I purchased a mytouch 4g running on 2.3.4 and software number 2.19.531.1 of a craigslist. It was already rooted when i purchased. I want tk update it but it wont let me. Im not too familiar with the device. Once i download the update and attempt to install it stops halfway and shows a dead android.. My guess is cwm isnt letting it update. Suggestions please?
Suggestion: stickies, find INDEX, read "return to stock".
Or just install a good custom ROM instead. And a good recovery too.
So yesterday I picked up my brand new moto x pure.
I unlocked it no problem using the guide on Motorola site no problem here.
I then installed twrp without any hitches.
I then decided to install supersu which then bricked my phone, me panicking I then decided to wipe the device (including the OS and recovery) so now I am stuck with a very expensive paper weight.
I have tried connecting to the phone with adb but all I get is no devices found.
If anyone can help me fix my phone be it through pm or Skype or w.e. I will happily throw some money there way just because it is urgent I get my phone up and running.
Oh yeah and my moto x is the unlocked international version as I live in the uk.
Sorry of this is in the wrong place but I really am not sure what else to do.

Boot into bootloader.
fastboot devices
Should return device connected just like you did unlocking bootloader and flashing recovery.
Flash recovery through fastboot.
Flash rom through recovery (mtp, otg, from device sdcard, etc)
If you have mm bootloader, it's mfastboot.
mxpe 6.0

I have bricked my Droid OG, Droid 2, and Droid Turbo just tell Motorola you didnt want the most recent OTA update and you accidentally installed it, but you were happier with the stock image and you would like to go back to that image. Then they will send you a shipping label and they will fix your phone in about a week turn around. Motorola is pretty good about this, dont mention your phone bootloader is unlocked just say its not booting up and you want the stock image back.
Otherwise go here. and download all the items in the description, then just go step by step
Good Lucky. Hope this helps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6avEPGWB8E0

Exactly how is firmware for the droid turbo going to help the OP with a moto x pure??
Might really end up with a hard brick after that
To the OP, I hope you recorded your system version number from the about screen before starting down this path. If not, grab the marshmallow ota firmware from one of the threads.

I followed some tutorial in this site https://goo.gl/fz0bIx and now i can't fix the wi-fi mac address (appears as 02:00:00:00:00) and it can't find the wifi networks
Can anyone help me?
Please tell what you have flashed

I followed the tutorial and flashed this: https://dl.twrp.me/athene
followed the next steps on the tutorial and flashed this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3TKzy1UugHNT1RvNURsWmRoMVk/view
and then installed the supersu as described there: https://download.chainfire.eu/751/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip
The wifi does not work (gives me the strange address) and i don't know if this is related to a corrupted /persist partition. The wifi folder inside it has no files.
----
I think the issue may be related to this (not sure tho): the ROOT files are for "athena 1641/1643" model. I have "athene 1626" model.
If it is related to the files i pointed above, how do i fix it? Is Returning to stock rom the right way?
----
DTV module is faulty too. Probably the thing i flashed corrupted it too.
I have the same problem!
May I make the claim that there's no working root available for Moto G4? I had this problem as well.
I jumped from Moto G1 to Moto G4 a couple of weeks ago. I tried to root it immediately after I received my device. I came across with several posts talking about the rooting process. By following those instructions, I got a clean backup after installing TWRP and before doing anything else. Then I tried to install SuperSU for a couple of times with different versions from 2.36 to the latest one 2.74 - NONE of them worked. It left you a non-bootable Moto G4. it stopped at the Moto logo - no animation of changing to Lenovo logo. I have to restore my phone over and over again.
Suddenly, I found the one posted above and flashed the modified boot.img. It can boot the device. However, before I tried to check if the root was successful or not, I noticed the wifi problem. Then I realised that the modified boot.img might be ONLY suitable for Moto G4 Plus (I don't know if it really works, I have not G4 Plus to test - it's just a guess!). So I make a full restore and get the wifi working now.
That's my attempts on rooting Moto G4 till now. If anyone has a working root, please tell us the process.

