Requesting someone's backup of emmc so I can unbrick my XT2117-4 Retail(Retus) Moto G power 2021. Stuck in Qusb-HS Dloader 9008 mode after setting active slot to b with nothing on slot b in fastboot. If I could atleast somehow swap back to slot_a I feel like that would work but I don't think that's really a possibility in edl. Mainly the GPT also would be helpful. Motorola/borneo_retail/borneo:10/QZBS30.Q4-43-35-2/f8e93:user/test-keys is the build I was on at the time. My phone is hard bricked not soft bricked. There is no fastboot mode only edl mode with Qcom HS-USB 9008. I believe It got bricked by me switching to slot_b in fastboot mode with nothing on slot_b not even bootloader. Also my bootloader is unlocked and it was rooted with magisk at the Time of hard brick. I believe fastboot set_active_slot b was the command that bricked it or what ever the correct usage of the set active command was if that's not exactly it. I just need the emmc_prog_firehose for SM_KAMORTA_H or SDM662 or SM6115. Whatever the proper name out of those it would be I guess for this phones type.
Can't use LSMA since it's hard bricked it doesn't even recognize anything is plugged in. I need a blankflash file to use with qboot or the emmc_programmer and then use QFIL or QPST possibly. I use Linux and Windows both if that helps at all somehow.
More info from a reply of mine.
REPLY:
"No it specifically warned that there was nothing on b and it was dangerous but I wasn't paying much attention to it because I was watching family guy so I told it to go ahead and switch. Insta brick after that decision. It does warn you though or it did with me on my phone. Whenever you've done it your slot probably wasn't really "empty" in the sense it didn't have a bootloader on it. You can't boot up a phone that's on a slot without even a bootloader on it otherwise you'll literally have nothing to load your boot image in the first place which means no recovery or fastboot either for A/B devices hence you then have a hard bricked phone in emergency download mode afterwards that either needs reprogrammed or deep flashed (If there's really a difference I don't know). I think you still need a firehose_emmc_programmer or Blank-flash file which has a programmer in it to do that though which is what I need. Some phones might have different emergency protocols for that situation or maybe it's been updated since to where it prevents A/B phones from getting stuck in limbo on an empty slot but the XT2117-4 Moto G Power 2021 doesn't it just warns or atleast when I bricked mine. It's nice to have the option for developer and testing purposes probably or just as a way to get into EDL Mode. I just wasn't paying as much attention as I should have been while tweaking my phone. I'm not a developer or expert though so someone correct me if I'm mistaken somewhere but I have atleast an alright understanding of what's going on I hope from my experience with rooting/rooted phones. A/B partitioning is still kind of a weird newer thing to me since I haven't done much after bricking my G Power and I was used to System As Root before that."

Yes every time it says fastboot flash single partition failed
Hello guys. I have this device and I'll help you. Mine's not rooted yet which is why I came to ask a question and accidentally clicked this thread. Tell me what I need to do to get what you need and I'll do it. i don't know how to use a mouse in TWRP and it sounds like that's what you need. I have a wireless mouse with a usb dongle but no type-c otg at the moment. I just found out from another post in here about using twrp from a terminal. I need to learn more about that too. Dude made a kernel backup with an adb twrp command. I asked him about it but have gotten no response.I also only run linux, but may install a windows 11 virtual machine to use LMSA since every lolinet kernel I've rooted so far results in no touch response.
Have you guys tried fastboot flashing the entire lolinet firmware? I just made a tutorial on it. I've never had a problem that wouldn't fix and I have quite a bit of experience....

Ok. I have a question as I've never used a mouse with my phone before. Are you guys using a mouse through OTG to use im TWRP? To help you any time soon I'll have to find info for using TWRP with ADB commands as I don't think I have the hardware to use my mouse.
Edit: I found information faster than I thought I would. I looked it up in the past and could find nothing but it's a new feature.

of course? I'm not trying to be a smartass. You just may have switched slots with twrp and don't know the fastboot command.

Ok. How was it that you switched slots and got stuck? I want to experiment but I don't want to make the same mistake.
Also, if your bootloader is locked, aren't you still under warranty? Can you make a warranty claim?
If not, you may be able to unlock it in your current state which might make fixing it easier. You could try
fastboot oem get_unlock_data
and if it returns some lines of code you can likely unlock it now.
With a locked bootloader you are very limited and my twrp backup of a RETUS would have had no chance at all of helping you unless you happen to have a factory unlocked US variant.
I had it rooted and the bootloader unlocked...then i tried to follow a flash back to stock and re lock boot loader guide....but now when it boots it says no valid os or i can go into fastboot and thats about it....

