I attempted to flash the stock rom using adb but it shows the following error.

I'd advice you use the original image to flash for your country and device which was 5.1 via ADB following the steps described in the forum.

I tried that once before and got the same error message until I used the original firmware, 5.1 which was the one it was originally shipped with. That's why I gave that advice.

ok dude glad to hear.now from twrp i think u can flash latest MM flashable. (not sure through if u first have to flash 6.0 MM)

FAST BOOT WORKS
I'm not 100% sure, but you may have to use "mfastboot" which is the motorola version of fastboot. You can find it with a quick search.
So you were on 5.1 and downgraded to Kit Kat? You can't downgrade the bootloader.

I'm going to stop you right there,.
To install an OTA, you need STOCK reocvery. If you have a 3rd party recovery like TWRP or CWM, the OTA process might reboot your phone into Recovery but it will fall to install.
If you have 4.4.4 on your phone, you need to get that exact Recovery.img and flash it. You can't use a 5.1 recovery because the pre-flash validation checks that happen as part of the OTA will likely complain that its not the right version.

You can't downgrade from 4.4.4 to 4.4.2 without risking turning your phone into a brick.
What state is your phone in now? WHat bootloader version does it have on it?
If you have bootloader 30.B7, consider downloading the 4.4.4 XT1060 SBF/FXZ moto has on their web site, and visit -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/faq-how-to-prepare-ota-update-carriers-t3126425 read post 1 and 2... From Post 2, use the Requirements section, then skip to option 5 to get to stock 4.4.4. then try the OTA
ok lest start over
i was rooted with twrp
i returned to stock and flashed system and recovery from
VZW_212.56.26.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US
took both OTAs got onto lolipop seemd to be working
went to flash twrp it said flashed OK
but I could not boot into recovery
tried to laod a cuple differnt recoveries.
then tried to restore the whoel thing
VZW_212.56.26.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US
gpt failed
recovery failed
then I tried to install a recovery boot and moto boot frfom a different 5.1. ( after verifying that a couple 5.1 roms had the same size moto boot and boot) flashed but gpt is messed up and wont restore.
either I have broke it or I need a factory image from lollipop
i will try to check my boot loader version. but i bet its updated as a resultof th OTA
got twrp working
does any one have a complete nanadroid of verizon lolipop
got twrp working
does any one have a complete nanadroid of verizon lolipop
slowly am getting back up.
i am not at VZW_212.55.26.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US

Blur_Version.212.166.3.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US seems to fail.
ill try flashing system and recovery again.
flashd system, revcovery, boot and motoboot
moto boot failed

How did you get TWRP working under 5.1? Someone else had similar issues here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/xt1060-recovery-5-1-t3201391
Well that was me... Eventually I got twrp working but I don't know what kind of bastard kitkat lolipop Frankenstein thing it was. Phone will not boot. It is on its way back to motorolla

Hey bud, when you say the phone won't boot do you mean you can't even boot into the bootloader, or do you mean the screen goes black after the boot animation?
If it's the latter the same thing happened to me today and I know how to fix it.
Won't boot. It went back to Motorola yesterday. Love extended warranty. Backup phone droid incredible 1 with KitKat . loving the 3g

I was asking you to clarify what you meant by "won't boot" since that could mean multiple things, but it doesn't matter if you already sent the phone back. Glad you have the extended warranty.
yes extended warranty is great.
sorry by wont boot i meant complete brick, not boot loop. no boo tlogo, no motorolla logo, no bootloader unlocked warning screen. just dark dead, as a doornail.
it wold not even get int eh boot loader.
i have never bricked a phone before. i want trying to downgrade. i have been rooting ( the hard way) since eclair on my lg ally, so not a newb.

KDZs are factory firmware files, untouched.
Is it possible to root? Bootloader remains unlocked?

You need to use LGUP for flashing KDZ:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
First of all, flashing this KDZ will re-lock the bootloader. It is important to know because if you want unlocked bootloader, you need to execute "fastboot oem unlock" which will wipe all user data.
Secondly, I am surprised to see that TWRP is no longer working after MM update:
Code:
O:\LG\H901>fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.1-h901.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.732s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.749s
Same error if I try to flash TWRP as well. Did somebody successfully manage to root this version?
Edit: I've also tried with latest TWRP available from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development/recovery-updated-twrp-v3-0-1-0-t3350825
Maybe we need a newer build of TWRP based on MM sources?

i got that same error when trying to fastboot boot TWRP. however, i then realized that my bootloader had been relocked. i assume you re-unlocked yours tho. i have tons of Google Play music downloaded for offline listening, so i'm trying to see if i can back that up before unlocking.
edit: moving google music to sdcard, will unlock and give it a try later on

