Stock Android 8.0.0 Oreo ROM
for Moto E5 Play (James) XT1921-5
TWRP Flashable Installer​
DISCLAIMER:
By proceeding further, you are assuming full responsibility for any negative consequences which may result from flashing this ROM. While I have fully tested this ROM on my own device with no adverse issues, I will not be held liable for bricked or otherwise inoperable devices resulting from the installation of this ROM. You -- and you alone -- are solely responsible for your device. With that having been said, I will provide as much support as possible in the event of such a catastrophe. Please read this thread fully, and follow the instructions precisely, and you should incur no negative consequences.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Compatibility: XT1921-5 Moto E5 Play (James)
Android Version: 8.0.0 (Oreo)
Kernel Version: 3.18.71-perf-gb4140c9
Baseband Version: M8920_11.54.11.41R
Build No. OCPS27.91-23-3
Android Security Patch Level: June 1, 2018
Android SDK: 26
Build Date: June 7, 2018 (Original Stock Build)
Carrier Variant: Sprint, Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile
NOTE: This ROM is mostly pure stock. I have zipaligned all APK files in /system/framework and in /system/app to optimize RAM efficiency. Also, dm-verity has been disabled in the stock kernel. It should also be noted that the ROM installer does not flash sensitive bootloader partitions, the partition index (gpt.bin), or radio firmware partitions. Hence, it is completely safe to downgrade after flashing this ROM. Likewise, if you have not updated your firmware to the latest version via OTA, this ROM should still function normally.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Unlocked Bootloader;
2. TWRP Installed;
3. Decrypted Device Recommended (It is not yet confirmed whether this ROM will install and function on an encrypted device. In theory, and because this ROM is mostly stock, installation on an encrypted device should work so long as the /userdata partition is properly formatted. If your device is encrypted, you are flashing at your own risk. Keep in mind that by decrypting your device, you may later opt to manually encrypt your userdata by going to device SETTINGS>SECURITY & LOCATION>ENCRYPTION & CREDENTIALS and following the on-screen prompts and instructions. It is recommended to have a fully charged battery prior to encrypting your userdata. The process can take an hour or more, depending on the amount of userdata to be encrypted.
THANKS & MENTIONS:
@CodyF86 for his TWRP build, kernel patches, and /vendor fstab patches;
@SuperR. for his Windows version Kitchen;
@squid2 for his TWRP builds;
@CurbThePain for providing needed partition dumps;
@topjohnwu for his revolutionary Magisk Systemless Root Interface.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the ROM zip from the download link below and store it to external device storage. (Because the /userdata partition needs to be formatted prior to installation, saving the ROM zip to internal storage is not feasible.);
2. Boot your device into TWRP Recovery Mode;
3. MAKE A FULL NANDROID BACKUP (/system, /boot and, optionally, /data);
4. Wipe /system, /cache, and the Dalvik/ART cache;
5. Select Wipe>Format Data and follow prompts to format /data;
6. Reboot Recovery (this step is sometimes necessary to ensure proper mounting of partitions after formatting /data);
7. Select Install, navigate to the saved location of the ROM zip in external storage, select the file, and commence installation;
8. Reboot System.
Note: If you want root, flash the latest Magisk Beta version after completing Step 7 above. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589 To learn more about Magisk, visit the main Magisk stable release/announcement thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 Be sure to hit Thanks on @topjohnwu's threads.

Can you include vendor partition in the zip or separate as img?

Hey @althafvly, here is a dump of my vendor.img, which has force encryption disabled per the fstab file.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l56u4x5VHAJD8ZhnMhVo0ts7V1-NHHdI/view?usp=drivesdk
What are you thinking? Perhaps including the vendor.img in the ROM.zip to disable encryption? I am going to try implementing @CodyF86's modded fstab.qcom into the ROM for installation to /vendor/etc, to see if force encryption gets disabled after installation. Of course, I'll need to include a format command for /userdata as well.

You'll have to make the ROM install script, first mount /vendor then copy the vendor image or at least fstab to it, then install the ROM. People will still have to format /data to go unencrypted, but should still be able to use your ROM with an encrypted /data, so it's really if the person wants to do it or not, but you could write the script to push the fstab tho.
mount -o,rw /dev/block/platform/soc/7824900.sdhci/by-name/vendor /vendor
cp fstab.qcom /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom
then optionally format /data

Got it. Thanks @CodyF86 for the command lines and info. I'll try to add an Edify script into the installer. Also, because formatting /useedata will be required, I will go ahead and add a format command for the data partition into my installer as well. I will, of course, add credit to the OP for using your modded files.

