Problem with Z2 Force Calls - Moto Z2 Force Questions & Answers

Well, when i try to make or receive a call the phone not response, the phone take H+ as signal in that moment, but the signal drops.
When I try to call does not even get to dial, just runs out of tone and hangs after 30 seconds,
This started shortly after trying to customize my cellualr with andromeda when I modified the layers, my cell phone was reset every 5 minutes until it reached a bootloop from which it came out only forcing off with vol - and power button.
I remove the layers, uninstall andromeda and I stop having that problem, but a few days later I realized that I could no longer link calls. I'm almost sure that caused it
Today just as I got up I was determined to do the formatting process
i Installed the global version of android 8.0 which is what I had previously.
I set the phone and surprise, I could link call, I proceeded to turn it off to put twrp and magisk since I am very fan of having my system completely modified.
The second surprise of the day comes when installing TWRP told me the post that I had to give in format data, so that my data was not encrypted.
This caused my system to be deleted and when I installed Magisk and rebooted for obvious reasons, I was sent to bootloop.
I reloaded the system and it does not let me link calls again.
I really surrendered to this situation, I did the process of fasboot with the system a couple of times more to see if it worked like the first time, but I still have the problem.
The cell pohne is released from the company and is from Telcel Mexico.
It is in its compilation free of company with android 8.0, I have no problem with loss of imei or base band. I have all the services of my sim least calls.
mobile data 4G lte, I can receive and send messages, only calls I have this case, the motorola support team as always a few potatoes, that's why I come here where there are people with more knowledge to see if someone has an answer to my problem
Sorry if i dont write well in english but it isnt my 1st language

If you have the firmware for your phone, you should do a clean install, then factory reset after the install. Boot it, do a quick setup, don't set any lock screen security until after you have flashed twrp and rooted.

I did that, I actually deleted the whole system from twrp and installed the firmware by fastboot, and at the end it still does not work u.u

No, not like that. Do you have a complete flashall? If you have a complete firmware for your phone with a flashall, use it to go to a clean stock setup, not a hybrid mix and match.

Help - Galaxy Tab S 10.5 Bootloop Out of Nowhere

So...
Last week, my wife's Tab S went into a bootloop. She runs complete stock, we haven't rooted, or anything. There had been a notification about an update, but she hadn't touched it. She'd updated to Lollipop at some point last year, but hadn't applied the absolute latest update. One day last week, she just turned it on, and it started bootlooping.
Because it was so stock, there were no backups, no nandroids, or anything like that. No Custom Recovery. I told her "well, we can just do a factory reset. You'll lose everything, but once we get you back up and running, it'll just re-download everything from the Goog." So we factory reset it. Looked good for a minute, booted into the first screen, enter in your Wi-Fi password, all that. As soon as we got the Wi-Fi password entered, however, it re-booted. And keep rebooting. Bootloop city. No problem. I walked her through (over the phone) using Odin to flash the latest Lollipop firmware. No dice. It appeared to flash successfully, but still bootlooped.
Over the weekend, I tried using Kies to flash the most official firmware I could find. Everything was successful -computer recognized the device, was able to download "direct from the source," as it were, but it got stuck at 69% twice before failing. I read somewhere that one had to run Kies in administrator mode to get it to successfully complete. So I did, and it got past 69%, successfully completing the flash. STILL NO LUCK. STILL WITH THE BOOTLOOPS.
Last night, I realized that I hadn't flashed in Odin using Administrator Mode. Tried it, using latest 5.0.2 (XAR-Cellular South). Flashed successfully, all appeared well. Still bootlooped.
So, I'm stuck. I can get into recovery, I can get into Download Mode, I can successfully flash. I just can't get the darn thing booted.
Thoughts, anyone? Should I try flashing a Custom ROM? How hard is that using Odin? Thanks in advance.
Ok this will take a few tries but here is my method of dealing with this situation
1) Flash stock using Odin
2) AS SOON AS the screen goes blank, start holding Power+Volume Up+Home
3) When recovery boots, release the buttons
4) Use the volume buttons to select "Wipe data/factory reset"
5) Press power to confirm
6) Reboot
If that doesn't work, you may either:
1) (more likely) Installing a ROM will fix the problem
2) (unlikely but possible) You might have worn NAND pages, which I doubt but could cause this behavior.

