[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] FakedKetchup:
It cannot be done using fastboot but it is certainly possible using the Realtek VCOM USB protocol

https://xdaforums.com/t/rooting-moto-g8-power-lite.4145473/

This video sums it up well

Essentially you need to:

1. download MTKCLIENT from github, works best on Linux IMHO but Windows works too - on Windows you need additional USB drivers and MTK Drivers, which i attached. Use PIP to install the requirements by going into the MTKCLIENT directory and typing into CMD/Terminal: python3 pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Copy the G8 power Lite specific script to the root folder of the MTKCLIENT

3. Open up the phone, remove the plastic covering the cameras and motherboard. Unplug the battery. Short these two pins either by soldering them together or just using something metal - this is only necessary during the flash and then should be removed.

4. Plug in usb cable to the phone but dont connect it to the pc yet. Start the program either by CD-ing to the MTKCLIENT directory and running it via CLI (on Linux: python3 mtk w proinfo,seccfg proinfo.bin,seccfg.bin, If it wont unlock using the custom G8 script, just run this generic command: python mtk da seccfg unlock) or doubleclicking the desbloq_bootloader.bat on Windows. Then short the two pins, keep them shorted and connect the USB cable to the PC. You should see a bunch of code scroling, it will automatically close/end.

5. Unplug USB, remove short circuit from two pins, plug in battery, turn on phone, you should see lines of text during the boot like this:

Bootloader unlocked. Now the only use is ROOT, no custom ROMs or Recoveries available as its vastly different from normal G8 power, which has a Snapdragon CPU and totally different screen. You'll also get a big "CARRIER INVALID" message on the home screen, so after you ROOT make sure to relock the bootloader using the same method but the command is python3 mtk da seccfg lock

I'm almost sure that what I got it's a - Moto g8 Power lite - XT2055-1

So I got the phone long ago and it's been mostly at home and used as a backup by some of my friends.. I can't even remember which person had it last time.

Thing is that I completely forgot about the Motorola protection and after factory reset it keeps on asking for the last used google account which I got no clue which one would be. To make things worst I have no way to find out the IMEI's so that I can use Motorola RSA.

It looks like to me that I can't enter BootRom mode and I can only access preloader mode even tho, I got access to recovery mode and meta mode. I have tried all the key combos I can imagine by now.

I have also tried sp flash tools but I'm getting an error when the process is starting.

I'll drop some more details soon.. thank you.

have you tried using mtkclient? unlock the bootloader and then remove frp
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] BadChoices:
I did before as far as I recall but I gave up on it I think 'cus I ran into some issues as well.. I'm a bit rusty when it comes to this kind of stuff.. now that I'm reading all again about the tools etc I'm gonna give mtkclient a go and keep you all posted. Thank you again.
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] BadChoices:
First off some questions please.. and I'm running win 11 pro.

What am I suppose to see on the screen when on Brom mode ? or how do I know that I'm on that mode.. obviously that if I'm not the operations just fail.

cant run mtk_gui atm for some reason trying to clear that out.. 'C:\Users\Q\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\shiboken6\libshiboken does not exist'

Also tried bypass_utility_v1.4.2 using dif. key combos always returns 'device in preloader mode, trying to crash..'

mtkclient handshake returns failed 'Preloader - [LIB]: status: handshake failed, retrying..'

I'll keep on trying to understand all this just need my time.. all help appreciated.
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] aryanhington:
for brom/preloader mode you will need to use the shorting method shown in the previously mentioned youtube video, not sure why you're trying mtk_gui and bypass_utility_v1.4.2 , what are you trying to achieve by using them?
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] BadChoices:
Well reading from github where you get the mtkclient I thought that I could unlock the bootloader using the bypass_utility_v1.4.2 just like that.. guess ain't that easy and tbh after reading your previous words also thought that I could try using the mtkclient regardless being via the gui or the terminal.

I have seen some posts about the Brasilian fella and more shorting method but thought that by now wouldn't be needed anymore.. I did have my phone open before 'cause of that.. guess I'll have to have a look again.. my bad.

Thanks again.
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] aryanhington:
you might be able to get into brom/preloader mode by holding volume down button while it is booting but shorting also brings the same result
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] BadChoices:
I still can't believe what is that I ran into.. so was about to disassemble the motherboard/cameras cover that doesn't look that straight forward but went on checking again some bits on the vid.. meanwhile made a search for moto g8 power lite disassembling when got the suggestion moto g8 power lite frp bypass.. the first vid solved my issue.. I just died 'cus I have been wondering about an hack like this for ages now.

