I installed the RootJunkie firmware ATHENE_MPJ24.139-49_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip on my Amazon XT1624 and I have the bootloader unlocked. Will this update lock my bootloader? Does this update includes the ads from Amazon?

---

I doubt it will relock the bootloader, but since its the amazon software version, the ads will be back

RootJunkie says otherwise. He says it could lock the bootloader.

Not sure but those of us that flashed the stock moto image should stay away from this. Mine now tells me

When you flashed the firmware, did it lock the bootloader? If it did, did you unlocked it with Unique ID Moto emailed you?

---

mine was never unlocked. that in its self may be the issue as well. Im looking for ways to get mine back up and running

as expected moto support was un helpful. the only thing they would say was to send it in to them.

I flashed it with fastboot. Rsdlite would work if there was an .xml file

Have you tried installing this image of a Stock Amazon OEM image. But I think it needs TWRP, but I am not sure.

You probably are more tech savvy than me, but I would try using Moto Fastboot and see if it gets past the verification.

Try this with the Moto Fastboot:
If you downloaded a firmware with .xml.zip extension, follow these steps:
Type the following commands in the cmd window one by one and press Enter key after each command line. Make sure that you see OKAY message on cmd after executing each command:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
Your phone will reboot automatically.
Wait till your device boots up. Go through the initial setup and enjoy!

Just FYI to people here:
The image that was posted on Moto's site is for the XT1624, the Indian Moto G4. This is not supposed to be flashed on another model, like the US XT1625. If you try to flash it on another model, regardless if you have an unlocked bootloader or not, you're gonna have a bad time.