Can I Flash This On My Moto E4 sprint xt1766 ? silly question but asking is free :> maybe just the system partition jejeje

It would not be advised to do so. This stock ROM is for the Sprint variant of the Moto E5 Play only, and would certainly not be compatible on the xt1766 Sperry. This ROM would first need to be ported to the xt1766.

I'm in the process of updating the thread to reflect the recent OTA update - Android 8.0.0, Build Number OCPS27.91-23-3, Blur_Version 27.11.26.en.US.sprint. This OTA includes standard bug fixes, stability improvements, baseband radio patches for smoother data roaming handover, and Google security patches through June 1, 2018. With fingers crossed, it is looking as if this budget device will receive its fair share of OTA updates. The Motorola Mobility LLC software development manifest currently reflects that regular OTAs will be rolled out for the Moto E5 Play.

Beta release of LineageOS 15.1 is out for the James.

Gentlemen, ladies, and others (one must stay politically correct these days), for those of you needing factory firmware for the Moto E5 Play (James), the Development Gods have smiled upon us. Motorola Mobility has inadvertently leaked official firmware packages for ours and a few other variants. Being the watchdog that I am, I was able to capture a few packages before they were removed from the carrier manifest server. I'll be posting a stock firmware and restoration thread for the James before the weekend is up. Sure wish there was more enthusiasm for James development, but it doesn't seem so thus far. Maybe the device will catch on some more.

I don't think so, but don't quote me on that. I honestly hadn't realized how many variants of the Moto E5 existed until I started researching them. Give me your model number and I'll see what I can find for you. I have packages for the xt1921-5 Sprint variant Moto E5 Play, the xt1944-1 Moto E5 LTE, a couple packages for the Moto E5 Plus, etc. But, because I'm traveling at the moment I have not had a chance to sort through everything that got leaked.
Update: my friend you do have a James. If your model number is xt1921-2 you are in luck. I have official Cricket firmware.

I am happy to report this runs on the XT 1921-1 with Freedom Mobile (Canada) branding I bought recently. Flashed with TWRP.
There is one bug. The camera app and torch function no longer work if I allow the Play Store to update "Camera Tuner for Moto E5 Play" from the version in the stock reflash.

Good info to know. I'm cooking a stock Android 8.0.0 ROM (current build) for the xt1921-1 and, since I do not own this variant, I'll need testers before I can post it to a thread. Other than disabling dm-verity in the stock kernel, I'll be leaving it untouched. Users who want root can simply flash the latest Magisk systemless root installer following the ROM installation.

Finding some helpful solution.
My aunt from US (Based in hawaii) just bought Motorola E5 Plus but I have a problem, my phone does'nt read any sim here in the Philippines. If I install your stock rom I can use any sim using this phone?
Your answer will be more appreciated. Thank you.

My ROM is intended only for the Moto E5 Play (xt1921-5) variant, which is the Sprint compatible model. Nevertheless, the ROM does not enable any special carrier capabilities. In your case, go to device Settings>>System Update and select the UICC Unlock option. This should unlock your device to work with international GSM providers.

Moto E5 Play (XT1921-1)
Stock Android 8.0.0
Build No. OPP27.98
This is an untouched, pure stock ROM for the xt1921-1 Moto E5 Play. For best results it is recommended to save this ROM to external storage, boot into TWRP recovery, perform a full wipe and format /useedata prior to installing. Because I do not own the xt1921-1, I'll need testers to confirm functionality. However, I can confirm that the ROM works on my xt1921-5 Boost Mobile variant with no negative consequences or bugs.

Give this a try @exasperation and let me know how it goes. Thanks. Once functionality is confirmed on the xt1921-1, I'll put this ROM in its own thread.

[ROM][P905][UNOFFICIAL] Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 Android 7.1.2 20180118

I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
This firmware was developed for the p905. It doesn't apply to the p905v at this time because it's bootloader locked and a custom recovery isn't possible.
If you want to check firmware - please make backup. Better to store all partitions, at least efs and may be modem.
I'm using nano gapps.
Instructions
1. Install custom recovery
2. Download the zip(s) - firmware and Google Apps additional package (optional)
3. Backup all partitions (it least efs) and store somewhere - it need to do - because you can loose imei
4. Full wipe all
5. Flash firmware and gapps

The idea is create another thread for custom firmwares, based on lineage\aosp.
Right now it's RR only, i'm working on OMNI rom, and later i'll build more firmwares.

I'm taking a stab at what you are trying to express but the roms take 10 to 15 minutes to boot the first time because you are doing a full wipe. If you are not giving it at least that long magisk is not a likely cause.

