In twrp, there's no option to wipe system. So in my case, I replaced twrp with stock recovery, then did a Factory Reset [Advanced > Reset options > Erase all data (factory reset)].

Before "tried flashing the image files" in fastbootd, did you "fastboot set_active a"?
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] lazzr:
I've tried the "fastboot set_active a" but it still doesn't work. I've factory reset through stock recovery too, and seem to have tried everything I can think of. I miss my old original Moto G which was easy to install on. I've been trying for weeks and keep running into the same issues. I'll keep trying over the next few days and report back if I solve it in case anyone else has the same problem.
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] tinbilly:
Mine is a XT2041-1. What I did:

1. flashed back to stock ROM 10_QPE30.69-16

2. rebooted the phone, then set it up (I did not upgrade to Android 11 as notified by the system)

3. wiped the phone using System > Advanced > Reset (just to be safe)

4. flashed to crDroid 7.4 (Android11-based)

You said you failed to load the custom ROM's system.img. What is the exact error message? Please attach some screenshots as well.
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] lazzr:
I thought I'd try some more possible ways to fix it before replying but I've just wasted another few hours to no avail. I have the flashable zips for OmniROM 11 and Lineage, but I can't even get TWRP to ask for a password anymore so all my files show up as gobbledegook. Not that I think they would work either because they haven't so far.

The one that I thought had been successful was installing Lineage images using fastbootd, but whenever I go to reboot I end up in bootloader. The bootloader log says "Reboot mode set to fastboot". I have no idea how to get out of that. Fastboot fb_mode_clear doesn't work.

I thought I would try to root the phone (I know people say you don't need to do that first but I'm sure in the past I have done) but I can't get Magisk to install.

I installed Lineage images again, and then after it rebooted into bootloader I installed TWRP and tried entering the dd commands on this page in the terminal (I didn't know how to do the backup in section 2 of the instructions):

https://xdaforums.com/t/troubleshoo...-ota-update-in-moto-g4-xt1621-athene.3714325/

All I got back was "no such file or directory".

The error message from installing images (the one below was CrDroid 7.4 but it happens with most of them) seems to be quite common from what I can tell from reading other people's posts. I have also I tried "sudo" before flashing the system image because I've seen that recommended, but it didn't work either:

writing 'system_a' 5/6 (usually 3/3 on other ROMs)...

FAILED (remote: Operation not permitted)

Wiping my data and formatting has caused me some issues too. I've done that many different things that I can't remember what exactly, but I do know that when I tried to install ZIP files using TWRP the Failed to mount '/system_root' error message came up a few times.

I've attached an images below to give an example of the types of other red screen messages I've had:

Forgive the long message. If any of this gives you any ideas or you've seen it before then please let me know. To be honest I just want a phone without all the google stuff on it and the amount of time I've spent on this I'm feeling like I should just get myself a different phone it would be easier to install on.

By the way, the image at the bottom there was the error message I got while trying to wipe in TWRP
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] lazzr:
A final attempt for now. I factory reset through fastbootd. Then "installed" Lineage image files. Rebooted and ended up in bootloader. Flashed TWRP, which this time could recognise my folders. ADB pushed Omnirom zip to my data folder. Tried a wipe, got lots of error messages, then tried installing the zip, and got the below:View attachment 5309925

This whole experience has been brutal.
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] tinbilly:
From my experience with TWRP on my XT2041-1, I won't go with TWRP to flash a custom ROM. So just forget TWRP for now.

One important question, I think: Can you flash and boot your device to stock Android 10? [Note: I find this is a reliable method to go back to stock ROM. Just make sure you get the correct one matching your device.]

If yes, let take it as a starting point. From there, I suggest you wipe the phone using System > Advanced > Reset then flash to a Custom ROM using fastbootd. Btw, which custom ROM you prefer and intend to flash on your phone?
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] tinbilly:
What did you do after factory reset? How did you install Lineage image files? Please briefly describe what you did step-by-step. Just briefly.
[Moto G Power Questions & Answers] lazzr:
I can boot to stock using the same list of commands in that link. Starting with fastboot getvar max-sparse-size. Then I set up my phone to enable USB debugging and "file transfer" under default USB configuration. Then "ADB reboot bootloader", and click to enter recovery. I get the "No command" screen so I hold the power button and press up. Then "enter fastboot" to enter fastbootd. I've followed the next few instructions exactly as everyone says. Set active a, flash boot then system etc, then erase userdata.

