Cannot update to android 11 - Moto G Power Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
I have been trying for months to get my dumb Moto G power (2020) onto android 11. I know its available and my phone keeps saying I am up to date with a Jan 1 2021 patch...
I have factory reset, I have downloaded the stock image and installed it via fastboot, no dice. it wont boot after.
I have the US retail version. Anyone know why my phone cannot update? Lenovo/Mototola support gave me the crap line that not app phones get the update at the same time. Even if I cannot get Android 11m I know there are newer security patches that should be pushed out. Any ideas on next steps to figure this out?

[Q] updating problem with Nokia Lumia 920. Error code:80072ee7

Windows 8.0 phone - Good wireless connection; full battery; working Nokia and Microsoft accounts; enough empty space available; hard reset twice or more; correct time and date.
I do not receive any apps updates yet I always get an error message saying "We are currently unable to check for updates."

weird...
which version of software is on device? settings - about (version OS and firmware)
for easy check and flash latest official version of WP software you can use Nokia Software Recovery Tool, Windows 7 or 8.x is needed...
If you want to update to Preview for Developers WP8.1 version check here

is possible you have too old software and update server not recognize or give update for current phone version. you can use Nokia Software Recovery Tool to update to latest official WP8 version: 3051.40000.1349.0025 (this is latest official version of WP8.0 called "Black")... also dont forget to update Nokia system apps after software upgrade (you can use app SysApp Pusher from Store)
after if you want test version of WP8.1 via Preview for Developers, just use links from my previous post
thanks for replying. before i saw your reply i had already used Nokia Software Updater for Retail and i updated my phone's system
to firmware version: 3051.40000.1349.0002 and not 3051.40000.1349.0025 as you mentioned
and the software version is still OS 8.0 not 8.1 or other versions
when i connect to the software updater it tells me that there are no newer versions. it doesn't show the 8.1 version
8.1 not official released. You must activate Preview for Developers to install 8.1. Read my first post, there is link how to make this

thanks for your reply. Is the phone's hardware compatible with android? (jellybean)
also there's freedom.apk for android phones, is there something similar to it that would work with windows phones?
also as you may know there's "black market" for android phones that allows you to download applications for free. is there something like it for windows phones 8.0?

you cant flash android on WP devices or use apk files... is impossible... and why to go switch from horse to donkey
also no way to use black market or any other market on WP. Why you think WP OS is most secure OS without one malware or virus? because no c*ap and bogus app like on android...
if you want app for free watch for promotional period of apps.. in 3 year i collect pay software worth more than $2000... just be patient and many good apps and games can get free or for cheap price...
just use app as

P.S.
all topic about illegal/pirated stuff here on forum is forbidden, but only for info you can use max 10 pirated XAP files on developer unlocked phone (but you must pay $19/year to Microsoft for Developer unlock)...
Similar, but worse problem here.

Hello. I have a similar problem, and as you stated I believe the OS version is so old that the server does not recognize it. So I have tried several of Nokia's apps, Software Updater for Retail, Care Suite and they do recognize the phone, the software and it immediately states there is an update ready. However, when it tries to put the phone in Flash Update mode, the phone does not boot and I get an error saying there was a problem. If I disconnect the phone, press volumen-down and on buttons I can reset it and Works fine, but I am unable to do an update.
Here are the details for the phone:
Lumia 920
Country Variant PR
OS Versión 8.0.10211.204
Firmware revisión number 1232.5957.1308.0002
Radio Software version 1.0.202093.3
Firmware Update Notifier 1.1.0.3
Silent Installer 1.5.0.0
Build ID 153556
Extras+Info App Versión 3.8.1.10
I really don't know what to do. My phone hasn't even received GDR2, much less 3 and for sure it probably won't receive 8.1. Any information on how I can manually place the phone in Flash Update mode so maybe the care suite Works??? I was able, through the care suite to put in in test mode, but not in flash update mode.
Thanks in advance. Posting in the Nokia forums was absolutely no help at all. Could it be that I am doing something wrong with the care suite??? I used instructions from several sites to try to use the care suite.

Hello Anaheiim.
When the software tries to make the Nokia go into Flash Update mode, the phone stays at the NOKIA logo after rebooting. After about a minute, the application on the PC, say for example the Multisoftware Updater cancels out. In the case of Multisoftware updater, the error says : product in UEFI mode did not appear.
I can reset my phone and I get back the normal operations, but it appeas it never goes into a mode that is needed to download the software, or I don't have a driver or something similar to talk to the phone from my PC when it goes into that mode.

The difference here is that you must go into flash mode manually.

Thanks Anaheiim. I am downloading the files in the requisities section of that thread and will follow the steps carefully. On your response you state "you must go into flash mode manually". But I don't see that mentioned in the tutorial, am I missing something??? Is there somewhere I can find how to place a Lumia 920 in flash mode manually???
Thanks again, at least I see a possibility of this working now!!!

