Someone on Reddit said "adb shell pm hide com.amazon.phoenix" disables the advertisement lockscreen.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] darabo:
To anyone who got the phone from Amazon, does it come with the Turbocharger?

Also it looks like Amazon will be pushing the updates for the phone instead of Motorola directly?
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] edjca:
Yes and yes. The amazon page says it comes with a quick charger and earlier posts have indicated that the phone says its software comes from Amazon.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] GaBuzz:
It's pm hide"com.amazon.phoenix" to remove ads from lockscreen but it is not permanent, they came back after a restart
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] jgore43:
I disabled all the Amazon packages I could and hid the rest. It appears to persist through reboots now.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
Mine is at the local post office to be delivered today. I did a few surveys for a company and got a bunch of Amazon credits. After the trade-in allowance on my G3 and the credits, the 32gb model cost me a whopping $16. I can live with the Amazon stuff for awhile. I probably won't unlock it immediately, but hopefully a factory image for the US model will be released eventually.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] rodalpho:
SInce the bootloader is unlockable, it probably works right away-- just need someone with brass balls to be the first to risk it.

From another forum, installing a third-party lockscreen does not work on the G4 to hide ads, even though it did work on the Amazon BLU phone. However pm hide does work. Command is:

adb shell pm hide com.amazon.phoenix

I found "XT1625-XT1644_ATHENE-RETUS_MPJ24.139-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip" in a FireFactory link that was posted in the G4 Plus forum: http://www.filefactory.com/file/3t2...PJ24.139-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

It seems correct (both model numbers line up to the US G4 and G4 Plus), but some of the other ROMs in that folder are a bit odd (like "XT1641-XT1643_ATHENE", the XT1641 is the Canadian/Mexican model, the XT1643 is the Indian model. They both have totally different sets of bands, so it's weird that there would be a stock ROM like this...)
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
That's the one thing that makes Moto so unique but so difficult. Roms are usually available for most models, but Moto has such a worldwide distribution that there are umpteen different models made. It would be nice if we can just flash a factory firmware and wipe Amazon without unlocking. A little voice in my head keeps saying though "it's not that easy Bob". :)
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
Weirdly, this goes beyond just the number of models being made. I've been documenting all of the various models and their respective bands (G4 and G4 Plus, G4 Play will come when a G4 Play forum is created), which is why it's so odd to see the CA/MX and Indian models in the same ROM file name. They have totally different sets of bands, so if you were to flash that ROM on a CA/MX or Indian model, which model's modem would you end up flashing? Very confusing :silly:

This confusion shouldn't affect us in the US though, since there is only one ROM with the US model numbers uploaded on that FileFactory page, and both models in the file name are the US models, so there shouldn't be any issues with the modem.

so I have mine and right now i'm more concerned about bad LTE connections with AT&T. I'm in my office across the street from O'Hare international airport in chicago and not getting LTE speeds.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
I think you should try flashing the factory image as a test for the rest of us before you attempt unlocking. :D

Lock Screen Ads

If you unlock the bootloader and root, it's as easy as freezing "Amazon Offers" with Titanium Backup. Lockscreen ads are gone.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] trevorcobb:
going to pull stock partition images before I do anything to mine, but the bootloader is successfully unlocked and I have gotten it to boot to twrp. surprised there was already a version of twrp available for this device.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Gnex1:
I flashed twrp and flahshed supersu 2.46. Afterwards I was stuck in a bootloop, and after formatting caches and system (stupid, I know), I no longer have an operating system. The device is the Moto G4 XT1625 (amazon prime edition). What options do I have to get a working OS back on my phone?

EDIT: downloaded stock firmware from HERE and flashed with RSD Lite to fix this issue. S/O to [MENTION=4246643]Tomsgt[/MENTION] for the assistance in the other thread.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] abrahammmmmmm_:
Is the actual LTE itself not getting good reception? From previous knowledge I know that the actual "bars" shown in the statusbar next to the data symbol don't determine the connection for "data" but rather voice reception for texting and calling, that is, unless you're using VoLTE. Or maybe they've changed this recently so I could be wrong. What carrier are you using? Have you tried accessing the hidden menu for phone or tried playing around with the APN settings?
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] rene mauricio:
Okay boys and girls. The moment you have been waiting for!

