Locked bootloader? Nope, not happening. Moto's do not support downgrading, this is not a Nexus/Pixel device.
Even if your bootloader was unlocked, it seems to me that Nougat changed the radios and partition tables, it might not work even to use the "partial flash" method where you skip certain key components like gpt.bin and bootloader.img, and possibly even radios, would all have to stay on Nougat.
Better to look at the problems your having with Nougat and fix those rather than downgrade.
I downgraded mine from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 a while back

No change to partition table or RIL from lollipop to marshmallow.
I can confirm, No problem downgrading, gpt partition gives an error during flash, but device boot with no problem.
someone said that after downgrade we can flash custom rom, but i haven't tried it.

I am trying to achieve the same. Trying to downgrade from 7 to 6.0.1. How did you do it? Unlock your boot loader? I have experience of flashing OnePlus/Nexus/Pixel/Samsung. Motos are completely new to me and quite confusing right now. Apologies for the noobness.

Hi,, sorry about the late reply. Yes, you will need to unlock the boot loader. Please use this guide unlock:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3200808
Then this to restore firmware. Please see the alternative commands for not relocking.

Going back to stock MM would not do any good to the navigation bar problem. It's a hardware defect faced by many other people using this device, including myself. Yes I know it started after Nougat update but trust me I've tried almost every solution of going from this ROM to that but that doesn't provide a complete solution. On some ROMs, the bar worked for few days and then again went dead completely. So I would suggest you to reconsider your plan of going back to MM with an expectation of getting the navigation bar problem solved.

But that part of screen is working in other conditions, so that cannot be a hardware problem. It must be a software issue. R u also facing same issue? Didnt u took ur phone to service center?

If you are talking about lock screen icons, then yes they do work, but their circle of response is bigger than that of navigation bar buttons. You can check this by enabling show touches in settings. Yes, I'm facing the same issue too. Even one of my friend with Moto X Style is too facing the same. The only solution to it is to replace the display + digitizer which would cost around 8k - 10k INR via official service center.

Danger of hard brick
Mind you, the you that you have installed the version 5.1 and you please do downgrade.
If possible downgrade and works CORRECTLY, but does not drop the bootloader version. (Motorola apparently not contemplated back the bootloader)
Well, if after downgrade accept an OTA, OTA is flash the bootloader and, being superior version, fails, result: this just corrupt. The phone turns off and no more lights. If the computer connect this is recognized as QHUSB_BULK. That while you have battery, since neither charge.
There are many moto g afflicted with the same problem, and have been waiting to release the BLANKFLASHFILES files needed to revive the phone. Unfortunately it seems that Motorola only thing it does is send to the affected to a technical service, with subsequent payment of repair, as it seems to those files could change the IMEI, etc.
So you know, maybe not downgrade, but if ye do not accept any OTA, the cell dies.
I speak from experience,The announcement is made
I downgrade from 5.1 to 5.0.2 thanks for the info bro

i downgrade my moto e XT1524 and he's hard brick
moto G solution does not work for the moto e
is the a solution ???
can someone explain this with some better english?
In short, please never install any OTA update if you have downgraded from 5.1 stock rom to 5.0.2 stock rom. Otherwise your moto e will be dead permanently as motorola will never release the files to recover it.
If you have hardbricked in this way, only solution is to sell all parts individually except the motherboard like me. I have recovered 50% of its cost (Moto E 1st Gen).
Would flashing 5.0.2 bootloader along with downgrading prevent this issue ?

Excluding the flash bootloader probably would avoid the brick

Sorry, I don't understand.
If I downgrade to be safe from brick I should:
a) Leave the the 5.1 bootloader
or
b) Flash the 5.0.2 bootloader and then flash Lollipop 5.0.2
?
Thanks in advance.

A
If you already have version 5.1 bootloader CAN NOT DOWNGRADE, that's what causes the brick.
The flash fails and nothing happens, do not touch it.
The OTA is that if it tries to update and how it can not be corrupted. No more lights.

Even if you would want, you couldn't downgrade INCLUDING bootloader )))
If the phone is unlocked, then any kernel, system, modem, and recovery can be flashed. Feel free to experiment, but don't receive any OTA after that. Receiving OTA on unlocked Motorola phone is prohibited, generally speaking. OTA mechanism isn't aware of every of your modification inside the phone, so kills what's not right to him.

RSD lite is not recognising because you must be using windows 10. RSD lite needs windows 7.
yes downgrading to 5.1 and updating is another way to do it but I have never tried that method.

yes you can remove the bootloader warning message. here follow this thread forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/themes-apps/boot-logo-stock-disable-bootloader-t3257606
Dont affect locked bootloader??? And next update???
no, otherwise you can extract the boot logo from the stock firmware and flash it.
Before rooting my Moto G4 plus, system status in the bootloader was "Official". After installing twrp I made a Nandroid backup and then rooted my device.
The system status changed to Modified
Now I have restored the unrooted system again and reflashed the stock recovery.
But still the system status in bootloader is " Modified"
My question is : Will this hamper ota updates?
Probable ans I think: Yes coz system is Modified according to bootloader though actually it's not (coz it's stock only)
Discussion: Is there any way to perform ota without re-flashing the stock firmware?
Note: I have the Backup of Unrooted (unmodified) system and the stock recovery.img too.
Help and participation really appreciated
No. This will not hamper OTA updates. Infact you have already taken the steps necessary for updating once the phone is rooted. Unrooting and restoring stock recovery is what all users who have modified their system have to do, once they recieve an ota notification. Also u don't need to reflash the stock firmware, once the ota arrives, u can update without any issues.
The only problem with having a modified system though is that you might not get any warranty support from Motorola. But then, i am sure you are aware that unlocking the bootloader voids your warranty...

I understand want you meant.See first to get stock you have to flash the stock firmware and lock the bootloader.Though bootloader will show modified.But to get there is only one way i.e through an ota update.So you will have to wait unless a new ota comes.And after installing ota it will become official.
On the same lines can anybody share the recovery.img for Indian version XT1643, Build no MPJ24.139-23.1??
Thanks in advance
