*** WARNING ***
Do NOT flash this on an H918, you will brick your phone.
This is for the AT&T H910 ONLY
Thanks to @toastyp for the dump of 10r.
Thanks to @askermk2000 for the kernel. Dude doesn't even have a V20 anymore, but he jumped in and helped when I lost my dev environment to build the kernel. That is what XDA is supposed to be about. Seriously man, huge thanks.
With that said, this is the v10r firmware + boot + system. For now, it is possible to dirty flash this, but if there are a lot of posts about problems, I will force a wipe in the zip since most people will be coming from 10m or even earlier (I think NATF is based on 10l, and I don't know what WETA is based on).
So, please, just backup your data and do a clean install
This is 100% stock v10r, bloat and all. It is ARB 0, so if you don't like it, you can go back to any older version.
This include v1.0 of the mk2000 kernel, please check his thread here for any updates.
Also, the 10r firmware doesn't work with 10m or lower system images -- 10p or 10q only. Since there are no custom ROMs currently that are based on 10p, 10q, or 10r, there is no reason to flash JUST the firmware without boot and system.
If you choose to dirty flash, then you MUST reinstall Magisk or SuperSU before rebooting. If you don't, then your data will be encrypted when the phone boots.
With the new firmware, the engineering aboot is able to init the screen correctly so the nasty warning message is clearly visible. This is the same warning as before, but it was garbled and you couldn't read it. Ignore it... your phone will boot.

If I wanted to root, I could download this to my H91010q and go back to stock?
Apologies in advance if already obvious, but can someone on 10j or 10k flash this without first being on p or q?
The reason I ask is that you mentioned this "It is ARB 0, so if you don't like it, you can go back to any older version." and " 10q firmware doesn't work with 10m or lower system images -- 10p or 10q only."
My build number is NRD90M and my software version is H91810j.
I just want confirmation that this will work without me having to upgrade my firmware first.
Thanks for all your hard work!
@Jburd23 This does not root your phone. You flash this in TWRP if you are already rooted and want to upgrade to 10q.
@Quiksmage Yes, you can flash this no matter what version you are on. It includes system, so your current system will be wiped. It also contains the rest of the 10q firmware.

I should have also added the following. I can go back to a j based firmware after flashing this, correct?
It doesn't flash the modem/bootloader?
Sorry about the repeated questions, but I just want to be absolutely sure I don't end up in a place where I can't go back to the rootable firmware. Thanks
Nice to see some love for our v20, nice work.

Yes, you can revert to any older firmware. However, I don't know of any that was dumped. The H910 doesn't have a KDZ so the only way to get new (or older) firmware, is to have someone that hasn't rooted dump it.
If you are currently on 10j, then use the patched LG UP to dump your phone so that you will have a copy of the complete 10j firmware (minus an untouched system). At least that way you can flash back to it if you want. I only have dumps of 10m, 10p, and 10q. If you do dump your phone, please zip up the firmware and send it to me. You just need the files that are in this 10q zip.

Yes it does. When a post says firmware + boot + system, the firmware is the bootloader, modem, hypervisor, trustzone, etc.... Boot is the kernel, and system is the actual Android install.[/quote]

Don't quite understand this question. You don't lose TWRP if you flash this, so you can root with Magisk again. Also, ALL H910 firmware is currently rootable. The H910 and the unlocked US996 are the last two V20s that can be rooted on the latest firmware.
-- Brian
Hey Brian, that was my fault. I thought I had read H918 v10q. The t-mobile variant cannot go back once updated past K. Apologies!
First post updated to 10r with mk2000 v1.0 kernel.

You should really put a device check in the updater-script.... I couldve sworn this said H918 (8 and 0 look VERY similar on mobile), flashed it, full hard-bricked it.....

Tiny line in updater-script would have prevented this

@Tilde88 I did use an assert line at first, but I got tired of having to keep editing it and adding additional checks.
H910 || US996 || H915 || elsa || H910a
I am pretty sure that covers all the possibilities now, so I should probably put it back -- but at the end of the day, just have to be careful.
I could understand misreading the H910 on the forum post, but the zip file as well? That is an awful lot of seeing 8 instead of 0.....
I am sorry you toasted your device. Even if you bought it used, as long as it is still under the 2 year warranty, LG will fix it.
I am updating the first post with a big red warning....