Send Valera1978 a bug report via Private Message. It is the only way developers can isolate the problem and fix it. In most Roms you can take a bug report via developer options.

As far as i know, the TWRP recovery works fine even before the unofficial beta... woods has come to it's best so far.

Already do that. Also try with two or three different ROMs and get the same error. Doesn't matter, I'LL wait for some more stable version of twrp and some ROM.
Tks

Hi, this TWRP version to Moto E4 woods is not good.
It does not install GAPPS, and do not install SUPER SU.
With GAPPS the error is about 64 bits version. And with supersu it says that "Bad recovery no Unzip."
I tried with a unnoficial version and worked everything.
Please update in TWRP site to a new version with bug fix.
Look a this thread with the version that worked with Moto E4 woods.

[ROM][james] Unofficial Lineage OS 15.1 for Moto E5 Play (beta v1.01)

LineageOS 15.1 (Beta v1.01)
for Moto E5 Play (james)
Boost Mobile/Virgin Mobile/Sprint Variants
LineageOS 15.1 is a free, community-built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 8.1.0 Oreo, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) with extra contributions from a myriad of developers and enthusiasts within the Android community. LineageOS can be used without need of having any Google application installed. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is slowly being open sourced.
LineageOS Source Code: https://github.com/LineageOS
LineageOS Changelog: https://www.cmxlog.com/15.1
LineageOS Gerrit Code Review: https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/status:open
Kernel Source Code MSM8920: https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/releases/tag/MMI-OCP27.91-23
This is a LineageOS 15.1 build based on Project Treble. More specifically, it is based on XDA Recognized Developer @phhusson's Phh-Treble and his ARM32 Vanilla GSI. Because the Moto E5 Play is officially supported by Project Treble, I have taken the vanilla GSI and made it bootable for our device. Along with a modified kernel from the stock Android 8.0.0 OS, I've compiled a TWRP flashable Lineage 15.1 custom ROM for the james. This vanilla ROM is very much bare-bones -- no GApps, no SU addon, etc. -- and is likely chocked full of bugs at this time. So, without further ado.....
DISCLAIMER: Your warranty is hereby null, void, and held for naught. By proceeding further, you are assuming full responsibility for any good or bad consequences which may result from flashing this ROM. While I have installed and tested this ROM on my own device, and can confirm boot up and basic functionality, I cannot yet elaborate on bugs and other types of instabilities. This is truly a work in progress at this point. So, to sum it up, FLASH THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I am hereby absolved of any liability from bricked, damaged, or otherwise inoperable devices.

BUGS:
Working:
RIL
Bluetooth
WiFi
Not Working:
Camera
Please properly report bugs, with submission of a bug report if you know how. If not, please give a clear and concise explanation of the bug. NOTE: Please DO NOT report bugs if you are running modifications such as Magisk Modules, Xposed Framework, etc. This makes it nearly impossible to pinpoint, troubleshoot and fix bugs and instabilities. Also, please know that I am not a ROM maintainer for Project Treble or LineageOS. So, while I will do my best to resolve bugs and provide some bug fixes and updates, please do not ask for ETAs. I work 55+ hours a week at Motorola Mobility, LLC., so I don't always get a lot of free time.
THANKS & MENTIONS:
Thanks to @SuperR. for his awesome Windows Kitchen;
Thanks to @CodyF86 for breaking ground and building TWRP for the james;
Thanks and credits to @phhusson for his Phh-Treble Vanilla GSIs;
Thanks to the entire LineageOS team;

Guys please provide feedback and feel free to contribute on this. I have more custom ROMs on the way such as ResurrectionRemix, PixelExperience, and AOSP-Extended. But I don't have a lot of free time to maintain ROMs, so I'm going to need help ironing out bugs and compiling patches.
Hum that's weird, wifi works for me on Moto E5
For camera, I have the fix pending for two months, I just haven't committed it yet -_-'
Thanks so much for commenting. After wiping the Dalvik/ART & /cache, WiFi is now working. I'll keep my eyes open for your pending camera commit.
Update: WiFi,, Bluetooth and RIL appear to be functional. Over the next few days I'm in hopes that user feedback will provide me with more insight as to bugs & instabilities.
this boots fine on e5 plus after flashing e5plus-noverity kernel and magisk as for ril data and all i cant tell you until i fix my sprint e5plus modem files messed them up by accidently flashing a differnt e5plus rom will report back more when i manage to completly fix my phone

