Accidentally flashed wrong firmware!! - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

Hi everyone, I am confused as to what to do with my moto g4 plus. Actually motorola had released an update which lowered my notification and ringtone volume. Sometimes it wasn't even audible, so I decided to restore the stock rom. I downloaded xt-1643 firmware since that is my model number. After flashing that firmware I suddenly couldn't access recovery mode. My phone did boot up but it was stuck on the searching Wi-Fi screen and I couldn't even skip it. What should I do? Pls someone give me a potential solution asap. Thank you!!

I don't know which one to download. My model number is xt-1643 but when I downloaded and flashed that this thing happened. And the link of filefactory doesn't start the download at all. Can you please suggest me something else?

Can you please provide me the link for xt-1643 please? I am somehow not being able to get the correct link and whenever I get one it is either blocked or for another firmware. I need the stock rom for my indian variant. It would be really helpful. Thanks

I used a vpn and connected to filefactory successfully. But stock roms for moto g4 plus aren't there. There is only for moto g3 and the older ones.

Flash the ROM from this link. Its the latest one for 1643. Directions are given in the thread.

Accidentally Wiped OS and IMEI number from phone.

I accidentally wiped everything from my phone while using TWRP. This includes the OS and the IMEI number, baseband number, WIFI mac address etc. I download the stock ROM and flashed it but now my phone does not detect my SIM card or WIFI because of the missing IMEI number and baseband number. Is there any way i can get them back?
i think u installed rom of differrent model,so properly check it and download it acc to ur model,it helps.
Nope! You're busted! You can reinstall an OS, but addressing an IMEI number to your phone is afaik impossible. You now have a somewhat small tablet without network possibilities... To be short: a paperweight!

Do you have to unlock your bootloader to flash this? I'd like to take a more permanent approach to remove the amazon ads and bloatware besides the amazon-remover.apk but don't want to void the warranty just yet.

Somewhat related: My attempts to relock the bootloader on the XT1607 have not been successful after many hours of flashing the stock rom. I do not know if simply that model cannot be relocked or if the XT1607 rom files have a problem (checksums are vaild to the flashfile though).

Moto G4 Plus (XT1644) IMEI = 0 after Stock Flash

Hello, my G4 Plus reads IMEI 0 when *#06# in ROM, but I can read the correct IMEI from fastboot getvar imei and can see my correct IMEI in /proc/config/imei. Any help to restore my IMEI is appreciated, I will be happy to provide and test any information as needed.
Also, I can connect to my carrier, but I cannot use voice, data, or SMS. Sometimes it drops to no service.
Would anybody happen to know how to enable RNDIS + DM + MODEM mode on the G4?

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so I'd go to TWRP and flash the stock 93-14 N backup that's floating around somewhere on XDA.
Also, make sure to flash the radio and fastboot corresponding to your stock ROM version.

Did you make a imei backup Image the first time?
Gesendet von meinem Moto G (4) mit Tapatalk
I think the IMEI isn't erased. I had the same issue last month. There are different types of firmware(custom roms are based on them too) and they doesn't notice the IMEI If you flash the wrong one. So I would recommend to flash the right and if you do not know the right, try every (I suggest to test the Indian one first. In most cases it is the solution).

That's not good idea to flash all available firmware. It can be old firmware and flashing old firmware (downgrade) can damage lots of things on your device.
First tell us which device you have and if your your phone is g4plus and not changed to normal g4. FingerPrint working correctly ?
Try "fastboot getvar all" command check if it shows your IMEI somewhere, and post result here. ( if it shows IMEI, then tell us and remove it and post.)

In my case I flashed all firmware included in android 6 (it's stock) from a custom android 7 build. I know it's an old thread but I'm still open to suggestions and hoping to fix this.
To make more sense, I downgraded from 7 to 6.

Can't lock bootloader, help appreciated

I originally bought my Moto G5 Plus unlocked from Best Buy. XT1687. I rooted it a couple years ago, tried Lineage out for a bit, and something else. I ended up putting it on 8.1.0 and unrooted it, however, I can't lock the bootloader. The image signature fails, and the pre activation fails as well. Everything I've found online says this means I'm trying to install an older version of Android than what's on my Moto. My Moto is only running 8.1.0 though. I'm just trying to get back to factory settings and official US retus XT1687 conditions. Any help for this would be greatly appreciated.

You need singed image of firmware to flash the device and lock the bootloader. You can get singed image from here or from Lenovo moto smart assistant.
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/potter/official/
But I suggest you to keep the device bootloader unlock to keep safe from getting hard bricked or any other problems which occurs after installing stock ROM.

Thank you, I was looking around and having quite a hard time finding anything. It's not my main phone so I'm not so worried about it bricking. Currently the Lenovo tools can't connect to it anyway.

Boot into fastboot and connect the device to pc, select moto g5 plus, rescue option and flash the device or you can manually flash the device, with the firmware I gave above.

Yes, I have to manually do it because the software doesn't recognize my phone.

Strange, mostly it supports all variety of moto G5+. Don't know why it not support your device.

It supports it, and sees it, just doesn't recognize it to fix the software.

Never heard anything for g5, it happen for older devices as I remember, but with app update it also got fixed.
