Don't be afraid. It should work on multiple versions of our phone. The official update for the July security patch was also a 'US' version, legitimate for all retail phones.
And yes, possibly it is an (official) soak test. It won't harm you! It will only remove you from the official upgrade path. But most things here on XDA are 'unofficial'. So what. Once an official update is out, it will be sorted out here within a day, I presume!

Motorola and an article on Android Police (http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/10/22/psa-android-7-0-nougat-not-officially-moto-g4-g4-plus/) clearly indicate the Nougat software is a soak test and not an official update. Additionally, some of the fastboot steps listed above will erase your userdata and you don't want that. I'm waiting for the official release. "Buyer beware."

Of course you should erase user data. You're installing a new rom! Make a backup of your apps, using Titanium Backup, wipe everything and Install Nougat. Root your Nougat and then reinstall all apps again using Titanium Backup. That way you'll have the best performance and battery backup!!

To each his own. Fastboot allows the easiest method of upgrading without having to reinstall everything. Assumption is staying with OEM rather than flashing different custom roms as most direct resetting to factory.

This is not "official" and not "Indian" rom, don't get fooled. It is the older SOAK Android N update for US phones from this thread:

[UNBRICK][INDIAN RETAIL 1572] [6.0] [ROOT] How to perfect unbrick Indian Moto X Style

Latest Android 6.0 Build No. MPSH24.49.18-4 for Moto X Style​
Scenario:
While experimenting various stock roms for my Indian Version Moto X Style 1572, I flashed 1575 on my phone. Network did not work. But without trying to fix all the issues , I stepped back and flashed back to Indian Retail Version of Stock Rom XT1572_CLARK_RETASIA_DS_6.0_MPH24.49-18_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip from this page. Everything worked but my Bluetooth stopped working. Then tried almost all custom roms and even cyanogen but BT never worked.
So now I was left for few days with BlueTooth issues in phone. Then after taking hints from various threads I managed to unbrick my phone to get latest stock build and May 2016 Android Secutity Patch Level
In short this guide unbricks Indian Moto X Style perfectly to resolve BlueTooth issues / IMEI Loss / other network related issues by flashing latest stock to Android 6.0
Advantages:
1) An important thing to remember, that above Indian stock rom, you will get Android Security Patch Level dated 1-February-2016. But I with files linked by me in this guide (Brazil Rom) so you will get Android Security Patch dated 1-May-2016 with more security
2) The rom is 3 months latest than Indian Stock and build is MPSH24.49.18-4.
3) Initial free space of usable internal memory is upto 75% out of 10GB, which is much higher than Indian Stock which gives only 50% usable space.
Resolution:
Taking idea from this EU (European) Single Sim version I decided to try BRAZIL's latest Dual Sim stock rom and then flash modem+baseband, and VOILA!! Everything Worked perfectly! No network and bluetooth issue anymore.
UNBRICKING STEPS:
So I thought to put these steps here following easy steps.
1) Download BRAZIL's latest official Dual Sim MM 6.0 firmware - MPHS 24.49-18-4 - RETLA-DS-Brazil (May) from here. Extract all files from rar file into new folder on desktop of pc.
2) Also Download Indian Baseband or Modem file called fsg.mbn (DOWNLOAD and extract "fsg.mbn" file in above new folder on your desktop by replacing over brazillian version of fsg.mbn
3) Start phone in Bootloader Mode (power off phone. Then press VolumeDown Key and Power Key both together to start phone in bootloader mode)
and then connect phone to pc with usb cable.
4) Now open command prompt windows on your pc and from the new folder, execute batch file named "Instalador.bat" at command prompt. Wait until all commands are executed which flashes all partition image files one by one. Press any key when prompted on screen to go ahead and wait until it finishes. When done phone will automatically restart. Now you can disconnect USB cable from phone.
Phone will start normally but WITH FULL NETWORK, Wifi and BLUETOOTH all working just fine.
5) Optional (rooting): First enable debugging mode in Settings >> Developer Mode. Restart phone in bootloader mode and connect to pc and from windows command prompt execute following commands to flash latest TWRP recovery file. (DOWNLOAD TWRP).
mfastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-clark.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now start phone in TWRP RECOVERY mode and flash SuperSU flashable zip (DOWNLOAD)
You are done! Network will start showing properly and strongly in both sims Bluetooth also works fine as it should work.
===================================
*Note: 5th step is optional if you do not want to ROOT your phone.
THANKS TO
1) Luiz Augusto Cisneiros Christofoletti from facebook for exact Brazil Stock Link and European unbrick thread.

