How can I repair my soft bricked XT1622? - Moto G4 Questions & Answers

Hello!
Something went wrong, I think it's called a soft brick, although I'm not sure.
I was trying to root my Moto G4 / Athene / XT1622, which was running Android 7.0 (NPJ25.93-11). I followed the sticky guide, except for the backup (I lacked a free microSD card) and ElementalX kernel parts, AND I forgot to wipe dalvik cache when it was asked. I did a lot of mistakes, it'll teach me to be more careful. :-/
After flashing Magisk, when I tried to reboot into Android, all I got was a black screen. I'm still able to boot to bootloader or recovery using the volume down + power buttons combination.
So I went back to TWRP and tried to flash LineageOS 14.1 + pico OpenGApps, then stock NPJ25.93-11 (Android 7.0), then stock MPJ24.139-23 (Android 6.0.1), none of which worked.
It looks like that at some point in the process I messed up the partition table (TWRP reports errors about them when trying to flash LineageOS).
Yet, as soon as I launch "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin", which is the first part of a stock recovery, I get:
Code:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.004s]
writing 'partition'...
(bootloader) Security version downgrade
(bootloader) Image primary_gpt failed validation
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.040s
(Same result with Android 6.0 or Android 7.0 factory images)
Any suggestion please?

try flash using RSDLite

Oops, I forgot to reply to myself, but I've been able to unbrick it following these steps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75005815&postcount=5
So my problem is solved, thank you anyway!

I tried doing everything, not rebooting to recovery either. If i try to restore stock factory images it says device:locked. When I try to unlock bootloader it says failed. I am going nuts from the past 4 hours trying to fix this. Please someone help me out. I have a feeling my EMMC got damaged or corrupted. And I followed the steps to the last letter. Also I am not such a noob that I will do stupid steps or forget performing a single step. Please help me out. I am not able to reboot into recovery using fastboot either.

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.

XT1575 Stuck in bootloop

My phone was working great (rooted), and just this morning it freezed.
I hard rest it, and it reloaded to system and then freezed again after a short time.
Tried to re load it and it was stuck for more than 15 min in the boot animation.
Tried to get into TWRP, it showed the TWRP image but then rebooted.
Re flash TWRP 3.0.2, tried to enter into it but again rebooted.
Reinstalled the phone using
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/pure-firmware-tuff-wip-t3224833
with "Moto X Pure 3rd Gen (2015) XT1575 MPH24.49-18-3.zip" (using all the fastboot other than fastboot erase userdata)
After the reboot the phone shows the "warning bootloader unlocked" screen, a short vibration, keep this screen for 30 sec, and then turns off and do it all again.
When I try to get into recovery mode I see the "warning bootloader unlocked" screen followed by a broken droid image with the writing "No command."
Any idea on what can be done to save my phone?
Trying to restore on my other pc.
using "Moto X Pure 3r Gen (2015) - X2 WE-LTE-2CA - North America US Retail XT1575 MPH24.49-18_18.zip"
witch I once downloaded from Motorola, I run the first command:

You might need a newer version of ADB/Fastboot. I remember having a similar issue previously when flashing a stock ROM and had to update my software. It's not a guarantee, just a suggestion.

Ooms
on my primary PC I downloaded "Minimal ADB and Fastboot"
and still the same error.
tested on my laptop (on it i did my first try) and here i can run this command

opend and flashed it.
Now I have the M logo instead of the "warning bootloader unlocked" screen but still on the boot loop.
Very strange, but after only flashing the logo.bin, the phone menus in the fastboot changed abit (look to me like the old version) but still no recovery.
Also see that on "fastboot flash system system.img"
I get an error:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
Invalid sparse file format at header magi
but than it sends the file and keep writing OKAY
So some thing is still working down there.... juts need to find the correct stuff to flash on it?
Solved!!
Ive tried some more images to flush.
at the end used XT1575_CLARK_RETUS_6.0_MPHS24.49-18-3_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC
The phone did a very long boot but at the end it loaded into the system and managed to get my lost photos.
Then reflashed TWRP -> restored my last image and every thing is now working as before.

US996 stuck in fastboot

I used LG's Web Chat Support, told them what happened. They were very accommodating and sent me a prepaid shipping label. They classified it as an "In Warranty - Software Failure", fixed it and shipped it back to me.
They did this even though they knew it was bootloader unlocked. Took about 2.5 weeks total to get it back.

Any suggestions?
What do you mean by TWRP not flashing, do you mean the error that appears or not having TWRP present after flashing?
What happens if you reboot directly to recovery after you flash? That error is normal and usually if you boot normally after flashing TWRP the stock recovery will overwrite the TWRP. By booting to recovery you'll fix TWRP and thus should be able to boot as normal afterwards.
Of course, do not accept OTA updates if you're choosing to stay on stock ROMs with TWRP flashed.
