XT1952-4 and LineageOS 18.1 - Moto G7 Play Questions & Answers

Hello everyone!
I noticed that Model XT1952-4 isn't a supported Model for LineageOS 18.1
Did anybody try LineageOS for XT1952-4 before? Were there any issues?
Wanted to feel out any potential issues before proceeding.
Thanks!

From here:
I'm running it on my XT1952-4 model right now, no issues. Actually, I'm running the microg fork, so maybe try that if you don't want to take any risk, but the mainline lineageos should work too.
IIRC, most of the differences between those models is just the network connection hardware, since they're made for different regions with different cell networks. If you're in Canada, the "-4" model is the correct model, and all the relevant hardware for the OS should be essentially the same as the officially supported models.

Mine is also an XT1952-4, I'm trying to get the bootloader unlocked (keep running into "Unlock data unavailable" in fastboot).

Project Treble Support?

Hi, just recently purchased this device through T-Mobile. Figured it was a great deal on a device with an actual unlockable bootloader from a carrier. Updated to 8.0 and noticed there's no Treble support. Does anyone know why this is? It's odd since this is one of the few devices that already utilizes the A/B slots for updates. I'm guessing Moto doesn't use a vendor partition? Is there any other reason why they wouldn't implement Treble support? And is there anything we can do on our end to try and encourage or enable support (doubting enabling since I don't think there's a vendor partition)? Just looking for more info on the situation.
Thanks

XT1710-06 ? What model is this? Can't find anything on it.

looking to upgrade from my current Z play....I'm on Verizon and like the idea of being able to get an unlocked version. I noticed this XT1710-06 but can't find what is different about it vs the XT1710-01. Does anyone know ?
Hello, I'm from Peru and I have the dual SIM version xt1710-06 Retla ... I do not know what happened, the phone stayed in the November patch and the OTAS that are in XDA with the December patch are not compatible. I read in Brazilian forums that for this phone the patches are different because it is dual SIM and that its official provider is Motorola and not a mobile operator. in the end all the variants work the same but it is for a specific region .. in Brazil they use the variant -07 in Europe it is -09 Asia I think it is -10 and china -11

It's XT1710-xx not XT1701-xx
You want XT1710-01.
That is the US Unlocked version, with unlockable bootloader.
I'm on Verizon, also.
The -06 is a dual SIM version with North American GSM LTE frequencies. It won't work with Verizon.
My Z2 Play from AT&T Mexico is single SIM and is a XT1710-06
My XT1710-06 is dual sim. Has TWRP 3.2.1-0 installed, yet I cannot get any of the lineage os 15.1 downloads to install. Always get a 255 error and even tried the, delete first to lines from that note pad file trick. No go. Any got an lineage 15 or 15.1 that is not in that g drive everyone is linking?

Is your TWRP a modified version, or is it all stock TWRP?
Sent from my Moto G4 Plus using XDA Labs
Thanks for the reply guys :laugh:. I managed to install Lineage OS 15.1 by reflashing a different Twrp. Instead of using twrp-3.2.1-0.img again, another thread mentioned twrp-3.2.1-0-albus.img for installing LOS 15.1. Everything you guys posted was spot on. Keep up the awesome work and thanks again for the umpteenth time.

Does 6.1 support Treble?

[UPDATE]
Confirmed to support Treble by "ali ba".
Hello all,
I've read lots of conflicting news about the support status of Project Treble in Nokia 6 (2018),
Can anyone confirm the support or the lack of it once and for all?
Thanks.
Correct me if I'm wrong but every device launching with 8.0 has to support Treble does it not? I guess the problem lies with whether Nokia will provide the ability to unlock the bootloader. I'm not sure if it makes a difference that this is an Android One device in this respect.
Does anyone have an official firmware available for download? I have TA-1054, China version and it seems it has a custom firmware. Thank you.

You're absolutely right, the problem is the Chinese release was on Nougat, and nobody has yet ran the Treble flag test on the international version.. maybe because not so many hands got it yet... We'll wait..
According to the test app it does support Treble, but I'm not sure whether to trust it.
Came with an update out of the box and I didn't check the version before applying it (which would have made that clearer).

