[Firmware][Official][GUAMP] How to install Firmware MOTO G9 Play official

[piperoman]

This tutorial cover how to install the official motorola firmware in your MOTO G9 Play (Guamp) if you wipe the device. By now do not exist a stable ROM to use in this device, so you can recover the system following these steps. I use a GNU/Linux distro so the steps are using this O.S.

Prerequisites:​

- OEM Unlock: If you wipe the O.S, you already unlock it. To do this follow a tutorial like: https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-twrp-moto-g9-play/
- Install adb and fastboot
- Check you have a Guamp device
- Get Firmware image.

Pre-Steps:​

First of all, install adb and fastboot if you don't have it:

sudo apt install adb fastboot

Second, check if you really have this version of the phone. To do this execute in shell:

fastboot getvar all

gives info about the product, check it is a guamp looking something like:

product: guamp
secure: yes
ro.carrier: reteu
ro.build.fingerprint[0]: motorola/guamp_retailen/guamp:10/Q
ro.build.fingerprint[1]: PX30.30-Q3-38-42/18649:user/releas
ro.build.fingerprint[2]: e-keys
ro.build.version.qcom: LA.UM.8.15.r1-05300-KAMORTA.0

Third, get a valid firmware. Firmware is normally compressed and will need to be unzipped before use, I used the lolinet mirror:

1. Go to lolinet guamp PLAYPL section at: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/guamp/official/PLAYPL/,
2. Look for a Firmware and download it, I have tests XT2083-3_GUAMP_RETEU_10_QPX30.30-Q3-38-69_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-XT2083-3-EUROPE-SAR_CFC.xml and it works well.
3. Uncompress it locally

Steps to flash the image​

Flash all binary required with the following command, if you prefer, you can do it one per one (Check that the image uncompressed have all the files in these commands before execute it, it may vary between versions):

fastboot getvar max-sparse-size && \
fastboot oem fb_mode_set && \
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin && \
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img && \
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img && \
fastboot flash radio radio.img && \
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin && \
fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin && \
fastboot flash logo logo.bin && \
fastboot flash boot boot.img && \
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img && \
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img && \
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.0 && \
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.1 && \
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.2 && \
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.3 && \
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.4 && \
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.5 && \
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.6 && \
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.7 && \
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.8 && \
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.9 && \
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.10 && \
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.11 && \
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.12 && \
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.13 && \
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.14 && \
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.15 && \
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.16 && \
fastboot erase carrier && \
fastboot erase ddr && \
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

Check that all steps are OK, and then you can reboot the device:

fastboot reboot

If everything wen well, you should see the OS fingerprint: 0xc2224571 (or similar) and the device will start with the Motorola firmware normally. Enjoy the device until a stable rom release. Hope this helps.

Nice, but a for loop can be used instead of doing the fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.0 command multiple times.

for i in {0..16}; do fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.$i ; done

The shell should be bash.

Will it work with moto edge 20?

You can also flash with the lenovo moto smart assistant (that's an official Lenovo software for Windows) with the phone connected in recovery mode, but sadly this tool can't complete the task once the bootloader is unlocked. Said that you can extract the rom file just before flashing (and getting the error message), and flashing it with fastboot.
