Did you FLASH recovery.img, instead of BOOT recovery.img?

It's pretty hard to perma brick phones these days. You can probably reflash device with LMSA -

[Moto G Power (2021)] arkansawdave74:
Hello. I just got one of these on accident. Meant to get a G9 Power. Oh well. I will still love it. Having rooted countless phones and a great many Motos, I went to root mine without looking for instructions. I fastboot flashed the entire RETUS from lolinet, magisk patched and flashed the new kernel, and then booted to a phone without a working digitizer. Not only that, but when I flashed the original back on it, it didn't fix it. Still no digitizer. I then flashed the entire RETUS again, including the same kernel, and it fixed, but of course I had to set everything up again. I made a fastboot command list though, for flashing firmware from lolinet, if anyone could use it. It's on my computer though. I'll have to share it later. I just made this post to warn others of possible problems with a magisk-patched boot.img.

And also to thank @kbwojo . I've many times wished we could use twrp from a command line. Where did you learn that? Is there a manual?

Oh, BTW, the codename for xt2117-4 is borneo.
[Moto G Power (2021)] slickmojo:
I did try a few things that didn't work. What I ended up doing was just flash boot the original boot.img and that basically reset magisk
[Moto G Power (2021)] arkansawdave74:
Just giving an update and a thanks again to @kbwojo . I finally booted a patched kernel by patching a kernel extracted with twrp in the command line. All the kernels from lolinet caused me to lose touch support after patching, even if I was running the same version the kernel was from. But when I patched it after pulling the kernel with twrp, all is good. Whew. That was different.

Well i have done it. I have rooted my phone .

moto g power (2021)

model XT117-4

Android version 10

basebrand version : HA10_18.534.0273R BORNEO_NA_CUST

Kernel version 4.19.95-perf + #1 Wed Mar 31 12:08:54 CDT 2021

After extensive reading multiple threads i found one and followed the attemt using magisk and no twrp installed.

1st Magisk installed on phone

2nd Install magisk and then patch using the boot.img from a mirror site for Borneo

renamed the 2 magisk files accordingly to boot and recovery

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

restarted phone directly back into fastboot mode

selected recovery option and started the phone

Sucessful Root!!!!

Can anyone confirm this works?

Just bought a G Power 2021 after thinking it was supported for custom roms already. It should just be arriving today and if i can't unlock the bootloader and root it I'm going to be returning it and getting the 2020, which I'm already considering even if i can be rooted.

Thank you
[Moto G Power (2021)] Onoitsu2:
the 2021 can be rooted, that is what I use with root, and heavily modified UI. You can even change things so system is writable (but will need a computer with linux, or a VM to complete the process), after bootloader unlocked and rooted. But does not presently have any custom ROMs for the device, however some in this branch of the forums have cited they are working on one. If I had the time to, I'd tinker and try my hand at porting LineageOS, or similar fairly easy to port, since TWRP is mostly done or doable for 99% of these devices, there are some that still have touch issues, and that seems to be all digitizer and screen related like mentioned in this thread. As long as you restore yours from the Motorola software and grab your stock files, when they are restored, it has touch, you know you can always fix it back even if a test flash of TWRP has no touch. But then it is not that hard to build from those files the TWRP, even in Android Image Kitchen. I made mine have touch support the hackish way before the compiled way.

So it can absolutely be done, just play things smart with it is all keeping backups of vital files and so on so you have stock even with data loss as the worst that would happen from messing about.

Edit: You will need to keep the device online, wifi and cell data for at least a day if not two before bootloader unlock option in settings will usually permit being toggled on. I know in my experience I got mine on a Friday, and it was not till Sunday about mid-day that it popped, and I'd check it every few hours that I was awake otherwise in that time.
[Moto G Power (2021)] MyNameIsEarlB:
Thank you very much!

I'm perfectly happy with needing to make my own custom ROM. I've never done it, but I've been wanting to for quite some time. At least a few years.

The last 2 android phones I've been using couldn't even be rooted. Long story short, i bought a redmi 5, got it all setup great, then moved and the only service around my new area is Verizon so i sold that, bought a note 5, couldn't root it, bought a pinephone which i do love, but the battery life is really bad. So I've been using my note 5 that's close to a decade old so I'm just looking for a phone with root and a good battery life.

Look forward to getting mine rooted!
[Moto G Power (2021)] SilentMadness:
Quick question, hopefully doesn't derail too much. Wondering if there is any work being done on the XT2165-5 model? Can't seem to find anything on it?
[Moto G Power (2021)] MyNameIsEarlB:
So I've tried various setups, I'm running Linux and they've all been the same.

i have successfully gotten the oem unlock toggle enabled, happened on the third day, however it probably would have happened earlier if i wouldn't have enabled airplane mode at night, adb and fastboot are working but the..

fastboot oem get_unlock_data

And

fastboot getvar cid

Do not work. However, the following command does.

fastboot getvar all shows a part that says there's no cid.

It said something along the lines of cid has slot and said no.