No! You will not get OTA automatically but you can still flash new one manually over this rom. No need to worry when everything is possible with xda
In any case if you are rooting phone with last step then you will not get ota.
Can u post the process to flash the 6.0.1 build for the Moto X Style Indian Version. It is much more fast and stable than 6.0. It has already been provided for Moto X Pure so would I be able to flash it by changing modem ,if yes then please show the process, becasue no ROM has the stability which stock has and I didnt take the backup the day I rooted the phone.

Downgrading only boot and system caused messed up fingerprint. Used all commands except bootloader provided in other thread for downgrade and now everything's good.
I see that the bootloader is not being downgraded. Doesn't that mean OTAs might still brick your device?
Bootloader was not upgraded in N. And you won't be able to downgrade your bootloader once updated.
Update : Seems I am wrong about bootloader. rpm and sbl1 have been upgraded. Those are bootloader files.

So are you saying that the bootloader was updated and if we do the OTA we might brick our phone?
I am not sure. Guys who got the soak test notification also have their bootloaders upgraded. They were officially handed out the soak test builds by lenovo. So they will have the same issues as those who flashed it manually, if at all there are issues.
I am not sure how this is gonna play out. If someone who is running the 139-63 build who has not upgraded to the N build can pull out the two files, we could compare them.
My point is that users who officially got the soak test builds via OTA and users who flashed them manually have the phone in the same state as of now. So if the guy who flashed it manually is gonna have issues when official N drops, then the same issue will be faced by the guys who got it via OTA.

The point about bricks is regarding downgrade. In previous phones, downgrading from L to K, but keeping the L bootloader and then getting official L OTA would brick phone. Motorola has never supported downgrade on any phone. So if you downgrade, and later take OTA you could brick. Especially if running M with N bootloader.
The whole title of this thread is wrong - no way can anyone 100% guarantee no future brick.

Taking OTA to official N from soak test N is not an issue, the issue arises when someone took the N soak test, downgrade to M, OTA to official N.
tl;dr if i'm not wrong:
M -> Official N = No brick
M -> Soak test N -> Official N = No brick
Soak test N -> Downgrade to M -> OTA to official N = Brick
When you downgrade from N to M, you are only changing the system/modem/oem partitons.
Official OTA will probably upgrade bootloader/system/modem/oem/gpt/tz partitions. There is a catch here. People for whom the soak test was released are on a different bootloader than the general public which means they can't patch the bootloader or check for a specific one. They just have to upgrade it without any checks.
My question is how you will brick the device when you won't be able to downgrade the bootloader?
But as someone said, nothing in life is certain.

You can say what you want but go read the G And X2 communities. EVERY user that updated to M then rolled back to L and later took an OTA back to M bricked. The OTA doesn't take into a count that the bootloader was a newer version - I don't remember the mechanics, but the OTA expected a different version of the bootloader.
Search XDA or the Internet for "Blank flash files" . The problem is downgrade related. If you take any upgrade, be prepared to stay on it. Do NOT downgrade.
Well, it may be true. I don't just blindly flash files on my device. I go thru the zip file to see what files are patched to make sure that I don't get into trouble. That need not be the case with all users.
Let's wait for the official OTA to be released and then we'll see how it goes.

ok guys ive just done some testing and ive found that whilst on official android 6.0 my bootloader version was (moto-msm8952-b0.0e) (sha-4986429) with the date 2016-04-13
then after upgrading to 7.0 soak test the bootloader version changed to (moto-msm8952-b1.00) with the date 2016-06-24
so after i then did the downgrade back to 6.0 marshamallow and the bootloader version downgraded back to its original (moto-msm8952-b0.0e) (sha-4986429) with the date 2016-04-13 so moral of the story is the bootloader does infact downgrade too and doesnt stay with the new android 7.0 bootloader like many seem to claim on this thread if u guys want to try this for yourself run this command to get your bootloader versions before update and after u updateto 7.0 & then 1 last time when u downgrade to 6.0 u will need to run the below command via adb fastboot
fastboot getvar version-bootloader
The problem with X2 and G was a mismatch between partition table version and bootloader. If you can't downgrade gpt.bin, then you may be facing a brick with OTA. Keep in mind that this is just one possible path to brickdom. The Motorola update assumes certain things, and we don't know what may change in the future. I think there is a reason that Moto says they don't support downgrades: they are not going to check for modifications and any mismatch may cause problems.
If you downgrade, then don't take an OTA, it is that simple.

Anyone tried to flash SuperSU v2.79, the latest version of SuperSU? It supports even Android 7.1. My bootloader is locked and I don't want to void my warranty just yet, as Nougat can't be rooted as of now.

