A preview of some changes to come

just got a tmo z2 force,im pretty sure i understand this process, but just to be clear:

after unlocking my bootloader and flashing this flashall from your post i will have "two oreo bootloaders" (mentioned in "process B" on this guide: https://xdaforums.com/z2-force/how-to/guides-bootloader-twrp-custom-roms-root-t3805737)
and after flashing TWRP installer i am now relatively safe for trying out custom roms?

or do i need to do something to slot B?

also, can slot B be used for a second rom?

27.1.7 flashall went smooth, thank you!! However, after I installed TWRP my phone will now only boot into recovery or bootloader, no more system. My internal files are still present in TWRP so it didn't wipe my data, but I am stumped how to get my phone to work again?? I tried pushing the 27.1.7 flashall again from bootloader mode in ADB but it wouldn't go. Any suggestions before a full wipe? TY!!!

****UPDATE****
Got it to finally push after the seventh try. Not sure what was different? Thank you!!

You'll have two different OSes basically including different recovery environments. The bootloader will remain the same. You do not need to do anything with the other slot. If you are installing LineageOS it will use that other slot for fast updates.

Sounds like TWRP was booting to the wrong slot for some reason. Were you using just the 27.1.7 flashall or were you using the updated files?

I was using the updated files. I just realized I flashed TWRP "after" I had already flashed Magisk so maybe that was why it took over the boot image in Slot A? I tried booting Slot B and it would just boot-loop. All is good now. Cheers!

I have the ATT variant of the Mot Z2 Force but I am using this on T Mobile. Would this work for my phone?

Nevermind but bootloader is not able to be unlocked which is a pre-requisite. Bummer. I am going to be listing this for sale. Since it dropped from the Upgrade list and 5G capable list just recently I don't see any reason to keep it. Thanks for the info. I got my hopes up for a brief moment there

A few Bugs...

Since the last Flashall I keep getting the following error messages: com.motorola.ccc has stopped, messages has stopped, and OMA client provisioning has stopped working.

I ignored it for a few weeks but I have been missing some text messages here and there as a result so I need to get it fixed. I already tried reflashing but it still does it. However, it never did it before this update. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Sorry for this being a dumb question -- but is 8.0.0 the last, official version of android for our z2 force?

Do you know what version you were on before the Flash? 27.1.3? 27.1.4? I'd recommend backing up any data and using flashall_then_erase.bat

Fixed my problem, I lost cellular connection, imei was showing as 0

First and foremost, you are awesome! I made a series of bad decisions that ended with Lineage 16 installed and working but the phone cellular data unusable. I really should have known better, and I did know better, but chose to try installing an Android 10 rom from a source that raised red flags with me and in short that is what got me in the predicament.
I tried reverting back to stock on my own but still couldn't get through to fix the cellular problem until downloading your fix and replacing the 3 .bat files with your updated ones. Worked perfectly on the first try. Again, you are awesome, I was almost going to run out and buy a new phone this morning.

You do +not+ need to bootloader unlock to flash this. He just means you must be bootloader unlocked to flash the TWRP image etc in the zip. The zip has all the official components for the official update. This is the only official I could find. I merely substituted an official flashall to this zip and flashed all the official parts. Prior to this I was bricked with a locked bootloader and no other flash would revive it. This worked like a charm. I can confirm, however, that after flashing lineage I have no working wifi or data. Anyone figure out a solution to this? Yes, was definitely in the disclaimer : D

Just figured out a solution to the no wifi no cellular issue. Issue the following fastboot flash commands in this rom zip AFTER you have flashed lineage.

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2

This will essentially write the new modem over lineage. Your rom will maintain and you will have wifi and cellular. (-:

I did this but the only thing is that I have to reboot my phone in order to get my data to work. Anyone else have this problem?

Can you explain further what your problem is? Your wifi isn't working but your data is? I'm confused. Thanks!

Wifi works without any issues always. When I turn off wifi and use my data it only works after a reboot.

Same. My wifi doesn't work but everything else does. MAC address for wifi is 020000000000

Finally got it to work. I had to do a stock recovery format before running it and then it worked with the updated flashall.

Thanks!
