I have the 7.14 version of this ROM. With minor exception, all works as expected. The exceptions include: wifi calling. This doesn't work at all. Also, the voicemail icon indicator doesn't appear.

Wonder if any of these has been addressed since 7.14?

Does anyone succeeded to install TWRP and flash this rom with android 11? I have Moto G Power 2020 XT2041-4 with stock rom Q1-54-13.3-7 android 11. I tried to flash TWRP but when I touched the screen there is nothing happen. I read the command and someone said it's not compatible for android 11. I tried to flash back to android 10 without succeeded.

Does anyone succeeded to install TWRP and flash this rom with android 11? I have Moto G Power 2020 XT2041-4 with stock rom Q1-54-13.3-7 android 11. I tried to flash TWRP but when I touched the screen there is nothing happen. I read the command and someone said it's not compatible for android 11. I tried to flash back to android 10 without succeeded.
From my experience, I had to flash back to stock android 10 before installing this rom. My device is a Moto G Power 2020 XT2041-1 with twrp-3.5.0-0 as recovery. This is what I did (step 1 then steps 2b.1 to 2b.9) to flash crdroid 7.19 on my device.

1. Revert to stock a10: I followed this guide to revert to stock a10.

2. From stock a10 to crdroid:

I have 2 options

2a. Using fastbootd mode with an img zip package: instructions are on page 1 of this thread

OR

2b. Using twrp mode with a zip package containing META-INF folder, care_map.pb, payload.bin, payload_properties.txt

This is what I did to flash straight to crdroid v7.19

2b.1 Reboot device into fastbootd mode
code: fastboot reboot fastboot

2b.2 Flash twrp permanently
code:
fastboot flash recovery_a twrp.img
fastboot flash recovery_b twrp.img

2b.3 Reboot to bootloader
code: fastboot reboot bootloader

2b.4 Enter recovery (twrp) mode

2b.5 Wipe Dalvil / Art Cache

2b.6 Install zip package (containing META-INF folder, care_map.pb, payload.bin, payload_properties.)

2b.7 Reboot to Recovery: STILL ON TWRP press Home > Reboot > Recovery

2b.8 Format data

2b.9 Reboot system

That's it. You can refer to this short clip before going ahead with your device.

So far I am very happy with crdroid 7.19 (a11). I have tried blissrom v17.0 (a14) for one day, but decided to revert to crdroid v7.19. While blissrom v17.0 worked smoothly on my device, I did not like its UI & customization. One big step-back is that fingerprint does not work on blissrom v17.0.

In my opinion, crdroid's UI & customization is very user-friendly and sophisticated. I have tried gravitybox with crdroid, but finally decided to uninstall it as I found crdroid was good enough to basically do what gravitybox could.

Thanks for reading this long post!

    I don't remember what the exact errors were, but I did have a number of them. I took the ostrich approach and ignored the errors... and the phone booted fine.

    You made me laugh! :)

    Ok, I did that and to my surprise - it booted fine! Working on passing safety net with Magisk now. I really appreciate your help and hope this convo helps others going forward. Thank you!

    Thank you for the reply. I see this is for the "Lenovo Moto G Stylus", yet this thread is for the "Moto G Power" (which is what I have). I'm cautious when flashing ROMs, so just want to double-check....
    Yes, it works for the Moto G Power as well. The OP's link was also for the Stylus; the same question was asked and answered in post #4. I have the XT2041-4 and have run the 7.4 and 7.5 ROMs from the download page I referenced. 7.5 has been my daily driver for a while now, and haven't experienced any issues.

