You can't flash an OTA with TWRP. You need to flash the factory images with fastboot, it's all in my guide:

No if you read the guide carefully. It states how to flash everything WITHOUT losing any data or applications.

No it doesn't, did you read my guide at all? It probably isn't the best idea to be giving out false information.
Has anybody tried to update with this app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash&hl=nl I would like know if this works good.
I'm in the same boat as OP
Should I flash MMB29V or MHC19I and do I need to update my twrp ?
I'm on stock MMB29Q with ROOT with twrp 3.0.0.0
Thanks guys any help would be super appreciated

Go for the latest, which is MHC19I, you'll need to update to TWRP 3.0.0-1 though.

Do I flash the newest twrp or does that go thru fastboot as well?
And is there any radio or bootloader that I need to update as well?

All through fastboot, the radio and bootloader will be updated when you flash the factory images.

I had to update TWRP afterwards.
I Flashed twrp and then did the newest factory image and kept my custom recovery and now it started up in a boot-loop
Please someone help me!
Edit
I cleared the cache in recovery and it booted
Why am I getting a "Your Device is Corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly."
Does moto g4 plus will receive official Android updates after rooting. Does goto settings->about phone->check of updates still works after rooting the device.
You'll get notifications about new updates still, but you won't be able to install them if you have TWRP installed. If you flash the stock recovery back... not sure.

Which SuperSu are you using?
The one in this post works for Quark Motorola Marshmallow. SuperSu beta 2.62. After you flash it for initial root, then you can update to newer version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69722490&postcount=17
INITIAL ROOT ON QUARK MOTOROLA MARSHMALLOW 6.0.1
This same version of Marshmallow was released back in July for sibling Quark Moto XT1225. We found out then newer versions of SuperSu don't work for initial root. You need this older version first. No need to re-invent the wheel. It's the same device, same software.
_______________
Go ahead and download SuperSU from the attached file at bottom of this post. It's an older version of SuperSu but works well on the Quark Motorola Marshmallow ROM. You can always update to newer version later.
BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651
Attached to this bottom of this post or download from here:
https://download.chainfire.eu/751/SuperSU/
Flash this version initially. You can update to newer version later. (People had problems flashing the very newest SuperSu for initial root, but this version works good. Again, you can update to newer version later, after you gain root.)
_______
BONUS TIP - SuperSu Setting
After you reboot, go into SuperSu settings and UNcheck this box. Mount namespace separation.
Uncheck that. Disable that. Then, reboot.
If it's enabled it will conflict with Titanium Backup which you will use at some point, or should. And you will have no idea why Titanium Backup is saying you are out of space, when you are not -- but it's due to this setting in SuperSu!

No. You can just reflash your choice of boot logo to replace the unlocked warning screen. It's just a static image Motorola insists on showing you that your bootloader is unlocked. I know, I UNLOCKED it on purpose!
Here's boot logos (not to be confused with boot animation -- the boot logo is what you see before the boot animation starts) you can flash with ADB. Various colors of the Motorola M logo.

Have you done any modifications at all? Even in the past? For example, if you were rooted and then unrooted, if any files were left over from that process, the update will fail. If you had xposed and removed it, same deal. Even if you replaced your emoji file with an updated one, that will also cause it to fail. Did you modify build.prop? Fail.
The only way to be sure that it will pass is to reflash MCG24.251-5 with fastboot before taking the OTA. Or you could always do it the easy way and flash MCG24.251-5-5 with TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/rom-mcg24-251-5-5-100-stock-t3565795

It will fail. Any modifications at all (like root or TWRP, for example) will cause the update to fail.
So I'm guessing it's for "security" issues. So I really don't need to take this, because it involves to much crap... Unrooting, cleaning cache, reflashing, having to do the phone over again, etc.... If that is all true, then how can I get rid of the system update?

