Oh and my Pixel 6 Pro just rudely reminded me of another flaw: its touch accuracy is awful.

It's the okayest phone I've ever owned. I won't recommend it to anyone though. It's the first phone over ever owned (and I've owned Androids since 2.3, and even Windows Mobile before that) that didn't impress me in some way. Camera seems only ok for me, and lacking certain features. Camera...

Not sure what happened to the link, but I tried it And it didn't work. They gave me a refund thankfully, but they said they weren't able to get the code.

Which site did you use? I have AT&T and want to get the unlock code but I don't want to get scammed.

Now that we have XDA Computing, can we get a subforum for MCU (micro controller units), such as Arduinos, Adafruit, Seeeduino, etc? That would be cool. Also, I'm willing to volunteer to be a mod for such a forum if needed, although I don't know what the requirements are and if I'd meet them.

I have had my ZTE Axon 30 for about 3 weeks I think, maybe more like 2. I like it a lot. The only two quirks I've noticed is that the screen is not as responsive as I would like (might be the screen protector as I put it on before even powering the phone on, since I cracked my last screen)...

Just to be clear, did you try using the stock, factory firmware files and: fastboot flash partition gpt.bin fastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img fastboot reboot-bootloader I soft-bricked and did those three commands, then was able to flash back to stock via LMSA.

When you plug in a physical keyboard, there should be an option in your notifications about the physical keyboard, you should be able to make changes that way, or in the phone's settings.

Just flashed the EU firmware, works flawlessly so far!

I would assume so, but I don't really know why anyone would want to relock.

Ouch...

I'll check it out soon. I tried RETAR from Argentina earlier, and my phone wouldn't boot with it.

Can you tell me the Model number on your phone box? Should say: "Model: XT" and then some numbers.

Awesome, thanks! And to verify, you do indeed have Google Apps preinstalled?

I would think yes, if you flash different firmware, locking the BL would likely cause problems. It's very difficult to do anything w/o unlocked bootloader, except sometimes rooting is doable. That's pretty much the behavior I expect. If they come to this subforum, we might be able to help.

Google Pay works. But according to the Motorola website you should be able to relock the bootloader if yours doesn't work. But there's never any guarantee. If you need your device secure, recommend don't unlock bl or root, or wait to see if there's a root option without bootloader unlock that...

Magisk has a "Magisk Hide" which will allow it to pass SafetyNet, and most things which check on device security will think the device is secure. But unlocking BL and rooting does make the device less secure, and therefore incurs its own risks apart from bricking or damaging the device.

I'm not paying to download.

Could be worth a shot

Any update yet?

So you got the Edge S and want GApps? Basically you unlock your bootloader, root with Magisk, then install MagiskGApps. DISCLAIMER: UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY, AND DOING ALL THESE THINGS IN THIS GUIDE MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE/BRICKING YOUR PHONE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR...

I shouldn't be this antsy about it, but I really want the gapps on my Edge! I thought installing them would be easier but apparently not...

I actually don't know. I would like to summon @sd_shadow to ask, where is the best place to upload firmware?

So far I like the Motorola UI, but it really is personal preference. I've never tried PixelExperience. As for Ready For, I can't say. But starting with Android 10, desktop mode was built-in as a developer option. I haven't tested that feature at all, but I imagine it's decent and similar to...

I tried that, none of them worked. TWRP shows "System" and "system_ext." Both seem to mount fine in TWRP, but when flashing I get the same error. The gapps files I'm using are less than 90MB. It says "Current space: 0" so it seems to think that there's fully zero extra space on System...

I'm sorry, beats me. You may try calling Motorola Support or chatting with their support.

Gotcha. Well, hopefully one of the regions with Gapps will be available soon (or someone will figure out how to make gapps installable via TWRP; have you seen the issues I mentioned having?)

I think I just used the global one here: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/

Awesome, thanks! So the nio RETLA is for the global, where RETCN is for Chinese?

I'm afraid I don't know. The Edge S has codenames NIO and XT2125-4. What "codename" are you asking for specifically?

Hi, is there anyone with a Moto G100 that can download the Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant program, then download the G100 ROM and upload it here for us?

Maybe this isn't the right place, but is there a way to trick RSA to thinking I have the G100 so I can download the global ROM instead of the Edge S/Chinese ROM that I actually DO have?

Trying to flashh Gapps to my Moto Edge S via TWRP. when I attempted to flash NikGapps and BiTGApps, I get the following error messages: NikGapps: "Installation Failed! Looks like Storage space is full" "Updater process ended with ERROR: 1 Error installing zip file '[file]'" BiTGApps: "Updater...

So I found TWRP, seems to be experimental. It's not mine and I don't have permission from the creator(s) to share it, otherwise I would. But when I attempted to flash NikGapps and BiTGApps, I get the following error messages: NikGapps: "Installation Failed! Looks like Storage space is full"...

OK I GOT IT!!! So I had to: 1. Find firmware from RSA 2. fastboot flash partition gpt.bin 3. fastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img 4. fastboot reboot-bootloader 5. Now RSA reads it, and I was able to do a full recovery via RSA

Oops, wrong thread.

Got an older version of fastboot, the commands are recognized, but slot-count is 1, and there are no slot suffixes.

Tried that, it just displayed all the options like if I typed help. So it's a different result. Kind of curious about why it's different.

OK, so I found an experimental version of TWRP, and I switched the active slot to "B." I thought I switched it back, but apparently not. Now I found "fastboot --set-active=a" command online but it throws an error at me, "unknown option -- set-active=a." Anyone know how to fix this? Do I need...

I imagine it'll be available as soon as the phone itself is, just a matter of someone downloading the G100 ROM with RSA, then uploading it for the rest of us. I also imagine the process will simply be to download it, and rename it so RSA will flash it instead of the Chinese ROM for us, but...

Not sure what you mean by docking station. How long is your screen off delay?

I couldn't find it, can you link it?

It's worth noting that I cancelled my Giztop purchase and bought from Aliexpress instead. Can't remember if I actually said that or not.

Basically the title. I received my Chinese Edge S today, so far I like it but I've barely used it. I thought I got a model with Gapps preloaded, but I was wrong (big surprise). I sideloaded Play Store, but haven't gotten much farther. Unlocking the bootloader was a little difficult, I had to...

Cool. I'll consider it after I get it. But most likely the Chinese ROM will be fine. The description says it comes with Google services and has English language. I'll probably only try to flash Global if I run into issues.

I bought mine from AliExpress, but I've also bought from Giztop.com before and it was fine. I don't have the phone yet, it should be arriving probably in another week or so. I don't know of any bootloader unlock, nor having access to a global ROM to flash. As far as buying phones from outside...

I live in the US, but I ordered an Edge S before I realized that the G100 might launch in the USA soon. Even so, it's looking like it might be more like $500, and I paid less than $400 for the Chinese Edge S. Hopefully the $100 savings will be worth it. But value-wise, I'm very excited for...

So I've been looking into getting a new phone, and I've been seeing some of these cheap clone phones, looking like Mate 40 or other $700+ phones but being less than $200. They claim to still have a decent processor and screen and all that. The one in particular I'm looking at has a 7.3" screen...