Thanks, I'll try these steps tonight when I get home, and report back!
All right, here's something interesting. Before I tried your first step, I remembered that the other night, I left it stuck at the Samsung logo -it was just kind of stuck there, and since the behavior was a little different than I'd seen before (not continuous bootlooping), I thought I'd boot into recovery and wipe. I did, I wiped (factory reset), and rebooted. The tablet booted into the first screen, Accessibility/Wi-Fi, blahblah. This was where it usually rebooted. On a hunch, I bypassed entering in my WiFi key. I then bypassed almost everything else (Samsung account, Google account, etc.), expecting that the tablet would reboot at any moment. But I made it to the front apps page, where it shows you the side-launcher, the Magazine-Flipboard thingie, and whatnot. Wi-Fi still not connected, though. I opened up the app drawer, and scrolled around. Looked really good for a moment. I even took a picture with the camera, and viewed it in Gallery! Feeling brave, I thought, "well, maybe it just needed a couple of minutes before firing up the radio." So I went into settings, and inputted my WiFi key. It connected. And rebooted into its bootloop. (getting so tired of that boot-sound).
Went ahead and flashed the most original stock firmware I could find. As always, flashed successfully. As soon as it booted, I made my way to recovery, and wiped, per your instructions. No luck. Bootloop again.
It's something in the WiFi is what I've come to think as a result of the above. Which I don't entirely understand, as I thought the radio got re-flashed with the firmware.
I'm ready to try flashing a Custom Rom. Can I do that through Odin, or should I try and flash TWRP, and do it through there? Will TWRP flash without a working (bootable) OS?
All right. Thanks for your response!
Try this as a test.
First make a full backup of every partition with twrp including the EFS <<IMPORTANT!
Get it booting again without wifi then root the device and delete the EFS folder or delete it in recovery.
Reboot the device and try and enable wifi.

Got TWRP installed. Won't backup. Fails at 16% (system partition, I think). Just powers down to battery indicator in the middle of the backup. Looks like it backs up the EFS, though, since it's the first one. And when I go into TWRP's Restore option, there's a backup there (though I don't dare try and restore it).
Now I have to figure out a way to get the Custom ROM and GAPPS I downloaded onto the tablet without a reliable boot... It's gotten to the front screen a time or two tonight, but starts looping even when I bypass the WiFi setup.
Entered adb/TWRP interface. Tried to push two files, a Custom ROM file, and a GAPPS file. The ROM failed, with some sort of "Error 7," incompatible data, blahblah... Just out of curiosity, I tried to push the GAPPS file, and that failed after about 6%, and the tablet powered off.
I'm running out of ideas.
copied a custom rom to a USB/OTG stick (thumbdrive), and plugged it in. Fired up TWRP, tried to install. Wouldn't. Wouldn't install GAPPS, either. Looks like the only way it wants to flash anything is through ODIN or KIES.
The Latest...
All right...
I remembered that sometimes the TWRP version mattered. When I installed TRWP last night, I installed the latest and greatest, 3.0.2. Last night after I gave up, I remembered that sometimes, the latest and greatest TWRP doesn't install things perfectly. So, this morning, I downloaded TWRP 2.8.6-ish onto the USB/OTG device, and re-flashed the recovery partition. To be honest, I was surprised that TWRP was even able to flash that (but the TWRP image is only like 9.8 MB, so...)...
Got TWRP 2.8.6.0 flashed, and rebooted into TWRP. Immediately decided to try and re-flash the custom ROM that I'd tried unsuccessfully to flash last night, since the thumbdrive was still plugged in. Resurrection Remix Lollipop. Lined up GAPPS in the queue, as well. The ROM *appeared* to flash better than it had in TWRP 3.0.2, but it was sort of hard to see... GAPPS failed, and I was prepared to watch another round of bootloops. It did bootloop, sort of. The RR splash screen appeared, said that it was installing (or preparing) xx out of XX apps. Then, it rebooted. I figured it was doing its bootloop thing. However, it got to the same screen, "installing xx out of XX apps. Except that XX number had gone down, and the xx number had gone up. It repeated this action about 4 times --the last time I saw it reboot, it was "installing 1 out of 2 apps." And then...?
It booted into the RR lockscreen.
Of course, there were no GAPPS. In fact, there are something like only 20 apps total on the tablet. But it appears somewhat stable at the moment. (See picture).
Afraid to try and connect WiFi, afraid that it'll just bootloop.
Speaking of bootloop. At one point, once we got it booted, my wife hit an option in the Settings. LCD Density, I believe. As soon as she hit it (she literally just placed her finger over the 320 default option), the tablet rebooted. No loop, though. Rebooted straight back to the RR lockscreen.
So I appear to have a somewhat stable OS flashed onto the tablet at the moment. No GAPPS, though. No WiFi.
Anybody have a suggestion on where to go from here? I have my doubts as to whether or not I can even back up this configuration.
Sorry about all the updates. I kind of figured that if *anyone* else ever goes through what I'm going through, they'll have some sense of all the different things that can be tried in resurrecting a bricked/bootlooping device. I appreciate everyone's efforts to date -thank you so much, @Lightn1ng and @ashyx.
All right, because I can't leave well enough alone....
I got WiFi up and working. Tablet still stable and working. Wheeeee.... No GAPPS, though.
Downloaded GAPPS, second-smallest package from opengapps- only 128M (5.1 ARM package). Downloaded it in Android, from the tablet! Tried to flash it in TWRP. Failed, tablet rebooted halfway (not even) through. Now it's bootlooping again...
I should've left well enough alone, and waited for someone. Have tried re-installing Resurrection Remix, but tablet keeps failing to flash. Might have to try and flash a different TWRP. I don't know...
Have you tried another Gapps? Also, is this the WiFi only model or the LTE model we're talking about?

