So i unlocked the bootloader using the code that you get from the motorola official website and then installed twrp. It all went just find, but then I flashed the magisk zip and tried booting up but no response. Its like the power button doesnt work at all. Fastboot mode is still working and i can get into the recovery, tried restoring the old backup, factory reset, installing a rom (RR) but no luck. pls help this fella
Wipe data. Install the ROM of your choice.
If that fails, flash your device's stock ROM.
You have to flash a custom kernel like ElementalX before rooting because magisk roots your phone by patching the boot image which isn't supported by the stock kernel! This is why your phone is not booting up!
If you can still access bootloader mode, try this https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369

You have to flash the custom kernel before rooting only when you are on stock or stock based roms and not on custom roms! Good Luck

If the above firmware isn't working, it might be because the firmware you're trying to flash is too old; you may have to flash the March 2017 firmware (the latest firmware we have) which is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
had the bootloader unlocked and ended up giving hardbrick after an update via OTA.
I managed to recover but had the alert that the bootloader was unlocked, so I wanted to block again, then by fasstboot, I made the command: fastboot flashing lock, and apois this alert began to appear.
I'm afraid to give a factory reset and give hardbrick.

What device do you have and what firmware did you use to lock your device with? I'd check your ADB folder and make sure you've extracted the correct firmware. Also, that should give you an opportunity to delete any old stock ROMs - updating via OTA after flashing an old stock ROM runs a risk of hard bricking.
When you're locking your device bootloader, your device will be wiped anyway.

I'm going to put the prints here of the device and the folder that I used to pass the mobile;
one detail that I realized is that the rom that step is at ATHENE_NPJS25.93-14-18, but on the device shows ATHENE_NPJS25.93-14-4.

the rom was supposed to be the April 2018 patch but appears in March 2017;
I really wanted to reset the factory; but I'm afraid to brick it again

Hmm, you have the March 2017 stock ROM but the Feb/April 2018 baseband. I wonder if you've got a firmware mismatch in your ADB folder?
I'd delete all the stock ROM files from your ADB folder (except the ADB and fastboot files and your flashing scripts), then extract a fresh copy of the NPJS25.93-14-18 firmware, then copy the extracted files to your ADB folder (don't extract directly to the ADB folder if your ADB folder is on C drive, sometimes UAC can block the extraction. Extract then copy to the C drive). That way, you can be sure the firmware you're flashing is not mixed up (despite the same timestamps, have you verified the md5 checksums of the extracted files match the md5 checksums in the flashfile.xml or servicefile.xml? You can use a program like WinMD5Free to check).
When you recovered from the hard brick, did you flash a working GPT and bootloader before you attempted to lock your device?
What flashing commands are you using and what are the outputs? I'd suggest trying to flash the stock ROM again, provided you've cleaned out your ADB folder as suggested above.
Can you also post your getvar all info here please?
1)Boot your device to the bootloader, connect your device to your computer via USB.
2)Open an ADB terminal on your computer. Type 'fastboot getvar all' without quotes in the terminal. Press Enter.
3)Please post or paste the getvar all output in a text file and upload to this thread, or paste the output here. You may wish to omit your IMEI. This should give us an idea of your device health.

about having incompatibility, I do not know what to do, what I did was download the rom that was supposed to be the april of 2018 and add the fastboot files and the .bat OEM lock and OEM Flash files, and run the OEM lock.bat
about the procedure of extracting the files, I believe that I have nothing mixed, I just do not understand how it does not load the right version, but I can do it if I think it's the problem

Thanks for the commands and the getvar. The commands look okay. Your getvar indicates you have the Dec 2017 - April 2018 bootloader and a newer baseband, but your system and kernel appear to be much older. That suggests either the flash only partially worked (possibly there's a problem with your device) or you have a mixed firmware that accidentally got flashed.
I'd erase all the stock ROM files from your ADB directory, extract a fresh copy and copy to your ADB folder, then flash again. Try to make sure you see [OKAY] after each flash, and if you can, try to capture the flash log.
Edit - looking more closely at your ADB folder, there do appear to be firmware files of a different timestamp - some are from the 28th, others are from the 29th. If they were all from the same firmware, they should have the same timestamp as the files should have been extracted in one go... never mind, I had a look at my ADB folder and the same is for me
Those commands and the NPJS25.93-14-18 firmware do work, I've locked my XT1642 with them.
Edit 2: can you repeat the flash without the locking commands please (the two initial OEM lock commands and the final OEM lock command)

Thanks - that (bootloader) flash permission denied error is not good though - are you using the original USB cable, or at least a high quality data USB cable to flash? Can you try another USB port to flash if possible? If you can, try to flash manually rather than using the scripts. You can copy paste each command in sequence to your ADB terminal and press Enter - this may be more reliable than using the scripts.
How did you unbrick your device after the hard brick, was it using a blankflash like the one here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-hardbrick-solved-guide-t3657761 Also, did you flash a working GPT/bootloader before attempting to lock your bootloader?