Thank you very much!!! finally some useful results, I think we can trust the app, but just to make sure, could you please follow the procedure described in this page.. more specifically the terminal flag test..

Also, do you own the Chinese device or the international one?

If we trust the app, then also A/B updates should be enabled.

Hi, same here. Do you have any news? Have you managed to install unmodified Android to your TA-1054? Will appreciate any info.
Thanks.

Nope, no news yet.
Can someone tell us the difference between all Nokia 6 2018 models please?
TA-1068
TA-1045
etc...
Is there a specific model for 'Worldwide' like Nexus/Pixel?
Is there a Europe version?
...
...
THANKS!
[Update]
Just noticed you actually did just that... Thanks.
I think this is an important topic that deserves it's own thread..
Would you care to start it?, also what models are sold in what markets?
That would be useful.
cheers.
Try to obtain the global firmware of TA-1054. I can provide you with the firmware.
I have two Nokia 6.1 devices. One is TA-1054 and the other is TA-1089. Both Global/International/Made in India version. I have the firmware files. But I doubt, you'll be able to flash them with the Stock recovery in your Chinese Variant. If you want the links, I'll provide you. And yes, Nokia 6.1 supports Treble. And I've recently flashed Android 11 GSI. Well, only issue was unlocking the boot loader to flash custom recovery. I never want to bootloader unlock any other Nokia phone anytime soon.
The TA-10xx naming determines the variant of the phone. The (4 + 64 GB) variant is TA-1089. The values change depending on the ram and storage size. Also newer models for the same phone we're released with Mediatek processors and Snapdragon for different markets. Just like Samsung does, sells the Exynos variant in Asia while selling the Snapdragon variant in US, UK, EUR, etc. Nokia also started doing this with their Nokia 5.1 and 5.3( if I recall correctly, not sure). So those phones have multiple variants. The TA-10XX naming scheme is quite similar to RM-xxx scheme followed by Nokia in the past, when Nokia was owned by Nokia and not HMD. In fact, their shift to TA-XXXX naming suggest that they belong to the family of Android/HMD owned Nokia and not the old Nokia. Even the 3310 (The beast) and 8110 4G have TA-XXXX product code instead of the RM-XXX. It's like a product code which can determine the RAM, Storage and Chipset as well as Region of the device.
So to flash Android R, TWRP or TWRP based custom recovery is required. Then flash any Android 10 Custom ROM with Treble support. Also flash dm no verify.zip with the ROM. Reboot to set up device. Don't add any Google account and password, etc. Then again boot into TWRP, changed to Image mode from zip mode in Install. Flash the system.img from Android 11 GSI.
Then reboot.

Android Pie update in Europe

Hi,
I read different information regarding the Pie update of European models. I heard that that it is cancelled in US except of Verizon. But how does it look like with unlocked EU phones? Will we get the update or not? Does anybody know.
The promise to get Pie update was one of the reasons why I bought the phone. Now I feel tricked if we won't get it (and I assume it is the case).
I could get an unofficial update but then I'll loose Google Pay, my bank applications will not work anymore etc. Unlocking the bootloader is not an option for me.
But unlocking bootloader is the only one option for ATT users.

GSI ROMs without Treble...?

I have a Moto G5 Cedric and I plan to install a GSI ROM, but everywhere I have heard that I need my phone to have Project Treble compatibility, I have installed a lot of apps that tell you if your phone is compatible or not and they all say not compatible, but... is it true that it is not compatible?
PD: ROM: LineageOS 17.1 Android 10

It is a bit outdated, not having been updated in quite a while but you can download it from here => https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=287275

Android 10 GSI ROMs have broken RIL (Calls, mobile data, SMS, MMS, VoLTE, everything like you had no SIM card except that not even emergency calling works), Hotspot for example is often broken, etc. My advise: DO NOT USE.

Apologies, I did not notice @FranGAMER321 wanted to try Android 10.
To @FranGAMER321, I would say go by what @nift4 says since he's very knowledgeable about this device.

I don't know if he wants to try Android 10, he didn't specify. So I added some information to your good good: ) post.
