Hi!

Which file did you download for stock Nougat rom?

The files didn't have the same MB. The one from Google drive is smaller.

And when i extract the other one i got an error.

Is it possible to flash the zip via Stock Recovery or is it recommened to flash with RSDLite?

I got an XT1642 - in germany.

Thanks in advance!
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] derausgewanderte:
this is the one I downloaded

athene_oem_user_7.0_NPJ25.93-11_12_release.rar with this info

install adb to PC. Extract files (flashall.bat should be in same folder as fastboot), connect phone to PC, boot into recovery and run fastboot from PC to flash.

Instructions are nicely summarized here.

Installed on XT1644 US model 64GB, 4GB RAM.

Works flawlessly. Have had no crashes, no wifi issues/cellular issues (as per Lineage and CM based nougat) and battery life is excellent.

Use the custom kernel and custom TWRP!! It allows systemless root and makes the rom more stable, plus you can overclock.

Just wanted to say I flashed this over the stock 6.0.1 OS that came with the phone when it arrived today from Amazon. Worked fine with one click, installed in about 15 minutes with no issues. So far everything seems stable and I'm having no issues with BT/Wifi/Cellular/etc. I got this phone as a replacement for my OP3 I shattered while hiking and I quite like it. This Nougat update makes it almost identical.

Thanks so much!

This image has one killer feature though: it is signed by Motorola and thus can be used to flash phones with a locked bootloader.

Updating to NPJ 25.93-14 can be done by flashing captured OTA zip.

Also the flashing scripts were made by Motorola and IMHO this vendor is more trustworthy than a random XDA-dev guy.

Nice post! Do I need to unlock my bootloader if I want to go back to MM though?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] sakhura:
Yes you won't be able to downgrade unless you unlock your bootloader and skip the modem and bootloader commands because fastboot and rsd lite do not allow downgrade of bootloader

Downgrading your bootloader may cause your device to get permanently bricked

Wrong. Even on G4 Plus models it gets changed from what users have posted here.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
smithersjoe's baseband is different because the baseband was updated by the Nougat firmware (he mentioned he updated using fastboot). The version ending in .60R I recall is from Nougat 93-11, .62R is from Nougat 93-14. Your baseband is still on the MM firmware baseband - both are still RETUSA.

Will it get further official OTA updates?,,?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] rajatgupta1998:
Yes you will obviously get the future updates since this is stock unmodified ROM. Make sure you have the same unmodified ROM and recovery when you get to installing a future OTA.

Sent from Lord Tywin's athene (xt1643)
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] runt:
The next question is, will Moto release any future updates? I know those of us in the US are stuck without an update.

I am having a problem, for some reason if I go to restart my phone it doesn't want to start properly, it can take me between 15 minutes and 30 minutes to get it to restart. When I first flashed this I was getting the bootloader screen everytime and it started fine then, but then I did an fastboot oem fb_mode_clear and I'm stuck with the issue I have now. Do I need to reflash to fix this?

Anyone have any idea on why I have so much trouble rebooting my phone?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Did you use the script included in the zip or did you use the script that wipes your cache/data? You may have to boot into recovery, wipe your cache and see if that solves it, or if not, try a factory reset (note this will wipe your data).
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] runt:
I ran the command manually. It was rebooting into the bootloader every time, but when I picked start it was fine. Once I stopped that it started having problems.

So say I flash this on my xt1644 (US variant) would I be able to get the ota when Nougat comes to the US?

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] aSuperSaiyanG0D:
I'm assuming worst case scenario all we gotta do is just flash the US variants Nougat firmware if it becomes available, but nonetheless how's Nougat running on your device? Any quarks or anything of that sorts?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] runt:
Runs great other than a reboot issue this flash. It work reboot when I want it to, eventually. Can take up to half an hour though. Need to try a factory reset and if that doesn't fix it, a reflash.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] aSuperSaiyanG0D:
I see, hopefully that'll fix it for you.

I know right now on I'm stock marshmallow and I'm having random WiFi and Bluetooth issues so I'm thinking about re flashing but then I figured if imma go thru that hassle might as well try this method to get Nougat aha

Is this falshable through TWRP ??
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
This is not flashable via TWRP - you need to fastboot or use RSD lite to install the stock ROM, and that process will remove/replace TWRP with the stock recovery.

You could try the TWRP flashables of Nougat (https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4/development/fxz-athene-twrp-flashable-fastboots-t3562147), however, I don't know and don't think you can upgrade to Nougat using these, since they may not be able to update your device completely. From what I understand, the Nougat ROMs and other stock ROMs can update your device firmware, whereas the TWRP flashables may not be able to access those areas.

Thus, unless you are already on Nougat, I'd suggest to use the aforementioned fastboot method to update to Nougat. Ensure your data is backed up and be aware you may have to erase your cache/Dalvik or factory wipe in case of issues.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Droidphilev:
You can upgrade to Nougat just fine with the zips. All that is needed is included. Just FYI. For security purposes there is no bootloader or partition table included. Still this isn't needed as Nougat works just fine with the M bootloader.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] sakhura:

Bootloader

I notice you are using the OEM ROM from Russia and the zip contains a bootloader.img, I have 2 XT1625, one a 16gb and the other a 32gb. The point is that the 16 can be boot unlocked via moto however the 32 cannot. Moto was not helpful with why they just point to the unlock web page and will not offer anything beyond that.

SO the question would be as we are flashing back to stock with bootloader.img would that not revert the unlock back?

I would love to by pass the bootloader unlock on the 32gb to root, however I am told this is an IMEI issue?

Thanks.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
If you've tried all the things we've suggested to you, the only other route is to hand your device into a service centre for repair (as your warranty is void, they will likely charge you), or purchase another device. So far, I've not seen any ways of fixing this type of problem, and it looks like the service centre may replace your device motherboard. Seems that flashing the wrong firmware for a device (e.g. flashing the US firmware on a non US device) erases/breaks a link in the modem firmware that subsequent flashes cannot fix.

That's likely one reason Motorola/Lenovo unified the Nougat firmware into one global file, to reduce the chances of a wrong firmware being flashed, since there were multiple Marshmallow firmwares, unique to a particular region.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jayeshaupe90:
how much would they charge for the motherboard?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
No idea - that'd be for the service centre to decide. They may have other tricks to fix your IMEI but the only way to find out would be to ask them.

What are you trying to do? If you're trying to flash this ROM (this ROM is the November 2016 build, NPJ25.93-11) when you previously updated to a newer version of Nougat, you're downgrading and thus you'll encounter these errors.

If you're trying to downgrade, you'll need to unlock your bootloader (which will void your warranty). Also, if you're downgrading, you do not need/want to flash the older GPT or bootloader images - though fastboot may stop you at any rate. If downgrading, best to use the following commands which omit the locking commands too (if you've previously were on a newer Nougat build, you will not be able to lock your bootloader with older firmware).

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
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

The code should still work if your device is the same (which from what you just mentioned, it is).
