I`ve tried a couple of Images I stumbled upon and figured out, that if you flash the RETBR Rom, it get's recognized as RETEU and even uses the RETEU Softwarechannel for OTA's. Flashed it and was getting all the necessary Updates (3 or 4, I reckon) until the very last security update with no problems at all.

My phone says ID: N/A

Not. Available. What?
Coming from a Nexus 6, this is such a hassle. Now I understand why I got this phone for 249 euro brand new. :rolleyes:

Don't worry! Both, "N/A" and "bad key" are perfectly normal.
Unlocking the bootloader means it lifts the requirement for a valid signature done with a key that has motorola's blessing. However, you can now install your own set of keys and sign your kernel yourself: you can almost act as if you were motorola and tell what is allowed to run on your phone and what's not. If the signature fits, you'll see the yellow boot warning, if there is a signature mismatch, you'll get the orange one ("cannot be trusted"). In both cases you'd see an actual ID (the one that's associated with your key) and no "N/A" or "bad key" warnings (at least if everything is properly set-up).
N/A means that you haven't supplied a kernel signature verfication key yet, bad-key means that the stored key is corrupt (or the dataspace for the key contains implausible data)...
[Disclaimer: I haven't done that myself yet and I may also be wrong here. Please correct me if I am... !]

Thank you so much for the reply! I've been struggling with this whole thing since yesterday. After unlocking bootloader I flashed the TWRP right away, which is unwise of me, as I later learned scrambling through the article in the forum (turned out I had to let it reboot & wipe itself before flashing recovery). But since I had TWRP, I tried to wipe the whole thing, not successful: data, system & every storage possible couldn't be mounted. It wouldn't boot up anymore, just either the bootloader or TWRP. So I adb sideloaded LineageOS, GApps. It was fine as TWRP showed.

BUT after reboot, it doesn't boot straight to Lineage OS. It showed the bootloader again, made me choose "Start", only then it booted to Lineage.

Hi, after I installed RETBR I have now issues that some applications are really slow or feezing. For example Amazon or Vivino App need nearly 1 minute to start . I had this issue not with the original stock rom when I got the device. Has somebody an idea how to fix that or have a look in log files to analyze this ?

Thanks in advance

Thanks. I have been thinking about rooting and installing a custom ROM on my Moto Z, but i am little hesitant, because I want to have a way to restore and lock my phone in case anything goes wrong. If the RETBR ROM works and has the ability to relock my bootloader, I might try rooting my device

Hello, I buy Moto Z from second hand one month ago. This Moto work on Lineage OS, i want change it to stock android for this phone cause any roms drain battery so fast. i have few questions about it:
1. I read that the best option is the BR version but nowhere in this post can I find the BR version. Could someone send a link to this version?
2. I do not have an original Motorola cable. I read that one is needed to flash in Fastboot. is it true?
3. The logo when you start my phone is not the factory logo for this phone, how can I change it?

Thanks for any replies, regards.

i flashed back to stock and it is working on 6.0. How do I get it to receive the OTA to 7? It just tells me it is already up to date when I manually check.

Does it take a few days?

EDIT: i had installed the retbr firmware as recomended above which showed software channel correctly as retus but just doesn't get updates.

As soon as I booted after flashing the actual retus firmware, it prompted for the Nougat update. Problem resolved.
