Motorola G Power (2022) (TONGA)

[T_Tank]

Ended up flashing back to stock due to tmo USA being unstable sometimes it get stuck on edge or no signal, messed with the Sim tray to see if it was a hardware issue but it works completely normal on stock

I'm seeing references to cherish, Octivi-OS, corvus, etc. Where are you guys finding this firmware for Tonga?

And what is "GSI"?

For porting Twrp, dumps.tadiphone.dev/dumps/motorola/tonga/-/tree/tonga_g-user-11-RRQ31.Q3-68-16-2-e5877-release-keys/twrp-device-tree

Also to force 90hz at all times, Setedit app...
Add these under system table
min_refresh_rate 90.0
peak_refresh_rate 90.0

 

[Quantumstate]

Well I have no idea where to go for alt distros.

Android 12 update is rolling out now... As of 2 days ago

 

[Yeedatoy]

Flashed a12 Retail over boost. Downloaded G22 system apps and changed the stupid stock CPU sets.

 

[mr_reaper]

Boost got the a12 update?

I haven't yet, I'm about to get a OnePlus 9 pro

Anyone installed 13 gsi? (instructions are welcome for us newbies)

 

[grumbleson]

So I got the tonga about a week ago, bootloader unlocked rooted with magisk and firmware flashed all successful without a hiccup.

But every time I go to flash the pixel 12 or an alternate GSI of the same criteria everything works up until when it's flashing the system it fails that trunk four of 12, and when I try and flash a different GSI it too freezes at chunk four of 11. This is my daily driver so after messing up I always got to reflash the new firmware and start from scratch. Does anybody have any clue what it might be? Could it possibly be the drivers on my windows 11 laptop? That's the only thing I can think of unless I'm missing something.

I installed the GSI according to the directions up top. And ain't no help will be greatly appreciated thank you.

I thought I posted about this earlier so if it's a double post if I notice it all fall back and delete it.

I'm having the exact same problem you were. Everything works until I'm flashing the GSI and it fails at chunk four of 12. I tried to flash a different GSI and it failed at chunk four of 11.

Do you happen to remember how you solved it?

Flashing the gsi fails or flashing stock firmware? Doesn't the gsi just flash a system img? There shouldn't be any sparse Img chunks I thought? Are you in fastboot or fastbootD? Fastboot can flash everything except for the img chunks, you have to be in fastbootD to flash them. Only other thing in can think of is the Gsi is too large for the partition

Kernel Update!!

TMO and Boost Mobile has an update for December 2021

I extracted the boot.img from the newest firmware and noticed a November security patch and performance boost.

Out of the box this phone was laggy and felt like a 100 dollar phone. Now with Android 12, an updated kernel and keeping refresh rate at 90mhz. This phone feels just as fast as the stylus 5G 480 soc. This mediatek Helio G37 is not that bad once it's overclocked ..
I set governor to "performance'
CPU min Big clusters 2.3ghz
Little clusters 1.8ghz
I can't find a way to overclock the GPU yet.
GPU high frequency is 650mhz. Similar to stylus 5 g..View attachment 5529585
Running smooth with Great battery life..

Dang, I didn't even think about a custom kernel for the tonga, too. Thanks for that idea!

I just got a Moto Power G (2022) from Google Fi. I was able to unlock the bootloader and root the system with Magisk.

I am trying to do this without a pc. I can't find twrp img. Any suggestions

No, there is no twrp. Just use magisk Delta with boot loop protection built in. If you flash a bad module, boot the phone into safe mode and then reboot it and all your modules will be automatically turned off so you can remove the bad module

Been away for a while. Think I'll start tinkering again. Got this phone on boost

Good to see you on the forums again @madbat99. Question for you...you may have knowledge of this. I was going to write up a full rooting guide for the Tonga, but I don't want to duplicate somebody else's work. I searched and was unable to find a rooting thread for Tonga here on XDA. By chance, have you ran across any such threads? Thanks
