Root folder filling up, missing downloads - Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers

Just bought a refurb Moto G7 Power International unlocked GSM version. Went through setup, installed updates, and started using. For the 1st time in years, I am going unrooted. Currently don't have an SD card installed.
My issues are:
1. In any file manager app, it shows Root being 87% full. Not sure what to do about this. Is it common?
2. Where are my downloads going? If I am in Messages or FB Messenger and save, it goes where it should. If I go to the Google search bar, find an image and long press download, I get the downloading, downloading complete messages. I can then open it from the notification bar, but can't find it using a file manager. It isn't in the Downloads folder. I have tried searching across the entire device for .jpg, or whatever is downloaded. Nothing.

[Q] I lost my phone signal!

hey guys, today I received my Nexus 5, I tried an AOSP rom, but gps did't work, so I used "Nexus 5 restore" found somewhere here (in a 3ad with title ending with "dead or alive").
After this u ran CF-auto-root and I had no problem, I installed some apps like Lightflow, a sidebar and other simple thing I always used.
After this I installed TWRP for try a theme: I did "fastboot erase cache", "fastboot flash recovery twrp" and then erase cache again. I used TWRP file manager for find the zip theme file, I moved it into TWRP/theme renaming it ui.zip.
I rebooted my phone and then, while I was using my pc I noticed display was turned on (maybe I touched it for check notification, but I don't think) and looking at it i noticed I had no signal.
I tried to switch my SIM cards with my Htc One X, other phone still working, N5 still doesn't working.
I tried flashing D821 modem (my version) but with no success. If I try to select the provider inside android setting it still loading, trying to select band by "*#*#4636#*#*" secter menu I have the same result.
Can you help me pls?
P.S.: I have H3g Italy
EDIT: I also noticed I lost my languages from SwiftKey beta (ok, it is a beta, but it still working on my HOX, instead here I can't download languages again neither), and a notification saying something is trying to login to my google account, but if i click, it just disappear (I installed haxsync for facebook photos inside contact and maybe is it, but i don't think)
awesome...cleared Google Play Services data, no more error...tried to download a game, Play Store crashed and now i still having crash advice each time i close it...

"app_user_10035" ? wants root during Google play updating programs CONCERNED

"app_user_10035" ? wants root during Google play updating programs CONCERNED
Hello,
I have a tab 7.7 running pa. I only have a few programs that need root (titanium backup, adaway, goomanager).
Now what happened just this afternoon is that while I was selecting which of my programs I want to update (as I don't want to use the update all button), A SU window pops up showing simply the name "app_user_10035". I was not using a program that needs root at the time, nor was I starting one up. I was only pressing the pdate button for a select few apps.
The free version of su does not show logs so no filename or anything is shown. Will updating show the log or is logging simply off in the free version and is the entry gone? Might want to go that way to find out the file name.
Google shows zero results for "app_user_10035". Is this an internal naming system that Android uses that can be traced back?

Marshmallow update failing

6045l downloads the update fine but once it starts the update, the phone reboots (shows the startup screen) then goes blank (LCD is backlit but nothing on it). It sits like that for a few minutes before apparently shutting off. Restarts fine but update then can't be verified and had to download all over again. Did this like 10 times yesterday. I guess I can do a factory reset but was really hoping to avoid it for now.
the same probleme man and i don't know why
try using the mobile upgrade q 5.0.0
Doesn't the mobile upgrade q also essentially perform a factory reset? I'll give it a shot once I have time to reinstall everything.

Use the Mobile Update Q to reset back to stock if you're rooted and want to update. If you're rooted you won't be able to install MM update.

Or temporally unroot in supersu and upgrade to MM. That's how I did it. You will lose root though, since fast boot commands have been disabled in MM from Alcatel.

I read about that and was a bit disappointed, but that's normal. I have the 6045o so I've got a while to wait.
Encrypted
I too am having this issue.
I suspect that recovery cannot access the update file as it was downloaded to the encrypted portion of the device.
The workaround I've seen elsewhere is to use adb sideload, which is fine (Alcatel even makes it easy to get that far!) but I have yet to find the update.zip file that gets downloaded in order to sideload it.

