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

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.

Hello all!
So I got tired of waiting for the latest update to hit my phone so I figured I would do it manually. After plenty of experience with Moto phones I gathered that the official RETAIL files should work with all of the GSM versions of the Moto Z2 Play. This is confirmed to work with both XT1710-01 and XT1710-07, but is likely to work with others (but not the US Verizon Model). For those of us who are security minded, this is flashed w/o unlocking your bootloader which means that only Motorola signed images will work, and it also means that you do not need to wipe your data. Woohoo!
As usual, you take full responsibility for anything you do to your phone, but since your bootloader is locked, this should be fairly low risk, barring some sort of power loss mid-flash.
How to:
1. Download & Install Motorola Drivers from XDA.
2. Download & extract stock rom from here.
3. Use mfastboot/fastboot to run the following commands/run the attached .bat file. (Hint: make sure fastboot files are in the same directory as the the ROM files and .bat file).
3a. If you need more help on mfastboot or fastboot, look here.
Code:
echo off

echo Moto Z2 Play ROM Flash Start

Hope this helps!
but how is obtained stock rom?

I had no problem flashing with a locked bootloader. Didn't even have to wipe. What error did you get when you tried to flash?

Hi guys,
Did not see anyone here on XDA who uploaded recently leaked OFFICIAL PIE fastboot image ROM for Moto G6 Plus, so I decided to do it for you all. :highfive:
This is a RETAIL release so it should work on all variants of our device (I have XT1926-3 (this is RETEU, Europe, Poland) and flashed it without any problems, phone works flawlessly).

It works, indeed, flawless, though I used the version Vache shared on telegram. I assume it's the same file you used for this tutorial. I think it's important to mention that there are 2 possibilities to update:
1. The way you describe here
2. Use the update file (Blur_Version.29.11.11.evert.retail.en.US.zip) and place in the root of the internal storage. Then check for updates (though I think this only works when coming from a specific build).

So you were able to upgrade without getting the "Verity mode is set to disabled" on the boot screen or having your System Updates disabled due to the unlocked bootloader?

"Verity mode is set to disabled" is still present on boot screen - I don't care.
System Updates were disabled at the begining - there was some information about System Integrity. After flashing Magisk 18 this information dissapeared as you noticed.

Hmmm. For some reason I get "Server error" in play store. And autobrightness jumps up and down every few seconds. Have tried returning to oreo and reflashing/factory resetting to no avail On reteu.
EDIT: Hmm also get the error in oreo now Anyone know whats up? Came from Lineage 16.
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.

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?
I have a 2020 Chevy Bolt EV with Android Auto (AA) and a Moto G Power XT-2041-4 2020 (Sofia), which ran Moto's stock A10 out of the box, as I recall. But I immediately rooted it and flashed Bettle64's A11 Havoc ROM. Later, after Bettle6i discontinued Havoc it, I decided to flash LOS A11, but the installation got screwed up. So, I ran the Lenovo Rescue Tool, but ended up with Moto stock A11. I also learned that I must use Vasche's tool and downgrade to A10 in order to root and flash a custom ROM, again.
Also, my Sofia was unable to connect to Android Auto until recently, as explained below, which I attributed to being rooted and/or running a custom ROM.
Chevy recently installed a new software update which is supposed to ameliorate the infamous battery fire issue, but it apparently fixed the AA connectivity issue. So, my Sofia running stock A11 connects to AA.
I'm concerned that if if root the device and install a new ROM it will not connect to AA, again. Also, Moto recently announced that it won't upgrade the Sofia to A12, and I don't want to be stuck forever on stock A11.
So, I'd like to do the equivalent of a Nandroid backup of my current working stock A11 ROM for insurance before venturing forth to root/ROM the phone. Is that possible? Any other thoughts/ideas? Forgive the length.
Thanks
Honestly all the information you need is available on the first pages of some of these forums, just do a search, browse around.
In short I would just backup your important files and forget nandroid backup of android 11 if your going back to 10. You don't need any tools just download the android 10 factory firmware from lolinet mirrors: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/sofia/official
Make sure you have your android adb software on your computer, adb reboot bootloader and run these fastboot commands:
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img

If your looking for a solid android 10 based custom rom may I suggest Ressurection Remix, it's been solid for me.

Thanks for this, but I'm unclear on 2 issues:
- Do you mean that I don't have to downgrade from A11 to A10 first?
- Flash with Fastboot or FastbootD?
Thanks again

Yes you have to downgrade by using the Android 10 factory image, and this process is done with regular fastboot.

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

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
