Uploaded another build that seems to get LTE on Sprint. All of the menus are still broken so you presumably need to be activated on stock before flashing.
Is there any way to make the fingerprint function to wake up / close screen to work with out requiring a pin/pattern/code to be active? That'd be an awesome feature
Installed on my XT1775 briefly and except for the sound this looks pretty good. I'm on AT&T and LTE worked fine, etc. I just can't live without sound as I need my phone for work teleconferences. I will *definitely* use this as soon as I can daily drive it!
I have tried (and failed) to get CDMA data properly working. Once someone gets CDMA/Sprint support working properly on one of the other devices in this family, it should be simple enough to port whatever the fix may be, but until that happens, this will likely remain as-is.
Since gsm seems to get LTE will this ROM still be worked on to get sound working? Even though I know CDMA users are out of luck for now. I have the standard e4 and want to buy a plus but I definitely need aosp ROMs.
Thanks for your work porting this. Actually shocked to not see more development considering how huge the battery is on the device.

I need to repair my shattered Moto X Pure so I have a working phone to use while developing before I can do much more work here (ie: on fixing audio). This was mainly a proof-of-concept to make sure I was, in fact, able to get the thing to boot, before I spent too much work fixing other things.
For CDMA, I think the root of it is the new architecture Sprint is using in preparation for CDMA+VoLTE; I tried porting over files from the Moto X Pure's LineageOS port, but it uses older tech for CDMA internally. The Moto G5S has the same ISIMv2 SIM card on Sprint so should be similar software-side, and the Moto G5S will almost certainly have a pretty active community judging from past Moto G series phones. Moto X4 should be similar as well.
I am likely to be pretty busy for the next month or so, though, so probably won't have time to do any work on this until then.
so does someone plan to pick back up development on this? really surprised there isnt more devs on the plus model. much better build, camera, cpu and that big ?.
What exactly did you have to do to get this to work. I'm considering trying to port a few roms from perry over to owens, but if it's too hard, or just practically impossible I'm not going to bother.
Which version seems to have LTE working? I currently have no LTE just call(no sound) and txt lol
So I am attempting to build my first rom for the Moto e4 plus Qualcomm. I'm just following the build instructions on lineageos's website. I'm stuck now because there is not a device tree in the lineageos git. I see that the OP has a device tree on git and I also see that there is now a Moto kernel on git. I am unsure what the next step is? I'm unsure how to make the device tree part of my local git and also how to mix the new kernel posted from Moto. Any help and I will post what I create. Thanks.
@ReimuHakurei would you please attempt to fix sound for this custom ROM now that the kernel sources have been released. I've been looking forward to replacing the stock room on my phone for a while

Yes please! I really want to use this rom but I use my phone for listening to music all the time. Will some please fix the sound?
Bump, can someone please fix this?
Thank you for releasing this!
+1 for no sound or mic on xt1775
I tried Bluetooth and wired audio devices and sound/mic is not functioning for them either.
I am able to connect to the Verizon network with a their Sim through net 10, but only 3g (EvDo-rev.A, by choosing global auto) and not LTE after trying various modes in the 4636 menu. With the same Verizon Sim through net 10 my Nexus 5x h791 does connect to LTE .
Besides the issues above, this appears to be working well!
Also, if anyone can share complete stock partition images files (boot, recovery, and system partitions) for the xt1775, this would be appreciated, but I'm ok using my phone as is for now. I wish I had thought to make a complete backup by booting twrp through fastboot (fastboot boot recoverimagefilenamehere.img) and then making a backup first instead of flashing twrp before doing that. After I flashed twrp, instead of the Motorola bootloader unlocked screen, all I see is the white text "N/A" on a black background in the top left corner during bootup. Also, after I installed twrp I could no longer boot to the os until I installed this unofficial lineageos rom. I'm not sure if that is expected. Since I didn't make a backup of the system partition and boot before flashing twrp, I'm unable to restore the stock os. Lesson learned... immediately after making the mistake. I did make a backup of the boot and system partitions after flashing twrp before installing this unofficial lineageos rom(when I was already having the boot up issue), but when I restore them I have the same issue where the phone will not boot into the os. This is what I expected, at that point anyways.
Thanks again!

