There's an existing method in which you boot a "superboot" image and you get temporary root, search on the forum... But with this new OTA everytime you boot that image, Wi-Fi won't work so, you better root it temporary, do your stuff and reboot your phone so you have it 100% functional

This update has worked well for me on a Canadian (Koodo) XT1641, via adb sideload.

1 - Install minimal ADB and Fastboot

2- Download the update zip file, rename it to ota.zip and drop it in the installation folder you selected in step 1)

3- Connect your phone to your computer (make sure Developer mode is enabled and USB debugging is on)

4- Open a CMD prompt in the folder from step 1)

5- Type: adb reboot recovery

6- You phone will reboot and eventually display a fallen android with a red triangle and 'No Command'.

7- Press and hold the power button, immediately press Volume up and release both buttons. You are now in recovery mode.

8- Use the Volume button to select the 'Apply update from ADB' option and press power.

9- In your command prompt, type: adb sideload ota.zip

10- When done, select reboot from the recovery menu and wait a little bit for the update to install. You will see the Motorola and Lenovo logos loop quite a few times but don't worry and wait.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Lupask:
Thanks! Works like charm (XT 1642; EU retail)

Though it should be noted that it required locking the bootloader first. This I accomplished by issuing 1. fastboot oem lock 2. fastboot oem lock begin 3. fastboot flash partition gpt.bin .....(then all remaining commands to reflash full stock software).... 4. fastboot oem lock 5. continue at step #5 of the above.

Didn't even had to wait for the first fresh boot :)

1. Copy the update.zip to the internal memory

2. Flash thru fastboot the stock system.img

3. Flash thru fastboot the stock recovery.img

4. Enter to stock recovery and apply the update zip.

5. DONE!!!

XT 1622 Stock Recovery

Hello currently running NPJ25.93-11 & would like to update to the most recent release of noughat. My boot loader is unlocked. However I have installed TWRP , but don’t have root , so I believe I cant install the update via TWRP recovery without flashing stock recovery . Can someone explain how to do this please. I did a back up in TWRP when I installed it, however I believe this wont allow me to get into stock recovery as I have replaced it with TWRP.

Thanks in advance for assistance

Its not by ADB, you must be in bootloader mode.

You must have all the files you'll need to flash. Search and read a little about fastboot commands.

Thanks for that and to darkequitus too, hmm still too early to say if the update does anything with CDMA carriers (e.g. Verizon, Sprint) or if it was just a flash gone wrong.

Did the reflash of the patch give you your network back?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] darkequitus:
No, it did not. My IMEI is still visible from the bootloader's barcode view option. so, it is the patch that is preventing the OS from reading it.

Guys i´ve already asked this but i cant update the phone.

This is what im doing, tell me what im doing wrong.

2) i tried to pass the update to the internal memory and when i enter recovery mode it says cannot mount the sd card or something like that.

To use the second metod, in recovery menu you have an option. Say "mount sd/system". Or something like that. Look for MOUNT. Then you can navigate throw folders and flash the Update.

Hope you can understand me.

Thank you for the file! Might some charitable soul create a twrp backup (or flashable .zip) with this build please? Having to downgrade first to 6.01, to apply the previous soak and then this latest one is a pain!

I think that Twrp is not able to backup/restore this phones modems, so along with twrp image, we might also need to flash latest modem from fastboot. Still better than flashing 3 full ROMs in succession...
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] srgudhka:

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Floodland:
I am currently using AOSP Extended.

The idea is to be able to flash stock without several jumps in the middle.

With other devices there are plenty of stock based ROMs with some customizations. Even when this device stock is pretty clean, I am surprised no one made, for example, a dark systemui for this device (without having to resort to legacy substratum, which for all dark themes applied fail to theme most fonts colors, resulting in an unusable experience (black fonts over black background).

I would love to have the time to do it, unfortunately, I don't.

just to be absolutely clear:

step by step:

1 Download OTA and copy to phone

2 Boot phone into recovery by holding 'power' and 'vol 'down' until you get fastboot screen

3 Use the vol buttons to select and 'click' recovery with the power button.

4 You get android with the 'no command', here hold 'power' and push 'vol up' to get menu.

5 Select update from sdcard, navigate to download folder with OTA, select it with 'vol up/down' and execute with 'power'.