Anyways, I suspect that this is because I bought the phone from Amazon. So I've ordered another directly from motorola.com

I still have a couple weeks before I reach my time limit for a refund so I'm going to just send this one back and hopefully the one from Motorola works.

On a side note, I bought the blue one from Amazon and on the Motorola website there was only two colors, both were greyish.

I'm wondering which colors everyone's are here.

I suspect the none of the unlocked ones are blue. Just a thought
[Moto G Power (2021)] Onoitsu2:
Silverish/grey is mine from Xfinity mobile, that is a Verizon reseller basically.

I have the moto power 2021 (borneo) and haven't found any development threads pertaining to this device. I was hoping someone may have come across something I missed.
[Moto G Power (2021)] MyNameIsEarlB:
That's the one I just got directly from Motorola.

Any idea if the..

fastboot getvar cid command doesn't work unless the oem unlock option is enabled in developer options?

Only been a day but I tried running the command immediately, hoping it'd give me some output but still shows nothing.

I have a feeling that this one can't be rooted and I really hope I'm wrong.

Definitely don't want to buy a third one and return this one.
[Moto G Power (2021)] Onoitsu2:
Mine shows output when run in bootloader, but I have my recovery flashed with TWRP. But when flashed back with stock recovery, I get failed unknown variable when it shows fastbootd on the device's screen. have you tried in bootloader (i.e. 'fastboot reboot bootloader' from within fastboot itself) ?
[Moto G Power (2021)] MyNameIsEarlB:
Nope, haven't tried that.

Did... adb reboot fastboot and tried from there. I did boot to bootloader though once and whenever I plugged in the usb cable the screen would turn off and the screen would turn on for a split second when I hit the power button and turn right off.

Right when I unplugged usb, the screen would turn back on.

Not sure if that's because I was trying on Linux and no Motorola usb drivers, haven't tried using a Windows vm yet but I'll give it a go when I get home.
[Moto G Power (2021)] Onoitsu2:
I did mine in a Linux VM, didn't need any specialty drivers or anything on Linux to talk with Fastboot or Bootloader, but windows does I can assure you. Try checking your cable, or USB 2.0/3.0 port plugged into, found some 2.0 ports and USB-C and fastboot/bootloader, are not properly 2.0/3.0 compatible so can cause issues for some.
[Moto G Power (2021)] MyNameIsEarlB:
Yup, it worked when i didn't use my usb extension cord. Thanks!

All rooted now!

i was able to flash the magiskpatched.img to the phone and reboot, however, i lost the touchscreen support, anybody know how to fix this without having to start over?
[Moto G Power (2021)] sd_shadow:
Usually that means you used the wrong boot.img , either wrong build version or wrong channel version
[Moto G Power (2021)] jstanoob:
it was an older version of the original firmware. i literally have to wait till i find the updated version somewhere in order to fix this? the funny thing is when i flashed the wrong partition it went into bootloop, and so i used the boot.img to reflash it and all was well, it wasnt until i used the magiskpatched.img that this started.
[Moto G Power (2021)] sd_shadow:
The boot.img just needs to match the other firmware, so if you flash the full firmware it should work.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Agrajag27:
I currently have a several HD Fire's (wiped and running Lineage) as panels around my house. The main one is a 10" panel and it works great. However, the 8" panels (2018 versions) that I have in my room and at my other entrances are all just terrible. They're too slow and the build is such that they can't be kept alive while the screen is off so whenever they do come on the data on them needs to be refreshed and that can often take 15 seconds just standing there waiting.

I'm wondering if my experience would be better going with the Sammy's. I don't believe they'd need to be wiped for starters. They also appear to have a better (faster) processor over the 1.3 Ghz dual core on the Fire's. I guess the main question is, could they be set to keep updating while the screen is off? You don't want the screen on as it will kill the unit life and in a bedroom it would be a total distraction -- even if the screen is just black. Otherwise every time it comes on ActionTiles (the software most everyone uses for smart panels) will show the time as of the last time it was on and data from then as well until it refreshes.

Thanks.

I solved this. Just posting here incase it might come in handy for someone. I tried flashing the factory image and everything but still faced same issue. So as a workaround, pair the watch first and then uninstall the apk for setup via adb. This will get rid of the setup page and you use the watch normally. I haven't tried install the factory image again to see if it fixed it perfectly but for now I'm just gonna use like this.

Hi everyone,

I am trying to unlock the bootloader of my Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 (X00TD) so I can then install TWRP and then LineageOS.

I followed all steps from the Wiki LineageOS, adb and fastboot work just fine (fyi my computer runs with Linux Manjaro).

The problem is happening when I try and execute the flash recovery command – I get an error message « flashing is not allowed in lock state ».

I think the Asus official unlocking app I used doesn’t work properly (ZB601KL_UnlockTool_9.2.0.0). When I agree to the terms and start the unlocking process, the app closes and nothing happens on my smartphone.

If anyone has an idea or knows another unlocking app or another process I should follow, I’d like to hear about it !
