LineageOS on Motorola Z2 Force
Whenever there is a major LineageOS Update, chances are that I forgot the flashing process. So here are the notes.
Disclaimer: Due to the missing tools to flash from OpenBSD, I use my work computer, which runs windows.
Required Downloads: * Android Platform Tools (contains adb and fastboot) * Motorola Smart Assistant (contains USB drivers for fastboot)
Prepare: - Install motorola smart assistant - Extract platform-tools make sure you’re in the platform tools directory or that they are in your $PATH.
Update steps: - p[hone]: Boot into bootloader (power+down) - c[omputer]: fastboot flash boot_a \<lineageos_recovery>.img - c: fastboot flash boot_b \<lineageos_recovery>.img - p: Boot into bootloader (power+down) -> Boot Recovery - p: Factory Reset -> Wipe data / factory reset + Wipe System - p: Apply update -> adb sideload - c: adb sideload \<lineageos>.zip - c: adb sideload \<addons>.zip - p: Reboot
Notes: * “adb devices” works without USB drivers * “fastboot devices” shows nothing if USB drivers are not installed * This phone has two boot areas and therefore “fastboot flash boot” will fail. The areas “boot_a” and “boot_b” must be used instead. If “boot_a” and “boot_b” are flashed differently, booting will fail.
