What you need:
A Windows/macOS/Linux computer
A USB cable
ADB and Fastboot files
Stock Firmware
Your phone
*Disclaimer* Your warranty is now void if you modify your phone. I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
Let's get started! First, backup to your computer/Dropbox/etc. all the files you wish to save. This will wipe all data off your phone (Not all data saved on any cloud services, such as Google, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.). You will also lose root if you have it.
Second, boot your phone into the bootloader. This can be done in certain ROM power menus, or with the ADB command "adb reboot bootloader" in Command Prompt/Terminal, or also by turning off your phone and then holding the power and volume down buttons. After booting into the bootloader, plug your phone into your computer.
Next open up Command Prompt if on Windows, Terminal if on macOS/Linux.
Navigate in CMD Prompt/Terminal to the directory you downloaded and extracted the stock firmware. Copy the Fastboot and ADB files into the same directory as the stock firmware files.
*Most Linux distributions have the same commands as Windows. I only have experience with Arch Linux and ElementaryOS (An Ubuntu variant), so I cannot confirm for other distributions.*
*I no longer am running macOS on my MacBook, I'm running Arch Linux and an Ubuntu variant, so I'm no longer able to troubleshoot with macOS*
For Windows and Linux users, enter the following commands in Command Prompt/Terminal (use sudo before each command in Linux, or use sudo -s beforehand):
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
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 erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot erase DDR

Stock rom moto g4 play xt1600 brazil
Por favor alguém tem stock rom da variante xt1600 do Brasil

Very nice!
But to install the stock rom you don't need to unlock bootloader...

Thanks for the nice guide

Does it require an unlocked bootloader? Thanx anyways

Personally, I have no idea. I've seen guides from other various phones over the years in the Moto and also HTC families when I had their devices, that say you do and some say you don't. I would say to be safe, yes it should have an unlocked bootloader but again, I cannot 100% answer that

Thank you! Your tutorial helped me a lot! I was wanting to go back to the original firmware!

@fireball0093 By the way, are you sure it works with normal fastboot? Because I see you have linked adb and normal fastboot files, but in the Windows instructions it says "mfastboot" ?

Generally most guides I have seen out there for a lot of things have mfastboot as the command for Windows. I personally run macOS so I'm not really savvy with the Windows adb and fastboot

Will using this guide install stock firmware and remove the bootloader unlocked warning?
Did you try any command for relocking the bootloader or is it not possible to do that in our device at all?

I always flash a custom logo from AnoopKumar's thread, so I'm not too sure. It's been a while since I last flashed to stock. This will install stock firmware, and I'm not sure at all if our device has a bootloader able to be relocked.

I used a similar instruction from the topic for moto g4 plus couple of months ago (except for this line - mfastboot erase DDR - dont know what is it for). I used Adb run on windows 10: mfastboot command didn't work. Then i typed all the same lines but with fastboot instead of mfastboot. It worked.

No, it will not. Unless you install a custom boot logo from the respective thread during this step: mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
---------- Post added at 15:49 ---------- Previous post was at 15:46 ----------
I've got a couple of questions: what is this command responsible for: "mfastboot erase DDR" ?
I flashed stock rom without this line and it worked fine.
Does it matter if flash oem is done before 8 of flash system commands?

Thank you for the guide!!! Worked like a charm to flash my Moto XT1607 back to stock. I just want to confirm that you have to remove the "m" on each command line if you are using Windows. I'm using Windows 10 and the commands were NOT recognized with the "m" in front of each line. That being said, the bat file provided will NOT work with windows. Copy and paste each line without the "m" in the command terminal and it works perfectly!
Thanks again Fireball0093

I will edit the post since it seems you don't need to enter m in front of fastboot. I use macOS as my main OS

please help
please can help me ?? i got xt1601 from pc mobile 24.201.8.harpia.retail.en.us i cant find the stock firmware help help

Thanks bro
Good job

No OS Can't Boot

So the other day I tried to go back to stock from resurrection remix using a stock 5.1 file I found on this website. I used to flash and all that kind of stuff a while ago but haven't in a while and lost my touch. So basically I know I did it wrong and now there is no OS on the phone. I can access both TWRP and Fastboot mode but that's it. When I try to boot it shows the bootloader unlock screen, vibrates and then goes to a black screen that flashes the little android guy with his stomach open every so often. I tried flashing both stock and RR twice and still nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
P.S. I have the Verizon XT1096 Variant.