Using this tutorial I was able to flash this stock image and everything is working just fine! No Amazon bloatware. No nothing!
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Rafy186:
Does it change the firmware update to moto from Amazon?
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] rene mauricio:
I am not sure how I could find out. If you let me know I will check for you.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Rafy186:
Go to Settings, About Phone and where it says Software channel does it say amz or does it exist at all.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] rene mauricio:
Sadly it still says AMZ
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Rempala:
I flashed ATHENE_MPJ24.139-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip (I used the flashfile.xml after I took the subsidy_lock_config line out) I didnt unlock my bootloader. Software channel still says amz, but the software variant is gone. and all of amazon stuff is gone.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] trevorcobb:
damn
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
I wonder if unlocking the bootloader, flashing TWRP, wiping all the internal partitions, and then doing a clean flash of the stock OS would remove that Amazon reference. (I can try it myself, but not until late tomorrow)
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] trevorcobb:
doesn't "fastboot flash" use dd to write over the memory space with the new img file?
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
I"m just curious but was there a reason for flashing it that way...any advantage?
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
I was wondering the same, but I just did a complete flash using the factory rom and it's still showing "Software Channel - amz". At least all the Amazon apps are now history and that's what I mostly flashed it for. Hopefully, when "N" rolls out, we can find a factory rom for that because I'm sure if Amazon pushes it out, it will add back all the Amazon bloat.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] trevorcobb:
i doubt that an amazon sourced OTA for the device would even install now that we've re-flashed to the stock xt1625 rom, despite the "software channel -amz" detail. do motorola devices autoupdate from ota's or do they have to be approved? I know amazon fire devices are notorious for automatically updating without asking for approval.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] rene mauricio:
I eagerly await your results :)
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
I don't see why it wouldn't. The only thing that changed with the reflash was the absence of Amazon apps. The kernel and baseband are identical before and after.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] embhorn:
Anyone having issue logging into a different Amazon account than the one that was used to buy the phone?

I bought the phone through my account. I gave the phone to my wife and she tried to log in to Amazon, but it says her username/password is wrong. Double checked and even logged into a PC to be sure.

My Amazon login works for the phone, but none others. I spent two hours on Amazon chat, but they were less than helpful. My favorite was when they told me to uninstall the Amazon app.

Update on this issue. Turns out the password we were trying was wrong. PEBKAC, or "screen and chair" rather. :D
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
If it's the Amazon version of the G4 then you should seriously think about flashing the factory rom on that phone and doing away with the Amazon connection and all those Amazon apps. There is a thread with the links you need. It doesn't requird unlocking or rooting and shouldn't affect the warranty. As for your problem, what you're experiencing makes sense in a weird way.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] embhorn:
I read through that, but it looked like unlocking was required, which would mean getting a code from Motorola, which would in turn mean voiding the warranty. I may just send it back to Amazon and get the non-Amazon version.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
Absolutely not. I did it today and since it's a factory rom you litterly only have to copy and past the flash in a cmd window and wait a few minutes. It takes the most time d/ling the rom because File Factory is so slow. I'm like you and wanted to keep the warranty for a while. No unlocking is required to fastboot flash a factory rom.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] chumpalunski:
If we delete the files out of the OEM directory. Then flash the system files thru fastboot. Factory reset. That may get rid of all the Amazon lines in the about phone section...just a thought.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
Possibly, but that's not that much easier than just flashing the rom.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] rene mauricio:
Would be appreciated if someone tried.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] chumpalunski:
What ROM? Aren't you guys flashing the stock firmware? The OEM.img is in that...unless you are manually flashing everything or edited out the line for it. This is all guessing until someone does it.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
Several of us here have flashed the stock rom and wiped the Amazon bloat.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] chumpalunski:
I have too. Just thinking of ways to get all the Amazon stuff removed. I will try in a few with rootjunkys OEM.img he made to remove all the OEM stuff mixed with the factory images and see if takes care of it all.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] MadGoat:
Just flashed the Stock moto firmware through fastboot and ADB, then installed TWRP and rooted. Slick as it gets! great phone for stoopid cheap. Great replacement for my (now dead) S4.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] rene mauricio:
I am sure a lot of us will be eager to hear your results.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
Nope, still displays it for me :( Must be set in another partition.

