Hi, I tried to install it on OPP28.85-19-4-2 but the installation failed (infinite loop at start-up). According to this https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/cedric/install the latest Android 8.1 firmware is required. Which one is it ? Thanks !

Any oero firmware will do as your base
Flash via fastboot - if you don't know which to choose use the latest retail version

How to flash rom

Go to twrp
Select wipe
Format data - option on the right (will format everything on phone including personal files so backup first!)
Restart to twrp
Wipe then advanced wipe
Wipe system data and cache
Select install from main menu
Install rom zip
Install gapps (you want arm64 android 10 nano)
Install magisk (optional for root access & to hide apps from detecting root/custom rom)
Wipe delvik cache
Restart
Encrypt phone again if required once booted from phone settings menu

Thanks, I did as you explained, but I am still stuck with a lineageos logo looping for a few dozens of minuts before the phone restarts and goes straight to TWRP.

Wipe system data cache and flash rom without gapps or magisk

Does it boot?

If yes wipe everything again and flash rom zip but flash gapps as well this time. And if it boots flash magisk (no need to wipe to flash magisk)

If magisk causes it to boot loop flash an older version

If none of the above works and you have the same issue trying to flash another rom eg lineage mint then its user error somewhere or an issue unrelated to the rom zip

Hi,
i updated my G5 to the official LOS. Although VoWifi and VoLTE are enabled in settings, none of them are working (They didn't work on the unofficial version either).
According to my network operator, these functions are activated.
Unter Phone Info (*#*#4636#*#* in dialer's app) it says "IMS Registration: Not Registered"

Is there anything I can do about this?

Thanks!

I tried without gapps and magisk, it does not boot, same with Mint.
So if I understand well, the problem is probably on my side

What I did :

• New firmware using fastboot following these commands.
• At this stage, TWRP had disappear (!), I reinstalled it using fastboot. Is it normal ?
• Then I installed lineageos.

I have the same problem. I can't get Lineage or Mint to boot on my Cedric.

I've tried TWRP 3.4 , and 3.5 and neither made a difference. I have been through the instructions on the lineage site many times, and I'm sure I'm not missing a step

But every time the device sticks at lineage boot logo for a long time, before returning to fastboot mode.

If I re-flash 8.1 using fastboot, the phone works again, then go from the top with twrp and lineage, and we're back to logo and eventually fastboot again.

So, although I cannot help yet, you are not alone.

Edit:

My cedric is the 3GB RAM XT1676 model which I think might be somewhat rare version?

Thanks ! By chance, do you know any unofficial rom (not necessarely 17.1) correctly booting on 8.1 ?

I have only tried mint and official 17.1. Get the same problem with both sadly.

I just realised, on the installation instructions it says to flash the recovery from the lineage download page, not twrp

So I tried:

motog5> fastboot flash recovery lineage-17.1-20210225-recovery-cedric.img
target reported max download size of 535822336 bytes
Sending 'recovery' (18390 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.586s]
Writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Image size exeeded partition limits
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)

The cedric recovery image on the download page is about 2MB larger than the TWRP recovery.

So should I be using the lineage provided recovery to flash this?

edit:

I managed to get the cedric to boot the lineage supplied recovery by doing:

motog5> fastboot boot lineage-17.1-20210225-recovery-cedric.img

I then used that recovery (looks good by the way, smart looking recovery), but after flashing the matching lineage-17.1 image ( adb sideload lineage-17.1-20210225-nightly-cedric-signed.zip) , I still get the long running boot animation, and dumped back into bootloader after a while.

I think I should stop now, I'm getting tired

For your info everyone: the OP is not the developer. I am neither. I just patch the official builds and that is Mint.

If you could give me logs, I'll check.

My problem was that I was starting from the GB release of Cedric stock 8.1 as I'm in the UK. If I flashed the GB version, then no Lineage ROM would boot. Not this, and not the Mint one.

If you check out the Mint thread, what I did was use Fastboot to flash an international version of stock 8.1, then I could add TWRP and flash this successfully.

I ended up testing Lineage With microG, but actually successfully flashed this, and Mint as well.

So I'd say to anyone struggling to get a working flash of this ROM, try a different CEDRIC set of fastboot files.

 

[Lighto97]

as im aware, you need to flash from stock 8.1 but sometimes if youre on pie you gotta flash nougat and then oreo to flash custom roms i tried flashing that rom before but got no succes with bootlop but i didnt knew this i have tried unnoficial los 17 but never though about trying again the one from los page, guess its Worth a try

 

[Lighto97]

update: i got to flash and boot but the system reboots randomly, mostly when i open apps

also twitter doesnt login into my account for a weird reason dunno why. guess ill loke other roms around

You need to been on oreo firmware to flash this rom - preferably the latest retail version

You also need gapps that are arm64 android 10 nano

See my instructions above for how to flash rom correctly (post #3)

Without any logs the devs will put it down to user error

oh damm i always forgot i have to send the log for them to track the issue, i already uninstaled anyway.

i did followed the steps the right way (thank you), right now im flashing stock nougat to try out LOS 14.1 (which i love and seems to be reeealy stable)

 

[tfbb]

thank you very much to all involved for this … this gives a new lease of life to the moto g5. i tried both the official version and a microg4lineageos build - both work flawlessly afaict.

a few observations:

• camera works, both photos and videos. the new camera app is quite usable.
• coming from a build derived from codezeros 16.0-tree, i had to revert to the stock firmware to be able to install this. not doing so resulted in boot loops, wiping everything did not help
• the los recovery cannot be flashed, it seems to be too big for the recovery partition. twrp works fine.

i know how to boot with that LOS recovery, instead of flash comand you use boot command so the device will bot into recovery suing the image.
