Question In need of assistance with downgrading. - Motorola Edge (2021)

Hello, as it currently stands i find myself in a tough situation. I recently purchased this Motorola edge 2021 as an upgrade to access my local 5g network since my old phone was on its last leg and still running on 4g, Day 1 with the phone was fine and overnight it upgraded itself to android 12.Simply put , android 12 sucks. It's hideous and looks like it was designed with the elderly in mind.( I'm only 35, not quite there yet). And on top of that my new 5g phone now wont connect to the 5g network i purchased it to work on. So now I've paid a few hundred dollars to go from 4g to 4g LTE .
I've been reading tutorials on every site i can find and downloading every program suggested to try and downgrade back to Android 11 and none of it seems to be working. I have RSD lite and the drivers required but i can't get the phone recognized when i click" show device:. Is there a detailed walkthrough as to how to downgrade this phone or am I stuck with and new paperweight?
Thanks in advance.

RSA will surely have the required drivers. The forced registration can be annoying.

RSD Lite does not work well with Windows 8/10/11
Use Windows 7 or one of the other suggestions from @ziddey's post

LG K61 SOC MTK6765 .KDZ

hello everyone, last week I bought an LG k61. I have been surprised with a .kdz with android 10 for lgup, considering that it is a SOC MT6765. I realized when opening settings, with qualcomm it is not the same. I do not want to get into discussions of whether it is better or not, only that by always using the LG V series, I am kind of lost with this. I always use LG on mobile devices. Does anyone know anything related to flashing through LGUP for this model in question?
I have managed to update to android 10 with LGUP 1.16 and the .dll 1.0.40.2 (.msi package). Before I had installed in the laptop LG bridge and the latest wqhl drivers (LG mobile drivers).

In this case I have used the upgrade option, do not use the refurbish option, due to the antiroll-back, you will make it hardbrick.

lg up shuts down at 4 percent, what is the issue?
I'm looking to change firmware. From Colombia to Mexico. Or root would be eveb better. But I'm also used to LGs that are Qualcomm. V10, V30. I'm learning but a little lost on MTKs. LGUP does shut down when it gets to 4% even though I changed the common dll. Anyone figure this out yet?

Question Phone Hard Bricked in EDL mode

Hey!
Soooooo, I tried to update my OS to the most recent while rooted, but I accidentally locked my boot loader, bricked the software, tried to unbrick it, then later got hard bricked in EDL mode. I have tried using the MSM tool for the global version of the Oneplus 9 but it always ended up saying that the image didn't match or something (IDK the thing was in F’ing Chinese). This hard brick has gotten so bad that I cant even hold Vol up + Power to hard restart it. The screen just doesn't come on any more but is still recognized by my computer as a Qualcomm device. Does anyone know of a fix that doesn't include installing the Indian loader?
Model # LE2115 (OP9 Global)
I had a whole weekend of this a few weeks ago, none of the OP9 MSM tools worked but for some reason the OP 9 Pro Global tool worked. The catch was that my phone was now formatted as a 'Pro' Variant and wasn't functional. But at this stage the correct MSM tool for my variant (LE2110) would now recognise it so I was able to restore the phone using that.
This was a long way around the problem so maybe consider it as a very last resort, someone else might have a more direct route to recorvery for you.

I had to do the same thing. I am using a LE2113 and managed to brick my phone in a way where only EDL could save it. I came from the latest OOS (colorOS) firmware and tried to flash LineageOS when everything went south. I tried to use the Oneplus 9 EU MSM tool but this one did not work for me. Since there is no official EU MSM for the LE2113 the only way I could repair it was by using the EU OnePlus 9 pro msm firmware. It only worked with the "use lite firehose" option for me. After that was done I unlocked the bootloader once again and flashed OOS (Android 11) for OnePlus 9 again. This was the way I got the original firmware back on my device although I do not think it would've been possible to relock the bootloader at this point.
Straight after that I once again flashed lineage and everything is working fine now. Certainly a shady approach but it is the end result that counts I'd say.

That's the thing though. I had the LE2115 MSM tool but it was in Chinese for some reason I have a LE2115 phone as well but it said that the files didn't match up. Maybe they uploaded the wrong variant to the website? None of the tools that I had downloaded were in English, all in Chinese.

Nothing official but I'm working on TWRP patching ramdisk. The Moto G Pure doesn't use the traditional recovery partition, so you have to replace the ramdisk recovery inside the boot.img

I tried saving the firmware to a different location and nothing happens. No matter how many times I downloadel firmware. Even with the changes location to download. Do I have to uninstall rescue and smart assistant to redownload the firmware from Rescue and Smart assistant to get boot.img. I hope to hear back

I could not find the Canadian version of the firmware in the listings. My build number is Retail or RETUS(I believe) S3RHS32.20-40-10-2. I'll have to check if that is right

can you help me? i have the same phone from same provider.
I'm trying to root my g pure so I can unlock the carrier, how do I do it without computer or credit card
My phone restarted for 2 hours and now it thinks it existed in 1969. It also now says it isn't a moto g pure but a generic android device and the serial number changed. Is there any way to encrypt the hardware so it cannot be remotely flashed again?

Any way to pull complete stock firmware?

I've been doing a lot of reading and research on rooting this phone and what not and had my OTA updates set to automatic. Well, it automatically updated last night and I meant to disable it but forgot (facepalm). I am a long-time Samsung user and have experience flashing and modding but am treading in new waters, here. I know my way around adb and fastboot but am completely unsure how these Motorolas work in that department. IS there anyway I could pull and create the stock firmware for my 5G One Ace? Or do I need to wait for lolinet to release it? They have the previous version, TMO_11_RZKS31.Q3-45-16-3-3, I'm on Q3-45-16-3-4. Thank you in advance to anyone who has any info.
