I have a G4 Plus which i've flashed with a stock ROM. The phone is running Marshmallow 6.0.1 and the build number is: MPJ24.139-48 - the patch level is 1 May 2016. When I hit 'update' it doesn't update to July 2016 which is the latest available patch in the UK.
Does anyone have a UK marshmallow rom for the G4 Plus which I can load onto the phone and then update to the July 2016 patch??
Any help would be fantastic. Thanks in advance.

Select I agree and then moto g from the dropdown menu. The instructions are fairly straightforward. XT1625 works for your device. Bootloader probably does not need to be unlocked if not downgrading**
Then execute the following
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot reboot
Edit: Use 7-Zip to extract the tarball from tgz file, and then again extract the files from the tarball.
**I'm not sure though, select allow oem unlocking in developer options just in case
mrinmaydhar - thank you very much. I will try that out now.
Which stock ROM did you flash, btw?
You may like to look at this stock ROM here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1643-updated-signed-t3460695
Though it's for XT1643, I've previously successfully flashed it onto a UK XT1642, dual SIM G4 Plus and had no issues. It also brings the July security patch and build 139-63/64, and from what I remember, kept the EMEA baseband and IMEI numbers for both SIM ports.

Thanks i'll try that because it sounds like you've had a good success with it!
I flashed this one: ATHENE_MPJ24.139-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
It worked but it was stuck on the 1st May 2016 security patch and kept saying it was up to date and wouldn't upgrade further.
Quick update: I tried echo's rom link because the other one had issues - WiFi wouldn't work.
Echo's xt1643 rom works well. It also includes the July 2016 patch level as mentioned in the posts above.
My next question is: when Nougat arrives, I assume we'll be able to upgrade to it. Will the nougat upgrade install the recovery file? For whatever reason, I don't think my recovery file installed properly when I flashed the rom. Just wondering ifnNougat will overwrite it when it is released?

Nice one, from the sounds of it, everything's working
As for Nougat (whenever it arrives in the UK and Europe!), you should be receiving an OTA update, since you're up to the latest MM 139-63/64 build for our region. It also should flash onto your device provided no modifications have been made to the recovery/system (bootloader lock/unlock doesn't appear to matter).
What did you see that suggested your recovery wasn't properly installed? If it was an error such as 'not signed' or 'bad key', but reported OK after flashing, don't worry about it.
I got the 'not signed' message. Excellent! All seems to be working well. Looking forward to when Motorola release Nougat. It's a shame they haven't kept on top of the security patches because its a great device I think! Thanks again!

What is your software channel now? Still retgb ?
Yes retgb. Apparently Lenovo are releasing Nougat soon in the UK so hopefully I'll get it on the retgb channel
Hi guys, I will appreciate if someone can help me. The things is:
I erase system.img from recovery and I backup from XT1706. After I found a site with stock XT1700 rom I downloaded last version which is the S503 I used SP Flash Tools and everything goes well. But when I tried to unlock Bootloader again adb windows said: This operation is not allowed. I tried everything but I wasn't able to unlock Bootloader again. So I downloaded the first version (S116) and surprisingly I could unlock Bootloader. But I get no notification of OTA updates it says that phone has the last version which is not true. Any ideas of what could be happening here? Thanks of hand for you help.
If you downloaded the ROMs from http://motorolastockrom.com/motorola-moto-e3-xt1700 then I suspect the problem is the ROMs have locked boot loaders. I tried installing the S503 version and the S302 version and had the same problem as you. In the end I ended up installing an XT1706 firmware and was able to unlock the bootloader, but sadly it is the same release date and adroid patch version as the XT1700 ROM I was on to begin with (S124)
Hi,
I have G4 Plus XT1642 (retapac). It came shipped with 6.0.1 MPJ24.139-48 preinstalled.
Well i flashed, deleted, maybe bricked and then made it work again with the latest version i wanted to have (139-63) and then rooted it. Everything worked/works, but the wifi mac shows as 02 000000 or something (but no problem with that, wifi mac is fixed with some earlier backup i have, it also gets fixed when i flash to original).
But the worst thing is: Both IMEI show as 0. In the setting menu, and also when dialing the command *#06# (Both IMEIs show 0).
It gave some errors at fastboot because of "downgrade" or so, but i think that's not the issue.
I tried everything, also reflashed to my original version (ATHENE_MPJ24.139-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip). Everything is fine, wifi mac displays as original also, but IMEIs still are 0.
No matter what I do, both IMEI show as 0, and SIM cards don't work ofcourse (they work, show carrier names etc but don't get accepted, ---> "emergency calls only", because IMEI is 0 i think.
Before you ask: No i don't have a very early TWRP backup from before flashing, deleted it because I had later backup I though everything was working, didn't try any SIM at that time.
How can I fix this? Is there any hope?
What gives me the little hope: At "boot thing" when I type fastboot getvar imei, it shows the correct imei! It doesn't list the second sim though.
Thanks in advance!