I did not make a backup (stupid, i know). I'm trying to find a rom that works but had no success. The one i've found is giving me an error in twrp. I just want to get it back to original :/

Try to search in this page: wwwDOTfilefactoryDOTcom/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=100
Remember that our Moto g4 is XT1622. there're some on that page. I did download them in case something went wrong while rooting. but i never flash them - thanks to the backup. There's one said XT1622 specifically in the file name but it also said TESCO. I'm not sure if it's for TESCO network only or not - better to try. Someone mentioned that the file 'XT1621-XT1622-XT1642_ATHENE_MPJ24.139-23.4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip' contains the XT1622 image and thought to be correct as it appears in the file name. I also tried 'mfastboot.exe getvar all' before the modification. The saved txt file from that command has the same version information: Athene 6.0.1, MPJ24.139-23.4.
Anyway, try to get the stock rom and flash it. Reboot to see if the wifi worked. If so, fastboot and flash TWRP and that's it - do not proceed any further. For the time being, we have to be patient for a working root method on Moto G4. I just cannot understand why people are writing some 'INSTRUCTION' they don't know if it worked or not.

I'll search this site. My phone box says XT1626 (Brasil version with DTV)
Update:
Flashed the 1626 version from the site using mfastboot and this sequence: This Post
Now it seems to be working fine (gotta test DTV. It found the channels but my signal is bad so...)
WIFI is alive and well ^^

Just flashed the entire XT1626 firmware using the sequence i posted above. No issues at all. Phone working completely fine
Help!
I have the same Issue, my MAC-Adress shows some bull***t and my WiFi wont show anything. I already tried to flash two different XT-1622 ROM's but it did NOT help me at all. I now will also try to flash the XT-1626 ROM, hoping that it will somehow fix my device. If anyone who sees this has an idea how to fix this or encountered the same problem and already fixed it, please notify me.
Thank you.
EDIT:
Turns out, that I am the biggest retard and not worth living on this world anymore.
I always executed the different ROM-Flashes by using the default batch-file given by the "how to reset" post creater... But instead of putting it in the core directory of the extracted zip i just put it in the mfastboot folder. Ofcourse, it executed very fast, i couldnt read the error codes, but my device always just resetted itself, and restarted. I thought it already was a new rom flashed, but it actually was the same over and over again. Now i found out, flashed one xt-1622 rom and its back up, working
God I feel stupid now.

I cant actually look at the box, because I dont know where it is right now. I am actually pretty sure it was an XT-1622.
There is a tag on the phone's battery. Model is in there too. What country are you?
or you can use the command I posted above: mfastboot.exe getvar all
there's a line said something like: (bootloader) sku: XT1622
that's the model. it's better to make backup and record as many information as possible before doing any modifications.
Hi, i have same problem. Please, can you tell me any way around not installing stock rom again or another custom rom to see if it has wifi fixed or if all fails, install stock rom
Please any way to fix the wifi problem?

Where do you see this bogus address?
I;ve unlocked and rooted 2 Moto G4 XT1625 phones that show this bogus address in a wifi widget I use on my home screen. I don;t seem to have a problem connecting to wifi. When I go to Settings about phone status I see the correct address
I used to see it on the advance settings in wifi.. however, I like Android so I play alot with it if you ever get any problem make sure you have a stock mpj or npj Rom with fastboot flash compatibility. And flash all the. Image sparse chunk :good:
After updating to Nougat, the bogus 02:00:00:00:00:00 address still displays on my wifi widget but displayed correctly in settings. No problem getting connected to wifi networks.

Got stuck somewhere while installing TWRP on my Moto G5 plus, but I couldn't. So tried to flash the Stock rom for Moto G5 plus-XT 1686 NPN25.137-35.
I had installed the NPN25.137-35_recovery.img Android recovery.
Tried using fastboot for installing stock rom:
1st - POTTER_AMZ_NPN25.137-35_cid18_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
2nd - POTTER_NPN25.137-35_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
In both cases, after the last step of reboot, the bootloader warning screen appears for about 10-15 seconds, then again the same, and then Erasing and the circle appears and this cycle goes on repeat.
Please suggest me how do I install the ROM and get my phone alive again.
P.S. Please be kind enough and explain in easy terms because this is the first time I tried to do all these things.

Some information would be helpful. Have you been on any custom ROM and if yes which one?
Are you sure the mentioned firmware is the correct one?
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Is or was your device rooted with magisk or SuperSU?

Is this the right place to post about my mistake with a second generation AFTV? If not could you point me in the right direction?
Thank you
Ok I have seen a few people have viewed this and no one has said Im in the wrong place.
My AFTV 2nd gen is now stuck on the white Amazon logo. This happen after I tried to wipe the device which had teamwin 3.0.0.0-5 on it. I was trying to upgrade the OS to the last upgrade, in hidsight I should have left it alone.
??? - Is the device now DOA or bricked. I am hoping this is an opportunity to learn and take advanctage of my situtuion. Any suggesions at this point will be greatly appriecated. I have tried to search the forum, but I don't think I know enough currently to start.
TIA