Have you tried to unlock it again with the same code? I have never even tried to relock a bootloader. I may have nightmares. If you still have the unlock email I would try that.

So sorry. If i think of anything else I'll let you know. I think relocking your bootloader with an altered kernel was a bad idea, but I think relocking your bootloader is a bad idea anytime.

I'm might be in wrong place but im Looking for any info on g8 power lite variant of g8 power. UK unlocked regards retail. Looking like It is a oddball as I cannot find anything. I don't think there will be much support but if anybody knows if this similar enough to any other variant ?? Android pie out the box no update. Not even Moto app to enable one button navbar. Any help thanks
Hello
I just got the LATAM version of that same phone, and i can tell you that it's gonna take some time to get information, but it will appear in some time.
Indeed, this is the right place, but it seems to be that similar models have variants around the globe, and the Moto G8 Power Lite it's not a priority right now.
I'm waiting the same for my version (XT2055-2), but it's just a matter of patience.
Keep looking on the forum and eventually it will appear some information

Yea I thought as much, motorola seems to be putting out lots of versions of every device. This is by far the worst device I have had in recent memory, seems be missing quite a bit of the usual options available on other recent moto devices. I would have a go at bits myself but it also seems my version of this device has a Chinese bootloader installed, I don't think I will still have this device by the time any work is done I need to change phones quite often for work. Good luck.

The chinese bootloader is something common on Motorola, even i have the same thing. But i guess they gonna come up with something. As per today, the Brazil version of this smartphone started getting Android 10 (with some bugs tho) so i guess Motorola gonna start moving things in the coming weeks

Go to Settings > About Phone > Model & hardware
and it will show you the Model, Serial number and Model(SKU) of the device. Ithing what you are after is the SKU.
Tip: Under the title "Model & Hardware" you should see "Model: moto g8 power lite" in a gray(er) font.
{This may vary between models and versions}
Hope this helps.

It's not possible to unlock the bootloader on the G8 power lite, only the G8/G8 power.
It cannot be done using fastboot but it is certainly possible using the Realtek VCOM USB protocol
Rooting Moto G8 Power Lite
Does anyone know where I can find a decent guide to rooting the G8 Power Lite (if one exists - I know it's only been out a few months)? I've had a Google around and looked on this forum and on reddit but I can't find anything. I haven't done...
forum.xda-developers.com
This video sums it up well
Essentially you need to:
1. download MTKCLIENT from github, works best on Linux IMHO but Windows works too - on Windows you need additional USB drivers and MTK Drivers, which i attached. Use PIP to install the requirements by going into the MTKCLIENT directory and typing into CMD/Terminal: python3 pip install -r requirements.txt
2. Copy the G8 power Lite specific script to the root folder of the MTKCLIENT
3. Open up the phone, remove the plastic covering the cameras and motherboard. Unplug the battery. Short these two pins either by soldering them together or just using something metal - this is only necessary during the flash and then should be removed.
View attachment 5889467
4. Plug in usb cable to the phone but dont connect it to the pc yet. Start the program either by CD-ing to the MTKCLIENT directory and running it via CLI (on Linux: python3 mtk w proinfo,seccfg proinfo.bin,seccfg.bin, If it wont unlock using the custom G8 script, just run this generic command: python mtk da seccfg unlock) or doubleclicking the desbloq_bootloader.bat on Windows. Then short the two pins, keep them shorted and connect the USB cable to the PC. You should see a bunch of code scroling, it will automatically close/end.
5. Unplug USB, remove short circuit from two pins, plug in battery, turn on phone, you should see lines of text during the boot like this:
View attachment 5889471
Bootloader unlocked. Now the only use is ROOT, no custom ROMs or Recoveries available as its vastly different from normal G8 power, which has a Snapdragon CPU and totally different screen. You'll also get a big "CARRIER INVALID" message on the home screen, so after you ROOT make sure to relock the bootloader using the same method but the command is python3 mtk da seccfg lock
I'm almost sure that what I got it's a - Moto g8 Power lite - XT2055-1
So I got the phone long ago and it's been mostly at home and used as a backup by some of my friends.. I can't even remember which person had it last time.
Thing is that I completely forgot about the Motorola protection and after factory reset it keeps on asking for the last used google account which I got no clue which one would be. To make things worst I have no way to find out the IMEI's so that I can use Motorola RSA.
It looks like to me that I can't enter BootRom mode and I can only access preloader mode even tho, I got access to recovery mode and meta mode. I have tried all the key combos I can imagine by now.
I have also tried sp flash tools but I'm getting an error when the process is starting.
I'll drop some more details soon.. thank you.