This time I enabled "PTP" instead of "File Transfer" under default USB configuration to see if it made any difference. It still won't load system and I get this message:

sending sparse 'system_a' 1/2 (720896 KB)...

OKAY [ 20.736s]

writing 'system_a' 1/2...

(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

FAILED (remote failure)

I don't understand how it helps to install stock ROM and then wipe the phone using System > Advanced > Reset. That just puts me back to the same place as after I installed stock and I have to go in Developer Options etc again.

I'll try any ROM. I'm trying CrDroid now but it doesn't work. Lineage is the only one that seems to install system but I can't reboot to system.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Deathecho:
The Mi 10T (Non Pro) in my country is 415$ and the Poco F3 450$

I think the performance is almost the same and I don't mind the LCD Panels (which will last longer I think) I was wondering about other aspects of the phone.

Quality, Rom support, Heating, Sounds, longevity, Build Material.. the things beyond the numbers. Could someone share their views on which is better and why?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] fastleo63:
Seems to me that F3 support will be very strong. After a few weeks we already have a Pixel Experience and a Lineage OS ROM, and an alpha TWRP.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Robert314:
I'm biased having owning a Poco F3. One of the best features is the AMOLED panel. It is so beautiful and I never want to go back to LCD after this. The other big feature is the amazing flagship level haptics. Overall smartphone performance is superb so I would recommend the F3. However, it comes down to your priorities. In terms of ROMs we're just getting started. Yesterday morning a private device tree went public and since then we've had LineageOS, Pixel Experience+ and TWRP unofficial releases. As a result I expect developer support on this device to be exceptional.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] flipp0:
I have had both Mi 10T Pro and Poco F3. Since 10T (non-pro) lacks OIS and has a smaller main camera sensor I would choose F3. The screen is so much better on F3 It also have a better in-hand feel due to the lighter and thinner design. Battery life is probably slightly better on 10T and heating may be less of an issue of that phone as well. Build quality and haptics are also better on 10T but still good enough on F3. The only reason I sold F3 and kept 10T Pro was for the great camera on 10T Pro.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] djuroue1:
Ips on X3 is fine but that pixel response time is to slow and causes ghosting wich on Oled is much better.Black levels are fine to on X3, yes you can see difference when you look side to side.I am talking about x3 because I have one and I think 10t has the same screen only oc at 144hz.They all have same screens.F3 is a perfect phone with good not great camera.

while Poco F3 5G cost $360

Poco F3 clearly wins 😌🙃

Mi10T is the better deivce
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] flipp0:
Did not have any problems at all. Loved F3 for normal use. I actually miss that phone. It feels so good in the hand and the screen and fluidity are great.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] flipp0:
Depends on what you value. Have you actually owned both decices or are you just guessing based on specs or reviews? As I already said. If you prefer a great screen and a phone that feels light in the hand. F3 is better. IMO the difference in screen quality is not small. The sceen on 10T / 10T Pro is good for an IPS but still have grey areas around the corners and the punch-hole typical for IPS-panels. The AMOLED-screen on F3 also feels more crisp and vibrant. If OP do not care about IPS vs AMOLED go for 10T.

On a side note. I assume that Mi 10T Pro and Mi 10T are the same phones besides the camera. I have only experience with 10T Pro not 10T. But anyway. Yes, haptics are good on F3 but even better on 10T Pro. Xiaomi is the new android king of haptics. Did not see that coming. Almost all new phones from Xiaomi have a great vibration motor. Was actually blown away by the haptics on 10T Pro. What is intresting is that haptics on Mi 11 is even better.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Deathecho:
Mi 10T 5G is cheaper than the Poco F3 in my country that's why I'm asking if the difference is worth.

Mi 10T 5G Costs 415$

Poco F3 Costs 446$

I only worry that the AMOLED doesn't last as long but I do prefer a lighter and a thinner phone. I think I mostly made my mind on the F3 .. just waiting for it to be released as it has been announced for a month now and still no release
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] flipp0:
Where do you live?

