Soft Brick - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

Hey guys, i'm a new member to the xda forums.
I had a problem while rooted hope you guys can help out.
I recently bought a moto g4 plus(Only launched in india so far) which runs on android 6.0.1(Stock).
When i tried to flash supersu.zip from twrp i bricked my device. When booting it only shows moto logo and never procceds after that. I think its a soft brick coz i can reboot into twrp recovery. Is there any possible way to fix my device. BTW i'm using a mac and dont have windows. thanks in advance. I want to know how to reflash stock rom from recovery to remove brick. If you need any more details i will be ready to give.

I have the same problem

No you dont flash back to stock through a .zip update. You have to follow those instructions if you want your phone to be unrooted and back stock. Its not a hard process to do
Will this restore OTA update capabilities. I've read on other threads where once rooted it will still download but not INSTALL the updates, anyone know??
Thanks

[q] my phone is bricked!! Help!!

I was installing Root explorer and my phone restarts and enters bootloop. I am a noob. Please help me with intructions on how to unbrick my phone. I can only enter FTM mode. HELP HELP.
I'm afraid you'd have to recover using adb,fast boot or even a tpt with cwm.

There's a debricking guide on ModaCo. Check it out
Sent from my Supernatural Blade
Go to Google, and type 'zte blade firmware'....Click on the first link (modaco), and follow those instructions...
In short:
You will need to flash the firmware, and install a custom rom...
I had been in this situation, so I know...No worries..
there is a guide on modaco to fix your phone from FTM Mode i had a similar problem and that guide was great at fixing my phone mate give it a try
As you guys said , i went through this .. http://android.modaco.com/topic/339048-guide-flashing-firmware-to-bladelibra-via-windows/
But cant understand step 8 and 9. First they say cwm 5.0.0.2 is the version for gen 2 and then flash 4.0.05 again?
Yes, when i flashed my phone for the first time i flashed 4... and then had to re flash back to 3.0.2 because that is the version that works best for my phone.
Okay so i got it to work. Its 5.0.0.2 for my phone, since i got a Gen 2 phone. But i want Dell stock firmware Android 2.2 Where can i get it?

Can't update after root...

I hope this is the right place to post, if not I apologize and hope that someone can point me to the right forum to ask.
So I rooted my nexus 10 when I got it a few months ago and now it tells me there is a system update. I can't install the update at all. Is there a way to do this without losing root? I don't have any custom roms installed at all, just stock with root. Your help is appreciated!

Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so download and fastboot flash the stock recovery ----> https://www.dropbox.com/s/bikq8zz2i4p3bf1/recovery.img
Should let you OTA update after that.

[Q] D801 TWRP after 4.4 (Rooted)?

Hello all, I did a quick search and did not find an answer, so I apologize if this was asked already. This is sort of a 2 part question.
First, I wanted to try out the official 4.4 on my D801 so I used THIS file to update without loosing root access. The only loss is it takes away your TWRP. Is there anyway I can get a recovery installed so I can switch between stock and custom? That would be awesome.
If its not possible, is there a way for me to downgrade so I can use ROM's again? I know its easy with a .kdz on a PC, but unfortunately (I really mean it, this sucks) I have a mac.
I really appreciate any help!
Thank you!

yes those are from files here before they figured out how to get recovery here is the new version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2673736 but as of this week the flash tool has begun acting up and does not want to downgrade, seems like lg caught up on what we were doing anyways good luck
