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 boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3

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?

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.

First post your fastboot getvar here, then tell me what is the condition of your persist, imei, volte etc. Also from fatboot menu take a pic and post them also, and describe how you recovered your hard bricked device, then we can explain you. Thanks.

Bro you need to avoid this to flash, right now there is not any solution for those who are not on their persist, you will end up with no signals. So wait, I am still working on it.

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
My friend let me have his Gold Z2 Force for around $50 since my phone broke. He never used it, like new condition. Sweet.
Anyway, I am on verizon, he's on sprint so it's the Sprint Variant. I was searching around before I bought it, and I heard that I could unlock the bootloader for this specific model of the phone as opposed to the Verizon one which has a locked down bootloader. This is great, since I would want to root it.
Here is my question, after looking around it doesn't seem that I can get a clear answer. Would I be able to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, and flash the verizon firmware onto the phone? I've already checked, the LTE bands are supported (Bands 2,4 and 13 along with the now legacy af CDMA fallback that is probably dead.).
I know you can use the Sprint version, on Verizon as it is, so even if I can't do all of this I can still use it with no issues, which is a plus.
Edit, steps further down below
I've got a Razr HD (XT925). After unlocking the bootloader, I could flash the Verizon fw to it. Flash a variant fw to an another unlocked-bootloader one (cross-flash) is capable. I cannot unlock my ATT one so I dont know exactly. I can only guess. Dont try to kill your phone :"(

I'll try not to, lol.
That said, I either suck at finding it or just can't find it, but would you be able to point me towards where I could find the Verizon FW for the Z2 Force? I've tried searching but can't find it.

OP - were you able to flash verizon fw on sprint z2 force?

Actually, shockingly, yes. I was. And it works. I did **** up the first few tries through trial and error, but currently I am using the Sprint Z2 Force on Verizon, running Verizon firmware with everything running. Glitches and all the same from a Z2 Force that would come with Verizon. Hell, you even get their bloat! Truly the Verizon Experience with the addition of Root and an Unlocked bootloader.
Doing this, I'd assume you have sim unlocked it and unlocked the Bootloader of your Z2 Force . Also note that this wipes EVERYTHING, SO BACK UP.
Also note that considering I was stunned when it worked, it's possible I missed a step while writing this up so again, have a window of time to be free. And a backup phone of possible.
The way I did it, is first prepping to have a few hours of your time because it could take a while. Set up like 2 or so hours where no one is going to call you on your phone since you'll need your Sim in the Z2 in case anything goes wrong.
Then, you need to download the latest Verizon Z2 Force Firmware. You don't have to technically do this, but updating is going to be a pain since you aren't going to be allowed to take OTA's (more on that later.) So just get the one with the January Security Patch as that is the most recent one
Here is the Verizon Firmware. Just sort by date to the most recent one for this year, there is only one lol.
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/nash/official/VZW/
Next is download the flashall utility. You aren't going to use the flashall.bat, but adb is in there. Extract the Verizon firmware into that flash all folder. From there, assuming you have adb debugging and all, boot into the bootloader.
Once you have everything prepped, follow this guide here. The first one, with wipe
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/how-to/fastboot-rom-flash-update-stock-rom-t3838213
But, if you don't want to open another tab, here are the instructions. There is an important thing to note. The Verizon Firmware has it's OEM in 2 chunks, as opposed to the single .img file the others do. In this case you would run the fastboot oem, drag oem chunk 0 into cmd and run it, then run fastboot oem again and do the same for oem chunk 1 from the folder you are performing everything from. I also think we are missing sparsechunks 6-10, so just follow the steps for what files you have and ignore the ones you don't. We also have system sparse chunk b's, two files, to flash as well. We seem to have a few files others don't.
Run these commands one by one.
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
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 system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system_b system_b.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system_b system_b.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash oem oem.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash oem oem.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
Do not forget to run fastboot oem fb_mode_clear, otherwise you will boot into fastboot at every reboot.
After that, everything should be working. It worked for me I'll try to help if anything goes wrong but I hope that doesn't happen.
That said, an important note about updates and OTA's. Our Z2 Force is not a real Verizon Z2 Force. Something internally, most likely the fact it's not certified and is the same reason it doesn't show up in Verizon's site as an offical Z2 Force, is the reason we cannot take OTA's. If an Update were to come out for our phone, we would need to download the latest firmware. Once someone can get the latest OTA from Verizon for us, we then have to use the same ADB method to update our devices.
The steps for updating without deleting data are in the link to the thread above, but here are the commands for doing so without wiping data. Again, reminder that our flash oem is in two chunks, And we don't have sparsechunks 6-10.
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
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 system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system_b system_b.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system_b system_b.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash oem oem.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash oem oem.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
Again, do not forget to run fastboot oem fb_mode_clear. I cannot stress this enough because I nearly said "**** this ****" because of this simple command that I forgot to copy in. This is what puts our phone into it's state to flash firmware. So disable it once you are done.
I would assume that this would also work for flashing the Sprint to a true unlocked version. I was tempted to test it, since the unlocked retail versions get updates first and are already on the latest March Security patch. But, I was stopped because I could not find the retail firmware anywhere. The link for the retail in this thread 404'd, so this is the next best thing.
I did encounter an anomaly once everything was said and done. The phone app wasn't showing up once I had all my apps set up. I had to find it, clear the cache, and for good measure disabled and re-enabled it and it never disappeared/stopped responding again. I did end up using Magisk to install the Google Dialer framework and am using that with no issues. Aside the issue that I can't download it from the playstore, so I had to download it from a reputable site.
Note that I never had sprint service on it, so anything related to that or battery life on the sprint rom is something I have no clue about. But, I seem to get very good battery life on it.
I posted some screen shots below.
Just trying to understand something. Does verizon block sprint phones via a whitelist or via firmware?

