[Moto G Play (2021)] Agent_Orange1488:
hey i just came up on one of these today, nice phone considering... Any luck with trying to find a custom recovery? I have been looking as well but development seems pretty sparse right now. I am in the same boat as you, unlocked bootloader, locked everything else lol. I cant even find a way to root it without TWRP! I am curious if one of the other moto G series phones would have the same TWRP? Also check this out. It sounds legit but IDK...https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-motorola-g-pure-xt2163/
[Moto G Play (2021)] BrittonCBurton:
Well I was able to use Magisk to "root" it with the patched boot file trick, but still that's not the same thing as I did before with a Samsung phone and the CWM recovery deal. That gave the user all the control they wanted. Even though the phone claims I have root access, I'm not sure what to do with Magisk's root trick. I still don't see a way to backup or install a different operating system or just a blank Android 11 OS. My knowledge there is limited and there isn't a custom recovery for this model as far as I can tell.

So I still can't wipe the drive or remove the OEM partition that contains the installers for the bundled stuff. I'd still need some form of interface that has more features than the stock Fastboot and Bootloader modes offer I guess, or I just don't know how to use the software tools correctly. It's still locked even with root as far as I can tell but if there is something more I'm missing or an additional app to install for example, like SU. Is that still a thing? If I'm on the right track let me know.
[Moto G Play (2021)] Agent_Orange1488:
Thanks for the reply!!! I am speaking from a place of semi-ignorance here but I would thing that you could install SuperSU from inside the system, right? As long as the root binary is there...idk though and from what I hear, chainfire is not responsible for SuperSU anymore so it has become somewhat sketchy. I saw a post (about this phone, I think) that mentioned having to install terminal emulator and running root command from there to achieve legit root after flashing the patched boot.img. I will see if I can find the post again and update you. Is there anyway you could post the boot.img? Or give me a link for it?
[Moto G Play (2021)] BrittonCBurton:
Well I can try and learn how to extract the phones information to my computer. I don't know how to do that exactly. The way I was able to get a hold of the phones stock firmware data was by using Lenovo's Smart Rescue and Recovery software.

You have to enable usb debugging mode, attach the phone to the computer with the software running and make sure that you didn't disable/delete Device Help. That app is what makes the Lenovo software work, otherwise the Recovery software fails to see the phone. If it sees the phone correctly then you can see the preselected target firmware it wants you to download under the Rescue tab along the top.

So I did that and grabbed the files it created without actually applying them to the device. The whole thing is a little over 2GB and difficult to host but I put the stock boot.img file here for anyone who needs it. If anyone wants all the files I can try to upload the whole thing one file at at time. That's the way it was sent to me, an uncompressed folder. If I zip it all up and try to upload it most sites will say file size exceeded. Anyway here's the link...

[Moto G Play (2021)] Agent_Orange1488:
Thanks I was able to patch it with Magisk and achieve root. It looks like Magisk is an SU manager anyway. I have never used it before so this is a first for me. The root and bootloader unlock seem a little pointless without any recovery or ROM though....I guess it's time to learn how to compile one lol
[Moto G Play (2021)] Gamekeeper408:
I just picked up the Moto G Pure (XT2163-4) Android 11 aka Red Velvet Cake *sounds yummy lol*....I've been searching around and not seen any info about any rooting method for this device....besides the "Root All Motorola Phones" crap...and I don't feel like risking making a paper weight with it. Even on here it doesn't show up in the...add device list....was going to add to my profile...but can't.
[Moto G Play (2021)] BrittonCBurton:
Yeah now we're on the same page then. I thought the same thing, not much use to have an unlocked boot loader and root access without software to make use of it. I gave the phone to my nieces to play with for now, but it's with in arms reach if I need it for instructions yet to be defined. I should receive updates to this post if anyone else responds.
[Moto G Play (2021)] BrittonCBurton:
Yeah appears it was produced in late 2021 or sold at that time so it's new and no one has made any custom firmware's or recoveries for it as far as I know. I don't know how to do that, requires computer programming skills. I don't have any of those.
[Moto G Play (2021)] Agent_Orange1488:
I feel your pain! Had mine a few days and of course came to XDA immediately to find the DL on this joint but no luck...🙄 Ya I definitely don't recommend one click root method for this. If you want, I can post/link the patched boot.img i made with magisk. Mine boots with it and have confirmed root.
[Moto G Play (2021)] Agent_Orange1488:
Excellent, it's nice to be caught up with everyone else haha!! I am going to do some digging and posting and whatnot to try to find some info on porting a recovery for this model. I feel like it can't be too different from at least one or two of the other G series phones. I will see updates as well so please post if you come up with anything!!