Sir,Any custom rom for Mediatek variant of this handset

I'm not sure if its the exact same variant, but @_maerk released stock images for the retail (snapdragon) e4 plus. Even if yours is carrier specific, as long as your bootloader is unlocked and you have the Qualcomm version you should still be good. I remember on my old Sprint Moto E from 2015 I could still flash the OS/Recovery/Boot images from the retail version, just not the modems or bootloader.
Update: I was able to restore to stock using the following link.
SCROLL TO POST # 10 for directions for Moto E4 Qualcomm (Owens) retail unlocked:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4-plus/how-to/moto-e4-qualcomm-owens-completely-to-t3743441
Then I flashed Reiku's version of TWRP for the phone:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e4-plus/development/twrp-twrp-moto-e4-plus-qualcomm-t3697154
Then I installed this unofficial Lineage version:
[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][owens] LineageOS 14.1 for Moto E4 Plus (Qualcomm)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...lineageos-14-1-moto-e4-plus-qualcomm-t3734197
Then I installed OpenGAPPs and AddonSu. The only hiccup I had through the process was that I got an ERROR Code: 64 when trying to install the ARM 64 version of openGapps in TWRP, so I used a non 64 version without issue.
Thanks to everyone for all of your efforts on these projects.

I purchased outright this Moto E 4G LTE from Staples.
It's not locked to any single carrier and I more than likely will use it as a pocket computer, rather than a talk and text phone.
The details from within the phone are as follows:
Model Number - Moto E (2nd Generation) with 4G LTE
Hardware SKU - XT1527
Android Version - 5.0.2
Baseband version - M8916_200608.08.02.58.15R SURNIA_RETCA_CUST
Kernel version - 3.10.49-gb86829a [email protected] #1 Tue Aug 4 14:44:21 CDT 2015
System version - 22.46.8.surnia_retca.retca.en.CA retca
Build number - LXI22.50-53.8
This is my first plunge into the world of unlocking, rooting, and flashing Android OS.
So far I've been able to gather that cybojenix and squid2 have highly regarded threads and downloads related to the Moto E 4G LTE but the high volume of custom roms, TWRP files, modem files, gapps, patches to fix issues with the camera and patches to eliminate a warning message that warns of a rooted bootloader, etc have left me somewhat overwhelmed lost. I am in need of a short list of what I absolutely need to do what I want to do, and some hints of what extras would work best with my phone in terms of custom roms or whatever relevant.
I'd like to root my phone so that I can run a specific app not related to xdadevelopers. My needs are mostly related to security and anonymity because in my professional life I conduct social research with vulnerable populations and the ethics of my profession dictate a strict code of conduct in this vein.
[As an aside --The app I use unobtrusively requests root access and I fully trust the app since I am very familiar with its history and development to date. The app is found found at f-droid if anyone is interested in checking out f-droid's offerings.]
My questions are these:
What version of twrp-surnia-3.0.0-r*.img will my Moto E work with?
Motorola says my Android Version 5.0.2 is fully up to date when I try to use the in-phone System Updates feature from the About Phone tab in Settings. However I've read in XDAdevelopers that this version of Android can run into problems when using a later version of TWRP.
Can I install a flavour of CM13 straight from Android Version 5.0.2 or do I need to somehow install an Android Version of 5.1 as a first step?
What flavour of CM (Custom ROM) works best with this phone?
I recognize this thread is a bit long winded but I hope to have provided all the necessary details required to seek help from the many expert coders, programmers, and operators dedicated to xda-developers.
Thank you for taking time to read this, and many more thanks if you happen to contribute to any of the solutions that might follow.
Have a wonderful evening.