So you have the Motorola USB drivers installed:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
Recent versions of ADB/Fastboot.
Latest stock firmware:
firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20X%20%282nd%20gen-2014%29/Stock/XT1096/
Probably VICTARA_VERIZON_XT1096_5.1_LPE23.32-25-5_cid2_CFC.xml.zip
Extract the firmware and put the 4 ADB/Fastboot files in the folder with the firmware files.
Boot into Bootloader Mode and connect the phone, make sure the phone says "connected..."
Shift + right-click inside that folder, Open command window here... Paste these commands, BUT CHECK THE NUMBER of sparsechunks your firmware has:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
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
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Thank you so much!! I tried this before with no avail. I think the website I used for the commands didn't have the first few that you had. But it worked, my phone booted up. Thanks again so much!

You're welcome, glad it worked!
If you want to try custom roms again, I've been using TWRP 3.0.2-1 and it seems to have no issues so far (and I'm running the latest CM Nightlies).

If you mean Motorola's mfastboot, no you don't have to, I always use the lastest fastboot to flash stock firmware, custom recovery, etc.
Of course, it's always best to have an unlocked bootloader, but then you lose warranty.

I am on mac so hopefully that is not causing any issues, but I am having the same exact problem as the OP. But I was missing that first command so I am thinking that'll fix it. When in twrp whenever I tried to flash anything or wipe partitions it threw up all kinds of errors about the partitions not being mounted and stuff. Do you think missing that first command would mess up the partition table or something?
This is the errors i got when trying to wipe.

The first two commands are not necessary, but they wouldn't cause any problems, nor fix any:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
But before you start flashing anything on a phone, you should have the latest stock firmware on it, so that you have the latest bootloader and partition table. Some versions of TWRP (3.0) may have been corrupting partitions. You should try reflashing the latest partition table and bootloader from the latest firmware, then reflashing the latest TWRP 3.0.2-1.
I'm not familiar with macs... Is the phone encrypted?

no it was never encrypted. I have redownloaded the latest firmware on the chance that my download was corrupted or something. Should I flash the partition and boot images then restart into the bootloader before flashing the rest?

I guess it's safest to just flash the whole firmware as I have listed in the commands; these commands are contained in an XML file that comes with the firmware (flashfile.xml), the "reboot bootloader" after the partition table and bootloader flash, comes from Motorola's flashing instructions.

Thanks, I am at work now but as soon as I get home I will give it a go. I have been on iOS for over a year now and my moto has been dead since about a month after moto allowed us to unlock the verizon variant. Stupid thing lol.
how do I check the amount of sparsechunks that I have. Sorry for the dumb question

YOUR A LIFE SAVER Fakieskr

Moto x stuck at bootloader warning screen and won't go anywhere else.

So I been up all night trying to figuring out to fix this, so make things short i'll tell you what's wrong. My moto x is stuck at the warning bootloader unlocked screen and the only thing i can go to is the bootloader. I was flashing cyanogenmod 13 and i made some dumb decisions while trying to fix things. I trying to go into recovery but every time it boot back to the warning screen. At this i'm clueless at what to do and i'm just trying get my phone back to working condition, any help is appreciated.

It's always a good idea to put your phone in bootloader mode and do:
fastboot getvar all
So you get all the specs of your phone, and copy the info into a Notepad file.
Did you try reflashing TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-1-victara.img)?
If that's not working, you may be able to reflash stock firmware.
https://firmware.center:8081/firmware/Motorola/

fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set

Moto G6 XT1925-6 - NO RECOVERY & Reboots to bootloader

As the title says, I have no recovery and can't seem to restore the stock recovery. Also, when I boot/reboot the phone, it goes to fastboot mode. Then if I select START, it will boot to the system.
I purchased this phone used and the bootloader was already unlocked. I installed TWRP, rooted it and set it up. When I put my sim in, I could send & receive text messages and mms messages, but I was unable to talk or hear anything while on a voice call. The call is placed and/or received fine. However, once connected, I cannot hear anything nor can anyone hear me.
I want to return for a refund and have restored to factory per this guide. (the problem persists). However, I do not have a recovery. Flashing the stock recovery thru ADB appears to work but trying to boot to it goes to fastboot mode. I cannot boot/reboot the phone without it going to fastboot, then I have to select START to boot to the system. If I cannot correct these problems I will not be able to return the phone...and I can't use it as is because of the phone issue.
Thanks...and help!
Did the phone work fine when you got it?

