I have Custom ROM stock nougat
Can I install only the MM bootloader, do full wipe, and install a custom MM ROM, just for recovery?
Downgrade for recovery?
I'm confused about what you want to achieve, are you asking if you can downgrade to stock marshmallow from stock Nougat, to flash a custom marshmallow ROM?
If so, you could downgrade, but I would strongly recommend not using OTA updates on the stock marshmallow ROM if you downgrade, else you may hard brick your device. In most cases, you can't downgrade the bootloader in fastboot.
I'm not sure what you are asking for about recovery, can you elaborate?

You can even stay on nougat firmware, there's no need to downgrade as nougat is official released and available for all countries

Hi, newbie question here. I just got my Axon 7. Unlocked the bootloader. Installed TWRP. Made full nandroids of stock and rooted firmwares.
I would like to flash the new Nougat update. What would be the best way to accomplish this without losing TWRP? and what is the correct firmware to use? ota? Also can nougat be rooted? Just dont want to brick my new phone. Thanks
No TWRP flashable file yet.....but I'm sure it'll be soon.
You will need to be on the Nougat bootstack, but you'll have to search for that info.
Hi all,
Noobie questions sorry.
I have a xt1625 us retail version and I'm getting prompted to take the OTA nougat update.
However, I have unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed so it fails.
1) Is the stock nougat available as a zip?
2) Is my best option to relock bootloader and go back to stock recovery, in order to take the OTA?
3)Is there a stable custom rom that is preferable?
Thanks very much
update;
I reflashed the stock firmware using fastboot and the 16 ish commands needed.
After this I took the OTA update without issues.
You can re root your phone and reinstall twrp now.

Yes. bootloader remains unlocked, so I can root later.
for now I am satisfied, stock rom isn't too bloaty
Hi, i have a xt1621 non plus, i've unlocked for rooting Marshmallow, but now i have the Nougat Stock rom 25.93.14-4 via stock recovery. I've read in other threads that i need the latest stock rom for my device to re-lock the bootloader. I can't find the rom.
Now, when i downgrade to Marshmallow, the update to Nougat 25.93.14-14 appears, but is possible to re-lock with the OTA update?
Regards.

No, you need to flash the images via fastboot and then run the lock command. There are explicit instructions on this forum.

Thanks for the reply, I'll have to wait for the stock rom release. :good:
My Moto G4 came with Marshmallow installed and I performed an OTA update to Nougat. I then unlocked my bootloader and flashed some custom Nougat ROMs (7.1.2, so newer than the newest official available version). Now I want to get back to stock Nougat so I can relock the bootloader and all that jazz.
As far as I can tell, only Marshmallow firmware images are available so can I safely flash that (I'm thinking "ATHENE_MPJ24.139-23.4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.zip") and then OTA to Nougat from there or will that cause problems because I already (presumably) have the Nougat bootloader version? I don't want to brick my phone!
Note I'm using a retail United Kingdom XT1622 Moto G4.
Cheers all in advance,

Ah ha! Found this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...owngrade-nougat-to-marshmallow-t3487201/page5
Got back to stock Marshmallow all OK
flashing back to marshmallow and being able to relock the bootloader after doing the ota wont really work. best bet is to try and find the stock nougat image and flash it.
If i use twrp to flash device back from nougat to lollipop (stock), will be any chance in a future to install original updates (OTA?)
No!
How to do it? I have official Nougat. I've unlocked bootloader and installed twrp.
I've tried twrp, but can not find debloated flash rom. Some of guys are making downgrade with fastboot over youtube, but they downgrade back only previous version of android, for example from nougat to marshmallow, or from marchmallow to lollipop.

What will happen, if i try with fastboot way? Will I brick the phone?
