Before I knew there was a retus package for NPNS25.137-93-14 posted here on XDA, I installed the update to NPNS25.137-93-18, and now the packages obviously won't work. Is there a chance that an updated package will be made for retus that supports the new update or will I have to dreadfully wait for the official Moto OTA?

So I cannot find an update for the Moto g4. The software update says it is fully up to date even though it is running Android 6.1.1 when 7.0 is out.
If any info is needed, ask me.
I'm guessing you mean v6.0.1 MM (NPJ24-139.64/65 I think is the latest MM for XT1625 and XT1644 devices)?
If you wanted to, you could flash the fastboot stock ROM for NPJS25.93-14.4 which is the latest update available (v7.0, March 2017 security update):https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 As always, be aware that the update may affect your data (as with any flash to system), back up accordingly.

Are you sure this is for XT1625? It looks like it is for XT1641 and 1645.

It should work, as the NPJS25.93-14.4 build is based on the NPJ25.93-14 (Dec 2016 security patch) build, just updated with the March 2017 security update.
If you wish to be more certain, you can flash the aforementioned NPJ25.93-14 update via the fastboot ROM (from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369) which has XT1625 users reporting it flashes, and then wait for the OTA for the March 2017 security patch (which recent indications suggest it's been deployed in the US), or you could sideload the OTA (after flashing the Nougat 93-14 update) by downloading from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/official-moto-g4-plus-ota-update-build-t3584982
Hopefully, by flashing the Nougat update, OTA updates will arrive again via the retail USA software channel.
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.

Hey guys,
I've been on nougat soak test since it's release back in 2016 and decided to downgrade to Marshmallow today. I am now on MPJ24.139-48 (6.0.1) and when I search for updates my device tells me that it's already up to date.
Is it normal? How can I get the lastest official firmware?
Sorry if my english isn't the best, it isn't my native language.
Thanks in advance.
Hmm, that build should be updating to MPJ24.139-63/64 and then updating to Nougat.
However, as you've downgraded, it's not necessarily a good idea to use OTA updates. To be safe, you could look into flashing the NPJS25.93-14-13 v7.0 Nougat stock Dec 2017 stock firmware here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
What software channel is your device? This firmware has been deployed to Indian, Brazil, EU and UK devices as far as I've seen, and if you're in those territories you should expect to receive OTA updates. Whilst you may be okay with flashing this firmware on other countries' device variants, you may not receive OTA updates.
On a retGB (UK) XT1642 device, this NPJS25.93-14-13 firmware is running well though.

Hi and thank you for your answer. I am from France, I don't really mind not having OTA's if I can flash updates. It is juste that I have been away from xda for more than a year so I'm a bit lost with all the firmwares around. OTA just feels easier.
Will try this firmware tho.
I was on Oreo 85.13 pre-release...then I unlocked bootloader...and installed pixel experience...but meanwhile I formatted all data which ihave backed up..then I installed twrp flashable with June security patch zip..and I was on Android 7..then I flashed pixel experience..now..if I want to back on Oreo stock and to lock bootloader..what should I have To do...???I heard somewhere you need stock Oreo ROM zip where I can find one...???is that same one which we have used in manually updating to Oreo... please reply...
As far as I know the only stock Oreo zip we have is the OTA, which can't be used to flash firmware. We need the full firmware file before we're able to flash stock ROMs via fastboot.
Anyway, I'm also curious if there are any differences for the unlocking/flashing/backup process starting at the official Oreo we have now, and if going back to it later is the same as it is with Nougat.
The stock US OTA update can be found here: https://technoplanners.blogspot.com...tock-update-for-moto-g5-plus-OPS28.85-13.html
This can be side-loaded to upgrade after you've flashed Nougat with one caveat. Nougat has to be at Build number NPNS25.137-92. If your Nougat ROM has the June security patches (Build number NPNS25.137-93) you'll be SOL since the manifest specifies the pre-req for the update. So the fools at Motorola released the June update for Nougat, then released Oreo at the same security patch level and won't let you apply the update. Real geniuses.

That's not quite correct; the build required for this Oreo OTA that's currently around is NPNS25.137-92-14 (June 2018 security patch for Brazil and Indian devices). The NPNS25.137-93-14 patch you mentioned is the June 2018 patch for EU, US and Asian devices, which means the Oreo patch for those devices isn't around yet.
To the opening poster, as previously mentioned, you will have to wait for the OPS28.85-13 stock fastboot ROM to be leaked. You must lock with a stock firmware as new or newer than your current bootloader. You cannot downgrade bootloaders via fastboot anyway and it's really not recommended to downgrade.
The US patch is available (Blur_Version.28.51.16.potter.retail.en.US.zip). It can be downloaded from the link I provided.
Correction: My bad. Didn't realize "92" indicated India and "93" indicated US. Evidently the referenced download is labeled wrong
Last year i have installed beta version of android 8.1 on my moto g4 plus from an unknown source i think so its a brazil beta version leaked online. Now i want it to shift to stable version of android but i havnt recieved ota update over that beta version. Is there any way to instal stable version iver beta version.
If you flashed the leaked soak test, it is highly unlikely you would have recieved the corresponding OTA updates unless you were a member of the soak test program. Furthermore, it looked like an OTA update was missed, so anyone trying to update via OTA updates would have been stuck. The easiest way to update is to flash the full stock Oreo firmware: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
If you wish to keep your data, do not use the fastboot erase userdata command.
