hola el modo EDL es J y L de tu foto ya lo descubri lo que me pasa es que no se mantiene 5 segundo y se desconecta... espero les sirva y si les pasa lo mismo avisan
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] Renate:
The preceeding post seems to say that she found the J & L test points in the first photo to be the correct ones.

Shorting random things can cause resets. It's best to be sure what are actually EDL points.

I'd warn anybody to not indiscriminately short random points on your phone.

The EDL test point is a (fairly high impedance with a pull-down resistor) input so you don't have to short anything.

You can use a resistor that is of low enough value (maybe 1000 ohms) that it is as good as a short (as far as the correct input goes) to poke around with.

If you short a power supply with the 1000 ohm resistor it won't mind.

Also, one point should be 1.8V, the other should measure 0V.

What @TheShanMan says is a good idea. Use teensy tiny (30 AWG) wire to connect to test points.

Thick wire can rip up the little solder pads.

Also, if you do this often, you can run your teeny wires to a magnetic reed switch so that you can activate it with a magnet on the back cover.

(It doesn't do any harm when it's activated when your device is running normally.)
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] TheShanMan:
Awesome, @Vvanderfell ! Your procedure might explain why it didn't seem to show up in Windows for me. I'll have to give those steps a try sometime soon. Thanks for figuring this out and sharing all the details!

I'm having same problem on my moto g52, i didn't find any tool to flashing stock firmware

Please guide me what can i do or where is my device test poin
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] mickem:
tI'm trying to get into EDL for XT2043-4 hardbricked due a bad flashing tool.. actually... i tried solder J and L points with copper wire but nothing happens with/without battery / combination button when conecting cable but only get blinks when connect without battery but still dead. Does anybody found the right points for this device? Please?

Now i found the correct point... it's under the fingerprint sensor connector... i have no much knowledge about schematic diagrams as i guess; but i hope somebody could be so kind to give me some help using the images attached here.

NOTE: red rounded points are signed in schematic with PESD5V0S1BSF (Protection diode) component but my board doesn't have anything... just empty two soldering points.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] LarK-Kane:
Where on the board exactly?
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] LarK-Kane:
Nvm I see it, right under the plug for the fingerprint sensor. What points do you need to short exactly? It's a bit unclear if you need to short the two bigger points or the incredibly tiny little soldering points
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] rik-shaw:
@Vvanderfell or anyone else do you have an updated link for a good "blankflash"? The one referenced here isn't found....

In addition, for the XT2041-4 to clarify from the first photo the labeled points "J and L" are correct (from under the smaller battery ribbon, not the fatter ribbon to the left?) Because in the 2nd post the poster soldered between points G and H that had the red box around them in the 1st photo so it seems.....
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] Vvanderfell:
Bear with me as it's been a long time since I had the misfortune of working on one of these phones, but yes, it was the J and L points labeled in that photo that worked for me. The ones they have with a red box around it did not work for me. I'll attach the only useful pictures I managed to take/edit when I was trying to figure out the EDL points. You'll see in the actual photo I took that I have two separate wires, each soldered to one of the points. I twisted each wire together so I could jump those points while the battery was plugged in.

And I'm sorry to say, but I dug and dug and dug through my old files and couldn't find the blankflash I used. I did, however, end up finding what I think is the thread that I got the original blankflash link from. This thread here: https://xdaforums.com/t/blankflash-g8-power-request-solicitud-blankflash-g8-power.4431193/

In that thread, there is another drive link to a different(?) blankflash file, here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GsU4U8yqwkYScohWSBVzUteyhkr4qGeR/view

It would be worth a shot if you have no other options. I can't make any promises since I forgot 95% of what it took to get my phone back up and running. The best I can do is wish you luck.

Any update for the XT2043-4? I have not found anything regarding the XT2043-4 on the whole web
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] Jesus Coder:
@Vvanderfell I too have the XT2041-4 variant of the Moto G Power, but I cannot for the life of me get this to work using the points you specified. When following your instructions, the most my phone does is flashes a white led every second or so from the point it is plugged in, to the point it is unplugged. Nothing shows up on my PC at all. I do notice that the led only blinks once when the points are not bridged and the battery is unplugged, but then blinks when the points are bridged again. I have attempted this quite a few times, but it is possible that I am doing something incorrectly. Might you have any tips on how I can get this to work? Stupidly, I bricked the phone by installing a beta-like update to a rom through recovery, which may have been written or flashed incorrectly.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] Renate:
Very late response to this...

