Downgrade Android version in a Verizon Moto Z play? - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

Hello, I havea Moto Z play from Veryzon ( bootloader can't be unlocked) XT-1635-01
Is it possible to flash a stock firmware? if so, can I flash an Android 6 stock rom? It currently has the latest Android 7 update with security patch from february 2018.
Thank you!

No. With a locked bootloader you can only flash current firmware and newer, older is impossible in general, especially over major updates which is already very hard on unlocked bootloader

I don't think you can flash that firmware onto a Verizon Z Play - if I recall, Verizon devices run the NDN26/NDNS26 Nougat builds of firmwares. As such you'd likely need the ODN27/ODNS27 builds of Oreo stock firmwares, which unfortunately means waiting for Verizon (or hope that there's a leak of the ODN Oreo stock firmware). Trying to flash the retail OPN27 firmware would likely be rejected by your bootloader.
