Aosip for Motorola Z2 Force
What is this?
AOSiP is a quality custom ROM based purely on GOOGLE AOSP source since 6.0 release. Twisted with the latest features and blended with stability. We strive for perfection and it shows.
Obligatory Warning: This guide and ROM assumes you know the fundamentals of fastboot, flashing TWRP, and running a flash all. Your warranty is voided because of the unlocked bootloader. This is a Third Party ROM. Things may not work as expected compared to stock (for better or for worse).
Warning 2: If you can't do fastboot commands, do a flash all, root your device or flash TWRP/ROM, please do not ask for help here. If you cannot flash all back to stock, please stay stock for everyone's sake.
Warning 3: if you don't flash the firmware so you are on Oreo on both slots, when you boot after flashing, you'll be on Nougat firmware and have a brick. Try a flash all as that's your only hope on recovering your phone.
How to install
1. Download the latest ROM from here.
2. Prepare your phone for AOSP style ROMs. (download one of the firmwares depending on your model)
Flash the firmware with the .bat file. (See links below or on Post #2)
3. Boot to TWRP
4. Flash TWRP to boot image (with the zip from their website.) Reboot to Newly flashed recovery.
5. Erase oem, data, and system
6. Flash rom like you would any aosp rom, in twrp.
7. Reboot to bootloader
8. run the command "fastboot -w" (this will erase EVERYTHING from your phone, even internal SD, but is needed to have these ROMs work)
9. reboot.

Known issues
1. WiFi Calling hit and miss
2. Cannot flash Gapps (included temporarily)
3. some Audio recording apps will not have audio recording work (phone functions fine)
4. if you don't fastboot -w, you will not boot.
5. if you don't flash the firmware your bootloader might relock itself and be stuck on Nougat.
6. SElinux is passive (meaning CTS check will always fail until further notice.)

Bug reports:
If you don't flash the firmware and your other slot is nougat, after flashing the ROM, you'll brick. (Custom ROM with a locked nougat slot.) Your only hope is attempting an official flash all and try again after flashing the firmware zip in the posts above.
Fair warning and off-topic: I am okay with some off topic questions. If you have a question, please use the search function. If I have addressed the question before, I will not answer and advise to find it in the thread. I will report the post for a mod to delete along with my response to keep the thread tidy. It seems some users think this ROM has international support. It doesn't and won't unless someone with another variant or an unlocked T-Mobile/Sprint model tests, confirms and debugs for that international carrier. Please keep in mind of what I said below regarding this. I posted this on page 20 or so and copying here for better visibility.
Your SIM is locked. You are trying to run a phone off it's intended network. Please don't post those problems here. It isn't ROM related. Like the thread states. It works for T-Mobile and Sprint only on their respective models on their locked networks. Any other tom foolery isn't supported and must be kept out of the thread. After this it will be considered off topic.
Edit: if you have Sprint or T-Mobile service and run into issues with using your (albeit, expensive) international roaming plan, I will assist with that if it works on stock but not AOSP. If you don't have a sprint or T-Mobile sim, I cannot help. Almost all devs on this device won't be able to help. "Almost" all of us are on US carriers.

@Uzephi is your device on sprint? Data works but LTE does not? Does the Moto Mods support Hot Swapping? This is great progress and can't wait to see more on this phone.

Motomods work with kernel in ROM (hot swapping should as well iirc, I don't use the mods that often where my projector is outdated) LTE doesn't work on Sprint, but 3G and 1xTT works fine.
@Uzephi if we were to flash your kernel, we would lose motomods support?

For now, yes. Still trying to get it work. Clang is being a PITA on my build box, having to go to Linaro which can't build the Motorola Greybus driver correctly.
Thanks sir, I appreciate what you've done for the community, finally can go back to my moto from a GS8+
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but...
Ive never had to install different firmware before on a ROM. If I install this, will it change the process of installing a different ROM in the future?
Thank you.
Sprint varient if it matters by the way.
Edit: I'm sorry for this but is there a way to do this without the .bat file? currently working on OSX

Open the bat file in a text editor and run each of those commands one by one.
This I'd a dual boot device. Your other slot has the older Nougat bootloader. That firmware flashed the current Oreo firmware to both slots. If you don't do that, and you flash one of these ROMs, you'll reboot to your nougat slot, locked and pretty much screwed without a flash all and luck of being able to flash OEM images in oem mode.
Edit: you won't need to flash this any consecutive times until there is another big firmware update like nougat to Oreo was.