Those (as clearly labelled) are just the CC lines from the USB Type C connector.

Those protection diodes in the schematic are crossed out, so they never made them to production.

Those lines are not related to the GPIO input for USB_BOOT (EDL test ponts).

That being said, any OEM can use any random thing to be detected to go to EDL.

The most common one is the USB 2 D+ being grounded on reset ("EDL cable").

But the only thing that will work with any corrupted software is the real EDL test points.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] Jesus Coder:
So, I figured out that I had forgotten to screw in a set screw on the motherboard, which prevented the power and volume keys from working. After solving this, I found that when I complete the steps shown above, the phone's indicator led changes from flashing repetitively every second to flashing 6 times, stopping for a few seconds, and looping. Still have nothing showing up in Device Manager nor the blank-flash utility. @Renate do you have any idea whether using an EDL cable as you mentioned above would work in this scenario, or if the led flashes I receive indicate anything specific? I have attached a video below of this.

View attachment 6110462
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] Renate:
6 flashes indicates something specific, but only Motorola knows what.

This whole thread is crazy.

We've got two camps indicating different points for EDL and another camp indicating a part of a schematic that is unrelated.

And apparently many people have been shorting many points that they don't have a clue what is there.

Please see this "one point" EDL mode way: https://xdaforums.com/posts/88921909/

Booting directly into EDL mode (vs indirectly through EDL cable) is only dependent on Qualcomm,

Motorola has no say in how that work. It does not require any goofy volume buttons.

OTOH, whether and how an EDL cable works is dependent on the phone manufacturer.

If somebody has the schematics they can PM them to me and I'll take a look.

FWIW, I couldn't get an EDL cable to work on my Moto G Power 2021 XT2117-4

But I did install a magnetic reed switch for it.

Now I can just put a magnet against the back of the unit and hit the power button for 10 seconds and it goes to EDL.

And when I discover EDL points I'm sure because I can tell which one is 1.8V and which is GPIO.

The 2nd photo is just drawn in because I forgot to take a photo after I wired it.
[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] Vvanderfell:
Hey, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. It's been a long time since I had to do this, and I couldn't recall what the flashing situation was on my phone, although the 6 flashes followed by a pause does ring a bell. The only thing I can tell you for sure is that I struggled for a long time before I got the phone to flash in a way that was indicative of EDL mode, and that was the procedure I ended up with in my previous post before there was more information available.

However, the most important part was changing to a different USB-C cable. And let me tell you, I tried a few of them before I got my phone to show up on my PC at all. The confusing part is that all of the cables I tried were confirmed perfect for charging and data transfer, but only one of them made the phone show up in device manager.

So, tl;dr, the only thing I can recommend is try a handful of other cables before you give up. I wish I could help you more than this, but I don't have this phone anymore.

Lately me and a few others from Mainline4Lumia discord server have been trying to get little kernel to work properly on my Nokia Lumia 925 (windows phone) however it seems that after it copies to memory it just seem to fail with no log aside from what's displayed on the screen (via imbusho's bootshim), the Android4Lumia generic little kernel image (flashed as UEFI) seems to work up until it goes to read GPT on emmc where it entirely stops, tried disabling display however no signs of life/booting after flashing non A4L image.

the phone uses msms8960 (snapdragon s4 plus) with 1gb of ram and 16gb of storage . i was hoping to get some insight why it may stop after copying to memory, i do have UART on the phone if that helps. again please let me know if this is the right spot to post as i havent used xda much aside from reading and fixing my lumias

Hi there,

i have been around here since i got my X1 and got quite some info from these great forums. Now that the Hard SPL is out i wonder if it is possible to make a ROM of my current Phone state, like an Image with all working stuff that i can just reflash whenever stuff goes wrong / i dont like a custom Rom etc.

I simply dont want to reinstall everything when i do a hard reset for whatever reason.

Is there a way to do this for the X1 ?

When I was looking to buy this phone, these are all things I couldn't find any info on, and if you're on the fence about whether or not you want to get the Red Magic 7 and have similar requirements for phone function/customization as me. I highly suggest you watch my video. It's kind of long, but I really just wanted to be as clear as possible with all of the info.