I am on the same boat. I would like to sideload it because whenever I do use the system update, it updates for a few a minute or two. The status bar gets to about 30% or so and it refuses to go further. It then proceeds to put me into the recovery menu. So if anyone can find the update boot image for MM, that would be really helpful. I've considered rooting my phone again to get CM 13 but the only version I can find is an unofficial release and supposedly it won't read your SIM card as a huge bug.
I've unrooted my device just to get this MM update. Not really sure what the problem is other than it creating an issue with the current boot image or a faulty kernel
Upgrade will not resume
The upgrade download began. The green circle with the green arrow appeared showing how much was downloaded. It froze at 92%. This may have occurred because I did not have enough storage space to download the full upgrade. I uninstalled several apps to create space. I am now showing 1.20 gb available space. Is that enough?
After a reboot, the formerly green circle and the arrow are now red. The circle is 92% complete. The message (in red) instructs me to press the arrow inside the circle to resume. When I do that, I am returned to the "About phone" menu in Settings. I am unable to cause the download to resume.
What should I do next?
Thank you.

The update itself is 1.2GB. I would free up some more space.

Downloading .apk files

First a word of thanks to all who have assisted. I have managed to to flash TWRP (latest 3.2 version and TWRP app); install KitKass 7.2.1 and gapps pico. The dock keyboard and a USB mouse work. :highfive:
The setup file would not run; kept shutting down. I restored the system from a nandroid to get around this issue.
I set up & configured my network connection and Kat Browser . All seems good.
1. As best a I can determine downloading .apk files does not work. The .apk website: APK4Fun web site displays a downloading XYZ.apk message. I do not see a download progress bar. Probably not looking in the right spot.
2. After what seems like a reasonable interval (5-10 minutes) checking Internal Storage Download and SD Card Download folders shows no content. Download location set to: /storage/emulate/0/Download. Does this correspond to the internal storage download file? Stumped once again.
3. Should I install Play store? How?

Weird App behaviour after upgrade to 11

Hello
Info:
Updated recently to 11 using full factory image with wipe (with - w flag).
Rooted with Magisk (canary update channel, see images)
Patched clean boot file and flashed with fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
All good.
Problem: trying to open a .docx file from storage with M$ Word. Screen goes black and phone restarts. On first restart I get the dreaded "cannot load android system - try again or factory reset. Luckily try again does boot my phone.
Attempted solution: remove and reinstall word - click uninstall -" the app wasn't found in the list of installed apps" - see image.
Went to play store to reinstall - only have "open" button - when clicked, screen goes black and back to "cannot load android system" screen ?
Any ideas/advice much appreciated
Many thanks
*Update*
Couldn't resolve via normal methods -
Used App Inspector (UBQSoft) from playstore to see if M$ Word showed up in there and it did:
From there, clicked the cog wheel to go through to "App Info" screen and was able to successfully uninstall from there.
Installed the Office full suite as a work around and am now able to open the document as needed.
Any thoughts or info still appreciate - especially if anyone has had a similar bug, even with different apps.
Many thanks ?
Further Update
So, I've gone back to the same document about an hour after being able to open it - same prob, screen goes black, phone restarts to "cannot load android system - try again or factory reset"
Tried open again from within Files,
got message "none of you apps can open this file"
I have office installed - see images.
I think I'm going to go back to Android 10 - this is quite the inconvenience for the time being
Not sure if it's 11, Magisk or kernel (using the latest EXKM)
but it's system UI that keeps crashing - I cleared out storage and cache as I am currently unable to uninstall Office, even via App Inspector.
*Solved*
Removed one of my Outlook/Micro$oft accounts to which Word and Office were both previously syncing - removed Office via playstore Uninstall button and rebooted phone.
Tested opening the same document both from Files, SolidExplorer and from within Word, opens for editing no probs and performs as expected.
Root and EXKM still installed and fine.
Sorry for multiple updates, just thought it might be useful for anyobe with similar issues.
