Hey! I'm wondering if I could flash MPD24.107-52RETEU OTA on the firmware of MPD24.107-52 RETASIA both are based on 6.0.1, I upgraded from an old 6.0 retausia update, it working flawlessly, just want to flash to EU-version instead, or do I have to fastboot flash? Its on my moms phone, and I preferably dont want to wipe everything.

You could possibly try if you are into experimenting, but it will most likely lead to problems which would involve wiping everything. Best way would be to backup everything ,flash the EU-version and then restore the backup.
If I helped give a like.

You mean a method like this? https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/xt1644-stock-marshmallow-to-nougat-t3540022
If you download the 93-14 Nougat firmware, that's the latest version. Nougat OTAs currently only exist for the 93-11 firmware.

Yes, your bootloader status won't matter - as long as that's all you've done. As I understand it, the update via stock recovery only cares if the rest of your phone has been modified - if you've still got a stock bootloader, stock recovery and stock kernel (from MM, provided it's up to date), it should work and you should be eligible for future OTAs.
The only hurdle I could see happening is that the build of Marshmallow expected by the OTA and your phone's current OS build do not match, in which case it won't install. Thus, you may have to consult one of the fastboot Nougat 93-11 or 93-14 threads to install, which you'll have to do if your system is modified past the bootloader.
Here are a couple for your perusal:

Thanks for the brief info, it means i have to flash it via fastboot and if that works fine then I'll be able to get OTA, but for your info, I've unlocked bootloader and installed Official TWRP but if i flash any of the firmware (given above) will i face bootloop kinda stuffs? I am scared if something goes wrong then i will even not able to restore nandroid backup. Hope you gotta help me.
Thanks.

I see you've received a response in the other thread regarding if XT1644 will accept the update; given you've flashed TWRP, if you wish to be very safe, I would suggest re-installing your Marshmallow ROM so you have a stock install before proceeding to Nougat. There's nothing stopping you from directly flashing Nougat, and the fastboot method for either Nougat build may correctly overwrite the relevant files, the only way is to try the procedure. Don't use the TWRP backup images of Nougat - they don't contain updates to your baseband modem and other core parts of your device - they are only meant to be used once your entire phone is updated to Nougat.
If you wish to restore back to stock MM before flashing Nougat, here's links to stock firmware for XT1644: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/xt1644-firmware-t3454980
But either way, read all the instructions first, ensure you've got all the firmware and tools you need installed/downloaded, your phone has at least 50 % battery and plenty of time, and you should be okay.
Hello, the other day I accidentally wiped the system when using TWRP. So i found a stock rom but unfortunately it was this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/real-official-stock-rom-xt1625-xt1642-t3575895 which is a 6.1.1 rom. Now my problem is that no updates have come through for android 7.
Regards,
Jack
What device do you have? It looks like you downloaded the MPJ24.139-64/65 build from the Motorola website and might have meant there's a mismatch between the expected build for your software channel and the build on your device. That would mean then Nougat wouldn't update.
If you desire Nougat and are willing to update to Nougat via fastboot, you could flash the March 2017 fastboot ROM (NPJS25.93-14-4). You may choose not to re-lock the bootloader if you desire flashing TWRP or a custom ROM. https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
Since I do not know what stock ROM you had previously on your device, I would exercise caution and ensure your data is backed up and off your device before attempting to flash the stock ROM. Though it's a stock ROM and fastbooting should be a safe option to upgrade with, it's still a flash affecting your system. Be careful.

Hello, thanks for your reply. My device is the XT1642. I am surprised I managed to wipe the system. I never normally am this stupid when it comes to messing with flashes and wiping data.
I have the A2017U model. I read the 7.0 update (B15) was buggy and slow. Will I need to be on 7.0 to get 7.1.1?
Opinions?

Just update until it doesn't leave you anymore, if you don't get to the latest (B29? I don't know) you have to download the latest official zip (BE SURE IT IS FOR THE A2017U!) and unzip it to get the update.zip from inside, then throw that one on the internal storage and go to Settings - Updates
On the A2017G the last 2 updates have zero problems. We had B01-02 (7.0), then B03-04-05 (7.1.1) and on both 04 and 05 they fixed everything. I'm positive that the U firmware is even better than the G's.
Also you can rollback officially and with the BL locked anytime you want (data will be wiped though), just get the official zip for the version you want and do the process mentioned above

So updating forward doesnt wipe data, but rolling back does?
Also, how is root support/BL unlocking on latest firmwares? Still available to me?
Thanks for your input.

