So basically I need to relock the bootloader, I have the prime variant.
I flashed via fastboot
ATHENE_AMZ_MPJ24.139-64
However it won't let me relock the stupid bootloader.
I get the "Still require signed boot.img" message.
Any suggestions?
I have found two problems with trying to oem lock the Moto G4 amazon prime variant. First you need to use the fastboot provided by motorola and second you have to run oem unlock twice before you flash the images otherwise it doesn't check if the images are signed at all.
You can get the official factory images here (make sure to get the one that matches your model number): https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images#
I am able to get past that message by flashing boot after running:
./Linux/fastboot flash boot boot.img
but I get stuck at "Still require signed system.img and/or oem.img"
Here is what I have tried:

I got it to work after flashing the oem chunks from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4/development/unbrick-hard-bricked-moto-g4-amazon-t3486578
xt1625
Unlocked bootloader.
TWRP 3.1.1-0 currently while I troubleshoot.
I need to get this device back to stock, unrooted, bootloader locked. I am aware the warranty is gone.
I have tried flashing like 3 different versions of the stock firmware. I can flash the ROM no issue, but it WILL NOT LOCK the bootloader no matter what I do. All of the guides I've found involve this:
Code:
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot
business, and it just does not work to lock the bootloader for me. I still get the "a signed boot.img is required" error, even after flashing a stock presumably signed boot.img 20 seconds prior. If I don't flash to Lineage in between tries, it won't even let me reflash boot.img or system etc because it'd be a "Security downgrade".
Is there a bullet-proof way to just bomb this thing from orbit with a stock 6.X image so that it locks the bootloader?
I did mine a few weeks ago. If you are on nugget here is the stock image for 1625

Do you mean that you were able to flash and re-lock?
I just used the firmware you provided, no luck though. Still getting the "Still require signed boot.img" error when it tried to finish up the oem lock. And it appears it doesn't actually flash correctly either, version is still 6.0.1. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

I think I gave u the wrong address. Here is the one I used, I just uploaded it to make sure. Yes I used it to relock the bootloader.
ATHENE_NPJS25.93-14-4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
I'm not sure why that firmware worked differently than all the others I tried, but thanks! It did work, bootloader is once again locked. Appreciate the help.

Hi There,
I hope someone can advise and possibly provide help resolving this problem.
The Moto G4 is not able to boot to OS, It only boots into bootloader, cannot go into recovery and cannot go into Factory Mode etc.
The error i get on the phone is....
"Start Up Failed"
Failed to verify hab image boot
Failed to verify boot image
ERROR: Failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot
Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from normal boot mode
I have tried to clear fb_mode and tried to unlock the bootloader without success.
I have tried various stock roms to get this fixed. The phone has never been unlocked and not been rooted.

what have you done to your phone at the first place when it was working? did you unlock bootloader? were you flashing some customised roms? have your try to root? ... or something else?
Hi,
Nothing like rooting flashing roms etc. I think an update installed and booted to the Start Up Failed error.
Thanks,
Phatzy

If you bought your phone in last year, chances are it probably came with the August patch or maybe the one earlier than August. I don't know which patch people who bought the phone this year are on out-of-the-box. RETIN devices are on 137-92-8 (March security patch) and the full fastboot ROM for 92-8 isn't available yet. If you recently updated or your phone was fully up-to-date before things got messy, chances are you were on the March patch. The only latest fastboot ROM available is 137-92-4 which I forgot which month was it for (please post the month if you know it).

