Hello friends Will installing the Nougat OTA capture void my warranty and will I recieve further OTA updates?
If you haven't unlocked the bootloader then it probably isn't voided. On the other hand, it may prevent you from receiving the final OTA since what you're talking about is most likely a soak test version.

i am not able to see OTA update .i was on 4.4.4 when i checked about updates and it was showing you are on latest updates.there is no OTA update.then i installed the 6.0.1 through odin still its not showing OTA update since there are 2 more updates came after this 6.0.1 update,may security patch.i have tripped knox way earlier.recovery is still stock.when i first tripped knoxed still i was able to getting OTA updates.whats wrong now ?
I have installed manually nougat update soak test through recovery mode .now my warranty will void or not??again in future I can receive OTA UPDATES form moto or Not??
If you didn't unlock the bootloader then you are still covered by warranty.
Register the phone on Motorola site and you can also see the warranty there.
However you will not get OTA updates with the Nougat file that was floated here, you will have to side load the final N when it will be available.
As of now, there wasn't an "official" release, don't be fooled by the topics names here.
i updated my phone to N soak test so my bootloader also got updated currently i'm using cm14.1 wanna go back to stock and lock bootloader to claim warranty due to screen burn in issue will it brick if i downgraded to marshmallow and then upgrade via OTA because that's what happened to last generation moto G devices

Warning, there are risks.
Don't downgrade your modem! There is a chance that you will lose finger print and one simcard. Maybe that is not an issue if you just want to make the phone look vanilla. Some say that it works fine with newer modem.
Hey guys,
I've been on nougat soak test since it's release back in 2016 and decided to downgrade to Marshmallow today. I am now on MPJ24.139-48 (6.0.1) and when I search for updates my device tells me that it's already up to date.
Is it normal? How can I get the lastest official firmware?
Sorry if my english isn't the best, it isn't my native language.
Thanks in advance.
Hmm, that build should be updating to MPJ24.139-63/64 and then updating to Nougat.
However, as you've downgraded, it's not necessarily a good idea to use OTA updates. To be safe, you could look into flashing the NPJS25.93-14-13 v7.0 Nougat stock Dec 2017 stock firmware here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
What software channel is your device? This firmware has been deployed to Indian, Brazil, EU and UK devices as far as I've seen, and if you're in those territories you should expect to receive OTA updates. Whilst you may be okay with flashing this firmware on other countries' device variants, you may not receive OTA updates.
On a retGB (UK) XT1642 device, this NPJS25.93-14-13 firmware is running well though.

Hi and thank you for your answer. I am from France, I don't really mind not having OTA's if I can flash updates. It is juste that I have been away from xda for more than a year so I'm a bit lost with all the firmwares around. OTA just feels easier.
Will try this firmware tho.
If i install the UK fingerprint version here . Will the update still come to my phone? I see they have new updates now and oreo 8 is coming. Will i be able to install those from within the device or will i run into issues?
Also are there any issues using the UK rom over the US rom?
Also are there any better ways to enable the fingerprint sensor without install the UK version?
Does it also void warranty?
Thanks!
I'm in the US & I installed the UK ROM you link to above. It works as advertised. I wondered about receiving the update as well and read through the entire thread. It says you will be able to receive updates and you won't void your warranty since you are flashing official firmware. Of course that is just a post on an internet forum and carries no weight. Other than the warranty does it really matter? You can always update using Flashtool.
Yesterday I updated to 8.0 following this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/how-to/stock-8-0-root-recovery-t3747479 and now I have 8.0, my bootloader is unlocked, I have root, adaway, my phone passes safetynet, and most importantly it still works..
There are some subtle differences between N & O that have made it worthwhile. Sorry I can't be of more help, I can only share my positive experience.

if you unlocked your bootloader, while you might be if there is an update, you can't just download and apply it from phone. If you're only interested in major android upgrade, this won't be a problem as at most we probably will only got one more android major version update (or none, it will be close to two years after device release).
If you are interested on monthly security update though, this could be a pain to flash manually each month
So if i just install the UK via the xperia flash tool method here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/how-to/fingerprint-reader-version-flash-t3470154) , will i get OTA updates for security patches? Or do i have to manually do it every time?

Yes, you will receive updates as long as you do not tamper with the bootloader or recovery. If for some reason it doesn't work you can always use flashtool to apply an update. The convenience of the fingerprint reader working far outweighs the inconvenience of having to update a phone with a computer.