Updating doesn't wipe, however keep an eye out just to be extra careful. Just look somewhere on the Updates page, and it'll say "This update will not wipe your data".
Root and bootloader unlocking is fine, and it seems that you can use axon7toolkit to do all that stuff easily. Otherwise just unlock on an older version an update, there's nothing you can do (apart from issuing the command) that will relock your phone
BUT BUT BUT I think that bootloader unlocking wipes your internal storage and data

unlock wipes data... be careful.
my recomendation is if you feel comfortable with stock, upgrade, you cannot unlock with nougat, but you can downgrade, then unlock.
If you like to test custom roms, I recommend to unlock, then upgrade, I use unlocked bootloader with stock rom and otas with no problem at all, I flash stock recovery from twrp, upgrade, then flash again twrp from edl, root and do whatever you want, when otas appear, reflash stock and upgrade, then twrp again....
Im now on aosp extended, really good rom, with really good performance and better battery life. my main problem is the camera, but I find that flashing super gapps (with google camera) works really good.
Its a very simple camera, but works really good, as stock in auto, you lose manual and raw, but I dont care about that things

You can't unlock with Nougat?? I heard you can simply use MiFlash to get Fastboot, then get there and do your stuff. That's what axon7toolkit does anyways

I explain my situation:
I was on fulmics 4.2 and everything ok.
Tried a flash oreo without format /data
Bootllop
Ok clean install
Still bottloop
Cleaned everything, installed fulmics + ota
Now all ok except the fingerprint, it is like it does not exist, no option in settings at all.
Does someone have a solution without flashing back a kdz?
Maybe a flashable fingerprint driver?
Same problem

with the oreo update there were also update files for the bootloader, you have to flash official nougat to recover the old version of the bootloader because the new bootloader is not compatible with nougat and created problems like the unrecognized fingerprint reader

I have the same problem with lineage 15.1. Flashed Oreo zip to test and now my fingerprint is gone in Lineage. Do you mean flash Nougat kdz to recover old version of the bootloader? or just a nougat zip?
Flashing a Nougat Zip (Open EU)worked for me. No need to flash kdz.

yes the kdz or otherwise with the zip is possible but check if the files for the bootloader and in the zip

did a restore of my nandroid backup.
Please explain step by step
So last year i started learning a bit about roms as stuff like that so after searching i saw Fulmics Rom and i chose that one to flash on my device. On that day i was on Oreo. I did all the stuff (format data, wipe...) then flashed the Rom and it was ok But the fingerprint option was there sometimes and sometimes not... After a day or so it expired so i flashed again (after formatting etc) but no fingerprint. So i just gave up, i was happy that i didnt brick my phone so i just accepted it...But today it's kind of annoying i searched a lot and everyone talks about flashing stock Nougat and then the Rom or flash stock Oreo and then Nougat and then the Rom... Well i tried but with no success.
I hope someone can help me with that
Thank you
Hello, I have a brazilian G5 Plus that originally didn't have the retail Nougat image Installed (bought form a carrier), but I was able to update to the leaked brazilian 8.1 update. The phone was never bootloader unlocked or rooted, however I'm willing to return to stock nougat in order to try Pie roms and not lose the fingerprint function. What I want to know is A) can i flash retail nougat images on my phone (as it wasnt retail at first)? and B) at what time should I make backups of EFS and Persist partitions?
Should I unlock bootloader while on oreo. install twrp, make backups of efs and persist and then flash stock nougat?
Or should I be able to downgrade to Nougat without any issues, and take backups of EFS and Persist before flashing Pie Roms?
Any clarification on the subject would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Don't try to downgrade your bootloader as it going to brick your device. If you want to make back up made the back up of Oreo(now in which your using) and nougat also, as we can't say where it goes wrong. And you can flash retail nougat image but don't flash gpt and bootloade so it don't brick your device.

If you want to try some custom rom and not lose fingerprint, all you have to do is run the persist fix, flash a 7.0 TWRP-flashable stock build and THEN flash your custom rom. No need to fastboot flash the stock image. Of course also backup your persist and EFS as soon as you first boot into TWRP.