BTW does anyone know the process of creating a device page for this joint?! I think this phone is definitely worth some development...🤔
[Moto G Play (2021)] BrittonCBurton:
Good luck finding anything that will load onto the phone. Seems like it would be possible to install LineageOS on it if nothing else. You'd think by now installing a phone's operating system would be similar to how operating systems are installed on other computers. All I get is invalid signature, way to much security (for them) on phone OS'es. With phones and PDA's apparently you can't just find the OS you want to use and install it. Where's the generic and bloat free Andriod 11 stock OS/firmware at? No such thing? It's either "Gaggles" way or nothing apparently. (It's ok if you don't know either, maybe someone else has more information about that.)
[Moto G Play (2021)] Agent_Orange1488:
Ya I'm definitely not going to try anything on the actual device, (ESPECIALLY if I am trying to put it together myself) but I am pretty sure you can test that stuff on a virtual system. Some kind of android emulator or whatever. As for a stock/debloated/de-odexed ROM, I haven't seen one but that couldn't be all that difficult to put together, right? I mean as long as the patched boot.img is included anyway. I feel like a recovery would be a higher priority though...? BTW, I have never used Lineage before, how is it?
[Moto G Play (2021)] Gamekeeper408:
That would be great if you could share that patched boot.img......it is for the XT2163-4 MOTO G PURE correct?
[Moto G Play (2021)] SkatePro:
I would also like the patched boot.img if it is for the XT2163-4. Thanks :)
[Moto G Play (2021)] Agent_Orange1488:
Hey boys I actually got rid of the moto g pure...for now at least lol! GREAT phone and I would be willing to get it back once there is some dev work done on it...will definitely be watching the threads on it. Good luck boys!!!
[Moto G Play (2021)] SamuelAt:
Hi

I read the above posts, and it seems like even if I am able to root it using Magisk, I won't be able to flash it with custom rom?

Thank you Agent_Orange1488 for the posts.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] tiuro:
I'm looking for a solution for my problem. Maybe someone here might have the same.

I'm using audio USB DAC/AMP Ibasso DC03 dongle. Initially DAC works just fine until I have battery above 75%, but below 76% cut out entirely (led on DAC turns off).

It works again if I unplug it and then plug it back in, but will cut out after only a few seconds.

If I recharge the OP8T battery everything works fine again.

It disconnects only below 76% of battery charge.

Ibasso is working without any problems on other phone in the house (including sons Oneplus 6) on any battery level.

I'm on offical OxygenOS Stable, rooted.

I have it this Ibasso DAC since march, and it starts to keep disconnecting about 2 months ago....
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] Rootk1t:
It seems, that if you installed firmware updates, it may be the cause of issues.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] tiuro:
If you meant ibasso firmware that is not the case. I tried other cheap dongle and I know now that

any

dongle cuts off at battery level below 76%.

EDIT: I just want to let to you know it's fixed. it was caused by app ACC - Advanced Charging Controller / Magisk module.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lutz123:
I purchased an SGH-i337 motherboard from Ali Express. However it is booting into an AT@T stock i9500 ROM with Android 4.2.2 on it. I tried to flash it using Odin 3.09 with the corresponding SGH i337M stock ROM of the 5.0.1 Android but getting <ID:0/013> FAIL! (Auth) message. Also in download mode on the top left on the screen it shows one grayed out line saying "write protection enabled". So, I assume its the write protection giving me this problem. Perhaps someone has an idea how to enable writing to the device?

Thanks in advance

Lutz
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
AT&T never sold the I9500. If the motherboard is an AT&T model - a quick trip into download mode will confirm that - then your best option is to get your money back. AT&T locks the bootloader, meaning you cannot change the ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lutz123:
Thank you. Well I got this main board for cheap and for the purpose of playing around, experimenting with rooting etc. What struck me was that the board is an i337 (which also is confirmed when going in download mode) but contains a well running i9500 firmware. I wonder if someone ever here has come across such oddity. Perhaps it is a chinese trick to re-sell old main boards, who knows... So, what you are saying is that it is bricked already and there is no way to ever download a different OS? Also of the bat, my Canadian SIM card will not work - which points clearly to a locked ATT firmware. I heard about a possible way with enabling debug mode to turn off the write lock, not sure though if that is applicable here...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Frequently. Resellers would buy the boards from phones with bad IMEIs in the US and, using hardware that worked with contact points on the board, rewrite the firmware without touching the bootloader and change the IMEI as well.

We usually tell people who get such a motherboard to get their money back. Now...if you want a North American motherboard that can be modded, you want a SGH-I337M or a SGH-M919 board as both of them have LTE that works in the US and have unlocked bootloaders.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lutz123:
Thank you again. I think I have learned something... So, the resellers just rig the board by somehow enabling to write firmware to the NAND flash bypassing the boot loader? I thought the IMEI is absolutely untouchable, but as you say apparently not so if you know the exact location in memory and know how to override perhaps? Darn, I thought I could practice with this board a bit until using my "good phone" for going to LineageOS. Well I will leave a rant on this seller at least.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Essentially yes. It used to be that changing the IMEI wasn't necessary, but if I recall correctly IMEI blacklists are now global in scope, so a phone IMEI that is blocked in one country would be blocked in others.