I did before as far as I recall but I gave up on it I think 'cus I ran into some issues as well.. I'm a bit rusty when it comes to this kind of stuff.. now that I'm reading all again about the tools etc I'm gonna give mtkclient a go and keep you all posted. Thank you again.
First off some questions please.. and I'm running win 11 pro.
What am I suppose to see on the screen when on Brom mode ? or how do I know that I'm on that mode.. obviously that if I'm not the operations just fail.
cant run mtk_gui atm for some reason trying to clear that out.. 'C:\Users\Q\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\shiboken6\libshiboken does not exist'
Also tried bypass_utility_v1.4.2 using dif. key combos always returns 'device in preloader mode, trying to crash..'
mtkclient handshake returns failed 'Preloader - [LIB]: status: handshake failed, retrying..'
I'll keep on trying to understand all this just need my time.. all help appreciated.

for brom/preloader mode you will need to use the shorting method shown in the previously mentioned youtube video, not sure why you're trying mtk_gui and bypass_utility_v1.4.2 , what are you trying to achieve by using them?
Well reading from github where you get the mtkclient I thought that I could unlock the bootloader using the bypass_utility_v1.4.2 just like that.. guess ain't that easy and tbh after reading your previous words also thought that I could try using the mtkclient regardless being via the gui or the terminal.
I have seen some posts about the Brasilian fella and more shorting method but thought that by now wouldn't be needed anymore.. I did have my phone open before 'cause of that.. guess I'll have to have a look again.. my bad.
Thanks again.

you might be able to get into brom/preloader mode by holding volume down button while it is booting but shorting also brings the same result

I do care.. I also care the way some people talk to others behind screens.
Now if you read what I have just said on my previous post and the first post so to get what you/I'm dealing with you will realize that I was stuck on welcome screen, after soft reset, 'cus of FRP, once the last google account used was still active and I had no clue. Just use the search string on youtube that I have mentioned and on the first vid follow the 20k steps to be able to bypass google/android FRP.
Farewell.
Would someone please point me out their fav XT2055-1 roms ?
Thank you.
Update 2021.01.24: I consider the problem mentioned here as solved, since it can be resolved with MTK Bypass explained in the Guides Section. BE CAREFUL however to ONLY choose "Download Only" from the dropdown box in SP Flashtool! DO NOT select anything with "Format" in it, else you will lose S/N, MACs and IMEIs!
--- Original post ---
Hi, I have hard-bricked my new Realme 6 while trying to root it with Magisk. At the moment I am stuck in a bootloop at the power-on logo (realme in white letters). The boot animation (yellow realme letters) does not appear, instead the phone reboots after ~35 seconds. The bootloader says "Orange State".
I can NOT enter fastboot nor recovery mode by any key combination. Holding Power and Vol- makes the string RECOVERY MODE appear for a split second in the lower left part of the screen, however nothing happens afterwards.
I can power down by holding Power and Vol+ an releasing them immediately after the screen goes blank.
Holding Vol- and Vol+ while the phone is off and connecting USB makes a USB serial device appear on a windows machine for about 1-2 seconds before it disappears again.
I am very thankful for any hints on how to unbrick the device.
Here's what I have done in detail to mess up the phone:
1. OTA-Update to the latest OS in my region (EU11.A.48)
2. Unlocked the bootloader with the realme In-depth Test app (everything fine so far)
3. Download stock firmware RMX2001EU_11.A.48 ozip from realmeupdater.com
4. Unzipped with gnu unzip (content was readable, no extra decrytion tool for the ozip needed?) and extracted boot.img
5. Installed Magisk Manager and uploaded boot.img to the phone
6. Patched boot.img with Magisk Manager (and if I remeber correctly DIDN'T UNCHECK Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity)
7. Certainly FORGOT to do anything with vbmeta.img
8. Did NOT erase cache and userdata
9. Flashed patched boot.img directly and WITHOUT --disable-verity or --disable-verification
10. Rebooted the phone.
Am I correct that my problem is the AVB/dm-verity part?
Why does the modified boot.img affect the recovery (I thought they were seperate)
Can I try something with SP Flashtool?
I do have a second intact device that I didn't dare to touch yet, if that helps resolving the issue (e.g. for SP Flashtool readbacks).
As said any advice is highly welcome. Please ask I you need any more information to help.
I did that too... Magisk patched boot .img process of rooting is the risky process , I bricked my device, got it into red state.. tried thick and thin to revive using various flash tools, unable to do it, finally went to a shop , got it fixed, go-to a good repair shop, if you go to the service center, they will say replace motherboard for 5 k , I hope it helps, do traditional unlock bootloader TWRP recovery then flashing Magisk zip method for rooting process.
Thank you for sharing! But doesn't red state mean locked BL plus non-stock firmware? I wish I could find any repair shop during this Corona lockdown... May I ask how much they charged you for having the phone reflashed?