It's the WiFi-only model - SM-T800.
It's kind of weird. I thought it might be some sort of internal memory problem (like the worn Nand pages you mentioned), since almost anything I try to do in TWRP fails (although I was able to flash an entire Custom ROM the one time AND get it booted) -but backing up isn't working, whether it's to internal/external SD. And the fact that I can flash perfectly (subjective term there) well using Odin or Kies tells me that whatever problems the tablet is having, something's getting through.
I'll try a different GAPPS package. Right now, though, TWRP isn't letting me flash hardly anything, and moving files back and forth on this thing is just awful.
AGH - I was so close!

Maybe somebody else with a T800 could backup their entire EMMC using
Code:
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/full_nand_dump.bin
And you take the file on your tablet and do
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/full_nand_dump.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0
And restore YOUR efs folder using TWRP.
THIS IS A DANGEROUS OPERATION AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG!

@ashyx Any more ideas before I go ahead with my evil world domination plan to recover this device?
I wouldnt carry out any risky operations until a full backup can be made with twrp or you may end up with an unrecoverable device.
If twrp cannot backup the system partition then there is an issue with the partition.
Try backup again and post the recovery log, it may contain some relative information.
I have the same issues and have tried eveything. I was rooted and running the latest Pheonix rom on my sm-t800. Last Wednesday (8-10) I starting getting boot loops out of nowhere, no new apps nothing just a daily driver. I've been through everything on here and have gone back to bone stock but to no avail, the boot loops just keep coming. I can connect to wifi and get things set up but if I try to use anything more than 'light usage' the tab starts its boot loops again and rows fits for about 10 minutes and always different timing on the boot. Sometimes it will make it to the Samsung logo, sometime only to Tab S and sometimes about 10 seconds of usage.. I know this isn't helping much but wanted to let you know there are more of us with the same problem. Will be blab to try anything to help said issue.
Exactly the same issue on my LTE version.
Samsung support just asked me 230€ for a new motherboard.
I refused to repair. I think it is related to nand memory..
Hello I have both the 8.4" and 10.5" I updated the 8.4" to Android 5.02 nothing but boot loops my other is still on 442 and I wont be updating it as its working fine. I have been reading a few posts and the problem was right in front of me all the time I have 2 internet connections 2.4 GHZ and 5.0 GHZ if I connect to the 5.0 GHZ I get boot loops but if I stay on 2.4 GHZ no problems what so ever so I may just install a custom rom and my 10.5 tab and stay clear of the faster internet.

sw3 on Lollipop pairs with phone but does not connect with wear

I fixed (to a certain degree) a bootlooped watch by installing a stock Lollipop Rom. It does not work though, because watch cannot connect with Android wear and therefore not complete installation. (It does pair up with the phone and says wait a minute) Any suggestions?