The basic steps you need to follow are:
Unlock your bootloader
Flash the XT1527 RETUS 5.1 modem (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/help/moto-e-2015-modems-t3296044)
Flash the latest TWRP (my 3.0.1-r1 build as of this moment, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/development/twrp-squid-twrp-recovery-moto-e-lte-t3137649)
From TWRP, go into advanced wipe and erase system, data, cache, and dalvik
Flash CM13 + gapps together in TWRP
Apart from the modem, you don't have to upgrade anything else.
I choose to avoid Cm after reading up on it.
I prefer to use the Stock ROM etc
BUT!
I Root it with SuperSU then make my own Bootlogo + Animation
Then i use Squid's Kernel + Squid's TWRP and No-frills CPU Control (to use some of the options Squid's kernel has)
I believe my setup is cleaner and has more stable support and easier to do learn etc.
I checked on what features CM offers and none of it sound like anything i wanted.
I also don't want to have to fiddle around with Gapps or whatever.
I also seen some drawbacks before with some features on the stock Rom that do not work on CM.
I think most people use it simply because it's popular.
Evaluate your options and choose what is right for you.
First thing you want to do is check if you can unlock your bootloader.
Since your from Canada i bet you can.. i did on mine.
Squid's stuff plus Stock Android is good.. in my opinion better than CM.

Thank you for responding to my questions, squid2. I am very much honored to have had you taken the time to write on my behalf, this is certainly something to which I feel very privledged.
For the sake of clarity and accuracy I will quickly repeat the steps I just took after reading your answer to this thread. If you do not write into this thread a second time I will assume the steps I just took are indeed the correct ones.
1. I went to http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto...odems-t3296044 as you directed and downloaded only the one folder titled Modem, ignoring the larger file that includes another three folders in addition to the Modem folder (the larger file containing all the four files is 25.79GB, whereas the single Modem folder is just 561MB).
2. I then unzipped the Modem folder and selected the SURNIA-RETUS_5.1.zip, ignoring the SURNIA-RETUS_5.1_new.zip which is also in the Modem folder. (The newer SURNIA-RETUS_5.1_new.zip file is two days newer than the other SURNIA-RETUS_5.1.zip file, but since they are both in the same Modem folder I am taking that to mean I should follow your original instructions precisely as directed. Both files are about the same size, except that the newer file is slightly smaller than the other.)
Again, thank you. Your instructions were vital in enabling me to move forward on this task. We need a bitcoin tip jar for people who take time to help others.

Thank you, xpmule. I had been wondering whether it was a good idea to install CM or to use a stock Rom. From what I've been reading the Moto E version of Android is fairly bloat-free and since I really only need a rooted phone there is no real need for CM.
I've learned more than once that messing around with unfamiliar OS can be a recipe for disaster after foolishly timing updates of a Linux or BSD OS when I have papers due or exams to study for.
I'll take some more time to research the other options you recommended and then follow your lead with respect to this phone.
Again I'd like to thank both squid2 and yourself for helping me on this, and may I suggest that people who provide meaningful assistance such as this put a bitcoin wallet addres in their signature so that people like me can show our gratitude .
I Support Bitcoin and i think i said that to Squid before too LOL
But i have before refused some for helping people more than once.
My help is not as much as Squid's though.. he puts in effort for his public projects LOL
I don't think you will see him giving advice too much either.. at least i haven't.
So Squid.. GET a Bitcoin address man
OP good luck.. i think Moto's Android is fairly bloat free.. The stuff Moto put on there is good.
Like the twist the phone to activate the camera app or the app that tweaks the notifications.
I am happy myself just modding the stock firmware.
Thank you squid2, I followed your directions exactly as prescribed and I am now rocking the lastest nightly build of CM on my Moto E. It was fairly easy and I can confirm that everything works just fine.
And thank you as well, xpmule. I was going to follow your instructions too but when I got to a certain point in my process and my phone asked if I was sure I wanted to reboot even though there was no OS installed, well I had one of those moments.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!
Now it's time to explore this CM OS and see what all the fanfare is really about. )
*** This project is now abandoned in favor of the LineageOS variant ***
This is a port of Cyanogenmod 14.1 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7.0 (2016) LTE SM-T285. Cyanogenmod needs no introduction, it is one of the most popular aftermarket ROM distributions around.
5.1.1 is the best that you can get from samsung right now and it is not known if they plan to do any upgrades. I have absolutely no idea why samsung chose to stay with the outdated 5.1.1 mid 2016 when we already got 7.1 coming out. This custom rom is probably the best you can get if you want an upgrade from Lollipop. Performance on the latest build is also better, you be the judge.
As this is the first CM-14.1 release, I don't recommend you use this as a daily driver, but it should be good enough for some. Make sure you read the pending issues below and decide if this is acceptable to you before you flash this rom. This rom probably won't get much use out of some people until bluetooth is fixed.
Based off on Cyanogenmod 14.1 sources which is based on Nougat 7.1.

