Sprint to verizon stuck with roaming - Moto Z2 Force Questions & Answers

Hey guys, I bought a sprint z2 force used, was already rooted and unlocked bootloader. Updated everything and did
Using twrp reboot back into twrp.
Using the file manager in TWRP go find the files --> persist, then rfs, then msm, then mpss, then datablock, and now id_00, then below you will see option to choose chdmod, then type 0000
Reboot the phone back into fastboot.
Now flash each command
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2

To get it working on verizon. I can put my sim in and get texts and such, seems to work, shows Verizon in the status bar..but seems to permanently have the little "roaming" triangle. The APN shows VZNWINTERNET, resetting and re selecting does nothing, though I notice that almost none of the info is actually filled out.
Thinking I messed something up, I flashed back to stock, but with Verizon firmware, then redid the above. Same situation.
Is there a solution to this?

[Q] Boot Loop after attempting to unlock bootloader (VZW)

deleted
AkyrXX said:
So I was attempting to unlock the bootloader using GNex Toolkit, which I now know I never should have done. After supposingly unlocking the bootloader, the Google screen would show up for about 10, then the phone would reboot itself. I decided to let it run its course and see if it would fix itself, but after doing this for about 30 minutes, I figured it wasn't going anywhere. So that's when I (also against my now better judgement) tried to relock/OEM restore using GNex toolkit. Well it wouldn't unlock, and the boot issue still exists. So then I started digging, and found efrant's wonderful guide on restoring my apparently soft-bricked device. However, even this did not fix the issue. I have tried locking the bootloader through fast boot, and while it will say that the bootloader has been locked, upon restart it was still unlocked and still having the boot issues. I even ventured as far as doing a ODIN reboot, but still same issue. I have since tried efrant's again, but still the same issues. I have access to fastboot and ODIN, and recovery, although I have not messed around there too much as I have not been able to find any information about that. At this point, I am all out of ideas on what to do. Just some last bits of info.
I was doing this all on a very freshly installed Jelly Bean update. This particular phone has never been rooted or unlocked. I don't really care about having it rooted or unlocked at this point, I just want a working phone.
Please feel free to make any remarks toward my past actions of using toolkits, as I have now since found the light, and any additional advice would greatly be appreciated.

The difficult part now is to understand where did the toolkit fail.
If you ran through the process manually again, and it still bootloops..Have you tried erasing first, then reflashing?
Code:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase recovery
also, while it's bootlooping, is logcat already running? That could allow some more insight on what's happening.

[Q] Verizon no cdma/lte - trying to return to stock for RMA

Hey everyone,
So my verizon galaxy nexus (4.3 JB rom'ed rooted/unlocked bootloader) was having issues with 3g and 4g, even after reboot sometimes it would connect to data but lately it took multiple reboots to get any kind of data.
I took it into verizon to get the sim card swapped out thinking that was the problem. They swapped out the sim and after leaving the store I noticed I couldnt make any calls/check my voicemail and my phone number under settings was 'unknown'. I went back to verizon and they suggested all the typical (hard reset, reboot, take sim card out and wait then reboot) etc. None of it worked. They wanted to do the factory reset there but since I was rooted and wanted to twrp backup and backup all sd data to my computer I told them I would do it later.
When I got home and during backing up all my stuff my phone auto dialed *22899 and after my phone number was restored and I was able to make phone calls. However no 3g or 4g data.
After that I tried to wipe cache and rom (normal typical rom flashing route) and tried to flash rom again to see if data would come back but it didnt.
I figured I would try to go back to stock using google factory image and lock bootloader (perhaps my 3g/4g data will come back) if not I will get a replacement from verizon.
I used these directions to return to stock:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-toro-primel???.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-toro-i515.????.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio-cdma radio-cdma-toro-i515.????.img (Note: This one takes a couple minutes. Be patient)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-mysid-??????.zip
While in fastboot I was able to get through all the steps except the last one where it flashes stock rom. In the command prompt line it acts like it accepts the command and 'is ready for the next command prompt line' however it doesnt actually flash anything on my phone.
Can someone please help me? Maybe with suggestions on how to get my data back or how to finish the factory rom flashing? I was going to try to use Wugs toolkit to see if it could do it for me but I didnt have enough time this morning before work to try.

Hey guys
I tried playign with the new magisk. Decided to factory reset and ran the script, and keep getting:

Any suggestions? I thought factory reset, literally reset everything...

