ok then i will post the link to ur thread

it runs smooth. i see that the stanby drain battery is gone. sometimes it froozes,but i don t know if is mine or for everyone.
let me know in the coments if u have the same issue.

It could be nice if you put the md5 of the ota just to check that it was downloaded correctly

I have problems with flashing recovery by mfastboot, using fastboot instead.

Tnks for the OTA, i will install it but if someone can capture the "Retail" ota it will be better

There is a way to re-lock the bootloader without any trace of locked in past, to not lose the warranty?

Root and twrp needed

Seeing as the moto g 3rd gen was rooted in a week after release I was wondering if we could expect the same for this fantastic device? Cm12.1 would complete this phone for me!!

It'll come in time. It might take a bit longer as this phone isn't quite as readily available everywhere (such as in the US).

Just Go to settings enable developer options, Enable usb debugging , enable oem unlock <<<< remember to enable all these before going to unlock bootloader!
Just go to motorola bootloader site and follow the instructions!

Do you know what model your friend has? (xt1607- unlocked version or xt1609- Verizon model) If he has the xt1607 unlocked version then he may be doing something wrong in the process. If he has the xt1609 Verizon model then this method will not work on it because at the moment it is not rootable or bootloader unlockable.

Bootloader re lock?

How can i re lock the Bootloader?

You will have to reflash stock firmware. That does an OEM lock which restores it to what it was like when it came packaged.

Did you realized that there's a "Guides" section within this forum? There you find guides, like this one for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-newbie-resource-thread-t3386584

But, i think if once we have updated to soak test android 7. Then we cannot relock bootloader by going down to mm? If we can then how?

There's only one correct way to unlock the bootloader, with the unlock code sent by Motorola.

This is about flashing stock, below you'll find flashing TWRP and Magisk i.e rooting. Links for TWRP, ADB and Fastboot and Magisk are included.
I'm about to make an own thread for this and expand it with things like unlocking, decrypting etc .

You don't have to flash stock (that part of the tutorial was written for another user).
After unlocking the bootloader your device will be wiped and if your build number is OPSS28.85-17-6 you should actually receive one more OTA up to OPSS28.85-17-6-2 (Feb 2019 security patch).
After unlocking and maybe getting that update you can flash the latest TWRP as usual and root by flashing magisk.zip from there.