Ok thanks @allenjthomsen. Yeah there seems to be many of us in the same boat -- patiently waiting for Motorola Mobility to either release or "leak" some factory images for the Moto E5 series devices. I'm actually drafting a baseband radio thread now for the James, compiling a TWRP flashable installer to restore radio/modem firmware and reset the network config to factory default. I know of a couple of devs over at Android Central that may can dump baseband partitions for your device. Also, please provide me with your Baseband Version. Thanks...
I have a bootable Android 9.0-DP3 ROM for the James. Lots of stuff broken, so I'm going to get it more stable, implement a working GApps package, etc. before posting it. Going to try and get our camera app working on this ROM also, maybe see if I can talk @phhusson into sharing his fix. Hint hint
i can dump files if needed and btw i tried your lineage os and i couldnt get data but got signal and camera crash other than that it ran great on my replacement E5 Plus Sprint model

Thank you for your feedback. I have a camera fix underway. As far as data connectivity I've had some issues myself, so I'm dissecting that issue too.
I have the same problem with the camera with GSI roms on a motorola e5 plus (rhannah). I get the impression that Motorola has something not standard in its handling of cameras of this family of devices

Thanks dude.
@MotoJunkie01 Hey, if you get a second pm me. I got your rom to boot on the g6 play by switching kernels, so I decided to compile a treble rom myself and I can compile it successfully, but the rom won't boot...clang seg faults like 30 times trying to compile it, so I think that is the actual issue, but wanted to bounce a few things off of you. No worries, thanks.

Thanks for your work. Would this Lineage ROM work for the T-Mobile variant of the E5 Play (XT1921-3)?

Not likely. There's no real danger in trying it because my installer does not flash sensitive partitions, but only /system & /boot. While I don't perceive any chance of bricking your device, it would be at your own risk. You would be better off flashing your device with a Treble GSI. While this ROM is technically based on a Project Treble GSI, I done some mods to the stock boot image and compiled the installer from porting. Hence, the ROM should not be characterized as a GSI itself. By the way I do have firmware for the xt1921-3, which I will be posting in my Moto E5 firmware thread over the next couple days.
my model is moto e5 play (XT1920-15)
my model is moto e5 play (XT1920-15) , will it work also my codename is not james. also how we can backup stock rom. before trying dont we need stock rom for this phone , so we can be secure.

I can only confirm compatibility with the xt1921-5. But before trying it, as you have correctly noted, it is crucial to have a suitable backup of your /system and /boot partition, just in case anything goes wrong. Most times, backups are made using a custom recovery such as TWRP. However I'm not familiar with your variant and therefore do not know of a working TWRP for your device. I will check my firmware archive and see if I can find a package for your model.
Update; unfortunately, at this time I cannot find firmware or custom recovery for your variant. I would urge you to post under the Q&A thread and ask if any members have your model.

Kernel Source Code: https://github.com/MotorolaMobilityLLC/kernel-msm/releases/tag/MMI-OCP27.91-23
CHANGELOG:
This ROM is built from a maintenance release OTA from the previous build (OCPS27.91-140-1). This update includes Motorola Mobility's standard bug fixes, stability improvements, and Android security patches through December 1, 2018. The Baseband Version (radio firmware) was not updated and remains at version M8920_21.11.11.62R. Hence, I did not include a Baseband updater in the downloads section. The bootloader partitions and partition index (GPT) were updated via the OTA. However, these were merely maintenance type updates and no substantial changes were made. For those members wishing to fully update their devices to OCPS27.91-140-3, I have included a partition updater in the downloads section.
REQUIREMENTS:
An unlocked bootloader and TWRP custom recovery are needed to install this ROM. If you do not have TWRP installed, visit XDA Senior Member @CodyF86's thread on TWRP for this device here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e5/development/recovery-twrp-moto-e-5-play-james-t3796323 Also, be sure and thank @CodyF86 if you use his work.
INSTRUCTIONS:
**It is recommended that you first update your device partitions to the corresponding ROM build. Just download the partition updater below and install it with TWRP.
1. Download the ROM zip from the download link below and store it on your device's internal or external storage;
2. Boot your device into TWRP recovery mode;
3. Wipe System, Data, Cache & Dalvik/ART;
4. Select Install, navigate to the saved location of the ROM zip, select the file, and swipe the action bar to commence installation;
5. Once installation is finished, reboot system;
6. Done.
BUGS:
No known bugs. Please report any bugs in comments, with as much detail and clarity as possible. For members with knowledge on submitting bug reports, those are most helpful. Please so not post about bugs if you are using a custom kernel or if you are running ststem-based mods on this ROM (system-wide Xposed Framework, etc.). These types of modifications make it nearly impossible to properly diagnose a bug, or to determine the true source of the actual instability. Because this ROM is mostly pure stock, there should be no apparent instabilities or bugs outside of those possibly present within the factory stock build.
THANKS & MENTIONS:
I'd like to mention and give thanks to XDA Senior Member @CodyF86 for his hard work building TWRP for the James, and for his tutorials on TWRP & unlocking the bootloader. Also, thanks to the great @topjohnwu for his Magisk Universal Systemless Interface and his systemless root installer. Thanks to @osm0sis for his static BusyBox binary installer and his Magisk Modules.

