Motorola Firmware for xt1625 (>= MPJ24.139-64) - Moto G4 Questions & Answers

Any idea where I can download firmware files for the xt1625 with build #MPJ24.139-64 or newer? I flashed my phone with the firmware from xt1624 thinking it would work, but now it can't get past recovery. I'm able to flash oem.img for MPJ24.139-48, but when I attempt to flash gpt.bin, I get the following error:
Code:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'partition' (32 KB)...

And where can I find this? I have looked in all of the places it is supposed to be but have had no luck locating it. Doesn't seem to be available at this time.

I don't have -49. My phone has -48. I would like to find a copy of the original firmware so I can return to stock if necessary.
UPDATE: Disregard the above. I found it.

I don't think it's been released for our model yet. I've been checking everyday. If you need to restore the stock firmware, use this one: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591023225178637

The -49 version is for the XT1635 not the XT1625. I have no idea if it will work with the XT1625, but experience has taught me that you should never flash any version except the one intended for your specific model. These forums are filled with people who didn't follow that simple rule and they are now bricked.
Here is a link to the -64 version for the XT 1625:

The link I posted is for the XT1625 and the XT1644 firmware.
Here is a link to flashing the firmware from Fastboot. Be sure you have the correct firmware before you flash. Read the instructions very carefully and be sure you understand BEFORE flashing. If you still have questions, ASK!

Stop trying to flash older versions of the ROM. It won't work for the reason you stated. When you flashed the -64 ROM did you get any errors at all? When you reboot, do you get the warning about your phone being unlocked? You should if everything flashed correctly. Also, you are certain you had the XT1625 with 139-64? Did you flash directly from fastboot entering the commands one at a time? Or did you use Flashstock.bat? I always do the commands individually so I can verify each one is successful. It takes more time and you need to be more careful but I prefer that method.
When you say you are stuck in recovery, do you mean the bootloader or stock recovery? I am assuming you mean the bootloader since you were able to flash the ROM using Fastboot. When you are in the bootloader, press the volume control until START is displayed next to the power button. Then press the power button. it should boot the phone. If it doesn't then I have no idea what to suggest.
Let me know what happens.

I'm sorry but I am out of suggestions. I didn't have any problem flashing this firmware. It must be something that happened when you first attempted to update. You might try to flash TWRP and see if you can flash a custom ROM. Other than that I am out of ideas.
I wish you luck my friend.

My tale of woe (looking for xt1644 stock rom)

I just got my xt1644 (G4 Plus, US version) yesterday and was trying to get root.
I got through successfully:
1) Unlocking bootloader.
2) Flashing TWRP.
3) Flashing the boot.img from the Root-motog4-athena-xt1641-xt1643.zip file (maybe a mistake, but read on).
4) Flashing SuperSU.
So then, I HAD root, but no WiFi. Seemingly others had this problem, so I added the ro.securestorage.support=false to the build.prop.
Nope. Still no WiFi. So I tried to change the build.prop BACK by deleting that line. Then, on the next boot, it stays in the "Your bootloader is unlocked" screen and does not boot to system.
I DO have bootloader access, and TWRP still works.
So, if anyone has:
1) A stock build.prop for the xt1644, or
2) New ideas, or
3) Access to the stock rom for the xt1644, which I cannot fiind,
PLEASE let me know.
Thanks!

Posted this in a bunch of stock ROM topics.
For root, there is no need to flash a new boot.img. Just unlock bootloader, flash or boot TWRP, type in the command to tell SuperSU to flash in systemless mode, flash SuperSU, and reboot.

Yay! I got the phone back by flashing the stock ROM, then rooted using the guide, and I'm happy.
Thank you for pointing that stuff out xtermmin! I never thought to look for a ROM file with a name other than one that started with xt1644, and couldn't figure out how to search the directory.
You saved me.
Thanks again!

Filefactory link is acting very strangely. Its just loading the basic html, no css.
Could someone give me a mirror? Im as stuck as OP was without it.
EDIT: It took a few minutes but filefactory loaded enough of the css to get the download button. I may reupload somewhere and post a link when I get it downloaded.

So i did the same thing as you by flashing the xt143 file, and now my adb will no longer work. The phone will not give me an RSA key prompt. I've deleted the .pub file in data/user/android. Any tips would be appreciated.

