[OTA][SOAK TEST] Android 7.1.1 for Moto G Play (XT1603)

[EmersonTR]

You need to be using the stock rom with the february security patch update (MPIS24.241-15.3-16), you can get it here and flash it throught adb fastboot or RSDlite.

Download the OTA archive here and copy to the internal storage

Go to the stock recovery

Power off your Android phone
Press and hold down the power button and the volume down button for 3 to 4 seconds then release (You should be in the fastboot mode now)
Use the volume down button to scroll down the options and use the volume up to select.
Scroll down to Recovery with the volume down and use the volume up button to select “recovery”
The android robot logo sleeping with a red mark will display with message “no command”
Now hold the power button and press the volume up button to enter recovery mode screen.

Now select "Apply update from SD card" select the ota archive (With the Power Button), wait the installation finish.

WARNING: A hardbrick will ocur only if you try install a bootloader older than the installed on the device. If you already installed the stock with may security patch, you can install the stock with february security patch and update using the ota archive, but the ota archive will update the bootloader, so if you want install the stock with february again, you will not be able to update to the rom stock 6.0.1 with may security patch via ota.

You can use the flashable TWRP zip created by @Q9Nap here

It can't get hard bricked if I remove the bootloader flashing part of the script and use a kernel to boot it, or am I wrong?
