In this guide, we’ll be sharing the easy steps to install the Motorola XT2041-4 (Moto G Power) firmware flash file. As an open-source platform, Android devices do come with plenty of customization options which can also lead to bricking or stuck in the boot loop issue due to unsupported file flashing or even improper flashing steps. Needless to say that most Android users want to heavily customize their devices via flashing third-party firmware files or rooting.
In some cases, the device performance may become slow, starts lagging, networking issues, etc. So, installing the stock firmware on your Motorola Moto G Power (codenamed sofia) device will bring back a stable life like before.

error: cannot load ‘userdata’: No such file or directory
nancy@dahlia:~/phones/sofia/ROMs/Sofia_retail_QPMS30.80-6-8-3$ fastboot flash erase ddr
