Possible. The data was deleted wasn't actually deleted. But only marked for deletion. So as you as new data it will follow a write scheme normally way it works on android is say a disk it will work from front to back and then start back at the beginning. To minimize write cycles so to prolong ssd type memory the deleted data isn't deleted until the next write cycles come around to those disk sectors. Which user data is in a different location. But every day that goes by you risk losing more and more

If you have image retention and also a rom that has livedisplay, such as lineageos or pixel experience plus, go to color calibration section, set rgb intensity to a value close to 90% For me 93% has worked and I consider that my problem is already quite severe, since then, image retention has not been a problem for me.

It should load the bootloader off the sdcard (when you press the corresponding buttons to enter bootloader mode) where you can then reflash stock firmware

I must necessarily remove the battery to boot from the sd card because the battery is internal and I can't take it out
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
At no point do my instructions say to remove the battery - only to make sure battery is charged up

All you need to do is put the as card in once correctly written and push the button combination to enter bootloader mode

Also check the naming of your sd card

E.g

dev/sdb1

Or

dev/mmcblk0p1

Or

Something else

What ever it is take the 1 (or last part) off in the command to write the image

Blank flash files are internally leaked by Motorola or motherboard manufacturers

[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
Do you have a locked bootloader?

You will probably get preflash validation errors because the boot image isn't signed by Motorola - I think if the bootloader is unlocked it would ignore such validation checks

You could try using mfastboot instead but you may get same result unless you get a firmware that has a signed boot.img

Mfastboot

Hi, I have a moto g7 power xt1955-5 I got from metro. I got them all unlocked and they also did the imei repair. On all but one of them, after the unlock and repair I could flash the stock rom and get the retla1st channel. However on one of them I can't. Does somebody have a blank flash that will flash the proper boot or bootloader to allow this or a complete backup I can use to make this possible to flash other stock roms. P.S. On all of the other phones I did the bootloader was locked. Thanks in advance.
[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] WetWilly:
Checking in a bit late, but the blankflash should have theoretically worked. Based on what you said, it looks like it is hanging at the point where the programmer is identifying the CPU; it takes about 3 seconds after the "Waiting for firehose to get ready" message for the CPU version ("MSM8953 1.0") to show up and the blankflash to continue. That points to either the programmer.mbn not being compatible with the XT1955-4 variant or that tweaks need to be made to files in the blankflash (e.g., xml edits and/or replacing .bin files with files for that specific variant).

Check the qboot log and after the "qboot version x.xx" line there's a DEVICE { section; confirm in that section that the cpu.id is 186 and the CPU.name is "MSM8953". If the CPU detection is correct then the blankflash probably needs to be tweaked.

I'm not sure the link you gave has the answer (at least based on the Google Translate version of that page) because their blankflash programmer started to flash the partition table while with yours the programmer didn't even get to the point of correctly identifying the CPU. From your log It looks that qboot can talk to the phone but the programmer cannot. Have you tried the blankflash under Windows instead of Linux?

This still smells like a communication issue because that blankflash should work - and has worked for a good number of people with the XT1955-5 variant. What about the cable - are you using the cable that came with the phone? Non-OEM cables can be YMMV for flashing tasks.