Lol I don't blame you at all. I flashed it, I did it. It will get repaired and I have other phones, so not a big deal. I meant it mostly for others. 2nd phone I brick in 10 years (other one was the HTC touch pro2 back in windows mobile days). I just hope there will be root for 10q in a few weeks, BC I'm sure lg will send a refurb with that.
As for the recovery, I saw the file and just flashed, who needs to read anyway lmao. /s
Anyway, thanks for your work. It flashed beautifully, and its a great way to update
Ok flashed and running decent. But twrp asked for encrypt password. Wasnt encrypted. I can get past it but its showing 0mb for internal storage. Anyone else get this? Any idea how to fix it? I flashed supersu but it wont install I'm thinking because of this error.
You flashed SuperSU before rebooting or after?

The initial reboot? After. I went through setup and got everything done. Went back into twrp. Asked for a password to decrypt. I can hit cancel to get past it. Flashed supersu. Rebooted. No su app or root. I'm guessing because twrp thinks data is encrypted.
TWRP thinks your data is encrypted because it IS encrypted. If you don't flash SuperSU or Magisk before rebooting, then /data gets encrypted on the first boot. Now that it is encrypted, the only way to fix it is to format data in TWRP.
There is no way for you to back it up now either.

Eh a wipe/format isnt the end of the world. Save my pics onto external and do it. Thanks for the help man and for the Rom. She is smooth. Btw I saw you thank askermk2000 for the kernel. Is that the same one as in a thread of its own? I was thinking of flashing his updated 1.1 version but if its the same I wont bother. Thanka again.

This is a ROM Base of the latest LP VS985 23C & 23B for all devs who work on Stock LG system. It was a part of JasmineROM, but since it's Unmodified Stock/Rooted ROM, it should be just a ROM base. It makes it easy to upgrade to LP without the OTA hassle & to prepare partitions for future updates. It also keeps Bump-signed images (TWRP recovery & custom kernels) working without affecting any of the current ROMs/Kernels. You might need to just flash modem & kernel (check this post for official firmware) if you'd like to downgrade or switch ROMs (only if they're not already included in that ROM).
I went the image route (the new method) because I had some issues with some firmware. It run perfectly on my device, but failed to boot (or stuck in a bootloop) for some testers. The reason for Data/WiFi & other issues I've experienced during testing was due Symlinks, Permissions, & SELinux context. They should be identical to stock system. So, to avoid any other unforeseen issues, I decided to write stock images (so it works as expected) & updates will automatically follow the correct symlinks/permissions/context. I can make a working updater-script, but this way is much easier & straightforward.
23C Installation Instructions: - Official
BACKUP your apps via TitaniumBackup
REBOOT to TWRP recovery (the latest TWRP v2.8.6.0 can be found here)
WIPE everything (system/data/cache/dalvic)
FLASH JasmineROM_v7.0.zip - BE PATIENT !
FLASH SuperSU for ROOT access
RESET factory from within ROM (in Settings) is required.
If you run into WiFi/Sync issues, flash CRONTAB_DisableIPv6.zip

23B Installation Instructions: - Leak
The installation of 23B is quite simple (much less complicated than it sounds): you just need to run installROM.sh script; the other steps are just for preparation/clarification. This method just works in all situations (coming from Stock KK 10B/11C/12B or AOSP LP) we tested to update all relevant partitions. The future updates will be in the form of a regular flashable .ZIP file.
1. Make Nandroid backup of your ROM via TWRP recovery
2. Download & extract JasmineROM_v5.0.zip (use Zarchiver)
3. Make sure you don't have any partition images in internal storage (/sdcard)
4. Copy all files in JasmineROM_v5.0 directory to internal storage (/sdcard)
5. (Re)boot into TWRP recovery
6. Use Terminal Command (in TWRP) OR ADB (from PC/Mac/Linux via adb shell) to run the following 3 commands:
Code:
cp /sdcard/installROM.sh /sbin/
chmod 0755 /sbin/installROM.sh
sh /sbin/installROM.sh
The first two commands shouldn't print anything.
The 1st command copies the script to /sbin & the 2nd sets its permissions.
The 3rd command runs the script only if it's in /sbin (1st command) & has executable permissions (2nd command).
If you've messed up with your partitions layout or filesystem (e.g., formatting f2fs), revert to factory setup (e.g., ext4 filesystem - since stock kernel doesn't support f2fs).
The last command will take some time (~10 minutes). BE PATIENT !.
Some entries will appear to hang, do not interrupt or disconnect cable!
The "No space left on device" warning is NORMAL
You should see command prompt & ROM info/release date at the end !