---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

Pre and post flash to stock, I looked at some oem config values that were set. Pre-flash, there were a handful of lines that said "amazon" or "amz". Post-flash, there's one value that still references Amazon:

(bootloader) <UTAG name="ro.carrier" type="str" protected="true">

(bootloader) <value>

(bootloader) amz

(bootloader) </value>

(bootloader) <description>

(bootloader) ro.carrier value passed from kernel

(bootloader) (automatically updated on each boot)

(bootloader) </description>

(bootloader) </UTAG>

Attempts to set it to something else (unknown) or unprotect that UTAG are rejected

(bootloader) Not allowed command

FAILED (remote failure)
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] rene mauricio:
Well darn. Thank you for trying.

I myself am having an issue with notifications. Neither Skype nor Gmail will notify me until I push the power button. My other phone on the other hand receives alerts instantly so I know it isn't my internet connection. I have already disabled the power saver function for both applications and set high priority when it comes to alert sounds. None of these has resolved my issue and I am wondering if any of you are experiencing the same.

[edit]

I think I may have found a solution. I had to disable IPV6 on my home router and it seems to be working fine now. Problem is, I cant find any documentation (at this late hour) that suggests that the G4 has a notification LED. I know some sites suggest it has a "hidden" one on the bottom. Searching for the function in the notifications setting has proven fruitless as it lacks that option (perhaps because it lacks that LED altogether?).
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
I disabled IPV6 on my router long ago because it was causing connection problems on a lot of AT&T DSL routers. Their tech support was advising people to do that. I figure I'll worry about IPV6 when it gets widely used. As for the LED, according to what I see on the Lenovo forums the same little white LED is still there that was on the G3 and some report seeing it while charging. There was that app that enabled it for charging but I dont know if it works on the G4.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
Yeah, the LED is there, but doesn't seem to be enabled in the OS. When I boot into fastboot and connect it to my PC, the LED continuously blinks, stops when I disconnect.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
There is the Moto LED Enabler app in Play for the Moto X and E that worked on the G3. I think it only enabled the light on the G3 while charging. I tried it on my G3 and it worked for charging only.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] briatide:
the led light can be enabled for notifications using the light flow legacy app. instructions can be found at http://www.gammerson.com/2016/06/enable-notification-light-moto-g4-plus.html
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] chumpalunski:
Anybody been able to flash from fastboot the stock boot.img or recovery.img? I keep getting not signed or corrupt errors on both.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
Yes, at least several have that I know of including me. I suspect that you got a bad download. When you unzipped the rom did it unzip without errors? Also verify that every file in the rom matches up with the flash directions if you're going by that YouTube video. All I did was copy and paste the entire flash sequence into the cmd window I had open.. It took just a few minutes and it was good to go. Be aware that the first boot after you flash takes a fairly long time.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] chumpalunski:
Yes. It unzips without errors. I've downloaded it multiple times from different sources. The ROM is for use with rsdlite. I'm manually flashing the files with fastboot. I'm not using a YouTube video. Idk if it's a Windows 10 problem. Others have had the same problem in the plus forums.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Rempala:
Flashed here just fine on windows 10 64bt, But I did use RSDLite 6.2.4
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] chumpalunski:
The files flash even though the error is given.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
Ahh ok, I always manually flash and never really mess with rsd. I did flash on Windows 10 64bit with no problems. I do know that I've occasionally had problems if I didn't open a cmd window with administrator priviledges but that's the only problem I've ever had with Windows.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
I get the same for the stock boot.img, stock recovery.img, as well as the TWRP recovery.img. There's a video on Youtube of someone in the UK (I think) flashing stock onto their device via fastboot, and I saw the same issue on theirs, so it's not just limited to the US stock ROM or the Amazon version of the device. Regardless, everything still seems to work fine for me.

