Downgrade to lower version of MM (139-23, i think, not sure ) and you will receive latest update of MM (139-63)... It will make it official...

That's because you flashed EX kernel. This overwrites your stock kernel (boot.img) with EX kernel. Your bootloader only considers stock (Motorola) ROM files as 'official' including the kernel.

Obviously when you flashed a custom ROM it won't have Moto files as they have their own kernels.

To get it it back to official you need to revert to stock MM using this guide:

This should solve your issue

Note: It will wipe all your files and remove root, etc as it will make your phone just like how you got it when purchased.

I have sideloaded the latest Nougat Ota/ soak ( debatable) ..it still persists
Thanks

Move your question here from development thread, i clearly said OTA, sideloading zip is not OTA...

Once you unlock the bootloader it will always show modified in the bootloader. You can't revert back to official once it's unlocked therefore modified. I already reverted back to stock firmware using fastboot and it's still considered modified.

I am not sure if what you said was right. Unlocking bootloader won't change the status to unofficial on the screen but it does essentially void your warranty. Even if you unlock, the device will still show it as official until and unless you decide to play with /system or /oem or root or custom kernel. Other than that, I believe it will still show it as official even though unlocked.

System status changes if you modify stock firmware.
It doesnt have to do anything with locked or unlocked bootloader.
I successfully changed my system status from modified to official even with unlocked bootloader.

How did you do that?

He would've flashed the stock MM image via fastboot.

How did you do that?

1. Download older firmware :- MPJ139-23.1.

2. boot into twrp & format dalvik/cache/system/data/internal storage & then poweroff device.

3. GOTO :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/how-to-downgrade-nougat-to-marshmallow-t3487201

Use that code to flash firmware using fastboot.

4. Now after booting you will get ota update around 500mb. Update & you will get official status.

5. That's all i did. It worked perfectly for me. I've xt1643 model.