7. Flash Download Mode Fix + Debuggable Kernel & Reboot
If you run into issues, it's because you've conflicting data from KK.
Do a factory reset in Settings to restore default LP databases!
You may use TitaniumBackup instead of factory reset > Tap batch actions on the top right > Scroll down to "Manipulate data" > Run "Wipe data for user & system apps"

Thanks a lot. Worked great. Is anyone having trouble with ADB after updating? My ADB worked fine before. I'm trying to find new drivers to install but can't seem to get it.
Coming from the stock KK running AOSP based LP ROMs right now should I install this to get my modem updated to the LP one? Or can I just flash the LP modem to get that updated?

When I boot it up, however, it won't load and it gives me the stock verizon boot animation and it hangs there. I didn't flash the download mode fix, was going to do that after I booted up for the first time
EDIT: I reinstalled the script, again, everything goes fine and it shows the release data at the end. Then, I flash the last zip, goes fine, and I reboot just like in the instructions and it gives me a blue and green light from the notification light and it's hanging at the stock verizon boot animation and it doesn't look like it's going anywhere.

True that, and let me give you a counter point: How does one extra marginal post in a different forum deteriorate your life in any way possible or imaginable? What is the cost of one more forum post, which by mathematical truth can only lead to one extra page at most?
Is it the opportunity cost of reading my post, and realizing you read the same text somewhere else? Is my ire at my cross post really just anger at re-posts in general? The concept of copying content and under valuing originality? If this is the case, I concede you have a point. I too am an effervescent searcher for good, funny, original and insightful content. My jimmies become quite rustled when I see something I've already seen before.
But here's the irony: just now, you've taken more time to read this post, than the last one!!! Isn't that funny? And it's interesting to think about, for the following reason: What is a post's ultimate value? It's a + b , where a is the value I gain from my post being answered, and b is the value you gain from reading it. Let's think about this post again; this post is literal poop. It is worthless, it's a waste of my time and yours. So really, this post is valueless for everyone involved. Yet, according to the logic of this website's forum, this post is completely fine since it's an original, non-cross post.
Yet my cross posts, which are bad as you suggest, give me immense value! Because my question is answered nearly (but not perfectly) twice as fast, so I get 2a + b return on the post. Do you see how illogical your conception of what is good posts/content, and what is bad?
Eh, but what do I know: I just go to the number 1 school in the US.

we got us a arrogant lill fellow here...haha thinks he's the only smart person in the world all that schooling and can't even correct a minor android problem kinda ironic having that attitude will not get u any help '
update:
have u ever changed ur file system from ext4 to f2fs? mind the same but it was bc i had changed my filesystem to f2fs...i reformatted it to ext4 and it booted no problem...initial boot takes quite a bit...5 mins or so
I never bothered doing Bump to get a custom recovery installed. I simply got root on 10B and then disabled automatic updates. As such, I figure this method won't work for me as it involves steps within TWRP. Would my best bet for getting stock rooted Lollipop be to enact Bump to get a custom recovery, and then follow these steps? The Bump stuff didn't make sense to me so I didn't dare venture down that road, and am hoping I can still avoid it...

