FIRST OFF: If you have not bought the phone yet and plan on getting it: DON'T. The camera is broken and Motorola refuses to communicate with their customers. Is a fix coming? I someone working on it? Who knows.

I've had the phone for a few months now and it runs like a dream. What's the issue with the camera?

I bought my Motorola edge 30 ultra (moto x 30 pro CN) from Aliexpress
it came with global ROM ( EQS_G_S3SQ32.16_16_28)

*I did try to Change the update channel by using the command "fastboot oem config carrier reteu" to set the update channel to reteu. it didn't change it, still shows (software channel: RETCN )

*it works after i Flash the global Firmware (EQS_RETEU_12_S3SQ32.16-53-9) from (Lolinet)
after Flashing the firmware do not exit fastboot Change the update channel by using the command "fastboot oem config carrier reteu" to set the update channel to reteu then you can exit fastboot.






********
be careful *******

FLASHING the global Firmware (EQS_RETEU_12_S3SQ32.16-53-9) from (Lolinet) BY USING STEP#3 FROM @Killuminati91 GUIDE (BY FASTBOOT) WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA .

TAKE BACKUP FOR :
WHATSAPP
GOOGLE BACKUP FOR (APPS DATA)
SMS
PHONE CALLS
PHOTOS & VIDEIOS
I did the entire update procedure for the latest global version (EQS_RETEU_12_S3SQS32.16-72-14-2) available on Lolinet and the channel remains RETCN. After updating the firmware the cell phone restarted automatically, I turned it off and put it back in fastboot mode and used the commands to change the channel from RETCN to RETEU but it didn't change. I did the procedure twice and nothing..
 
Hello everyone, I got a device already unlocked by Aliexpress, I was already successful to put it in CN and again in BR, it is not possible to use the streaming services. I have 3 and for 2 days a week I use them a lot... I saw some ways to go back to CN and block again. I found the NC even better, but seeing reports of the risk, I would like to know if someone has already re-blocked it.

I went through the same situation... And when I repeat the process but for CN, I got ROM CN and BR channel, lol... So I believe that if you repeat the process, it will start in EU

Passei pela mesma situação... E quando repito o processo mas para CN, consegui ROM CN e canal BR, rs... acredito que se repetir o processo, vai Então começar em EU
are you BR too? I managed to change the update channel to RETEU. I was using the update method described by cascade128 and deleting the commands it says and that's why I wasn't able to change the OTA update channel. To change it, you have to leave these commands but everything you have saved on your cell phone will be deleted. I've also done everything to use normal apps, mainly bank apps, but there are 3 bank apps and googlepay that I use, which doesn't work at all. I already rooted with magisk with safetynet and shamiko modules. I also used airfrozen and it is not 100% normal. It helped a lot with most banking apps but there are 3 apps and gpay that still detect it and I can't use it.

I have just successfully re-locked my bootloader as well. Getting ready to sell this phone if Motorola doesnt fix the camera soon. Really tired of their refusal to communicate.

Here is the full guide to re-lock:
Hello friend, after you went back to the Chinese ROM did the banking apps and googlepay work? I'm having problems with banking apps even though I'm using magisk with safetynet and shamiko modules. I also use airfrozen but I still can't use some apps.

I'm also wanting to go back to Chinese ROM and lock the bootloader again but I'm not sure how to do that. The cell phone is very good but not using some apps that I usually use is discouraging.

Yes friend, you can go to lolinet website go to the folder (EQS CN) download the oldest version (the first of the three from top to bottom) unzip open the file flashfile.xml with notepad (Or the one you prefer) copy everything and paste it on the site that will general the codes (the link is on the site I posted above) have magisk installed and saftnetyfix module (Install to enable OEM unlock in developer ) enabled uninstall magisk (by magisk itself ) format device and enable USB debugging, in bootloader Connect to the PC open CMD in the ROM folder and change the channel to retcn then copy all the codes from the website and paste in CMD and wait when finished restart the device configure (or skip) and activate USB debugging And connect to Lenovo Recue it should recognize your device and it will download the latest ROM follow the steps until restart installed skip and enable USB debugging open CMD and lock with Fastboot oem Lock You will have EVERYTHING working, Banks, Google play, FHD streaming (except Android auto and Ok Google)

For those who don't know, with Setedit (Playstore) it's possible to edit System locales for your region in my case pt-BR and a lot of system stuff and everything you install will stay in your language, it doesn't require Root nor command in adb
I'm also from BR and I'm having a headache with this device. Mainly with banking apps and googlepay. Assists google and android auto nor use. I think I'll take courage and do this procedure to go back to the Chinese ROM and lock the bootloader again.

Could you make a video on Youtube doing the replacement of the screen??
It's so simple it's not worth it, remove back unscrew the plastic cover at the bottom about 7 screw's unclip all cables remove the bezel and thread the cable back through a small gap. You can then remove old screen. thread cable of New screen through the same gap plug or cables back in and test before putting back on and sticking the screen down. Literally the hardest thing is removing back cover if I did it again would literally take me 10 minutes. Don't have to remove any battery or motherboard just watch the teardown video literally only need to watch last couple of minutes.

Excellent information, but the video is always good, as inexperienced users make a lot of mistakes. (kkkkk).
Where did you buy the screen? Did you buy it with the frame?
Leave the supplier link.
Good luck

Buying with frame will make it a lot harder and more mistakes will be made, the teardown is enough just ignore 90% of it

So I'm on EU ROM coming from CN phone, I'm not getting updates so can I flash newer ROM from fastboot or do I need to use the guide again?
Thanks for all your answers 😃🙂

If you already have motorola's official EU rom and it's not updating OTA, change the software channel and test OTA.

I did the following steps.