There is a possibility if you end up downgrading. But then again, I haven't tried anything with my phone yet so I might not know the outcome or I maybe be wrong

ok i wait fot it. Thanks Yoy.
I've had my G4+ rooted for quite a while and i need to format it so my mom can have it since I recently changed to a OnePlus 6T.
I tried to use the factory reset from the settings (seems like it was a big mistake on my part) and it didn't work, so I'm now trying to flash a stock rom through adb (I'd done this before), but I don't know what I need to do at this point, I'm at a loss, I even tried the commands to flash the rom and it seems to copy the system files but some stuff fails in the process.. I don't know what to do, did I just brick my device? please help
In case that helps, I have TWRP installed
And I think this might help, I personally don't know what to do with this info but this is what the command prompt throws back at me when trying to flash the custom rom while in bootloader mode:

Also, I tried wiping system, data, cache and dalvik-cache and here's what TWRP says: TWRP Errors
I get similar errors when trying to install my stock zip (from the external sd, I don't have an OTG cable right now so I copied to the sd card)
Is it possible the bootloader was re-locked with fastboot?
What's the ROM version you're trying to flash? Assuming TWRP hasn't been replaced by stock recovery and you can still load it, it would be interesting to know what kind of errors happen if you tried a TWRP flashable ROM instead of a fastboot ROM. Use the phone's internal storage (/sdcard directory) and avoid using an external SD card. But first see if you can both format and wipe in TWRP without errors.
You don't need an OTG cable for any of this. To simplify trouble shooting, eliminate the external SD card even if temporarily.

I'm trying to flash a stock ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/general/official-stock-firmwares-added-xt1562-t3195364.
I'm still using TWRP, it wasn't replaced by stock fortunately. I'll download one or two flashable roms and see if that works.
Also, just tried to go through the process of unlocking the bootloader (in case it was re-locked as you say), and when putting the unique key and all, it says:
Code:
(bootloader) invalid boot state
And something I missed to mention now that I think about it, upon booting the phone it doesn't show the usual unlocked bootloader warning, instead its all black and it just says: "N/A" literally.
Now, upon trying to flash a TWRP flashable ROM, specifically "AFH" from the Nougat 7.0 section of this thread, I got the following:

I'm curious why you installed Moto X Play firmware to a G4 Plus. Or was the URL above a mistake and you meant this one?

That error indicates your bootloader is already unlocked. Flashing errors probably mean you're attempting to flash outdated firmware which sometimes causes problems with Motorola phones, so best to use the same or newer firmware than what was previously installed. See what happens with Oreo.
I suggest starting from scratch as cleanly as possible. I would even re-flash TWRP (official for G4 athene) for extra measure. And note the TWRP instructions about rebooting back into TWRP before flashing your Android ROM to avoid having to repeat installing TWRP. Also, the /system partition needs to be read-only if and when TWRP prompts you about it.
Format and wipe as described here: https://andi34.github.io/faq/faq_twrp.html
Then with the phone in fastboot mode and connected to your PC, flash the latest fastboot 8.1.0 ROM which will replace TWRP with stock recovery. If Android starts and runs normally after that, you should be able to re-lock the bootloader and hand it off to your mom.

You'll see the N/A notice on the boot screen when booting into recovery or a custom ROM is booting. Once stock is running N/A should go away.

Oh god, I had been using the wrong rom all this time LOL, but it was working, I mean, before all of this I had flashed that x play stock rom on the g4 plus and it was working without a problem for some reason..

Alright, so I reflashed TWRP, did the whole format and wipe thing: Format results Wipe results
I'm downloading the 8.0 image from the stock thread you linked me but its going to take a while, the servers seem to be very slow. In the meantime i tried flashing the twrp-flashable one I downloaded earlier: Image 1 Image 2 Image 3
It would seem it went okay, but I rebooted and nothing changed, so I tried flashing the X Play image i had as I had done before, but I still got errors in the process and it didn't work:

When I'm able to download the stock g4 plus image from the thread i'll try with that one and post my results, but I still don't understand what's going on
First off, whether you're flashing stock or custom, you need to stick to firmware specifically for Moto G4/G4 Plus athene. Just because firmware from a different Moto booted your phone doesn't mean it's working. Ditto for TWRP so make sure you're using the official release for G4 athene. An unofficial fork of TWRP probably won't do any harm, but for trouble shooting a stock Android install, there's no reason to stray from official TWRP.

