Software status - Modified and Bootloader status 2 means your device was unlocked, then reflashed with stock image and relocked, and you have not recieved an OTA yet (that will reset the software status to Official, only way we know how to do it). Note that Bootloader status can never go back to 0, it will always show 2 (relocked) or 3 (unlocked) once it has been unlocked initially.
The Sept security update seems to be a very limited release so far, be patient.
Is there a problem?

No, XT1572_CLARK_RETASIA_DS_6.0_MPHS24.49-18-4_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip is the current release, you just need to wait for an official OTA update. Sept 1, 2016, security update has started rolling out in Europe over the last 48 hours, expect it in the coming weeks in Asia as well.
Why the urgency to get to official status, it is purely cosmetic.

[Q] Nougat update is back again. Link for OTA shared

Hi guys,
I have received an OTA update for android nougat. I was rooted and have xposed framework. So I have flashed stock firmware so that system status is changed to Official. I have received OTA updates after flashing till January 2017 security patch. After this update, even if i manually check for update, it just says "Your device's software is up to date".
Not able to get OTA for nougat when everyone else in India are receiving it. I received update for the same device when I had root and Xposed. Please help. Currently I'm on stock firmware without root & xposed.
Update:
Received the OTA update again. sharing the link here. Just extracted it from /data partition. Its unmodified.
Nougat OTA Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6DJKZBTXr7MNGlmUmtmLVJ4aUk/view?usp=sharing

I think Motorola is restricting a device to download the update more than once for now, as everyone are trying to get the update. Let me know if you get the update again. Will do the same if I get it.

I have downloaded it once, but not able to find it in the cache partition. Then flashed stock firmware and no more update notification for Nougat. Even I'm wondering what really is happening.
Maybe Motorola might be pushing the update randomly. I see that many others are reporting the same issue at XDA. I hope we would get the update in a couple of days.

I got the 7.1.1.
What is the build number?

Seems you are using the right version of marshmallow.
What i did was:-
1. Downloaded the ROM from https://github.com/motoxplay/stock. Indian version 5.1.1 (XT1562).
2. Flashed it.
3. Now the ROM was automatically updated to 6.0.1 then 7.1.1.
Just try to download and flash the ROM from here. https://github.com/motoxplay/stock
after flashing 5.1.1 it said device up to date.not working now its Lollipop.
tell me when you got nougat update because after 4 oct 2017 didn't get notification of ota
Tried it few days back, didn't work!

I have already tried this method. Flashed Indian Official Lollipop firmware and it received OTA updates till Jan 2017 security patch. No more update after that! When did you receive the notification?
I think Motorola has rolled back the OTA due to battery drain and other issues few people reported. Fingers crossed!
when you got nougat update please provide date if you remember
4th Oct

May be they rolled back the update due to issues.
I got the update on 3rd October 2017.
I don't have any issues but yes Nougat battery is not as much effective than MM.
But its not draining like other people reporting.

Kindly select based on region.
Updates will come based on combination of country & IEMI number.
If you are not from India and flashed the Indian version then it don't update further.
So make sure while flashing the ROM.
After flash check, should have stock recovery and ROM than only you will get the same.
Guys! I have received the OTA update today again. Not sure where to capture the OTA. Last time I didn't find it in Cache partition. This time I was able to pull the OTA zip file from data partition. Will upload it this evening if anyone wants the OTA zip file.
yes
thanks

Yes, I have.
So there is no way to do it now?
You should be able to downgrade if your bootloader is unlocked.

I updated to latest security patch for January and unlocked bootloader and flashed to Oreo beta 2 no issues. Essential.com and do it step by step and should have no issues.

Well, I'd say restart your phone a couple times maybe, and then try and check for system update every now and again. I'm sure the update will come soon. It'll be an update of approx 1.8GB. OR, if you wanna flash and then get oreo, you have that method above ^.

Since I cannot do anything to this piece of s*** phone I got, Is there anyway to root it to get more of it or even try to fix that battery drain?
I'm on the latest Oreo (U) firmware with October security update and latest V8 bootloader.
