Moto G 2014 LTE XT1078 How do I restore stock rom? - Moto G 2014 LTE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Did someone had success restoring stock rom in this device?
I wanted to restore the stock rom, but I have seen people reporting hard bricks after any procedure.
A user posted this Firmware, which is supposedly for my phone.
XT1078_THEA_RETBR_DS_5.0.2_LXB22.99-24.12_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
I was thinking in follow the instructions that the user mendelssohn give here . Maybe I could use that script in this firmware, but do not know if it would work.
Someone managed to do this procedure successfully? If so, what is right procedure?
Thanks in advance.

I've been looking for how to restore the stock recovery, so I could install Android 6.0 from OTA update. I did not flash a custom ROM, because CyanogenMod did not have a stable release for XT1078 then, and it stil does not have at the time I write this. So this file helped me to revert my XT1078 to stock.
But I did not use any script. It's just how I choose to do it, I'd rather know what's going on in every step instead of let a script do things for me. I extracted the file XT1078_THEA_RETBR_DS_5.0.2_LXB22.99-24.12_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip, and moved the required files to the folder platform-tools on Android SDK. Then these are the commands I used:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
After reboot, OTA update with Android 6.0 worked flawlessly.

I think you may want MM6.0 clean flash whitout any ota mess -> http://www.filefactory.com/file/2rw...MPB24.65-34_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
This is the MM 6.0 complete image, flash it as tatianes told you, but i would like to sugget the use of mfastbotv2 instead of fastboot
Flash like this
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot

Just remeber to doublecheck the numbers of systeam sparse file, if your rom have 0 to 7, ou will have to add those

Am i understand?
So, let me see if i understand:
I extract the zip with the rom in the same folder of fastboot (or mfastboot) then, after (double) check the numbers of system sparse file, i'll do this commands?
There is no "collateral effects"?
(I'm asking 'cause I've tried this, boot on a lollipop, and when i tried to reboot, the phone bricked)
Does anybody tried to do this from Cyano?

[Q][RESOLVED] Simple way to return to stock 1092 ?

Hello,
I would know what is the simplest way to back to stock on my XT-1092 EU version (french) ?
I have rooted my phone with multitool so the build.prop is modified and I also backed to 1095's stock rooted one time.
I downloaded RETEUALL_XT1092_4.4.4_KXE21.187-42_cid7_CFC.xml.zip, should I use mfastboot and should I return to 1095's stock unrooted with multitool before this ?
Thanks for your help.
Finally I followed these instructions and it's clean and works perfectly :

XT1092 Flashing "No command" at boot after attempt to restore to stock

I have decided to sell my Moto X and so I decided that I would restore it to stock firmware before I let anyone else take it over.
Everything on it (Pictures etc) is already transferred to my computer and deleted from the phone, so no worries about that.
To start with I had the bootloader unlocked, was rooted and running Nexus Experience.
I downloaded a factory image (VICTARA_RETEU_XT1092_5.1_LPE23.32-25.1_cid7_CFC.xml) I found here on XDA,
and flashed it manually as follows:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot erase customize
mfastboot erase clogo
mfastboot reboot
Then I get the warning that the bootloader has been unlocked. At first it got stuck there, but after forcing it to
shut down and trying again it gets past it and instead it starts flashing the android figure laying on it's back with a lid open
and a red hazard sign above it, telling me "No command". This appears for about 0.1 seconds every fourth second.
So here I am now, the phone is still flashing this message and it seems I can't really turn it off. I can (Sometimes, with a little
luck) reach fastboot mode, but whatever I choose from there takes me to the bootloader warning and the "No command" message.
Is there anyone that can guide me through this so I can get it up and running again and hopefully back to stock firmware?
I'm guessing you missed
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
Did the same thing the other day.
Re flash with all sparsechunk files. I'm on 1095 so there was 7 for me. Not sure about 1092.
I still had the error after. I rebooted into bootloader then selected factory and it worked.
Good luck
---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 AM ----------
I also didn't use these comands
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot erase customize
mfastboot erase clogo
and after
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
I used
mfastboot reboot bootloader
I'm not sure if those commands are needed. Just wasn't in the tutorial I followed

I did miss those, but only when I wrote this thread. Fixed that now.
I'm gonna give your method a try in just a minute!
So I did like @moreadon said:

mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
I tried adding "mfastboot reboot bootloader" after "mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img" as well, but that failed.
Anyway, the result was exactly the same as before, except for that - just as @moreadon said - when I booted into fastboot mode and chose "Factory" it instantly gave me the Motorola boot logo and it was up and running faster than ever before. It's a success!
Quick fix, but I'm not used to using fastboot, so I'm very thankful for the help!

Looking for 24.11.18.victara_retca.retca.en.ca recovery ROM

I seem to have lost my recovery image backup that I made before installing TWRP. I currently have 24.11.18.victara_retca.retca.en.ca installed on my phone, but can't get the most recent OTA because of this. I'm on WIND Mobile in Canada, though I don't know if there's any difference between that and standard retail.
Does anyone have a lead on the 24.11.18 stock recovery (or full ROM)?

Hi Gus (or anyone else who reads this),
Will this process reset my phone? I flashed the recovery ROM, as that's all I thought I needed, but now I think the "pre-flight checks" on the OTA are failing, i.e. some OS file on my device isn't correct. Is there a way to flash just the OS without resetting the whole device?
Cheers,
Eric

Did you flash stock recovery from the same firmware version that you already had on your phone?
In order to get OTA's, the OS must be pure stock; ALL files have to be stock. If you've never flashed 6.0 before, you will need to upgrade the Bootloader and Partition Table, which probably wipes all partitions.
Are you trying to preserve data/files/apps? I think you should back up your files before attempting anything.
The May 2016 patch is probably the last OTA this device will ever receive, that's why I'm running CM13, and soon we will get CM14 Nougat.
I don't think there's a way around it, if you want a pure factory stock device, you'll have to reset it (flash ALL the firmware files).

You can try flashing the exact firmware version you have on your phone now, like this:

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
Thanks. Flashing everything and not erasing userdata worked.

Return to Stock? XT1097 RETCA

I was wondering how I would return my moto x to stock firmware. Am I just able to flash the stock firmware files? If so, can anyone provide the latest retca 6.0 firmware files for xt1097 as I don't want to FUBAR my device. If it counts for anything, I was on MPE24.49-18 marshmallow.

Looking for XT1094 5.1 Stock Image

Hi,
I've given my minor daughter a Republic XT1094 with firmware version lpe23.32-39-R-28 (5.1). I rooted it and flashed TWRP so that parental control software could be installed (please don't address the ethics here as there was a child safety issue). Unfortunately, she managed to mess up the phone badly enough that I need to flash back to stock image to get the parental control software back on there. I grabbed a pds.img before this happened but, unfortunately, didn't get a NAND backup.
Any idea where I can find a stock image and how I can flash it?
Thanks,
Doc
Try https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20X%20%282nd%20gen-2014%29/Stock/XT1094/VICTARA_REPW_XT1094_5.1_LPE23.32-39-R-28_cid6_CFC.xml.zip using fastboot.
Follow the flashing steps in the .xml file that was included in the package.
A typical flashing sequence includes all these partitions, but might vary depending on your product - so please use the sequence in the .xml file in your package.
E.g:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set oem
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Wait, how were you able to flash TWRP on XT1094 with 5.1 if the bootloader can't be unlocked?