Which zip? The stock ROM zip? You can't flash it via TWRP. You have to boot into bootloader mode, connect to a computer, and flash via fastboot or one of those "easy flasher" tools.

Any way of knowing if the file that was just uploaded on Oct 20 is for XT1644?
Based on the name it seems to be the one that I am using now in my XT1644. But I got my file from the other place...
I just bought a XT1644 off ebay for cheap that isn't reading the sim and also isn't able to work with wi-fi either. I am hoping that it's also a case of incorrect firmware having been flashed on it. Keep your fingers crossed for me. LOL

Did you use PayPal? If the owner didn't warn you about the problem and listed it as a working phone then you can get a refund and return it. If you didn't use PayPal you may be stuck with it.

The seller appeared to specialize in used phones, possibly a pawn broker, or a cell phone reseller that does trade-ins. Those are usually the best kind of sellers, as they know enough to see there is a problem and will document it and price it accordingly, but they don't have the time or patience to fool with actually trying to fix the issue.
I will post back with my success or failure. I caused a original Gen Moto G to behave in the exact same fashion when I flashed the wrong firmware on it, and I was able to fix that one with a little trial and error. I learned a valuable lesson on being more careful, and that it was possible to just flash the radio from the firmware zip files instead of flashing everything.

The issue was documented in the ebay listing, with photos showing the blank IMEI info. I've had success in fixing this exact issue on a original gen Moto G after I accidentally flashed the wrong version of the firmware on it. I wound up using the UK radio for it to unbrick that one's cell radio.
Yeah, it needs to be the exact same radio.
Moto has a backup partition for bootloader and radio, and on flashing wrong ones it restores the "correct" one when booting with factory Android firmware. That's why after flashing TWRP, booting all the way into stock Android, it will be reverted to the normal bootloader. That's why we can flash LA.BR (Latin America / Brasil) firmware on our US phones - the baseband is "corrected" at the boot time.
But if you boot with a different that stock firmware, after flashing the wrong radio, than the "backup" capability is lost and subsequent firmwares need to have the exact original radio. And the "repair flash" of the baseband (radio) needs to be done with NON-stock firmware, because that one will "revert" the firmware to the old, wrong, one.
Don't forget, besides the software differences between models, there are also hardware ones.
I got it in the mail today. I flashed it with the ATHENE_MPJ24.139-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml version of the firmware, and it fixed the issue. It did give me an error about flashing the recovery, which leads me to believe that it probably had a slightly newer version of the firmware installed. It did come minus the back cover. Does anyone know a good US seller with OEM replacement back covers for the XT1644? I ordered one from a chinese seller on ebay but it's going to take a long time to get here. I bought a nice looking Hybrid case to put on it, but not sure if it would be safe to use it without the back in the hybrid case. I worry about moisture getting into the phone. I do carry my phones in a holster on my belt instead of keeping them in a pocket though. So far I really like the Moto G4 Plus it's much nicer than my 2nd Gen Moto X, and much thinner and lighter.

RUU flashing condition is device's main version must equal or lower than RUU's.
But your device's main version is "1.62.401.1", RUU is "1.15.401.12", so it cause such of this error.
You can try to erase the main version text data through TWRP recovery after that it might be allowed you do RUU downgrading.

This won't be allowed if your device is S-ON, and i guess that the RUU file will be leak on easy-firmware in few days.

I didn't try to downgrade nothing, in fact the phone isn't mine, it's my wife's and she doesn't know anything about flashing ROMs and stuff, so the problem was not there. The phone actually started to get tilted and slow one or two days ago and then today finally "died".

How are you flashing TWRP with a locked bootloader?!?!?!
With a locked bootloader you cannot downgrade, the version on Moto's official site (MPH24.49-18_18) is actually just MPH24.49-18, which is the original Marshmallow when first released in December 2015. Moto support has been notified of this mistake in version and date on the website and have yet to change it in over 6 months since it was mis-posted.
You require MPHS24.49-18-16, which is the December 2016 security update released via OTA in February 2017, or newer version, but the problem is that it is not available. At this point we do not know if/when newer versions of factory firmware images will leak out or not in the future. The newest version we have available is MPHS24.49-18-8, you can attempt that and skip bootloader.img and gpt.bin, but I am guessing with a locked bootloader it will fail since it is still a downgrade.
You have a locked bootloader, with a bootloader state of 0? Contact Moto for repair, without an unlocked bootloader there is nothing we can can do at this point.