Will do Anaheiim, thanks!!! Will follow the tutorial exactly and let you know how it goes. Super helpful, thanks. After the install I will leave a donation. Again, thanks a lot I can't tell you how helpful it is to have people like you that have gone through all this!
Hello again Anaheiim, unfortunatelly it has been no luck with the method you posted. I downloaded all the components fine. I downloaded the firmware I needed. I am able to get to the point when I try to recover the phone. I turn it off, plug the USB cord (already connected to the PC) and press the volumen down-power keys at the same time until I get ONE quick vibration. I then click the retry button on the tool on the PC. It starts trying to update, the phone shows the NOKIA logo mid-screen, most of the time it reboots and it shows it again and then goes directly into the Windows Phone logo and then back in to the start menú. Otherwise it just sits at the Nokia Logo. Either way, the PC App after a few minutes tells me it can't recover. Usually no error. Tried several different USB ports. Sometimes on some ports I get this error: DTL Connection: Could not connect to media. DTL Back-End error code = 0x8400A403. DTL Back-End: Driver initialization failed. DCM status code = 0x84004415, Common USB DCM: No device found from the target USB port, last error code = 0x80070003. .
Exception..
But that's it. Doesn't ever go into Flash Update mode.

Moto 360 Firmware Images

Since there is a possibility to connect the Moto 360 2nd via USB, I bought myself a broken watch, opened the back and soldered the USB wires.
Fastboot recognized the Watch and since I am not that familiar with android flashing I thought unlocking the bootloader would be a good idea (don't ask me why - I don't know).
Now the watch is not booting normally, neither into recovery. But fastboot mode works so far...
I think I remembered that I saw a link to firmware files in the internet a few month ago and I am trying to find it for the last 2 days but no results yet.
Has someone an idea where I can find this files? I mean they are still providing updates for outdated Motos so the files should be online somewhere or am I wrong?
Or can I flash any watch recovery to my watch?
If someone wants a solderless USB possibility I may have an Idea btw but you still have to pull the plastic ring around the backside.
I think I forgot to mention that the plan is to downgrade my daily watch back to AW1.5 or 1.6
cheers
Hello,
I just found the OTA file (version: NXH19Q) for motorola 360 2nd gen on this reddit post.
I hope it works for you.
My motorola doesn't work properly either and its stuck on boot animation.
Hi,
thanks but actually I found this link myselfe and was unable to flash it because of the stock recovery.
I got rid of the bootloop by wiping data and cache two times after unlocking the bootloader.
Cheers

I'll try unlocking the bootloader, i've just made the usb cable.
Thanks
Hello,
I am trying too to downgrade my Moto 360 2nd gen (42mm) to AW 1.5 or 1.6. However, I have not found any "trusted" place to download the firmware images for those versions of Android Wear.
Also, in the reddit post mentioned by danger_tweaker, the author states that the firmware image can't be sideloaded to our devices...
I found this repository: [search on Google for "rootjunkysdl moto 360 2nd gen", I am not allowed to post links since I have just registered]
It contains some images labelled with the devices' codenames (I think that the 42mm version is "carp" and the 46mm is "smelt", I have no idea what the "bowfin" is), but I am not sure about how to proceed... I am afraid of bricking my watch.
In the meanwhile, have you made any progress?
Thank you

Moto G6 Unbrick.

Hello dear gurus.
Purchased a Motorola (Lenovo) moto G6 smartphone on the Anroid 8.0 Oreo platform.
Performed OTA security updates.After that, it was suggested to upgrade to Anrdroid 9.0 Pie.Updated.
Next, I installed a custom recovery (TeamWin Recovery Project (TWRP)) on a new loader,and created a backup system for this recovery.
Next, I tried to fill in a new custom (Amateur) firmware (ViperOS), but TWRP refused to install this firmware.
So I tried about 10 different firmware versions,including official ones that were compatible with my Moto G6 device.
In the end, through trial and error, I turned a brand-new phone into a Hard Brick.
Currently, neither the recovery, nor the system,nor even the PBL,aboot, or SBL bootloader chain is running.
The only way the phone is detected (after installing specific drivers for my device and processor) in the system is Qualcomm HS-USB Qload 9008. That is, Emergency Download mode (EDL mode).
To convert the device to SoftBrick (9006) - a light brick.I need to restore the entire loader chain, starting with the SBL of the secondary loader.
There is a special BlankFlash_PPS29.26 utility for my device (see Attachment) that runs automatically when Blank_Flash is started.bat, re-marks MBR partitions, creates a partition table, and restores the entire chain of loaders.
But there is one significant "BUT", this utility completely refuses to ReWire the chain of device loaders, giving an I/o error in the logs (see Attachment).
After talking with smart people from the forward, I realized that for a successful firmware of my device, the OTA security update is not suitable,what is in the utility later, and what is newer and more secure on the device and the singleimage configuration file.the bin located in this utility is not suitable.
If there are people who can write the correct script for .bash for my firmware and security version and embed it all directly into singleimage.bin, then please respond.
Data for unbrick 1925-5 RU_ru.
This is archive for unbrick XT1925-5 on version Android 8.0 Oreo.
Someone, help me with the development blankflash on version Android 9.0 Pie.

Question MAJOR ISSUE - touch screen not working

I just finished rooting my G Play 2021, and when I tried to tap on the screen - no response. How can I fix this? Do I need to go get it repaired? I already tried going into recovery mode and factory resetting it. This time I went into recovery mode and it said: "Can't load Android System. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perform a factory data reset and erase all data stored on this device."
What can I do??

Oh man. Considering the hella easy fix, don't let that set back halt your potential for learning and experience you'll get from rooting your device.