https://github.com/jedld/vendor_samsung_gtexslte.git
https://github.com/jedld/kernel_samsung_gtexslte.git
Update Dec 3, 2016
===============
Fixed GPS, Wifi Hotspot, Graphics issues, Calls, Camera,sdcard is now marked as adoptable.
Works:
- Wifi/SMS
- Audio
- Graphics with glitches (minor screen tearing, blank screen showing up on overlays)
- GPS
- Wifi Hotspot
- Incoming/Outgoing Calls
- MTP
Does not work:
- Bluetooth
- Camera
- LTE (Due to APN issues)
- Battery Meter not updating
Bugs/Known Issues
* Problems recording video
Other Notes:
- selinux permissive
Most of the issues are fixable, I just need more time and encouragement
SM-T280 Users: Unfortunately this rom would probably not work on it since the SM-T285 and SM-T280 have different kernels and slightly different hardware. I don't have access to this device so it would be hard for me to port it over. However I believe there are a lot of similiarities in the device tree that can be shared. If a dev with the SM-T280 is interested I can probably help.
Download
========
Remember flashing an unofficial ROM on your samsung device will probably void your warranty, Samsung representatives will probably not be able to help you as they are still stuck at 5.1.1 land as of now and have no idea how to handle a SM-T285 that is running 7.1.
As always flash this at your own risk. Make sure you have a copy of the stock ROM so that you have something to fall back to, which is highly the case when using an experimental rom.
See DevDB download section.
BUILD12032016
Note that this rom is pure stock and does not come with the Play Store or any Gapps, I suggest you download a micro gapps package separately and install it via recovery.
There have been reports that recent versions of open gapps don't work properly, it is advised to use older versions instead (e.g. open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20161109.zip)
Installation Instructions
==================
Perform a backup of all of your important files. This ROM is experimental and I will not be responsible for your loss of data.
Download the zip file and extract the tar.
Use Odin/Heimdall to flash the tar file to your device. If you are coming from stock oranother rom make sure you wipe first using TWRP. Coming from a previous version of OMNIRom for SM-T285 may not require a wipe, however please perform a wipe if you encounter problems.
Root and customization
===================
This ROM is a purely based on source and is not rooted out of the box. However you can easily root it by using TWRP to install the latest version of SuperSU.
If you want to customize this ROM and repackage it you may use this guide as a reference.

Nice job!!!
Great job! The ROM is impressively fluid, and I particularly love the way it renders fine text, which I appreciate because I prefer DPIs of 140 to 160. Unfortunately, just like in the early iterations of OmniROM 6.0, the tablet will not connect to the internet over cellular networks no matter how much I tinker with APNs. It's a great build, nevertheless, and I look forward to future releases.
Thank you !! Will give it a try.
posting here too (as did on omni - realized this is the cm 14.1 board)...
"briefly tried the cm14.1....much better very fast response-on the omni the pull down was an issue (would also ask me to format the sd card)
noticed here too the signal tends to drop in and out (wonder if it is some power saving going on-it goes to full strength during a call)...speakerphone also does not work here but must say this is better than the omni even though data does not work"
keyboard much better here too
on both cm14.1 and the omni, the dialer tends to be have some lag when pressing the numbers (do it too fast and can get many errors)-minor thing understand this is an alpha and the omni is a beta
thanks
I can't get Soft Keys to work, worked fine on the Omni ROM, only problem I have come across so far.

needs some xml changes that needs to be compiled into the framework for that I believe. Though there are more critical bugs I need to fix with this 7.1 rom.

