Brick moto g4 xt1622 - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

Hi, yesterday i have unlock bootloader of my moto g4, xt 1622 , i have flashed twrp and this is perfect, but after i have flashed zip of magisk.zip for root permission, when i reboot i obtain only black screen and led white ( intermittence led) .
The device is recognize by windows 10 (in test mode and no signature driver verify ) but not in tray bar..
Mode recognized by pc are:
in fast boot like " fastboot athene_13mp S " in "other device"
In adb mode " sideload" ( from stock recovery) like "Moto g4 plus " in device manager/usb devices"
I have stock recovery and can't start blank flash because the device isn t recognized by pc like qualcomm device..
What can i do??? Thanks a lot my friends!!

The problem is that magisk is not compatible with the Stock kernel, so if you want magisk you need to flash a custom kernel, i recomend this: https://elementalx.org/devices/moto-g4/ you need to flash the kernel and after this flash magisk.
Regards

Wow! So the phone is save? ?
And what can i flash pther kernel, can i have a guide plz? Can i flash with sideload? Thanks!

Yes, you need to enter un recovery, conect your phone to pc and with adb put in the cmd adb sideload nameofyourzip.zip and then flash magisk with sideload if hoy wanr

Unfortunately i recive this error.. what can i do? Thanks!!

Ok, first you need to install twrp: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...p-twrp-3-0-2-2-recovery-moto-g4-plus-t3386586
Then you need to go in twrp to avanced and adb sideload and flash it.

Hmm, can you confirm if you have stock Marshmallow (6.0.1) or Nougat (7.0) on your device? I see from the stock recovery version that it's 6.0.1/MPJ24.139-23-4 (a really old build of Marshmallow).

Thanks ismael! I m going to try it
@ECHO first of this mods, the smartphone have nougat full stock. When i have installed twrp the sistem started normally, but when i flashed magisk the sistem started with black screen, before this i ve factory reset and flash a zip of stock rom.. and start a very problem!!
Thaks a lot to all for help me and sorry for my bad english.

Thanks, as Ismael034202 pointed out above, if you were on stock Nougat, then you will need to flash a custom kernel, as rooting on the stock Motorola Nougat kernel will cause a boot failure. If you were still on Nougat, then you could have followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-root-moto-g4-plus-supersu-android-t3587918 with flashing magisk instead of SuperSU.
As you've re-flashed the old Marshmallow stock ROM, then you do not need a custom kernel (Marshmallow stock ROM kernels are less strict about rooting), flashing TWRP and then flashing magisk should work on Marshmallow.
However, you need to be very careful if you revert back to full stock - as you've appeared to have downgraded from Nougat, taking OTA updates may hard brick your device. If you can remember what Nougat stock ROM you had before unlocking your device, I would recommend downloading a copy of that stock ROM and using the stock ROM to update. Try not to use stock OTA updates.

Very well explained echo92. +1 ?

what can i flash somethings?? because usb debug is off after wipe dataa, and i can t enter in android to activate it!! plz help

Hmm, in that case, the easiest way may be to flash the latest stock ROM to your device and start over again. As an alternative, do you have a TWRP backup of your device?
For XT1622, you'll likely want NPJS25.93-14-13 (Nougat, 7.0 stock, December 2017 security patch) firmware from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
Download and extract as directed in the post, and to flash to repair your device, use the following flashing commands:
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

This should not re-lock your bootloader. Next, download TWRP, ElementalX and magisk and flash as I suggested in the guide above. The basic guide for rooting on Nougat is:
a)Flash/boot TWRP. Backup your device.
b)Flash ElementalX.
c)Flash magisk or SuperSU.
d)Wipe cache/Dalvik in TWRP.
e)Reboot and wait for boot.
f)Any issues, revert to your backup made in a)

Can i use fastboot within debug usb off? Because i recive an error, i m tryng and post a pic.
Thanks
This is my situation after try to use fastboot

Hace you installed Motorola drivers for pc, you can use fastboot without USB debugging
https://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/rola/es/solution/MS89882 This os the link for the fastboot drivers

Thanks guys!! I had write the stock 7.0!! Now the phone is perfect!! Thanks!!
I had wrong driver and pc not recognized the phone!! Now yes ??

Now install twrp, elementalX Kernel, magisk and enjoy

Anyone knows a Recovery, which is compatible with the new bootloader?
Go to development section and check recovery threads, it's clearly mentioned there with what it's compatible. Small hint, latest TWRP for example.

No, New TWRP isnt compartible with this update. I have tested it! I think the Problem is the partition, with the update the partition is smaller
I downloded it, i was GPE 5.0.1, tryed to flash via fastboot but the phone dont boot, its blocked @ bootloder unlocked image. the install seems to have no errors... any ideas?