Yes, my bootloader is locked. I understand that to unlock it, i have to get into developer's tools and change some option so I can get the code, am i right? Unluckily, there's no way i can do that since the phone won't start. Any other way to unlock it?
I tried to load other versions but it wont work, the errors i get are the same i get when installing the version from the webpage, so i guess they are related to the fact that they are older versions.
To sum it all, i have a rock with the form of a phone until Motorola's people hear us and upload the latest version??? Any crazy idea i could try to make the phone work?
Thank you for your time acejavelin, really appreciated.
I would contact Motorola support and see what they can do for you.
It will help to know which version of the Moto X that you have. Your thread title has Moto X Style, with the model number of the Moto X Pure Edition. The style is XT1572.
I would tell them that you tried to follow instructions listed on the phone with no luck. Remind them that current software is not available on their web site.

Any other way to unlock? Nope, impossible actually.
Basically, you need to contact Moto... because you are still locked and stock it can be repaired, either in or out of warranty. Once the bootloader has been unlocked Moto won't even look at it. And that "Software Repair Assistant" was Verizon specific I guess (weird, right), but you can try it https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-209216/ since it seems to have support for Moto Z Force (it's in the sample picture) so who knows, might work.
Motorola doesn't release firmware images, except for what is on their webpage (which is old for all models listed) and even their requirements are for an unlocked bootloader. The only firmware images we have are ones that are leaked, and that source has reported that it is very difficult (almost impossible) to access these builds now... I would speculate it in part goes back to Moto's pattern of planned obsolescence, but at the same time these images affect such a small number of individuals that they probably don't care anyway.

I just realized this is in the old Moto X 2013 area... I will request a Mod to move it.
MY wife somehow made it power on today in the morning. I guess that's the only hope as I wait for the Motorola Support to give me an answer. Impossible to send it to them for repair as i'm from Argentina and i bought it in USA.
Sorry about the misplacement.
Is there any recovery image I could somehow install bypassing the locked status?? The Windroid application "installs" a TWRP and it somehow manages to switch the CID from 0xDEAD to 0x0009, whatever that means.

Are you using the newest minimal adb...?
https://devs-lab.com/download-minimal-adb-fastboot-tool.html
UPDATE: Somehow the fastboot changed, the buttons with the options turned into a menu with options inside a light blue bubble and an image of the android pet with his belly open appeared. Seeing this, I tried to flash the gpt bin dzidexx gave me and it worked, but after that I tried to flash the bootloader and it didn't work. I guess I will try again later, because now I'm leaving to work. I will try what you told me later dzidexx. Thanks.
UPDATE 2: After that happened and i rebooted the phone, now its status switched from "stuck at fastboot" to "doesn't power up". I guess I screwed up. How can I fix that? When I plug it to the computer, the PC makes the sound of something being connected to one of her USB ports, but other than that there's nothing I get, it doesn't even appear in Windows Explorer as a connected device. @dzidexx
Nothing you can do in home.
I think the motherboard is broken(before you asked here) - memory.
Sometimes it happens.
Only warranty repair or other GSM service(motherboard replacement). @lcn23
I guess it has something to do with the aboot, because that was the only thing that got installed when flashing bootloader.img.
With locked BL you cannot check/repair it. @lcn23
Then I guess I hard fkin bricked it, damn me.
@acejavelin any ideas of how can I take it out of QHSUSB state??

Nope... Bootloader is gone if it's going QLoad mode, nothing can be done now but get Moto to fix it. We don't have the necessary files to flash in this state.

Was your bootloader unlocked ?
In bootloader loader screen it shows locked now, and system modified !
Baseband is unknown in bootloader screen, so i can say modem is not getting installed, (plus there may be other things too which are not getting installed)
Noe, do it, Flash ROM again,
But with entering one command at time,
After flashing/ending of one command, check that you are getting "OKAY"..
Let us know if there is any error or "FAILED" at command end.

I have never faced or seen anyone with this like issue,
Wait a while, @echo92 has better experience with this like stuff, he will guide you better than me.
Till than you can try blank flash again, with replacing gpt and bootloader from ROM's zip.

Wait, December's !
You got your device back is good thing, but remain stuff will be of September's patch..
Now if you get update notification for December's patch dont take it... It will brick your device again.
You will have to wait for fastboot ROM of December's patch..
Till then, keep your phone on September...
Don't take OTA...
When December's patch build is available flash it with fastboot...

