuncks 0-14, boot & recovery then do 4-5 OTAs updates till latest one s251, you'll get you mobile network & calls back.
@eried1 Yeah looks like it
@amansehdav I have turned the P2 subforum upside down and I already tried this - restore a working S233 TWRP backup, flash S048 through fastboot, and upgrade with the OTAs till S251. No dice. Wifi and Bluetooth came back with that process, but the stock firmware would not see the SIM.

Question S22 Ultra reboots when I enter the passcode. One UI 5.0 Beta

Model: SM-S908U1 Unlocked
Hello so to start off I want to say this is entirely my fault for not backing up my phone before installing this beta.
Story:
So today I tried to create a secure folder and while it was creating the secure folder my phone shut down after rebooting I cannot get into my phone every time I enter the password it just freezes and reboots. I can see my data is still all there because I am still receiving app notifications. How would I go about fixing this as I cannot factory wipe the phone because of fear of loosing my accounts tied to 2fa.
What I have tried so far:
- Using Samsung's find my phone feature to remove the screen lock (The phone randomly reboots multiple times and the screen lock is not removed.)
- Wiping system cache
- ADB does not detect the device as it is locked so there is not much I can do with that.
Other notes:
I have used oden in the past but I cannot find the right software for my model to attempt to re flash. (SM-S908U1 Unlocked)

Motorola One Action auto update failed now stuck on "Just a sec..."

Hi,
My Motorola One Action is original (so no custom firmware or rooted) and every now and then i receive auto updates. Recently the phone was upgraded to Android 11. Fine.
Last weekend there was an update and in the morning the phone was stuck on Android bootloader with the question "format" or "retry" (cannot remember exactly, but it was 2 questions) and i chose "retry". The device rebooted; android logo showed up and then the google/android assistant showed up with the notification "Hello" and a lanuage selector.
I choose NL or EN and then a white screen with "Just a sec..." appears and this screen will stay there forever. I put the phone on charger and waited 30 hours, still the same.
What i tried:
- reboot;
- press & hold power button long time; reboot;
- turn off and then volume Down + Power key bootloader. There isnt much i can do here;
- from screen above; go to fastboot mode (volume Up + power) but unfortunately there is no whipe cache option; only whipe data / factory reset.
FYI: there are still a lot of photo's on the device; i dont want a factory reset and/or whipe data.
I put device in bootloader mode again, connect with usb and installed "Rescue and Smart Assistant". The device recognized, IMEI is found and more stuff. In this Windows app i can download the correct firmware; i store it in c:/motorola/firware. The file is troika_reteu_rsbs31.q1-48-36-23-2_subsidy-default_regulatory-default_cfc.xml.zip
The the "Start Rescue" button is shown; but the message "Flashing removes all data from device".
I dont want that so i followed this guide:
The conversion went OK and executed the file generated (.bat), immediately a upload process starts; this takes about 5-6 minutes. After that; a device reboot and still... the same result.
Any tips or advice would be very helpful (i hope).
I found this; looks promising

But unfortunately the image browser does not respond.
I have contacted Motorola / Lenovo using their forum. In short their answer is that for almost sure the only way is to completely reset the device that means whiping data.
Is there absolutely no way to access the data partition?
I used ADB to flash a newer and older version of android.
Both version gave a error message directly when phone powered on.
Then i re-installed the current version of android; phone worked again. Unfortunately all data lost.
