The screen burn is a hardware thing, it cannot be resolved by updating the firmware...
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] shady_11:
Well, I have read that some people had send it to the service center and the screen came back with the same problem, I been using a blue light filter and the issue is "gone" so this might be a hardware problem that can be fixed with a software update.

I sent to service centre and now my screen burn is gone and ghost touch has come ..

Guys, how is the battery drain for you, during usage? For me, it increased, so I've returned to 1 Dec patch.

Hi, what method did you use to download the patch on December 1, 2016, compilation number 93-14 ?. Regards.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SoNic67:
I have installed the ElementalX kernel almost immediately (need root), and with that the battery drain is similar to the 93-14.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] veezybaybee:
I am getting the same error! I tried twice and now it just blinks when I click on apply update from sd card. What could be the issue? I heard that this new small update dramatically increases the battery performance and overall speed too. I wanted to patch it badly! :(

Sideloading works without any issue.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] bullfinch110:
This is, what i did:

Flashing the M stock rom (MPJ...23.4), that comes with my XT 1622, when i bought in in Oct 2016, by using RDS lite. I modified the "flashall.xml" by deleting the two lines with "gpt" and "bootloader", because i was on nougat before and flashed several custom roms.

After rebooting, i received the OTA MPJ...63.4. After rebooting, i received the official Nougat OTA NPJ...93-14.

I downloaded the update 93-14-4 from this thread and saved it on my ext SD card.

Then i opened the stock recovery by pressing power&volume button. Here i choosed apply update from sd card...it worked perfect.

After that, i flashed latest twrp 3.3 from oadam, wiped dalvik, cache, system, data, internal memory. Then i flashed Dirty Unicorn Rom 7.1.2 and rooted with magisk...everythings fine. Maybe this helps somebody.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] sam sundar:
Install minimal adb and fastboot , and place the it's zip file inside the adb folder , rename the blur (ota file name) to ota.zip and install adb drivers ( just connect your phone in adb mode and pc will install the driver ) and select apply update from adb and type this command in adb command window "adb sideload ota.zip" and it will be flashed
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] veezybaybee:
Just did that and it worked. Thanks a lot buddy! :)

Sideloading is quite an easy process. It was my first time. I can already see the battery performance. Just what the G4 needed since the last update.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Swapney Raul:
Can anyone confirm did the overall speed of the ui increase after the latest update?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] veezybaybee:
Yes it did actually! The boot up and app opening speed has improved a lot. But the best part is battery performance. Its not draining like before. Its surely a small yet significant update! :):good:

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Looks like the update detected your device as Athene_amz and this won't flash, appears to only flash on athene (non Amazon) devices sadly from what I understand with the fingerprint. I don't know if there's a way to flash non Amazon firmware safely onto your device, else it'll be waiting for Amazon to release the update.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Arivendu:
seems this package is incompatible with XT1625.

it expects "athene" whereas yours is "athene_amz". is yours an Amazon varianr of G4 ?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Danny1976:
Anyway on how to edit some files to make it look like Athene? Editing the build.Prop I won't fix it. Bothnes are the same. It's not a comparability issue, but an Amazon ads issue.

u can try downloading this update package and install it via sideloading it or just place it in your internal storage reboot to stock recovery and mount system & then install it

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Muzam:
same question ? +1

can i flash it directly over rooted rom ?:confused:
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Nope, you'll need an unrooted 93-14 stock ROM with stock recovery to flash this OTA (given it's an official patch). At best it won't install onto your device.

You could unroot, then flash a stock recovery to flash this, or alternatively flash the fastboot ROM to bring you back to stock (https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369), which would then let you flash this OTA via stock recovery.

Alternatively, you could have a look at the (TWRP flashable) modified stock ROM with the patch: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-npjs25-93-14-4-deodexed-debloated-t3587180

I'd like to keep my data and get the update without a wipe, worked from rooted MM to Nougat, should work here as well, hopefully.

Last time I flashed the following original files of the ROM I was running: boot.img, logo.bin, recovery.img, system.img_sparsechunk.0 till 7 via fastboot.

Afterwards the update via OTA was successful, then I booted into TWRP and flashed ElementalX Kernel and SuperSU.

As soon as I get the OTA I'd like to update, would the way I described work? I can't lose any data if I only flash those img+bin files, right?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Muzam:

i flashed the twrp flashable over the previous build

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
From looking at your flash commands that you've mentioned, i don't see anything that may affect your data if you were to flash like that. I've not tried that method, though in theory it should be okay as you've shown moving from MM to Nougat, though you'll likely will have to wipe cache and dalvik prior to rebooting just to be safe (especially with having elemetalx and SuperSU formerly on your device).

I honestly can't guarantee either way if you'll have to wipe your app data or not, though it appears that people flashing the modified stock ROM with the 1st March 2017 patch are able to flash over their existing installation without affecting their data. I'd still backup your data and system via TWRP and store the backups just in case the update goes wrong. Good luck either way.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] toppits:
Thx [MENTION=7970352]echo92[/MENTION] I'll probably wait till the OTA is available on my device. I'll be sure to give feedback if it was successful.

Probably I'll be flashing more files than I need, but as long as I don't lose any data, better safe than sorry, I guess. And I'll definitely do a TWRP backup beforehand.

After 1 day of usage, here's my experience after updating to this patch (coming from December patch):

1 - the battery life indeed seems to be improved (screenshots​ below);

2 - overheating problem seems to be fixed (after 13 minutes of playing Riptide GP Renegade the temp reached 38 degrees, meanwhile with December patch it was reaching about 42-43 degrees Celsius).

3 - I had a very nasty problem with image retention (all status bar icons were visible, especially when the phone was heating up), and it seems to have fixed by itself after this update.

PS : I have Moto G4 XT1622, and after applying the OTA, I've only wiped cache, I've flashed EX kernel and I've rooted the phone.

After I install this update, when I turn off the mobile phone it enters the bootloader mode, but it turns off and when it turns on it enters this mode.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
If you press Start in the bootloader, does your phone still boots into the OS? What device are you on?

If so, you've got a computer with minimal ADB and your phone does boot into Nougat, you could try:

1) Connect your phone to your computer, check you have USB debugging turned on (under Settings>Developer Options), run minimal ADB

2) Check your device is detected by executing 'adb devices' (without quotes) in the minimal ADB console - should report back your device and serial number

3)After 2), execute 'adb reboot bootloader'

4) Once rebooted back into the bootloader, in minimal ADB, execute 'fastboot oem fb_mode_clear' which may reset your bootloader (in fastboot) to boot properly.

5)Reboot your device.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
I'm not sure it's possible without waiting for Amazon to deploy to your device. I think in theory you could edit the install script to flash onto your device, but then you'd have to re-sign the OTA file with a Motorola (or possibly Amazon in this case) cryptographic key, so your stock recovery would accept it. Since we don't have access to those keys, the OTA would just keep being rejected. :(
