"(bootloader) Preflash validation failed" - Moto G4 Plus - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers
My Moto G4 Plus has now no OS installed on it. I'm currently following a site (Stock Firmware of Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus) to flash it back to stock. Right now i'm stuck at the last step (I skipped step 5 just to be sure of that each command is working). 1st command was working, but then 2nd command is got this:
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.000s]
writing 'partition'...
(bootloader) Security version downgrade
(bootloader) Image primary_gpt failed validation
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.053s
C:\adb>
Seems like this has been happening to older Moto G version (like Moto G 3 Gen, Moto E).
Can anybody help me, i'm really stuck and can't get anything to work. :crying:

Apparently you're trying to downgrade or install the wrong version of the firmware. The firmware has exactly to meet the version of your phone. So, for instance, for an XT1642 you flash software for an XT1642 and not for an XT1644. Read carefully and flash every file one by one in the exact order. And be sure your bootloader is unlocked.

Your downloaded ROM is 6.0.1_MPJ24.139-13.1 , and its too old, which means you are downgrading firmware version.
Downgrading of gpt and bootloader is not possible, also it may cause problems to you.
Download latest firmware and flash it..
Hello. Edit your "flash.xml" from firmware and delete line related to "gpt.bin".
Reflash your firmware with rsdlight using flash.xml

From the looks of it you used the blankflash for the B1:06 bootloader. The reason you're getting the pre-flash validation error is that the MPJ24.139-63 firmware is too old to flash onto your device (that's the Marshmallow 6.0 July 2016 patch, not the latest unless you're wanting Marshmallow), whereas you have at least the June 2017/Sept 2017 bootloader on your device.
I would strongly recommend you flash the latest stock ROM we have, which is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 You can either flash the NPJS25.93-14-13 firmware as in the main post, or towards the end of the post, there are links for NPJS25.93-14-18 (April 2018 security patch): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76416801&postcount=785
If you really want to use Marshmallow, you could in theory flash without flashing GPT and bootloader, but you must not use OTA updates. If you want to update, you need to flash stock firmware.
If you want MM... YOU should 1st flash latest nougat... And then.. Boot into twrp don't flash it.. Just boot... And then wipe system, dalvik, data, cache.. And then flash MM.. without flashing gpt.bin and bootloader..
And as suggested by @echo92 you should not take any OTAs.. You'll brick your device..
flash was succesfully done by following your steps (BIG THANKS FOR THAT)
but phone is not turning on after reboot
it comes with motorola logo and then it will automatic turn of and now only led was blinking
and when i press power + volume up button at 1 minute then motorola logo was reappear and
then the same process was happening
and in device manager it was showing qualcomm loader 900 or something like this i didn't remember
what is the solution

Hmm, is this with a locked bootloader or unlocked bootloader?
What steps did you use, just for clarification? Did you flash the stock ROM with or without re-locking instructions?
Are you able to boot to the bootloader still (using power and volume down whilst your device is powered off)?
I am sending you a video after flashing my moto g4 plus xt1643
It was like bootloop happening
This is a link that i uploded on youtube after flashing

From the video I see no bootloader unlocked screen, which suggests your bootloader is locked.
Can you confirm if you performed all the flashing steps and they were reporting [okay]? A locked bootloader is quite strict and will not let you boot with custom firmware or stock firmware from other builds (must be the same build). I'd recommend booting to the bootloader and reflashing the stock ROM again. Please keep the log and look for any errors. At this stage I would forget marshmallow and focus on flashing the latest stock Nougat ROM.
If a reflash does not work, you may have a hardware error which only a service centre can fix. A boot loop with a locked bootloader suggests either a bad flash or bad hardware.
[FIX]Just restore from a twrp backup

So i had the same problem with you, had tried to solve it for 12 hours straight and FINALLY I found a solution: search the internet for a TWRP backup and restore your phone to it. I managed to find one, but i have a z2 play. Hope you can find one as well.
i was downloaded latest firmware of moto g4 plus as you given a link of download now it was showing with this message

If you have root with systemless flashing boot.img, then wifi will not work, you need flash original boot and you will not be root, actual solution for rooting, is for europe roms.
help please brick bootloader.
I was using Resurrection Remix 7.1.1 Then I decided to install ElementalX.
I noticed that the unit was heating up.
Today when I woke up the device did not start anymore, it stayed on a black screen.
I decided to find a solution here in the forum.
I found this tip:
Https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/solved-unbrick-hard-bricked-dead-t3585016
The device is back on again.
But I can not revert to stock rom.