Also you don't need to use superuser flashable by custom recovery,
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/chainfire-releases-android-5-0-root-moto-g-moto-x-2013-2014-editions/
For all Moto G variants, and works fine. Just turn on into fastboot mode, plug in phone (remember to have enabled USB Debuging in developer options), unzip archive and run windows bat to root device. I can confirm it's working as tested by myself. No custom recovery needed, just unlocked bootloader (obviously) and it's done.
I'm proposing to follow this guide for theaking
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/tweaks-motorola-stock-5-0-2-basic-tweaks-t3012488

I just flashed TWRP and the flashable SuperSU. No need for CF Autoroot.
I just let twrp do it. Just boot into twrp, reboot to system. It will ask if you want to root it. Continue, it will reboot to system and prompt you to update su via play store.

Mine errors out when trying to install the system.img is it because I am rooted? What do I do to fix this i'll assume my phone won't work till I fix it?
This is when using the flash-all script

You may have to flash each individually, in know when flashing 5.0.1 the script wouldn't work for me

The flash all rarely works. You can use something like Wugfresh's Nexus Root Toolkit, or follow these:

fastboot cache cache.img
fastboot recovery recovery.img
fastboot system system.img
fastboot userdata userdata.img
or can i skip steps and/or replace recovery.img with my TWRP.img file
sorry to be a pain it's been forever since I've had to custom flash anything.

logo.bin has nothing to do with WiFi working/not-working, at all.
Flash NON-HLOS.bin from the stock image using fastboot. If SuperSU got installed as system root, backup everything, re-flash the stock MPHS24.49-18-4 firmware, flash TWRP, then SuperSU as systemless.
And since that firmware thread is discombobulated and somewhat outdated, the correct commands to flash the firmware is
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin

If TWRP doesn't stick after trying Reboot > Recovery, flash it once more. While in there, go to Mount and checkmark System. Then go back to Advanced > File Manager and either delete, or add ".bak" to the following files:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.cfg
/system/etc/recovery-resource.dat
That should make it stick.
Thank you very much Sir!
TWRP will fix itself... Once you flash TWRP and start it, go to Reboot in TWRP and select Recovery, the device will restart and TWRP will load, it will stay from now on.

OTA update fails

Hi,
my situation is this:
1.) I had installed TWRP + Root + Xposed + Stock Android 6.0.1 and everything worked fine.
2.) Then came the last OTA update notification.
3.) I picked an old backup when i had only TWRP installed and the rest was untouched.
4.) When the backup was done i picked the recovery.img file from this .rar XT1602_HARPIA_MPI24.241-15.3_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml (4) and flashed it with mfastboot. (USB Debugging Enabled, Fastboot Mode Enabled)
5.) I started the Recovery Mode and ended with the "Dead Android Guy". Even though i was able to reach the stock recovery menu using a key combination (POWER+VOL UP+VOL DN at the same time)
6.) Restart the phone
7.) Download the OTA Update
8.) Tried to install it but ended always with an error
9.) Phone restart -> "An error occured during the OTA update"...
Everytime when i try to reach the stock recovery i always see the dead android guy first. Ive also tried to wipe the cache+wipe data + factory mode. But nothing helps. How the hell can i fix that and install the last OTA update (and why did that happen to me -.-?)
EDIT
I managed to solve the problem by flashing every single file of the firmware. Heres a list:
mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin

In the stock the dead droid always cames before the stock Recovery, don't worry about it.
Same problem here. I've got an XT1602 with 6.0.1. stock and Oct 2016 security patches and an OTA update is available, but fails to install. TWRP says error 7, stock displays the dead droid.
I have my phone rooted, but installed a system backup before installing the OTA.
Flashing stock from here leads to 6.0.1. with July patches, but no OTA update available.
Any Ideas? Can anyone provide a a newer stock rom?
@sevenRA1 are you sure you're on the latest version? can you please check your security patch level?
Yes im very sure. Security Level is now Feb. 2017 and when i search for new updates it doesnt find some. Do what i did. Flash every single file by hand. Heres a How To.

ValdarX did you manage to solve this problem? I've got the same thing: restored to stock (saving the user data) and no more OTA available, so stuck on an old version. I guess maybe only full recovery to stock will work.
Excuse me, I would like to do the same thing, in order to prepare for nougat. My phone is bought from vodafone romania, vodafone branded. It is harpia xt1604. Its specs are shown in picture. Could I flash the Harpia XT1602 firmware RETAIL from here to have it unbranded and to get the latest updates?
Thank you.

unfortunately not
I have the same issue. I've tried several times to install the update on my stock xt1607 and it fails every time. I've restored my stock backup from immediately after I unlocked my bootloader...totally unmodified. I get an error in stock recovery saying there was an unexpected change to /system. I even flashed the stock boot logo again, just in case. My only remaining option is a full factory flash, to be completely sure the /system is unmodified.
me too
Before rooting, I did backups of untouched /system /boot, recovery and logo partition.
I've carefully followed this howto and it doesn't work definitively.

