This is for all moto x 2014? If not, maybe the supported models should be on the topic.
Does this work for the XT1097 from AT&T??

What version of them the Moto G4 Plus do you have? I mean, XT1642, XT1643, XT1644 (there are different versions). Furthermore there's only one leaked soak test update file, which is eligible for several versions of G4 and G4 Plus, but not all of them!

Why don't you download the other file (that is for your Moto g4 plus) and flash that using stock recovery?
Just read these news about Android 7.1.1 coming to Moto G4
https://androidgeek.pt/moto-g4-play-comeca-receber-update-android-7-1-1
https://www.tecmundo.com.br/moto-g4...e-recebe-atualizacao-android-nougat-7-1-1.htm
I don't know about the first one, but the second site, Tecmundo, is one of the most reliable technologies sites in Brazil
For those who doesn't read portuguese, it says Android 7.1.1, under the 638mb file named NPI26.48-8, is coming to a version of Moto G4, the "Play" (code XT1603).
Does anyone already received this update? Will it work on other XT models?
There's a post up already showing that some users in Brazil are receiving the 7.1.1 update (either officially or as a soak test) for Moto G4 Play devices : https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/7-1-1-moto-g4-play-t3622650 Same build as you've mentioned.
It won't work on other Moto G4 devices (different CPU - Snapdragon 410 vs 617, for starters). With the Moto Z Play and G4 Play receiving the 7.1.1 update, it remains to be seen if other Moto devices will be updated to 7.1.1.

Thanks for the info.
Sorry for posting again about this but I didn't see that other thread
I hope that we get the update soon for the vulnerability fix
So I've purchased a Moto E4 off Sprint because the J7 sucks and the development looked the same to me, no ROM was different besides it's skin. but as I looked up ROMs and root for this phone, I keep getting the Moto E4 with the fingerprint scanner, not the model I have, which only has the Moto logo and no fingerprint scanner. What model do I search for for this phone? My system settings say it's the E4, and even the model number. But Google results all show a different model. Any help?

Look at your device hardware info. under about phone(settings)
their's a term SKU XT****.
search with these keywords "moto e4 verizon XT****"
ex: moto e4 mediatek SKU XT1760"

Thank you so much for replying. I have already tried this and I still get results for the Moto E4 with a fingerprint scanner. Is it possible that the ROMS and development for that phone are the same for this one?

development in case of Moto E4 series device's isn't same. if you consider installing file's of another variant of moto e4 this will brick your device.

Thanks anyways, but I found the issue. Turns out only the boost, metro and sprint variant don't include fingerprint scanners! ;-;

You can't unlock the bootloader on the Amazon Prime version and without an unlocked bootloader, you can't root. There may be work-arounds so check in the Moto G4 Plus section because it's more active and pretty much anything you can do to a G4+ works on the plain G4.