Thank you for the quick reply. I've installed the firmware, but now when I boot to TWRP and try to install the ROM, it instantly fails with ERROR:1. Tried redownloading with a different browser but got the same result. I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Flash twrp zip to your phone, reboot to your phone's newly flashed twrp recovery and flash the rom. If I remember right,you need to wipe oem and system before flashing the ROM as well. I'll add that shortly.
Up and running! Thank you!! Still looking around but I do see a built in updater. Will this function 100%? By that I mean, when the Sprint LTE issue is resolved and whatever else is coming will be handled by the updater?
Thanks again very excited to play around.

Working fine for me thru Evie Launcher. Soundboost mod is broken though. My SoundBoost is recognized and the notification says the mod is attached, but the volume steps are reduced to on/off and no sound comes out.
Edited to reflect that only the sound boost mod isn't working AFAIK.

Oh, @npjohnson and @invisiblek don't have the sound mod, so they can't get it to work. All of us in the development discord are trying to mail one out, they can't guarantee when it would get fixed.
Edit: added disclaimer to OP. We can only guarantee what we have works. Like when I do my kernel, the only mod I have is the free projector, so that's the only mod I can guarantee works when I do get it working.
I have an extra soundboost I could mail to someone.
So here's the deal, I had lost my LTE awhile back with something and saw the opportunity to fix it by taking the 8.1 soak OTA. Works wonderfully. But I do want to possibly go back a custom ROM, and have tried a few already that all work fine, except the lack of the fingerprint scanner working properly. This isn't really a big deal for now, but I'm starting a convo just to brainstorm.
Any ideas as to what's causing this, or possible solutions?
You may have to wait till the official hits the streets and the devs here tear it apart to bring that sensor up to date with the Bootloader I'm guessing. But hell, if you don't mind it. Dig in playa.

Using custom roms, all of which I tested, all worked using the xposed framework material, and using the magisk module corresponding to the version of android used (8.0 - 8.1)
As for stock rom 8.1, I do not know compatible kernel, for version 7.1, there is custom kernel available, and you should proceed xposed in the same way.

1>Take EFS backup from oreo soak test {with 4G and VOLTE working}
2>Flash Stock NPSS26.116-61-8 in full
3>Install TWRP and custom ROM
4>Restore EFS from oreo backup
This is working perfectly for me; fingerprint (incl gestures), VOLTE both work; I'm using AOSP Extended ROM

Perfect! I do have a question, how can I move my twrp backup to my desktop or so, and move it back to the phone after the firmware flash so I can restore my efs?
I tried something like that before and my backup was corrupted or unrecognizable.

Hmm, flashing the April 2018 7.1.1 firmware should give a security version downgrade if you've downgraded to Nougat from Oreo (though like yourself, I await some confirmation).
If you do see that error, I would advise against flashing or installing the June 2018 7.1.1 security update OTA, I do not know if flashing the 7.1.1 June 2018 OTA onto a device previously updated with the Oreo soak test would result in a hard brick (as the June 2018 OTA may or may not corrupt the Oreo bootloader). Be careful.
So if I were to attempt to flash it via fastboot, it would give me an error and ask for confirmation before proceeding, correct?
And if I see said error, stay away.

If you flash a stock firmware, you'll see the error, but it won't ask you for confirmation. It'll just display 'security version downgrade' if your bootloader is actually newer than the firmware you're flashing. Thus, fastboot should block you from downgrading the bootloader and GPT, so you'd likely still have the Oreo bootloader on your device (unless something's changed with Motorola's enforcement of bootloader versions).
The only time you may be okay is if the subsequent OTA is the same as the newest firmware that you had on your device. E.g. if you applied the soak test OTA (OPS28.49-2), then downgraded to the April 2018 firmware, if the next OTA you use is OPS28.49-2 or a newer Oreo OTA (as you have an Oreo bootloader), then you should be okay. If you however get a Nougat OTA (like the June 2018 security patch), I'd honestly stay away unless you want to risk it. Again, I do not know if the June 2018 7.1.1 would brick your device, but you've got no way of recovering your device besides paying for an expensive motherboard replacement. If you're on the soak test, try to stay on the soak test please.

Question. I've restored efs before after downgrading and it's worked. I would flash the custom rom of choice and if finger print and volte didn't work I would go back and restore efs from soaktest. I'm returning from soaktest again and that method doesn't seem to work. My question is, do you restore efs before you flash custom rom or do you wait till after the rom has flashed and reboot to check first?

