So with the help of @CodyF86 with his lovely twrp recovery I have had trouble flashing to the metro variant of this device so I found a firmware where I can flash it without messing up my modem and my LTE Metro Connection so this is for those who cannot boot up.
So first you will need to use Cody's guide on booting up twrp to along with fstab and all the other stuff on his guide before doing this.
After you did his guide now it's time for mine if you can't boot up properly and mind you the LTE works and wifi but I can't seem to find out why it feels a bit slow but anyway.
Step 1. Download this update and put it(unzip file) into your adb/fastboot folder on your computer. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kW-FAfXccQMBMX3DuGJ_p2r0moDiCYtR/view?usp=drivesdk
Step 2. Put your phone into fastboot mode
Step 3. Flash these in order
fastboot flash boot boot.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.3
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot reboot
After that's done follow Cody's guide again and make sure you do it step by step and flash ONLY MAGISK 16.7

Ok, i have unlocked bootloader, installed this rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/android-nougat-moto-z-versions-t3506342, added twrp via fastboot, rooted and so on.
Everything worked like a charm.
Than yesterday I got this update notification (from nplp 25.86-15 to nplp 25.86 -17-3; something about fixing notification sound - about 500mb). I thought what the hell lets try it - ended up in boot loop to recovery(twrp).
After that I installed this rom (odexed version) https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/twrp-ported-to-moto-z-eu-version-t3470920.
Again I tried the update since it restored stock recovery - it went into the process and than reported some error.
Now, no matter what rom I install(those 2 and I tried cm14) phone acts messed up, it freezes and reboots when using it randomly and always reboots when screen goes to sleep 4 about 10 seconds.
I have also tried to install mm rom via twrp but ended up in recovery loop.
Any help is highly appreciated..
You need to flash back full stock ROM for your device. Had same issue. But that's if you are downgradable to MM roms

I tried with cm but it's not helping.
Phone is stable so far after that initial self-reboot; I'll wait 4 couple hours and if it stays stable returning to n version because mm is too big of a downgrade.
If it continues rebooting, well I guess I'll just bang my head on the wall few times) cause I am out of ideas..

I have flashed nougat again after that and had one random reboot since. Don't like the fact that reboot happened but otherwise it feels stable and smooth.
Incomparable from what it was before-phone was unusable..
Ok now I have fully functional and stable Moto Z with rooted nougat (EU version).

Hello @tafarelli what versión bootloader have your ?? Very thanks
Downgrade the Nougat at Mm ?
Regards
I never upgraded to nougat through OTA but from fastbooting this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/android-nougat-moto-z-versions-t3506342
so I believe I still have mm bootloader.
If you have n bootloader than I guess(don't know) you will have to wait 4 stock nougat zip equivalent to (1) mm posted above..

It means when they put link for n factory image here

(or elshewhere)
than you download it and fastboot stock n rom to repair your (I presume) damaged device.

Hello my Moto z is in nougat but I was wondering if you had bootloader Nougat and could return to forgive MM if I made you believe that it was in brick my phone sorry for my English there is no image factory of the last version? NPL25.86-17-3 " I installed this by adb sideload but I like to install the whole image thanks

So I installed twrp so I could modify my build.prop file. Worked great but no I have the option to upgrade to android 7 which I would like to do.
From what I have read the process involves installing the old bootloader then installing the ota update and re-installing twrp.
Is this correct?
Is there an easier way to do the upgrade without losing every thing on the phone?
If I need to re-install the stock unlocked bootloader where do I find it?
I went to motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images to grab the proper stock firmware and flashed the phone. I tried to run the ota update but it failed. Any one have any idea why it would fail? I didn't run the following commands so perhaps it has some thing to do with that?
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
Ok so I got this working. The recovery image from motorola was not the one the ota update was looking for so I found the correct firmware version and ran the ota update and it worked. Here is some more info for those that follow.
I have the xt1625 model.
The firmware I used was from here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242687085
I used these commands. Ignore the error with the gpt.bin file.
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.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.3
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
You could probably skip those last two commands if you wanted to keep your data on the phone but I didnt do that so I cant say for sure.
Hi guys, I've tried all the threads so far and have got no where. I unlocked my device and flashed a custom rom, that worked fine. I then noticed no way to go back to stock so I tried the odexed version with no luck. Now any rom I flash does not boot, just loops back to twrp. I would like to get as close to stock as possible even if it's another region. Has anyone had any luck on getting their phones booting after this?
I've tried flashing stock firmware from 6.0.1 then flashing ota through side load
Flashing other countries firmware (which always ends in fail messages)
I've tried multiple rom from the forum which just loop.
I've spent about 6 hours trying different combinations of recovery, boot and other images with no luck.
Any help is appreciated.

