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).

Thanks. Flashing everything and not erasing userdata worked.

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.

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
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Good luck.
Thanks. Worked perfectly.

Wait, how were you able to flash TWRP on XT1094 with 5.1 if the bootloader can't be unlocked?
My XT1805 is rooted and bootloader unlocked and stuck on NPSS26.116-61-5.
Is there any way to upgrade this to stock Oreo ?
BUMP
I don't need Root so just want to do anything to get Oreo installed

Title. Alternatively, can you still receive OTAs with an unlocked bootloader if the firmware is stock?
Currently the issue is that the firmware files you can find online throw a bad key error on the boot and recovery images, so it's not possible to lock the bootloader that way. Motorola also doesn't provide proper OTA packages to download (I asked the support) and an emergency recovery tool like Samsung Kies doesn't seem to exist for Moto.
What are my options here? I want to give the device to a relative and need everything to work.
I did it with this code on fastboot folder (Minimal ADB & Fastboot Portable 1.4.3) with the last firmware RETAIL PPSS29.55-37-4 and then use RSD Lite to re-flash the firmware, it worked for me. Do it under your own risk.
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin

Thank you, that worked perfectly!

@HeavyHDx I highly recommend to re-flash the firmware on RSD Lite (if you haven't did it) because it could be some errors with the NON-HLOS.bin, like no sound when calling, at least that happened with me.
How could it worked perfectly since some commands are non-sense??
The Moto g6 is a A-only device... So all commands for XXX_other.img or "_b.img" won't be executed.
The second thing is that this device has a "adspso.bin" file for partition "dsp". But the command here will flash a "dspso.bin" file.
What about /recovery???
Hi everyone!
I have a big issue
I first flashed the stock firmware via motorola rescue tool then I relocked the bootloader
After that I got this error
Your device has loaded a different operating system
Then it bootloops

Most likelly you have flashed the stock from a different variant, check this link
lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.

you can still flash stock with bootloader locked, as long as you can enter fastboot mode