Yes. Did exactly that. Flashed the files of XT1642_ATHENE_6.0.1_MPJ24.139-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip ... with the commands
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
Showed some "errors" at fastboot at some, but I think that was normal. And flashing worked.
But in the end, both IMEI are still 0.
Even reflashed the NON-HLOS.bin. IMEI numbers are still 0.
Additional information:
The original version this retapac XT1642 G4 plus came shipped with was MPJ24.139-48.
I then wanted to update to the latest non-nougat version, which is MPJ24.139-63.
I could not update directly to MPJ24.139-63 from MPJ24.139-48. (Because the internal recovery showed error, that flashed version must origin from MPJ24.139-23.4).
So I overflashed (with fastboot) to MPJ24.139-23.4. So the version then was even lower than it came shipped with lol. Then from MPJ24.139-23.4, used the internal recovery (not TWRP), to apply the OTA update file MPJ24.139-63. Since then the Wifi mac was 020000000 or something, sometimes random wifi disconnects, and imei 0. After going back to original again, wifi mac is fixed, but sim imei numbers still are 0.
Edit: not sure if the imei and wifi errors accured since MPJ24.139-23.4, or after the OTA update file, or sometime inbetween because i deleted something in TWRP.

I don't want nougat. Can I go back to MPJ24.139-63 from nougat? But maybe worth a try if nobody knows any other possibility

Try removing oem fb set command
If it doesn't work then flash nougat then use 6.0.1 custom ROM
Edit fb_mode_set
Flashed everything again, without the fastboot oem fb_mode_set (MPJ24.139-48). Both IMEIs are still 0, everything else is fine though, original wifi mac.
---
Then took original over the air update it offered me (NPJ25.93-14). Installed without problems.
But, guess what.... it made things worse.
Now i am on NPJ25.93-14, the IMEIs still are 0, and the wifi mac address is at 02:00:00:00:00:00 again.
What I noticed is, in settings it shows the IMEI SV (Slot1) and IMEI SV (Slot2). They both changed to 08. I think they were 03 or so before.
Edit: In the boot recovery thing it says the usual stuff:
Battery OK (Charging)
flashing_unlocked
Software status: Official
...
So... updating to Nougat did not help, made things worse (wifi mac weird again, IMEI still 0).
Any other ideas?

Does anyone have stock rom npns25.137-93-14 for xt1685 for fastboot flash ???
I am trying to get oreo OTA update to work, and i had twrp installed, tried to flash stock recovery.img "not sure i got the right version" but update to oreo failed for some reason....
Think i maybe must flash the stock rom again and lock bootloader....
There is no image leak for 137-93-14, however using this tool on your pc you can download and flash the latest system images for your device. Install it, connect, select rescue and reboot your phone to fastboot. It will format the phone so make sure you have backups of your files.
My moto g4 plus (XT1643) imei =0 after flashing the stock 8.1 android.
I execute the command fastboot gervar imei . It return the imei
I checked the persist partition there is no such file
Dhob.bin
Shob.bin
Id_00
Id_01
Maybe too late to reply but flashing latest official rom is the only solution.
Either use fastboot method or use TWRP flashable official roms,