Our watches must be brothers as I have had the exact same scenario. I did however get it back going to LP, paired, etc to the smartphone. What I had to do was fastboot format cache, then userdata, then fastboot reboot. I then fastboot flash the .simg file, the recovery.img file and the boot.img file, then fastboot reboot. I then connected to XC which did not work all the way through, but gave me access to be able to use twrp.img (for some reason, twrp would not boot in LP). Then in twrp I adb pushed the LP rom that is signed and after pushed, installed it. Then, I had to leave it alone for the battery drain as it was locked up or something. After it drained, which was evident because it was not warm, I charged it and it is now working again...but only in LP. I cannot get MM installed.
IF you happen to get MM installed and working, please advise your steps.

Thank you for your reply. I will certainly let you know of any progress. The procedure I followed was somewhat more simple. I flashed the twrp with fastboot, booted twrp up, transferred the downloaded rom image from the pc to the watch and booted the rom from twrp. It then starts up but fails to play with wear.

Regarding the pairing with phone, I had to go in the phone settings, application manager, open android wear, and clear the data and cache in order for it to recognize my watch. I had previously had it linked to another phone and had the phone connected to a different watch so I think it was getting confused.
Regarding getting past the 5.0.1 update, I have found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch-3/orig-development/tut-how-to-fix-swr50-fastboot-t3258918 and am currently getting OTA updates as I write. I don't know how far I will get, but so far I have had two updates. I did not flash the updates, only the original rom. Then I went into the watch settings, about, and pressed the software or system update (I've been doing it manually each time).
Edit: It allowed me to update all the way to MM, however I got the 4 dots /symbols again when it was rebooted. Up to that point, which the last update was the LCA43, the watch appeared to be working fine. I did not test it much as I was just trying to get all the updates I could. So, while it did not go all the way thru to MM, I still was very happy that I got up to that update.

I now succeeded in pairing up with the phone. What I did was to flash another Rom which I found in the forum. It's called ROM_SW3_5.1.1.2_LCA43. Now the watch works just fine on Lollipop and updates automaticly. I am going to try and upgrade to MM but I fear its going to get stuck on the infamous four symbols when I do. I am happy though to have the watch up and running again, it was deemed paperweight for a while
Ok stuck again. Still at Lollipop version 5.1.1.2

Indeed it does. The Rom comes from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch-3/orig-development/rom-sony-smartwatch-3-rom-t3367728
Since the problem occurs only when updating to MM I am led to think that we have a kernel issue?

I may have stopped updating one to early. Anyway, my watch updated by itself last night all the way to MM, now it is stuck again. I'll have to search and see if there is a way to stop the automatic OTA updates.
I have seen where people have flashed only the kernel. I have not. At this point, it would be nice just to keep it at the last LP. I'll let you know if I find anything. Thanks.

Crosshatch Issue With ROMs & TWRP. Strange Occurrences

Ok, So Here's The Deal.. The Thing.. The WTF
So I had an older version of the Scorpion ROM installed and working fine for a while and wanted to change it up. I downloaded the newest TWRP. Both image and installer.zip, newest Magisk and RR 7.
I flashed the latest stock and you know, followed all the proper steps and after I flashed RR 7, it wouldn't boot up. (Not the issue) as others have had the same issue with RR 7. I left a post about that on the RR 7 thread and went about reflashing stock and proceeded to find a different ROM to check out.
No matter what I try to flash: Lineage, Scorpion, RR 7, dotOS the same thing happens... Everything flashes like it should, but then it won't boot, AND THEN every time I boot back to TWRP to try something else the haptic feedback vibration thing on the pixel 3 xl goes banana sandwich crazy and won't shut off until I reboot to fastboot to flashall to start over. LOL
And not only that but when I jump back to TWRP to try to flash something else stored on the phone, it says the storage is empty and there are nothing available in the menu. And I couldn't get a screenshot but there were some errors that have popped up in twrp as well...
Could This Be An Issue WITH TWRP itself? Because it does it with every single ROM I have flashed today. It's very strange. I have never ran into any issues like this when flashing ROMs, Kernals, etc.
I'm lost. Any help would be awesomely appreciated.
UPDATE: It now vibrates constantly in TWRP and when I reflashed to factory it did the corrupt software screen so I gave it a good ole' factory rest and then it was is stuck in a loop at the G while conecting and disconnecting to the USB over and over and over... now back to corrupt software screen.
I guess I'm just going to have to reflash Stock and just leave it.
Update 2: Still Give The Corrupt Software Thing After Performing FlashAll - soooooooooooooooo

