Is my Moto G4 Play dead ? - Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers

Hi, I have a huge problem with my phone.
Recently I flashed the stock ROM in version 6.0 for my moto g4 play and I tried to do the updates. during the second update, my phone went out and this is the hard brick I was running on Android 7.1 before so I think there's an incompatibility beetween the bootloader and the OS, that's why my device is bricked
Using Blank Flash I was able to start my phone in fastboot mode. But this process locked my bootloader.
atm I am in fastboot mode with a locked bootloader and USB debug not activated, what can I do ? I can't flash anything...
Thanks

please I'm desperate. Is there nothing to do ?

Hey I was on the same boat, my moto G4 play was out of warranty and with just ₹300 they fixed the software. If you are from Kolkata then visit the Chadni service center, the guys are really helpful and cooperative. Now this moto G4 boots and works. That blank file that you flashed from the other thread is not correct for XT1602. I learnt this from the service center. Just take it to the service center and they will fix it up for you.

They say that they have to change some pieces of the phone whereas it's just a firmware problem, to make me pay more... At that price, I'd better buy a new phone !
Really, is there a way to re-unlock bootloader without using developers options ? or is there a way to flash a ROM without an unlocked bootloader ? Thanks

I read that it's possible to force device to go in edl mode and then flash the ROM, but I don't know how to go to this mode with this phone .
Thanks

I tried a few but was not able to.

Accidentally flashed wrong firmware!!

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.

I have faced the same problem with my first Gen. When I went tracking the root of the issue, It came out that I tried and downgrade the bootloader of the device, which left it unusable. The last sort was to take it to RMA or get a local repair.

Almost half the price. Check if local shops could be of any help? They tend to cost less. But do check with RMA and ask them about the price and all.

The YouTube channel you linked to is called "Android Doctor" and your profile biography says "Im the Android Doctor" so it's obviously your own Youtube channel. There's nothing wrong with linking to your videos (unless it's against XDA ToS I guess) so why lie about it?

Your warranty is already lost, it's like trying to be virgin again. You can relock the bootloader, but you can't revalidate your guarantee.

Only the message for only cosmetic purposes? You need a modified boot animation. So far is not available for the G5. Only for the G5+.
But the device still will be out of warranty.
The warranty is lost in the very momento that your ask for the unlock code in the Moto website, even if you don't make use of it to unlock your device.

Yes, only for cosmetic. Tks

Great Tutorials
having never flashed an Android phone before i,ve watched your videos one at a time ,then viewed again until I felt confident in my knowledge and then with careful slow steps pausing your tutorials as I went ,I can report a total success on rooting my G5 ,removing the bootloader warning ,installing substratum themes aswell as your steps for tweaking .
I just wanted to pass on my gratitude and thanks for your advice , It is easy if you are patient and absorb all info given .
greet videos i tried all on my device and fully rotted with cust recov
big thanks
i got rooted my g5 but due to some reason i had to give service center and they replaced the twrp recovery to their stock
so i want twrp (phone is still unlocked but when i tried normal method it doer not detect my phone) back can you guide me
Hey guys in my case, I bricked my phone and it was not able to boot. Because I flashed the poly os Oreo zip file from sorceforge.net which is under development. But when I went to the service center, I told them that my phone was not booting, they didn't ask me anything and said we will check and let you know. After one hour they told me your handset is dead. They replaced the motherboard free of cost. I don't know how this is possible, because I unlocked the bootloader' and flashed the twrp.

They probably couldn't even identify the reason you had the phone not booting. I also think it's improbable here in my country they will check if your phone was unlocked or not unless your phone is booting for them to see. In other words if the phone doesn't boot at all and if it doesn't show any sign when connected to USB or whatever methods they have to see if your phone is booting, they will replace it.
I'm pretty sure however, that motorola keeps records of the phones which required the unlock code, and I doubt very much that in the United States they would not check it.

There is no solution if its hard bricked as of now.. Either u can change the Mother board or you can get the Emmc flashed by Jtag flashing..
I need the bankflash too.

If in India, you can fix it from Pune.. Me and many of my friends got it fixed from there.. They do fix it by flashing emmc using easy jtag box.. It must be there in other countries too.. Just have to enquire !
Finally, are there such files?

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.