**Note** this latest firmware prevents downgrading to all previous firmware's.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] britchel:
What's the good in it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
Why is there no chatter about the EPF1 update?

I've been scanning the boards and not much about it... It appears to just to be simple Android Security Update, yet no one has really said anything about it..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] bh1136:
I updated, but haven't noticed much of a difference. Apparently it adds an anti-theft feature that requires you to enter your google login information before it will let you reset the phone.

I can't wait for someone to root it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
Just install TWRP via ODIN, Install SuperSu and Enjoy..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] britchel:
Could never find twrp
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
Google is your friend..

Google TWRP Galaxy S6 T Mobile

and you will find this

https://dl.twrp.me/zerofltetmo/twrp-3.0.2-0-zerofltetmo.img.tar.html

Download the TAR file and install via ODIN, and be sure to select AP, or you will destroy your device..

Edit: Once you install TWRP, then install SuperSU here : https://download.chainfire.eu/969/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] britchel:
Thank you, sir

I really appreciate!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
Flash SuperSu in Recovery, don't try to flash it in ODIN..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ohthesepaws:
Anyone having an issue with this update? I went back to stock for this update, then tried to apply TWRP, and the recovery doesnt stick, stays with the android default.

Edit: nvm...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
I was afraid of this.. It may because of the new Secure Bootloader that if something isn't signed by Samsung or T mobile.. It may flash, but then buffer out and not install..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] J-Hop2o6:
Nvm? I'm guessing you wrote something different? Or Nvm to the above sentence?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] gravitysandwich:
What are you guys talking about?

This update shouldn't prevent flashing a recovery, nonetheless be able to boot into download mode/odin mode and flash an older firmware.

I am downloading this atm, let me know if I am wrong.

Update: Flashed the update, flashing TWRP is fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] J-Hop2o6:
The final question is, did it stick? Boot to Recovery and let us know.

Also, is root and custom kernel working fine?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] gravitysandwich:
Yes TWRP sticks.

Root works fine.

I am guessing a custom kernel would work fine, provided it is based on this firmware.

I am not going to test any as I have no need for a custom kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
When installing TWRP, while installing it through ODIN, uncheck the reboot..

It should stick...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] J-Hop2o6:
Forgot to update earlier.

But yes, Root + TWRP + Custom Kernel + Xposed (v85+) works with this update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] kenpachi100:
Just to clarify, rooting and flashing twrp and supersu with this update on the tmobile galaxy s6 wont brick? I keep hearing that my bootloader is locked and i cant root with this build on my phone.

Edit: what is the best way to root? i keep hearing that i should flash a cf auto root file instead of twrp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] britchel:
Hey, sr. For some reason it will not let me reboot to bootloader, can you help, or anyone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
Press the Power Key, Volume Down, and the Home Key at the same time while the device is powered off, that should put you into download mode..

Mind you that there is no official root method for EPF1, you can flash TWRP and then SuperSu to establish root
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] kenpachi100:
My gs6 g920t has the EPF1 build and I used cf auto root for the EPD1 build (i think that's the latest one on there) and it rooted mine just fine. Afterwards I flashed TWRP via odin and everything worked perfect.

PS: do you know which build is newer? The EPF1 or the EPD1?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
EPF1 is newer... I know that it's just a minor Android security update, but there are currently no supported custom roms for that version.. You can not downgrade due to the updated Sboot..

I haven't dared to try... I've made a lame attempt at making my own custom EPF1 ROM, but fell flat.. Samsung makes it hell to customize their roms.. Nexus device are sooooo easy to make custom roms for.. But EPF1 is the newer one, just an updated sboot/bootloader, recovery and kernel..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] kenpachi100:
Dang :/ I really wanted to flash the deodexed xstreolite rom but I think it only supports EPD1 right now. Thanks for the info!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
Well you could still try, but you might lose WiFi calling..
