I feel like an idiot. I haven't had an android phone in a while and things have changed a lot. My last android phone came with 1.6 for reference and upgraded to 2.3. I'm trying to unlock the bootlaoder and am having command prompt issues. I have SDK Tools saved to a folder in C: to make it easy to find, I remember that much from before. Every time I try to get the unlock data I get 'fastboot is not recognized....' I'm assuming I have my directory wrong, but hell, that assumption could be wrong. To make things worse, my phone has a damaged USB port, so I'm not even sure I should be screwing around with it. I really miss installing new ROM's, but alas, I may not be able to on this phone.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
If your device is still under warranty, it might be worth getting that USB port fixed under warranty before attempting to unlock your bootloader, as the unlock will void your remaining warranty with no option to reverse that.

Seems that error is more on the computer side of things rather than the USB port, as it references the command line not finding the fastboot.exe.

Are you using the adb tool from the SDK tool directory, and does it include fastboot.exe /adb.exe in the directory path? You may wish to install the minimal ADB tools from here: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 which should install to your Program Files folder. In there is a minimal ADB terminal client which should have the right commands.

You may also wish to check if you have the Motorola drivers installed via the Motorola Device Manager: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_detail/a_id/78830

I was missing fastboot.exe. The phone isn't under warranty. I just bought it used and wasn't told about the USB port when I bought it.

[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] night0crawler:
Hello I flashed RR-N-v5.8.3-20170415-athene-official on my device, along with that Magisk v12.0 also got installed as I think Magisk default Root Manager for Resurrection Remix for this recent October update. Now when I did setup my device and opened the Magisk Manager. I noticed that it prompted that device is rooted and it was showing that Magisk 12.0 is installed but can't update because there is no internet connection, so I decided to enter the download/module option and downloaded Greenify4Magisk module which it downloaded without any problem, so clearly the internet was working just fine but even after that for some unknown reason I was unable to update the Magisk v12.0 to v14.0. Also my device didn't pass Safety Net check. I gave permission for root access to Apps and ADB and also enabled built in Busy Box. But after that when I checked the root status with root checker. Everything was perfect except it prompted that (no Superuser app is found)

Anyways while flashing the ROM after flashing the ROM zip and Gapps zip I flashed Xposed for Nougat as well. Now after all this I decided to run the system, for sometime it worked just fine granted root access to some apps and started working with them. It was fine for sometime but later root access started acting strange & prompted the message (device is not rooted). I opened the Magisk manager and observed that it is saying that (device is not rooted). So I rebooted the device. But after reboot it showed (device is rooted) but root access didn't actually work with apps. All apps needing root failed to work saying device is not rooted.

Simply I lost root access somehow. So I reverted back to RR-N-v5.8.2-20170221-athene-official. So I have these questions.

1. How can I update the Magisk v12.0 to v14.0 or any other latest version of Magisk if there is any?

1.a. Should I refrain myself from doing that?

1.b. Do I have to flash the latest version of Magisk manually?

1.c. Is it even possible to do that?

2. Is it necessary to flash SuperSU zip through TWRP after flashing RR-N-v5.8.3-20170415-athene-official the latest October build which comes with Magisk Manager as default root Manager? If yes then which version of SuperSU is recommended?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] strongst:
[MENTION=6072168]night0crawler[/MENTION] why you're using such an old rom version and not latest one along with Magisk v14? I would recommend that and always flashing magisk seperately, I mean download and fishing without updating. There are some problems with the updater.

The latest version of RR official is 5.8.5 20171022.

You don't need supersu cause latest RR comes along with Magisk and root manager. If you need supersu, just uninstall magisk and install supersu. Jleeblanch explained the exact steps in the rom thread some posts ago.

How to bring the VOLTE logo on status bar on resurrection remix...?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] myk.robinson:
I've asked this question before, but things change and new developments are made, so here's another go at it.

I am running a stock rooted XT1644 on the Verizon network in the United States.. The current build is MPJ24.139-48, it was rooted on the day I got it and the firmware has never been update from when it was taken out of the box. I see a ton of articles regarding flashing Nougat, but it seems that none of them specifically mention the XT1644, though there are always a handful of folks that say "this works fine on mine."

There are custom ROMs out there that are Nougat-based and most advise installing the Nougat firmware before flashing the ROM. Can someone point me in the right direct of some non-cryptic instructions on how to find an XT1644-compatible Nougat firmware, if one even exists. Also, since I have TWRP installed on my phone, is it safe to assume that I can revert if I do not like <insert ROM here>?

To my understanding, there has not been an "official" Nougat release for XT1644, but should the firmware from another model be sufficient, or should I just be patient.

Thanks

Assuming you have your motorola device manager on your pc just unzip it and run flashall batch file.