Was the above flashing tested with the GPT.bin from the 93-14 stock ROM file that you have? As you've noted, you can't downgrade your GPT (though at the moment we have no GPT or a corrupted partition table), so if you haven't, try flashing with the latest GPT.bin we've got access to. You may also like to re-try with the blank flash and procedure from this post:https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71405834&postcount=23

When it says "downgrade" then it really sees itself higher than the file version you are trying to flash! Really weird. Since you already tried gpt.bin of NPJ25.93-14 I cannot advise you to try the gpt.bin of the latest OTA NPJ25.93-14.4: if it works it would only prove that you have hope, but you won't be able to proceed further because OTA packages do not include fastboot flashable bootloader and boot images (else I would have used them myself to get out of CID = 0xDEAD problem of my older dead XT1642) If it does not work, however, it would only tell that something really awkward happened to your phone. Can't even tell if it would be a bad blankflash for your model?!

Click to collapse This is trivial, but please triple check what you're trying to flash. I've got this errors on older Moto Gs (the G 2015 to be specific) because I used a firmware for the 1GB version against the 2GB version. Verify carefully.
@ricardomilena Just wanted to confirm whether you installed 93-14-4 update. If you did you'll have to wait till 93-14-4 images are available. If you didn't took that update then 93-14 bootloader & gpt should work. First flash gpt then flash bootloader then reboot to bootloader & finally you can flash all stock image as usual: Code: fastboot flash partition gpt.bin fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img fastboot reboot-bootloader PS- See if you get success with the below attached gpt.bin it's from the new 93-14-4.

Click to collapse Just the other day this happened to me as well I was flashing Invicta and went to reboot into recovery once I set up the ROM and I got the black screen only the notification light would blink after many attempts of trying to flash everything to get it up and running I had had to flash that 40 megabyte update of the partition table and that solved it then you have to go and Flash the entire firmware don't forget to flash the bootloader right after flash the GPT.

Click to collapse Hmm, is that with the blankflash GPT and bootloader or with the separate GPT and bootloader files? Do you see errors when flashing the GPT? That error suggests your device doesn't have a partition map or had corrupted flash memory. Depending on what GPT and bootloader you had previously, you may have to flash the GPT and bootloader from the Oreo stock firmware (but only if you had updated to stock Oreo in the past). If you're still on stock Nougat, try this April 2018 GPT and bootloader https://drive.google.com/file/d/13AuJkn8eelq-wQ5wp7lNQTf7kT7_lLwI/view?usp=drivesdk if you do get your device booting, please flash the latest firmware to your device
I got it thanks a million, this 2018 version worked, now just flash firmware ---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ---------- IS POSSIBLE TO RE-LOCK BOOTLOADER?

Click to collapse Here is the link for the Oreo stock firmware https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79100802&postcount=1056 please read the initial post of the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 to flash the firmware and relock your device bootloader - you will need to use fastboot. Of course, locking your bootloader will erase your device and revert your device to full stock, but if you're handing the device to your mother, that's likely for the best. Back up as necessary.

****, phone aint booting up
So i unlocked the bootloader using the code that you get from the motorola official website and then installed twrp. It all went just find, but then I flashed the magisk zip and tried booting up but no response. Its like the power button doesnt work at all. Fastboot mode is still working and i can get into the recovery, tried restoring the old backup, factory reset, installing a rom (RR) but no luck. pls help this fella
Wipe data. Install the ROM of your choice. If that fails, flash your device's stock ROM.
You have to flash a custom kernel like ElementalX before rooting because magisk roots your phone by patching the boot image which isn't supported by the stock kernel! This is why your phone is not booting up! If you can still access bootloader mode, try this https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369

That video is over a year old and the AFH firmware listed for G5+ isn't as complete as the latest official list here, also you don't need to install certain utilities he mentions. HOW TO UNBRICK MOTO G5 PLUS AND RESTORE TO STOCK I'd recommend that 4-27-17 article meant just for our phone containing a link to a toolkit with everything you need including the POTTER_NPN25.137-35 firmware. Your variant's firmware may be different though. so check in settings and get the correct one at the above link I gave, if necessary. I've successfully restored to stock several times using this method.
I have a EU Version i think. Have buy in Austria. Have download .35 but its 7.0 and not 7.1. Security Patch show me January 2017? Befor i have unlock the Bootloader its have show me March 2017 i think.
hi will it work ? will it work definitely ?
