I know there are threads about bypassing pattern lock. I've tried all I could find for the past two days. A lot of the threads are from 2013-14 and will not work. Phone was bought off eBay. I know I can reset, then work around FRP, but I just want to do something different this time.
Motorola G4 Play XT1607 6.0.1
Cannot flash TWRP:
Phone says: 'Mismatched partition size (recovery)'
PC says:

Sideloading anything says:

E: footer is wrong
E: signature verification failed

Other forums mention CWM to flash with but, best I can tell, it doesn't support these phones.
Please don't beat on me too hard if this is in the wrong place or just a stupid issue altogether.
Thanks

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

I recently flash the stock rom using this method, is the easiest way.

Hope this helps you...
That video is over a year old and the AFH firmware listed for G5+ isn't as complete as the latest official list here, also you don't need to install certain utilities he mentions.
HOW TO UNBRICK MOTO G5 PLUS AND RESTORE TO STOCK
I'd recommend that 4-27-17 article meant just for our phone containing a link to a toolkit with everything you need including the POTTER_NPN25.137-35 firmware. Your variant's firmware may be different though. so check in settings and get the correct one at the above link I gave, if necessary. I've successfully restored to stock several times using this method.
I have a EU Version i think. Have buy in Austria. Have download .35 but its 7.0 and not 7.1. Security Patch show me January 2017? Befor i have unlock the Bootloader its have show me March 2017 i think.

after the official update from ....update in my device .......my device was struck in boot loop ...so i tries flashing the stock rom to repair that ....during flashing it giving the above mention error ........
Only other things I can think of is perhaps holding down your power button (for up to 2-3 minutes) to force a hard shutdown, and then try booting. Alternatively, hold down both the power and volume down key, see if you can boot into the bootloader (which it looks like you can, if you're trying to fastboot the stock ROM). If so, then try to boot into the stock recovery and try a cache wipe or a factory reset (the factory reset will obviously wipe your data).
If your device is under warranty (and you did not unlock your bootloader at any point), the service centre might be the best bet for you, as we can't do anything with a locked bootloader and you're unable to boot to get to OEM unlocking...

I already apologize for my bad English.
After unlocking the bootloader of the device I decided to install TWRP and came across the following:
Yes I tested two different files and several commands as it was seen, I also tested if the device was connected and yes all right, the only thing different on the phone was the burning in NFC flex, however it occurred after trying to install TWRP .. I hope someone can help me, thank you in advance !!