Those patches didn't help unfortunately Though I've fixed network type selection in CM-14.1 already, unfortunately data connection still won't come online due to errors related to APNs. Seeing as this was working perfectly in CM-13 this could be a CM-14 or Nougat related change, it will take a while to figure out what that is. As for bluetooth I was able to get it to turn on, however it is still unable to detect/pair to any device, this is also something that was working in CM-13.

Dual sim variants are NOT supported! I do not have the hardware to test and fix at this time - bugreports appreciated
Working - everything else?
Try it yourself (Requires Nougat Firmware and as always wipe data+cache)

Once again this rom REQUIRES that the stock nougat firmware was properly flashed to work correctly... It will check before installation that you have the correct modem version installed.
*If your radio does not work you may have the wrong modem
*If you can not switch lockscreen to pin or pattern you may have the wrong modem.
*Modem flashes fail quietly sometimes please make sure you have properly flashed it before reporting issues.
Great! [emoji6]

I'll be happy to test once there is a working rom
I've been updating op, it seems to just be getting shorter as I fix things. The rom now compiles with default manifest only needs device tree and kernel source now. something is failing quietly and preventing boot. I'm just working the problem slowly getting it sorted out.
Can't wait to see more from this
We wait impatiently.
Spent a couple more hours going through init narrowing it down failure happens just before zygote startsI currently have my pure propped up in charging position so I can work more on it it's had a hard life
Thank You so much

I have been searching and search for lineage OS roms for my XT1575 but the bootloader is Ax052 which is not supported by 14.1 Lineage. I Hope you find a fix for this.

Hi, I have the Lineague 14.2 installed. What I did to eliminate the bootloader check was to edit the uptader-script

Hi randomblame,
A quick review please, could you tell us the intended purpose of your project.
Meaning like I'm thinking it's for a "Moto X Pure 2015 (clark)" device isn't it?
Would that be for everyone on this XT1575 device which has upgraded to a stock Nougat kernel and modem?
Or could/would others benefit from it as well with your research here - other moto's?
Any and all answers - thoughts are welcome in understanding the project...
Thanks for the lady power on XDA,
RIF
This device can have a new future. Think about it !
I will look into bootloader incompatibility once I get it running seems like it shouldn't be a big deal. I'm also toying with the idea of a new kernel 3.18 seems like low hanging fruit considering Motorola was kind enough to give us good searchable git history on GitHub of both kernels and the 3.18 source for the Moto z seems to have most of the msm8992 support still. My next step is going to be a new device tree starting as bare bones as possible and populating it properly to figure out this issue. I'll throw up a PayPal link again later a less broken device would be helpful USB port is bad and this is probably the fourth screen I've installed on it but touch only works when it feels like it lol

I'm trying to follow along with your posts best as is possible for me - but, so sorry I and as well many others are lame to understand the under-the-hood workings of Android.
Are you saying in such a way that the Moto Pure XT1575, will maybe and with your research efforts move forward to a true PIE OS possibly?
Maybe I'm reading to much into your words.
But, as I follow your posts, you'll advance us Pure device owners beyond the Nougat kernel - or at least try too?
Or yet with your efforts will this yield something like HashBang did for the XT1575 device when a Nougat OS wasn't even a thought of possibility from Motorola for us.
Back then, HashBang had worked the Nougat OS on the Marshmallow kernel and modem - I'm very green to all of this - but that's what I understood.
Still that's good none the less if that will come here from you with PIE on Nougat internals...
Beings Motorola support is dead for our device for anything future of an OS update - not to mention security patches.
If you would spell it out better as any interested XT1575 owners now could grasp the concept here in your efforts - create a buzz for a greater community following. More MXP owners to jump on board as gained support from well wishers.
Is it to early yet for that? Is there a fear that someone could steal it out from under you? Unexpected negativity, or is it just the way you wish to present this to us for the present.
I'm still going to watch and support this project with high hopes no matter what may come in the end...