It's called trolling son. Back in my day, it was an art. Now I just do it for the thrill.
I have no idea how to change file systems. The whole boot partition thing is what weirded me out, I have no idea about that stuff. I ended up flashing back to my kit kat recovery (which had a date of like january 5, lol. So I had been off stock rooted xposed for almost 4 months) and running the commands. Then instead of hanging at the verizon screen at boot, it went into the android is upgrading thing fine.
So I guess it's a directional thing, where you can go forwards in time but not backwards. Which was where I was coming from on Illusion 6.0.
Hey XDA, I haven't been on here since my Samsung S2 years ago. I picked up a new moto Z for daydream, (amazon 499 special, 64 gb luna grey unlocked, retus software, 650-03). I bought it from the american amazon, and I am in canada. I popped in my Sasktel sim card and it works perfectly.
My questions are:
How do I manually flash nougat?
If I flash to the rogers 45 firmware, will I still be able to use my Sasktel sim?
How long until nougat comes out regardless? Should I just wait?
If I do flash to this "rogers 45 nougat", can I go back to my "vanilla" stock later? ( i just want daydream now, i bought the headset already. then when my area gets nougat, ill flash back to my phones nougat.. or does it make a difference?)
Sorry for the really random questions. I couldn't find the answers to these on the forums or on google. (reddit has been saying just wait, and don't flash)
You can try this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/how-to/easy-flash-to-nougat-tutorial-unlocked-t3514245 - I had success flashing the Rogers 45 firmware (am on retca software channel) but for the life of me couldn't get the Nougat update to install. I'm on Telus and had no issues with my SIM card working after I flashed to the Rogers 45. Flashed back to the retca official firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/moto-z-official-firmware-downloads-t3449837) this morning with no problems.
Another issue I'm running into is that I unlocked it and for the life of me I can't seem to get the phone locked again. Minor issue but that "your phone is unlocked/untrustworthy" message when you boot up is annoying

Just flash the patched bootlogo you can find here... (or, better, make one as I liked more and asked for... )

Going to start a new thread so as not to hijack this one
I'll try to give you some "sparse" answers...
- Rogers is a "not carrier locked" software so, no problem with any sim... to be honest it hasn't any special at all!
It's preferred only because between the "leaked" software versions it is the only leaked in .45 and not in .17 subversion... and a .45 is needed for Nougat OTA to apply.
If you are already on a .45 I don't think you really need to flash Roger to have the sideload OTA to apply...
- if you have your full software version on pc to flash in case, yes, you can come back from rogers BUT *only* until you are still on MM.
On this phone Nougat OTA updates a LOT of things (bootloader, baseband, perhaps something on GPT too...) and is *NOT* reversible. Or, at least, not in an easy (as safe...) way... Some have poked with it and.... we have had first bricks... (quite hard ones...).
So?
So I would eventually try in another way.
DISCLAIMER: this isn't tested first hand by me. Some other ( @erfanoabdi) in chat with me reported that it worked for him, but I've to warn that as ALL hacking & tweaking operations something could go wrong (read: bootloop & eventually soft bricks... I don't think hard bricks anyway, BUT this only my-own-opinion, ok? )
Said that... my idea is making things simpler. More... many people are reporting issues with some of the upgraded parts on Nougat (wifi, Bluetooth, etc...) AND upgraded bootloader (and GPT?) are main problems if we want to return to MM, so... let's limit the upgrade to only what's really needed...
Steps should be:
- unlock bootloader
- Flash TWRP in fastboot/fastload mode
- take a *FULL* backup of *ALL* partitions by TWRP (yes, system image too!!) and put it in a safe place (no, your phone or microSD is *not* a safe place...)
- download full Nougat retmx firmware (the only N available at moment...)
- go in fastboot/fastload mode and flash *only* boot.img and system.img using mfastload commands
- enter directly in TWRP (don't boot!) and flash patch for unencrypted kernel
- wipe cache, dalvik and *format* data (yes, format, not only wipe it...). WARNING: this will erase all the contents of your internal storage memory, so take a backup before...
- Reboot...
It should boot fine on Nougat... :fingers-crossed:
(and mantaining your ret channel, not changing it to retmx probably...)
After eventually we'll talk about root...
This way it should be ready to return to MM if needed using the same procedure (changing only boot.img and system.img with MM ones...).
Obviously this is a raw description of procedures... it is written considering that you have good knowledge of the matter and you know how to install and use drivers, adb & fastboot commands, TWRP and so on...
For more info or doubts... ask @erfanoabdi :laugh:

