So I messed up and didn't copy my clipboard to keep from flashing over my modem when flashing Oreo.
I really need help finding a flashable version of the stock Chinese modem.
Oops, I seem to have used an old account. I need to be able to post a link so lets use this one.
I was able to fix this issue by flashing the modem for a similar phone with ZUI, the XT1710-08 https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto Z2 Play/Stock/XT1710-08/ . This seems to have gotten my modem to work again but the rom itself is locked to chinese and useless for my needs. Paired with a different rom it seems to all be good...
Hi. Use this https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
I flashed all using standard set of fastboot commands including modem flashing and erasing. You will boot in Chinese version, but still able to change a language to English in preferences menu (try to find a right menu by logos). It is still Android Nougat 7.1.1 with CH/EN only languages.
After that I flashed this https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmwar...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
But skip modem flashing and erasing. You will have multi language Android Oreo.
Enjoy.
Zenfone 2 Deluxe Special Edition
Model: Z00A
Before I unlocked, rooted, and flashed my current version, I had Android M - I believe it was Asus firmware version: WW-4.21.40.352
Current version: Groovy Android Android N (7.1.2) - GA-N-v7.1.2-20180612-Z00A-Release.zip
Apparently that was a big mistake and I should have downgraded to Android L before flashing Groovy Android Android N because there's a known issue related to the SIMs not being detected.
I can get my LTE connection to work if I physically remove and reinsert the SIM but that's obviously annoying. And I figured out how to play with the data/SIM settings to get it to register on the data network again but it keeps reverting back to having issues with the X over the LTE symbol and having no data connection.
I just picked Groovy Android because I didn't really know where to start and I wanted Android Nougat. I really want a dark themed Android Nougat but I haven't come across any custom ROMs that have that option. Any suggestions?
For now, I need to go back to Android L so I can flash Groovy Android again without SIM issues.
I downloaded UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.206-user.zip from Asus's website.
Can I simply go into TWRP, go into sideload mode, and then type adb sideload UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.206-user.zip from my PC?
Do I need to wipe any particular partitions before or after?
EDIT:
Oh also one of the reasons I wanted to try a custom ROM is because of all the bluetooth audio issues I was having. Every single ROM I've ever had on this phone, from the one it shipped with, through several OTA and updated firmwares from Asus's website that claim to "fix bluetooth stability", I've always had this issue where the audio just randomly cuts out while connected to my Soundbot SB360 receiver (I've had other devices and phones connected to it without issue). I've seen other people complain about it on Asus's forums with no real resolution.
That does not happen on my device. It's stable except for the crashed pie
I know I need to downgrade to stock Lollipop. So the question is, can I do that from TWRP, and how do I do it?
Did you back up your system partition before flashing Groovy Android?

Either flash the firmware directlyhttps://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/guide-flash-stock-rom-asus-zenfone-2-t3588276, or restore that backup, flash stock MM recovery, lock the bootloader and downgrade by installing the 2.x "update" zip from ASUS's website.

I was reading over this guide yesterday and I'm going to try METHOD 2 using the Asus Flash Tool to flash WW_ZE551ML_2.20.40.206_20170627.raw which is the latest version of Lollipop.
Hello all the people out there.
Im new in the forum and english is not my mother language so, please be kind.
Hardware:
Moto G5 cedric (XT1060)
Situation:
Installed twrp-3.2.1-0-cedric.img without problems
Installed lineage-15.1-20180415-UNOFFICIAL-cedric.zip without problems
Installed open_gapps-arm64-8.1-aroma-20181116.zip without problems
Problem:
When the phone inits, the fingerprint sensor does nothing at all.
When i go to Security > Screen lock the fingerprint option doesnt exists at all. Exploring the coms (Apps > All Apps) i dont see the fingerprint service installed.
I have installed the "Ampare Fingerprint test" app and when run only says "Native Fingerprint API not found!".
Thing done:
Flash all again (TWRP + Lineage 15.1 + gapps) and the situation is the same.
Anyone have an idea and can guide me?

Did you flash stock 8.1 before?

Hi Andrej_SK, thanks for your reply.
This phone was never flashed.
I had the stock version and it was updated with Android Oreo 8.1, which was updated a few weeks ago.

If you installed stock Oreo 8.1 using any method (OTA, Fastboot...), you have to downgrade to stock Nougat first (using fastboot image) to make fingerprint work with CustomROMs. However, you need unlocked bootloader to downgrade. Don't flash both gpt and bootloader (if flashed any of these, you will get hardbrick because gpt/bootloader downgrade is not allowed). Also, don't run erase modem commands, they will wipe your IMEI in this case. As soon as you downgrade to stock Nougat, check the fingerprint availibility in Settings. If you can see options related to it, you're good to go - you can install any CustomROM as you normally would and your fingerprint will work.

