I own a Moto G4 Plus XT1644 running Nougat, however after updating to Nougat the model number changed from Moto G4 Plus to Moto G(4) (In settings > about phone page). The fingerprint scanner has also stopped working. The fingerprint scanner also does not work when flashing roms, but I believe this is software related because the device model has changed in settings. Does anybody know how to return to G4 Plus stock firmware? I have tried to reflash all stock images (flash the XT1625-XT1644 version) but it always returns to G(4) w/o fingerprint sensor working (XT1625) version. Also when running benchmarks the device now shows up as Moto G(4) whereas if I run benchmarks on my friends G4 Plus it will show up as Motorola G4 Plus.

You can find firmware at https://firmware.center. but be careful, I have a SERIOUS problem with my IMEI after reverting to stock 6. Use motorola RSDLite to flash the firmware which you can also find at firmware center.

jamesnotfu - have you managed to resolve this? I have the same issue.
I ran this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t354936
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
Then I did the OTA update of the 14-4 security patch.
Restoring a TWRP image does not seem to have any effect on fixing this. Also tried flashing lineage os 14.1 and this had no effect either. I also tried flashing the gpt.bin/logo.bin that was downloaded in the march security update and boot.img from my TWRP backup as well as trying to restore the full stock again from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t354936
Baseband version: M8952_70030.25.03.62R ATHENE_RETUSA_CUST
okay first i flashed the wrong firmware which was quoted as moto g4 plus firmware huh now my phone is moto g4 and whenever i format mt phone it shows single sim no network and no fingerprint after a lot of research i fount that my bootloader version is changed
BL: BOE(*) Sha-4986429
i think it should be - BL: B1.03
do anyone knows hot to flash the write bootloader
and pls dont comment flash the correct firmware ****
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
Flash the latest one don't downgrade it can brick your phone

The only way, as far as I know, to flash a bootloader is to flash one from stock firmware.
Assuming you were on MM, you can try to flash the MPJ23.139-23.1 build (which i think is for XT1643) or flash the MPJ24.139-63 build for XT1643 devices https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1643-updated-signed-t3460695 , and that may repair your bootloader and IMEI/fingerprint sensor. As Blackbeats has mentioned, you may have to flash a Nougat bootloader if you were on a stock Nougat ROM at some point - and looking at the bootloader version (B1.03), I think that you'll want the Nougat NPJ25.93-14 stock ROM bootloader to flash back to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369
However, there is a chance that in future, because of the bootloader, future updates may be problematic (to the point where a brick could be possible), incidentally, for anyone watching this post, don't downgrade your bootloader or GPT partitions if you're downgrading your system!
Also as ____Mdd has mentioned in your other post, flashing firmwares may not repair your system as the hw partition may have been corrupted/wiped. The hw partition appears to hold details about your device and what properties to assign, and up until recently we didn't know that (and we seem to be able to fix it - details in this post as mentioned: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72340548&postcount=98 . You may be able to get assistance if you post in this thread to repair your XT1643.
Failing those, as has also been mentioned, a service centre and motherboard replacement may be required.
Hi all I have unfortunately lost the proper baseband for my device (XT1643-indian model g4 plus 3gb/32gb)
Prior to posting this, I had my fingerprint lost too. My stupidity was flashing the june fastboot firmware I found on one of the links for motorola rsd cloud clients. :/ With the help of @echo92 i was able to revive the missing fingerprint by pushing hw.img to /dev/block/mmcblk0p43 but still the SIMs won't show up as the baseband has changed to MSM8952_70030.25.03.62.01R DFLT_FSG
I have tried flashing the modem and fsg partitions from the March 1 ROM but still no solution
Any kind of help would be appreciated

Flashing the modem file for you device didn't change the baseband version? Meaning it didn't remove the suffix at the end...
What happens if you flash a complete stock ROM via fastboot for you device? One that includes all of the files...

I actually had made these backups specifically for such conditions but i'm unable to find them as of now. I have been able to get the Sims working somehow with @Droidphilev 's flashable modem zip (Available here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/fxz-flashable-stock-npjs25-93-14-4-t3623010 ). But the baseband I have after flashing this zip is M8952_70030.25.03.62.01p ATHENE_EMEA_DSDS_CUST . Let's see what can be done to revive my phone fully.

Hello,
I recently bought (ON DECEMBER 2017) the moto g5 plus (XT1686) Indian model..
After a week I unlocked the bootloader and installed PixelExperience 8.1 ROM,
unfortunately, I deleted the TWRP backup, so I search for "how to install the stock firmware",
I downloaded an old firmware (it has January 2017 security patch) and installed it thus, I lost my IMEI number it shows 0 when I dialed *#06#.
After that, I got an update on this firmware, when I updated (Hoping for I get back my IMEI), the phone got hard bricked,
then read a forum on xda , tried blankflash and got back my access to bootloader,
after that, i installed "XT1681-XT1683_POTTER_BRASIL_LATAM_MEXICO_7.0_NPN25.137-15_cid50_subsidy-DEF" firmware over and over but the phone doesn't boot anymore it stucks at boot logo,
then I installed twrp recovery and installed Pixel experience ROM again, but I didn't boot, always it stucks on boot logo,
then I select Factory mode instead of reboot in bootloader menu, then it booted into Pixel experience ROM, but the SIgnal is STill GONe,,
any solution....
i went to a local mobile repair store,
they also not able to fix that,,,
then I go to the Motorola service center, they also failed,,
the moto service center guy told that the Firmware installation stops at 80% because of twrp installed...
any permanent solution, please help..
Thanks in advance.. ?

Try to install this firmware using fastboot...
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620771881
It's for the Indian variant XT1686 and is the latest so far. One advice, simply never downgrade a Moto device to a lower version of ROM than what your phone was running before you unlocked and installed a custom ROM, it bricks your phone and you'll end up with an expensive paperweight.

Try using Albus Blank Flash https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/foru...oto-g5-plus-hard-bricked-solved-t3662734/amp/
And then your device will wake up in dummy bootloader
Then flash the gpt and recovery img
Then flash twrp recovery!
I think this method will work

Yes If you can access to bootloader then flash the latest twrp 3.2.1.0 For g5 plus and after flashing recovery then flash the debolated rom first!
Do not flash stock rom first you have to instal Debolated rom you can easily access to the rom from Xda
And then you can flash any rom after debolated
Hi, if you wish to sell your dead mobile,
Please let me know

Okay 1st of all
install This TWRP only
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/development/dev-64bits-t3708091
and Then install any Custom Rom
I suggest these
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/development/rom-resurrectionremix-v6-0-0-oreo-t3754057
or
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/development/rom-lineageos-15-0-t3673573
Let me know
Only Do Clean Install
I too have the same no signal issue, but I have my EFS so I can get my IMEI but no signal in any sim. The sims are detected but there is no signal and it says Radio OFF , so I tried #*#*4636#8#* menu but it didnt help either. I lost signal when I was on LineageOS and tried flashing magisk and DolbyAtmos. After that I flashed Debloated and got the signal back but then I tried going back to stock and ever since I regret my decision. I have tried flashing different ROMs but no signal issue remains in each and every one of them. Even EFS dont help as I get my IMEI but no signal. Any help would be really appreciated.
