[Help]firmware version confusion for downgrading from N soak to MM stock. - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

i am using moto g4 plus indian version ( XT1643 ) want downgrade from N soak test ( NPJ25.75-2) to Stock MM , so that i can upgrade to latest official N build.
i searched various threads for the same but , all of them confused me on the firmware version for xt1643.
i am not sure which firmware version to flash as, flashing wrong firmware can lead to serious problems .
can someone please tell me what is the firmware version for xt1643.
like is it MPJ24.139-63 or MPJ24.139-16 or something else ( i just gave these examples for the sake of clarity of what i want to know)
thanks

139.63
Keep in mind that don't downgrade gpt and bootloader.

Looks like you need the Nougat NPJS25.93-14.4 firmware, as your software matches that of the March 2017 security build. Here's a fastboot stock ROM of that firmware https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 Nougat firmwares look to be flashable on Moto G4 and G4 Plus devices, so should flash onto your device. It's also the latest firmware we have access to currently.
Hopefully it'll repair your bootloader(though be careful when flashing your bootloader however.) What happened to your device and are you able to access your bootloader?

How to downgrade to stock from soak test oreo

So I installed Oreo soak test on Moto G5 plus which was shared by link over stock Nougat build with august security patch.But i want to go back to nougat with august security patch from this soak test build...How can i do that without bricking and losing imei etc.I have not rooted or unlocked bootlader ever...and yes i read some threads but none of them are matching my current situation ,so please guide me through proper process .
Well I'm in the same situation. And I was having wifi issues. Bt I managed to fix it. From what I've read so far you cannot downgrade the bootloader. So you can flash using fastboot bt leave out the gpt and bootloader commands. I'm not sure if this will let you download OTAs. I haven't tried it out yet. Or if u manage to get the C092 bootloader unlocked ( some people managed) then you install TWRP and flash a stock nougat zip. Or you will have to wait for someone to capture the actual 85-16 OTA , make a zip of it and then update. There was a guide for flashing, it was for g4 series to downgrade from N to MM, the commands should be the same. Hope this helps.
Can anyone share official oreo update zip?Not talking about soak test one.

Stock Oreo firmware (fastboot) needed for XT1686 (retin channel)

I need the stock Oreo firmware for Moto G5 Plus Indian variant (XT1686) to relock the bootloader.
I know that the Nougat stock firmwares were different for different variants of potter.
But I read from a post that this is not the case for stock Oreo firmware and it's same for all variants. Is it a fact?
If yes then I have no problem as there are links available for fastboot version of stock Oreo firmware.
But if no then please tell me where to download the specific one for XT1686.
Reply at your earliest convenience.
Model is not needed, original software channel (Country specific) is required.
So if you can give that info, someone can point you in the right direction.

I found it myself.
The link is : https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1zE8nSFXhMaBbj9oAmEnypBh7_nRyHg6x&export=download
This firmware can be used for any channel as starting from Oreo Moto doesn't create different firmwares for different channels.

U3/S3 Bootloader Update Version 3

Hey guys , hope you all are doing well. As we know the bootloader of S7 series has been updated to version 3 and we cannot easily downgrade ap back to nougat or earlier versions and bootloader version is permanently non downgradeable and we are stuck with oreo firmware with latest patch.. so whoever got updated to v3 bootloader, please post their issues and findings in this thread and were you successfully able to flash back to earlier bootloader incase of issues ? Also how does it effect root..

Moto G4 Amz Version

Hello, i would like to ask here if someone has the same issue, i had a fully working Moto G4 AMZ Version Running Nougat, however after waiting too much and the oreo version never was released, i wanted to try to flash the firmware and update it via rsd lite with oreo version, however this resulted in my phone bricked, i tried some ways to downgrade again to nougat however i was not able since it is not possible to downgrade to stock amz firmware once i had updated it with wrong version of 8.0, so may i ask if after maybe 1 year is there any advance or release for the 8.0 amz version firmware? i think the only solution for this is to send the device back to motorola, but i will ask first here any other ideas?
Thank you in Advance
Henser.
Use lenovo save and rescue to unbrick your phone.
I’ve tried installing stock moto G4 Android 8.1 and no luck. This is with boot loader unlocked, custom kernel and root. No luck.
same issue, i try from time to time to recover the device with no luck, still waiting for a solution with bootloader locked
