You have to flash another boot.img. It should work from Magisk. Just install Magisk in the way you would like to have root.

Hello. I am hoping this is the correct place to ask this? Please bear with me as this is going to be a lengthy post.

I tried to unlock the bootloader on my Motorola G5S but it didn't work. I still get this error message when I turn on the phone:

Your device has failed verification and may not work properly.

To learn more, visit:
motorola.com/unlockbootloader

ID: N/A

Your device will boot in 5 seconds.

Note it doesn't boot in 5 seconds. It doesn't boot at all.

I tried the steps at the address given:

DEVICE ID AND UNLOCK KEY​

Now that you understand the risks associated with unlocking the bootloader, let’s get started!

First, we’ll need to get your device ready to get the device ID and unlock key. You’ll need to do a few things to get this.

1. Install the Android SDK. You can download it here.
2. Install the latest Motorola USB Drivers. Get them here.

Next, you will need to get your device ID.

TO GET YOUR DEVICE ID​

1. Put your device in fastboot mode (press the power button and volume down button at the same time and connect your device to your computer with a USB cable).
2. On your computer, open a command prompt or Terminal session.
3. Go to the Directory where you installed the Android SDK tools, and type:$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
4. This fastboot command will return a character string. This is the Device ID which you will be using to generate your unique unlock key.
   
   Example Device ID (PC User)$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
   (bootloader) 0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
   (bootloader) 30373731363031303332323239#BD00
   (bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95
   (bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
   (bootloader) 0000000
   Example Device ID (Mac Users)INFO0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
   INFO30373731363031303332323239#BD00
   INFO8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95
   INFO1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
   INFO0000000
5. To generate your unlock code, you’ll need to paste together the 5 lines of output into one continuous string without "bootloader or info" or white spaces. Using the example above, the line you’d send us would be:
6. 0A40040192024205#4C4D355631323030373731363031303332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000
7. Copy the Device ID string, being sure there are no spaces, and paste it into the "Make Sure you Device Is Unlockable" field below. This will verify that your device can be unlocked.

MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE IS UNLOCKABLE​

Paste the Device ID string into the field below to verify that your device is unlockable:

I got the email with the unique code to unlock the bootloader of your Motorola phone.

I had to use a slightly different command (.\fastboot). Here is the output of unlocking the bootloader:

For some reason typing just fastboot throws up an error. Not sure why. But when I add .\ in front of it, it works.

I cannot check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Android Settings > Developer as the phone won't boot. But I'm pretty sure (99%) that I had that turned on the last time I used the phone. (Its been sitting in a drawer for several years).

This is what it displays once I pasted my Device ID string

You should have received an email with your Unlock Key. If you did not, check you spam folder. Inside the email is a UNIQUE_KEY, a 20-character alphanumeric code that you will use to unlock your device.

Unlock your device​

1. Turn off your device.
2. Start your device in fastboot mode. To do this on most Motorola devices, push and hold the power and volume down at the same time, release the power button then release volume down. The device will power up in fastboot mode
3. Connect the device to the computer with a USB cable. You'll get a confirmation message on the device will indicate that it's connected.
4. Open a command window or terminal on your computer.
5. Change field to show the path to the tools folder within the Android SDK folder.
6. Verify that the desktop and device are connected by entering the following in the command field:$ fastboot devicesYou should see that your device is connected.
7. Now you will unlock the bootloader. Simply enter the following in the command line:$ fastboot oem unlock UNIQUE_KEYThe UNIQUE_KEY is the code you received in the email. It is case-sensitive.
8. If the line was entered correctly, your device's screen will confirm that your device is unlocked. You have just unlocked your device's bootloader.
9. After a device is successfully unlocked, it will reboot and when it starts again you will see the screen below.

It didn't confirm that my device is unlocked. And this screen didn't appear. And it didn't reboot. So should I run the command again? Will that brick the phone?

So now I am thinking I should install a custom ROM to override the default OS provided by Motorola.

Is there any chance of recovering this phone?

Note it doesn't show up in Windows Explorer at all. Well not completely. It shows up as J: drive but I cannot access it. I think due to it being OEM locked?

One more thing. I have installed adb fastboot on my PC from the instructions here:

Using ADB and fastboot | LineageOS Wiki

wiki.lineageos.org

I checked the logs on the phone and I think it completed the unlock successfully? I'm not certain though.

 

[ZenurikSD]

Don't mean to sound pushy or arrogant but are we still going to see changes for this? I see the system notifying about new updates but there's no changelog anywhere AFAIK.

I'm asking because I'm having severe battery drain issues with this ROM and I want to know if this is still being supported.

 

[Korin67]

I also noticed the same issue. What I am testing is adjust:
Battery -> Battery saver and performance -> Performance profile: Efficiency. In default the selections is in the middle. I am testing one level lower. It says power saving at the cost of higher latency.
Yes, if the battery drain would be reduced this ROM is perfect.

Yeah, the performance profiles made basically no difference here. If I it leave it on at ~30% over the night, sometimes I wake up with it turned off completely drained.
Reboots also take out huge chunks of battery (only visually apparently), and I'm afraid it's decalibrating and draining battery cycles / reducing the lifespan. It's really bad.

 

[Korin67]

I suspect that the ROM does not go into deep sleep when idling. Waiting for the OP's comment.

Edit: So far, to avoid battery drain issue, the only way is to downgrade to LOS15.1 (I have not tried LOS16.0 yet). LOS15.1 works perfect, battery lasts more than three days for light users like me.

 

[LucasBonald]

Hello everyone! I installed the Rom yesterday in my montana, but I've been facing problems in my calls. I can't hear anyone and they can't hear me. Is the only issue that I observed. Is anyone could help me with this? Thank you very much!

 

[LiNEAGEOSANDROiDEVOLUTiON]

I unlocked bootloader, flashed recovery

lineage-18.1-20221003-recovery-montana

flashed with recovery adb the

flashed the lineage-18.1-20221003-nightly-montana with result "Total xfer: 1.00x"

with result “Total xfer: 1.00x”

After reboot, the lineage boot animation dots are moving to the left side in endless loop.

Repeated the steps multiple times without any luck.

Is anyone could help me with this? Thank you very much! What's missing?

 

[LiNEAGEOSANDROiDEVOLUTiON]

howto boot lineage-18.1-nightly-montana?

 

[JarlPenguin]

howto boot lineage-18.1-nightly-montana?

Did you format data before booting?

 

[mri0]

Hello everyone! I might give this ROM a try. On my Moto G5 lineageos-18 also by @JarlPenguin works like a charme. Before install I would like to know if everyone is having the battery drain issue with the current version or only a few people? Thank you.

Edit: 2nd question: Is anyone running the other kernel? What are the experiences with it?

No battery drain issue, however, be aware that this phone runs A11 very poorly. It can get very slow at times. Honestly the g5s shouldn't be upgraded past A10 as that is the last android version that it can run at an acceptable speed. Unless you really want as recent of a version as possible I suggest sticking with A10.

 

[LiNEAGEOSANDROiDEVOLUTiON]

is there a updated working version of this rom?

 

[LiNEAGEOSANDROiDEVOLUTiON]

Yes, i boot up into recovery mode previously flash ROM and selected wipe data and cache partition. I format system. my found is useless since flashing this lineageos rom unfortunately still

Did you format data before booting?

 

[rillrill]

Installed lineage-18.1-20230101-nightly-montana-signed a couple weeks ago.
Performance is not that great but okay for me. Wi-Fi connection drops once in while and i have to reconnect manually. Overall i still think its 100x better than on stock.

Thank you for your work, JarlPenguin! Can't wait for the next nightly!