Hi ! Don't be afraid, if you follow every step correctly you shouldn't have any problems, if you already unlocked your bootloader you should flash the latest version of TWRP if you want to root your phone, you can't use gcam unless you do it because you need to enable cam2api by adding a specific line to the build.prop.
If you decide to root it, just flash the treble version of TWRP and then flash the latest version of magisk, then you'll be able to modify your build.prop !
Ask me if you need any help

You don't need to backup the system image, just backup system, data and boot, and also persist and efs just in case you lose your IMEI. Are you using treble TRWP?
I got the T-mobile REVVLRY+ today, and naturally, I wanted to put the stock motorolla firmware on it. Partly to see if I could, partly to get rid of the T-Mobile bloat and see what Motorola features T-Mobile had removed.
Everything went swimmingly, I have PPW29.98-107 installed, I even have WIFI Calling. What I did lose, however, is VoLTE. I did use TWRP to perform a backup before flashing, so I tried restoring it to get a better look at how VoLTE works in the T-Mobile firmware. This is where things got hairy. I stupidly only backed up boot, system, and data. When I use TWRP to restore them, I get stuck in a boot loop. The built in boot loop fix in TWRP didn't help.
1. Any ideas on getting as close to stock as I can with only the boot, system, and data partitions?
2. Does anyone have access to a REVVLRY+ that would be willing to do a full backup that I may try to restore?
*Edit* SO I used the code *#*#4636#*#* and VoLTE provisioned is enabled, so maybe I do have VoLTE?
*Edit 2* Google Pay doesn't work, even after locking the bootloader. The device says that the operating system has been modified. Still trying to get it to restore.

HOW to
Hi, I just picked up the Revvlry+. Do you have step by step to install the Stock Moto firmware? I miss some of the features of the Moto. Also, was it easy to restore the TMO firmware just in case?
did you make any progress into the volte research? im on a unlocked xt1965-2 and using metro but i dont get volte in any of the stock roms or custom roms. i have tried flashing the modem from the stock tmo rom which didnt really do anything. i will probably try to flash the entire tmo rom tonight and see if it boots. im thinking if i get volte in the tmo rom and backup the persist, vendor and efs. then if i restore them onto a working cutom rom with volte enabled, volte should work.
i have also read about different scenarios in where you have to install workarounds to enable volte on treble roms. like installing the ims.apk to route the calls to volte and flashing a volte enabler to inject the correct files into the vendor partition.
my other device is a moto g5 plus which has numerous volte issues when switching between stock and custom roms or between different versions of android.
Did you use the Moto G7 Plus TWRP? I just picked up a Revvlry+ and I'm looking to root to install lawnchair or pixel launcher as a system app.

Are you saying with a Tmobile Revvlry, you were able to just go to the Motorola bootloader unlock page, paste your unlock codes, and presto as if it was just a normal Moto phone? If so, that is awesome!
I am thinking of swapping my Moto G7 Play with a Revvlry because of the 3gb RAM and NFC (the size of the G7 Play is perfect, I don't want to be forced to carry around a giant phone), but would love to flash the stock Moto G7 Play ROM over the Tmobile version. Not sure I'm willing to risk it, but if anyone has tried, I'd love to hear about it.
Logged into my account for this. Sorry if this is a little offtopic, but I want to see if this phone is compatible(or rather, how compatible it is) not only with Stock ROMs, but also with custom ROMs. For those REVVLRY owners, what have been your experience with this?

Can confirm flashing Moto g7 play firmware on T-Mobile revvlry. Caveat, you can no longer take OTA's and NFC is broken. Also can be bootloader unlocked through the Moto website.
Wouldn't you need to flash the G7 plus firmware for NFC to work?

That makes sense, the SD632 is NFC capable however I'm on the G7 play not the plus (I know, I know wrong forum)
I can't get the stock rom to work. It just bootloops every time. I tried all 3 versions. Any ideas?
Hey friends, would one of you kind sould who own the Revvlry+ be kind enough to post this Wallpaper?
Thanks in advance!

Did you manage to restore it with firmware? Because I have a bootloop and I'm looking for a solution
quiet boy
I just solved the problem I had like 4 crazy hours with solve bootloop, the problem that I commanded automatic flash, not flashing the vendor partition and then flashed the manual vendor partition
mfastboot flash vendor vendor.img and ready
edit:
for users with Revvlry+ variant (XT1965-T) use this Flash.bat
I'm looking for a good source of firmwares, i know the famous sites but some firmwares doesn't seem to be listed. I know in the time os Samsung KIES there were tools which communicated directly with samsung.
For example these firmware builds for the SM-G975Ux aren't listed on most firmware sites but have the December secutiry update with binary/bootloader version 8: G975USQS8IVL1 and G975USQS8IVL2
All the big sites have ROMs for that phone (same one I have). There is no "Ux" model... it's *U or *U1, with the latter being unlocked. IF you search for U1 ROMs you have many selections, but most get the XAA version which will usually change carriers automatically based on the SIM card.
The latest BL=8 version I see there is https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/g...M-G975U1/XAA/download/G975U1UEU8IWB6/1741280/ which is the February 2023 security update. I believe this is the last one we are getting (but I could be mistaken as there may be 1 more security patch, I don't remember).
There's U U1 0 W F N .... I'm looking for the oldest firmware with binary version 8, but it seems the sites don't show all firmwares available.... i'm looking for the oldest firmware with U8 bootloader (or any compatible bootloader with binary 8 version), i could have a look at all sites and try my luck... but they don't seem to have all data. but like i said i prefer some original source xml files... i saw some url's to original samsung servers but can't find them anymore.
There is already a firmware available with the march update.... but you have to be lucky to find them... i'm looking for original sources. like update.zip's and such
Found the first one....

