Does anyone forsee any problems for me coming from Lineage, but having previously merged my SD as internal? Don't care about losing any data, pictures, etc, so if I need to format the SD, that's fine with me. This will become a work phone.

Any help advice before making the plunge would be appreciated.

Currently on:

G4 - XT1625

- Try to flash another ROM. Same problem?
[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Mallik Sean:
Nope ..

It will flash properly and boot up ..I'm having trouble with only booting up with latest TWRP-athene-8.1.0-OPJ28.111.12.zip. it worked with my friend Moto g4 , but only in my phone it won't boot up even after successful flashing zip. I cleared everything , long back I have flashed new bootloader zip to remove waring massage which appears before boot log that warring massage. May be because of that or don't know what making bootloader to get stuck there only.

Is there any format like " /data " should be in ext4,ext2 or f2fs file system? . Recently I saw warning showing like you have to change bck to f2fs file system to boot phone properly so. For this zip do we have to maintain the partition format? If so please let me know guys

Help me out
[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] echo92:
It'd be useful to know:

1) what TWRP version are you using? Have you tried using the unofficial TWRP from https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-unofficial-touch-t3722206 or https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/development/recovery-team-win-recovery-project-t3842903

2) what's your process of flashing? Does it go something like: download TWRP flashable, copy to your device. Boot to TWRP and back up your existing device. Wipe system, data then flash the TWRP flashable. (Then could wipe internal storage). Then wipe cache/dalvik to reboot.

3) you mentioned you flashed a zip to hide the bootloader warning logo, was it a logo.zip and I presume you just flashed it to your logo partition rather than the bootloader partition?

4) I think the standard data partition format is f2fs(someone correct me if that's not right). I don't know if it's mandatory for this zip, but as you're doing a full wipe when flashing, you could change formats of the data partition too.

1.I have tried with both official twrp for Athene and even in rajathguptha 1998 twrp but Met with same issue . I tried with other roms to flash it will flash and it will boot . I didn't found this problem with any other custom roms , Only with Moto athene zip I'm facing trouble .

2.I have used Moto bootloader maker to remove that . I got zip file to flash . I don't know where exactly it got flashed . I did it long back more than an one year back . Can I able to roll back or to remove that from bootloader partition .? If so let me know And even only to remove warning massage I have flashed it and it will show only at that time , I mean warning massage place it will show

3.Usually I go with advance wipe to wipe all and even internal memory for proper flashing . Except SD card I will wipe all and then I will take flashing .

As u mentioned in 2nd topic , yeah I'm following same path only.

But still I'm facing this problem ...
[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] echo92:
Hmm, have you tried taking out the SD card and tried booting? Of course, if you try this later, you'll have to copy your flash file to internal storage, erase system and data, flash then erase your device internal storage.

If you used the Moto boot logo maker, that'll have flashed a file to your logo partition. I've not checked the TWRP flashable for their logo partition - if they have one, it'll get over written when you flash the TWRP flashable. Regardless, it shouldn't affect your boot. When you flashed a custom ROM, do you see a bootloader warning on boot?

If you want to, you can get the boot logo.bin from the stock ROM and flash that to your logo partition to restore the stock boot logo.

One thing to try is when you initially boot, if you have issues booting, hold down the power button to force a shutdown (or power and volume down key to force a reboot), then try booting again?

Hey, I wanted to ask that when will the Moto g4 plus stock 8.1 rom adb zip file be available.. as the update is out and I want to lock my bootloader and return to stock .
[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] echo92:
Currently no idea - typically the stock firmware is released/leaked in 1-2 months after the final general release of the update.

If you really want to relock, provided you've never flashed the stock Oreo firmware via OTA (using TWRP flashables in this thread won't matter), you could flash the Nougat stock firmware to relock, then wait for the Oreo OTA update https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138

Bear in mind you do not need to relock your bootloader to receive stock OTA updates, and relocking will erase your device anyway
[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] rajatgupta1998:
So yes this is official. I'll be updating my thread soon with Stock Oreo and other news, and how to update. :) Build number is same as OPJ28.111-22 .

