[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] doomed151:
That is very likely SuperSU's fault and with the latest version you can root soak test with it. Manufacturers are in no way obligated to ensure that publicly available rooting methods work on their firmware. If it turns out that Lenovo is actually blocking root on purpose, then I don't know what else to say other than "f you Lenovo".
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Sardus87:
Is working perfectly on XT1642, thank you!
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jeash:
Just realized that the latest SuperSu is dated Nov-30. I have already flashed this and had no luck. I'll wait for the next update from Chainfire before I flash SuperSu again

Abou nougat security and root ( found in a website)

When Nougat boots, it checks to see if anything in the system partition has been tampered with. Google calls this Verified Boot and it's something they also use on Chromebooks and OnHub routers. We also knew it was coming, along with a handful of other big changes on the security front. The short version of how it works — the system partitions (this is tied in tightly with Seamless Updates and Direct Boot) are verified and given a hash file. Any changes to the partition will change the crypto hash. When you boot the phone up, this hash is checked against the known "right" value, and if they don't match your phone won't boot. The public crypto key is stored on the boot partition and when the people who made your phone want to update (which changes the hash file) they have to verify things with their own private key to change the software. This will create a new hash file and the phone can boot. These changes also include the ramdisk (which is where systemless root worked) so modifying it is out of the picture, too. And yes, this is the short version.

Fastboot for life

What this means is new hardware designed for Android 7.0 isn't going to boot if we try to change any files to give us root. If we change even one bit on either system partition or the ramdisk it will fail the verified boot check. There are no known root methods that will ever work with this system. Period. Very smart people will try, and if somehow they find a way Google will patch it within 30 days. And this is not an accident.

Google is always trying to beef up the security in Android. They do a pretty good job and Android, as it comes directly from the source code, is really secure. But since anyone can change any of it to their liking, much of that gets undone. One of the things this change does is fix things so that no matter what you download or what it tries to do, if it tries to inject anything that gives it elevated permissions your phone won't start up. I love that idea, and you should, too.

Every phone that's sold should be damn near impossible to root without custom firmware.

This means that those drive-by root exploits — both the intentional ones as well as the malware ones — all stop working if the people who made your phone update it to 7.0 or you buy a new one with Nougat installed. That means everyone who just bought their phone to chat with friends, pay for stuff at Walgreens, or even clash against other clans or catch 'em all have a lot less to worry about. The factory software (and this is the important part) is secure.

The rest of us who like to root and do "stuff" can't do it while running the factory software, but we can still do it. With a new boot image, things can be altered so we can do whatever we want to do. Everything needed to create the Android boot image is open source and builds with no changes and little effort.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] halifage:
Did you manage to root?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SoNic67:
Exactly my point. If the manufacturer (Lenovo) won't meet my needs (root on the original firmware), I will take my money somewhere else that does. If nobody in Android world will not have anymore root, I will switch to Apple, just in spite of that.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] halifage:
Thanks for these generous explanations. makes a lot of sense now
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jeash:

Using xt1643 with soak update from november,which I did manually,so can I get the latest update through normal system updates?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] kosmasgr:
Maybe yes , maybe not ;) be patient until official firmware rolled out globally.

Soak firmware was officially signed , so in my opinion soak users will get official ota update [emoji1]
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Iqbal Ansari:
No.

You have to unlock bootloader to install latest N.

As soak testers got further two updates which we didn't.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] SoNic67:
No, it is not. Official means that announcement it needs to come from Lenovo, via their official channels.

Will installing the Nougat OTA capture void my warranty and will I recieve further OTA updates?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jeash:
Installing OTA wouldn't void your warranty. However unlocking your Bootloader will.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] chottu109:
I have some doubt, pls feel free to help me.

1. Do we get OTA updates after unlocking bootloader (no changes in recovery, system and all), and are we able to install it as normal OTA if we get one.

2. If its possible, then can i stay in mm after downgrading from soak nougat first blur version, untill i recieve official nougat from the company directly and flash it as normal.

Thanks in advance.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] joumd:
Believe who you want.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jeash:
I would say Yes and Yes. I have an unlocked bootloader, but still got the Nougat OTA.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] chottu109:
So staying in mm would be better right, because if this is not again the official N again we have to downgrade to marshmallow to flash any other soak came in the meantime.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jeash:
I think, and it's purely personal view, that if you stay stock on Soak, there is no reason why you wouldn't get the official OTA.

Worst case, you have XDA. I am sure someone would capture the OTA that we can all flash :D
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] chottu109:
Thanks bro, im now on soak, but now thinking to revert back to mm, and wait for official ota and install as normal, as i can't do data formatting every now and then, coz a ltl busy nowadays haha :victory:

First Soak: 75-2 (Leaked)

Second Soak: 93-2

Third Soak: 93-9

Fourth soak/Official: 93-11 (Leaked)
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jyoti.id:
Which one is this(In Screenshot)
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Iqbal Ansari:
Fourth one.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jyoti.id:
Do know where i can find the 2nd & the 3rd one serially? Because i can see almost all the threads has only one build mentioned there! & In 2 threads there is same buuld but with different size(which already mentioned by someone before).
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Iqbal Ansari:
2nd and 3rd have never been leaked.

If you are on first one you need to unlock bootloader and downgrade to MM to update to fourth one.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jyoti.id:
Ok. So u mean the 4th one have all the fix/patches which the 2nd & 3rd one have? (Asking only if you feel so) & We dont need the 1st build also to flash the 4th one!?

Im on the 1st Soak, so if i downgrade to MM doesn't it check the bootloader while upgrading?

& If i flash it directly on 1st Soak, will there be any error?

& What you feel about the different file size of same build?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Iqbal Ansari:
Yes the fourth have all the fixes and patches till now.

No You cant flash fourth one on first soak. And you dont need to flash it.

If you flash on first soak it wont flash. It verify latest MM before flashing.

People who were on third soak got a update of 104 MB to fourth one and people who were on MM got a update of 733 MB to fourth one.
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] jyoti.id:
Ok Thanx. Last question: what about the different build size?
[Moto G4 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Iqbal Ansari:
Between first and fourth?

Dont know, maybe they removed unnecessary stuff.

I have used both and the major difference is battery life and smoothness. (Fourth one has great battery life)

Because they sometimes push out carrier specific soaks to the wrong phones. When I was soak testing 6.0 on my Moto G3 they pushed out a T-Mobile rom to me and I didn't have T-Mobile. They had to push out a special OTA to get my phone off it. It still worked, it just had extra bloat.
