What always worked for me is to go fully back to stock ROM using the Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant (LMSA) tool and start all over.
You sit.h ing I can do withhould at least be able to download the stock ROM ("resue"). If flashing with the tools doesn't work, do it manually
The LMSA doesn't recognize my phone when it's plugged in.
And any attempts at flashing/ booting into recovery have proven fruitless.
I'm considering my device bricked since there's nothing I can do with it.

I was at that point, too.
The intention of my post was to say that you should only download the latest stock ROM with that tool. For actual flashing, use fastboot from "platform tools" with the commands decribed in my post

Was is your phone showing when you turn it on?

It boots straight to bootloader. Flashing using platform tools nets no result either.

Okay but with the motorola smart assistant I cannot download the latest stock. It keeps on telling me it cannot recognize my device and that's it. No option to only download the latest stock ROM anywhere.
So I've searched the internet and the latest I could find was 9.0_PPWS-29.98-111-5. I successfully flashed it with the .bat file but that didn't solve my issue. I then tried to flash it using the code you shared but I had to change a few lines:
I had to delete this one: fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
I had to change this one: fastboot flash system_b system_other.img
to: fastboot flash system_b system_b.img_sparsechunk.0
and then add: fastboot flash system_b system_b.img_sparsechunk.1
Flashing this way worked also but still didn't solve my original issue, that Wi-fi and network functionalities disappeared.


I am wondering if not finding an Android 10 version could be the problem? My device was upgraded to Android 10 before I first unlocked it and flashed anything.

First of all Thanks to @Jleeblanch: I am not happily updating OTA.

But now I got a strange issue concerning "Android WebView" that makes the Jelly Browser crash (or not)...

Once I installed lineage from flash and the browser did it's job like a charm. I installed and uninstalled Googles WebView for a testing purpose. This was SLOT A.
Then I did OTA to SLOT B. Here I noticed that there was no WebView at all installed. I thought okay... Maybe I deleted it with uninstalling the Google One... This was SLOT B.
No after another OTA to SLOT A there is WebView again...

I always checked for WebView in the Developer Settings...

How do I get Android Stock WebView back in SLOT B???

The one from PlayStore simplay causes issues and Jelly won't work....

Hi is Slot A and Slot B identical LOS nightly version? Maybe only the newer nightlies lack a WebView?

They all were different. 20200415 has WebView. 20200414 did not. Let's wait for the next.
somehow it seems like one of your system_slots has webview and one not. Because my 20200415 "fresh" installation does not have it. You probably dirty flashed it or had it OTA-updated?

Sounds resonable, although I did not flash anything dirty on purpose: The installations instructions more or less tell you so. They say that you install the custom recovery and then copy over the partitions... I did a factory reset of course, but after the copy. This leave the "inactive slot" dirty and ready to be mixed with a Lineage OTA.

As I remember: Both slots should contain the webview.apk which puzzles me a bit.

Anyway the issue needs to be talked somehow. I wonder how to get the correct WebView into both slots (hopefully without flaishing). I did not have any success with using the WebView from the PlayStore...

i did not have success with the one from play store either - i actually don't want to use it anyway.
i can see (adb shell) that there is the webview.apk in /system/product/app/webview but in the UI I cannot choose it under developer options.

Same for me. In all slots there is one, but only in one I can choose - and this one works. The Google one does not even work well: It breaks the Jelly Browser, whereas the LOS one works on both...

sorry if i bother you, but do you see the webview folder also under /system/app (without product)?

The changelogs for 20200414 state that there should be now an option in the "Developer Options" where I should be able to disable the "Update for Recovery" (see HERE). But I do not find such option in "Settings" -> "Developer Options".

Is it possible that something went wrong? How can I find that option?

I am right now on 20200415.

I still have troubles with dual sim - only the first slot is accepted. Both slots work fine on stock ROM.
Anybody can confirm? Or am I missing something?
(start with stock, boot twrp, sideload LOS, reboot system)
