    Post [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][perry] LineageOS 14.1 for Moto E4 Qualcomm

    I've been monitoring this thread for a while, and since it's been 2.5 months since last update, I had wondered the same thing as the other poster had, whether LnOS on E4(Qual) had gone zombie. I went and checked on squid2's forum posting, and saw that he's still active. But he's also...

    Would you mind doing the same for the retail (XT1768) variant? Flashing back to stock didn't help in my case. I got the same "status 7" error as another person here.

    amarc78, sorry for the late response. I flashed the Perry_retail_7.1.1_NPQ26.69-41_cid50 ROM (from https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20E4/Stock/) onto my XT1768 E4, and took a Nandroid after first boot. I hope that suffices. File size is 984MB. Let me know your upload link...

    Thanks to amarc78 for the work. Debloated stock ROMs are best for CDMA carriers like Sprint & VZW. I'm hoping one for the unlocked retail variant (XT1768) will make its way soon. Looking forward to see the list expands.
