My Moto G4 is stuck with the LED Blinking and cant boot to system.
I was root my device the standard Moto way I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP, then booted. Everything was fine; I went through the setup and got everything working.
I then went back and flashed the SuperSU zip. And bricked my phone, the LED is flashing but the phone still has battery. I can get into TWRP and the bootloader still.
I would prefer to keep my stock OS but at this point anything (STABLE) would work.
Installed Stock ROM from official Motorola site then continued to install SlimRom because I like it.
where did you get the stock rom?

I installed Oxygen OS 3.5.6 with twrp since I wanted to get everything back to stock. I successfully installed the firmware but could not remove twrp since I can't connect my phone to my pc at the moment. Now after my phone's battery died today I can't access twrp anymore and it seems to be replaced by the stock recovery (which i'm perfectly fine with anyway), just wondering if I can lock the bootloader now and if twrp is completely gone?

You have to reflash twrp. But a hybrid one I believe ^
That's what happened to me anyway. It's gone, just gotta flash a new one I believe.
I always use stock recovery when flashing stock OOS. OnePlus recommends this.
Just installed Nougat stock ROM for my S7 Edge with ODIN, and trying to root.
I installed TWRP latest version 3.01 and immediately after installed supersu 2.79 SR3 from TWRP.
At first I could not boot the phone because it kept saying I used the wrong PIN code for boot. I reflashed stock rom and was able to boot again (same PIN) - disabled PIN on boot, and reflashed TWRP and supersu, but it keeps hanging at the Samsung Logo.
Flashing stock rom solves it, but I still want to root it..
What am I doing wrong?
currently there is no reliable root for nouget roms. It is being worked on.

Thanks for replying.
In this case - even if the goal is to root - it seems the problem is with TWRP.. Even if I do not root, but just install TWRP, the neverending bootlogo shows up..
Nougat OS has been changed that all the old rooting and twrp need to be updated.
It will be a while till developers can modify the os to allow changes.
Have posted the same question in the TWRP S7 thread that I did not see before posting this one - sorry
I have a Moto G4 Athene (not Plus, and not Play).
I did the following:
unlocked bootloader
flashed TeamWin recovery
installed SuperSu 2.79 SR3 from TeamWin install
The phone no longer boots. Just a black screen. Flashing notification light if put on USB.
I can still get into the bootloader, and from there into TeamWin recovery, but I'm not having any luck beyond that.
Sadly, I didn't create a backup.
I tried installing LineageOS 14.1, pushing with ADB in recovery, and then installing with TeamWin. Even though I can add the file to the phone and I can run the install, a reboot returns a black screen.
Any advice? I'm afraid this isn't looking too good.
By the way, you can just work with twrp after installing that... stock recovery (fastboot adb) doesn't belong anymore. At first I would suggest that you post the details which are shown in your bootloader.
Furthermore I would recommend just to flash stock rom and testing that case.

First of all, if you read their corresponding threads, you need to do the following when rooting:
- Unlock bootloader/flash TWRP (you did)
- Flash a custom kernel (Vegito or ElementalX)
- And then wipe ART/Dalvik Cache
Second, for LineageOS- you cannot dirty flash custom ROMs, EVER EVER EVER! By this I mean you have to wipe system/data/cache/dalvik etc.- you can ignore Internal Storage and the SDCard/OTG.
You may (should) have to flash the Moto G4 Nougat radio that's floating around XDA somewhere. LOS worked fine for me without doing that, but I know other ROMs require it.
Finally, as a quick heads up, all Moto G4 Plus ROMs work fine with the G4, including any stock ROMs/backups.
Edit: I heavily suggest Magisk or phh SU over SuperSU- Magisk allows you to use SnapChat and Pokemon Go, and phh's is open source.
Thanks for the responses.
I was able to restore the phone with a stock rom I found on these boards. After that, I received two OTA, one to 6.0.1 and then the current to 7.0.0.
I have the same problem than you... Can you send me the link that you use to fix it?

Just flash ElementalX 1.04 kernel (after flashing SuperSu or Superuser or Magisk) when trying to root STOCK Nougat 7.0 as it's designed to thwart any root attempt.

can you please give the step by step guide you followed to recover your phone!!!
I've spent the past few days trying to install the new Nougat update on my phone, and I finally managed to do it. I heard Magisk works for Nougat so I decided to use it as my root so i could back up my partitions and whatnot for the next update. I download the Magisk installer using the app, use fastboot to boot into TWRP, and flash the installer. All seemingly goes well, but when I reboot, nothing happens. I can access bootloader, I can access the stock recovery that's still loaded, but it will not start up, and any attempt to start it while the phone is plugged in leaves it in a black screen with the LED next to the fingerprint sensor consistently flashing. I'm no expert, but this doesn't seem good. Is it bricked? Is there an easy fix? So far I've tried using the recovery to wipe the cache and used TWRP to do a full factory reset, neither of which did anything. My Moto G4 Plus is an XT1644, and my model number was mpj24.139-64, which I'd assume means it is now npj24.139-64, but I have no way to check.
I feel like my best bet here is for someone else to extract their system, logo, boot, and all those partitions and I can just flash those in, but I honestly have no idea. This is my only phone by the way, so help would be muchly appreciated.
You need a custom Kernel first thing after re-flashing the stock, recommend ElementalX. Only after that you can root (I prefer the latest beta SuperSU, in systemless mode).
The stock Nougat is locked up pretty good.
Solved
No worries, managed to safely flash the stock rom I had for the previous version and re-update. Seems to work fine now.
After a painful rooting process, I finally achieved root with Magisk 19.1 and unlocked bootloader. I decided to load Super V20 ROM this morning but it has never finished the boot process. It's sticking on the Verizon boot animation. As far as the stock phone, I had version VS99510B and Android 7.0, running TWRP 3.2.1-0. When I went through the options in the Aroma loader for Super ROM, I don't think I chose anything crazy. I selected Magisk & MK2000 kernel (though, that didn't have any effect on the static screen; I was told it would).
After the first load attempt, I went back into TWRP, triple-wiped everything and reflashed again. Same effect. It just won't move past the Verizon boot animation. What could be the issue? Is there anything I can fix here or do I need to reload all the stock software? If that is the case, do I need to go back to 10B or would a newer version work better? I do intend to load a custom ROM at some point but I just want to get this phone functioning again.
Right now, I do have access to recovery (TWRP 3.2.1-0) so all is not lost. Got any help?
Thanks all.
LG V20 VS995, attempting Super V20 4.1 (8.2.18), Magisk 19.1, TWRP 3.2.1-0
