Hi everyone. I'm a new member in XDA Forums. New to Android as well. Prior to this, I used Windows mobile for 4 years.
I bought Moto G5 Plus 32GB variant. Like most enthusiasts, I tried to root my mobile and unlocked the boot-loader using Moto G5 Plus Toolkit. The root was not successful though when I checked using Root Checker. I then flashed my phone with another ROM.
Recently, when everyone was receiving August Security update and that I didn't, I flashed my mobile with another ROM . The flashing was successful. I was able to configure the mobile as well. The software was updating. My mobile never turned on in the booting process. I was sure that I hard-bricked my phone.
Thanks to this thread. I was able to bring back the boot loader to appear on the screen from a complete black-out state.
I then flashed my phone using stock ROM multiple times, but my phone has never booted. All I see is blue-colored Moto screen running on the loop.
Here are the details of my phone when it is in the fastboot mode. I hope you could help me with what needs to be done with these details.

Hi Siddhesh9146,
Thanks for responding. The security patch was January 1. It was updating to August 1 patch and this is when my phone has never booted again. I don't remember which build it was.
okay, did you tried this blankflash : http://cloud.vache-android.com/Moto/potter/blankflash/
?

Yes, I used blankflash when my phone was fully bricked. Now, I could at least go to fastboot mode on my phone. Should I still use blankflash? If yes, could you point me to a tutorial?
1. Blankflash
2. Fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
3. Reboot into TWRP
4. Flash whatever room you want
5. Fire up.
This should do ya!

Thanks, I got the following response during the first step. My device is connected in fastboot mode.

You have no drivers or missing some maybe. I would use the easy tool to help you. You can install the needed drivers from the UI and flash twrp.

I tried flashing TWRP using the toolkit. But, no luck although the UI said that it had installed. The device won't boot to recovery mode.

Stop using toolkits and learn it the manual way. And never flash a different region's image, you already found out why though

Like @GtrCraft says, you need to find your regions image. Can you give me your Build Number? Then i can find the right one for you. It should be something starting with "NPN..."
I also have an Indian variant i.e XT1686 running stock NPN25.137-67-5(latest).
Look for 137-67-5 fastboot ROM and flash that

Thanks, bro. I really appreciate you trying to help me. But, as my phone is soft-bricked, I'm afraid I might not be able to tell you the build number. But, I can help you with some details I have.

Hi guys,
So, I got a new Moto G4 Plus, and decided to use it with LineageOS. I followed the guide that I found through the official lineageos website for installing.
However, now the phone is stuck in the bootloader. When turning the phone on, the screen remains black, no matter how long I let it sit. When at any point I press the Volume Down button, I arrive in the bootloader menu. From there I can select "Start" again, screen turns black and pressing Volume Down at any point lands me right back in the bootloader. Any suggestions what I can try?
Here's the text displayed in the boot menu:

Hmm, which build have you flashed in TWRP?
Are you able to reboot back to TWRP recovery from the bootloader menu (there should be an option, if you use the volume keys, to boot to recovery)?
Thanks for the reply, echo92!
I am able to boot back into TWRP recovery, and re-flashed the same file a few times. I used the most recent 14.1 build from July 24...
EDIT
Okay, it ended up working this time! The only thing I did different this time is to select all the zip files first and let TWRP install them all in one go. I'm in now
Thanks again, echo92!

Hello,
You cannot downgrade your Android version with the Verizon-model Droid Turbo 2. The Verizon-model has the bootlocker locked to a point where you are unable to rollback. Until someone cracks that code, you are stuck with whatever silly updates are pushed out. I feel your pain; I've had major issues since the most recent software update on my DT2.
Hi
I'm having a little problem, I initially unlocked my bootloader and installed magisk on my G6 Plus when I bought it. I wanted to upgrade to 9.0 and so tried to flash the new firmware through fastboot. I ended up soft bricking the device and after hours of searching the internet for solutions and trying a lot of different fastboot commands, it suddenly started working again.
It's great that it's working again, however, I'm stuck on OPW27.113-45 and now I can't install magisk or take OTA.
I try going to bootloader and boot into twrp, I get the following command:
C:\mfastboot>fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-evert.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
It basically hangs while sending or downloading anything within fastboot.
I've experimented with multiple versions of mfastboot, platform-tools etc. I have also downloaded multiple firmware versions without success.
I wonder if anyone has come across this problem in the past and has a solution.
I can boot into recovery and could potentially update via adb, however, to do so I need a special update file with signature verification that I can't find.
Ultimately, I want to boot into TWRP, flash Lineage Gapps and Magisk. But with the bootloader "broken" I get stuffed at the first step.
Just some extra information.
I have tried 4 different cables from both usb 2.0 slots and my 3.0 slot. I went and bought a USB c to c cable which also didn't work.
The phone is recognized when I type FASTBOOT DEVICES
Any help greatly appreciated

Fixed
Cracked out my old laptop today to give it a go and see if the issue was my computer.
Turns out it was. I've now been able to update and all is good.

I'm having the same issue, i don't get the fix, just change computer and it should work?
I solved the described issue without changing computer in the following way:
1. Disconnect phone from computer
2. In cmd type fastboot boot twrp.img (or whatever the filename is)
3. Press enter
4. Connect the phone back to the computer
It should then send the img and boot into twrp successfully. Hope this helped someone.

I assume according to the entry date of this thread and the missing follow up of your problem, that you by now eventually have figured out where the mistake was made.But by the off-chance that you haven't, did I single the 'keywords' out, by sorting the quote of your OP.
I hope that you didn't brick your phone and could resolve the issue, but realistically do I doubt that. :/
I have hours and lots of GB of bandwidth wasted trying every ROM edition i found about "Moto E4", when i try to install it says "...this package is for device xxxxx, this device is perry"
Nothing worked so far also i didn't create a backup and i can't even find how to turn it back as it was
Can someone please help me maybe there's something i can do or any version i haven't seen?
I'm very new i don't have much knowledge about androids but i learn fast and i have huge knowledge on linux/windows.
