THIS GUIDE IS FOR THE MOTO G6 PLUS ONLY

If for any reason your phone is no longer functioning properly such as a bootloop (the phone is restarting itself over and over), "Can't Load Android System," "Startup Failed", or any such error you can fix this by flashing the stock firmware using fastboot.
I have taken stock firmware version OPW27.113-89 and packaged it with a few extras. XDA Member luiz_neto has provided a modified logo.bin that removes the unlocked bootloader warning during boot. A special thanks to XDA Member lohanbarth for providing the stock firmware. I have included the fastboot file for Windows, Linux and Mac users. Windows users can run the .bat file to execute all the necessary commands. For Linux and Mac users, I have included a bash script. You will need access to a PC and connect your phone via a USB cable.

*On your phone:
2A. With the phone powered off(even if for just a moment between the phone rebooting) hold the Power button and the Volume Down(Vol -) at the same time. You should boot into what is called the bootloader. It should display information on the screen and state "AP Fastboot Flash Mode" in orange lettering.

For Linux and Mac you need to make the script file executable. It will make the fastboot binary executable for you. From a terminal run these 2 commands one at a time:
Linux:
Mac:
Your phone should reboot on it's own. If for some reason it doesn't try tapping the enter key on your keyboard or use the volume keys to make sure “Start” is selected on the right side of the phone and pres the power key on the phone. It should successfully boot the stock firmware.