In Sweden Mi 10T Pro is super cheap second hand. I bought mine for €250 a couple of months ago. It was in perfect condition. Was able to sell it for the same price last week. Mobile phones operators have great offers on Xiaomi phones so many people buy them cheap when they subscribe to a new contract and then sell them second hand. I just subscribed for a contract so I can get Mi 11i for €500 including mi wireless earphones and mi band 6. However, it is only required to pay one month and then I can cancel the subscription. I go for Mi 11i since I liked the in-hand feel and screen on F3 but want a better camera. Is it only in Sweden one can take advantage of offers like this?

This build is quite old and so might have missing features. Personally I'd recommend going with PEX or crdroid. You can try my Havoc build without GAPPs (however it hasn't been tested very much yet): https://github.com/Robert3141/local_manifests/releases/tag/v1.0

hi Deathecho dont worry about amoled screen not lasting long. I have a galaxy s7 still works amoled is fine . I don't think anyone keep a phone for more then 3 years, let alone 5 years.

agree according to google amoled burn in issue take 6-8 years depending on usage to show up also i love amoled i always watch anime at night and true black color doesn't hurt my eye
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Nemix77:
I'd say Poco F3 and I'm not being bias because I ordered the Poco F3, I was in the exact same situation when I could not place an order for the Poco F3 last month.

Simply put, Poco F3 will get you a year more worth of updates than the Mi 10T.

That in itself is already worth the price difference, Mi 10T will only get Android 12 at best while the Poco F3 should receive Android 13 and a year more of MIUI software updates.

Other things to consider:

+ Poco F3 has a superior AMOLED display (I'm old school and prefer LCD's but I've changed my way of thinking).

+ Poco F3 has more network bands for Global version.

+ Poco F3 will have better community support (if custom roms is your thing).

+ Poco F3 will have longer software support for Android and MIUI updates.

+ Poco F3 has better speakers and higher touch sample rate.

- Poco F3 has weaker cameras.

+ Mi 10T has better camera setup.

+ Mi 10T has better build quality (should not matter too much if you have a case on both phones).

- Mi 10T has LCD screen (both good and bad but the AMOLED on the Poco F3 looks better and costs more).

- Mi 10T is heavy (20 grams heavier than Poco F3).
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] metalvibe:
Just my 2 cents, if you suffer from motion sickness. Just note that the Poco F3 is Amoled and also does not currently have PWM control, so you might get headaches if you're one of those people like me. If you are, then an LCD panel would be far better, however, there are some software like OLED Saver which help (only a tiny bit for me... still get headaches just not as much).
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Nemix77:
I grew up on CRT's so screen flickering is not something new and does not bother me, in fact I don't see it at all.

The reason why I prefer LCD's is because it's better for the eyes in the dark even though IPS panels have a glow to them.

VA panels would be my most preferred LCD panels but it does not make sense to put a VA panel on a mobile device because of the poor viewing angles.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Ryle333:
I had the Mi 10T before I got the Poco F3 and I never thought I'd miss the build quality a lot. Even though I always use a case, I really miss the metal feeling when I take my phone out of the case to clean it. Also, while the Mi 10T does have a superior camera (specially with Gcam), I think the F3 will catch up once more people figure out xml settings for Gcam. Lastly, the Mi 10T bored me because of the lack of custom roms.

One more thing to consider: while the F3's screen is awesome, mine is uneven on super low brightness with dark or gray items on screen. Not sure if this is just my phone but I do remember reading about this somewhere here in XDA.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Lordkazuma:
Sorry for out of topic: iam so worry about green tint on poco f3, are the green tint can be minimazed only by a software update?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Nemix77:
At this point it's probably better off waiting on the Mi 11T if a slight increase in cost over the Poco F3 is not an issue...

I have a feeling it's going to be very similar to the Black Shark 4 in terms of pricing and specs minus the gaming shoulder buttons, the shell and Joy UI.