Yes, you are right , red state means that, I guess bcoz, I may have formatted it and ran again unlocked bootloader but it showed unlocking failed, but I thought that I had previously unlocked it so it should be unlocked but I forgot to do that app thing process of deep test again, and I was on Android 10 latest and patched boot img of previous version using magisk, now I understand what mistake I made, I should have used boot IMG of current version of a 10 , but still I am afraid of doing this magisk method of rooting by patching boot IMG bcoz repair cost me 800/- , and I found out on YT that the latest version of a 10 of my device doesn't readily allows twrp and flashing zip of magisk.... Plus there are half baked info on important things, this is new device for me, I have had rooted Samsung and Lenovo, but rooting this is kind of tricky, bcoz it's still new, I think.... Want to try .... But I m afraid.... Tried fastboot method of TWRP flashing but can't replace stock room, so I guess I can't root .....
Well, there is a tutorial on how to root here on XDA, and seems to be confirmed working. I just didn't know about the vbmeta part from earlier Android versions. Haven't you tried that?

Thank you for sharing! But doesn't red state mean locked BL plus non-stock firmware? I wish I could find any repair shop during this Corona lockdown... May I ask how much they charged you for having the phone reflashed?

Hello, please check my reply to your reply on my thread. BROM mode is as known as "Emergency Mode" and should not be inaccessible. I will once again request you to try different key combinations and also if it's detecting as fastboot, ADB or Fastboot commands should be available. Please try typing adb reboot or fastboot reboot with minimal ADB and fastboot tools and let me know. If you want to personally message me, message my telegram. I will try helping you there.
Why is this thread showing solved !!! It's nothing solved here... Pls check and confirm

Hey guys I’ve been here once or twice before but it’s been a while. I have some in the ass and I need your help please. I’ve been working at unlocking the boot loader on my Motorola Moto G power 2021 for two months now. The reasoning is for that I have no PC nor desktop rather one of my old android phones (Motorola Moto G7 Optimo) That I have had, Trying to figure out how to unlock my boot loader on my Motorola Moto G power 2021. I managed to unlock the boot loader finally but now I’m having issues with trying to install TWRP. My question is is that is there another custom room that I can install with two androids connected to USB – C double cable? I’ve been waiting for a long time to get my phone routed, please help and thanks
If you have one android rooted with magisk, there is an ADB/Fastboot Magisk module that might work for that, but I've never actually tried it. But I'm pretty sure one would have to be rooted. Another option might be to install linux on your phone. I have manjaro linux installed on mine but, again, it is limited without root because of selinux policy. With root, that can be disabled.
I also just noticed adb and fastboot can be installed in termux without root with
pkg install android-tools
You might try that.
If it workS, then YES, you can root without pc. Just 2 Android phones and a doubLe type c cable.