Lineage OS 19 (ANDROID 12) for Moto G7 Play [UNOFFICIAL]

After a month or so of testing it as a daily driver, I'll post my self built rom. It's been built just following my building guide, I didn't touch the code in any other way (and it's quite noticeable regarding the loudspeaker). It's still got a few bugs (and a few newer ones), but this is the first stable-ish rom I've managed to build since April. Tested on the US version only.
-- DISCLAIMER --
It is highly advised to backup all your phone data, as it will be PERMANENTLY LOST during the upgrade process. Keep in mind that will be needed for future updates as well, as all self built Lineage 19 roms from source needed a hard reset to work properly. This is a highly experimental build, so EVERYTHING IS AT YOUR RISK. I take to responsibility whatsoever.
Also, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW as repartitioning the device is NECESSARY for the success of the operation.
---> DOWNLOAD LINK HERE: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=335748 <---
-- REQUIREMENTS --
- a computer with adb and fastboot installed. For further information and downloads go to https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
- a minimal comfort using a command line interface. For reference, a complete guide for the moto g7 play can be found here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/channel/install
-- INSTRUCTIONS --
- download the regular Moto g7 partitioning file: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=14655340768118450531 (thanks SyberHexen ). Remember this is STRICLY NECESSARY.
- connect your Moto g7 play in fastboot mode to a computer with adb and fastboot installed
- from the folder where the file has been downloaded, flash the Moto g7 partitioning file using this command:
fastboot flash boot ocean_gpt.bin
- from the moto g7 play, wipe the memory and the dalvik cache, go into recovery mode, allow sideloading and then sideload the lineage-19.1-20220721-UNOFFICIAL-channel file using the following command:
adb sideload lineage-19.1-20220721-UNOFFICIAL-channel.zip
- OPTIONAL: if you desire to install the Google apps, reboot your phone into Recovery Mode and sideload the respective package (MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm64-20220416_174313 worked great for me)
- reboot.
-- SOURCE --
- base Lineage OS 19.1: https://github.com/LineageOS/android/tree/lineage-19.1 . This includes the standard sm6150 kernel found here: https://github.com/sm6150-motorola/android_kernel_motorola_sm6150
- SyberHexen's Motorola Channel specific settings: https://github.com/SyberHexen/android_device_motorola_channel/tree/lineage-19.1
- Proprietary blobs extracted through this guide from SyberHexen's April build (Android File Host)
-- KNOWN BUGS --
- the Lineage and the Whatsapp camera don't work well, in particular they don't always shoot photos when the button is pressed. Google Camera does work great tho.
- the backlight doesn't always turn up when calls are received (putting a finger on the fingerprint sensor with the phone ringing will turn it on)
- screen on on notifications does not work
- loudspeaker can be tinny at high volume (may be due to the loudspeaker's poor quality and to the common settings of the mixer_paths.xml file, for more info on the topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/anyone-have-fix-for-low-volume-from-speaker.4054283/ )
Thank you all for this ROM, also there are LineageOS 20 builds (Android 13) on official LineageOS site, i want to ask if there is an way to fix ambient display on LineageOS 19, LineageOS 20 sadly gives me way too low RAM to use it, and SWAP memory is not working on Lineage 20
Edit: many apps do restart extremely often, but it's understandable since it's only an 2 GB RAM device running an ARM64 ROMs
@feder86co @chuy19312 Tell me please, does 4K video recording works on this particular ROM? Or is it possible at least?

Well, sadly, LineageOS 19 zips were deleted, even LineageOS 18 zips some time ago, and i never understood why, there are only LineageOS 20 builds today

I just remembered, i have the last official LineageOS 19 for Moto G7 Play, i uploaded it to my Google Drive, here you have an link
lineage-19.1-20221225-nightly-channel-signed.zip
drive.google.com
The only bug it have is that ambient display doesn't work, at least, is the only one i found
Note to official developer of this ROM. if there is an problem to share this old version ROM, please tell me , but please, don't report my link in case there is an problem, i can remove the link but not the ROM since i have it because LineageOS 20 restarts almost all of the apps, multitasking on that rom doesn't exist because when switching on apps, they get restarted, even system ones
Edit: if someone have an build of LineageOS 18 or 18.1, please, give me an link for it