A factory reset erases the partition where user data is stored. It does not touch any other partition. You're getting that message because the phone detects that the boot image is no longer stock. If you want to undo the changes you have made, you'll have to flash the stock Google image.
Ok, SO teh message is normal?
I flashed factory 8.0.0, and I get the same message,

I haven't had a chance to test Magisk on this phone yet (I returned mine and am waiting on the replacement) but when I've used Magisk in the past, the first boot took a really long time. Give it like 10 minutes or so. If it never makes it past that, something went wrong and you should flash the stock image.
Oh wait, you get the same message if you flash the stock image? Well in that case, I'm not sure what's wrong. You may need to re-lock the bootloader before that message goes away, but make sure you're on 100% stock software before that happens. It might have something to do with the fact that Pixel devices have A and B firmware slots, so if you bring A back to stock, B might still have the Magisk patched image on it. Someone more familiar with Pixel devices should chime in.

Well, to clarify...
I was able to get Magisk to run fine. But decided I wanted fresh stock image, so went to flash stock google image, flash went fine, but at reboot i get the same thing. could this be a slot issue?

I'm thinking so. I'm not sure what the proper procedure is for designating which slot you're flashing to on the Pixel 2's, but it's possible that you now have 1 slot with stock firmware and 1 slot with the Magisk patched image. For the original Pixel devices, the partition names were boot_a and boot_b. So I think, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, fastboot flash boot <file> will flash the file to whichever slot is active, but using boot_a and boot_b will flash to those designated slots. So to fix your issue, you need to make sure that both boot_a and boot_b contain stock images.
Keep in mind that I've never owned a Pixel before now (although I'm pretty comfortable with flashing other android devices), and I'm not 100% sure about this, so you might not want to take my advice.
relock the bootloader.
Here is what I did:
Fastboot flashing lock
fastboot flashing lock_critical
then tried running the flash-all.bat, got FAILED being it was locked
SO then I ran
Fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
ran flash-all.bat, seemed to have gone fine. Phone reboots, then after you get the circle, where it says "erasing", after about 10 seconds it reboots and says "your device is corrupt..."
Ughhh, I hope I didn't brick this thing???
sorry guys, im an ass, i thought i was using teh latest fastboot, but apparently, not
all is good. I wish I was able to delete this thread

Make sure you have the latest version of adb and fastboot from the developer site.
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
I got the message as soon as I unlocked the bootloader. It's normal
I had this issue with old platform tools and could not get my device to boot no matter how many times I flash-all'ed or changed the current boot slot. Upgrade to the latest platform tools and run the flash-all from that directory. If it's still not working, I also unlocked critical: fastboot flashing unlock_critical , so that the flash-all could flash my bootloader as well.
Like some have said already. This message appears every time you boot after you unlock your bootloader, whether you are still running stock OS or not. Same thing happened on my 6P. Only way to get it to go away is relocking the bootloader. Don't worry though, your device isn't really corrupt. Just a scare tactic by Google.

This is somewhat true. There are 2 different messages. One that says you are running unsupported software and the color is orange. This message pops up on every boot while the bootloader is unlocked. The other message says your device is corrupt, in red. The phone will not boot. I just ran into this issue while trying to flash the november update
EDIT:
I was able to resolve this by updating adb/fastboot. I updated adb/fastboot before but i guess i did it on my other computer.
So was there any way to fix this without having to relook the bootloader? I've already had to set this phone up a second time after the longest marathon session of trying to get both TWRP and magisk to live happily together on this device, so I'd rather not do it again if it's avoidable.
Literally all I did to cause this is press the button in TWRP to switch to slot A, and after rebooting I immediately got the new scarier message that requires a power button press to boot, after which you get the regular nag about the unlocked BL. The device then hung at the Google padlock screen, so I used the buttons to reboot into BL then tried TWRP. TWRP then hung at the splash screen, so I hooked up to the PC and fastboot booted TWRP. When I tried to switch back to B, strangely, it said I already was. I pressed the button to switch to B anyway, then rebooted. The error happened again, but at least the device boots. I tried rebooting again to see if it had cleared up, but unfortunately not.
I would really like to be rid of this without having to start over. I do have a nandroid but I don't even know if I trust a restore to be successful and potentially make **** worse. Thanks in advance!

Double check exact command but this worked for me.
Make sure you flash boot.img first using

I was able to switch back and forth between the slots with fastboot. I thought maybe I was getting the error because they had two different boot images installed, so I backed up my boot on side B, and then restored it to slot A. No dice. I still get the error message.