Wow! Thank you for the response! This answered pretty much all of my questions, but also sparked a few more. The Moto Z was a pretty big purchase for me so I am in no hurry to lose functionality. A lot of people are using translators on here, so I'll be simple (sorry if it comes off as blunt or rude, typing with translators in mind)
I want to stay on android 7. Downgrading to 6.0 is not a worry for me.
I want to get future updates from my carrier. (official android/moto updates and security patches. I want to be able to use the "Google Tango" mod, if it comes out)
I want to be able to use the projector mod and daydream.
I do not plan on rooting my phone (maybe later), and I do not want to unlock my bootloader.
Will the retmx nougat be different then the copy of nougat I would get from retus?
Finally, is there any benefit to waiting for the OTA? Or am I getting the exact same copy of nougat on XDA, that I would in three weeks from OTA? I already bought the daydream headset, am I waiting for nothing?
*two more questions I guess*
Do I need a SD card?
do I need to unlock my bootloader to do this upgrade?
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/how-to/update-to-7-0-nougat-xt1650-03-retus-t3513095)
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/how-to/easy-flash-to-nougat-tutorial-unlocked-t3514245)
Sorry for all the questions. I have looked all over XDA and haven't been able to find an answer (reddit, and google too :/). I am hoping that other people will be able to read this, and have their questions answered as well.
Again, thank you. You guys are really smart.

Awesome, so I would probably want to take note of my retus (not retca, because I bought mine from the american amazon, right?). Do I need to unlock my bootloader to get regular android 7? or did you root as well as upgrade?

Yup, you'll want the retus firmware I would think. I'm not sure if you have to unlock your bootloader, I did only because I was having issues with the Nougat update and thought that might be why but it didn't make a difference. I did get the Nougat update to install this morning though, tried it on another computer (stupid ADB). I did not root though, just unocked my bootloader and did the Rogers flash then the Noughat sideload.
I'd try it without unlocking the bootloader, if you get an error saying "can't read file <###>" when trying to adb sideload the Nougat update, try different ADB drivers or a different computer first before unlocking it. The couple people I know that have chimed in say they're unlocked as well but haven't indicated whether you need to be or not.
Based on your expressed needs... I'll just wait your OTA. Nothing more. It's only a matter of weeks anyway...
Sorry for being a newb and asking here but I'm finding it difficult to get my head around this.
I was originally on MM and upgraded to Nougat on unlocked I international Moto Z.
I then decided to install TWRP, root and try a new ROM. If I want to go back to stock Nougat can't it just be a case of flashing the Nougat update I have download on my computer through ODIN or is it going to be a little more complex than that?
Thanks for any help

Ok, I'll try it without unlocking the bootloader and let you know what happens. Is your new version of nougat working properly (unrooted?)? Is there a difference between the nougat I am going to flash, and the OTA i'll get in a few weeks? (If you say there is no difference, I'll flash it ASAP without unlocking boot loader and let you know. Working daydream, playstore, and moto mods right?)
Again, thank you for helping a noob like me out.

Seems to be working properly, at least from what I remember of Nougat on my 6P. I've had not force closes or other issues. I haven't tried Daydream apps out yet, but they did install fine (which they wouldn't under Marshmallow - got the "not compatible with your device" message). Play Store works fine, Incipio Battery Moto Mod works fine, haven't tested the others yet.
As far as what's different between this version and the OTA in a few weeks, I have no clue - but from what I gather this is a stock Nougat pulled from a device that got the OTA (don't quote me on that though hah). As for a few weeks, where are you hearing that? Can't get an answer out of Telus at all here and am wondering if maybe they're working on pushing it out as 7.1.x instead of 7.0. Who knows...
Let me know how it goes without unlocking the boot loader, having a ***** of a time trying to get it relocked lol (not the end of the world though).

