Hello - it's been about 10 years since I played with any XDA stuff or custom roms. I have a stock Motorola G Power that bricked itself. It will not boot and recovery mode just gives me "No Command". Only option seems to be factory data reset.
Can anyone suggest a procedure to allow me to either re-install the stock software to get into the phone or recover my data? Sadly I had not backed anything up since last summer.
Should I just try to reflash a stock rom to see if i can get in? Will flashing the rom kill the onboard storage?
Cant find the exact same version either:
SOFIA10/QPMS30.80-63-6-8-5
I found 63-6-8-10 and 63-6-8-3 but not the exact same. Phone is Retail US.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ok found the stock rom that matches 63-6-8-5. Do I just try to flash that back to get back into the phone with my existing data?

You can try flashing the stock from and just skip the erase userdata step.
The firmware contains a file named flash_file.xml contains the flash commands
You can use Online FlashFile Converter to convert the .XML to simple fastboot commands.
You also should check if getvar is-userspace
Code:
fastboot getvar is-userspace
if yes you need to switch between fastboot and fastbootd
If it's no you don't need to worry about fastbootd

No, you shouldn't need to but it's easier if the bootloader is unlocked.
Unlikely, you can unlock the bootloader now anyways.
Unless you enabled OEM Unlocking in Dev Options already.
If you did enable OEM Unlocking, I would Unlock the bootloader.

Are the steps any different if the bootloader is locked? You mention it is easier if it is unlocked.
Thank you for the tutorial.

Easier may not be the right word.
If the bootloader is unlocked, you are less likely to have issues flashing.

adb devices will not work if the device is in fastboot mode.
Use fastboot devices when it's in fastboot mode.

adb devices does not show anything in either mode. That is why I looked for fastboot mode. Should I trouble shoot that first?
This is what I want with the erase commands deleted at the end? The erase commands are what will kill my data or is there something else I need to remove?

Looks like phone doesn't respond to commands in fastbootd only normal.
I successfully ran the batch file, but the phone still doesn't boot. What is my next step? (besides throwing it against the wall!)
Phone accepts all the files for the current version of software, as well as commands to clear some of the labels. So the userdata is still there, I just can't get to it. Can you read these with a jtag like the older phones?
What if I try to roll it forward to Android 11 through the stock roms?

After so many failed attempts I found the way to get my phone a brick. Thanks to the rom "XT1625_ATHENE_AMAZON_MPJ24.139-64_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip".

After having the essential tools unpack the ROM our "moto g4 amazon".
- Install the drivers phone and ads.
- After you've done this step opens RSD lite.
- Having your phone in bootloader as it is important because running fastboot command.
- Locate the place where you unzipped the rom.
- Select the file "xml" flashfile.xml
- After you have selected the "flashfile.xml" file make sure your phone is connected and that your computer recognizes it.
- Click Start.

Do you have another link to that Rom? FileFactory keeps telling me they are overloaded and it won't let me DL. Side note, I've already tried the 139-64_65 file from https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=72578 and no luck. Still get stuck at Recovery saying "we have attempted a detect to flash." I'm hoping your ROM link is slight different, because the one I found has oem.img as one file, not two sparsechunks. I'm pretty sure I have a real brick.

Don't think so, the XT1687 should be the US variant of the G5 Plus, and the NPN25.137-67-5 is the Indian ROM.
You probably want to look for the NPN25.137-83 stock ROM.