Means, as of now, there is no way to root Official Nougat,
That's correct!! :/
Not even SR5 seems to work. Causes bootloops.

Thank you very much. Dropbox is currently making the image unavailable (error 429, generating too much traffic). would be possible to generate a mirror?
And another question, does the image include the updated modem? I ask because TWRP does (or did?) not backup modem image. For others devices it does, but did not see the option for this one. If it still does not it would generate issues, an alternative would be to flash modem through fastboot. I did that with success in order to use 7.1.1 sensors (fingerprint, rotation and all the [email protected] vendors keep pushing to modem partitions instead of using system, as they should). Doing that I successfully migrated coming from MM directly (avoiding to flash stock nougat soak and then 7.1.1 custom ROM)
I will wait to be able to download the image and provide feedback about modem ASAP.

No it doesn't have the Modem Or bootloader
This is Mainly for people who have updated to OTA NPJ25.9-14 and installed a custom ROM and want to come back to stock as there is no fastboot method for this firmware yet and fastboot does not allow downgrading

Yes you can restore the backup but it doesn't have the Modem Or bootloader
This is Mainly for people who have updated to OTA NPJ25.9-14 and installed a custom ROM and want to come back to stock and have not taken a TWRP backup what you need is a proper upgrade.
Follow this Method

[Test Version only] 7.1.1 NOUGAT update for moto x play

Moderator Edit:
Anyone wishing to try this needs to be aware that it is potentially unstable and a non-released version.
Those who guys eager to update their moto x play and taste the latest version.
And waiting is over
Here is the link.
Moto X Play Nougat Update Download: The Nougat 7.1.1 update has been made available for Moto X Play and now you can manually download and update the same on the device. Ever since Moto’s announcement for the Nougat update on Moto X Play, people have been waiting to grab the OTA. But the OTA prompt is not yet made available for every user and it takes a while to complete the latest firmware rollout.
Moto X Play has released in India two years ago with Android Lollipop (5.0) pre-installed and the manufacturer had confirmed that it would get the latest Nougat 7.1 update without much delay. But the surprising fact is that Moto X Play didn’t receive an incremental update to Marshmallow firmware. Which means, straight from the Lollipop version, you can update your Moto X Play to latest Nougat 7.1.1 firmware.
Nougat update for Moto X Play in India has become a trending keyword nowadays after Moto’s official announcement (Moto X Play Nougat update India release date) and I’ve been getting numerous messages regarding the same. So let’s see how to manually update Moto X Play to Nougat 7.1.1 firmware.
Moto X Play 7.1.1 Update: Pre-requisites
Check whether you have received the update via OTA from the System Updates option. If not, proceed further.
Download and install Moto X Play USB drivers on your PC. [Check the below download section]
Similarly, make sure you have installed necessary ADB & Fastboot drivers. If not, download from below.
Make a full backup of your phone’s internal memory and calls/message logs. It gets wiped.
Maintain a decent battery juice on your X Play.
Install by these commands
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B2fcCTfy55gEWnBRZFp2dlZ3c1k&export=download
Sorry for my poor english.
Special Note
You cannot downgrade the device once it’s upgraded to the Nougat firmware unless the bootloader is unlocked.
The root access will be lost upon performing the firmware update.
The bootloader status doesn’t change, however.
The data may be wiped and cannot be recovered easily. So I strongly advise you take a full backup.
Now you have successfully updated Moto X Play to Nougat 7.1.1 firmware using the official fastboot image. Flashing the official firmware doesn’t void the warranty, but an incorrect execution of the command may brick your device. So proper care should be taken.
Thanks
Please press thanks button if I helped
Is it for asia country?

Yes man its for Asia only...
Retail Asia dual sim
you did forget to say that it is the pre soak test build, not the latest one, dude
Sorry dude ....I am eager post the link for people who are long awaiting.. Anyhow please test it.
any bug ???
as far as i have heard, its very buggy and have even caused boot loop
Oh that's really bad.
I didn't test it yet.whenever I install will write down pros n cons.
I hope this thread will help people understand why Motorola/Lenovo bans users who upload private builds.
Nowhere in the first post it is mentioned that it is NOT an official build. And "please test it" is totally what's NOT recommended.
PS: Guys, with each version, Android uses more RAM and battery. Don't be that impatient.

This is soak test firmware, beta version at best, not meant to be used outside official testers community. It won't pass SafetyNet for those reasons.
OP, where did you get this official Nougat rom? This is the real deal, not soak test version right?