Expected specs for Mi 11T:

- Snapdragon 870

- 144 Hz E4 Amoled

- Speakers tuned by JBL + Dolby Atmos

- 64MP + 13MP + 5MP Cameras

- Side Fingerprint Scanner

- NFC 3.0

- 720Hz Touch Sampling

- Same Cooling Tech as Black Shark 4

- 5000Mah Battery

- Android 11 + MIUI 12.5

Expected Specs for Mi 11T Pro:

- Snapdragon 888

- 144 Hz E4 Amoled

- Speakers tuned by JBL + Dolby Atmos

- 108MP + 13MP + 5MP Cameras (OIS)

- Side Fingerprint Scanner

- NFC 3.0

- 720Hz Touch Sampling

- Same Cooling Tech as Black Shark 4

is it posible to remove short cuts from internet place from lunching browser ?

i have this issue from cell company which its allready there and i want to remove it .. (( not the youtube tab.. )) the red Airtel Live tab .. also the browser set to be the first page to lunch is www.airtel.in .. and im very annoyed from it .. is there's a way to remove it ? or the abbility to chose which web page that i want to lunch once i press on lunch browser ???

thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] badrey:
any solution ??? :(:confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Maydon0z:
I need a tab removed too, it's so annoying to press everytime the wrong tab instead of youtube :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] logger:
Depending on how your ROM has been set up by your Telco... this should work. Go to your Main Memory then see if there is an "\Application Data\Manila" folder. If there is,...then the fix is simple.

Either rename the \Manila folder to something else, or go into that folder and rename or move the 2 files

InternetPortal.xml

InternetPortal-en-AU.xml (where -en-AU is your language /country).

If the ROM can't see these files you will get the default settings from "Windows\27c65cbd_manila".

Your Carriers "OperatorLinks" should now be gone from the Internet Tab. Not the shortcuts but the Operator links that look similar to the YouTube one.

If you do not have an "\Application Data\Manila" folder then the solution is slightly more complex as you will have to edit "Windows\27c65cbd_manila".

Try the above method first. If no luck report back and me or someone else can post the other more complex method.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Elvelynn:
The method is the same, you can find in both files the entry

<Operator Links>

...

</Operator Link>

Just remove them and all Links are Removed. Editing the 27c65cbd_manila is just a bit dangerous if you don't make a copy before you are editing it ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] logger:
Yeah but you can remove \Application Data\Manila files hocus pocus with no editing - that is why this method is better, if you simply want to remove branding as these guys do. The underlying 27c65cbd_manila version will keep the stock ROM settings.

One method is to delete a file that is superfluous - the other is to edit a file that Manila needs. So not the same.

Like you say the files are basically identical though, each with the setting coming as you say from the operator links area.

I guess you could say I described the Safe Simple dummies method that should work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Elvelynn:
I agree, but if you just remove the two xml-files, the youtube-link will still be there because it's also integrated in the manila-file.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] logger:
True but if you re-read what the guys were after.. they want to remove the links that look like the youtube link. Not the you tube link. So the simple method will do that.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] badrey:
i found the two files in manila internetPortal.xml & internetportal-en-gb.xml

but its protected and i cant delete them ... hidden and protected as system files read only

any way to remove them ??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Elvelynn:
You have to deactivate the TF3D before you can edit/delete them.

27c65cbd_manila editing help

@logger

I am on sprint and do not have the "\Application Data\Manila" folder so I have been playing with "Windows\27c65cbd_manila" to add a shortcut to Ticker Tape 0.5 by GeckoDev.

I have gotten the shortcut I wanted to appear on the internet screen (as shown in the screen shot below) but when I click the shortcut I get this error msg (as shown in the other screen shot below)

Anyone have any idea how to fix this error...I have been searching but with no luck - :confused:

I have tried placing the exe and all related files in the widows directory because that is where the You Tube files are located but it didn't work. I think this might have something to do with it but I can't figure out in the "\Windows\27c65cbd_manila" file the file path to the You Tube icon does not exist that I can find. It might be a hidden folder but I can't see it in Total Commander. It says it is located "\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\youtube.qtc". Also what is a .qtc file? My searching points me toward "Apple QuickTime Support file" but I have never heard of it as an icon file in WM.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :D
