I stupidly accepted the OTA despite being rooted and unlocked etc. Now my phone is forcing the update and causing a bootloop.
How do I fix it?
Phone is Moto X Style XT1572

Would this work?

Hey all,
Having a small issue with my Verizon LG G2.
When I first got it on launch, I rooted it, installed loki (to bypass the locked boot loader) and have been running custom ROMs.
This is the way I ahve been running it since, on 12B, with loki and CM11.
Before I installed custom roms I did a image backup using Clockwork.
Yesterday I bought a Droid Turbo, so it was time to restore the G2 in preparation for sale.
I attempted to restore my original backup of the stock image, but it failed (stating something about an inability to restore/system, resulting in a soft bricked phone.
I fixed this by downloading the LG Flash tool, and the stock 24A .kdz image, putting the phone in download mode and flashing it.
The LG flash tool seemed a bit buggy, complaining about not finding servers, but eventually flashed the phone with the .kdz.
Everything seems to have worked well. Root is gone, clockwork is gone, (and I assume loki is gone as well, but I can't tell) but now I can not do the latest OTA updates, and am stuck on 24A.
It's not that it downloads the OTA, and then fails to install it, but rather it complains that it is unable to download the updates at all.
I was thinking this might have something to do with the fact that the CDMA radio is now unactivated (since I got a new phone) and it somehow needs to verify with the Verizon network prior to downloading, so I grabbed a working SIM and popped it it in. Even with 4G via the SIM, the OTA downloads don't succeed.
Does the CDMA radio need to be activated in order for a phone to receive OTA updates? If not, I ahve something else wrong going on, and would appreciate any suggestions regarding fixing it.
The plan was to sell the LG G2 to pay for my Droid Turbo upgrade, but I don't want to sell the phone to someone if I think it may be having issues.
I would appreciate any thoughts and suggestions from you guys!
HI I have just been trying to return to stock my XT1570 Motorola X Style.
Originally i unlocked the bootloader and rooted the original 5.1.1. software.
Later the OTA update came out and i cant get it as the phone is rooted.
I did have backups but have lost them now.
The boot loader is intact, the TWRP recovery is there and I can access it.
I flashed a new system using fastboot this system "fastboot_clark_retcn_ds_user_5.1.1_LPH23.145-7_7_release-keys-cid11-retcn_CN.tar" which i believe should be the correct one for China.
The phone boot normally, the warning about unlocking the bootloader and then the motorola graphics, but when all that is done the screen is just blank, the screen is obviously on, as you can see the back light, but it is in the totally black state.
Anyone got any ideas what has happened there.
I have tried flashing other roms for XT1572 and XT1575, however while they work to an extend, obviously some of the internals for the XT1570 are different, modem for instance.
Some expert help would be greatly appreciated.
My device: stock Moto X Pure Edition, never been unlocked, rooted or modified in any way
Current version: motorola/clark_retus/clark6.0/MPHS24.49-18-3/3
Status: bootloop
Back in May when the MPHS24.49-18-4 OTA was released, my phone started the install then ended up in a bootloop (again, no customization, just something got corrupted and my own bad luck). I have files on it that I need to backup, so I didn't do a factory reset to try and eliminate the bootloop. I happen to have another Moto X Pure Edition, so I thought I would just wait for the next security OTA to drop, snag the download link, and then sideload the OTA to the bootlooping Moto X. For the past 7-8 months, it's been sitting on my desk and when I saw the good Moto X get an update I was super excited. I was able to download the Jan OTA (about 40MB) and attempted to sideload via ADB to the bad Moto X.
At that point I realized the bad Moto X never finished the May (49-18-4) OTA and I'm still at 49-18-3. I've managed to find full ROMs, but I'm wondering if anyone has just the OTA to get me from 49-18-3 to 49-18-4. As I said, I don't want to do a factory reset because I haven't been able to backup some important files. Really hoping just reflashing the OTA will eliminate the bootloop (it may not, but thought I'd give it a try).
Thanks to anyone who may be able to help out.

I have Verizon Droid Turbo 2 XT1585. It is 100% stock. Not rooted or ROM'd. I took the OTA update and I am now stuck at the M bootlogo. It just keeps rebooting. I am trying to flashed " NCK25.118-10.5." file for Nougat via RSD Lite and via Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant. Still stuck on bootloop after successful flashes using both programs. ". I am just so annoyed with Motorola and this phone at this point. Ready to throw this phone at a wall. Any help would be appreciated.
Hello, i have a Moto g4 Amazon edition (XT1625) and all of a sudden, it got into a bootloop for no reason. it is not bootloader unlocked, not rooted, totally stock. so i did some research and tried some things, wiping cache, wiping data and nothing. so my next bet was to try to flash the same firmware or anything that would make the phone Boot up.
I tried flashing the 6.0 firmware, 7.0 firmware, at least, i tried 6-7 different firmware with no success (all of them said pre-validation error, like i was trying to flash a older version) but one. the only one that actually flashed, got me booting into recovery saying "this is an unauthorized sw" and that's it.
i got another exact same phone fully working and i noticed it recieved the OTA update NPJS25.93-14.7-3 and as far as i know this the December Security patch.
is there any link to download the full ROM with this update? or the September 2017?
i'm guessing those are the only firmware that could resurrect this phone right now...
Try this link for stock firmware

Thanks for the reply.
i downloaded the rom and tried flashing it without the .gpt and the bootloader.img for safety reasons...
it flashed all okay and when it booted it shows the moto logo and turns off every time i try to turn it on... if it's connected to my computer, it just reboots into boot logo.
and yes, i then tried flashing the rom with the .gpt and bootloader file and no result.
is there any way i can fix this bootloop?
this was actually the first problem the phone had, no root, no unlocked bootloader and all of a sudden went into bootloop..

Nothing has worked so far, the phone is laying like a brick for the moment.