As for any active developers still left for the XT1575 a big thank you to you all, seems to me like a daunting task to crawl inside of android moreless understand things once your there...
Kernels are only loosly linked to Android versions, Google maintains the Android-common kernel repos which are usually quite far behind mainline Linux, and caf who maintains Qualcomm specific kernels are further behind in general. Literallyany feature required by Android can be backported to an old kernel I'm sure 2.6.27 could run pie but it would need so many patches it would be an unrecognizable mess. It will become progressively more of a nuisance as time goes on to keep patching up 3.10 Pie "requires" 4.4 for new devices but only needs kernel features from 3.18 which I've backported to 3.10. with each new version of Android more assumptions are made about how modern the devices kernel is and what features it has so moving to a newer kernel would be nice and like I said 3.18 seems doable but it will still be quite a bit of work.
Thank you @randomblame I was able to grasp most of that...
Maybe it's too early but, how does Googles Android security patches figure into this - if they are possible to bring us forth from Oct 2017?
Remembering I'm a laymen to the nuts and bolts of android.
I understand your post #16 - Super !
Security patch version is irrelevant when you are building from the latest source
Obnoxiously after a few builds the dedicated 250gb SSD is full and I have to make clean which takes ages, I nooped every thing but the basics didn't include telephony or wifi, ril, audio, Bluetooth GPS nfc etc and left it to build overnight will test after work trying to narrow down the problem
Surface flinger is the culprit
I have the device laying around and getting no use. Will sure donate some $$$. Seeing a los16 with all working hardware would be great.
Only got a couple hours to work on it this weekend, there is an issue where /system/vendor is not symlinked to /vendor early enough and calls for things in /vendor fail thus the issue, since we don't have a physical /vendor partition it can not be mounted immediately via the kernel. Tis annoying. I can change the calls to /system/vendor or maybe make it symlinked earlier when I get a chance
Hello all, where would I start in making a working twrp for this phone?
Does anyone know if Motorola has released the device tree/source code for this phone so we can make the roms? LineageOS would be ideal.
Well, I have the same phone. Couldn't find ROMs for it.

look in this forum here, there are a couple floating around for it, I've made one, that I was able to fully flash to mine and has touch (Android 10. there's another that is 11 on here too by another poster), but as there are multiple display options out there it seems for how they were made, that is the sticking point, as not all will behave properly when booted into a recovery like mode it seems. I have tried installing it over bootloader and it will have touch then, but when flashed to recovery the touch never activates properly. So it all likely comes to that, as we'll need combine them in, properly applying proper checks for each display type and having it use the proper driver files, since can't load them all at once or it breaks things.

UPDATE: I have a telegram account where we are discussing how to make a custom lineage OS. I'm at the gathering stage and in the process of porting a device tree. For starters I want to start with lineage OS 18 because its the same android version the stock OS is, to be on the safe side, and that I've never done ROMS before.
Moto G Power 2021
I now have a device tree with the help of AOSPdtgen from the stock ROM from mirrors.lolinet: https://github.com/thebestofall007/android_device_motorola_borneo
I have started the build and got the first error:

I've looked this error up and they say it's because of the ram, but the error recurs at the same point. I have 16gb of swap, too.

you need alot of ram to build a rom for android 36GB of RAM or more will be beater to it wont crash

