Thought I Bricked a XT2041-4 Moto G Power 2020 Mobile Phone ...

... Until I downloaded the Motorola Mobile USB drivers, reboot into fastboot by holding down power and volume down buttons, opened a command window in the folder C:\Users\[my user name]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools and typed "fastboot -w" followed by "fastboot continue".

I can't find a TWRP recovery image for this model. Do I dare install https://en-us.support.motorola.com/app/softwarefix? No not worth the hidden ware. I have other rooted devices.

Dragon OS Live USB

After using "diskpart" in Windows 11 to clean and format the USB drive, let's see if this works:

...The answer is yes. The peristence option on Rufus creates a device called "casper-rw", which allowed me to create a small text folder in Noble note and save it under the "live" user. It is still there after shutdown and reboot from live USB".

Now the phone is unlocked with ./fastboot oem unlock

ADB command and Conflict with Android Studio

There are others likely experiencing this when trying to run ADB devices.

I have found that since I am an Android developer on W.A.R., I could not simply run ADB in Windows 11 without first opening the Android Studio project. Windows 11 is probably not handling the Samsung A20 device drivers very well.
