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).

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.

System status back to Official

I have tried to flash Stock rom and relock bootloader already but System Status still : Modified
Anyone can help me?

When I had a Moto G4 Plus, when I upgraded via OTA (from 6.0 to 7.0) the status changes, I do not know if the Moto X4 will do the same
How do you block the bootloader? can you teach me? I already want to block it and I can not without mentioning that at the beginning I get the message of this one and I have to press the power button to advance :/

You need official signed stock images to flash which have not been released by Lenovo. There's no return from unlocking the bootloader currently.

Hi! I have Moto X4 XT1900-7 4/64 (Europe)
I have downloaded Retail ROM version, and did everything like you describe for devices with unlocked bootloader. And I have a problem. During the start i see "Your device has loaded a different operating system. Visit this link on another device: motorola [dot] com [slash] unlockbootloader…". Then device starts, but I can't connect it to my laptop via USB (I have also tried with another PC). It's charging, but there is no notification to choose connection mode. In settings the option "USB Not connected" is grey. Do you have any ideas?

On 8.1 there's a bug in April Security Patch the USB only works with de lockscreen security disabled. See if the June update is available for you, then update, if not, go to developer's options and check the option OEM Unlocker then flash this:
fastboot oem lock

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot oem lock
if oem lock doesn't works change to: fastboot flashing lock or oem relock
Some phones only clears the massage after a update.

It works properly only via mfastboot for me, don't really know why. Before you answered I have boot-looped my device (with no possibility to run adb/fastboot commands, ya). But mfastboot helped me to boot 8.0 Retail ROM from the link you mentioned before and then to lock Moto X OEM.

Those are not signed or he wouldn't get that message. You can flash all the available copied payton ROMs all day manually to get the phone working.

This ROMs are signed, and we can flash without unlock de bootloader.

Which stock firmware do I need to use for my XT1900-1 model X4?

I have a XT1900-1 that says "android one" on bootup and has the following in the system information FCC ID idht56wk1, software variant: google_fi, software channel:retus and I am trying to find out which firmware from here I need. I got the phone from Credo Mobile which uses the Sprint network if it makes a difference.

And to update when a new security update comes out I just remove "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin" and "fastboot erase userdata" lines from what you posted above before flashing it and then after the update is installed reinstall twrp and magisk, right? Since once twrp and magisk are installed OTA updates don't work.

Can you relock the bootloader?

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.

@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???