On Android 4.2.2 the IMEI was stored in a directory in the device internal storage and could be easily lost. Around Android 4.3 or 4.4.4 that file was moved into a portion of the device storage that normally is not user-accessible.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lutz123:
I have been trying to root this thing using jortex method with the exploits. This failed as literally every memory address this program tried to access was readonly. I am just running this board on a display and the USB connection, which should not be the problem.

Also curiously, on this board I can't get any SIM card to give me access to a network operator. Searching for operators fails with a brief error message. Otherwise it seems okay reading my phone number and showing it. There is no apparent network lock present. So, this piece of hardware really puzzeles me. It seems bricked if I can't even use my SIM card, let alone the write protection to everything. I already complained, but what can you do with these AliExpress Chinese dealers. He tried to explain to me how I can lock a SD card - totally off, - or avoiding the topic.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Unless things have changed, you have to use Safestrap recovery on an AT&T board to be able to do anything with it, including root it. With Safestrap you can install a second copy of the firmware on the internal storage and root it. You'll need to search the AT&T S4 forum for more information.
[General Questions and Answers] crazy_penguin:
I'm kind of a noob on these apps but it seems that there are 3 "hidden" Facebook apps that sometimes I see running when I check my battery usage (Facebook app Manager, Installer and Services). I was wondering if it's safe to remove them or if it will have some impact on the functionality of Facebook.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
You can't send or reply to FB messages unless that crapware is loaded on the device I believe.

So if you want to use those features...

FB is malware. Personally I ditched it years ago as it can't be safely used. It is known a purveyor of disinformation and data miner extreme.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
AFAIK Facebook uses Facebook app manager and Facebook app installer to update their software and bypassing the Google Play app store.
[General Questions and Answers] crazy_penguin:
So i should not disable any of them?

[General Questions and Answers] nightshade_mirabeau:
So, trying to show art to some others over the internet (Discord), I've noticed that Windows 10 and 11 on the AX200 WiFi6 chipset no longer allow protected content, causing only my Tab S7 background to show in the Connect app. Does anyone have an idea? Drivers are up-to-date and the RX570 has the Latest Recommended installed (was Optional until this morning). Firewall matches exactly as what the Microsoft Answers site answers had mentioned, though no avail. Is it that the AX200 line, albeit still new, already discontinued it's HDCP support, or does it need to be set to WiFi 1 (.11b) for this to work correctly?
[General Questions and Answers] bluefish196:
My Samsung Note 20U and later my S22U wont allow content to be captured by capture cards over HDMI, seems all is locked under HDCP encryption by Samsung. Also now you can only cast with Google Home.
[General Questions and Answers] nightshade_mirabeau:
Samsung Smart View seems to work, though i don't have a capture card to see what is going on. one thing is, is the capture card HDCP 1.4 certified? That seemed to be my problem but over WiFi Direct before i found out that Windows didn't support receiving HDCP 1.4 content over WiFi Direct until February.
[Android Auto General] herpi:
This is weard, and I had it before, but was solved. God knows what I did.

Now the situation:

Android auto is wirelessly connected and shows the icon on my Fiat 500e uconnect screen, on the left side.

My phone btw says e.g "you cannot open google maps on phone while it is connected".

When I start e.g. TuneIn or podcasts on the phone it plays via the car.

BUT the screen stays completely black, no buttons.. nothing. Even when I click on the Android symbol on the left.

So: AA is 100% connected to uconnect but the screen doesn't show anything.

But uconnect works normal and every screen works. Ut whe i click on the android icon on the left it switches but the screen on the left of the icons turns black

Any help?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] minun:
I've recently upgraded to the Google Pixel 6 Pro after 8 years with the Google Nexus 5, so, this would be my first time with a "modern" smartphone as of present

Everything is wonderful except one thing, the battery life

When idling (I do not touch the phone at all, rarely or no lock/unlock) I watched my Pixel 6 Pro drained 6% in the span of 2 hours, so roughly 3% per hour (That is a lot!), compared to my Nexus 5 which feels like it drained 5% if left alone for the whole day

What is going on? is it a "modern" phone thing? is it my phone? my settings? at this rate, it needs to be charged daily

Here is the Battery Usage breakdown;

Battery Usage breakdown while asleep;

Why does "Mobile Network Standby", "Ambient Display", "Phone Idle" eat so much battery while idling, I am thinking of getting rid of "Your Phone Companion" even though I find it useful, conflicted if it is worth the battery, everything else looks good

EDIT: I am happy to say, after uninstalling "Your Phone Companion" the battery began to show improvement and following all the battery tips helped me maximize it, now I feel like I can go 3 days with the phone without charging it
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] TonikJDK:
In one of the battery threads Mobile Network Standby is a big topic. It appears to be a bug that is impacting some people. I would expect a fix from goggle for that. I have nothing on ambient display.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
It's highly possible your phone isn't ever going into a deep sleep, which can cause unnecessary battery drain from apps that are stuck running in the background, or causing the phone to "wake". Did you transfer over all your apps and settings from your old phone? Some have said this has caused unusual high battery drain, and a factory reset where you don't restore from backup has helped.

