Android 10 on Moto g6 play

[Wid_w]

Ok my friends, it's true that family moto g6 (specifically g6 play) will receive android 10? if it's possitive... When will we have news about this?

Also ... does anyone know if there is any rom in development with android 10 for this model (lineage, RR, etc.)?

If anyone knows about this, I think several would appreciate this valuable information.

Answer 1, just wait for Moto to announce it, usually they announce when there gonna do a soak test of a new Android version so whenever Moto does that will be some sort of answer however soak test usually go on for a few months basically it's prolly gonna be almost another year before we hear anything I mean we just got official pie about 2 months ago now after they did soak test for months.

Answer 2, there is not even a custom rom like rr or anything for this device for Oreo or pie so doubtable. Best you can do is try out gsi A only builds, custom rom means it's made specifically for this device where as gsi is compatible with any phone that shipped with Android 8. There is a gsi thread you can out

Answer 3: Motorola has already confirmed that the Moto G6 Play will only get one major OS upgrade, and being that we got Pie now that's all it will get unless a DEV figures out how to make a custom rom for Android 10.

I have no WiFi right now or I'd already be trying to build for us. They finally fixed the sources for our phone. Phh has Android 10 GSIs out. They'll boot if you flash the Oreo vendor, oem, and boot images first but it's very alpha at the moment. You also need to flash phh's modified magisk from his first Android 10 release. LTE is broken (3G works), and it has some graphics glitches. Most everything else is working fine though. It's not a daily driver yet but it's getting there fast. It will break LTE on stock. To fix that just flash your firmware and let it setup until it reactivates, then you can restore a backup like normal.

That's cool, I was just adding to the answer as to the number of os upgrades that Moto phones get, as far as Phh's android 10 you should be fine as long as you include vendor partition with your stock backup.

@Spaceminer Could you link to the sources for the Moto G6 Play?? I have the XT1922-7 Boost Mobile variant.

phh built an AOSP 10 test image for us which fixes the bootloop on Pie vendor. I tried it last night and everything seemed to work except sound. LTE works after adding the APN settings.

Glad to have it running with Pie and more stable, those are great news

Can you guide us? I install the test img but cant boot on pie vendor

First flash the latest stock boot.img to remove any leftover traces of Magisk, which is now incompatible with phh's AOSP 10 builds.
After that you'll need to disable encryption and dm-verity, if you haven't already done that:

- Download the dm-verity + forced encryption disabler zip here

- Boot into TWRP, go to Wipe, and press Format Data. This will wipe everything from the internal storage! Make sure you have backups stored somewhere else.
- Reboot > Reboot Recovery
- Copy the disabler zip to your phone and flash it

Now the test image should be able to boot on Pie vendor.

(There might be other/better ways of doing this, but those are the steps that worked for me)

Thanks, it works. We need to find a way to restore the sound. I try a few zips they send on the telegram group but nothing.

Did you format using the "yes" option? I tried those steps but couldn't get it to boot, but formatting with "yes" was the only thing that I didn't do. I didn't think it would be necessary because my encryption was already disabled.

Have you tried flashing Viper4android? It might make the sound work since it uses it's own drivers and has to gain root access. I'd try the one by zackptg5, the same guy who makes the disabler.

Did you flash the stock boot.img? That's all I had to do to make it work, I didn't have to format data since I already have it decrypted.

I want to try but can't root this rom

Under phh's v200 build there's a special magisk he made for his Android 10 GSI.

Maybe I flashed the wrong boot.img... I might've mixed up Oreo and Pie boot images. I have both firmwares sitting right next to each other.

I've tried that along with a few other people in the Moto G6 Telegram group, flashing it just causes bootloops.

That explains my problem. I definitely flashed his magisk. Have you guys tried magisk v20 yet?

Yep, any kind of Magisk makes it bootloop. Someone reported it to phh and his response was "well don't use magisk then" lol

I'll check it out and see what I can do. That's not surprising though. It's extremely alpha, so he's probably just prioritizing stock functionality over everything else right now.

 

[Spaceminer]

I can't get it rooted, but v202 just went up, so I'm going to try my luck with it.
