I'm trying not to buy a phone that there isn't an LOS ROM for. My problem is that while shopping for the best price on a G7 I've found them listed with model numbers XT1962, XT1962-1, XT1962-4, XT1962-5 and XT1962-6. Does it make any difference to LOS compatibility, and if so which ones should I avoid getting?

The ones I'm looking at in particular are billed as "Unlocked" and according to Motorola the factory unlocked G7 will work on Verizon and its MVNOs, but I don't happen to be able to find a model number among their specs for the phone.

They are all compatible, even Amazon version.

POST IS NOT KIDDING ABOUT BK'ING UP PERSIST and EFS!

Thank you SO MUCH for including the step about backing up EFS and PERSIST partitions. I couldn't figure out what was going on with my phone until I remembered using the command "fastboot erase all" ... If you're interested and reading this please take my advice and DO NOT run that command. Unless you're trying to permanently brick your phone, like HARD, that command will only bring pain haha. Thankfully I followed the step, restored my backup and I'm good to go!:laugh:

    About:
    LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 9 (Pie), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

    LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

    All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

    Introduction:
    This is the unofficial Lineage OS thread for the Motorola G7, codename river.

    We support all the T-Mobile, International, and Project Fi variants, as their bootloaders are unlockable, while we can't support the Verizon and AT&T variants, as their bootloaders are permanently locked.

    03. Unlock your bootloader Instructions here.
    04. Flash your factory firmware image on slot_A
    • Hold power + Volume down untill you reach bootloader (fastboot mode)
    • In your extracted firmware folder open a terminal and flash your firmware files with these commands.
    • NOTE-1: This last step installs vendor.img to slot_b as well.
    05. Use terminal to boot latest twrp.img "fastboot boot twrp.img"
    06. ## Take a backup of EFS, Persist1, Persist2 then store this on your computer in a safe place!! ##
    07. While on Slot_A Flash copypartitions.zip (This step only needs to be completed Once only after updating from stock factory firmwares.)
    08. While in TWRP choose Reboot > bootloader

    09. Now you're ready for ROM Steps below

    ROM - Installation:
    01. Download the ROM, TWRP and GApps from the links above.

    Irrelevant reply, mostly due to error in OP thread;

    In the first paragraph of the About it says this LineageOS is for Android Oreo (8.0) while at the bottom it is claimed for Android Pie (9.0)

    Will be installing soon for better feedback, but just thought you'd like to be aware of that.

    Also, would this include the Security Patch of the most recent official release or is that something not to concern myself over with LineageOS releases?

    Gotta love xda thanks for letting me know that xda reverted all my corrections to the main post over night.

    So it's android 9.0 built with latest sources
