XT1625 fastboot complains about security version downgrade - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

My XT1625 was acting up so badly I couldn't even do a factory reset within the OS (which had been upgraded to the April security fix). Note this is the Amazon version and the bootloader is locked.
I'm trying to flash ATHENE_AMZ_NPJ25.93-14.7_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC
and I get messages like:

Any suggestions? I called up Motorola and they want $125 for a replacement, which hardly seems worth it given the age of the phone.

Hmm, did you get the NPJS25.93-14-18 update via OTA or by manually updating? I didn't realise the AMZ channel had NPJS25.93-14-18.
Unfortunately, that NPJ25.93-14.7 AMZ firmware is the Sept 2017 firmware, which if you've formally updated to the April 2018 firmware will not flash properly (as you've found out, it's too old to flash, hence the security downgrade errors). I'm not sure why you've still got the B1:06 bootloader on your device if you've updated your system/modem to the April 2018 firmware - a mismatch like that on a locked bootloader may cause boot issues/boot failures.
Unless you can unlock your bootloader (which if your OEM unlocking toggle is off, you won't be able to), you'd have to wait for the NPJS.25.93-14.7-8 stock ROM to come out, which is the AMZ equivalent of the April 2018 stock ROM (the OTA update to the AMZ US XT1625 was shown in this post by Danny1976 https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/april-security-ota-update-usa-t3800523 ). Flashing that should repair your device and get it going. However, I've no idea if it's been leaked or will be leaked.
Alternatively, if you don't want to wait, the only other suggestions would be to pay Motorola to replace the device/motherboard, find a service centre to perhaps re-flash the stock ROM for you or buy a new device.

Can't get past fastboot (XT1575)

So I just got one of these off my friend and I'm trying to get it up and running. I can't currently get past boot. If I let it go it boot loops, if I boot into recovery it boot loops... if I do anything other than "Boot loader logs", QR Codes or Restart bootloader it bootloops. I've spent the last 2 hours trying to find a solution around but I'm not finding anything close to what I need. I've tried the return to stock tool in the development section. It gets a bunch of errors when it's trying to flash stuff (Remote Failures). I can post that code if needed. I can get into fastboot but nowhere past it. I think the problem may stem from me having a locked bootloader (it's unable to be unlocked, already tried that on Moto's site). Is there any way I can unbrick this thing?
EDIT: Had formatting wrong on the unlock code. it is eligible. Waiting on the code now.
EDIT 2: Can't unlock because Allow OEM Unlock isn't on in dev options... but I can't get to dev options since I can't get into the OS... -.-
EDIT 3: Reading around it seems like I SHOULD be able to flash stock firmware even with a locked bootloader so long as it passes preflash verification. I've downloaded 18-8, 18-4 and 18_cid7 from here: https://androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=44735 which is where the official Motorola builds are hosted. None of them have passed preflash verification.

Which, if I'm reading right says the current version is 18-8. Is it possibly due to carrier that it's not flashing?
Last Edit: Alright I give up. I've downloaded every one off the official page, over 7GB of images total. Not a single one passes pre-flash verification. This is so aggravating. If anyone could point me in SOME direction at all so I don't lose my mind I'd be forever greatful. I've filed for a warranty, fully expecting this to be unfixable. Will be sending it Monday.
This is your version:
(bootloader) ro.build.version.full[0]:Blur_Version.24.221.8.clark_retus
You have to wait for it or Nougat(flashable).
With locked BL you cannot do anything except warranty repair.
@TraMaI
Ps.
Retus - cid9 is for you.
So basically I have to wait for a version they haven't put out yet? How long does it usually take for them to post them?
Use the retus 18-8 version, do not flash bootloader.img or gpt.bin but continue through everything else.
Will probably bootloop first time, boot into recovery (after flashing it) and perform a factory reset, then reboot and give it a minimum 20 minutes.
BTW, Factory Reset Protection is active "(bootloader) frp-state: protected (75)", so you will need the last Google account used on that device to access it... otherwise it's a brick.

xt1642 detected as moto g4 instead of g4+

Hello,
I have a big problem, my fingerprint and dual sim is not working anymore on stock. The device detects my phone as a G4 not G4 Plus.
I have tried many firmwares but it all seems to make no difference.

No solution that works has been found yet. It pretty much has always boiled down to a trip to the service center.
Same issue here but with an xt1644. I got this after trying to reflash stock N running the same fastboot script that I originally upgraded to nougat on. Reverted to stock M, restored TWRP backups - no success - so it doesn't seem software related - at least not on any of the partitions that successfully flash. gpt.bin gives errors when trying to flash downgrade as does the bootloader so maybe it is related to these partitions if it is software. The march security update messes with the bootloader I believe.
If anyone has taken their phone to a service center, was there any indication on what they do to fix it? codGmer - what did you do just before this issue appeared?
I've tried to get back to stock and didn't know about flashing gpt.bin and bootloader.img could break the system. So I flashed those and after that my device wouldn't boot anymore and after I got it working again my fingerprint function was gone.
I just send my phone out to repair where I bought it. I have bricked my bootloader with some qualcom tool so the phone wouldn't boot anymore just flashing light to fake the device being broken by faulty hardware. Also the Costs of returning unrepaired to me will be paid for me.