I'm not sure, it might be the Whitelist. Since if you check your MyVerizon account it still doesn't believe its a Z2 Force. The phone's guts are the same but not all the IMEI numbers are registered.
Here are the VZW firmware. Android 9.0 1/31/2020 appears to be the most recent:
lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.
lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai

Sorry I'm not good at English
I have the z2 force xt1789-03, I flashed the wrong version of fw android 9 so I lost the baseband when I was in the android rom 8. I tried to flash the latest version but I could not get back the baseband. Please show me how to get it back to the beginning!

If you have flashed a Pie ROM to your device you will not be able to go back to Oreo and have a working device. Did you try to flash an official version of Pie that was released by your carrier or did you flash a version that you found on the forums somewhere?
Getting baseband back and making wifi and sims work
I had the same issue and got stuck hopelessly but after a few hit and tries, I finally made my wifi and cellular network work on my sprint smartphone (baseband was gone).
what you need to do step by step is:
1. download pie variant of Verizon carrier from mirrors dot lolinet dot com/firmware/moto/nash/official/VZW/ (replace dot with . )
2. download latest pie variant of Retail variant of z2 force from mirrors dot lolinet dot com/firmware/moto/nash/official/RETAIL/
3. copy NON-HLOS.bin from verizon variant and copy it to retail variant of pie firmware
4. download any flashall file and rewrite it (open with notepad and edit, it is as simple as that) or run commmands in following order in retail firmware folder:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot-bootloader
5. run flashall and let it boot.
6. enjoy
NOTE: reversion of baseband is not possible and maybe custom roms will work no more but you will get to make your device work.

Hi, excuse my English, I'm using a translator.
I have a problem, update my Sprint z2 force with a RETAIL firmware and all right just a couple of problems, the sim does not detect, I do not know if I lost the unlock-sim, because the wifi works perfectly, Will they know what it could be?
I did the above and it didn't work, it still doesn't detect the sim, should I flash the file of a Mexican company? I'm from México
Are there anyone has successful with this method ?

Unsuccessful here, mine is a variant XT1789-05, is currently with version OPXS27.109-34-4, but I have no wifi, no data network, lost baseband, any solution?
I've tried almost everything, wanted to put in edl mode, but it does not enter.

I read somewhere in this forum, your variant -05 can back to normal.
My variant -03 did not work with this method too.

Hi,
confirmed working on my xt1789-03, with the following considerations:
-> Wifi and bluetooth now working
-> Sim card seems to be detected, but no radio or signal.
-> IMEI remains 0
-> When boot a message appears: "Verity Mode is set to disabled"
So, little step to success. From now, I have a little tablet with wifi.
Many thanks to Muar_96