Good to hear you got your device working. As ____Mdd has mentioned, I would strongly recommend you wait for the Dec 2017 stock ROM to flash. Looking at your bootloader details, since you've got a Dec 2017 GPT, a June/September 2017 bootloader and a marshmallow baseband, you likely cannot safely take OTA updates.
Because you've downgraded from Nougat to marshmallow, taking OTA updates runs a high risk of hard bricking again and our current blank flash may not work on your device now you've flashed the Dec 2017 GPT. Thus, do not take OTA updates until you flash the Dec 2017 Nougat stock ROM (which isn't available yet), and if you later downgrade again, do not accept OTA updates. Else the OTA updates may corrupt your newer bootloader again (bootloaders do not downgrade) with no recourse except to wait for a newer blankflash or a 8000+ rupees repair.
I have the same case and it sends me an error in the boot.

I am trying to flash my ROM as the phone is not turning on in any method be it normal of recovery mode or factory mode. My phone MOTO G4 Plus is unable to flash the ROM as it is OEM_LOCKED and None of the options from the bootloader menu works. On selecting any of the options from the power button nothing happens except for the barcodes which show the barcode and RESTART BOOTLOADER restarts the bootloader.
Please help someone.
Is there a way to unlock OEM without turning the phone on as I can't turn it on.

Nothing I just kept it for charging overnight. And it doesn't power on in the morning. I plugged it while it was on though.
Someone suggested it has damaged its motherboard.

Hmm, do you recall if there was an update notification at all before you put your device on charge?
Without getting your device to boot, there's no way to toggle the OEM_unlocking function unfortunately.
If you can, when you've plugged your device to your computer and booted to the bootloader:
1)Open a minimal ADB command window on Windows (download/install minimal ADB from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 other fastboot/adb tools should work too)
2)Type 'fastboot devices' without quotes into the window. Press Enter - your device should respond with its serial number.
3)If you get that response, type 'fastboot getvar all' without quotes. Press Enter.
4)Please paste the output here or upload it as a text file (or paste it into a site like pastebin and put the link here). You may wish to omit the IMEI.
We could try to re-flash the stock firmware that you had, but if that doesn't solve things it may start to look like a hardware failure.

Thanks for the response: Here is everything you asked:
I am sure there was no update notification as I always download any update that is released as soon as I see it. So I might have updated already.

Moto G4 Plus boot to TWRP problem

Morning,
I have a Motorla G4 plus UK model XTN1642 I rooted this and installed TWRP when I first bought it several months back.
Yesterday, I got the 'update is avaialble' notification and follishly I allowed it to download and then install which failed, now the phone will only boot to the TWRP screen each time it restarts.
However, If I boot into bootloader then manually click 'Start' the phone will boot normally, but this is not ideal.
The phone is running stock Android 7.0 build number NPJS25.93-14-4, i've tried reading the forum but there is quite a lot that I don't understand and I don't want to make it worse by killing it completely and then not having a phone to use.
Can anyone give me a straight forward way to get the phone to boot up normally without having to go through bootloader and then manually click start?
I'm hoping that it is something simple, I don't have any backups of the device either!
Look, with twrp installed there's no way to update via ota. That's why I reflashed stock rom for getting the ota update. Although I planned to flash 6.0 M stock initially, I managed to flash 7.0 N stock ROM since it was available on this forum.
The version I have at the moment is 25.93.14.10 which is the September 2017 security patch. My another G4 absolutely untouched received ota today from 14.4 March patch to 14.13 December patch. I am not quite sure what happened to my 14.10 September patch. Why there is no ota? Maybe because this ROM was found on the G4+ forum?
Back to your question, find a stock ROM to flash, don't install twrp as it will modify the recovery. For install ota you will need to keep the ROM completely untouched.
Hi,
Yes, I am aware of that now but at the time I wasn't or else I wouldn't have done it.
But, after reading through teh forum, I followed this https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4/help/ota-upgrade-7-0-twrp-installed-t3727807 after which the device booted normally again.
I should have left it at that, but again, I was notified of the update, so having read the thread above, let it go ahead, it download the update and rebooted., I then tried to root again and install twrp and elementalx and now it doesn't boot just get a black screen, I can still get into twrp and bootloader though.
Here is what I get from fastboot getvar all

I've blanked out the IMEI and Serial number in the above
I guess I should have left it ater getting it back and booting, but it sort of made sense to do the update then I needed to root it again.
What now?
right then,
I've followed this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 and the phone is back up and running, i've lost all my data stored on the phone, but that is no big deal.
Now, is there a current thread that explains simply how to root this latest version and install TWRP again.
I don't want to stuff it up yet again, I reckon i've been luck so far to recover it TWICE !