I'll come back for some further assistance on some other devices when I get the... brains.

Thanks for the support @aryanhington
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] aryanhington:
care to share what you did so we can know?
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] BadChoices:
I do care.. I also care the way some people talk to others behind screens.

Now if you read what I have just said on my previous post and the first post so to get what you/I'm dealing with you will realize that I was stuck on welcome screen, after soft reset, 'cus of FRP, once the last google account used was still active and I had no clue. Just use the search string on youtube that I have mentioned and on the first vid follow the 20k steps to be able to bypass google/android FRP.

Farewell.

hi everyone

i was wondering why when i assign a specific ringtone to a contact, it doesn't work. i have flashed several different roms for my herald/wing and sometimes it works. is there a registery edit or something i have to do? i have tried saving the files into the main memory and also the storage and neither works. any ideas or should i just give up on have "devil woman" play when my wife calls.

thanks

DK
[General Topics] CRE:
Unless something's changed with OpenTouch 6.5 from ttrans fromer OT releases there's nothing special involved. Saving ringtones to the memory card often results in the loss of the assignment.

What type of file is it you're trying to use, how large is it and have you tried encoding it as another type?
[General Topics] digitalknoll:
i start with an mp3 and use audio manager to trim it and save into ringtones folder. i have also used mp3 trimmer with the same results.
[General Topics] CRE:
Have you tried MP3 ringtones supplied by anyone else?

If you want you may PM me your email address and I will send you one from my phone that I know works.
[General Topics] digitalknoll:
i have some RT's that i purchased a while ago and i have some midi tones too. its wierd, when i was using otv3.0 biggy all worked fine. i don't know. thanks for the offer and help
[General Topics] CRE:
Ok, so the bought ones aren't working either I take it. Do they work when you reflash OT3?

Are you restoring from a backup or do these not work with a fresh setup?
[General Topics] digitalknoll:
well i kinda have ot6.5 lite tweaked the way i like, so i don't want to go back to 3.0 just for tones. i was just wondering if anyone out there had already come across this and had a reg fix or something. i guess not that many people use diff tones for diff contacts. me, i need diversity in life, plus its easier to recognize a tone than pick up the phone and look whose calling. know what i mean? i also get a kick out of watching my co-workers faces when the diff songs come up. i guess i'll just keep an eye out for a fix. throw me one if you find it first.

thanks
[General Topics] CRE:
Well, the reason I asked if you've tried a fresh install or even going back to 3.0 is to see if it's not some corruption somewhere. I've run every ROM you've listed so far without issue. I use different ring tones for most of my contacts as well and the only times I ever had that issue was with one corrupt file and the rest were when I put the MP3s on my SDHC.

I'll keep an eye out though. I'd still try backing up (even if you just have to use a demo of Sprite Backup or something) and do a completely fresh install. If you find a solution post it up for future reference.
[General Topics] digitalknoll:
hmmm. i'm not sure what you men as to a fresh install. i am kinda new to all this tech, i've only had a wing for about 4 months. i have hardspl'd my wing and i hardly ever get any errors when flashing. does sprite backup keep all your rom settings? pretty much all i ever need to keep is my stuff on the mem card. what i dont understand is that i can set a tone for my main ring and that always works. something gets screwy when applied to contacts. so you keep all your tones in main memory? isn't that a mem hog?
[General Topics] CRE:
Sprite and a couple other apps out there create a backup file of all your settings and selected or all of your files. They saved to a compressed file on either your mem card or your PC (not all apps will backup straight to the PC).

At any rate I just wanted to make sure you weren't from a backup file... to eliminate one possible source of the issue (incompatible settings saved to it from a different ROM setup or corruption).

What I mean by a fresh install is reflashing the ROM and reinstalling all your apps via their installer. No restoring from a backup file or copying files to their folders. Not trying to confuse you.

First thing I'd try now that I know a bit more would be to download a demo of a backup program and make a backup. Then I'd reflash, try setting things up far enough to test the ringtones. If they work, then just plan on reconstructing your preferred setup without using the backup to restore your settings from... if there's no change, then restore the back up and you're right back where you were before.

Does that make sense?

