Shouldn't the OP be updated to reflect this? People are going to be messing up their phones by trying to root 7.1.1....considering you can't just flash the stock kernel back.
i'll fix thread title but
they can back to stock, here's the rom dump for fastboot : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=200666
and flashable rom for twrp : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120750943
I hope you are right, back when I messed up my stock none of the fastboot flashes would work because I had updated to a more recent version than all of them. Now that 7.1.1 is out, I was able to flash to it.
Thanks for the rom dumps and the zip @erfanoabdi. Unfortunately it seems that flashing it causes an invalid Wifi MAC address, so wifi does not work. (RETEU Moto Z)
I have tried flashing the new modem bin file posted in your other thread but it does not solve the problem.
For now I'm back to my original 7.0.0 backup from TWRP which is rooted with Magisk 13.3 (but otherwise stock) and I'm looking for a way to get to 7.1.1.

If you like, you can restore your Stock 7.0 by using RSD-lite 6.2.4 method, i mentioned some posts above. I did it several times in the last few days. For me it is the only safe and easy way to receive the 7.1.1 OTA for Reteu devices.
You may follow this guide (1.page)from the G4 forum:

Download RSD-lite tool from here:

Search & Download this Stock Rom to your pc:

If you follow the above guide (ignore the links and start with "With the help of the installation program: RSDLite6.2.4"), you will have unmodified 7.0 and will receive several OTAs including 7.1.1 in the end.
Good Luck

Yeah, same problem here too. Also, the 'ok google' detection doesn't work properly! Maybe the Android Mic fix module is needed but unfortunately, no module is getting installed. It just says -'magisk is not activated'. Any solution for this @erfanoabdi, thanks in advance.
Help with what variant is Rootable?
Considering upgrading to this device from my quirky aging Note 4.
Anyhow, I've encountered a bit of confusion surrounding the ability to Unlock the bootloader to allow proceeding via this thread OP.
Seems all I can find particular model info/listings via ebay/swappa, ect... were made for Verizon and that particular model is locked down (No surprise here).
I use Cricket Wireless as my carrier and like to buy my phones [BYOD] in mint or like new condition.
Thanks.:fingers-crossed:

My Moto Z was before with rooted nougat 7.0. In order to get the OTAs, I've flashed the original firmware and received all OTAs, and now my device is on stock, non rooted 7.1.1, with the stock recovery.
I'd like to install TWRP and Root it again, but I'm not finding secure information about how to do it. I'm not sure if this method, with this particular version of TWRP, and this kernel would do the job without bricking the device...
Anyone have a clue?

Just install TWRP via fastboot commands, then flash magisk and it's done.
This one: https://dl.twrp.me/griffin/
And use the fastboot install method here: https://twrp.me/devices/motorolamotoz2016.html#
And here is magisk: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445/page1

FAQ :
- Can I mount system as R/W? or swipe "allow system modification" in TWRP first screen?
Yes But just after Mounting, you need to flash TurboZ Kernel otherwise bootloop will happen - Can I update superSU in future?
Sure - any Side Effects?
Not Yet, Please test and tell me how's going on - Can I root This Installed Nougat? : https://xdaforums.com/moto-z/development/android-nougat-moto-z-versions-t3506342
Yes - What About OTA and New Updates ?
after flashing kernel you can't install(sideload) OTA's, so you have to back to stock and not rooted system, update then root again
ScreenShots :22If anyone asks why the kernel is necessary when mounting system as R/W.
This is because by default, dm-verity is enabled, and will prevent the phone from booting if it detects an unauthorized change in the system partition. Flashing the kernel will disable dm-verity, which makes it a must if you're going to be using the stock ROM but plan on making changes to the system via root access and whatnot.
If you're going to flash a custom ROM, many already come with their own kernel which disables dm-verity (and forced encryption), so flashing a custom kernel that disables it isn't needed if the ROM already has one (it most likely does). However, I do still recommend that you flash a custom kernel on the stock ROM anyway as it makes it less painful if you choose to go back to a stock ROM as you don't need to flash an entire factory image* just to make your phone work due to dm-verity being an ass. It also gives better performance, so it's quite a win-win.
* - You may be able to get around this by just flashing the boot image and then installing the kernel, but I have not tested this.2As of now, this still worked for me. From stock, I did all the OTA updates, then I followed the listed procedure and I found success!
It would be great if the first post included some instructions, like get android tools, find fastboot, use "fastboot flash recovery twrp..." etc. - flash my custom modded TWRP(with Battery Mod Support) : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=157130