[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] vigilante:
I need help urgently. I tried to change the splash screen of my Samsung Galaxy A51. I downloaded a custom param tar file, placed it in my downloads folder and used this command in adb shell to replace the older one. I did back up my old param. But there's no way I can restore it. Now, my phone when I try to start it. It doesn't even seem to turn on the screen anymore. I hear the phone vibrating every 2 seconds so I assume it keeps rebooting. I tried to enter download mode but I can't because samsung made it that you need to go into the recovery first, so I tried to go into the recovery but nope, it keeps vibrating and it's not responding to whatever I do. Is there still any hope for my phone? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] vmirrimv:
Hello, I had this problem too. My phone also stopped booting into anything, even in TWRP.

For me, the resolve was to make the phone force reboot by holding power button and volume down, then immediately try to enter the downloading mode by holding volume buttons, when the screen turns off
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] vmirrimv:
and then you need to flash your device with your stock ROM
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] vmirrimv:
I understand you, that you cannot enter the recovery, but for me this method worked
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] vigilante:
I managed to solve it, the problem I had was that I was unable to boot into download mode. Because I have a samsung galaxy a51 and I did not know how to enter it. The last phone I had was a samsung galaxy s7 edge, back in the old days it was easy to enter download mode, just hold volume down, power button and home button. Now for some reason I need a cable connected to my computer and then hold volume up and down simultaneously. After I figured out how to enter download mode I flashed stock rom and phone worked again.

Looks like your backup file is corrupt/incomplete. How much size is it? Can you extract it to TAR file then extract the tar file without any error?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmediamanonxda:
Thanks for the reply @scandiun! Please see your inbox related to this topic. For the benefit of others, the restore fails even with the unaltered .ab created by the same device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scandiun:
I understand, but the problem may be that the backup was created corrupt in the first place, I mean it's possible that you don't have a backup. Please try to extract the tar file from the command line to see if there's any error.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmediamanonxda:
A tar has been created from the .ab backup. Files extracted from the tar can be accessed normally. Therefore the backup appears to be good. While the ultimate objective is to repack the .ab and return it to the device (used PAX to repack), since that was not working, the troubleshooting step is just to see if a restore of the unaltered .ab would work.

As mentioned, logcat messages trying to restore the unaltered .ab are:

About 1 min after restore execution when executed from OSx terminal:

adb restore processing complete.

Full restore pass complete.

and after 10 min when executed from within adb shell using BU command:

sep backup/restore timed out waiting for success

adb restore processing complete.

Unable to read restore input
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scandiun:
You did not answer my question. Did you extract the TAR from the COMMAND LINE to see if there's any error? How much size is the TAR file? If TAR extracts fine, HOW do you know that the extracted files contain the information you want, and are not unrelated files?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmediamanonxda:
Sorry, I thought I did when I wrote "Files extracted from the tar can be accessed normally. Therefore the backup appears to be good." Anyhow to be more specific, I extracted using java -jar abe.jar unpack {FileName.AB} {FileName.TAR} then tar -xvf FileName.TAR without error.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmediamanonxda:
For anyone who's struggling as I did and finds this post, I finally worked past the issues and would share the following from my aggravating experience.

adb backup does not work the same on all Android devices.

Some versions of adb are buggy, including the adbd daemon on the device. (Had fairly good luck using 1.0.31)

adb backup/restore may give misleading success messages. This means it doesn't always tell you what failed, if something fails.

adb restore can be awfully picky as explained by @scandiun here.

In the end, my goal was to retrieve some app data from an older Android device massage it a bit and basically copy it to a newer device. The older device running Android 4.4.2 would only backup using adb 1.0.31 via 'adb shell bu' command.

The newer device running Android 10 would only restore from .AB files created by the older device. Thanks again to @scandiun 's excellent guide which pointed out some facts like maintaining file permissions and file order in repackaged .AB files. @scandiun also eluded to a corrupt .AB, which I never imagined could be the case from a device outputting one with success messages. This led me to focus on why a device would not restore a backup file it just made. = buggy BackupManager daemon. (BTW, it seems at least part of the BackupManager daemon code is here)

Hope this info helps someone else... wish Google would provide a better way.

Thanks all.
