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.

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.

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 ?
I have Moto X play XT1563. It was stuck in a boot loop - moto logo->circle and "erasing"->reboot
Fastboot and ADB works
I tried to flash new firmware (stock image) - failed:
(bootloader) Invalid signed image
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
based on that and research I decided to unlock bootloader, which ended up with:
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.
FAILED (remote failure)
since phone is unalbe to boot I cannot go to dev options. Is there any way to have it done using adb or fastboot? even low level linux way to change something in the config?
or (easier way) - anyone aware where can I find new Bell firmware? now I have M8936_2020632.44.03.21.57R LUX_BELLCA_CUST
Appreciate any suggestions
Check here
https://github.com/motoxplay/stock
there is a bell firmware but is tagged with a BELL? so, don´t know if will it work
Cheers.

you are downgrading your OS by degrading ur build number !!
think of your actually build number before you wiped ur stock ROM .. Hope all good for your mobile :good:
