[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Khavatari93:
I'm on Windows 7 32bit and tried it with disabled driver signature and without it disabled.

Don't remember it fully but I know for sure that I updated it beforehand because of the new android version and if I remember corectly I downgraded it again and had some problems with the up- and downgrading and then just slpapped an old backup on it and it worked fine after that for some time.

But at somepoint I forgot it at home and after I got back home and tried to turn it on and it did nothing, only the blinking led after connecting it to some power source.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Ah, downgrading a device is becoming more and more risky, especially with using OTA updates.

If you're certain you've used the blank flash from this thread, then that was our last resort. Without knowing fully about what's happened to your device, it's likely your next options are to take your device to a service centre for motherboard replacement (expensive), or save for a new device. There are certain shops (e.g Mobile Unbrick on YouTube) that may else be able to assist.

Done.. it works

Thanks Broo

It totally works fine and the hard bricked device has came to life again

Stuck in Bootloop

After flash it my phone is stuck in bootloop plz help me
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
What steps did you try?

Did you re-flash the June 2017 stock ROM after using the blankflash? We kind of need more detail - for example - what device you have, how did it brick, what steps have you tried and at what stage does your device bootloop?

Just make sure that what you're buying got bricked because of an OTA update or bad flash and not another reason, else you might be wasting your money.

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] kulkarnichinmay65:
No not yet. I think now everyone in g4 community have lost interest in the phone.. and that's pretty obvious as the phone is now too old to support customized development and also the user base for this phone is decreasing...
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
On the contrary, this blankflash was tested by the uploader and posts following in this thread and the firmware thread, as well as in the Question and Answer forum section indicate the blankflash does work on hard bricked devices. This blankflash should rescue devices bricked by an OTA update following a downgrade from a newer stock firmware. If you do not wish to hard brick, do not use OTA updates following a stock firmware downgrade.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] kulkarnichinmay65:
Okay thanks for your guidance.. could you tell me a stable 100% bug free rom developed for Moto g4 plus cause I have tried rr lineage bootleggers arrow Omni dot and a lot more but everyone of them are missing some or the other thing. I wish there should be a rom that stable enough to use as a daily driver.. btw I have a question in my mind how are ROMs created like I would love to create one..
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
It really depends on what you're looking for in a custom ROM. For stability and minimal bugs, stock firmware with a custom kernel and root would be a good choice. That would also be a stable daily driver, though perhaps not as featured as the custom ROMs. I understand that efforts are being made to merge the Oreo stock drivers with the custom ROMs, so in time they may become more stable.

As for building custom ROMs, I'm not sure, though there are guides present on XDA and the internet - e.g. https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-how-to-build-custom-rom-t3599021 Base requirements appear to include Linux, 100+ GB of hard disk space and lots of patience, a device you do not mind using to test (and as such should not be your main device for day to day tasks, unless you have good backups), and some programming knowledge.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] kulkarnichinmay65:
Okay thanks bro I will look at it and thanks for that alternative suggestion of custom rom

Brother help me, I had arrowOS9 installed with the bootloader unlocked and rooted, I changed to the bootimage arrow and bootanimation because I did not like it and everything goes normal, after 2 weeks of use it gave me lag in some moments and I preferred to install an official OREO so download the Kevinarol version (jleebanch version), now when turning on it stays in MOTO logo and never start what do I do?

i have an amazon prime 1625 version, theres pics of the backups i did before wipe all

what guide need to follow i just want of Oreo build with this kernel, my phone boots on bootloader and can enter on TWRP but after install the rom.. never start :(:(

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
You're lucky there's a blankflash to try - try this https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79714477&postcount=778 Ensure you've got the original USB cable and have plenty of time.

If you can get your device working, please DO NOT use stock OTA updates until you have formally flashed the latest firmware onto your device. If you want to stay with stock Nougat, do not install stock OTA updates. Since you have downgraded your device, it is no longer safe to use old stock OTA updates (older than stock Oreo) - you'll just hard brick your device again.

Las rom 8 y 9 te dan bug del flash de la cámara. Ponlo para que veas. Primero sale el flash y luego es que toma la foto, aveces deja de funcionar el flash completamente. , Aveces salen fotos verdes. Falla la app de la camara. Pero el mas grave es ese. Si quieres tomar foto de noche te jodes. Porque todas saldrán en negro debido a que el flash se va antes de que tome la foto

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] blue_ranger:
Hey guys, I moved to iPhone a few months ago and my G4 Plus has just been sitting unused in a drawer. So today, I took it out and it wouldn't turn on.

Tried charging it, and the LED would just keep blinking,

Connected it to the computer...same thing.

Used the button combinations to try and get into fast boot mode, or recovery mode, nothing.

The phone doesn't respond at all.

So I followed this thread, apparently it needs to be detected as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" so I can fix it with the blankflash, but its not being detected at all.

I disabled secure driver signing, installed both the Qualcomm driver, and the Motorola drivers and ADB drivers, still nothing when I plug in into the PC, just the blinking LED.

Any suggestions?

[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
That log looks like you're attempting to use a blankflash older than the latest firmware on your device, did you have stock 8.1 on your device at any point? Downgrading firmware will not downgrade your bootloader, which is the reason hard bricking with OTA updates happens (the OTA does not check your bootloader version, instead it just tries to overwrite whatever bootloader you have, which if it's trying to overwrite a newer bootloader is a Bad Idea).

Which blankflashes have you tried? If your device was formally updated to stock Oreo 8.1, you will need to use the latest blankflash we have available https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79714477&postcount=778

Wow!!! you are totally right. I just tried once with the newest blankflash and it worked.

I've had Arrow OS Android 9.0, but it was presenting some errors with the bootloader, so I decided to go back to stock rom of android M and then in the update to Android 7 it got bricked. But, yes the last bootloader was more recent and that was the problem with the older blankflashes.

Thanks a lot!:D

(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

FAILED (remote failure)

finished. total time: 0.067s
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] echo92:
Pre flash validation errors are usually because you're attempting to flash a stock firmware older than your bootloader version. If you've hard bricked and used the blank flash, you need to use a firmware as new as or newer than the blankflash. Does not matter if your bootloader was previously unlocked, a blankflash bootloader appears to remain 'locked' until you properly flash stock firmware.

If you used the Nougat blankflash, you'll need the NPJS25.93-14-18 firmware. If you used the Oreo blankflash, you'll need the Oreo firmware OPJ28.111-22. both of these firmwares can be found here: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