Don't install the TWRP we have now. Just boot it to use it with adb shell commands or a mouse. If you install it you'll get a bootloop, Dude says. I had to use it to extract my kernel for rooting.
Aaaannd the story thickens…. I ended up unlocking the boot loader with the two android phones and a USB – C type. However when I tried to flash Magisk, it flip my phone into a boot loop. Now, Me being the rookie that I am and trying to progress far too quickly, I Have relocked my boot loader and now I have a message which says no valid operating system can be found, will not boot.
Can someone please put me out of my misery and just go ahead and say that I am screwed?
Try to unlock your bootlloader againDamn I can't even type in here. Fgn xda is throwing up an ad over the typing area every time I make a cursor. Ok it finally stopped as I took a screenshot.
Now why on earth are you people trying to relock your bootloaders? I've rarely heard of such a thing and only to try to claim warranty, but I've been here for 2 days and already found 2 people with relocked (possible) bricks on this phone. And there aren't even many people here yet. What gives?
Don't worry yet. I think you're in better shape than the other guy.
If you still have your unlock email try to unlock it again with the same code. If you don't, or that doesn't work run get_unlock_data again and request another code.
BTW, I've never done this twice. So it might not work. If it doesn't, there is another option. Just come back and tell us how it went.
What carrier is your phone?

so yeah I tried it again but the boot loader is still locked however I think the partitions are messed up after I was trying to flash magic and it fell right into a boot loop. Somehow it has actually gotten better and not continuously boot looping I can stay in fast boot but it won’t burn into anything else or power off unless it runs out of battery. But I do have the same code but it’s not taking hit it because OEM unlocking on developer mode is still locked.

So what other plans do you have I’m very curious to know? Also I am through straight talk on a TracFone. I’m also trying to unlock the boot loader on my Moto G7 optimo and I’ve tried the unlock data through Motorola and it says it can’t be unlocked but I think that’s b******t

That used to happen to me a lot in the olden days when I used Windows and would manually type the code. I never know if they are Os or zeros. Now that I use linux I just copy/paste the code quick and easy. If you know that phone with that carrier can be unlocked, keep trying. In Android I know you can copy/paste from the terminal. I hear some carriers make you wait so long before unlocking too, although I've never had a phone with that problem. A good friend told me just the other day he had a Boost phone that they made him wait 6 months to unlock.
As far as plans, I got this phone by accident and dropped and broke the screen the 1st day I had it, before the case arrived. When the case arrived, it was a case for the G9 Power, which I thought this phone was when I ordered it. So, next month I will order the G9 Power since I already have a case and screen protector for it. My last phone was the G8 Stylus (sofiap) and this "Power" just doesn't have the same great battery life. I also had the G7 Power (ocean) and it had excellent battery life. I meant to get the G9 Power for the 6000 mAh battery, but with it's higher resolution screen it's probably no better than this Power. I think all "Power"s should have a 720P screen for the better battery life. or at least a switch to select the resolution you want like on my Galaxy S7.
This phone needs some ROMs though, so if I can find the time, I will do my best to give it a couple, if luck is on my side. Maybe a Resurrection Remix and a crDroid or Bliss. But really, it's whatever I can get to build, so maybe none. Lol.

I think there's still hope for you. I'm trying to figure out which stock firmware version your phone came with. If we can figure that out, I think you can flash and boot it even with a locked bootloader. What splash screen and boot animation does it have? Is it tracphone? I see a US Cellular version. When you boot to the bootloader what does the 1st white line say on the lower left? The BL line?
Also, I assume you got fastboot working phone to phone. I've tried 3 different adb/fastboot installations and can't get it to work (Magisk module, the one from termux pkg install android-tools, and one from github.). Can you tell me how you did it?

Yeah, I hear there is some trick to do it. Maybe in the new powershell (I've never tried it), but highlighting some text and right clicking to copy doesn't work in a command prompt, or it didn't 6 years ago. Did they add that functionality?

Moto devices can be finicky.
You should be able to flash stock firmware with fastboot, but on windows rsd lite or the newer lsma work more reliably.
On windows mfastboot sometime works when standard fastboot.exe doesn't.
Linux may work better.
USB debugging doesn't effect fastboot mode, it's an adb function.
Edit:for locked bootloader
Booting stock .img may work for some devices

Yes, but I was going to have him run
adb shell getprop | grep build.version.base
to figure out the software channel he needs. With the output I could find the exact build he is/was running on lolinet. That's hoping his bootloop is booting far enough for adb to enable though. adb shell wont work from stock recovery and adb shell from the quamp twrp we're using returns guamp device info. Wtf?

On Linux fastboot seems to be flawless. I'm surprised to hear that it has trouble on Windows. But I think he's running fastboot from another android., which is so cool. Opens a door for root with no pc.

