I can boot into recovery with nash-recovery-eng.img, but no update via Sideload or sd possible...

Have you tried the unlock code?

Troubleshooting

OK I GOT IT!!! So I had to:

1. Find firmware from RSA
2. fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
3. fastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img
4. fastboot reboot-bootloader
5. Now RSA reads it, and I was able to do a full recovery via RSA

Maybe this isn't the right place, but is there a way to trick RSA to thinking I have the G100 so I can download the global ROM instead of the Edge S/Chinese ROM that I actually DO have?

Not that I know of.

Hello, I'm trying the LMSA tool but I have a doubt.

The current version is OPSS8.85-13-5 but the target version is OPSS8.85-17-6-2

Will this cause a problem?

How to get to the Rescue option.
The options have changed again

Boot device in to fastboot mode
Do not connect to PC till Fastboot Mode step

Spoiler: Select Rescue

Spoiler: Sign in

Spoiler: Select Fastboot Mode

Spoiler: Do not use the search for your device, just connect the phone in Fastboot mode.

Spoiler: Make sure the target firmware matches model, current version, and carrier

The option will say Download the first time, and rescue will be greyed.
Click on Download to download the target firmware.

If the firmware has already been downloaded, Rescue Now will be orange.
Click Rescue Now to install the target firmware.

Does anyone know if placing firmware in the folder to trick LMSA into installing it still works?

I've got a new Moto G Power 2020, I don't want to unlock the bootloader just yet because I might still return it. I want to upgrade to the latest Android 10 verison but I DO NOT want to upgrade to Android 11, and I'm worried letting OEM or LSMA update will move me up to 11.

Yes it works, but if bootloader is locked, do not downgrade or install a different channel.
So be sure you verify those.

New update 5.7.0.16

If using the Rescue option, just skip the Imei box and connect the device in fastboot mode.

Firmware update option

I don't have a Moto device with an update available to test.
Looks Like a Firmware update is no longer an option.
Rescue is the only way to flash the current firmware version.

(also using Moto G Power 2020)
Small correction: if the bootloader is locked, you *cannot* downgrade at all. Just tried and it failed, I had to use the original rom the thing downloaded.

What should I do now? I mean, I can unlock the bootloader, but I heard you can't truly re-lock it.
I play a game that has a security check, which an unlocked bootloader will surely trip. The game also runs like garbage on Android 11.

I really regret upgrading...

There is no other option, Unlock the bootloader if you want to downgrade.
Moto devices may not relock, it's really a guessing game on relocking the bootloader.

Hi, Ive come across this thread trying to find a solution to my unbootable moto G7 power running android 9.
I keep getting a nag screen to upgrade and always hit to remind later but yesterday hit to update by mistake. I immediately tried to stop it and failed so turned the phone off.
I then rebooted and the phone worked as normal.
I always turn it off at night but this morning it failed to boot with the message Cant load android system.etc
What I would be grateful to know is can I recover my data and if so how.
Ive installed lenovo software and file but when I run recover it says it will wipe my data which I want to avoid.
Many thanks for any help and apologize if this is in the wrong place

Your only option is to flash the firmware manually with fastboot.exe
Download the firmware with LMSA, do not select Rescue Now

The use Online FlashFile Converter to get the flash commands.

Be sure to Remove the erase userdata line if you don't want to factory reset.

Thanks for the useful advice but I think I need more help. how do i get the xms file into the converter. Ive tried copy and paste and when i drag it across I get : This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below
Edit ok i was skipping the text editor stage,ill see how i get on now but before i do,
As the phone has 6 months warranty, would it be covered for this sort of thing

I would be grateful if someone could look at the pic and tell me if i have all the required things in place if I need to go ahead with the flash or do I run the file before I copy the rom in. Does it matter what .bat file from the converter is named and would I connect the phone and click on that file to start the process ,do i need any usb drivers and if so from where. and should i also have deleted fastboot erase ddr as well as user data?
Thanks again for any help