If you look at the update script for the OTA, the first two thirds of it are dedicated to checking the system partition (and maybe other partitions. It's a pretty long read and I certainly haven't read all of it) for modifications. If the update is failing, that means it has detected something that does not match what it is checking for. I don't think the qe flag matters, because in the past I'm pretty sure that I've been at 1/1, and after a successful OTA it changes to 0/1.

Don't know if this would help someone install an update like this, but let me throw this out there. There's a way to boot to TWRP custom recovery and use TWRP without installing TWRP. Think of it as "temporary" TWRP.
Thus, you should still be able to flash stuff, including any TWRP-flashable updates, boot logos (to replace the unlocked bootloader warning, SuperSu, etc -- and when you reboot you still have stock recovery.
Now, I don't know why anyone would want to keep stock recovery when TWRP recovery does so much more... But I just recently helped someone with the same suggestion. He wanted to install SuperSu, get root, but keep stock recovery -- for some reason.
Anyway, think of it as "trial TWRP" or "temp TWRP".
I remembered when I made factory images for my Quark, in a variety of states, I used this temporary TWRP trick. I'd almost forgotten about it!
So, seems like you could flash THIS TWRP-flashable version of this update while temporarily booting to TWRP (but not actually installing it), and it wouldn't matter if everything "checked" out or not.
Of course, if you like it, then you can always install it permanently.
For reference, here's the most recent version of TWRP for our phone. (use the one with the most recent post date. @bhb27 updates it fairly often.)

TEMPORARY TWRP
OK, here's another suggestion. There is a way to boot to TWRP to install SuperSu but NOT install TWRP. You will not be flashing TWRP over stock recovery. You will STILL have stock recovery when you reboot. Think of it as "temporary" TWRP.
Put the TWRP file in your ADB folder and use this command. Your phone will boot to TWRP, but it will not be permanently installed. You can then flash SuperSu while booted into the TWRP interface and then reboot back to your system.
fastboot boot file-name.img (whatever your file name of TWRP is.)
Whereas, the command to permanently install TWRP is this:
fastboot flash recovery file-name.img (whatever your file name of TWRP is.)

Back when I first got this phone -- now over two years ago -- I made a bunch of backups in TWRP and posted the images online in various stages -- pure stock, stock + root, stock + root + TWRP. I made the first two with the "temporary" TWRP. People could flash them and already have root without having TWRP installed.

See? Even just stock + rooted but with no TWRP. I made that backup with a "temporary" TWRP which did not overwrite the stock recovery.
But they were only for 4.4.4 Kitkat, which came with this phone. After we went to Lollipop, I posted some more images, but just pure factory. Still, the "temporary" TWRP trick is useful.

But you have something different than a 1540. I believe 1540 was the last to get the January update, while there are other models with 6.01 which the 1540 most likely will never get.
I've never got an update.
Just got mine today, 6/26/17. Also have an XT1540.
So I followed the same instructions here as I did for the last security update to a rooted device. It worked perfectly with the exception of the unlocked boot loader warning. The dark logo I used survived the January security system update, but was lost with this update.

If you are on stock ROM, unrooted, and stock recovery, you should be able to take the OTA upgrade with no issue regardless if your bootloader is locked or not.. I had to restore my unrooted stock ROM prior to accepting the OTA update. Than using TWRP, I restored the data partition from my last saved rooted ROM.

I would not proceed if TWRP is installed. You need the stock recovery installed for the OTA upgrade successfully install. Once stock recovery is installed, you can boot into TWRP and complete all actions as if TWRP was installed. I never installed TWRP.

That is correct. I still have stock recovery installed, but I use fastboot commands to boot into TWRP recovery.
After connecting the phone to the usb, using Linux, I do the following commands from the same directory where my TWRP img file is located.
Code:
./adb reboot bootloader
sudo ./fastboot boot twrp-osprey-3.1.0-r1.img
This loads TWRP in your phone but does not install it.
From windows I think the commands basically the same without the "./"
