Hi guys.
Basically the new official update for the Moto G4/G4 plus are around the corner (supposedly) and I have already unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, installed the Xposed Framework and made modifications with Gravitybox. Now, how much of this do I need to undo in order to get the update without problems? Or will we be able to just update it and it'll wipe out everything? In case that I needed to unroot it, how can I do it?
Thanks guys.
Everything except the bootloader unlock

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean it, I think I didn't choose the best title.

All of it most likely, especially after installing Xposed and Gravitybox. Flash the stock firmware before the OTA comes out, or just wait til an updated full ROM is released on File Factory or the Moto firmware site.

Thanks! I'll do it, let's see if it's worthy. Do I have to do it before it's released?

Flash a full factory image. That's a best option. This could help: http://www.androidsage.com/2016/02/29/install-moto-g-android-6-0-marshmallow-factory-images/

WTF??? Please tell me this isn't a hoax...
Edit: why would the nav bar be Lollipop style if it's upgrading from Kit Kat?

Good point... It would be hilarious if Motorola upgraded the X to Lollipop before any Nexus devices got it.
Estimated time between soak test and official ota?
Guess I must have answered something wrong in the surveys
I wouldn't be surprised if we got it before the nexus devices...
Post disappeared from the Moto site.. Looks like a mistake?
I dont think so, it maybe the soak test, but the moto g notes are still there

Sounds great. Thanks for keeping us posted. Ah i haven't posted here in awhile but i thought now would be a good time to sign back in
it looks like I might be rooting my motox for this if you guys get a zip posted on here....makes me wonder what I didn't do to not get to be the few who did get it.
If we get the OTA zip you will need to be stock, so don't root just yet.

Stock? There's nothing but stock atm? Also we can just unroot right? And we could still flash it all while a custom recovery is installed right? And just flash some files through fastboot.
New Update, but not Marshmallow
Should others like us not in Germany update it?

In the zip is as radio update, but also something else for the system.
But the patch notes are not saying anything about other Updates.
So I don't know.

Thanks buddy. I just flashed full 2.2.1 full rom and then the 2.2.1-x OTA. Then SuperSU, Xposed, Custom Kernel and so on. Booted up. No issues.

http://downloads.oneplus.net/2016-04-20/opx/OnePlus_X_OxygenOS_2.2.1-X/
Full rom is up.
For rooted phone, just flashed in twrp. Then flash supersu, and other stuff (e.g. Custom Kernel, xposed, 4k hal mod etc). Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
No data lost

This is not a blog, nor OP forums, nor a sales thread, nor reddit.
They a) didn't promise anything, be glad that you WILL recieve OOS 3, b) offer you to use a custom ROM and root without losing your warranty(!!!) on a high-end low price phone.

They promised that the update will be at the beginning of the year
But, you have right, sorry for typing opinion
They promised only that you will get it in Q2/2016, that is April - June, so they have 2 more full months if they want to...

I look at my system updates, and I see this! I couldn't believe it! Nougat is finally here!
Just checked and received it as well!
Has somebody captured the OTA file?
Can we root the android nougat?
I had Verizon before. They are known for doing updates late and completely messed up. At least they aren't late this time. I'm just miffed that they dropped it before RETUS.

I had every intention to but I was so excited that I forgot before I updated. If no one else does and I can find a stock file to go back to MM, I will try.

You do not need root to read most system files.
It used to be in /cache but deletes itself after the flash.

I know. Since I flashed it, I couldn't pull the ota through logcat.
My update is having issues. Tried a handful of times and would get "update could not be verified" or something similar after the download would complete update. When it doesn't fail verification, the install fails after rebooting. wtf, I have tried the VZW/Moto software update program but it returns that I have the latest software. Guess that channel might not be updated yet.

Is it an official ADDISON_VZW or is it a RETUS device?

What is the issue with the Verizon variant for root? I am willing to commit a good tip for a verifyable process to anyone that can do it in a reasonable timeframe. Anyone else willing to donate to the cause?
The bootloader can't be unlocked.

The device is official VZW. I also have the " device has failed verification" warning on start-up. I'm sure that's not helping things either...

Anyone else getting a system update today? I've already got owacerts set as .bak and sys updates disabled, but for some reason I'm still getting the nag? Any thoughts on preventing this? Nothing to freeze in Titanium for FOTA, or System Update since it's a diff variant.
hmm i think it might be version 10p as i update a while ago

I have already released a flashable version of this update here:

If you are rooted you can install it. Read all the warnings first though.
