Pls, bro. I am having similar problem as this. I've installed three different MM roms, all worked fine but settings app crashes whenever i try to access "security" inorder to activate unknown sources. Pls, if you've solved yours, point me to the rom you used. Pls, reply as soon as you can. Thanks.

what firmware did you come from? 13b or higher? i think it's because you flash it from 13b

Did you get it fixed? I have some things for you to try. I had a similar issue a couple of years ago with one of my tablets where setting kept crashing. Try erasing the cash partition in recovery.
If that doesn't work please tell me what version of Android did you come from before you installed the rom. I'm trying to eliminate some factors that may cause issues.

My g4 is a bit unique.
I bought it from aliexpress ( originally requested for h811).
When it arrived, it had tmobile h811 rom installed (h811020n).
But the motherboard was vs986 written on it.
The phone boots properly only when i flash vs986 files(modem).
All 4 MM roms including the h811020n have same settings crash issue.
I installed nougat rom, it booted but without cell servive and sound, but settings app doesn't crash like the mm roms.
I don't realy know what firmware my g4 came from.

let's try updating your boot stack. I'm busy right now so I can't give you the files. but you can get the files your self by downloading the 2ba kdz and extracting it using salt
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR MOTHERBOARD IS A VS986!! THIS COULD HARD BRICK IT IF IT'S NOT!!
here's a list of the files
Code:
factory factory.bin
fastboot flash hyp hyp.bin
fastboot flash modem modem.bin
fastboot flash pmic pmic.bin
fastboot flash rpm rpm.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.bin
fastboot flash sdi sdi.bin
fastboot flash sec sec.bin
fastboot flash tz tz.bin
use fastboot to flash this!( when your phone is off, hold volume and plug your phone in)
If it still doesn't work extract the system .image from the kdz and download this boot.img
use this
Code:
fastboot flash system system.image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Thanks for responding

I will download the files and flash them.
But, hope it won't sim-lock the phone, cuz i don't use or own a verizon sim card. Even if it does, is there any known free Verizon sim-unlock method.....???? This is the only fear i have.
The phone has vs986s written on its motherboard, am sure of it. Thanks..

Nope those files have nothing to do with the SIM
But after you flash the boot stack you can try a costm rom like
This cypheros
Or this one lineageos
( Only if you don't have Verizon calls doesn't work on Verizon yet with these roms)
I believe that the SIM lock is with the rom its self.
I think there's a way to unlock the SIM but you don't have to worry about it if you use the custom ROMs I Link

Please don't ask why (the answer will be: "because I'm stupid"), but I relocked my bootloader and now my Swift 2 Plus won't boot anymore. When turning it on, it vibrates and the Wileyfox logo flashes for less than a second. After that the screen stays black and nothing happens. Same thing when I try to boot into recovery. I can only boot into the bootloader but I can't flash any images or unlock it again ("FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)").
Is there any way I can revive my phone or is it lost?
I think your only way is to flash twrp again with fastboot install method :
//twrp.me/devices/wileyfoxswift2.html
And then flash the stock rom :
//cyngn.com/support
hope it will helps you!
---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------
Sorry, I'm a new user so I can't post link, you've just have to ad "https" at the beginning of the line.
Thanks for answering, but I can't do that, because the bootloader is locked and protected from unlocking. I guess the only thing I can do is ask the support if they can provide the mbn and xml files that are needed for unbricking with QFIL (I can boot into edl mode as I recently found out). They probably won't but it's worth a shot.
If you use the signed zip ( not the fastboot image) the default recovery should be able to install it.
It doesn't boot to recovery. Only fastboot and edl mode work.
You could try flashing fastboot image from http://cyngn.com/support
Sent from my Swift 2 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Thanks, but that doesn't work with a locked bootloader (already tried).
It seems like the only way to revive it is with QFIL, but for doing that it needs the matching mbn and xml files that aren't included in the factory images. Wileyfox support wasn't helpful, either.

Can't we put the dirty cow bug to a use now? It should work on the phone unless it has the latest security patches, right? And with root privileges you should be able to flash a new recovery or reset the phone.:fingers-crossed:
I'm actually not sure, if I still have root privileges. It could be that I turned it off inside the SuperSU app.
I tried to flash the stock rom and that didn't work, though. Do I have to do something different than usually to flash with root privileges?

