Amazon Ads & Bloat Removed from the Motorola Moto G 4th gen
Hey Guys as soon as i heard that Amazon was offering a device with ads for a lower price to amazon prime member i was pumped and ready to remove those ads as soon as i got the device in hand.
well Amazon has made it really easy for us in many ways.
You can just flash one file that i have put together to remove the ads and all of the amazon apps in one shot.
Requirements
Moto G 4th gen tested on the XT1625 may work on other models i dont know.
Motorola Drivers installed
Motorola program RSDlite 6.2.4
The Files and remove-amazon-bloat.xml file i created HERE
Steps
1. Boot device into bootloader / fastboot mode by powering down then holding volume down and power until it boots
2. Open RSDlite 6.2.4 and select the remove-amazon-bloat.xml
3. press START and wait for device to reboot thats it once rebooted your amazon apps and lock screen ads are gone.
NOTE If you are having problems with RSDlite and windows 10 use this XT1625-Amazon-Bloat-Ads-Remover-Without-RSDLITE

Hi rootjunky
I have a problem on the *#*#4636#*#* “testing”, by accident touch “select mobile signal band” and select united states. And my carrier is not compatible with those frequency bands. And I don’t know how to get back to the euro bands. Only united states, cellular 800, PCS and class 10 (800Mhz secondary) are shown.
Hi rootjunky.
Your device have been unlocked Can’t be trusted
“id: bad key” Is normal??
moto g4 xt1625
the bootloader is unlocked? Motorola sent me the code!
Same here. Stuck on step 2.
This doesn’t work on andriod 7. I tried it today but it gets stuck on step 2. Do you have an update for this version?
Thanks.
Thanks for your great tip. Is it still working on Nougat?
It’s also failing with the RSD method, here is what it says in status: “Failed flashing process. 3/5 flash partition “gpt.bin” -> Phone returned FAIL.”
I tried it, but it crashes when I press Step 2. Nothing appears to be any different after that.