Flash boot.img first. Don't select which slot
Then reboot bootloader and fastboot active slot b

(Urgent Help!) bootloop after normal update, bootloader locked. no ADB, no OEM unlock

I recently found a moto g5 in one of my fellow "old tech" drawers and decided to turn it on, it was on the
1. May 2018
Security patch on nougat, I decided to use the inbuilt system updater to go to Oreo, and now....it crashes during flashing process after about 25-30% completion,
Now im guessing boot or System is not properly installed due to the zip file having aborted mid-flash
Recovery doesn't properly boot as that is used to install the update and thus imidiately goes to doing that
Also, it hang up during installation on random times, it basically has a record of 2mins of not crashing whilst still being stuck on 30%
I got it to "boot" when trying factory mode, yeah it crashed mid boot animation...not a help
Any suggestions? EDL mode maybe?
Can you not flash firmware via fastboot
In theory as long as firmware is signed you don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash firmware
Firmware can be downloaded from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/cedric/official/
You can also try the lenovo moto smart assistant to flash the firmware
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/guide-how-download-official-fastboot-t3916778
If not you will most likely need a motherboard replacement or jtag firmware flash at a repair shop

SOMEHOW it just decided to boot, I have never seen such behaviour, even on my g5s which I had for a while, (and am currently daily driving to school if it wasn't closed....NEVER
Maybe I'll unlock it and try somehow recreating it? Well it's in physically rough shape but all components inside are fine...so that can't be the reason....?
My g5 got stuck in a bootloop without an update, no root or anything modded. Is there any way to recover the data if its stuck like this?

Flash the stock rom and boot the device. But this will format the device.
To save data, remove the command fastboot erase userdata
Fastboot erase customisation.
Apps may be gone, but files In internal storage will be safe, like download,photos, music.

no luck on this front, gets to the passcode screen, write in passcode then motorola logo shows and screen keeps on turning off and on.
Thanks for the effort though, much appreciated
Mine is similar to yours. Initially was on permanent loop of the following:
1. Boot to moto g splash screen... Repeat
2. Boot to lock screen then usually a few loops of 1. (after entering the patter or left Idle)
The phone initially didnt have any developer options enabled.
I wiped cache using recovery mode. Restarted and pretty much the same thing except that it would on rare occasions actually fully boot up usually only last a few minutes before cycling between steps 1 and 2 above.
I used those rare boot ups to backup all files and enable any USB debugging /oem unlock (incase I need to use a solution dependent on these being enabled.)
Factory resetted it and its still the same with the random successful boot amongst the numerous failed ones.
I managed to hook it up to Lenovo's Lmsa and flash the latest ROM. Now I get a lot more successful boots but still loops every so often. The downside is that I can no longer do any functions that make use of the audio/ mic/ video (can take pictures). If I do then it will crash and loop.
The hardware test on the LMSA passed for every component before flashing to the latest version. Post update it predictably fails on the audio/ mic components.
I guess I'll have to go back to the old version to see I get the audio back.

Cant get back to factory

I'm having the same issue, so I'm gonna piggyback this in hopes of a different direction.. Long story, short, I've spent hours trying to get back to OOS from crdroid 11. the link above got me back to booting up t-mobile and relocks the bootloader, but wifi radio doesnt work & restarting brings me to being stuck on the boot logo. none of the other MSMtools work, unlocked or TMO from the unbrick page.
what step am i missing after going through the tmo to int. guide? since that's the only thing that's working.. thanks in advance, i'm attempting round 2 in the meantime.
When u r stuck on pink TMobile screen, force reboot to bootloader by holding vol+, vol-, & power buttons for 10 sec. Once you see phone rebooting, let go of power button only to enter bootloader mode. Then type "fastboot reboot fastboot" on PC while USBC cable is plugged into phone. This will kick phone into fastbootD mode. Then fastboot flash all stock rom files.
When wifi and 4g not working, u did not enter fastbootD mode, so system did not flash right

Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions
is this normal error when flashing back to stock OOS ? when the flashing starts it says this for the first 4 or 5 flashing parts then it stats flashing as described in OP. then it reboots out of fastboot and boots to stock recovery then it finishes the flashing . then at the end it says to press any key to continue and the phone reboots and hangs at the screen that lets me know the bootloader is unlock screen. i flashed both a \b partitions and still does the same thing. its like the boot image is not flashing or im missing something else in the OP to get back to stock OOS.
anyone can help me please ?