My Moto G power of 2021 is the one that I unlocked the boot loader with the code off of the Motorola site and then I tried to mess with Magis and it ended up boot looping so I tried to lock it again thinking that would help somehow and that’s where I’m at on that one. On the Moto G7 optimo I haven’t gotten anywhere with that one yet however I did get I haven't gotten anywhere with that one yet however I did get the Unlock data and put it on Motorola site and it said it can’t be unlocked. Also sorry but I’m new to this so I don’t understand about the splash screen and boot animation so please let me know what I need to do to give you that information.
Now with the phone to phone android to android, are used the Google app BUGJAEGER 3.0-full (164). Are used the command: fastboot oem unlock <unlock code> . And it unlocked right away.

I just got a laptop and I’m going to attempt to use the command prompt and copy and paste to see if I can get the unlock code for my G7 optimo but on the Moto G power of 2021, I did have all of it unlocked but now since my dumbass locked the boot loader again I can’t get back on the initial platform and get developer tools. If I can get the OEM unlocking toggled back on I probably can unlock it reflash the firmware and boot my phone again
<EVERYONE>
Just to recap, my Motorola Moto G power 2021 is Bootloader locked after Magisk Installation failure. I have messed around with it and have it stuck in Fastboot Mode after it was stuck in bootloop. Some progress but the boot loader is locked again because of a error of mine and now it will not take my unlock code that I used before. Mind you, I did all of this between two android phones and an app called BUGAEGER That is available on Google play
I have a LG K7 that will boot to system, but no matter how many times I try, it wont boot into either download mode or recovery mode. I've tried the combos of vol down + power and vol up + power and every other combination I can think of. Pulled the battery and it didn't improve.
Anybody ever see something like this? Any suggestions on how to get it to work?

Yes, and adb devices shows nothing. I'm wondering if the bootloader is locked and maybe that's why I'm having problems.
Also, I'm having problems getting TWRP to load. Do you know what version of TWRP will work with K7?

If "adb devices" shows nothing imo it's not recognised so not possible to flash.

@BigZ1 sorry, none.
OK, finally can get into firmware mode and also recovery mode. Reason I needed this is to be able to try loading custom roms on this old phone. Now I'm on to the next pothole in the road.
I would like to install twrp. twrp from the playstore wont install unless you are rooted. I am using stock rom android 5 unrooted. I've looked at all the options and from what I see, I have the classic chicken and the egg dilema. Can't flash until my OS is rooted, and cant root without flashing.
The only way out is to use adb to flash the twrp file. Unfortunately I can't get adb devices command to acknowledge any devices. I have usb debugging on, and by connecting to a windows computer, I can view internal storage. So the device is communicating, but not via adb commands.
I tried to use the LGUP tool from LG, but it wont let me select my device, It sees the correct model of phone on Com3, but wont let me select the model. I think it's because LG has turned off their servers and cast us adrift.
If anybody has any ideas, it would be much appreciated.
I think my best bet is to get adb devices to work, or find a way to root my OS. I just cant figure out how to make that work. Help, please!!!!
BTW, in the stock recovry mode, LG has removed everything useful (e.g. install zip, reboot options, wipe cache, etc.) so the only option there is factory data reset. Thanks a lot LG!!!!!

I doubt that fastboot will work if adb isn't but it's worth a try.
You are right, a fastboot command would do it. Only reason I mentioned adb devices, is that if adb can't see the devices, fastboot wont either. I'll try it again, but so far no luck.
What I don't understand is why usb debugging lets me look at the internal files, but adb devices doesn't work. Perhaps you are right, the bootloader may be locked. Only thing I could find about that is in developer options I turned on OEM unlock.
Is there any other way to unlock the bootloader?
Sure wish I could get some of the LG tools working. They might enable flashing of twrp recovery or one of the various zip files that would root my OS.
Any more ideas? I'm desperate enough to try most anything....
One more question. When you try to execute adb or fastboot commands, should you be in what LG calls "firmware download" mode? Seems to me that when I did adb or fastboot commands on other vendors phones, I was able to do so while the OS was running.
Grasping for straws....
Well, it looks like you are right. There is a fastboot command
fastboot oem unlock
that would unlock the bootloader. Unfortunately while it's locked, I can't get fastboot to recognize any devices, so I can't unlock it.
Is there any way around this?

Fastboot is afaik only working in download/bootloader mode.
ADB working on any other.
So <adb reboot bootloader > usually gets you there (but adb doesn't work) or switch to it manually.
Idk if you need to flash an unlock.bin by LG.
Got it before 31.12.21 for my G5.

