Downgrade from RETBR 6.0 to RETCA 5.1?

I was wondering if it's safe to downgrade from a rooted retbr (6.0) to retca (5.1) and then take the retca ota to 6.0? I am also using a XT1097.

You don't need to downgrade, there's already a full firmware of RETCA 6.0 for XT1097, that you can flash with fastboot:

Looking for 24.11.18.victara_retca.retca.en.ca recovery ROM

I seem to have lost my recovery image backup that I made before installing TWRP. I currently have 24.11.18.victara_retca.retca.en.ca installed on my phone, but can't get the most recent OTA because of this. I'm on WIND Mobile in Canada, though I don't know if there's any difference between that and standard retail.
Does anyone have a lead on the 24.11.18 stock recovery (or full ROM)?

Hi Gus (or anyone else who reads this),
Will this process reset my phone? I flashed the recovery ROM, as that's all I thought I needed, but now I think the "pre-flight checks" on the OTA are failing, i.e. some OS file on my device isn't correct. Is there a way to flash just the OS without resetting the whole device?
Cheers,
Eric

Did you flash stock recovery from the same firmware version that you already had on your phone?
In order to get OTA's, the OS must be pure stock; ALL files have to be stock. If you've never flashed 6.0 before, you will need to upgrade the Bootloader and Partition Table, which probably wipes all partitions.
Are you trying to preserve data/files/apps? I think you should back up your files before attempting anything.
The May 2016 patch is probably the last OTA this device will ever receive, that's why I'm running CM13, and soon we will get CM14 Nougat.
I don't think there's a way around it, if you want a pure factory stock device, you'll have to reset it (flash ALL the firmware files).

System status back to Official

I have tried to flash Stock rom and relock bootloader already but System Status still : Modified
Anyone can help me?

When I had a Moto G4 Plus, when I upgraded via OTA (from 6.0 to 7.0) the status changes, I do not know if the Moto X4 will do the same
How do you block the bootloader? can you teach me? I already want to block it and I can not without mentioning that at the beginning I get the message of this one and I have to press the power button to advance :/

You need official signed stock images to flash which have not been released by Lenovo. There's no return from unlocking the bootloader currently.

Hi! I have Moto X4 XT1900-7 4/64 (Europe)
I have downloaded Retail ROM version, and did everything like you describe for devices with unlocked bootloader. And I have a problem. During the start i see "Your device has loaded a different operating system. Visit this link on another device: motorola [dot] com [slash] unlockbootloader…". Then device starts, but I can't connect it to my laptop via USB (I have also tried with another PC). It's charging, but there is no notification to choose connection mode. In settings the option "USB Not connected" is grey. Do you have any ideas?

On 8.1 there's a bug in April Security Patch the USB only works with de lockscreen security disabled. See if the June update is available for you, then update, if not, go to developer's options and check the option OEM Unlocker then flash this:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot oem lock
if oem lock doesn't works change to: fastboot flashing lock or oem relock
Some phones only clears the massage after a update.

It works properly only via mfastboot for me, don't really know why. Before you answered I have boot-looped my device (with no possibility to run adb/fastboot commands, ya). But mfastboot helped me to boot 8.0 Retail ROM from the link you mentioned before and then to lock Moto X OEM.

Those are not signed or he wouldn't get that message. You can flash all the available copied payton ROMs all day manually to get the phone working.

Can I Upgrade my XT1805 to Oreo ?

My XT1805 is rooted and bootloader unlocked and stuck on NPSS26.116-61-5.
Is there any way to upgrade this to stock Oreo ?

I don't need Root so just want to do anything to get Oreo installed

Which stock firmware do I need to use for my XT1900-1 model X4?

I have a XT1900-1 that says "android one" on bootup and has the following in the system information FCC ID idht56wk1, software variant: google_fi, software channel:retus and I am trying to find out which firmware from here I need. I got the phone from Credo Mobile which uses the Sprint network if it makes a difference.

And to update when a new security update comes out I just remove "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin" and "fastboot erase userdata" lines from what you posted above before flashing it and then after the update is installed reinstall twrp and magisk, right? Since once twrp and magisk are installed OTA updates don't work.