I have already done the process with another cable and another port and using the commands manually, without positive results.
exactly was using the blankflash, then it was stuck on the screen with the "start" in the bootloader, after this tried to flash several roms and without result, nothing worked.
Yes I tried to make GPT / bootloader flash, (gpt and boot), but it did not work.
So I downloaded that rom that I sent the print with the adb files that should be April 2018, and the phone revived, but with the red bootlader alert unlocked, and so I was using it without problems. but I wanted to remove the alert, and tried to block the bootloader, I used the command: fastboot flashing lock, and asked to flash again from a rom, but at the moment I did not have the files and just rebooted.
So I got that yellow alert, everything works normally, but I wanted to fix this problem, so I can make updates via OTA in the future.
Sorry for the bad English.

When you tried to re-flash the GPT and bootloader, what do you mean by 'it did not work'? Did it not flash? If not, try this GPT/bootloader: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13AuJkn8eelq-wQ5wp7lNQTf7kT7_lLwI/view?usp=sharing That should be from the April 2018 image.
Yeah, unless you have a fully clean flash of all the same firmware (no March 2017/April 2018), it's a really bad idea to re-lock your bootloader as you've found out.
You do not need to re-lock your bootloader to receive OTA updates at all. However, having a device all on the same firmware (bootloader, system, modem etc all matching) is a really good idea, else you may just keep hard bricking when you try to take OTA updates. In theory you could hard brick and try again, but with the flashing issues you're having at the moment, you may not be able to rescue your device, so I'd advise against it.
You could flash a custom logo.bin to hide the bootloader warning, but you may not be able to use OTA updates unless you revert back to stock and then use the OTA update.
I'd suggest re-downloading the fastboot image onto another computer, install ADB (please try to flash the latest ADB tools, minimal ADB v1.4.3 or the Google ADB tools) and try the process again - it could be due to your computer. If it's still occurring, then it may be that your device is having some issues.
The fastboot image should be:

When you tried to re-flash the GPT and bootloader, what do you mean by 'it did not work'? Did it not flash? If not, try this GPT/bootloader: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13AuJkn8eelq-wQ5wp7lNQTf7kT7_lLwI/view?usp=sharing That should be from the April 2018 image.
Yeah, unless you have a fully clean flash of all the same firmware (no March 2017/April 2018), it's a really bad idea to re-lock your bootloader as you've found out.
You do not need to re-lock your bootloader to receive OTA updates at all. However, having a device all on the same firmware (bootloader, system, modem etc all matching) is a really good idea, else you may just keep hard bricking when you try to take OTA updates. In theory you could hard brick and try again, but with the flashing issues you're having at the moment, you may not be able to rescue your device, so I'd advise against it.
You could flash a custom logo.bin to hide the bootloader warning, but you may not be able to use OTA updates unless you revert back to stock and then use the OTA update.
I'd suggest re-downloading the fastboot image onto another computer, install ADB (please try to flash the latest ADB tools, minimal ADB v1.4.3 or the Google ADB tools) and try the process again - it could be due to your computer. If it's still occurring, then it may be that your device is having some issues.
The fastboot image should be:

When I did the GPT / bootloader flash (gpt and boot) process, there was apparently no change.
do you suggest doing the flash with that (bootloader.img and gpt.bin) now? to remove this alert?
in fact this alert does not bother me, but I intend to remove it for future upgrade via OTA.
finally I will try to redo the process with ADB v1.4.3.

I did all the procedures, separated and together, with no results.
I made a "Format Factory" for the recovery and did the rom flash again also did not work.
it is in the same way.

OTA updates should work with or without that warning you're trying to remove - updates don't appear to care if you have a locked or unlocked bootloader. You do need a clean system (no modifications) and also you require a system matching your bootloader.
What system are you on now, are you still on the March 2017 firmware or on the April 2018 firmware? If you're on the March 2017 firmware still, I would suggest do not use OTA updates.

ainda esta no firmware de março de 2017!
Tive uma ideia de desbloquear o bootloader e instalar o TWRP e colocar uma custom rom. No entanto, o código de desbloqueio não pode ser encontrado no site da motorola, mas sim o desbloqueio do bootloader.
Pois bem, o probloma aqui é o bootloader !!
Estou sem ideias de como prosseguir.
Sera que quando sair de novo update, (talvez algum) de certo o processo?

good news!!! solved problem.
What did I do:
I used the command: fastboot flashing unlock
then he asked to repeat the command and then unlocked the bootloader, with the alert that was yellow turned red.
There I did the rom flash of April 2018 and it went without errors.
rom update and no bootloader alert.
echo92 thank you very much for your attention. big hug!!!