Couple of things. Yes there was an issue with v3.2.3-4 TWRP and the vibrator, but that is separate from your boot issues. Go to the dedicated TWRP thread. As for your updates, 1) an FDR just deletes your data and so would not solve your issue. and 2) Guessing you removed the -w switch from the flash-all script or you would not be getting the corrupt software screen. Run the script again with the wipe switch in place, allowing it to wipe your partitions and start over. You've already deleted all your data with the FDR so it won't matter. Best of luck!
Always late to the party.

As for your updates, 1) an FDR just deletes your data and so would not solve your issue. and 2) Guessing you removed the -w switch from the flash-all script or you would not be getting the corrupt software screen. Run the script again with the wipe switch in place, allowing it to wipe your partitions and start over. You've already deleted all your data with the FDR so it won't matter. Best of luck!

So yeah... I just now logged back on and saw your response [I have had notification issues on everything from Reddit to FB since I have had the 3XL]
About the response, I have had the issue with it showing the corrupt software screen a bunch when flashing new stuff. The reason I perform the Factory Slap is because it allows me to enter the menu where I have the option to "Boot from ADB" or whatever it says, sideloading seems to be the only way I can make progress when it starts giving the corrupt error.. The reason I didn't perform the full wipe but I can't remember exactly why now since that was over a month ago.
But I finally got it fixed, and I was going to repost because I had found a way to prevent the vibration thing from happening in TWRP but by the time I got around to posting, the new update had fixed it. Lol

Android 10 - Factory reset needed?

Hello, everyone!
I just installed Android 10 onto my Pixel 3 XL a couple of hours ago and I've noticed battery drain and some lag. Is a factory reset suggested at this point, since I flashed a new Android version?
Edit:
I had animations removed under "Accessibility" and I toggled it back on, then I turned Dev. Options on and switched animations to .5x and the problem seems to have went away. I'll have to update you all on battery life later. Still, the question remains... Is a reset suggested?
I just also did the ota update and now my pixel 3xl is stuck on a Google splash screen. Did I just somehow brick my phone?

Were you on the latest beta before the update? My update file was only 5.5mb. Went pretty quickly.
is it worth factory resetting device with this latest update?

No, if you used the ota through phone, google would of already done maintenance before the install, ie, removed incompatible apps settings and features.
Has anyone flashed the factory image? If so what one did you use. I can't flash the the 10 factory image. The only was I can get it is to flash the Pie factory image, and then take the OTA. Not sure why I get an error every time I try to flash 10.

This happened to me too. After about five bootloops I finally got it to boot, but it booted back to B6, and the update said it couldn't install. I tried again, and all went well the second time.

Ive tried the update 3 times now and every time it has been stuck at the boot. I would have to turn off and try to restart around 3-5 times for it to go back to Android Pie. So still unable to update to Android 10.
Ill try it one more time later and see if maybe they changed the update a bit

I don't know if this had anything to do with it but I disabled my ad blocker and I cleared all recent apps and then when I tried it the second time it worked so maybe make sure everything is clear and you have no ad blocker enabled.
For small updates like monthly security patches or version increases of 0.1 or 0.0.1 I usually don't worry about doing a clean install since the changes are usually pretty minimal. For large updates I like to do a clean install just for piece of mind that all the crap that built up on my phone over the past year is gone, to eliminate the general issues that pop up with dirty installs, and having a squeaky clean fresh install just feels nice once in a while.