First insert the Retail ROM (official by motorola). https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/oneli/official/RETAIL/

I suggest not inserting the latest version of the ROM. That way you can test OTA updates.


Then I changed the software channel to "reteu". Before it was "retcn" and OTA didn't work.

Finally I locked the bootloader. IMPORTANT: You can only block if the installed ROM is official motorola.

Note: At each step, I did a factory master reset.

    Join our Telegram Group at t.me/moto30u!
    The guide and all infos are always
    updated on Rentry.

    ATTENTION: As with all modifications his will void your warranty and you might brick your device if you don't know what you are doing.
    I do not take any responsibility for your device.

    Safetynet does NOT pass if you dont use magisk afterwards.
    Widevine is L1 but Apps like Netflix do not work.

    Your device identifier will STAY XT2241-1, this is not a full conversion.
    DO NOT RE-LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER! THIS WILL DEFINITELY BRICK THE DEVICE.

    You need adb and fastboot installed, also you should know the basic functionality of both.

    01. Unlock your Bootloader

    Go to the official Motorola website and follow their well documented guide.
    Make sure to backup all your files before unlocking as your device will be wiped.

    02. Make a backup of ALL partitions on your device (Optional but RECOMMENDED)
    Download the Motorola Rescue and Smart Assistant. This will allow you to download the latest CN Firmware.
    Use the "rescue" function, download the firmware and flash it to your device.

    We do this to root the device with magisk to backup all of our partitions before flashing the Global.
    You can find the downloaded Firmware at "C:\ProgramData\RSA\Download\RomFiles".

    Copy the boot.img to your device, install magisk on the phone and use the patcher function on the boot.img.
    Then copy the newly generated patched .img to your PC and flash it / or boot it with "fastboot flash new-boot.img" or "fastboot boot new-boot.img".

    Once you reboot back into the system open a CMD-prompt on your PC, open an adb-shell as root and backup your partitions to your internal memory.

    Code:
    adb shell
    su

    dd if=/dev/block/sde28 of=/sdcard/xbl_sc_logs.img

    You can find all img files in your internal memory afterwards. Copy them to your PC and keep them somewhere safe. These contain IMEI, modem etc. so dont share them.

    03. Flash the global Firmware
    Download a copy of the global firmware. Maybe we will find other versions on lolinet later on.
    Extract the firmware and open the included flashfile.xml. Copy and paste the contents into the formular on this website to get all necessary fastboot commands.

    Boot your phone into fastboot and open a cmd windows in the folder of the global firmware. Copy the commands from the website UP TO and including "fastboot oem config unset cmdl" and paste them into your cmd prompt.

    04. Change your update channel
    Use the command "fastboot oem config carrier reteu" to set your update channel to reteu (Which is EU).

    05. First Boot / black screen
    Use "fastboot reboot" to boot into the system. The welcome screen now looks different and you can select more languages.
    Go through the initial setup, if you skip the google sign in you might not get a black screen.

    IF you get a black screen at any point (with a non working back button) reboot your phone into fastboot (power button + VOL down).
    Use the following commands to delete all data and reboot the device. You will now be able to go through the setup.

    Code:
    fastboot erase apdp
    fastboot erase apdpb
    fastboot erase debug_token
    fastboot erase carrier
    fastboot erase userdata
    fastboot erase metadata
    fastboot erase ddr
    fastboot reboot

    --> Check OTA updates, you should be able to update to 16-16-28 immediatly.

    Think that's only if you restore original firmware

    Remembering that the original firmware is the CN ROM. Better not lock.

    Global Firmware:
    - EQS_G_S3SQ32.16-16-22 (Brazilian)
    - EQS_G_S3SQ32.16_16_28 (Thanks to @onken)

    Where to find Firmware:
    - Lolinet
    - Rescue and Smart Assistant (only for your original device)

    It would be great if some Edge 30 Ultra buyers could download the global firmware through the Rescue and Smart Assistant and share a zip.

    Tools:
    -
    Universal Mount System RW (Guide)
    -> Fix for Android 12

    - Universal Safetynet Fix Magisk Module

    How to Update:
    If you don't get OTA updates simply follow these steps. You need a PC with working global ADB and fastboot.

    01. Download the latest Firmware from lolinet
    02. Extract it, open servicefile.xml and copy the contents into this website
    03. Reboot your phone into fastboot (adb reboot fastboot or press and hold Power + Volume Down)
    04. Open a CMD window in the extracted folder, paste the commands from the website and hit enter
    05. Don't disconnect the phone until the update has finished.

    It might be possible to upgrade by putting the firmware zip into the root of your phone, booting into recovery and selecting install firmware from zip. I didnt test this yet.

    I updated my locked bootloader device(frankenstein:))) via fastboot with no data loss🥳

    Important!!! Only when updating the rom of the same region. e.g RETEU: S3SQ32.16-16-28 --> S3SQ32.16-53-9 --> S3SQ32.16-53-13 such as.
    Don't RETCN --> RETEU versions!!!

    Steps:

    1. We extract the rom/updated rom .zip
    e.g : XT2241-2_EQS_RETEU_12_S3SQ32.16-53-13_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_cid50_CFC.xml
    2. We put the flashfile.bat we created (2.post: ''02. Extract, open servicefile.xml and copy the content to this site'') into the rom folder you extracted. Edit, we delete these lines:
    fastboot erase apdp
    fastboot erase apdpb
    fastboot erase debug_token
    fastboot erase carrier
    fastboot erase userdata
    fastboot erase metadata
    fastboot erase ddr
    And save it.
    3. Download the mfastboot ADB i gave and put it in the rom folder you extracted.
    4. Everything is ready, put your device in fastboot mode and click on the ''flashfile.bat'' file.

    Enter when the flashing is finished. Your device will start.
    Up-to-date software is ready to use without deleting any of your data. Enjoy👍