If you're having this problem with more than the one ROM I doubt it's just a setting error. I'd try different sound files altogether.

Specifically which ROMs are you having this problem with anyway? You might see if they've got something in common, such as the same version of sound drivers.
[General Topics] digitalknoll:
not confusing at all. i got what your saying. i guess i'm actually fresh installing everytime since i don't use any back-up programs. is that right? anyway what other forms of sound files would you recommend? what are you using? the versions of roms i have been using are basically every rom from Ttran's OT collection, starting with v3.0 and currently v6.5 throttlelaunch3d lite. v3.0 is the only one that the tones worked for. i will try the back-up idea you have after work today. thats a good idea. thanks
[General Topics] CRE:
Yeah, I'd call the way you're doing it a "fresh install"... I mean by that that the system and ROM are essentially fresh and untouched. So you know there's not an old setting that might be causing the problems or a bad registry entry.

Backing up definitely makes things easier. I make a backup of my setup fairly often. Then when I want to try another I'll flash it, start setting it up, and if I need to be back with my old setup before I can finish setting up the new one, I'll backup where I am with the new setup, reflash my old ROM and restore the backup for the old setup... then I can resume working on getting the new one where I want later on.

I make my MP3 ringtones using Audacity. I generally make the mono and only 40kbps... nice and small but usually still sound good at that size. You could also try a WAV file.

I haven't used OT 3, but I've tried all the rest, not just the lite ROMs either. I haven't had any trouble. My offer still stands to send you one of my ringtones for you to test with if you want.
[General Topics] digitalknoll:
sounds good. is audacity a free? i'm gonna pm you my email and we can try a little test. maybe the stereo is the problem.

thanks
[General Topics] CRE:
Email sent.

I doubt the stereo is the issue, although file size, bit rate and VBR may be.

Audacity is free. It takes a little getting used to, but there are how-to's on the net, just Google it. It's NOT as user friendly as some apps, but it is generally better than more of the dumbed down apps.

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
[General Topics] CRE:
Have any luck?
[General Topics] digitalknoll:
ok, you got me. it worked. did you make those using audacity? if so, i guess i'll have to DL it and start cuttin up some tones. wierd huh?

anyway,thanks for the help. i hope i didn't inconvenience you too much.

DK
[General Topics] CRE:
So I take it they worked alright for you?

Yeah, I made those with audacity. If you need any help with it shoot me an email.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] HEdwards2008:
I've started trying my hand at cooking some of my own ROMs over the past couple of days and have gotten confused on some stuff. I've been following the both the Wiki's and the threads on cooking but none of them seem to point it out so here goes.

1) I'm trying to use a base ROM such as this one or this one and have been successful in both dumping them and cooking them using Alex's latest revision of KaiserKitchen and his apps. When I am including the os.nbh file during the cooking process, should it be the one that comes up in the main KaiserKitchen folder or the one that is located in the BASEROM folder? Is either of those files just the OS part of the ROM without all the applications and such?

2) After cooking and successfully flashing either of the two before mentioned ROMs I will always get the auto-installer which occurs on a default ROM. The problem is is that none of the defined packages that I've chosen in the cooking process will be installed when the ROM is flashed. Why is this? Is there something that I should be doing that I'm not doing now that will allow this?

I would greatly appreciate any help in this as I want to become an avid chef but want to learn the ropes first. I've been toying around with it and wanted to get a decent collection of base ROMs and understand them before I start customizing them and such. Again, any help would be thoroughly appreciative and love what you guys are doing here.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] yardie.spike:
os.nb should be in base rom with RUU_signed.nbh(once youve extracted) The File that is generated during ervius package tools is OS-new.nb-this is your new os. Kaiser Wiki has all info.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] HEdwards2008:
I've been searching the Wiki like crazy and I guess I am just confused on it. So OS-new.nb is the OS ROM with all of the packages, Which one would be just the OS itself? The os.nb file in the BASEROM folder?