Guessing this is a full ROM and not just the firmware? Will this also replace my recovery? If so, I assume I can just flash TWRP back through fastboot.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] EuroZim77:
Today I received my new Moto G4 Plus. Its an XT1642 on MM-6.0.1, Build MPJ24.139-48, Security Patch 01.May.2016

I'm gonna root it and put Resurrection Remix (RR) 5.8 on it thus 7.0 or 7.1. But there are so many variatiations in these threads.

I read things like "no permanent root for Android N", systemless roots, soak tests, going back to Stock MM etc etc.

I've only just unboxed it. But what next?

Will it update to Stock N naturally (OTA) and if so, then is that the best place to start? I'm a bit worried about the

"no permanent root for Android N", but maybe not a problem 'cos Resurrection Remix has root in it anyway.

Or should I start where I am, and TWRP it, and flash RR onto it. But that involves the N-Soak test

and I haven't a clue what that involves. I'm hoping to avoid it. Any advice would be great.

Last time I rooted 'n' rom'd was an S3 from 4.x to 5 to 6 (MM) and eventually 7 (N) Resurrecction Remix (RR).

Thanks.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] :
Mate, you're probably confused.

What you meant to probably ask was whether this was the full stock firmware or just an OTA. In that case, it is the former.

If you want to flash N, you'll be updating your firmware with this. Your OS will be updated as well.

This will do EVERYTHING (replace everything custom on your device) except relock the bootloader. Yes, that includes the recovery.

Yes, you can flash TWRP back through recovery.

Boy, oh, boy. Lots of questions.

It should, although everybody's mileage may vary. Best to wait and watch. If you're scared, stay here.

If you plan on installing a custom ROM, the permanent root absence shouldn't worry you. The temporary root is only for STOCK Android Nougat ROM for Moto G4/G4 Plus marshmallow.

Not recommended, as you will have issues and will not be able to do anything about it. Update to stock Android N.

Don't install the soak test. It is no longer required. Install the full Nougat update (tagged with “fastboot flashable” in the GUIDES thread).

You probably shouldn't go into rooting things before you read everything you can find about rooting your current device. Read everything, and join the tinkerers.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] strongst:
I'm also on xt1642 in Germany with mm firmware and everything is good. I don't need to upgrade to n firmware with soak test or official update until I encounter issues. But downgrade from n to MM is always a risk if you're not confirm with all the methods.

So my advice: never change a running system. This means stay on MM Firmware, install RR or whatever custom roms you like and test it. If you encounter issues, search or ask here. :svetius:

Edit: The g4plus Forum is full of threads about problems after updating to N release.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] EuroZim77:
Wow, Thank you for the very quick reply. So I hooked it to the Wifi, hit Software Update and ... Nothing. I mean Nothing. Apparentlly I am up-to-date on Moto G4 Plus (XT1642) on MM-6.0.1, Build MPJ24.139-48, Security Patch 01.May.2016. My S3 is more up to date than that.

So, I'm going to have to do this the hard way.

Over the years I've rooted/rom'd so many phones. Once I got ClockworkMod/Reco or TWRP on to the phone I could do anything I wanted.

My phone, it seems is not going to upgrade itself, but I'm a bit concerned what you mean by "having issues I can do nothing about".

I searched "fastboot flashable" and found a lot of threads. Did you mean this one Install Nougat by official fastboot. Build NPJ25.9

Downgrade. Why are people downgrading? Is it because of too many problems on N? Do you mean Stock N or Custom N.

It seems a bit mad to be on my new G4 Plus with Marshmallow when my previous (still working) Galaxy S3 runs Android N 7.1.1 (RR 5.8).

Alright, looks like I am upgraded/updated to Nougat. I find it interesting that all my apps and everything are still in place, though (which is fine). I was expecting the phone to be completely wiped. Did I miss a step?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] strongst:
I mean the stock/soak test N. Yes there are many problems. If you use a custom rom then ok. But you need the N firmware files for fingerprint enrollment to work properly for example(with mm I can register only 2 fp).

And while so many people have not the knowledge it can be a risk, as always. So better to tell the pros and cons :)

My camera became low clarity , at first with stock ROM it worked excellent but after changing ROMs the clarity and everything's gone , now it non clarity with pixels on photo ... Help me to solve this
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] :
There are two explanations for this.

1. Your camera lens is scratched. You will need to send it for repair if this is the case. This is not because of your flashing a custom ROM, but rather, because Lenovo didn't pay much attention to the build quality of this device.

2. Although not hopeless, the camera quality in custom ROMs will always be lower than the stock ROM, because they don't use, in simple terms, customized files to perfect the camera quality that the stock ROM does.