Yes but actually what happened is I had updated my phone to soak test and then unlocked the bootloader so I can't go back to nougat.. and also last time I had hard bricked my device but had found the blank flash on xda but this time Oreo blank flash is not available so if it gets hard brick I will have to wait till Moto or some one from XDA update the Oreo blank flash..!!! Hope someone sooner uploads the stock Oreo firmware..!!

Guys, I need help!

I was using the resurrection remix rom, then I decided to flash this stock rom using twrp. I went to recover, wiped system, cache and dalvik (didn't wipe data). Then Iinstalled this rom and magisk. After that I tried to reboot but my phone won't boot the system. All I get is a black screen

I can, however, boot into recovery and bootloader

[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] echo92:
If you're running the OPJ28.108 build, there's no OTA to update your device as the update wasn't captured. Motorola should have issued it if you were a soak tester, but if not, and you want to keep your bootloader locked, you'd have to wait for the Oreo fastboot ROM.

I know that and I asked him about it and he said it is last soak build before official one, that's why I'm asking about the official one if someone got it
[Moto G4 Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] echo92:
Usually, the last soak build and the official release build are the same version, once Motorola is happy with the final soak build, they then release it for general use. Makes no sense to make another build otherwise.

I've seen the OPJ28.111-22 build deployed to non soak users, the main OTA update in the official update thread updates from Nougat to this build and so far, I've seen no evidence of a newer build than OPJ28.111-22. Thus, it looks like OPJ28.111-22 is the official build.

I have TWRP and flahsed the zip file provided on #1 with the name "TWRP-athene-8.1.0-OPJ28.111-12.zip". After that, when I boot up my phone it always opens TWRP, it never boots up the ROM. I have to manually turn the phone holding POWER UP and VOLUME DOWN to access the bootloader and then I select "START". That's the only way I can start my ROM.

Thank you! After several false turns, I have managed to get my Moto G4 Plus (XT1641) up and running with this ROM (the December revision). I had tried two or three different flavours of LineageOS as well as the ArrowOS Pie variant, but none, I repeat NONE have managed to get the device to work properly - specifically the camera.

I had almost lost hope when my attempt to restore the device with my own TWRP backup of the OEM Nougat release failed the first time I tried it. Fortunately, when I tried again after getting into trouble on another custom ROM, the "nandroid" restore worked. Not sure what I did differently.

In any case, armed with the certainty that the device, including the camera, COULD function properly with the stock ROM, I searched for an Oreo version and found this thread. After two tries (having screwed up the GPS with some over-zealous Google app removals with Titanium) the device is up and running and Magisked. Hallelujah!

Hmm, clearly I've been slacking on keeping this thread up-to-date. I'll update the OP with links for OPJ28.111-22 TWRP flashable (which is currently available in another thread atm).

Also, for those of you who do like stock Oreo, I created a custom kernel which has kcal and a few other features. Been running it for the better part of the day. I'll share here if anyone is interested. I may open a thread for it, but we'll see. May just add it to the OP instead.

Download: AK2-RK-athene-8.1.0-v1.1.zip

Features:

• KCAL Color Control

• Klapse v4.3 (highly experimental, use with caution)

• Wireguard support

• BFQ scheduler

• Advanced TCP congestion options

• LZ4 support for zram

• and a few other minor changes with more to come

NOTE: Unfortunately at this time [MENTION=7443804]Lyuu[/MENTION]'s TWRP doesn't support busybox, so if you flash the kernel using her TWRP it will fail. For now, just use an older version (like [MENTION=6324159]rajatgupta1998[/MENTION]'s arm64 TWRP). You can easily switch between TWRP versions by flashing directly in recovery. Hopefully she will fix this in a later update as not including busybox breaks compatibility with just about every custom flashable zip that requires it.
