Hi again

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE! (if you do it right I doubt you will but just in case) BACK UP YOUR STUFF JUST IN CASE BEFORE YOU DO THIS AS YOU WILL WIPE YOUR USERDATA!

We now have access to RETUS Android 11!

Download this (retus android 11 firmware)

unzip all files to one folder somewhere

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp dspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot reboot fastboot

(reboots into fastbootd)

if you have twrp installed you should enter fastbootd and first things first flash stock recovery and reboot to it to continue flashing fastbootd commands doing something like this:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot fastboot

YOU SHOULD BE IN FASTBOOTD TO FLASH THE STUFF IN THIS NEXT SECTION

fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash super super.img_sparsechunk.9

fastboot reboot bootloader

YOU SHOULD NOW BE BACK IN BOOTLOADER TO ISSUE THESE NEXT COMMANDS

fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase metadata
fastboot erase ddr

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

fastboot reboot

And then use TWRP or magisk boot patching to root your device and enjoy Android 11! :)
[Moto G Power (2021)] NinjaPerv:
You forgot to include the bootloader in your flashing instructions. I couldn't get this to boot, finally realizing that I forgot to flash the bootloader as I was just following your list. Boots now though and I am using the retus.
[Moto G Power (2021)] whoshotjr2006:
I didn't flash bootloader on mine and it booted just fine. I didn't want to take more risk than I already did flashing bootloader and having something go sideways or permanently changed. I deliberately left it out of the flashing instructions but if it worked for you that's good.

I feel like my Bluetooth audio might not be going so hot after this, maybe just my radio in the truck though. Any Bluetooth problems for you yet?

Thanks for your feedback though and a good reference for anyone that needs it.

Did you try out my twrp build?
[Moto G Power (2021)] NinjaPerv:
Yes I did and so far so good. TOUCH WORKS!! Nicely done sir!
[Moto G Power (2021)] mindmajick:
Do you need to be unlocked for this to work?
[Moto G Power (2021)] thebestofall007:
I'm having an audio issue where when someone answers a call, I cannot hear the person on the other end, even after turning call volume all the way up. I never had this with android 10.

Maybe a bad setting perhaps, but I don't know what that setting is...

Has anyone had this happen with this retca build?
[Moto G Power (2021)] Onoitsu2:
knowing phones in general, but one-way audio is often caused by bad VoLTE on a network. View attachment 5454283

But beyond that you may have to re-flash your radio perhaps if it didn't do it right.
[Moto G Power (2021)] thebestofall007:
I think I had the one way audio problem after I restored my retca setup with twrp. Retca itself doesn't seem to have this problem after I do a fresh reflash of it to my phone. Retca also doesn't have that voLTE option you show in the screenshot.

This could be TWRP not restoring something, like the radio, properly.
[Moto G Power (2021)] 4xc7xy:
Edited again, removed the question I had since I found the answers after some research
[Moto G Power (2021)] 4xc7xy:
A little off topic but also related to this topic:

By any chance does anyone have the file for RETUS? I would like to revert back to RETUS just because with RECTA, while it works as it should when it comes to normal usage and such, it also makes some apps in my phone not be "compatible" with other apps just because the main apps (Netflix and Hulu for example) are a U.S thing. For some reason cannot be downloaded on RECTA via the Play Store. I could just download apks and call it a day but having the RETUS rom file would help just guarantee that I could download most apps I use without apk file installations. Dummy me backed up everything RETUS related for the bootloader, recovery, and so on but never backed up the rom itself or somehow lost 500 braincells and deleted the thing. (Pov: Don't be a idiot like me, always double and even take the further step of triple checking that you got everything backed up before flashing regardless of it were to work fine or not.)

I would appreciate it if someone could send me it if they have access to it.

Thanks in advanced!

[Moto G Power (2021)] Konner920:
can anyone grab the update they recently pushed to this firmware? I have it on my unlocked US power 2021 ill just sideload it in recovery

nvm it just released today for US
[Moto G Power (2021)] thebestofall007:
I keep getting "access denied" when I try to download this from moto updates tracker.
[Moto G Power (2021)] whoshotjr2006:
updated op to reflect retus a11 release
[Moto G Power (2021)] 4xc7xy:
Since i flashed the RECTA file when the steps where here awhile ago on my RETUS device, do I have to do all these steps to boot right back into RETUS or no?

Wondering because all I really did (anyone is free to call me an idiot lol) is just test if it booted, patched the img with magisk, tested it again to see if it would have root on it, and then flash it because it had the root lmao.
[Moto G Power (2021)] whoshotjr2006:
Your not an idiot bud, tinkering is a good thing. Everything is a good learning experience

You can stay with retca or flash over to retus, i figured since we actually have our own firmware files now its probably a good thing to be on retus firmware again. Whichever works for you.