I don't understand this. How do I erase fastboot reboot? It's a command to reboot.
if you use the firmware from the guide you show in the first post is probably not the right one for your device, I have exactly same model and took me a wile to figure out how to factory reset and relock it.
yes you gonna put the first commands all at once ,
then in the cmd terminal its gonna be the last command "fastboot reboot" but do not press enter otherwise it will reboot,
erase it and
add the second part of the command, line by line not all at once like the first part.
this will bring you device back to factory and relock the bootloader ,

OK. Understood. But how will relocking the bootloader help me? It reboots to fastboot...it doesn't reboot to the system/OS. What I need is a recovery to somehow be flashed and to "stick".

I can have the phone reboot normally now! Thank you very much!!!
As far as returning, I got it used on eBay. The bootloader was already unlocked. It's the phone that doesn't work for actual calls. I just need/wanted to return it exactly like it was.
Thanks again for your help!

After reflashing stock with OPS27.82-72 (came with OPS27.82-19-4), the phone now actually works too. Very weird. I may have/want to keep the phone now.

How to unroot new Z3 play?

So I think I'm going to return this Z3 play. Can someone link me to the process of unrooting?
Hear, HEAR. I second this, I am trying to work my way through the "No SIM Card" or sometimes "Invalid SIM Card" (on Sprint networks) error, and I am just wanting to unroot and relock the bootloader without breaking the thing beyond repair. Any help is appreciated. I located the latest stock firmware on here, but I am not 100% sure on the exact process as of yet.

I have the Unlocked Z3, as well as the Sprint model, and have flashed between stock/CFW many tines. You simply need to use a flash all bat, paired with the stock firmware (current or newer).
However, please keep in mind that the verity message will remain during boot. Locking the bootloader will NOT fix this. If either of you need the bat file lmk.
Edit:
1. Enter fastboot/booloader on phone. Place bat file in SAME folder as unzipped firmware. Android SDK or adb tools must be installed!
2. Try USB2.0 port before 3+
3. Once done, use keys and switch to recovery mode
4. Perform a format
5. Reboot

I need help to restore my moto z3 play

Hello, I tried to install a rom on my moto z3 play and now it does not start. With "blankflash" I managed to make it turn on in mode fastboot but i try to install the original rom but it says "Oem_locked". Then install the moto smart asistant tool but it didn't work either, inside "moto asistant" I get "Error combining the connected device, please connect it and try again", when I connect it, an unsupported device appears. It is rare because the previous times I use the program, I download the official rom of the device and install it, but now it does not work. In "connected devices" it does not appear as "Qualcomm_Qdloader 9008" but appears as "Fastboot beckham S".
I'm really desperate I don't know what to do. If anyone knows how I can fix it please I need your help.
Is there a way to enable usb debugging from the "fastboot"?

I believe your only option is RSD Lite if you have a windows 7 pc

Hi. I want to flash a rom using fastboot into my mz3 Play. I can't find a tutorial on it. After I download the ROM:
1. I unzip it to the desktop?
2. connect the phone to usb in fastboot mode?
3. Run the commands in fastboot?
or do I have to unzip the ROM into the ADB / fastboot folder?

Using fastboot, unzip the firmware files in the same folder as adb / fastboot and then follow the commands listed above.
Note:
The bootloader must be unlocked.
The adb drivers must be installed.
The device must be started in fastboot mode.

Thank you for responding! Presently my bootloader is unlockable. I have already done as you described and the rom flashed without issues. Thanks again.

Thank you for the link. The tutorial is great for someone who is knowledgeable in fastboot. But my experience with fastboot is limited with booting and flashing twrp. And maybe a few simple other commands. The tutorial didn't have any information regarding what I was supposed to do with the ROM zip after I downloaded it. However, your tutorial had several links and following one link to another and to another.. ... I was able to determine that what you do with the zip file kind of depends on how you have set up your adb/ fastboot. And because of another article you wrote I was able to determine unzipping the rom in my abd/fastboot folder was what I needed to do. So, thank you for your knowledge, which is light years ahead of mine.

My phone is a sprint variant. I wanted to flash the brazil variant and the US canada variant, in hopes of one would solve my issue and I could get my bootloader unlocked. I couldn't get them to flash with the rescue tool. I followed someone's instructions where they were able to trick the tool by replacing the files in the lmsa's rom folder. Unfortunately I couldn't get either one to flash in the lmsa tool past 64%. They fail. So I had to fastboot them. Unfortunately I still can't get fastboot to retrieve my unlock data.
