stock roms (fastboot flash vs ota's) - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello dearest xda community,
I wanted to ask the community if there is any performance difference in flashing the stock rom on the Moto G4 Plus via fastboot as compared to the upgrades taken via OTA's.
Coz recently I have seen my xt1643 lag alott after flashing the 1st march firmware via fastboot.
The file was clean flashed i.e wiping all the entries such as system, data, cache, dalvik, etc. via twrp post which the whole firmware was flashed.
Thanks in advance.

Stuck on patching system image unconditionally when flashing oxygen

Hello
I had a problem with my phone earlier today where it would reboot one or two minutes before it started, so I install twrp recovery and tried installing Ota 009 which I found here on xda, how ever now I'm stuck when I'm trying to install it?
Thanks in advance
Did you flash the whole ROM or only the OTA file?
For the latest version (2.1.2), as there is no full zip, only the incremental file, you need to flash the FULL 2.1.1 and then directly the 2.1.2 in TWRP.
You can flash only the OTA file alone if your system is stock and untouched (no root / TWRP).
In your case you need to flash the whole ROM then the OTA.

Try wiping dalvik cache, cache, system, and data. (NOT INTERNAL STORAGE) then flash again.

Wipe and Flash

Hi. I have installed Doctor's S6 Port ROM in my i9500. I'm having some signal issues so I want to go back to stock rom and try signal. Here's the question. Can I full wipe my device with custom recovery (wipe data, dalvik, cache, system, preload) and then flash stock firmware with Odin?
Another Question. The Stock rom file I have is HOA7 and my current bootloader version is I9500XXUHOA7 and the modem is I9500ZCUJOH2 (this modem came with doctor's ROM). I want to download stock rom HOH4. This stock firmware will upgrade bootloader and flash a new modem? Also, what happens if i have a higher bootloader than firmware. Example, if i have HOE3 bootloader and install HOA7 firmware?

Yes that would be the correct procedure. Wiping with the custom recovery and then flashing rom with Odin.
The bootloaders are not that strict. You can switch freely between Lollipop versions.
If you are having signal issues why not just swap between custom roms? Maybe try a few different Lollipop modems.
Make sure you do the advanced wipe in TWRP.
Doing a factory reset will only wipe /data, /cache and /dalvik.
Select andvaced wipe and select the partitions manually.

How to revert from Marshmallow to KitKat?

Hey guys! I am running 6.0.1 AOKP ROM on my A6000 plus, and wanted to revert to KitKat for a few days. I found this site
http://www.techolite.com/34431/lenovo-a6000plus-pure-stock-rom-recovery.html
And downloaded Lenovo A6000 plus KitKat stock Rom. However, while flashing this ROM via TWRP, I got an error that the zip is corrupted. So I downloaded it again, but it gave me the same error What's the problem? I did factory reset and wipe all cache and Dalvik cache before flashing, so why won't it flash?

I too always have some problem while reverting back to stock kitkat. Try this cwm recovery. Flash the stock KK using this. It'll surely work.
And, in case, you can flash this recovery, just boot into it at once by using
"fastboot boot recovery.img" in adb and fastboot tool on pc.
And then wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache and flash ROM

How do i upgrade from a custom 7.1.2 ROM to official stock Oreo ROM?

My main phone got damaged so i am using this Moto G4+ phone temporarily. Years ago i flashed Resurrection Remix Nougat on this and the phone is really slow and laggy right now so I am hoping flashing a stock ROM will fix it but i am not sure how to flash the stock ROM. I know about the fastboot method but i am worried about bricking the phone and i really do not want to risk bricking it at all since this is the only working phone i have right now. I am worried about all these different bootloader versions and the 32bit/64bit thing. My current bootloader version is 1.07. Should i fastboot flash the ROM given here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 or do i have to do something else first?
Thanks
If you're worried about bricking your device, I would initially try flashing the TWRP flashable of the Nougat or Oreo stock ROM (from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-oreo-8-1-0-soak-test-t3873367 ) This TWRP flashable will update your system, boot(kernel) and modem and should not update your GPT/bootloader (so you'd still be on B1:07). The stock ROM is 32 bit - if you're flashing, I would recommend you wipe data, after flashing, before booting - so ensure you back up (e.g. backup system, boot, data in TWRP) and keep that back up off your device.
If anything does happen, restore your backup and reboot.

I was able to successfully upgrade to stock Oreo through that TWRP zip but unfortunately the phone is still laggy, Do you think that fastboot flashing the stock ROM or upgrading to custom Pie ROM will help?

Can I flash stock MIUI through TWRP, or without losing bootloader unlock?

Hello everybody
So this is weird asf..
So I got Mi 9T with MIUI 10.3.7 EEA stock rom. TWRP and Magisk flashed. I wanted to update MIUI to the latest 10.3.12 and I found a method online to update via TWRP by flashing the new MIUI stock rom then flashing a zip "Lazyflasher-no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip".
I backed up (system, data, boot) and then wiped (sys, data, catch, dal/art), then flashed the newer MIUI rom, then Lazyflasher zip. But I got an error installing Lazyflasher. So I wiped and restored my backup and the device booted into system. But then I discovered that the system is acting crazy. Fingerprint, wifi, all sensors aren't working.. etc.
I tried re-restoring my back ups, and tried wiping Dalvil/Art cache, Data and, Cache (TWRP factory rest) but nothing changed.
I'm considering flashing stock room but I don't want to lose bootloader unlocking and wait again.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