:confused::confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] yardie.spike:
Yeah, but dont worry about os.nb in base rom folder, unless you dont want to mod the rom and just add your fave radio/splash/spl. If thats all you want to do then recomplile using htcrt.exe in tools folder. OS .nb is what is extracted into OEM SYS and ROM folders in the kaiserkitchen. To add Packages put a folder called Packages in your kaiserkitchen and put your OEM Packages in it, then run KAISERKITCHEN.CMD chose option c then b. When Ervius build os +package tool opens,click the right tab and add rom(Add your kaiserkitchen folder,but make sure its on your desktop). You will then get a list of packages in the premade folder, just tick the ones you want to add to your rom. Once happy click build rom. Once done exit and KAISERKITCHEN.CMD should crack on by itself....then bring up a couple more apps(Rom Tool and Pagepool)just do what they say . every time you exit these apps KAISERKITCHEN.CMD will take you to the next step.

speaking of the htc rom tool, does anyone have a mirror for the latest version (1.1.1). it's not working on his site, and I 'm really interested in the command line support

Theres a new ROM tool????Anyone tried??

NEW IS GOOD!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] HEdwards2008:
Thank you so much for the clarification. I've also been trying to find a decent kitchen setup and the one made by Alex is the best one I've encountered so far but haven't really steered too far from his build. I have to agree that a new version of the HTC Rom Tool would be cool.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gguruusa:
I just put up a Kaiser 20270 kitchen from PPCKitchen.org and AstainHellbring. Try it, let me know what you think. Feedback thread is here.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] HEdwards2008:
So if I'm understanding this correctly....in order to achieve a completely clean ROM without all the extra fixings I would simply need to use the os.nb file and not the os-new.nb file when cooking correct?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gguruusa:
No, the only way to get a completely clean base is to use one someone made, or to manually remove extra oems from an uncorrupted rom (which usually means stock). os.nb is the donor imgfs, os-new.nb is the donor imgfs with your added pkgs.

The PPCkitchen.org kaiser kitchen is clean, and is way simpler to use. If you're trying to get to a clean base, do yourself a favor and just use it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] maximumbs:
so... does this mean that if I use for say OEM HTC ROM, and put the os.nb in the base folder, when I build it using the tool, whatever packages I selected are simply added to whatever is on the OS.NB? I thought it would use the baserom as base and whatever apps installed on it are ignored. I guess I totally got it wrong then... So how do you strip out all the programs that have been installed in the baserom? Does this mean you have to dump the image?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] HEdwards2008:
I do know that in order to get the base OEM packages out of the main build you have to go through and remove and edit certain files to get it done right, which there is information in the Wiki about but haven't really had time to focus on it much. As for the PPCKitchen.org version of the Kitchen, I'm going to try it when I get home tonight because I'm at work currently. Gguruusa, you have to understand that some of us are new to the cooking community and want to be able to get our feet wet slowly and make sure we do stuff right instead of damaging our device. I've only got one Tilt and I don't want to completely destroy it. I would love to cook but need to be able to start off with a simple clean base rom with no extra ingredients and then go from there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] yardie.spike:
No dont put os.nb in the base rom put the RUU_unsigned and extract using KAISERKITCHEN.cmd.....read my previous posts.

This looks very promising, downloading it now. Thanks for this! Hope they update it 20273 soon :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gguruusa:
That's why ppckitchen.org was born. With ppckitchen.org, it's a point and click thing to build a rom. The mysterious part (making a kitchen base) is done for you. All you have to focus on is what packages you want to add.

You still have to unlock your device and install radios outside the kitchen, which is where people generaly brick their devices.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] HEdwards2008:
I shouldn't have any problems then seeing as to how I know that you need to have HardSPL installed and also to be sure to flash the radio AFTER the ROM in order to prevent bricking. :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ryncppr:
But that takes the whole fun out of cooking a rom when the base is already made for you...!!!

I will have to say my most challenging part is trying to get the base rom the way I like it in order to add whatever I want.

For example....

In my current kitchen I have deleted all of the OEMAPPS folders except the dsm file. I have then rebuilt all of my programs like the way a Diamond and Raphael ROM is....

In essence, If I was to just build my ROM without any packages it would be a clean rom without any software like camera, mms, phoneskins ect....

Its taken awhile thats why I have not published my newest rom yet...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] yardie.spike:
I totally agree my favourite build was one that went wrong and nearly bricked my phone....sounds sick, but it was going back over what i had done and fixing that was the fun part. That ROM turned out to be possibly my most stable (Yardie 2.1.240) Ha ha i love cooking!!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gguruusa:
Bah. The fun of cooking is getting a ROM to look and feel like you want. Making a kitchen is entertaining when you haven't done it before, but it's really 99% repetition and 1% art.
