If you want an OTA, your system (including bootloader, recovery, system, etc) needs to be untouched.
If you've already upgraded to a soak test, remember - you would've overwritten your MM bootloader and recovery with an N version one (from the Soak you had upgraded to earlier)
Again, all major official updates (except small incremental one like patches maybe) look for a previous version of the OS (in our case - Stock MM)
If you've flashed the N Soak - you can't downgrade your bootloader just yet ( you'll get a Preflash Validation error)
Because a system update looks for the stock, untouched firmware (Stock MM)
That's why you won't be able to sideload the Official N update even if you're back to MM - because it doesn't have the MM bootloader and recovery etc files it's looking for.

For Indian variant who got official update that build no. is 139-63, I think you flashed wrong firmware... Flash correct firmware...
Anyway to flash the whole Nougat via adb as Mm???

Its because you flashed a wrong firmware. Flash firmware ending with 63 and not 64.
I'm already on stock Mm...

I have captured and saved for people that DONT have or have problems downloading the OTA.zip
think of this as a safety net rather than the only way to install
UK RETGB lollipop 5.0.2
Build version LXB22.46-28.1
System version 22.26.1.titan_retgb.retgball.en.GB retgb
you need to be on stock 21.11.23 RETGB kitkat to use this, fingerprint check , no root, stock recovery
method 1
copy zip to internal storage and goto about phone and check for update to software
method 2
place on external sd card and manually boot to android recovery and install
UK retgb Lollipop 5.0.2
remember its named after your old kitkat firmware not as a new lollipop firmware
RETDE 5.0.2 OTA.zip
lollipo
Auto brightness is bit flickery seems OK so far

does not require unlocked bootloader is original
I think they rolled out all the OTAs for GB at the same time, I got mine earlier today but didn't notice.
PS: Its my birthday, thank you Motorola!
Just got notified of the pending update on my retGB model, can't do the update just at the moment but fingers crossed it fixes the notification problem some people (and me) have with the phone.
Does any one have the stock 21.11.23 RETGB kitkat recovery to share please? :crying:

Hi all,
I am using xt1643. I installed nougat sock test rom and it is not providing options to update to final nougat rom. Current build npj25.75-2
I read in a thread that downgrading can cause problems. So, what should i do: downgrade to marshmallow and then upgrade via ota or directly flash final nougat rom??
Thanks in advance.

The 75-2 soak test update is a dead end unless you were on the official soak test program. I've not seen any further updates captured to allow you to formally upgrade via OTA to the official Nougat (currently build 93-14).
You could explore either option though:
1) Downgrade to MM, do not flash gpt partitions or bootloader (omit those commands) - you may find a signed stock ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1643-updated-signed-t3460695 (and the associated guide for downgrading: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/how-to-downgrade-nougat-to-marshmallow-t3487201). Then update via OTA to Nougat. You may prefer this to ensure that your update comes directly from Motorola. EDIT: note this method will void your warranty.
2) Flash via fastboot/RSDLite either the 93-11 Nougat update (v7.0, Nov 2016 security update) https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/android-7-0-install-nougat-official-t3531612 and update to the latest version via OTA, or flash 93-14 (v7.0, Dec 2016) https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369 This option is the more direct/less potential for things going wrong, it's up to you how much you'd trust the updates you flash. EDIT: This method does not appear to void your warranty.
With either option, back up your key data and be aware your settings and personal data may be erased in the process. Personally, I'd suggest a full wipe to limit the number of issues that may arise. Good luck though
You can now flash full stock roms with (the right) TWRP:

It appears to be the same method as one of the 93-11 methods I posted above: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/android-7-0-install-nougat-official-t3531612
Just bear in mind with using the 93-11 update to install it in India or somewhere we know that particular firmware has been released (and thus has an upgrade path to the latest 93-14 firmware) or download this 93-14 OTA update once you've updated to 93-11. https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/ota-zip-update-npj25-93-14-t3539407
Thanks for the help....Followed the other link and successfully upgraded to Nougat full build 93-11 and then updated using OTA to 93-14.
Hello, I am running stock image, unrooted, locked.. at one point I tried flashing the Nougat update from the Indian release but it failed with an error. I had no problems, wasn't bricked or anything, just wasn't able to install.
I now see it says software status modified and am wondering:
1. will this affect my ability to get the OTA update? I'm seeing people are getting the update but I don't have it available yet. I know it's rolling out in waves but I'm worried I might not be eligible even when it does reach.
2. How can I restore it to say not modified? I thought maybe flashing the stock image but I can't find the stock Amazon images. On the Moto website under relock instructions the XT1625 shows up with a .64 firmware but since I have the amz variant I don't know if that will work?
Any advise appreciated
Well won't you believe, I am now downloading official Nougat. modified software status doesn't affect it. phew!
Thanks for posting. I decided to check for an update on my non Amazon version and there was an update waiting. ?
I was on 139-48

Everywhere I've been looking for the stock ROM for my phone (Moto G4 XT1622 RETEU channel), but I just find links to some sketchy file hosting sites with old versions. Is there any official way to get the latest stock ROM?
I was on LineageOS for the longest time but decided to go back to Stock because a game got updated and doesn't work on any custom ROM anymore.
The ROMs provided by Motorola are old - 6.0.1 (Build MPJ24.139-64) to be precise. As far as I know the update to Nougat has long been released. But I installed the old version anyways, thinking that I'll get the new one via OTA. But every time I check for an update it tells me I'm on the latest version.
Is it because I have an unlocked bootloader? I already tried to relock, but if I understand correctly, I need a newer version of the stock ROM to lock it. ("preflash validation failed / security version downgrade"). But I don't have or can find a newer version xD Am I screwed?
Look on MOTO G4 Plus forum on XDA. Both are Athene and should work for both devices. Revivor2, CreamPie Nougat, and stock by DroidPhil are roms that can be flashed via TWRP. You can download official stock roms and flash via FASTBOOT also. March Security Update is the safest official 7.0 stock rom to flash. June Security Update is an OTA addition to March's one and can cause brick on some devices if you want to roll back to an older rom like March Security Update.

I think you haven't written build number correctly ?
Can you put screenshot of "about phone" ?
Have you ever flashed stock ROM in past year ?
UPDATE:
That's nougat soak version !! Right ?
Nougat soak update haven't got any update, you have to flash updated official firmware yourself.
See link for how to flash latest September's security update : https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138

you have probably flashed the soak test of android 7.0 over 6.0
Motorola have clearly said the people who have flashed soak test manually will not get OTA updates
the only way to get updates is flash the stock rom via fastboot..
