Flashing the official 7.0 Nougat on XT1575 (6.0, rooted, BL unlocked, TWRP, Xposed)?

Hi, I have a Moto X Pure Edition (XT1575) running stock 6.0 Marshmallow w/ December 2016 update.
Android 7.0 Nougat has rolled out for XT1575. But I didn't receive it.
As my phone have bootloader unlocked, rooted, custom recovery (TWRP) installed and XPOSED installed too.
Is there any ways to flash the official Android 7.0 Nougat OTA using TWRP? Or any other methods?
Thanks

This has been discussed. Please search and read. You will get answers for all of your questions.
I've been trying to figure out the exact same thing. everything I've read says that you need to remove root, downgrade, take OTA's, then re-root. Seems extremely complicated and counter-intuitive. If you find a solution please let me know.
It is in the second post on Moto X Pure homepage... But, in case you missed it https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/guide-xt1575-update-to-nph25-200-22-t3680477 Follow this exactly and you'll have Nougat.
I wish somebody with more knowledge than i would create a stock 7.0 rom for the people that don't want total stock. I would love to but I totally admit I am no Dev. Lol as I think it would be a popular rom and from what I've seen quite a few people would love to download and install a package like that.

Fixing phone restore

Recently restoring a xt1687 Moto g5 plus 64gb version back to stock. Attempted to relock the bootloader but never flashes correctly and forced me to reflash the stock firmware.
I just need confirmation of flashing the right firmware.

Where are you from? Is your software channel RETUS? If yes 137-93-18 is the latest available firmware for you and if you're on that version your need the same fastboot firmware to lock the phone.
I haven't seen the 93-18 firmware anywhere around so what build do you use to relock?
Have you checked the thread about unlocking/relocking and followed all steps?
And btw, why do you want to relock the bl?

bootloader unlock Can You Receive Updates via Ota or No?

I am curious about these issues, my question is the following when I unlock my Bootloader I can do an update via OTA when it arrives on my device? Or is my phone going to have Hard Brick?
I want to give a Downgrande on my smartphone but it is still in stock without any modification. And through the tutorials I read ask for the unlock Bootloader. My intention is to only downgrade. A friend of mine gave the following idea: "unlock the bootloader to then downgrade and after it has been successfully done." I search how to lock the bootloader again using CMD to put a system with the bootloader locked and so in the future I will be able to receive updates via Ota. " Does This Worker Ideas In Practice?
This my Frist Post here If I make a mistake, tell me, we will not repeat.:fingers-crossed:
When it comes to being able to receive updates when bl is unlocked, that's a yes, it will work fine and won't affect your phone's functionality.
On the other hand downgrading is generally a bad idea. The problem is, when you update your phone your bootloader also gets an update. All parts of the OS except for the bootloader can be downgraded to a previous version, and if you do that, the downgraded OS can function normally on the newer bootloader.
Now comes the tricky part. If you try to do an OTA on a downgraded OS with a new bootloader, the OTA will treat the bootloader as if it were the old one, and will overwrite parts of it that it shouldn't, which will corrupt it. And there you have a pricey paperweight.
The only way of updating a downgraded device is to flash it clean with a newer version (or the version same as the bootloader).
Now what is the reason you'd want to downgrade?

My bootloader is unlocked.
I wanted to upgrade to the latest firmware and because I was rooted I flashed the firmware I was on at that moment (no down - or upgrade) again and after that I was able to apply and install every single OTA up to the latest. I could have flashed the latest Oreo firmware directly too but I wanted to test this way and to update by flashing latest firmware would have been possible after that too.
So updating via OTA with an unlocked bootloader was no problem for me.
In the end you get the unlock code from Motorola itself and it would be kind of strange if they won't deliver updates anymore for a feature they provide for their devices.

Moto G4 Amz Version

Hello, i would like to ask here if someone has the same issue, i had a fully working Moto G4 AMZ Version Running Nougat, however after waiting too much and the oreo version never was released, i wanted to try to flash the firmware and update it via rsd lite with oreo version, however this resulted in my phone bricked, i tried some ways to downgrade again to nougat however i was not able since it is not possible to downgrade to stock amz firmware once i had updated it with wrong version of 8.0, so may i ask if after maybe 1 year is there any advance or release for the 8.0 amz version firmware? i think the only solution for this is to send the device back to motorola, but i will ask first here any other ideas?
Thank you in Advance
Henser.
Use lenovo save and rescue to unbrick your phone.
I’ve tried installing stock moto G4 Android 8.1 and no luck. This is with boot loader unlocked, custom kernel and root. No luck.
same issue, i try from time to time to recover the device with no luck, still waiting for a solution with bootloader locked

Samsung T580 downgrade android Q to nougat or pie?

Hello, my tablet was a UK version with Chinese firmware (latest 2021) I tried to return it to BTU without suceess. It wouldn't let me flash other firmware after this except TWRP somehow but with a special app that unlocked the bootloader option.
The only Rom it would accept after flashing twrp was lineage 18.1 (I wanted arm64).
Now I have a bunch of apps that don't work with lineage 18.1 (boat beacon and AIS apps) and I would like to go back to a nougat, oreo or pie firmware.
I know there are some restrictions with sofware rev check etcetera when trying to downgrade from a later modem.
Is there a way round it??
Thanks in advance
