Would it make any issue if I have my device with a different kernel than the stock one? For rooting it I had to flash Elemental-X kernel (Moto G4 Plus).
Thanks.

For flashing the OTA, you must flash to stock Nougat rom (including kernel), otherwise the phone will enter in bootloop. After you install the OTA, you can flash the EX kernel and root it again.

A few other things to note about this update:

Looks to require NPJS25.93-14-4 (the March 2017 v7.0 update) to install from (that fastboot update is here if you need it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 )

Bootloader updated to B1.06 (March 2017 had B1.05) - I imagine this fixes the critical security vulnerability as noted in the May 2017 security update (CVE-2016-10277 https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2017-05-01#eop-in-motorola-bootloader ) EDIT - it seems that once this patch is flashed, downgrading your device (especially when flashing the GPT/bootloader from an older stock ROM) may well risk bricking your device! This brick may also occur if you downgrade from this build without flashing GPT/bootloader and then install an OTA. Be aware.

Boot animation now has 'Motorola, a Lenovo company' at the bottom (not sure if that was there previously) when the logo flips from Lenovo to the M symbol.

IMEI SV seems to be changed to 9 (think it used to be 8).

New logo seems to appear when charging with the device off (before the battery gauge appears)?

Also, if your OTA download is in your Download folder, when you're in stock recovery, I had issues trying to 'apply update via SD card'. Seems that 'mount /system' allowed me to navigate to the Download directory (don't know if that applies to everyone).

I was previously rooted on the March update with magisk v13 and ElementalX. I attempted to revert back to stock by:
Booting back into TWRP
Using the magisk uninstaller (https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445)
Reboot to bootloader
Then using the following commands in adb to flash a stock NPJS25.93-14-4 boot and recovery image.
Code: 
 fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

However, upon trying to flash the OTA in the stock recovery, I encountered an error 7 (I think it was failing to load or verify system).

Flashing the following partitions from the NPJS25.93-14-4 stock ROM allowed me to flash the OTA in the stock recovery without erasing my data (bear in mind I was already fully updated to NPJS25.93-14-4 before rooting. I've also got a TWRP backup and Titanium backups to fall back to.) This should not affect your data, but ensure you have your data backed up regardless (always good practice when flashing anything that touches your system). I am not sure if all these partitions are required to flash the OTA if you were previously rooted. As always, if you're using these commands to roll back to stock from a rooted stock system, be prepared to factory reset if your system is not stable.
Code: 
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
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.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

Now I'm on the June 1 2017 update on a retgb XT1642 :D Thanks @georgeiulian89

Now to try and root this build :)

Do you have an SD card, and if so, what card is it? Just wondering if having an SD card might allow the recovery down as it reads?

Yes. I have Samsung Evo Plus 64 GB MicroSDXC Card. I tried place the zip file in internal memory and sd card. Still no improvement.

I also tried after removing the SD Card.

    New update for Moto G4/4+ started rolling (NPJS25.93-14-8). It has 56MB and it contains the 1st June 2017 security patch.

    You can download it from here and install it by flashing it from SD card or sideloading it.

    Yes, I was able to install the OTA. I am now on the June security update. Thank you for the fastboot commands to get me back to stock unrooted.

    One question. I was able to go back to fully stock, because I had the ATHENE_AMZ_NPJS25.93-14-4 stock image. I want to root and install Elemental X kernel on the phone again. Since I don't have the ATHENE_AMZ_NPJS25.93-14-5 stock image, then I wont be able to go back to stock for the next OTA. Flashing stock recovery and boot wont bring it back to stock only, right? I did flash stock recovery and boot and I could not do the OTA, until I flashed the system files with the fastboot commands you provided.

    How I can backup the files needed to go back to stock next time I need to update?

    Thanks again

    As far as I know, as of writing you are correct - because of there being no stock image for NPJ25.93-14-5, you may not be able to roll back to full stock (though a fastboot ROM might come out in future). Even if you flashed stock recovery and stock boot, your system may still be detected as modified so an OTA may not work (I recently read that OTA updates check if your system is modified, even if it's simply read only or read-write, the read-write conferred by allowing TWRP to make modifications could cause an OTA to fail More info here: https://twrp.me/site/update/2015/06/22/twrp-2.8.7.0-released.html .)

    One way to possibly get around this, though I've not tried it is:
    1)Boot your device in TWRP. This should ensure you keep your recovery stock. Do not 'swipe to allow modifications'
    2)Backup your device (the normal choices of partitions should suffice), make a note of this being a clean, read-only copy of your system and device. You may wish to transfer this backup to your computer.
    3)Reboot to TWRP again, this time swipe to allow modifications (making your system read-write).
    Flash ElementalX and root as before.

    Thus, the theory is that to restore back to stock ready for a future OTA, you'd revert back to your backup you made above in step 2 once you've booted into TWRP. This should reflash a clean, read-only copy of your kernel and system. As you've still got your original recovery by booting into TWRP, your system should be stock enough for an OTA to be happy. Of course, rebooting back into TWRP requires a computer, which might get a little annoying depending on how often you flash. Again, I've not tried this but it likely should work. Good luck though.

    I know this might get me blasted with read research but I can't seem to find it....how the f@#$_ do you get into stock recovery? Power button vol up?!!

    First of all power off your device and enter to the bootloader (power + vol-) , then, search for recovery (with the volume buttons), and select it with the power button.

    You will boot into recovery, and it's going to display an Android robot image saying "No command". Press POWER button for 2 seconds and without release it, press VOLUME+ button.

    Easy way: enable developer options (in settings, by touching repeatedly 'build number' in 'about the phone').
    Into developer options enable USB debugging, and with ADB (device connected to pc, obviously) type:

    adb reboot recovery