Hi Andrej_SK, really thanks for your help.
Sorry but I'm pretty new flashing android 6+.
Lets see if i have done the correct step.
Flashed 7.x Nougat following this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/official-stock-moto-g5-cedric-firmware-t3733897
IMEI is OK, fingerprint working perfectly.
This has erased TWRP, so, now i can install TWRP and then install any custom rom?

Yes. Keep in mind that if you want to install any Oreo CustomROM, you need to do it using 64bit TWRP. If you decide to install Gapps alongside with any Oreo CustomROM too, use this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/how-to-repair-bootloop-oreo-roms-t3791189 to avoid bootloop.

Andrej_SK I have no words to thank you for your help.
I decided to continue using the stock rom, at least until Lineage OS is in a more stable state.
Some functions work better and I really need them.
Again thank you very much!

Hello,
I'm facing the same problem, I came Stock rom Oreo 8.1 and then fingerprint is not working on any custom rom I've tested.
Detail: Project Treble does not even start the boot for me.
I will perform the procedure that you mentioned and leave the feedback here if the problem was solved since I saw in other forums for this device that many are with the same problem.
Edit
I downgraded to the Nougat stock rom and installation rom Pixel Experience 8.1, fingerprint is working for me now =D
Thanks Andrej_SK for the great help
Hey there, can't get my fingerprint to work on LOS 17.1, it's like it's there, but it doesn't react to anything. When I go to the fingerprint settings, it ask me to touch it in order to setup the thing, but when I place my finger on it, it does nothing. Did anyone ever heard of this issue or any fix for it? Thanks in advance.

You are posting in the Moto G5 forum
If you are using a galaxy s7 I suggest that you go and post your question in the correct rom section for your phone as no one here will be able to help you
Goto the following thread for Los 17 on a galaxy s7 & make sure you are using that build

Hello,
One of my kids SGS5 died so I borrowed an old (and unused) LG G4 H815 w/ Android 5.1 installed (and no available updates).
After a bit of mocking around, I managed to unlock the bootloader (via lg.com account) and somehow got TWRP v2.8.7 installed and after that, I managed to upgrade it all the way up to v3.0.1.
Any attempt to use any version above v3.0.1 fails (dtb not found).
When I try to install LOS of any version (14.1 / 15.0 or above), it throws an error (Error 7) and complaints about mismatched device ("this rom packages is for H815, this device is .").
I attempted to advance wipe the /data and /cache partitions to no avail.
I would imagine I need to a newer kernel and/or bootloader. Am I correct?
Any idea how I can upgrade any of them? Should I simply download a stock v6.0 ROM (of any region) and continue from there? Any preferable region (so I won't brick my device / relock my bootloader)?
Thanks.
- Gilboa
FWIW,
ROM version: V10a-ISR-COM
Software version (according to LG Mobile Support tool): H81520P.
Hardware model: LG-G815
According to the LG Mobile Support tool (under Windows) upgrades are unavailable for this phone.

When you were able to unlock your device on the lg website use LGup to flash h815 20p stock (international/global). And yes you're right that a stock ROM upgrade is needed to flash newer TWRP and custom ROMs. v20p is the recommended version for all avail custom ROMs
Many thanks for the reply.
In the end I decided to risk it, download some random unlocked stock Marshmallow ROM via twrp v3.0.1.
Once done, I managed to upgrade TWRP to 3.0.2 (which previously failed to install) and then (after reboot) 3.2.3.
Once I upgrade twrp, it managed install LinageOS without issues.
Thanks again.
Hi everyone, I've been a HTC10 owner for quite a while. When HTC decided to stop updates to Oreo, I decided to unlock the bootloader, flash a twrp and install some AOSP roms, based on Android 10, Android 11 and even Android 12, all found here on XDA. A few days ago I decided to put back the stock rom (with the flash method via sdcard) leaving the bootloader unlocked and S-ON. The flash is successful, the only thing that doesn't work anymore (it's not that it doesn't work, it doesn't detect it at all) is the fingerprint sensor (the option in the settings is missing). This happens both with Rom stock and with Rom on a sense basis. If, on the other hand, I flash a Custom Rom based on AOSP again, the sensor works again in an excellent way. What do you advise me to do? is there a way to flash the stock firmware with the whole rom? Like RUU? I accept any advice. I can do anything, the only thing I don't have is S-OFF.
