Motorola Edge 2024 Unofficial Recoveries/Firmware/Documentation

This is a GitHub repo that attempts to document all information that I know of when it comes to the Motorola Edge 2024, (avatrn). I plan to add guides/firmware dumps to this repo to hopefully assist in official ROM's being built for this phone.

Firmware

crDroid - WIP
If you would like to build your own images, or want a certain ROM built, please use the GitHub issue template in this repo. If you like to build ROMs for yourself, GitHub user BobTheBlinker has the trees for the kernel, vendor and device.

Guides

Flashing Recovery

1. Download the recovery you want. Once downloaded, on your phone, open settings, go to About phone -> Device identifiers -> Tap build number until you get the toast notif that you are now a developer.

2. Go back to the normal settings, and click settings then developer settings and enable USB Debugging.

3. Once enabled, plug your phone into your computer and download ADB (Android Debug Bridge) and reboot the phone into the bootloader by running the command adb reboot bootloader

4. Once you see the Android with a open panel, run the command; fastboot flash recovery [img file name] (Make sure your terminal is in the directory your recovery image is in!)

5. Once flashed, run fastboot reboot recovery.

   Should work, if not, post a GitHub issue.

Flashing ROMs/GSI

The process for flashing a GSI is odd, to say the least. I recommend you wait for official builds of your ROM/a unofficial one from me, but regardless.

Note; Download the stock firmware for your exact device from here. Extract it and keep it for later.

1. Follow the previous guide to install your custom recovery.
2. Reboot your device to the bootloader.
3. Enter the following command; fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img --disable-verity --disable-verification Use the stock firmware vbmeta that you downloaded!
4. Once done, enter the following command as well. fastboot delete-logical-partition product Do not worry, this will not delete anything important like user data.
5. Reboot into recovery using fastboot reboot recovery or manually going into the bootloader and selecting recovery mode.
6. Flash your ROM/GSI to the System partition.

Warning

Please make sure you did not select System EXT or Super. You should have only selected System.

7. If done correctly, you should have a sucessful flash message in your recovery. Once done, back out of the message, (don't reboot just yet.) and now go to Wipe, and wipe the Dalvik ART Cache. You should also entirely format your user data, but if you don't want to, you can try without it. I always had to wipe it, but maybe it may be different for you.

8. Reboot. If you get a bootloop, flash the stock firmware back by using this GitHub script to convert the flashfile.xml to a shell script, reboot to the bootloader, and run it, and then retry. If it still doesn't work, the ROM you used doesn't support your device/you may need to redownload the file as it may be corrupted.

OTA Update Fix

You may have noticed after rooting that when trying to update via the settings, you get "Package verification failed." I'm unsure what causes this issue, but I'm sure it's due to the checksum failing. I have found 2 fixes to this, (partially.)

Fix 1

1. Using the flashing guide above, flash your stock firmware back and then update your phone in the stock ROM. Then once on the latest update, dump your boot image and patch it with Magisk/KernelSU/etc. (You'll have to look this one up, sorry.)

Fix 2

1. Flash your custom recovery, boot into it, and mount vendor.
2. Using the file manager, go into vendor, and click the build.prop file and then click View.
3. Find the following lines; ro.mot.build.guid and ro.carrier (ro.carrier may be "unknown", if so pull up the recovery terminal and input the command getprop and find ro.carrier there.) and write down/keep note of their output.
4. Go to the following site. https://motoota.lolinet.com/guid.php and input what the output of the lines above were in the according boxes.
5. Press "Get it", and now you should be able to download the OTA package for your device and sideload it. (I couldn't get past this step, you may have to edit the actual OTA package in order to get it to work.)