After successfully rooting using the recovery method, I figured I'd try re-locking the bootloader on this phone.
I have no idea why it was so difficult, but if you're looking to do the same, here's what you'll need to do:
You can obtain your firmware by using Lenovo assistant. Download speeds are good.
Ok, now I'm going to focus on the part where you've gone back to stock, unrooted of course and just want your bootloader locked, with no N/A at boot or how you're not able to receieve updates because you're such a bad person.
Enable hidden files if not already. You'll find your firmware in C:\ProgramData\LMSA\Download\RomFiles\*your firmware folder* if you used the assistant. Open power shell in your firmware folder obviously.
****MAKE SURE YOU ARE FLASHING THE CORRECT FIRMWARE FILES****
DO NOT DO THIS WHILE ROOTED. MAKE SURE TO BE STOCK... everything... with just the bootloader in the unlocked state.
Of course this will reset the device so don't forget to back up/save any important data
Obviously you'll need to have USB debugging enabled prior to flashing. Let's begin!
1) enter fastboot mode
2) check to make sure things are good (device properly detected and showing serial#) with fastboot devices command
3) Now Type (flash) ONLY these commands (files) and yes you need to do that first part THREE times:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot oem lock
Then your powershell window should say:
(bootloader) Lock complete! Flash signed images after reboot if needed
OKAY [ 0.099s]
finished. total time: 0.101s
PS C:\ProgramData\LMSA\Download\RomFiles\SURFNA_your device firmware_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml>
Your phone is now rebooting
If you are having difficulty locking a different device, then perhaps this may help...
In order to lock your bootloader, you must do it immediately after unlocking it.
Stock firmware are available on lolinet.
You can find the list of all Motorola Edge Plus firmware here:
lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.
lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai
mirrors.lolinet.com
Select your region and download relevant firmware.
[Prerequisite]
- ADB
- Motorola Drivers
Extract zip into adb folder for convenience.
Paste following command in command prompt:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot oem lock
Android 11 to Android 10 downgrade
It seems Motorola has disabled bootloader downgrade through Anti-Rollback in Android 11. The latest version of Android 11 (Q1-19-58-30-2) doesn't allow vbmeta to be flashed. Fastboot would return following error:
(bootloader) WARNING: vbmeta_a anti rollback downgrade, 10 vs 16
I have the Verizon Edge plus. I noticed that there is a VZW folder, which I am assuming is the Verizon firmware, and a Retail folder on the lolinet mirror. Can you flash the retail version on the Verizon version of the phone successfully and would it remove the Verizon bloat?

How long is the "fastboot oem fb_mode_clear" command supposed to last? Left it for a lot of time and nothing happens, I check the bootloader logs and last log is erase:ddr. If I select Start from the menu using the up/down keys and the start button, it takes me to a screen where it says no valid firmware detected contact motorola support. Please help
I haven't tried it yet but someone confirmed to me that you can flash the retail firmware on a Verizon variant. Yes it will remove the extra junk. No it will not make the bootloader unlockable
(bootloader) Invalid partition name Bluetooth- can proceed no further. Had to rescue as phone is a necessity

if the bootloader is unlocked does that mean it can be used with any carrier? what exactly would an unlocked bootloader enable?
Unlocked bootloader just allows you to flash custom .img on the device
This however wont fix the fingerprint scanner, that even if you did the workaround after unlocking ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/fix-fingerprint-not-working-after-bootloader-unlock.4214041/ ) , because you lost root after flashing stock and no way to edit the goodix files.
Anyway to properly return to stock and get fingerprint scanner back ?
EDIT: Nvm, the fix works properly with just skipping all the goodix part and doing all the CQA Menu Mode operations per the instructions.

If you did a nandroid backup (e.g., TWRP etc.), do a full 'clean restore (i.e., wipe cache, Dalvik cache, system AND format data > Yes (important).
If not, do the same full wipe, reboot to fastboot and flash the stock rom. You could also try the Motorola "Rescue and Smart Assistant" but I'm not sure it will work in your particular case.
If you want to go back to stock ROM or "OS" consider this method unofficial works on RETCA not sure about other devices, Verizon for sure needs its own software, The requirements of this method are Windows 10/11, Motorola's USB Drivers and a working Fastboot. Download the stock ROM from here https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/borneo/ match the model of the device, Extract the firmware guessing it's in Downloads folder open that folder in the Terminal here's an example "cd C:\Users\smoke\Downloads" then here are commands to flash converted from the xml files
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set

This has worked for me never had a problem don't expect the same outcome, I would read the terms and services you agreed to when unlocking the bootloader.
Mind if I ask what custom ROM you were using? I haven't seen any for this phone yet
