Incase you haven't seen this forum yet, if you skip down to posts made in december 2016 onwards, there are plenty of people asking similar questions, seems anyone having bought a G5 from Optus actually has the H850 (non-k) variant.Ĭurrently downloading nougat for the H850K If anyone checks this with a different model letter I'd be curious if AIDA64 or another system information tool recognizes the letter variant, as AIDA64 only mentions H850. So far as i can tell the branding is the only difference? My question is can we just flash the european H850 kdz over the H850K? as they both have identical hardware specs.

Yet I'm sitting here waiting for the update that LG no doubt worked tirelessly to push.

But I can confirm I'm in the same boat, same '505' software version, bought it outright and unlocked from telstra. I'm a little confused with the software version as mine displays 505 rather than a region code. So i figured I'd ask here if there is anything that can be done to it (Custom Recovery, kdz flashing, etc).

I understand this phone specifically requires me to install a custom kernel prior to the root, otherwise it gets stuck in a bootloop.Are there any options for the H850K A week into January and there is no information from Telstra about anything to do with its G5. I'm not sure what fastboot is though, could you explain briefly?Īlso, about point No 6. I believe my phone works in ADB, I've done a few things with it already (tasker related things). 5: I see that installing TWRP doesn't delete my data or the OS (unless I do it so), but then again, unlocking the bootloader prior to installing TWRP will delete all of my data, is that so? Sorry if I'm repeating myself, I try to understand it perfectly, because I don't want to screw it up. (I've read it breaks Snapchat too, I don't have a SC account).Ībout point No. Do you know which apps specifically can't be used? Because the one I read most is Google Pay, and I don't use it, so installing Xposed shouldn't be a problem for me, unless it also breaks things like Google Maps or anything more important. 3: I understand safetynet is only used by Google apps (but there are other apps that also check if you're rooted or not). Although I'm not sure about your 2nd statement.ĭoesn't unlocking the bootloader already deletes all of your data? So doing a nandroid backup on TWRP is only basically to avoid potential bootloops/bricks? I won't be able to save all of my data / settings since it was already deleted when I unlocked the bootloader.Ībout point No. If you keep the stock ROM, can you update your device through OTA afterwards? In case Lenovo decides to finally update to 8.1 some time.Īny helpful tips for a newbie are highly appreciated, I haven't found much info for the G4+ on XDA. I have this doubt because the only phone I rooted/flashed before was an old LG G3, and I followed a guide, so I didn't really know exactly what I was doing, and the guide included rooting and installing CM on it. I want to keep the stock ROM like I said, so I wanna make sure it doesn't get deleted (and if it does, make sure to get the rom in order to flash it afterwards). This is probably the dumbest question, but when you install TWRP, does your ROM get deleted at some point when you also install Magisk/SuperSU?. I've read somewhere that the only (and best) way to do this is through ADB, how legit is this method? Does it really work?

Now, I want to do a backup if this is going to happen.

#Firmware moto g4 plus xt1644 how to#

I found a guide (the newest I could find) on how to achieve this process, the first step of course is to unlock your bootloader, which says it deletes all of your data. I'm not a tech savvy so, I have a few (possibly dumb) questions: I've been planning on rooting my Moto G4 Plus (XT1644) and install (flash?) Xposed on it, since I've read it really does wonders while keeping stock ROM, plus I've been wanting to use a few things that require root (some tasker profiles, theme related apps and such). This is my first time posting here, I hope you can help me with this.
