If you need official-style stock firmware for the Motorola Moto G4 athene series, the packages below cover multiple XT162x variants you shared, including Android 6.0.1 and Android 7.0 builds for service, recovery, and software restoration work.

These archives are most useful when the phone has software instability, failed OTA behavior, bootloop symptoms, or needs a clean return to stock for legitimate repair and troubleshooting. Community discussion around the Moto G4 update cycle included reports of random freezes, app malfunction, battery drain, ghost touches during charging, black screen during calls, and some game crashes, which is why matching the correct stock package matters.

Verified Research Notes​

  • Moto G4 athene launched on Android 6.0.1, and Android 7.0 Nougat later rolled out to the Moto G4 family.
  • Before and around the Nougat period, users in community discussions reported random freezes, malfunctioning apps, battery drain, ghost-touch style behavior during charging, black screen during calls, and some gaming instability.
  • A later Moto G4 / G4 Plus update identified as NPJS25.93-14-8 was reported to include the 1 June 2017 Android security patch.
  • A separate third-party report links build NPJS25.93-14-18 to an April 2018 security patch, but a full official Motorola per-build changelog was not located during research, so detailed fix claims for each package should be treated cautiously unless independently verified.
  • For the specific files below, reliable public changelogs were not found for every individual package, so this post lists only what can be confirmed from the filenames and public update reporting.

Flashing Preparation​


  • Confirm the phone’s exact model number in Settings, fastboot mode, service label, or motherboard documentation before choosing any file.
  • Back up all important data, because a clean stock flash can wipe user content.
  • Charge the Motorola Moto G4 to at least 50 percent before starting.
  • Use a reliable USB cable, a stable PC USB port, and the proper Motorola drivers or service environment.
  • Extract the firmware first and confirm the archive contents match the package type you intend to use.
  • Do not cross-flash between XT1621, XT1622, XT1624, XT1625, and XT1626.

How to Flash the Firmware​


  1. Identify the exact Moto G4 variant and choose the matching firmware package from this post, including the correct XT162x model and region/subsidy tag.
  2. Extract the selected archive on your PC and review the contents so you know whether you are dealing with a Motorola XML service package or another stock archive layout.
  3. Boot the Motorola Moto G4 into the appropriate service mode, then connect it to the computer with a stable USB cable.
  4. Use a Motorola-compatible flashing workflow to load the correct stock files and begin the installation without disconnecting the device.
  5. After flashing, allow the phone to reboot fully, complete the initial setup, and test core functions such as network signal, Wi-Fi, charging, camera, and calls.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)​


Download only the package that matches your exact XT162x model number and the closest region or subsidy tag shown on the phone’s current software channel. A mismatch can lead to boot problems, failed flashing, or radio instability.

Both are included here. The MPJ24.139-23.x packages are Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, while the NPJ25 / NPJS25 packages are Android 7.0 Nougat-era builds for the Moto G4 family.

Public community discussions around the Moto G4 Nougat period mentioned random freezes, malfunctioning apps, battery drain, charging-related ghost touches, black screen during calls, and some game crashes. These reports are useful as context, but they should not be treated as proof that every firmware package fixes every issue.

No. Public reporting confirms the Moto G4 Nougat rollout, a June 2017 security patch for NPJS25.93-14-8, and secondary-source reporting around NPJS25.93-14-18, but a complete official changelog was not found for every exact package listed here.

Yes, matching stock firmware is commonly used in legitimate repair work when a Moto G4 is stuck on the boot logo, fails to boot after an update, or needs to return to a clean software state. Success still depends on using the correct model-specific package and whether the device has additional hardware faults.

No. Even though these phones share the athene family name, you should not cross-flash different XT162x variants unless you have verified model and channel compatibility from trusted service documentation.

In legitimate service or repair environments, flashing stock firmware may reset certain system states. Always service only devices you own or are authorized to repair, and follow local laws.