Yeah, I just discovered that LG discontinued support on Dec 31, 2021. So, looks like I'm out of luck for getting anything from them.
My only hope is that someone has that lockbin file and would share it. Sure wish LG hadn't left me high and dry.
Now that LG support is gone, is there any forum that might have some kind of workaround for the bootloader?

The file got generated by LG after I entered a long code on their developers site which is afaik different for each device.
So someone elses unlock.bin might even harm your device.
You may be right, but at this point I don't have much to lose.
One thing I would like to do with the K7, is get it rooted. I can move files to the internal storage with usb debugging. I can't install any zip files and that makes it really difficult to find anything that can root it. Thanks again to LG for reducing the recovery menu to "factory reset data" so the phone has almost nothing useful.
If you can figure out a way that I can install zip files, please let me know.
I can't find anything that will let me flash the device without root, and I can;t get to root without some tools in the recovery menu.
Thanks
OK, I have not found a way to root. So I thought I'd take one last look at flashing/upating the firmware. I found a .kdz and a .tot file that I'd like to try. At this point I'm not risking much because the phone isn't worth much to me as is.
So, if you had a .kdz and .tot file to try out, what app would you use to flash it to the K7?
I tried to get LGUP to work and LG flash tool, but cant seem to make them work. If I knew what one to use, it would narrow my search. I'm trying to flash the K7 firmware by running exe files (LG UP, LG flash tool) on Windows 10.
What do you guys use?

So, I managed to find a patched version of LG flash tool (2.0.1.6) on this website (thanks to member ieatacid), that doesn't give me errors immediately after I open it. The first thing I notice is that it doesn't appear to recognize the K7. If I try checking the box for manual mode and adding the file I want to flash, the click start, it tells me to "select model dll file". This is probably a result of flash tool not recognizing the phone. Anyway, where am I supposed to find this .dll file? I've searched everywhere and came up empty handed.
Can anybody give me some enlightenment on what I am doing wrong? Any help at all will be much appreciated.
Is there a tutorial on use of the flash tool? I looked but haven't found it yet. Just some youtube videos that are terse and lacking in detail.
Thanks!

I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier. I own 3 LG phones (LGMS300m1, LM-X210ULMG10r. VS500PP9). I tried all 3 with LGUP tool. The tool recognized 2 of the 3, and failed to ID the LGMS300 (K7). Anybody got any ideas why the tool would recognize some but not others?
I am the only owner of the two phones that LGUP would ID. I guarantee that the bootloader on them was never touched (unlocked or locked, in any way). So that's not the answer.
It would be a big improvement for me, if I could at least get the LGUP tool to work for the K7.
BTW, I tried all 3 phones on the 2016 version of LG Flash Tool. All 3 failed to be identified.
Please, if anybody has a hypothesis for the odd behavior of the LGUP tool, I would love to hear it. Any suggestions are welcome.

Update on the never ending saga!
I found (on this website) an LGUP tool (version) that is for the MS330. So it works (albeit not so consistently). I was able to flash a .kdz file after several trials. Apparently when LGUP connects, it puts the MS330 in bootloader mode, waits 15 seconds for the device to respond and then begins flashing.
Now, here's the problem. I have a .tot file I'd like to flash. When trying to flash a .tot file, 15 seconds is not enough time for the device to respond, and I get an error for what appears to be an asynch error. That is to say, the MS330 took a second or two more that the 15 seconds to respond saying, yes i'm in bootloader mode.
Is there any way to give it a bit more time? Surely the members who use LGUP tool would have encountered this behavior, and would have found a solution.
Words of wisdom, anyone?
so I been trying to install GSI and I erase all the partitioning and forgot to create them again and now my phone is hard brick when I connect my deep flash cord to my Moto g power 2021 and hold the button it's show no ports and I have the driver install when I connect only thing that happen is that the led blink over and over again. What type of brick is this and is there a fix or i have to buy a new phone please help
Are you using LMSA tool to flash? Because that's what I recommend you use. Also make sure you have the Motorola drivers installed on your computer
That is not the correct software to use while restoring this phone use Fastboot and grab the stock firmware here and match the model https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/borneo/official/ Flashing instructions are literally a Google search away.

LMSA is the official tool to use for Lenovo and Motorola devices. Although lolinet is unofficial, both are equally good tools to use to unbrick a device