Just make sure you back up all your stuff so you dont lose it, between all the crazy flashing stuff ive done tinkering with this device (rom builds and gsis) ive got my restore process down to about 30 mins now to get it back to how i like using it

If you stay on retca you may be able to use a magisk module to change your build.prop to have it think its on the retus version so you can download netflix and such from play store with no issues. I havent tried it but its worth a shot if you dont want to back up and restore again
[Moto G Power (2021)] Onoitsu2:
Totally agree with that view, cause I know I tested mine in exactly the same way, it boots, cool. I flashed stock recovery, booted into it, to make sure I had 100% recovery potential, then flashed the test recovery, and went from there. That's 100% how we have to muddle through learning and risking things on devices.

I think my process is down to like 10-mins because I can just restore data partition from a backup. But also have the migrate-ng app backup as well I can utilize too as a "live" backup too (https://xdaforums.com/t/app-root-5-0-1st-nov-2020-migrate-custom-rom-migration-tool.3862763/).

And yes for this Magisk module, you want to use MagiskHide Props Config, or similar modules for that exact task, then hop into terminal to set it up once installed, and it's easy to alter many things. That's how I forced mine to be landscape as the "watch" it is, among other system tweaks.
[Moto G Power (2021)] 4xc7xy:
I installed the magiskHide props config and a terminal to edit it from my phone, all I have to do to trick my device into being a RETUS is editing the fingerprints, etc. I also took screenshots from a build.prop editor app to question if they're the ones I got to edit to RETUS id's, I'll attach them with this. Sorry for asking so many questions, I'm just still new at tinkering with android phones and such still.

[Moto G Power (2021)] mindmajick:
Is there any way to use this zip to update a stock system without twrp? Thank you for any response.
[Moto G Power (2021)] Onoitsu2:
That is rather impossible, but this zip also is not flashable via twrp, so you may want to hold off on doing anything to your device until you research the process properly.
[Moto G Power (2021)] mindmajick:
Absolutely. Which is why I asked the question. I'm not new to rooting or modding, but currently have no interest in doing so. Was just looking for ways to update without changing the bootloader or anything like that. I remember back in the day I could just rename a Motorola update to update.zip and side load it that way. Sorry just seems hard to get any info from xda these days.. one of the reasons I stopped doing Android dev. Thanks again.

Edit: I see now. Reading the op made it sound like you needed twrp to flash back recovery.. but I see that stock, of course, doesn't require it.

Still no answer to my original question.. just trolls I guess 🤷‍♂️
[Moto G Power (2021)] mario0318:
If you're referring to the question of whether you need to be unlocked (OEM bootloader I presume) for flashing software that is not stock as performed thru fastboot? Yes. Bootloader must be unlocked.

For recovery of the device with its designated stock image thru the Rescue and Smart Assistant tool? No. Unlocking is not required.
[Moto G Power (2021)] mindmajick:
Isn't the update stock? I was trying to use the update as intended on a non rooted system. I appreciate the answer to my original ignored question though 👍
[Moto G Power (2021)] mario0318:
That depends. If the update is of the same region as the device's stock software and the Android security patch version is the same or newer, then it should update without issue.

If the update is of another region or variant, and/or the android security patch in the image is older than the one installed on the device, LMSA recovery will not succeed leaving you with the only other option of unlocking the bootloader so you can manually flash compatible software channels or switch regions. From what I've read by others, i havent tried it for myself, regardless of which method you use, the android security patch must be equal to or newer than what is currently on your device. Otherwise you'll have issues flashing images or problems with booting up, etc.
[Moto G Power (2021)] jova33:
forgive my ignorance, but why is wiping user data required?

edit: did not wipe userdata, works fine.
[Moto G Power (2021)] JIN_RUI:
hello, can I flash it on my boost mobil variant? tks
[Moto G Power (2021)] JLamp:
How does updating using this process differ from installing the full update zip via the Rescue & Smart Utility or I guess more specifically what is the advantage of doing it this way instead of via the R & S U? Presumably the phone needs to be unrooted prior to doing either since you mention rerooting at the end of the instructions and it appears both will require restoring the app data from backups. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I just feel like I'm missing something and didn't find any clarification in the previous posts on the thread.
[Moto G Power (2021)] jova33:
I can keep user data using this method. have not tried the RSU method

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Dapherino:
I accidentally disconnected my OnePlus 8 Pro while running the MSM Tool to restore back to oxygenos from lineage. Now it is stuck in a loop where it says:

<Error!>
Upgrade download failed!

This is caused by download interruption. Recommend you use download tool try again.

