limitations
- OTA updates (i.e. standard "nightly" updates) cannot be applied via network download but have to be downladed via adb/usb
- NetFlix app cannot be used in LineageOS
prepare
Using MacOS here
- download latest image from https://download.lineage.microg.org/payton/ (allows life without google)
- download latest android platform tools from google https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-darwin.zip
- install tools to $HOME/ (see https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide.html)
- download recovery image (TWRP) from https://dl.twrp.me/payton/ (download .img!)
- download LineageOS su add-on arm64 package (optional) from https://download.lineageos.org/extras
install
- follow instuctions on https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/payton/install
oem unlocking
for oem unlock of payton: use instructions on https://www.getdroidtips.com/unlock-bootloader-moto-x4/
- get unlock key from Motorola - output from "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" cannot be used directly to unlock phone
- make sure to use Chrome-Browser for getting the unlock key at Motorola!!! Otherwise the "get unlock code" button will not be visible.
macantha:~ tim$ fastboot oem unlock (bootloader) Check 'OEM unlocking' in Android Settings > Developer (bootloader) Options OKAY [ 0.001s] Finished. Total time: 0.001s macantha:~ tim$
- activate oem unlocking in android settings
- execute twice:
fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (20 digits)
- reboot
install via twrp recovery
- NOTE: Monthly security updates may break decryption of /data in TWRP. MTP does not work at this time, but you can use adb to transfer files.
- make sure to install the .img (not the .zip) file of the TWRP recovery image:
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-payton.img
- wipe
- format data partition to remove encryption
- wipe advanced - system partition
- copy image to sdcard:
adb push lineage-15.1-20181030-nightly-payton-signed.zip /sdcard/
- install image in twrp (select above image)
- Once installation has finished, return to the main menu, tap Reboot, and then System.
- ignore any messages "no os installed"
- IMPORTANT: for this phone do not install any Updates via WiFi as this will hard brick your Moto X4!
- In case you did not read the above - read on in the next section ;-)
restore in case of hard brick
- all attemps so far using twrp have led to hard bricked phone
- symptoms: blank screen, no led, pressing of power button does not seem to do anything (even long pressing of >20 secs)
make fastboot mode work again
all of this needs to be done via Windows PC. (in my case Win10), disabled anti-virus SW
- docs (tried a lot - only this one worked): https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/help/hard-bricked-how-enter-emergency-t3757472
- not quite sure if this step is essential:
- remove all qualcom drivers from windows
- install old drivers from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3261089&stc=1&d=1428980071
- downloaded blank flash tool here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wfNOTMquSJFcCjCtaxf1lrSPVABm9XTS/view
- unpack blank flash
- start cmd and connect bricked phone to usb
- execute "blank-flash.bat"
- if this hangs in step "[ 0.001] Detecting device":
- long-press the power button until blank flash tool disconnects and then start blank flash again
C:\Users\User\Downloads\blankflash>blank-flash.bat C:\Users\User\Downloads\blankflash>.\qboot.exe blank-flash Motorola qboot utility version 3.86 [ -0.000] Opening device: \\.\COM3 [ 0.001] Detecting device [ 0.004] ...cpu.id = 172 (0xac) ... [ 4.453] Rebooting to fastboot [ 4.458] Total time: 4.459s C:\Users\User\Downloads\blankflash>pause Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . . C:\Users\User\Downloads\blankflash>
- will come up in fastboot mode.
wipe device
- use twrp as shown above to wipe and format partions then switch to fastboot mode again
re-installing stock oreo image
- doing this on macos 10.13, but should very similarly work on other OSes
- docs: https://www.stechguide.com/stock-firmware-of-moto-x4/
- download stock image XT1900-1_PAYTON_RETAIL_8.0.0_OPW27.57-40_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip from https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329071182 and unpack it, cd to dir
- attempts with standard fastboot fail from step "flash moem NON-FLOS.bin, therefore download osx-fastboot for motorola devices from https://app.box.com/s/f4ia6l8agg53ut4xfuqm
- prepare osx-fastboot for execution:
chmod 755 osx-fastboot mv osx-fastboot /Users/tim/bin
- enter fastboot mode on moto x4 and execute the following commands on your mac
osx-fastboot flash partition gpt.bin osx-fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img osx-fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin osx-fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn osx-fastboot erase modemst1 osx-fastboot erase modemst2 osx-fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin osx-fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin osx-fastboot flash logo logo.bin osx-fastboot flash boot boot.img osx-fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0 osx-fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1 osx-fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2 osx-fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3 osx-fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4 osx-fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5 osx-fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6 osx-fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7 osx-fastboot flash system_b system_other.img osx-fastboot flash oem oem.img osx-fastboot erase carrier osx-fastboot erase userdata osx-fastboot erase ddr osx-fastboot reboot
possible next steps
- continue migration to LineageOS: https://howto.cactus.de/index.php/LineageOS_on_Moto_X4_(payton)#install_via_twrp_recovery
- or leave it at that