I read a little about dirty cow, now (didn't know much about it before), but if I understand it right, I need adb to upload files onto the phone, right? Sadly, adb doesn't work. Only fastboot :/
Hmmm, there is a similar thread for the Nexus 5X. You might want to check it out if you haven't already ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/nexus-5x-permanently-bricked-locked-t3232105/page2 ).
A few of the suggestions were to try with:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
or
Code:
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
I don't know if it will be of any help but it is worth a shot.
You could try to flash individual portions of the stock image like the recovery or the userdata but I doubt that it will be successful.
PS: From the thread above, for some reason removing the SIM card allowed them to enter recovery.
Thanks, but none of these solutions works. Already tried all of them a couple of times....
Hmmm, how about you try to trick it then?
Grab the official signed firmware, place it on SD Card and try with:
Code:
fastboot update <path/to/zip>
or this one to try to wipe the device? (dunno if the command is still in use, though)
Code:
fastboot -w
If this doesn't work as well, I guess it will be a waiting game for QFIL files.

I tried to flash/update every official rom (with and without -w) there is, but I never put it on an SD-card. Does that make a difference? If so, this might be one ofhe stupidest mistakes I ever made :/
I'll try in a few days. Not much time, at the moment...
Yes... Waiting for QFIL files is what I'm prepared for...
The idea with the SDCard is just a random thought. There is a slight chance to trigger the allowed update policies.
Usually you place the update.zip through adb (not possible in this situation) but placing it on the sdcard is possible.
Still, QFIL is the safest bet once someone uploads the files.

That's what I thought. Since I couldn't find any (yet), is there a way to extract the QFIL files from a working phone (I bought another one since I needed a phone)? I don't think so, but I hope I'm wrong...

Sorry, but for some reason I never saw your answer... I never found a solution either, though
how to unlock bootloader
Use fast boot to unlock the bootloader again.
connect your Swift 2 to your PC and in a command prompt type the following "fastboot oem unlock"
When you press enter, check the phone and using the volume keys you need to select yes and then press power to execute.
Your bootloader should then be unlocked again. Good Luck.
Hey all,
Since I first unlocked my 10, I've been trying to get a Lineage/CM based rom on the thing with no success. I typically get either a boot loop, or a hard reset to the HTC logo.
Unless people are just lying, CM/Lineage on the Sprint 10 should be possible as I've read many posts claiming so.
I've tried a variety of things including different versions of TWRP from 3.0.3-0 to 3.0.3-6, and multiple Lineage/CM based roms.
One supposition is that my current MM firmware is to blame. I think this may well be the issue; however, I don't know how (if it's even possible) to get my 10 to 2.** firmware, as Sprint has not released this yet.
I just S-Offed my phone, and I'm currently S-Off, Boot Unlocked.
I don't have a Windows computer, but I'm capable of using adb and fastboot. I'm also comfortable using command line tools.
Help!!! Haha, I'm so frustrated with this device!
Thanks in advance!

You need to first flash the firmware for an unlocked device. Then you can RUU back to Sprint and install LOS. @andybones made a custom firmware zip specifically for Sprint to do this.

Hey,
Thanks for your response.... I can't seem to find his Sprint specific zip. He's quite prolific!
I've found what I believe is the us Unlocked:
2PS6IMG_1.80.617.1_R_firmware.zip

Could you either point me to his zip, or could you verify that if I remove all but firmware from this zip, I should be able to accomplish the same task?
Thanks again!

I read the entire post as you recommended, and I believe I now know how to proceed.
Unfortunately, I've ran myself clear out of free time.
I'll give this a go and report back as soon as I get a few free hours again--probably Friday or so.
Thanks a million!
You guys are very welcome.
Please proceed at your own risk (as with any flashing).
I've tried to make the guide I used as clear as possible and will certainly help if anything is unclear, but keep in mind nougat wasn't out at the time it was created. I don't foresee any issues as really the main thing that is making it boot was anyone that had flashed the us unlocked firmware at any point in time, and I believe people are still converting, The guide is really flashing the us unlocked firmware then back to your (Sprint) RUU.
Woot!
This worked. I'm now running los with pico gapps and su.
Thanks all.
For anybody that follows in my path, I'm running arch linux, and the android tools package in extras was all I needed (this was a concern of mine).
I grabbed @andybones' modified vzw zip and simply changed the mid and cid to match my phone in the android text file within.
I then flashed the double modded zip.
Next, I flashed the sprint modified (recovery removed) firmware only ruu.
Los booted fine after this; however, I had no lte. So, I rebooted to boatloader, and erased modems 1 & 2.
Finally!!#?! This has been the most frustrating device I've owned to date, but I'm sitting pretty now.
Thanks again everyone!