I have gotten stuck with bootloops a couple times now, for me re-flashing a backup or custom rom or custom kernel didn't fix it either. Keep in mind that you cannot go back to 6.0.1 once you have flashed 7.0, the bootloader won't allow it. I have had to flash back to a stock firmware from https:// firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20Z/Stock/XT1650-03/ (remove the space after https:// ) and re-fastboot flash TWRP, re-root, and restore my Titanium Backups to get going again.
It's extremely helpful if you create a servicefile.bat to flash all the firmware parts in the right order. This is the one I made for flashing the RETMX 7.0 image (the main difference I noticed between different firmwares from that link is the number of sparsechunks, so add or delete lines as necessary. I'm sure all this info is available elsewhere, but I didn't manage to find it all in one shot. So I figured I would post it to help others out that are in the same boat. Also note that even though you are re-flashing the bootloader.img it does not re-lock your bootloader.
Code:
echo off
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

pause

exit
Copy the above text and paste it into a new text file and change the name to "servicefile.bat" without quotes (not servicefile.bat.txt), and drop it in with the extracted firmware files. Then either copy-paste your adb and fastboot files into that folder or drop all that folder's contents into your Users/*YOURNAME*/App Data/Local/Android/sdk/platform-tools/ folder. Or better yet, add "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools" to your Path in your system's Environment Variables. The latter will make adb and fastboot work from any command prompt window, then you can just press shift+right-click in the folder that already has the firmware files and choose "Open command window here" and then just type servicefile.bat and press enter. Hope this helps! Good Luck and Happy Flashing!

Don't worry about the signed image. Try the locking command twice back to back. Hope this helps
Hi. I've noticed that after this last time I did a stock factory reflash using fastboot, every time I try to install LOS to the phone, Three google apps are left behind on the home screen. So did a factory recovery again, with the motorola recovery assistant. The apps were still there.
each time, booted TWRP, formatted data, then reboot into TWRP, then clear dalvik, system, data before trying to install LOS. The gapps fragments still showed up. What is known is that the play store and play services are not left behind, only the apps themselves remain., so they don't actually work, they just complain that play services is not present and exit.
Searched around on the internet but didn't really see a solution. so I came up with my own. I'm posting it here to get some feedback, and to maybe see if someone has a better way, because just flashing the stock rom was not solving this problem.
All steps in this walk through were done with adb fastboot and TWRP recovery.
##Make sure both of the above tools AND the USB drivers definitely work on your PC and device before doing this, you will be intentionally bricking your phone! I am not responsible for your device if you try this!##
Stuff you need:
a) The blankflash .zip from this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/motorola-one/development/blankflash-motorola-one-t4097391
b) The factory rom .zip for the baseband version currently running on your deen from lolinet.
c) The 8.1.0 rom .zip for your deen from lolinet.
d) LineageOS or other non-gapps rom of your choice. I used the one from this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/motorola-one/development/rom-lineage-17-1-motorola-one-t4131339
All Motorola One firmwares are here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/deen/official/
DO NOT UNPLUG THE PHONE WHILE DOING THIS. I don't know what will happen if you do.
Steps I did:
0) Unzip both of the roms and the blankflash into their own folders on the PC. Put LOS on your sdcard.
1) Reflash phone to factory stock. Do the initial set up and activate usb debugging in developer tools.
2) Reboot the phone into bootloader mode.
3) Flash the 8.1.0 rom. The phone will brick. It should brick to the blinking LED, but if it just bricks with no LED the PC should still pick it up and initialize the blankflash driver, as long as the usb drivers were installed correctly.
4) Flash the blankflash to get it back into bootloader.
5) Use these commands to flash only the BL, baseband, modem and stub partition from the factory stock flash .zip you downloaded from step b) above to your phone:
Code:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem_a NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash modem_b NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg_a fsg.mbn
fastboot flash fsg_b fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash dsp_a adspso.bin
fastboot flash dsp_b adspso.bin
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
fastboot flash system_a system_other.img
fastboot flash system_b system_other.img
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot set_active b
fastboot reboot bootloader
6) boot into TWRP, wipe/format data. Type yes to confirm.
7) Reboot to bootloader
8) Boot to TWRP again
8) Wipe/advance wipe/system-data-dalvik ONLY
9) Install LOS from your sd card.
10) After LOS install, boot to bootloader
11) Getvar all, if active slot is not a, set it to a
12) Boot LOS.
Thoughts? Is there a better way to do this??
(edited to clarify the steps)
