1643-Indian version-Stock Boot and Modem Files - Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion

I am posting the stock boot.img and Modem files for the 1643 Indian Moto G4+ who are facing the issue of losing their network and Wifi after flashing stock images provided in various forums. In fact NONE of the links provided exclusively work for the Indian Moto G4+. Hence thought of providing these files. Just download the stock from the provided links from the forums and flash with these files replacing the ones in the downloaded stock zip file if you face the issue of losing network and/or wifi.

If yku have searched Moto G4+ and G5+ forums you would have already found the solution.
Here is the link for Moto G4+ to solve that issue:https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-moto-g4-plus-imei0-issue-t3859068
Here is the link for Moto G5+:https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5...ist-resolve-imei0-explanation-t3825147/page24

Theres also different countries available btw. And stock "rom" is different from stock "firmware". Roms do not consist of modems,bootloader, and recovery images. So maybe flashing stock firmware will work

Q&A for Stock firmware images
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
Please note that the latest 4.4.4 firmware images are no longer being uploaded to sbf.droid-developers.org.
It's better to check here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27 and read through the thread in OP for announcements about new firmware availability.
Be very careful with Fastboot commands and never 'fastboot erase all' or format random partitions.

Hey,
I am pretty new to all of this. I have bought a Moto G on Amazon Germany, it's a XT1032. I installed Cyanogen and it keeps freezing and I have to restart the phone once a day because it slows down.
The question: Can I use a GPE version? Any reason not to? I would use this one:
XT1032_GPE_444_Optimized_v1.1.zip
Cheers

You can try GPE, without problems. Just follow a proper guide, the partition table between stock and gpe is different.

You can use GPE without formatting 'userdata' by read the first post here and flash the GPE zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-rom-collection-t2854688
Basically you need to flash the non-GPE Stock 4.4.4 Kernel immediately after flashing the zip.

Moto G XT1033 issues
Please help me. Today i flashed an AsiaRetail Lollipop 5.0.2 Firmware with fastboot. But i didn't like it so i tried to flash 4.4.4 gpe again, flash a recovery and install a custom kitkat rom but after i flashed the 4.4.4 gpe, the rom just doesn't boot up anymore, it is stuck on the "Bootloader unlocked" screen. I tried to reflash the lollipop firmware over and over again, it just doesn't boot up anymore. Please, help me.
I mention that my Bootloader is the 41.18 version.

[INDEX] Moto G4 Plus Factory Firmware Images[Athene]

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything that happens as a result of flashing these files. Your destiny is your own.​
Moto G4 Plus Factory Firmware Images
Please report broken links. New Mirrors welcome!
​
WARNING: Flashing a Firmware Image is not a safe way to downgrade.​
How to flash:
[GUIDE] Moto G4 Plus Newbie Thread - Restore stock firmware​
No longer maintained. Removed content.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I restore Factory Firmware if my Bootloader is locked?
Yes. However attempting to downgrade to an older version of Android may fail. Even with an unlocked Bootloader, downgrading cannot be guaranteed. It's also important to be aware that flashing the wrong Bootloader for your model can have serious consequences. Always establish your model of Moto G4 Plus before flashing.
What does 'Preflash Validation Failed' mean?
'Preflash Validation Failure' happens when the Firmware Image you are flashing is older than one you have previously flashed.
After flashing Firmware Image files phone gets stuck during boot-up | will not load Android?
Refer to the guide. Check you are naming the files correctly, and make sure you are flashing all of the 'sparsechunk' files - not just those mentioned in the tutorial. The 'sparsechunk' commands listed there are not to be copied exactly, different firmware images have different files.
Downgrading and OTA Updates
If you downgrade, it is advised to avoid all OTA Updates. These updates can result in a hard-brick (phone will not turn on) if you have a newer Bootloader than the one expected.
This thread was made with a reason so people can easily find their stock rom links. Everyone is welcome to help. Please state your model/carrier and post the link here. I will add it to OP. Thanks!
@yeshwanthvshenoy, many firmwares available at Moto G4 firmware page. Even better part is that the links of downloadmirror are pretty damn good too speed-wise.. add these URLs too and give proper credit.