Nice! Great to finally see some feedback from a sprint user. Wanted to try this myself before I upgrade to nougat firmware. Only thing I'm confused about is you having to erase modem 1&2. What does that mean?
For clarification I didn't end up on nougat firmware either. Sprint hasn't released that. Just nougat rom with MM firmware.
After flashing only 3G and cell signal work.
I found in another post (can't find to credit) that a possible fix was to erase modemst1 and modemst2.
To do this, reboot to bootloader.
-> adb reboot bootloader
Then use fastboot to erase modemst 1&2
-> fastboot erase modemst1
-> fastboot erase modemst2
-> fastboot reboot
Also, the lines in the android text file that need to be changed should become.
modelidnum: 2PS640000
cidnum: SPCS_001

Awesome thanks! Sprint released Nougat OTA yesterday and OMJ extracted firmware that we can flash. Sprint Nougat RUU isn't out yet though waiting for it on HTC's site. Check it out on Sprint HTC 10 XDA dev page. If you flash the firmware and everything still works fine please let me know. Should be trying this if I have time tonight. Have a lot of homework :silly:
I believe there has been a new method found that only involved flashing 1 .img from the US Unlocked firmware that will save a lot of trouble.
If I can find the post I will link it here.

I managed to break my XT1676 also, couldn't find the NPPS25.137-15-11 image either.
I ended up flashing NPP25.137-33 using RSDLite but modifying the flashing script to not flash the partition layout or the bootloader as they are older versions and got it back up and running. If you had that image on the phone previously and you have an unlocked bootloader you can do the same.
Let me know if you need more instructions.
Cheers.
Thank you for replying, raiamino.
I'd like to ask if is there any other option especially for phones with locked bootloader? I'd like to reflash my phone because it became unbelievably slow and laggy after some time. Factory reset didn't help much.
I flashed a lot of phones in the past (for example Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, Lenovo S60...) but this phone really surprises me about flashing. I found a lot of custom ROMs here on xda and I was thinking about flashing some also, but I'm a little bit scared of it - I don't know, which one is compatible and which isn't (nowhere is written if is custom ROM built for 2/16, 3/16, SingleSIM, DualSIM... variant). I need Moto Gestures feature (really useful thing for me) also, but don't know, if any custom ROM supports it. Do you know about any which will not cause brick (or hard brick) if I will flash it? Thx in advance.
Btw, sorry for bad English, but it's not my native language. Greetings from little big country - Slovakia.

you can do the following - warning it will erase everything on internal storage including photos music downloads documents etc - backup to sd card or laptop first if you want to keep these things
put phone into fastboot mode and connect to laptop
In a terminal/command prompt window assuming you have fastboot installed type the following
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
When you restart your phone it will be like the first time you switched it on (albeit with upgraded firmware version)
LineageOS supports moto gestures - For me they all work except shake to open camera app but you can set it to open with a double press of the power button
Flashing a custom rom designed for your phone will not hard brick it as it will never touch the bootloader so you will always be able to enter fastboot mode
Of course you can soft brick which means it either bootloops or you cant access recovery if you don't follow the correct process but you can solve that just by repeating the process correctly
All right, I will give it a try at evening (not enough time right now). So If I will do the fastboot command...
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
...what will happen? Is it the same procedure as factory reset + wipe cache?

yes but it also wipes everything on internal storage data partition
A reset + wipe cache will format data but not user data (things that are stored on internal storage such as pictures music documents downloads)
It does not format system or anything else
Thank you, it helped a lot! :highfive:
EDIT: what's difference between erase and format in fastboot? Would something bad happen if i do format command instead of erase?

