Hi my device Moto G4 plus XT1643 is :
Android version 7.0
Build Number : NPJ25.93-14
Security Patch : 1 December 2016
Rooted.
Can someone help me find all the OTA update captures after the December patch OTA.
Also a way to flash them without unrooting my phone, FlashFire almost never works for me , maybe some flashing with rsd?
I rooted my phone with this method and with ElementalX kernel : https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-how-root-nougat-moto-g4-plus-t3484672
Thank You in advance and apologies for my naivety.

You can't flash an original ota update with a custom kernel and recovery. You need stock recovery, otherwise it's not possible. Therefore you will loose root.
The easiest way is to flash the whole stock rom with June security patch and install ex kernel and twrp again.

That's it.
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.
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.

I am planning on to unlock bootloader only will I continue recieving official updates from Samsung and able to install them (not flashing that, OTA ones). I am not going to install custom recovery or kernel or even custom rom. Will it work that way?
Hi xda members. I recently bought Mediapad M3 device BTV-DL09C209B312. ((I wanted to unlock my bootloader on ministryofsolution website for $4. the problem is, it can only be unlocked if the device were on july 2018 security patch or below. My current security patch is on november. My question is, is there any reliable tutorial to downgrade this device and unlocked it? I am afraid of bricking the device and i am not really familiar with huawei)) Please tell me step by step and what to do and what not before/after unlocking the device. Such as, do we need to save efs backup, imei, keys, oem info, any other important partition or something like that as long as it is important for huawei user. Thank you. I really need someone to guide me. Your help is really appreciated.
Edit: Skip the part for downgrading with bracket(()). Actually the unlock is supported and i misread the part where "EMUI 8 with july 2018 security patch above are not supported"

A word of caution - if you use really old builds like this, do not upgrade to Oreo. Upgrade to the latest versions of Nougat first, then Oreo. Failure to do that will result in a loss of touch screen.