On second attempt, I've tried this without success :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71461568&postcount=64
After rebooting, "Parameters>>About Phone>>System Update" says my phone is up to date and I'm unable to get the OTA. I tried to apply the OTA (Blur_Version.24.201.8.harpia.retail.en.US.zip) downloaded with my current version (MPIS24.241-15.3-7) , I got another error :
Package expects build thumbprint of 6.0.1/MPIS24.241-15.3-16/17 .... or 6.0.1/MPIS24.241-15.3-7/8 ... ; this device has 6.0.1/MPIS24.241-15.3-3/3
So at now, I'm blocked at security level Oct 2016.
Anybody to help us ?

Did you try to flash the stock rom through fastboot? Including recovery?
Yes, but I flashed only boot.img, logo.bin, recovery.img, system.img_sparsechunk.0 till 7.
I'm a little bit nervous to do a full flash and to be stick with July Patch like ValdarX at comment #6. After a full flash, if something goes wrong, I won't be able to restore my backup.
Edit :
What about to keep my data, can I safely skip erase userdata ?
What is the purpose of the customize partition ?

No need to worry, the only thing you are missing is. It may be possible that you installed fiware not contain Moto upgrade sevice. You should download this from play store. Or download the correct fiware from firmwarecentre

Yes im very sure. Security Level is now Feb. 2017 and when i search for new updates it doesnt find some. Do what i did. Flash every single file by hand..

I stand corrected, that works. I'm on Feb 2017 security patches now. Didn't even have to erase userdata.
I have the same issues again with the next security update -.-
@hamelg Your advice fixed nothing for me. This night ill flash the whole stock image again.
Does anybody have any experience how/whether this works if the only image available for your phone model now involves a downgrade?
My phone (XT1602 reteu) was delivered with a July 2016 patch level, which corresponds to the only stock image (the XT1602 RETAIL one) I see available for it.
Flashing that to unroot, apply the OTA updates (up to February 2017) and then re-root worked fine, but what about a repeat performance? I originally assumed I could simply start with that stock image again and then apply all OTAs (including any new ones) once more, but I've since learned that the bootloader (and partition table) isn't necessarily downgradable and might cause problems with reapplying the OTAs after downgrading the rest of the phone.
Although at least for the time being never mind - it seems like there are now RETAIL images for both February and May patch levels floating around, which avoids any need to downgrade.

Need some advice for my xt1562

I'm new here, so sorry if this is a duff post.
I've done searches to no avail.
I bought my x play second hand. It's been rooted to a none stock android 7.0. I'm having issues with sd card being unrecognised. I've read that this could be a motherboard problem. I've checked it with a number of different cards that all work absolutely fine on other devices.
My question is, would it help if I returned my phone to stock then upgraded to the proper versions of android via the download direct to phone?
If so, is there an updated method? The one I tried to follow uses SDK but the instructions seem to be for an old version (it's a 2015 post) as the version of Android Studio I installed seems to be unrecognisable from what is being described. I'm not savvy enough with these systems to work out what I need to do instead.
Thanks in advance.
Another thought, would it be worth installing a different none stock ROM?
if you are rooted, install twrp and try other custom rom

Thanks for replying, I really appreciate the effort.
A lot of this is just words on my screen. I may be able to work out what some of this means given time. Which folders am I putting stuff in? On phone or PC? Also the top 2 http adresses are the same, is this intentional?
Thanks again.
my mistake. edited links. fastboot on pc and extract marshmallow pack inside adb folder. look at screen
Will LTE work on this MM 6.0.1 ROM?

Will LTE work fine with this MM 1-Oct-2016 ROM?
Also instead of running all these commands one after another, can you please point me to a .zip file, which i can directly flash it from TWRP like other ROMs? Thats much easier for me than running all these commands manually.

lte works normaly.
you need find backup from stock that can be installed from twrp. i don't have it. adb fastboot method is faster. and you don't read all my answers. you don't need use commands, just 1 file.
Really appreciate the links and steps!!! Thanks.

Currently I am running on LIneageOS Nougat 7.1.1. I am planning to do this downgrade to MM if I really don't like the battery backup on Nougat 7.1.1.
Really appreciate the links and steps!!! Thanks.

BTW, one question. How do you run that single batch file?
... restart phone to bootloader, connect to pc, and run this file.
Okay, I've now discovered that TWRP is already installed. Can I use any xt1562 zipped Rom or does it need to be specific to TWRP. I've put the zip on my phone ready to go and done a nandroid backup but wanted to check first before I hit install.
Thanks again