    Ok so I am so frustrated with this Moto G power , If anyone can please tell me what I am doing wrong...I have rooted and ran mutliple custome roms since back in the Jelly bean days but I have always been able to do all the fundamentals of owning root and making the most of my phone.. You guys have always been helpful . SO when i attempt flash a custom rom through adb folder ( because I think you cannot flash custom roms with twrp at all) attemtp to follow your instructions to the T
    but every time after install of custom , and thats any custom rom i try to boot it up for first time , prior to re-twrping, adding gapps, or magisk rooting and it literally just stays on the new rom animation for hours until i give up and I have to rescue it with lenovo'S rescue tool . Any help would be awesome ?
    I also had the same problem. You will get the ROM animation forever if you are already on Android 11. You must go back to Android 10 in order for CrDroid to boot properly. Just follow the instructions:

    Flashing:
    1. Extract the zip and open a shell with ADB and fastboot.
    2. Reboot your device into fastbootd mode.
    Code:
    fastboot reboot fastboot
    3. Flash boot, system, product, and vbmeta.
    Code:
    fastboot set_active a
    fastboot flash boot boot.img
    fastboot flash system system.img
    fastboot flash product product.img
    fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
    4. Wipe userdata.
    Code:
    fastboot -w

    I used the file:

    CrDroid-v7.6-20210519-Sofiar-Gapps-IMG.zip

    Gapps are included in this file.

    Thanks to everybody that helped me out. I hope this helps someone else.

    Here's what worked for me on 2041-4 using a gnu-linux box (there were some permissions gotchas):
    0. power up a new out-of-the-box moto g power 2041-4. Follow prompts. Motorola Software Update will automatically download a system update and prompt reboot, after which Motorola Software Update will once again automatically download a system update and prompt reboot.

    1. become developer, enable usb debugging and OEM unlocking; power off, start fastboot mode (hold volume down and power buttons), and connect phone to (linux) box with usb C cable.

    2. visit https://accounts.motorola.com/ and follow instructions to unlock bootloader. Reboot and make sure to enter set up a security pattern, become developer, and enable usb debugging. Motorola Software Update will download and install system update (in my case QPMS30.80-51-8). Reboot to complete installation.

    3. (This step #3 will provide a backup of the stock system; skip step #3 if you don’t want such a backup.)
    a. Power off and restart fastboot mode.
    you@linux:~$ fastboot boot /path-to/twrp.img
    (in my case twrp-3.5.0-0-rav-sofia.img).
    b. Unlock phone’s TWRP screen with your pattern, then backup the Data partition; Super partition; and the rest of the partitions; separately in three backups.
    c. reboot and move the TWRP folder from internal storage to a removable sdcard.

    Note 1: on my device, there were two Super partitions listed: Super (9312 MB) and Super (System, Product, Vendor) (9312 MB); I just backed up the former.
    Note 2: you must backup the Super partition to internal storage, it will fail if backed up directly to an external sdcard!!

    4. Enter fastbootd mode as follows:
    a. enter fastboot mode (with power off, hold volume down and power buttons)
    b. choose ‘recovery mode’ from fastboot menu, press power button to choose.
    Note: the recovery screen displays an android icon with a red warning triangle and the text “No command”. This is not an error!
    c. hold power button 3 seconds then vol up 2 or 3 seconds then release
    d. you see a menu: select enter fastboot with volume keys and power button
    e. you see a screen with “fastbootd” in red at the top of the screen
    f. connect usb cable to computer

    5. unzip your ROM and cd /ROMdirectory
    you@linux:/ROMdirectory$ cd /ROMdirectory
    you@linux:/ROMdirectory$ fastboot set_active a
    you@linux:/ROMdirectory$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
    you@linux:/ROMdirectory$ sudo fastboot flash system system.img
    Note: the above command fails if invoked as normal user!
    you@linux:/ROMdirectory$ fastboot flash product product.img
    you@linux:/ROMdirectory$ fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
    you@linux:/ROMdirectory$ fastboot erase userdata

    6. reboot phone & setup

    7. root
    you@linux:~$ adb push Magisk-21.4.zip /storage/yourSDcard/
    you@linux:~$ adb reboot bootloader
    you@linux:~$ fastboot boot twrp-3.5.0-0-rav-sofia.img

    Now, from phone’s TWRP screen, install Magisk zip (& gapps or micro_g if you want?)

    Hope that helps!