I updated 9->10 like I normally do each month by dirty flashing the full image (not full OTA) so I would say you do not need to do a factory reset. I did not previously install any of the betas. Although the install took longer and was different (fastbootd) it completed and booted to system the first time. It may just be time for a fresh install, meaning leave the wipe flag in the flash-all script and let it erase your user data.

I was doing a complete wipe.
(Update) I finally got it to do a full factory image flash with a complete wipe. The only thing I changed was, I switched from Slot B to Slot A. Not sure if that was even the issue, but It worked, and now My Pixel 3XL is running really well. No issues that are being reported.

i didnt install any 3rd party ad-blocker apps on the phone before... if there is any, it would be google's out of box one... i doubt they have one out of the box.
Im too nervous to do this update again only for it to brick again right now

Suit yourself, but if your adb/fastboot binaries are all up to date (July 2019) and you are flashing the full image (not the OTA image), then you should have no issues at all. There are many guides on how to do this properly and the procedure is no different now than with 9. Also, there is no "change" coming to make the install smoother because there is nothing to fix. If your bootloader is unlocked this phone is virtually un-brickable.

No, but you do need an unlocked bootloader. If you are unlocked go ahead and flash the full image. Be sure to do a version check of your adb/fastboot. Sometimes you can get into trouble if you have old versions in a different location. You need to be sure you are running version 29.0.2 (July 2019). If you did not lose all your user data on past attempts, do a dirty flash (removing the -w flag from the flash-all.bat file). If you already lost your data, then just run the script as-is. GL.
Edit: If you were trying to update 9->10 using an OTA, that is probably your issue. The full image will properly reformat your file system for 10.

Question February Update caused my phone to reboot all the time

Had absolutely no issues with my Pixel 6 Pro on the January update but as soon as I installed the February update my phone reboots so much when the screen is off. When I'm using it, there are no issues. The second I turn off the screen, it reboots. Then it'll reboot 5 more times before I can even unlock my phone. Then I'll turn the screen off and it'll reboot again. It must have rebooted around 500 times last night.
Is there a fix for this? Or a step by step guide on how to install the January update over the February one?
How did you install it? I'd wipe it and reinstall with the android flashtool

I don't think you need a unlocked bootloader to sideload just USB debugging enabled if you wanted to try a full wipe. Maybe try factory reseting from settings - I'm going on the assumption that the bootloader isn't unlocked

You can't downgrade once you've upgraded. It's best if you backup your data and try starting fresh on the February build to see if it causes any issues.
Use the flash tool and make sure both partitions are formatted and try again.
Did you do any modifications to your phone that could have caused the random reboots?

I have done absolutely no modifications other than typical downloading of apps and modifying through there but even that is just theming. By "try again," just wipe and then reinstall the update?

The random reboot bug seems to be a problem with Android 12. I haven't yet seen any clues as to the reason why.
Sometimes it's caused by a backup, sometimes by an update, some claim it's because of a hardware failure.
I experienced the same when I got my Pixel 6 Pro out of the box - about 2 random reboots per day, I had to get a replacement device to fix that.
My Pixel 3 also has the random reboot problem right after I updated it to Android 12, just like you said - every couple minutes, even though it reboots BOTH when in active usage AND when the screen is off. I have not yet tinkered with the device to find the reason, since I don't need that phone (anymore).
As a last resort, if you don't want to lose data on reseting the device, my advice would be to:
Download the latest OTA to your PC & sideload it in recovery mode (hold vol down before screen comes on, upon reboot). That will re-flash all important blocks & will boot you from the opposite partition (A/B) but keep your data/apps, hopefully fixing whatever the issue is in the process.

I'd be happy with 2 random reboots per day. Not even kidding, I must be at 100 a day. It's super random too. None from 9 am until around 1pm and then all of a sudden 10 in a row.
I'm pretty sure it's a software issue, had no random reboots before I installed the February update. Will probably try reformatting the entire phone first and see how that goes.

Thanks, will try this out if a reformat doesn't work.
Try safe mode and see if it still happens.

Still happened in safe mode.
I would honestly try a complete wipe and fresh install of the OS to see if it still happens. If it does you could get it RMAd since it could be hardware related.

By "wipe and fresh install" do you mean reformatting it normally through the phone (like if I was returning a used phone)? Or is it as Daniel suggested above?