How are you rooting, and what software are you using?
The general order for rooting is to:
1)Flash/boot TWRP. Either the official TWRP (3.2.1 - https://dl.twrp.me/athene/ ) or shreps' TWRP should suffice: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...covery-twrp-3-0-2-r3-moto-g4-g4-plus-t3494337
2)In TWRP, backup your stock ROM and make a separate copy of your kernel (boot) partition.
3)Flash ElementalX or another custom kernel. Ensure this happens before you root else you'll bootloop. ElementalX v1.04 or v2.0 is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/kernel-elementalx-g4-0-01-t3424836
3a)Wipe cache and Dalvik. At this point, you may wish to boot and check your device is working. If so, proceed to 4)
4)In TWRP (or boot back to TWRP), flash the root manager of your choice, either SuperSU v2.8.2 SR5 https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133 or magisk 14/15. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 Do not mix and match root managers without fully uninstalling and flashing the stock kernel again (hence the separate backup you made in 2)).
5)Wipe cache and Dalvik if not done in 3a) and reboot.
6)Any issues, revert to your backup made in 2).
This should give you a device booting with the latest stock ROM and rooted. This procedure is working on a XT1642 with NPJS25.93-14-13 (same firmware as you have now) and ElementalX v2.0 and magisk 15.3. As I linked in the other thread you've seen, you may wish to disable the Motorola updater to stop you from getting into another TWRP bootloop.
Hope that helps.
EDIT - have a look at this thread too: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4/how-to/guide-how-to-root-moto-g4-magisk-stock-t3725712/
Hi
thank you for the reply, very much appreciated, I'm keen to get my phone rooted again as I use 'timed toggles' to switch the phone into aeroplane mode when i'm asleep etc.
When I last rooted it after I bought it, I used magisk from what I recall, but I amnot really fussy to be honest.
Yesterday, I bravely attempted several times to install twrp in fact it was the shreps version which I found a link to, but for some reason I cannot get it to install.
I boot the phone using volume down button and power, then connect to the pc, then type fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-athene_shreps.img.
during the flash, I get the following
OKAY [ 0.406s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Image not signed or corrupt
OKAY [ 0.203s]
finished. total time: 0.608s
I then immediately boot to recovery using the volume keys and power button, after the device reboots, I don't get TWRP, justa dead android lying on it's back with a red exclamation mark above it, beneath is written no command.
I've had about four goes, but each time I get the same, am I missing something?, i've followed various threads and tutorialsd to no avail.

I don't know what is different in your last post detailing how I go about rooting the G4, but that is basically what I did and it failed continually to restart to TWRP.
I've just tried again, albeit from a different PC (Windows 7 x32 instead of Windows 10 x32) and downloaded the zips from your links, and it has worked perfectly first time.
I've powered off the phone several times and each time i'm able to get into TWRP, I have also done the root using Magisk, again worked first time, I have deleted the apk from /system/priv-app/3c_ota/ so hopefully i'll not be in this position again!
Finally, i've also done a further full backup now everything is installed and the root is done using TWRP, so if anything does go awry, I should be able to (hopefully) revert back.
Thank you very much for the very informative instructions, they have been of great help, hopefully they will be for others too.

Good to hear it worked I'm glad that it worked on your other computer - Windows 10 appears to cause some headaches on flashing - I don't know if it's to do with the driver signature enforcement, that I don't think Windows 7 has. I've not had issues with Windows 10 flashing for the most part, though I do have a computer with a BIOS and not UEFI - though that being said, last time I flashed TWRP (shrep's TWRP), it didn't stick and required another re-flash, so maybe it's to do with the updated B1:07 bootloaders in both cases?
By the way, that 'image not signed or corrupt' message when flashing TWRP is normal and expected. TWRP is not cryptographically signed with the keys that the system/fastboot is expecting, so it's simply a message to alert you.
Have fun with your new root powers (please use responsibly )