Lost IMEI Numbers XT1685

Hi I tried to flash this to stock (using POTTER_NPNS25.137-33-11_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip) and now my IMEI numbers are lost. How do i get them back?
Can I request your get var info please, see what state your device is in?
To get the info:
Boot your device to bootloader.
Connect to your computer.
In the ADB terminal, type 'fastboot getvar all' without quotes. Press enter on your keyboard.
Copy paste the output here please. You may wish to remove your IMEI if present in the output.
Can I ask what firmware you had on your device before flashing the stock ROM, and where you got the ROM from? Have you tried flashing the non HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn partitions?

I had Lineage OS on there and wanted to go back to stock and relock bootloader. So I followed the instructions to relock from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/how-to-lock-bootloader-potter-version-t3694952 flashed everything, locking bootloader also worked and when i booted into the ROM everything was good except both IMEI were just "0" and i could not get network.
Anyway I have managed to solve it for now. I had a EFS backup on an SD Card. I unlocked bootloader again and restored the Lineage OS with the EFS partition and the IMEI are back! But I still don't know how to go back to stock. I guess for my model XT1685 there is no stock ROM? it seems I flashed the US ROM. For the first boot network worked but was 3G only and when I rebooted both my IMEI were lost.
Repeated the process and happened again!

At least you got your device working again.
Hmm, the NPNS25.137-33-11 firmware should work for XT1685 retEU (and I imagine retGB too) devices. I would like to see your getvar info to confirm though. There's plenty of reports saying that NPNS25.137-33-11 is targeted towards retEU devices (e.g https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/how-to/update-npns25-137-33-11-august-2017-t3665211/page2)
Did you mean you flashed the US retail stock ROM before though? If so, losing IMEI/network access seems to be a common problem when switching between stock ROMs designed for different territories.
If you've flashed the US stock ROM before, you may have to look into flashing US specific ROMs e.g. NPN25.137-83, which should be the latest US ROM. However, as you've got an XT1685, you may no longer receive OTA updates, depending on what software channel your device reports.

Thanks for the info, so it looks like your device still has NPNS25.137-33-11 (August 2017 security patch) on it.
However, the software channel of retapac gives me concern, as searching for Moto G5 Plus retapac firmwares seems to report that Moto G5 Plus XT1685 models for that channel are on a different firmware path compared to their retEU models.
At least one user, with a XT1685 on retapac, has reported being on the NPN25.137-15, then NPN25.137-67 and now NPN25.137-67-6 (August 2017) firmware. https://www.reddit.com/r/motog5/comments/6zqlkt/just_get_august_update_on_retapac_channel/
If that is the case, then that would be an explanation for the loss of IMEI when flashing the EU firmware, as your device is more in line with the Indian/Brazil firmware paths.
However, I'm having difficulty finding NPNS25.137-67-6 stock firmware, and given you have the August security patch, I do not recommend flashing the NPN25.137-15 (Jan 2017) firmware nor the NPN25.137-67 (March 2017) firmware, else if you take OTA updates you've got a high risk of hard bricking from the cross downgrading of firmware.
The only thing I can suggest is to perhaps wait for a newer retapac firmware than Aug 2017, depending on when/if it'll be leaked from Motorola. However, as I mentioned, cross flashing firmware is risky (as you've found out), so if you can, I'd probably avoid flashing stock firmware altogether. You may wish to look into the TWRP flashables which don't touch your bootloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/development/rom-twrp-flashable-stock-builds-t3675616

That is interesting. How do I have a UK charging brick on a retapac? Maybe its a Singapore model? I assumed it was GB as it had the UK plug.
Sorry for the inconvenience, I suffer a similar problem but when I use the command fastboot getvar all my imei and serial number appear, but when I start the device it says "imei 0"
same as here..did you find solution?
I have lost IMEI...below is getvar information..please help me which is correct firmware

Hi guys
can someone give me the EFS backup for XT1685 I Lost my IMEI numbers forever I can't get them again and I didn't backup before flashing a custom ROM. So I broke everything now ??

Flashing someone else's EFS will not get your IMEI back. Also their EFS contains "their" info and should not be shared.

I have same issue and Moto Service has refused to help.
If I am not mistaken, this is defect in OEM firmware, which is reason why they may be having issues with Oreo 8.1 upgrade. Someone at Moto has no keys for OEM boot loader. Earlier Alphadog would help, but now he says contact customer service.
Waiting to see if my assumption is correct. So far Oreo 8.1 OTA not received. Motorola web site also says it will no more receive security patches.

How has Motorola service failed to help? They couldn't generate a code for you? It's possible that only a motherboard repair or replacement can fix the bootloader unlock problem, especially if there are parameters missing from the getvar info.
Our device is over 2 years old, and for our device was only slated to get 2 major updates and 2 years of security patches. Do you have an active SIM card in your device?
I gave up trying to fix it, sold it, and bought another.

That's the right decision. That could also be reason their Oreo update has failed miserably. No more security patches will be released.