Hey so I got it onto 7.0 finally. I ended up unlocking my bootloader. I didn't try without it, I read somewhere that it could cause a soft brick. Just wanted to say thanks to you guys that helped and Prfndhatrdofman (if he reads this) for his guide.
PS
holy ****ing ****. **** adb. **** android studio. **** drivers. And ****ing .zip extentions (took me like 30 minutes to put .zip on the end of Blur_Version...zip. Yes, I am an idiot).
Telus appears to have finally updated their update page for moto z nougat. Tentative date of December 19.

Cool. And ya re ADB haha
The link below is a DEBLOATED flashable zip of the LG V20 10p ROM. I extracted it from the latest 10p KDZ file using kdztools and python 2.7 on Windows. I built the ROM from the extraction using Superrs kitchen version 3 on Linux.
Tons of bloat removed.
I purposely didn't remove WiFi calling, VPN files, and LG Update center in case you want to install some LG apps.
I have added the Google Pixel Launcher because it's so quick. It's optional to use if you want to or not.
I used Superr's kitchen to debloat this plus some manual cut and paste.
READ ALL WARNINGS BEFORE PROCEEDING
This rom is not rooted but you can flash magisk or SuperSU to root it. It does not flash recovery. It does not encrypt.
Using magisk it works with both Samsung and Android [email protected] which is the main reason I built it.
Issues: none i know of but let me know please! Also, see warnings below
TO DO's: you tell me
Flash at your own risk. I'm not responsible if your device gets bricked.
10p Warnings based on what we know:
WARNING #1 You must flash the 10p modem and bootloader for this to work. If you don't you will soft brick.
WARNING #2 Once you go to 10p modem and bootloader you can't go back to previous versions. If you try you will HARD brick your device.
WARNING #3 10P rom only works with 10p modem and 10p bootloader. Any other combo SOFT bricks.
WARNING #4 TWRP backups of previous versions will not restore correctly once you are on 10p. When you restore a previous version (10k and before) you will soft brick. You can unbrick by just installing the 10p ROM, modem, and bootloader over the top of your restore *****Restores and Backups of 10p roms work just fine.
BOTTOM LINE: Going to 10p is a TOTAL commitment and there probably will never be a way to go back. That said, I'm on 10p and so far it works great.
Version 3 changes: fixed a mic issue

Clean install instructions: twrp backup, wipe, install ROM, install 10p modem, install 10p bootloader, install root of your choice, reboot
Dirty install works fine over Weta ROM or NATF ROM, but not over aosp or lineage roms: twrp backup, install ROM, install 10p modem, install 10p bootloader, install root of your choice, reboot. Note: when you dirty flash you do lose any system apps you had before but your data partition is retained.

yes sir. I can confirm that Magisk 13.3 works like a champ for me. Magisk 13.xx has always needed to be reinstalled like once every two weeks for me, no matter what ROM I am on. Samsung and Google [email protected] both work nicely too on this rom.

So happy to see more love for my beloved v20 going to dirty flash tomorrow and see how things go. One question I have is why for any reason would someone wanna go back to 10k? Does this update have any flaws that would make someone regret updating? New updates are always good right?
If anybody has dirty flashed from MEGAROM with no problems please let us know.
MEGAROM h918 10k
Deodex?
Great job on this, any chance for a deodex version so ee try some of the mods for this masterpiece?

well, the main reason to stay on 10k would be that you're guaranteed to be able to root and TWRP. if you make a mistake and lose TWRP for whatever reason while on 10p, you're fscked. you can wait for root, but I doubt it's coming any time soon
Bluetooth performance seem to be on point in this one as opposed to 10k!

So you're on 10K ? Then there's a good chance you flashed the 10K KDZ from lg-firmwares.com, or one of the TWRP zips from xda. The KDZ for 10K is messed up, just look inside it and see. Among other things, it contains a misc.bin (not supposed to be there) which overwrites the one (unique) on you phone, thus erasing your WLAN mac address and other stuff, possibly affecting Bluetooth.
Before I bricked, I noticed this when I used my phone as FTP server, the IP address would change at every reboot. At that time I didn't know why, but assumed it was just some temporary bug with the stock rom.
LG screwed up again.
Edit: OK, @me2151 has just informed me that the problem might not have been caused by wiping misc partition after all. There may been some confusion on the matter. But remains to be seen I guess. @dimm0k may have some input.
Nope seems it it the case like I first said. More info.
need root to try this stuck on 10p sadly
Does xposed work? If so which one is recomended for 10p?

