there was an adb fix for this on moto g power, does anyone have expirience

I feel like mentioning i have a los build with that fixed and is more updated to the november security patch although there are currently problems with getting GApps to work with it.
Hi I have q couple questions l. I know generally you need to have a stock rom installed before installing a custom one. Which is exactly what I did before installing my current rom, ArrowOS.
So my question is can i install LOS or other AOSP-like roms from arrow-os?
Also can I install a Android 11 build from motorola directly from TWRP?
And could i potentially install a custom rom after running Motos Android 11 build without going back yo android 10?

I ended up on a screen that says "No valid opereting sytstem found" in red text
to anyone that somehow ended with a bricked phone like me, connect your phone in fastboot mode, download motorola's Rescue & Smart Assistant program (on PC) then download the firmware for the phone, once it downloads the firmware don't click on Rescue yet, instead flash gpt.bin (in fastboot) from the firmware you just downloaded. You should be able to flash stuff now, and you could restore the phone back to stock with the program

I was running LineageOS 17.1 with my G8 Power (sofiar, XT2041-3). It's been a while, so I recovered to original Motorola Firmware with Android 11:
XT2041-3_SOFIAR_RETEU_11_RPES31.Q4U-47-35-11_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
It works so far (full Android 11 OEM experience), but I wanted to try LineageOS 18.1. I'm running TWRP 3.5.0.0 and every time I try to wipe data, it complains that operation has failed and that it wasn't able to wipe the data. It is very similar to what's here (except I see the errors in TWRP):
Was anybody able to get past that?

Hi all,
I'm also running a G8 Power with LineageOS 17.1 from XDA. I would like to move to 18.1 and I found this website with instructions: https://www.getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-17-1-moto-g8-power/
Two questions:
1. Will this work? (I already have TWRP)
2. In the download the ROM section, there are many many directories with files. In the latest directory (18.1 2022-02-21) there are two files: lineage-18.1-20220221-UNOFFICIAL-FASTBOOTD-sofiar.zip and lineage-18.1-20220221-UNOFFICIAL-sofiar.zip. Which do I use?
Or, are the instructions here a better idea?
Thanks!

I think you're confusing this rom (sjll's) and PH4N70M's.
I've recently switched over over to phantoms.
It was a bit of an ordeal. I bricked my phone a number of times while switching up. I lost all my settings.
but I'm pretty sure I installed TWRP to recovery_a 'fastboot flash recovery_a twrp-sofiar-rav.img"
then I booted to twrp
I think i switched to b (so I could install a rom to a. see note below)
then i installed phantoms rom
switched to a (to install gapps and magisk)
rebooted to recovery
installed GAPPS and magisk
reboot to success
like I said. I bricked the thing a number of times in the update. It's possible I installed everything to b by doing the rom install from a. But I'm pretty sure I'm on a.
I wish I could be more help.
But after writing all that I realize you're on a power while I'm on a fast. If you just follow the guide in phantoms thread and you should be good.
Eek! Moto G8 Power user here, and I did this and now phone wont boot or be recognized by adb... Please help! I will be too grateful!

Here's a little help for y'all having problem trying to flash the rom
This phone is a little different to flashing stuff to it, which i found out the bad way lol so here's a quick guide so you have a higher chance to flash the rom without any issue! (I dont guarantee it'll work, its something i tested and worked all the times i flashed roms to my poor phone lol)
I'd strongly recommend you do a clean install (Factory reset from stock Android 10) and backup your important stuff before you do lol
Do the first steps
A mistake i made in the begining is that after i flashed the recovery i decided to boot the phone back to the stock rom which caused a brick, so after you flash the recovery.img there's no turning back (Use the recovery tool that motorola gives so you can restore your device to stock if the phone fails to boot or flashing returns with an error, but make sure its on fastboot, not fastbootd when you plug your phone to the computer to restore it)
Continue the steps and
when you get to flashing the images
Simply flash the product.img before the system.img
Like this
fastboot set_active a
fastboot flash:raw boot boot.img
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot erase metadata
fastboot flash product product.img
fastboot flash system system.img
I suppose that the product.img has the data that the phone needs so it knows where the system.img files belong to or how to divide them to the right spots so it doesn't return with the "Not enough space" error (Dunno im kinda a noob at that)
And boom!
Also you can do this with every rom you try for this phone
always flash product.img before system.img
I had the most luck out of it with it lol, Enjoy!1
Some kernel modules of other Moto sm6125 devices are not included, so some hardware doesn't work.1I ended up on a screen that says "No valid opereting sytstem found" in red text