Install AccuBattery or GSam battery monitor to get an understanding of your battery usage in greater detail.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] minun:
Thank you for the lead on the bug, and I will look into AccuBattery

I did not transfer from my old phone, I configured/installed from out of the box
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
At most, you should only lose .5 - 7%hr when idle, not 3. Something is definitely going on in the background that needs to be addressed.

Here's how mine looks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
In addition to what everyone else said, many users have reported that it took several days or more for the phone to "settle down" and adaptive battery to make an impact, at which point their battery got much better. Also, I would expect a lot of bug fixes in the December update that may help.

Also using 4G instead of 5G (because of the modem previously mentioned may help, as well as turning off adaptive network connectivity, WiFi & Bluetooth scanning and anything AOD related or things such as lift to wake (if you don't use then).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] minun:
Thank you so much for this, it helps to compare
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] minun:
I had the phone since the 17th, I been configuring and setting it up for a week, I have only been using it normally for about half a week, which is why I am noticing the battery now

I believe I have LTE over 5G but could you run me through how to turn off 5G

Not sure about adaptive network connectivity or what it is

WiFi needs to be on

Bluetooth is always off

Would my location take a hit if I turn off scanning

Lift to wake is off
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
If you have LTE as preferred then you don't have to worry about turning off 5G. Preferred network type can be found in the Network & internet settings under your carrier settings.

Adaptive network connectivity is in the Network & internet settings at the very bottom.

I wasn't talking about turning WiFi & Bluetooth off, but rather turning off WiFi & Bluetooth scanning, which can be found in Settings>Location>Location Services. And no, your location would not take a hit.

Also remember that when comparing your idle drain to others that you don't necessarily have the same apps running in the background as they do, the same settings, same amount of notifications going off, etc. My personal opinion is that anything under 1%/hr is acceptable. I have seen a wide range of idle drain percentages among 6 Pro users. My current idle drain measured over 3 1/2 days is .78%/hr with deep sleep around 85%.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] minun:
I would also like to get to that level

the crazy thing is my phone barely has anything going on except for the system and your phone app

what would be used for my location if i turned off my wifi and bluetooth scanning at home, my data?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
When WiFi & Bluetooth scanning our on, your phone is constantly looking for Bluetooth devices near you that you may want to connect to or WiFi networks to connect to. It's really only useful if you're out and about and want to connect to such services. Turning it off doesn't disable your location. As long as your location setting is on, your phone will know where it is at.

Yeah, I would uninstall that Your Phone Companion app. It certainly is using a lot of battery in the background. But it's a trade off...if you really like it and find it useful than you may just have to take the battery hit (as with any app really).

Also, I notice the stock kernel has a couple of kernel wakelocks that are keeping the phone awake to a certain extent (at least for me). Using a custom kernel can help but that's a whole other conversation.

I really think after the December update and after more app developers have optimized their apps for Android 12 we will get a better idea of how the battery really is on this phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] minun:
Okay, sounds great

just for my knowledge, if I turn off scanning, would it not detect any new bluetooth device or wi-fi unless I turn it on? it will still connect to devices/signals it knows?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
If scanning is off it won't constantly try to see if their is a Bluetooth device or WiFi connection nearby, but yes it will still connect to the devices/networks it knows. And if you want to connect to a new device or network you can just go into that setting (Bluetooth or Network) and it will scan automatically once you open up that setting or choose to add a new device, etc.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
Go into settings > network and internet > sims > preferred network type.

If that option is missing, you can manually change it under phone settings by opening up the phone app, then punching in the following: *#*#4636#*#*. From the new screen that presents itself, select phone information. Then, you'll have an option to select your network type. Select LTE.

Adaptive connectivity can "help" extend battery life, according to Google by managing network connections,

Adaptive connectivity should keep you on 4G for low usage tasks... Reddit, chat, etc. When your phone demands more bandwidth, it switches to 5G (Netflix, streaming, etc.), but users have said if you're in an area with spotty 5G or none at all, switching to LTE only (given the instructions above) will help reduce battery drain.

Go into settings > network and internet > adaptive connectivity > off.