@itskapil I already made a list of firmwares and their models but I need some people to test and tell me. I can't post just with some assumptions. I have links of filefactory only. Maybe people can look that site as an alternative.
General Filefactory folder with a bunch of stock ROMs: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=DESC&show=25
There are some things that are really confusing me, both in this Filefactory folder and the ROMs posted in the OP. For example:
XT1641-XT1643_ATHENE_6.0.1_MPJ24.139-13.3_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
The XT1641 is the Canadian / Mexican G4 Plus, while the XT1643 is the Indian G4 Plus. Both device have two different sets of radio bands (for example, the XT1641 has HSPA Band 2/4 and LTE Bands 12/17, while the Indian model lacks those but has LTE Bands 1, 8, and 40, among other differences). So, if one were to flash this ROM, would they be flashing the Canadian/Mexican modem, or the Indian modem?
Similarly, there this file:
XT1621-XT1622-XT1642_ATHENE_MPJ24.139-23.4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
The XT1621 is the Canadian/Mexican G4, while the XT1622 and the XT1642 are the European G4 and G4 Plus, respectively. Again, the two regional models have different bands enabled, so if you were to flash it, would you be flashing the Canadian/Mexican modem, or the European modem?
I'm not surprised that G4 and G4 Plus images are combined for the same region, (such as XT1625-XT1644_ATHENE-RETUS_MPJ24.139-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip, which is the US G4 and G4 Plus), but these other images that have model numbers for different region devices with different modems is confusing me.

It's intended for the US models, XT1625-XT1644 RETUS. The US models launched with MPJ24.139-48, this is an incremental update, MPJ24.139-49. The changelog was just "improved call quality". You may be able to flash it on the Indian model, but be sure not to flash the US model's modem, as it has different sets of bands enabled.

I have done it.
Offcourse you can downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop. I did that 2 to 3 times, haven' faced any issues. What I want to let you know is be careful with each and every step when proceeding further.
I think you aren't rooted, so no TWRP. I have the same device, what I usually do is get the TWRP backup to an external sd card before messing up, so in case anything goes wrong you can directly roll back to the point where you started.
2 things I want you to know before starting :
1. If you are too much concerned that your device may get bricked, I think you must unlock the bootloader, root the device, flash TWRP and get a full backup and then proceed further with downgrading.
2. Usually if you are careful, you can directly downgrade without doing step 1.
Starting off
1. Download the stock firmware from this Link
2. After downloading follow this Link for flashing the Lollipop Rom.
I hope this helps.

U have done it before the security patches or after the security patches cz security patches upgraded the Bootloader and In order to downgrade i think i need to skip motoboot and gpt files am i right bro or correct me if im wrong
I never updated anything on lollipop, though it was rooted and had TWRP installed. I don't remember everything but I received the security patch updates, i tried installing but each time when the device rebooted the installation failed. (I think because of unlocked bootloader)
When Jio came up, I was having VOLTE issues on Lollipop so I wanted to update to Marshmallow but I couldn't do it over OTA update. I backed up the lollipop rom via TWRP and then manually flashed the marshmallow rom myself. Everything was good but I didn't like the vertical app drawer, so again I backed up marshmallow rom and then rolled back to lollipop rom with minutes. After some days I had to restore to marshmallow again. And after months, today I am on AOSP Extended rom based on Nougat. Excellent Rom.
So regarding you questions, I suggest you to go through the comments section of How to flash factory images page.
I already told you, if you are concerned then unlock the bootloader, root, TWRP. :good:

Sir the boot file is before the motoboot.IMG (bootloader) and gpt file
Is the boot file required to be removed as with the bootloader and gpt file.please correct me.
My name is Anshuman and I am from Rohtak ,Haryana
I have a moto g3 osprey xt1550 Indian model with viper os on it (viper os is a great ROM).Please reply as soon as possible.
Finally I tells you that you are 85% right. I tried by removing the gpt and bootloader file.
Do want to restore it to back stock 6.0.1
downgrade to 5.1.1
I downgraded to 5.1.1 using 6.1 stock reckovery for reset before flashing.
Flashed factory image without flashing gpt.bin and bootloader.img
After reboot i got a notification to completely deinstall motorola sensor-firmware in order to went back to a previous version.
Not knowing if this will brick my device, i only disabled the notification by longpressing it/ question mark/.. a screen opened where i could block this notification.
Till now i could not see battery life improvement compared to MM or N Roms

Yes you can downgrade by using stock recovery with having Motorola update notification but you can not do it with twrp recovery as it may be dangerous for your phone.I had done it successfully with stock recovery of 5.1

Sorry bro Motorola hasn't released the firmware and also it is not available on XDA also there are chance that we will receive them late but I'm not sure about that and bro first thing to relock the bootloader u need to have the same firmware on which u unlocked the Bootloader. So to relock the bootloader again u need the firmware latest with oct/jan/april security patches .