You need to confirm if there is failure message on download tool or not when you see this error.
also please check if you disconnect usb or click stop button when the download is not finished yet.
You can press any key exit this message

I can boot into fastboot from this state, but I am unable to flash a recovery or use a fastboot rom.

The recovery just doesn't work when I try to boot into it, and the fastboot rom gets stuck at

"Flashing is not allowed for critical partitions"

and when I try running

fastboot flashing unlock_critical

it says something along the lines of 'device already unlocked'

I cannot boot into EDL mode either, and trying to do so doesn't work.

I feel as if I am out of options, and am very worried about my phone.

Please help!!!
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Dapherino:
I was able to successfully follow all the steps for a fastboot rom, but it still didn't work. This was through using fastboot boot on the lineageos recovery.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] xtcislove:
Use MSM Tool. Hold all buttons very until your device appears in msm tool. YOu can start before you connect it and it should work.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Dapherino:
Thanks. I've tried this already. It doesn't boot into EDL. It just displays the first error message or boots into fastboot. Even if I use 'fastboot boot twrp...' and click 'reboot to edl' it doesn't work.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] xtcislove:
Try to press start while the device is connected and then restart it. MSM tools trys to hook in first.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jamescable:
Turn phone completely off. On msm tool, hit start so its waiting for device. Hold down ONLY the volume up and volume down buttons, plug in USB cable and you're good to go
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Dapherino:
Thank you for the advice. I've tried this and it doesn't do anything, since I can't get to EDL mode.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Dapherino:
Thanks, I've tried this as well. It didn't work, since I cannot enter EDL mode.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jamescable:
Your phone is in EDL mode when its powered off and holding ONLY both volume bottons
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Dapherino:
I understand that. When I do so, it just boots into fastboot. And when I tried to enter EDL through using 'fastboot boot' with a custom recovery, it did the same thing. Now I can't even use 'fastboot boot' anymore for some reason though.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jamescable:
So you tried fastboot boot recovery?

Fastboot boot will never work to boot edl
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Dapherino:
Yes. Even from a temporary custom recovery, I cannot enter edl from there.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jamescable:
Do this. Install a custom ROM using fastboot
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jamescable:
Download any ROM you want. Extract the payload and put it in the payload input folder.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Dapherino:
I've tried this with 4 different roms [stock oneplus one, lineageos, pixel experience, and evolutionx]. Even though they flash successfully, I still encounter the exact same error when trying to boot into it, and I still cannot enter recovery or EDL.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] xtcislove:
This wont work and idk why. If i try a custom rom i always have to use msm tool to go back to oos.

I flash every partition with fastboot but i end in a boot loop if i where on a custom rom before.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] jamescable:
Yeah, you need to wipe internal storage. In fastboot you can type

fastboot format userdata

fastboot format cache

Also, you can type

Fastboot -w
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] wgs1028:
This happened to me. I tried downloading Qualcomm drivers and reinstalling them and moved my platform tools to root of C:\, among other things. I was using OEM red cable and had been having to flip it a certain way to get WARP charge, so in desperation, I switched to a non-OEM cable, C to C, and that got me back in EDL. Good luck.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] mystvearn:
Hi,

The U11 is ok but the battery life is not that great. I'm thinking of repurposing it into a TV launcher. Does anyone know a good app which can replicate android TV box or smart TV interface. I want to be able to use the remote to control the phone. Youtube/Netflix has to be a format suitable for TV rather than phone.

I also noticed that when I use the phone to the TV, the phone's screen is just enlarged on the screen itself. It does not look anything like an android TV box. The youtube app is just a big app on the screen. Not from a smart TV. Netflix does not rotate into portrait mode. Any ideas?

Any recommendations on what app I need to install? what remote to use? To make the phone an android tv box

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] beast0898:
try to move your USB connector on the Uni.

It sounds as though the port is damaged, if you move it slightly it may connect.

However if the port is damaged, I strongly suggest repairing it before trying to flash another rom. Replacement ports are not expensive and to replace the connector is an easy job.

btw its charging normaly from the charger
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] beast0898:
Charging does not necesairly mean the data pins are aligned correctly.

The other option available is to enter bootloader mode, then plug the device in to the pc and see if the bootloader changes from saying serial to usb.

[General Questions and Answers] miquatro:
Just want to know, when selecting a custom kernel, do I have to check if the custom ROM supports the kernel or if the phone model supports the kernel or if I have to check for both.

I dont know if this is a dumb question or not..but pls help..am noob :)
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
A phone's kernel - what is the go between of phone's ROM and phone's hardware - is a Linux port, a phone's ROM is Android OS customized by manufacturer.

The kernel provides the basic drivers what are used to communicate to phone's hardware. The ROM is basically an interpreter between the Android ( user ) and the kernel.

So the ROM must match kernel.