So you're on 10K ? Then there's a good chance you flashed the 10K KDZ from lg-firmwares.com, or one of the TWRP zips from xda. The KDZ for 10K is messed up, just look inside it and see. Among other things, it contains a misc.bin (not supposed to be there) which overwrites the one (unique) on you phone, thus erasing your WLAN mac address and other stuff, possibly affecting Bluetooth.
Before I bricked, I noticed this when I used my phone as FTP server, the IP address would change at every reboot. At that time I didn't know why, but assumed it was just some temporary bug with the stock rom.
LG screwed up again.
Edit: OK, @me2151 has just informed me that the problem might not have been caused by wiping misc partition after all. There may been some confusion on the matter. But remains to be seen I guess. @dimm0k may have some input.

I'm not entirely sure how a messed up misc partition would affect Bluetooth in general, as I'm usually using my phone to connect to headphones or car stereo, but with a messed up misc partition your Bluetooth address is no longer what it was when you first unboxed the device. see my post here if you're curious about the misc partition https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73439967&postcount=14
De-bloat removes clock app. Without this there's no alarm. Can you add it back?

One Debloated Version is interesting
Without the risk of sounding dumb, can someone please explain to me the difference between NPS26.116-61 and NPS26.116-45-5? I have the XT1806 in the US (3GB\32GB)...How many variants of this phone exist?!

NPS26.116-61 has December 1 security patch, updated thermal configs, and camera updates, just google the rest of the maintenance release notes.
XT1802 to XT1806
Usually the variations are the GSM bands, which models have NFC / DTV, single / dual sim, etc.
No worries on the kernel, glad to see it put to good use
This worked like a charm, thank you!
Hello,
Thank you for making this ROM.
My Moto somehow lost both the IMEI's and faced no network issues.
After trying everything, your ROM worked for me and had resolved all the issues in it.
NOTE: We didn't had any backup of any kind but this ROM still saved the day.
Thank you!
Continuing to rise and modify the different variants of rom stock? how they did with the moto g older? As a collection of stock ROMs
For example:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/rom-stock-motorola-4g-lollipop-rom-t3142816
Please kindly upload it on any other cloud storage .
I can't open the zip it's giving me some error
Can this be dirty flashed over stock, rooted NPS26.116-45 in order to get the latest security patch?
I'm computerless at the moment if anyone could mirror for the guy having issues downloading it would be appreciated (all I have is gdrive anyway) sorry man

This only flashes /system /oem /and boot. It shouldn't mess with anything on DATA. It's safe to try, but I'd recommend backing up just in case.
I'm 90% sure it would work, as a dirty update. I've used it to dirty reflashes the whole system and not data and it worked fine. just be aware that magisk is weird ever since v15. Reflashes of it may be necessary.
Lost my IMEI by flashing custom roms too

hi, @ekamran
I also experienced you issue, no IMEI so no network, tried everything even this one. Still no IMEI. What are the things you tried prior to this to recover your IMEI? THanks.

Hey, This ROM is the only thing that has recovered my IMEI.
Before this, I had been in situation where my phone was stuck in BootLoader Mode only and couldn't even access Recovery Mode.
Then I had tried to flash the official firmware via Fastboot method of which some files installed and some didn't but fortunately, I regained access to Original Recovery Mode.
Then I had flased TWRP again and then flashed this ROM.
Everything sorted.
Thanks for developer
And keep it up
Does it work for the Indian variant

We only need boot and system . is there any risk in flashing OEM.img

i had changed the moto stock font. no risk, i think only the stock rom uses it normally. contains moto apps and stuff. when you flash an xml.zip it flashes it. i had originally tried to include the modem partition too but it was giving me issues. this is a stock rom so i included stock files, if you had somehow wiped or corrupted oem, stock rom (and possibly others) might not work correctly so i included it.