Verify that this ROM is version 8.1.0 build OPJ28.111-22 or the more recent build OPJ28.111-22-1. If the ROM is literally version 8.0 that's not right.
Based on your fastboot errors, I'm wondering at this point if partitions have been mangled and even the correct firmware isn't going to flash successfully. Even if the phone boots and everything appears well at first glance, you could find out something is terribly wrong. Like the radio not working because EFS partitions (IMEI) are messed up.
Right now I'm not sure how to advise. I'm tempted to say "blankflash" but I don't think you're there yet because the phone is starting and you can load recovery. Let's hope somebody with more experience chimes in.
For now I suggest disregarding TWRP flashable ROMs and plan on getting through this with adb and fastboot.
I decided to give it another try, from the start:
Formatted data, then dalvik + system + cache, no problems, no red messages or anything lol

Now, it says ID: bad key instead of ID: N/A, and there's the android mascot with its belly open saying: No command.
So yeah, didn't work.. I guess I'll look into the blankflash process but I have never done that before
EDIT: weird af thing just happened, I started the blankflash.bat from the guide while I was in fastboot but it was kinda stuck in "waiting for device" so i decided to close and reboot, and now it seems to be loading with the moto and lenovo logos... Now it seems to be working properly lol, this feels weird

After a clean install like this the first boot-up can take abnormally long. You probably just needed to wait it out. So is the phone starting and running now?
TWRP's output appears scary at first but looks like it flashed normally. All those "not found" messages during the ROM flash were followed by a bunch of "OKAY" messages. And I see that you flashed recovery.img which overwrote TWRP, so you must have seen the Android mascot in bootloader mode at some point during a reboot. All good!
If the phone is booting normally with stock recovery installed, you're ready to re-lock the bootloader if that's what you want. When the bootloader is locked the N/A and/or bad key notice will disappear along with Moto's unlocked bootloader screen. (I had it wrong in my other post; "bad key" is displayed when booting custom ROMs and custom recovery, where "N/A" is a normal part of the unlocked bootloader screen.)
Btw, blankflash is for devices that are hard bricked but you weren't even soft bricked (except for the brief time immediately after format). It's a last resort when phones play dead or partitions are scrambled. I'm glad to hear you stopped it before it did anything.
It seems to be working fine now, but there's an issue right now that I don't understand.
It only boots into the system if I go into the bootloader and restart from there. I had powered it off to save battery and powered it on right now, it goes straight to the android mascot thing with the belly open along with "No command" text. At that point I go to bootloader, click on "Start", then it boots up with the moto and lenovo logos and sounds.
From what I gather i'd say it isn't getting the command to boot up android when powering on, but no idea how to change that. I need to fix this because I know my mom will not be able to reproduce these steps in the case the phone powers off for whatever reason... Any ideas?
And also, thanks a lot for all of your help!!

It seems to be working fine now, but there's an issue right now that I don't understand.
It only boots into the system if I go into the bootloader and restart from there.

Here in the forums there should be a lot of discussion about all kinds of devices with this same problem. Solutions vary depending on what caused it.
First try a couple of cold restarts. Power off and let the phone sit a few minutes before each start up. If the system still isn't booting try clearing Dalvik cache, power off and start back up. If you're still booting straight into the bootloader try flashing the ROM all over again. You don't need TWRP recovery for this, just flash while the phone is in bootloader mode.
By chance did you flash the 7.0 Nougat ROM? If so try 8.1.0 Oreo. There are bootloop issues with Moto phones that have been downgraded.
I've been using the 8.1.0 Oreo rom. Before all of this happened it used to have a 7.0.1 rom (which I noticed it was the X Play's rom after all this time lol) and never got updated.
I flashed TWRP to wipe Dalvik, did that and rebooted, it didn't help, and after that I couldn't reach TWRP recovery through bootloader. So then I re-flashed the rom (this time changing the recovery line to flash twrp instead of stock), but nothing changed, I still can't boot the phone without going through the bootloader, not even through TWRP's Reboot > system.
Sorry I took a while to answer back, its been a busy couple of days

Sorry, but right now I'm stumped on what to try next. You don't want to duplicate this post but you might consider starting a new post on the topic of flashing the wrong firmware. I still wonder how that may have affected your partitions.
If the fight is still on, maybe this post is pertinent to your problem installing stock Android to your G4 Plus.