The error turned out to be entries in the proprietary-files.text file that needed to be deleted.
@thebestofall007 If you'll suceed. please take in consideration to build \e\ (aka deGoogled Lineage) too.
Here's a couple of interesting links that may help:
https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/build-e
https://community.e.foundation/t/howto-building-e-roms-a-beginners-guide/26371
Last but not least, we've also suggested them (check here) to setup a "build (V)Machine" by modding this colab notebook to made it device agnostic:
https://github.com/viam1-dev/colab_lineage_build
Hope can "inspire" you.
Thanks in advance.
Does anyone have a complete list of sources so far? I have some experience in the past building ROMs for Android 5 and I wouldn't mind trying. I have a lot of computer resources to dedicate to building as well.
Device tree: https://github.com/thebestofall007/android_device_motorola_borneo-old
Does anyone know if there is a kernel source? I looked on the Moto github and couldn't find one. Is everyone using prebuilt for the time being? Also, do we need a vendor tree?
Thanks
Hi guys,
I am forced to upgrade my moto G5 plus due to a network update
In my moto G5 plus I have installed dotOS with android 11 and I am really happy with it, and I would like "clone" it on a Moto G Power.
Here are some questions:
1) since Moto G Power (2021) is not listed on dotOS but a GSI ARM64 available, has anyone experienced with that? I am also open to other custom ROMS (also Lineage OS doesnt have this devicelisted)
2) I also noticed that TWRP is not available for Moto G Power (2021), is there a good alternative or I have to use adb fastboot?
Thanks!
Edit:
I just found the thread:
[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP 3.6.0-11 [BORNEO] Android 11 Based (updated 12/11/2021)
I can try that for question 2

Presently I don't believe it is possible to have a custom rom as we need the kernel be released for it to have a chance, or a compatible similar device and its kernel.
Hi Onoitsu and thank you for the reply,
so I guess I could go with the stock ROM. I noticed that I can use https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/borneo/ has an official and blankflash (not sure what the difference is). If I understand the process correctly I could:
1) unlock bootloader
2) flash twrp in recovery
3) flash blankflash.zip (or official?) through twrp
4) flash magisk through twrp
5) restore my old phone dotOS android 11 backup through twrp
and I should have all the apps and data as in the old device?

The blankflash is only if you can no longer flash anything by usual methods
Blankflash and EDL Mode
Is my device in EDL Mode?

Should the reasoning above work if I use official instead of blankflash?

Neither the blank flash nor official firmware are twrp compatible.
Thanks sd_shadow for the info, it is really helping me out.
I saw your post for using LSMA, but I couldnt find a Linux version. Is there one? Or the only other option I have is going through the fastboot process?

Mostly concerned because google has said they're going to stop their 'less secure app' thing at the end of this month and it might mean textnow will stop working outright for people that don't use play services.
Hopefully anyone working on making a custom rom for Borneo will see this thread and maybe give an idea if its going to happen.
Does this help?
If I wanted to start from scratch what would I need to know to make my own custom rom? Don't need a phone, will only ever use wifi. Just need microg basically.
The following statement is on the dotOS FAQs:
Q: My device is not supported! What should I do?!A: First reason can be that our development team doesn't have your device to support it or we no maintainer applied for this device. You can always use our GSI builds if your phone supports Treble Project.
Here we have this statement:
... Google requires every Certified Android device launching with Android 8.0 Oreo and above to support Treble.
Here borneo is listed as a supported device.
Does this mean dotOS GSI supports MotoGPower 2021 without the need of vendor blobs?

Two sites that potential rom developers may want to check out:

check out: https://github.com/moto-common/andr...ernel/blob/12/dtb/bengal-moto-base-borneo.dtb
2) https://github.com/moto-sm6115
Scroll through the list of repositories, particularly in the moto-common site
@sdembiske that looks promising, I am willing to give it a shot and contribute to the community. Is there a good guide on how to build the kernel with vendor tree/blobs etc...?
Reference "Moto G Power 2021 XT2117-4 Firmware Extractions" - You will find the extracted kernel etc. in the boot.img extracted link that you can download - there are many other extractions that you hopefully can use to build a custom or AOSP rom.
Your best bet would be to add a pre-built kernel in the build - you can google that for how-to's.

The Xiaomi poco m3 has the same SoC and other innards as the Moto G Power 2021 and it also has unofficial Lineage OS 19 support. I am considering hitting them up and using their code as part of the build. I'm also requesting Motorola Mobility LLC to release the kernel source for Android 11. I already have a device tree for Borneo on my github. Me and Fazwalrus have a telegram chat set up for the ROM development here
