Hello! So, I'm going to update from MM to N. I have TWRP and ElementalX installed and I wondered if any of you have the flashable zips or img's of the stock Marshmallow 6.0.1 for the XT1621 or another working ver.
I know I could download the firmware and just flash the both of them but my internet is not capable of downloading large files. I want to say that I have backed up the "Boot" partition with TWRP before flashing ElementalX but I don't know if this could help. I'm sorry if these files where to be found in this forum since I can't find them.
Thank you in advance! I would love if you could help me!

EDIT: I couldn't update to Nougat officially. As I said, I used Xposed, and some other apps that modify the System Partition. I found a Lineage OS ROM that had everything I wanted, in Nougat. It's working perfectly now! The battery life is so much better! If you want a link, PM me. I'll be pleased!

Dumb Question

Hello, I am new to XDA, and I've been looking all over the internet for the answer to the following question: Is the Moto G4 XT1621 same or similiar to other models on XDA? i.e, I have a Moto G4 XT1621 but all I see is ROMs for XT1641 or higher, even if they are the same. Can't even find root for this phone. I know the phone code is same (ATHENE) but I don't want to jump ahead and try and so something when I may not have the community's support for rooting, custom ROMs etc..

Can someone just help me by letting me know if flashing TWRP for Athene would work on XT1621 (RetLA, DualSIM) as it would on an XT164x etc. Thanks.

PS: if on the wrong thread please direct me to the correct one, there's not much info on the main G4 Menu...

It will work just fine, the process for flashing TWRP is the same for all xt16xx models.
After flashing TWRP you can flash a custom kernel like ex kernel and root your phone using any method for it.

Thank you! I haven't rooted or flashed anything yet on my Xt1621, as I got a XT1687 and got to play with it.