Iv no idea - it will either give an error unknown command or do something
erase userdata is the correct use
Hello,
I have the same phone and like to download the stock rom first before flashing a custom one (RR e.g.). I can't find anywhere a download for this version's custom rom yet. Is there any way to save the stock rom out of the still unmodified phone?
Thanks for your help!
Bro.. check this.. npps is for xt 1676 ( Europe, Turkey ) and npp is for xt 1677 ( India) . Both are dual sim 3gb version phones.. just may be customization difference. Hopefully all modem bands may work.
Npps or xt 1676 unfortunately dont have version above 25.137-15 ( which is an older firmware from what u have ) , so never flash it.
But npp have higher version 72/76/82.
Just in case u are not confident enough avoid gpt, and bootloader flashing.
Btw.. if you have messed up ur bootloader ( cant boot into fastboot) .. i think give these files a try.. btw.. you have nothing to loose since u have messed up pretty bad with bootloader.
This is the only last try till Oreo upadate ( if moto ever release it for g5)
Btw.. if u get successful.. please share.
https://www.clangsm.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=482933
---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------
And if u are worried about modem ( which may cause wifi /signal issue) avoid flashing modem or try flashing old modem from npps25.137-15 ( the file is available in same directory) you can use the modem file only for flashing )
I mean.. first flash the complete npp25.137-76 ( i choose that file because its non branded ) .. after successful boot, check wifi and sim.
If everything is ok.. use the same..
If you have problems with wifi or sim..
Use modem file from npps 25.137-15 and flash modem partion only.
Or completely avoid all trial and error methods. And just flash npp25-137-76 with out flashing modem , bootloader, gpt, - its just like flashing a new kernel and system.. everything except system and kernel will remanin the same.
The method works only if u have a working bootloader. If its not there.. there is no way to trial and error things.. till u courageously flash the bootloader and gpt from npp version..
Hope you will get something.

Currently.. my xt1676 is working with August security update ( npps - 25.137-72-4 ) rooted, unlocked.. i am trying hard to mess it up.. unfortunately twrp backup helps me to unbrick few times!! But soon or later i will manage to mess it up!!!???
Only then i will give these files a try... ( Or atlest till pixel 2 comes to retailer near by) . For now this is my backup phone after selling s7 edge.
This is just 2 weeks old.. and i manage to mess its os 5-6 times till now.. so i think i will be joining your club soon
Just the same phone as yours..2 weeks old.. but its alive till now.

Hi. Sorry for bumping an old thread but I thought it was better then to make a new one.
I bought this phone a few days ago and it had NPPS25.137-72-4 when delivered. Been trying to read up a bit on this device but since I'm used to samsung, it all takes a while to figure things out
Got it unlocked/rooted fine, but I want to make sure I have something to fall back on in case of trouble.
I've been searching for this fw without any luck. Any chance some one got it and can share it?
NPPS25.137-72-4
Or if anyone can suggest a different one that could work. ( I don't really understand the fw names yet)
Thanks in advance.

There's no flash able zips of stock ROMs here unfortunately. Weird for me too since I was Samsung through and through. Take a back up of your own ROM via TWRP or you can use the debloated stock ROM by Fedray on the ROM forum.

Thanks for your answers.Thats actualy first thing I did after flashing twrp to have a clean backup of system and boot.
I also made a few partition backups in terminal, like persist, oem, modem and a few others so hopefully I'm fine.
Do you guys know if I can take stock recovery from lower version fw in case I would ever need it again?
I highly doubt I ever will, but just in case
Edit: If anyone needs a system/boot backup of this fw, just let me know and I'll upload it.

So i kinda ****ed up on trying to install a custom rom, dint make a backup and had wrong bootloader for the rom i had planned. After trying different things to fix it. it went from bad to worse ( i think) and now im stuck in the fastboot menu. TWRP cannot boot up, it has error messages but it go's away fast so i cant see them.
Can i still recover my phone?

I did one a couple days ago with an old A to micro cable and a cheap ($3 for 5) Micro female to C male adapter that I got on ebay. Worked fine. Other than that I have no ideas. Sorry. I understand there may be some need to have cables with 56K ohm resisters if used for charging, but I don't have any of those yet - still using old stuff.

Yay!!! cable!!! Who would have guessed!! Thanks @okaban !!!
Which one you choose depends mostly on which country or area you are in because flashing one from another country will mess things up (wrong radio frequencies). Then choose the latest one - never one earlier than where you were at. So what country/area are you in? and I'll try to help you choose.