I'd recommend around sammobile and samfw. These are the two sources I use the most
hey!
after I wanted to update my g973f from "G973FXXUGHVK1" to "G973FXXSGHWC2" (I tried odin 3.13 and odin 3.14) and an error occurred, I can't install anything anymore... recovery and download mode work, and I can also flash the original firmware, but the device no longer boots into the system! even custom roms don't want to boot anymore
Can anybody help me further?

Do you mind explaining a bit more? Do you mean like that it boots you into recovery only or?

if i flash a new rom (whether original or custom rom) nothing happens after the reboot... download mode works too, flashing twrp works too! however, the system boot does not work via twrp either... not even a bootloop, the cell phone does not react at all! the task combination for
Right now I don't even care if I get the original firmware or a custom rom running... I hope I didn't brick it (((
My old device was a G930F, its unbreakable make sure you flash the right rom and wipe data and dalvik cache after flashing.... THis ons is locked so it doesn't have fastboot. My G-930F came with fastboot enabled so you can always fastboot a recovery.img. like TWRP
Did you try to download TWRP from twrp.me and "fastboot boot twrp-3.7.0_9-0-herolte.img" ? it should boot to twrp in fastboot mode (hold volume down + home + power).

1. is your KG status is broken?
2. Is your bootloader unlocked?
You know how to flash lineageos through twrp right? and how to use odin?
Maybe flash lineageos to see if everything works.... and then revert to original software. Be sure to wipe cache/dalvik and userdata

Yes, I know there are many other variant firmwares out there, but for a U phone (snapdragon) there is really only U and U1... the rest are incompatible.
There is no "older" firmware with binary 8, because the firmwares are packaged with the proper/compatible binary already. Basically, the "binary" is the bootloader version. On Snapdragon phones, you must have the proper BL/binary to flash, as you already know. You can't interchange the binary/BL with the ROM and security updates because they are not made that way.
The update.zip you're looking for are updates sent by Samsung directly, and they can update the ROM (and Binary) from one stock version to another... but, again, they will update both the binary/BL as well as the ROM, so they can't be broken up to only do one or the other.
It sounds like you're trying to get to an older ROM version (for whatever reason) with an older security patch level as well? Basically, this cannot be done on Snapdragon phones. Once you're on an updated binary/BL, you're stuck there (at least today you are).

I solved the problem! I had unlocked the bootloader, but I also had to deactivate verity via CMD with twrp+adb "adb disable-verity"
ok i've solved the problem now, but does anyone know why i couldn't even start the original stock roms? Actually, the stock ROM should set everything to factory settings...

Thank you for helping so quickly with ideas... I would not have expected such quick help with such an old model, even samsung customer service didn't want to help me yesterday

I've tried different firmwares, its all about snapdragon. You can also flash SM-G975W parts and other snapdragon variants.... there's a lot of variants out there.
I first upgraded and then downgraded to the parts i wanted and am on a rom now with security patch level December 2022, as long as the binary version is the same there's no problem. I've got the latest modem installed and the oldest firmare and bootloader for the latest binary version, i can upgrade or downgrade my bootloader. I already asked someone before if this was possible and if he could confirm because before i was only able to flash CSC and AP i think.
If there's no updates comming anymore why not downgrade and wait for a new leak
I'm also sure we can unlock the bootloader, i'm trying to make an lposed module. I've installed lspatch and lposed and they work fine for some modules. The bootloader unlock has several prerequisites (properties and such) if i can make it look for other properties or something like that we might get an unlock option. Also it looks for an encrypted file on EFS, if someone with an unlocked samsung phone could copy that file we would be a lot further.
It's called /efs/sec_efs/sktdm_mem/encmembership.txt and should be an encrypted file, also if anyone knows how to set ro properties without root (like a stub before the preference controller starts) this would be very usefull.