BadNews: I hate to be the one to tell you all this, But LG locked some of the fastboot commands... It has nothing to do with TWRP..
you all gota understand that twrp has its own kernel regrdless of what rom you run............. So ROM and Recovery dont tie into eather other..
Nexus 7 did this same thing some time ago.. the fastboot commands are locked up.. LG did the same on the G3 when we figured out how to get around the download mode.........
anyhow, if you even use< fastboot continue >
you will get same error:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot continue
resuming boot...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.018s
So now, we are all should I say, F----d Up............. I even use my G3 rooting knowledge to gain root... But that method failed tooo, and it uses the download mode come port way..
seems LG though of everything this time around........ But you can count on one thing,, WE WILL HAVE ROOT again.................
We have something the other devices dont have.,. We can unlock our bootloaders.. So, we just gota wait a bit.....................

That's bad, real bad.
The first thing most of us will want to know here is if downgrade to 5.1.1 is safe? If yes, which build? I don't think we have many options there.
For rooting, can we try opening the LG Com port using the old 9% method? Maybe then we can try flashing a root injected system image? I am away from PC so can't try this right now. Won't be asking otherwise.
I will wait for a flashable zip. And hope it will have root. Or maybe stick with the Korean Mm port
Sent from my LG-H901 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Yep. Flashable zip is the way to go for now (if it somehow becomes available). I am not sure how to read system dump from a locked-down device and create a Flashable zip.
I will try downgrading to 5.1.1 in the morning.
Just wondering, why allow bootloader unlock if LG and T-Mobile want to lock down everything else?

Screwed up phone while rolling back Android 7 - help?

So for some background, I was on EMUI 4.1 and successfully flashed to EMUI 5.
Then, I wanted to rollback so I flashed recovery again and stock firmware. I tried flashing with fastboot and didn't work. I tried using Huawei recovery 3-button method, no luck either.

When I was booting into Revolution recovery, I could not mount SD card and some other partitions so maybe that has something to do with the 3-button method problem... Furthermore, I don't know how to check which version exactly my phone is, all I know is that it was VNS-L31.
Now I'm stuck with a phone that is constantly rebooting so how do I proceed?
First of all...
Please tell me you have a backup of your Nougat ROM. If yes, restore it.
I have failed to go back to MM several times like you before.
It really is a question of using the right files.
First, flash the OEMInfo that is provided here in the forums.
Second, flash the right firmware. This one is tricky. For me, ONLY VNS-L31 Version C150 worked. No other.
Flashing with fastboot always never works. It always gives an error on system. So you need to find a firmware that works with 3-button method.
Your task now is the get back to working Nougat, since you did something wrong.
Unlock BL, flash Nougat recovery with fastboot.
Then,
easiest is like I said restoring a backup.
If you don't have one, try flashing the Revolution ROM by BadWolf.

Have just solved the problem with the steps from here.
From my understanding, it seems that I lost almost everything, device info, OEM info, recovery... So no technique was working.
The solution in brief was:
1. Go into bootloader to flash recovery (I used Revolution Recovery)
2. In recovery, flash OEM info.
3. Then used the 3-button method to install stock version for the appropriate model (which I could see from OEM info).
4. Unlocked bootloader, triggering a factory reset. (I was stuck in infinite boot before this point.)
As you say Schlengge, it is a matter of using the right files! Thanks. Problem solved.

Which original one though? I've been trying and downloaded any Full firmware I could find using a firmware finder, for my VNS-L31 but using the force update method in download so far all of them return an error: Incompatible with current version. I have also tried the fastboot update and separately flashing each file in the update.app . None work so far. I keep trying.

If you're on Nougat, try flashing it's files through fastboot. It worked for me, MM system.img gave me an error, but nougat flashed fine.
I believe ur in nougat beta... Just flash oem info and flash again the nougat from there you can start again and downgrade peacefully
your bootloader is locked

Thank you! I followed the instructions here with a slight variation. Because trying to install the update.zip file always gave me errors I extracted the update.APP with the update extractor tool and flashed cache,system,boot with fastboot. Then I opened the custom recovery, installed the other zip file and continued as instructed.

Were you able to sucessfully use blankflash and load a different bootloader?
Have you ever updated to soak test?

Download the stock rom from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
and follow that thread. First flash bootloader and gpt then reboot bootloader and then flash stock rom

Were you able to flash bootloader first??
Also I hope you are just flashing bootloader and gpt.bin only from the downloaded stock rom only from the link i posted earlier.

That's because Magisk causes boot issues on Stock Nougat without custom kernel.
Reboot to TWRP then flash Magisk uninstaller (from magisk thread xda) and check if it boots. If it does not boot, then flash boot.img only from the Stock ROM and it should boot fine:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
After that install Elemental X Kernel first and then install Magisk and you will be able to boot properly.