Lots of questions for you to answer in here so read till end before start!
Okay. We need an expert (someone in Netherlands who has done it!!!)
I was thinking you were reteu and this post would agree
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72013707&postcount=126
though not totally certain.
The only rom I see for reteu is 24-104-25 which if you d/l and expand it (which I did) is 6.0.1 .
- - - - -
I didn't ask - are you able to boot to stock now?
- - - - - - -
Back to first post, you say you got error messages from twrp when you tried to flash a custom ROM. This would be typical if you were still on 6.x bootloader. and trying to flash a custom 8.x ROM.
So:
1) Had you ever updated stock (ota) to nougat?
2) did you go to motorola and unlock bootloader?
if no to update and yes to unlock, let's take @mijing 's idea and reflash TWRP, though I am going to suggest you go back in time a bit and flash this one:
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120744582
That one will work for flashing 7.x custom ROMs and is the one I am using at the moment. It will not deal with 8.x custom ROMs but we can easily deal with that later.
To flash TWRP:
boot to fastboot on phone
connect via (good ) cable
On PC in terminal
To temporarily boot this recovery: (substitute actual name of TWRP you downloaded)
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Don't reboot:
use vol up/dn to step to recovery and press power and see if it in fact boots to TWRP.
If it does, then boot back to bootloader and
To permanently flash it: again substitute correct name of img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
If that works that should get you going for flashing 7.x custom ROMs,
though if you want stock you would have to take a CHANCE and RSD that one above. If that works you would still have to flash TWRP. It would NOT affect your bootloader-unlock status.

You're welcome! and thanks to @mijing !!!!!!
Wow - we got much further than I thought! Good work!!!
No, I believe you have a MM B/L,
The problem with the 7.x bootloader mod is that once you apply it I believe you can never RSD lite back to 6.0.1 or you will brick your phone and need to send it to Moto for blankflash. Course you may decide that's a moot point.
I don't know if LinOS 14 (7.x) needs a 7.x bootloader - I think I was wrong - I think it may indeed. LinOS 14 should be a good one for you to play with and should flash fine with that TWRP. I also highly recommend
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/development/rom-aospextended-rom-v4-6-amulyax-t3735010
which I flashed yesterday and love.
Both those should flash fine with the Deh TWRP you have on.

So adb devices doesnt let me see my device. but adb sideload works. only problem is, is: This package supports bootloaders: 0xc105, 0xC106, 0xC107, 0xC112, 0xC113 and this device has bootloader 0xc014. do i need an older version then or what should i do?
i just found this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74069195&postcount=91, is that a good thing for me to do?
Hello guys, so after spending a lot of time doing research on which partitions to extract to flash. I found out that the partitions on the link did the trick. I have 2 Sprint V50 same model one is rooted, the other is not, made the backup with Qfil from the non rooted and flashed those onto the rooted, that did the trick. Only use Qfil to flash partitions, do not use TWRP, it'll fail and your data will be erased to get it to work again!
The files are the one's I used, so I upload those to you guys! Hope it helps someone, if you have a doubt, just ask I'll be happy to help.
When I have some time I'll try to make a guide of it. If a new update arrives I'll update this post with the new files!
PARTITIONS 20N - Google Drive

thx bro.
Strange I've never had any issue with flashing these in TWRP as long as I clear data/userdata. Then again I prefer starting fresh on a new OTA.
Thanks

But... My phone won't go into download mode any longer. It did prior to the restore service. Also, I was not able to locate a kdz image for this phone.... Only the international version. Any ideas on how to restore download mode and flash a custom rom?

What happens when you try to boot download mode? I'm not sure which kdz you are looking for. If it is sprint, I recommend looking for the v50 sprint backup files shared on xda. It isn't kdz, but result should be more or less the same.
Since the original link is dead, I've mirrored the files in case anyone needs them:
V450PM20n

Nowadays, I can only connect via Wi-Fi calling while the cellular connection no longer works, so I'm guessing that T-Mobile is doing some IMEI-based blocking on their end.

Hello guys, so after spending a lot of time doing research on which partitions to extract to flash. I found out that the partitions on the link did the trick. I have 2 Sprint V50 same model one is rooted, the other is not, made the backup with Qfil from the non rooted and flashed those onto the rooted, that did the trick. Only use Qfil to flash partitions, do not use TWRP, it'll fail and your data will be erased to get it to work again!
The files are the one's I used, so I upload those to you guys! Hope it helps someone, if you have a doubt, just ask I'll be happy to help.
When I have some time I'll try to make a guide of it. If a new update arrives I'll update this post with the new files!