Ok. I've put together some packages to help people who unlocked their bootloaders
and got stuck on version 10.0.13, 10.0.14, or 10.0.16, or who unlocked
(or will unlock) on version 10.0.19 and wish to get whatever the next OTA version is.
reserve.10.0.*.HD61CB.7z has all the files needed to re-insert your reserve.img where
it should be and correct its permissions. It should allow you to OTA ifyou don't root
after this (this uses a temporary root), or if you unroot before trying to take it. Pick
the version that matches whatever version you are currently on.

0. This script starts at the normal system screen.
1. Unzip.
2. If you're on windows, extract the contents of platform-tools_r29.0.5-windows.zip

3. Run fix-reserve.sh or fix-reserve.bat for linux or windows respectively.
4. Follow the instructions in the prompt. (when it says 'when you're booted' that
means booted and unlocked (pin, pattern, whatever. userdata needs to be decrypted
at this point)).
5. It will reboot you. Magisk manager will still be installed but you will otherwise
not be rooted. The magisk_patched.img in this folder will root you permanently
if you would like.

Hope this helps! This has been tested to work on a device unlocked on 10.0.13,
and there is little reason to believe it won't work on others. Also, if you use the
msm tool for these devices, and wish to unlock and continue to get OTA updates,
you must use this package, as MSM relocks you, and will destroy reserve.img again.
Those of you who have used this, please keep an eye out for updates from TMO
and report back whether you were able to update.
Confirmed that it works with brand new OTAs. Several members of the TG group
took the update from 10.0.16 and 10.0.19 without issue after restoring reserve with
these packages.
Thanks for this. So just to be clear, I should be able to run the second part (fix reserve) only and this should put back the .img file so I could theoretically receive the OTA? Is the first part necessary at all? I am on 10.0.16 and would just like to receive the OTA directly. Of course, I would unroot first.
No, you need to do the whole thing.

The first part is necessary if you are on any other version than 10.0.19. You would need a reserve.img dumped from 10.0.16
to ota to 10.0.19, and since most people unlocked before 10.0.19 came out, we're not likely to get ahold of reserve.img for
those versions.
Does the first part perform a clean wipe or just force the OTA to apply even with the file mismatch?

First part does not wipe at all, just an overwrite. It fastboot flashes all the non-device-specific partitions as dumped
from a phone which was updated from 10.0.13 to 10.0.19, so after the first bit, and then restoring the reserve.img, your
phone should in theory be exactly how it would be if you hadn't unlocked, except its unlocked. Confused yet?

Understood. Just to be clear though, this overwrite doesn't result in a replacement of the data partition with a blank partition, correct?
I understand that it's technically not a wipe, but I just want to be certain by doing this process that I won't end up losing all my files and need to restore all my apps again. If I need to, it's fine, just want to know that will happen before I do this process if it will.

Well, standard disclaimers apply for any sort of flash operation on your phone, but no, it should
not delete anything in userdata. The first script pack should not touch it at all, and the second one
doesn't do anything other than push a file and correct permissions and selinux context.
excellent. thanks
Everything worked for me. Also looks like the Magisk patch works as well. So far no issues. Hopefully this will work with the next OTA update.
Very nice! I will probably take a shot of rooting my phone next weekend. Just got done setting my replacement phone up, and not in a rush during the week to do it again.
Update worked perfectly for me. Thanks for this!
directions are very unclear in batch for update part, says it was finished with the Super (after parsing all 12 parts) and then nothing and now when i closed out to try to do the reserve to the boot loader im getting into qualcoms crashdump mode and its saying corrupted force dump kernel_restart. Please advise.

No, it was 'finished' with super. there are more images after that.
Can you get into either fastboot or fastbootd mode?

@ntzrmtthihu777 , I wonder how hard it would be to modify all future snatched OTAs to completely ignore reserve.img? I did see one line in the last one mentioning a specific reserve size.

You would need root at a minimum, and likely a functional TWRP as well. Once you modify the OTA, it will fail the signature check.
