Hi guys, I'm doing this tutorial because I didn't find a complete tutorial on how to restore our Moto X 2014 to stock 6.0 marshmallow.
As I asked here for help, I tried encrypting the phone when using LineageOS but it failed and then bootlooped, so I needed to reflash the stock ROM because the formating though TWRP failed too.
I used a Linux distro to do the job. For windows I think there are scripts out there which do the job, and of course you can adapt the commands given here to work with Windows (i.e. changing "sudo fastboot" to "fastboot.exe").
Note: My device is a XT1097 variant and the boot loader was already unlocked. There's also a Zip file for those who have a working TWRP recovery already.
Download the ROM files here: EU variant // RET LA + NIIMX variants
The file I used for this tutorial was: Motorola_Moto_X_XT1097_VICTARA_RETLA_6.0_MPES24.49-18-3_cid12_6.0.zip
Setup of the computer:
1- Install androidtools-fastboot & androidtools-adb
[Optional] 2- Install libmtp package too
Setup of the phone:
1- Reboot your phone into fastboot mode (press power and vol down toghether)
2- Connect the phone to PC
3- Extract the content of the Zip file & enter the folder
4- Open a new terminal inside the folder called "Firmware"
5- Execute these commands below (one command per line)
Bash:
sudo fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
sudo fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sudo fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
sudo fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
sudo fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
sudo fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
sudo fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
sudo fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
sudo fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
sudo fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
sudo fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
sudo fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
sudo fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
sudo fastboot erase modemst1
sudo fastboot erase modemst2
sudo fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
sudo fastboot erase cache
sudo fastboot erase userdata
sudo fastboot erase customize
sudo fastboot erase clogo
[Optional] Tip: If you want to reset the Motorola logo too (it will display again the warning regarding the bootloader unlock, this is why I skipped it), execute the command below just before entering boot.img command
Bash:
sudo fastboot flash logo logo.bin
6- Reboot the phone just in case
Bash:
sudo fastboot reboot-bootloader
7- Reboot the phone into the system
Bash:
sudo fastboot reboot
8- Wait several minutes on the animation booting screen
9- Done, the phone should now show the "Welcome" greenish screen
10- After the initial setup, go to the PlayStore and update your Google Play Services app before updating/installing other apps
I based my tutorial on this post here by @seco2004 and in this post forum here by Junior Gomes. Thanks for all the devs for the hard work with this amazing (besides the battery duration) phone and for that website for hosting all Motorola's stock ROMs at GDrive.

Hi,
I did not found the factory images anywhere in XDA, so thought to share this here.
Android 5.0 Lollipop Moto X 2014 XT1092 RETEUALL Factory Image.
Link: http://goo.gl/CQhJs2
Hope this helped.
Flashing steps as provided by Motorola site.:
Unzip the image.
Put your device in fastboot mode.
NOTE: You must use the Motorola fastboot utility to flash (included in the Darwin/, Linux/ or Windows/ directory). Please do NOT use the Android fastboot utility
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:
$ 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 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 system system.img_sparsechunk.6
$ fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
$ fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
$ fastboot erase modemst1
$ fastboot erase modemst2
$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
$ fastboot erase customize [leave that out if you have special customization from motomaker]
$ fastboot erase clogo [leave that out if you have special customization from motomaker]
$ fastboot reboot
You also have the option to erase all the data on your device with
$ fastboot erase userdata
$ fastboot erase cache
Thanks man. This will surely help. Is this Motorola signed images or extracted ones? Do you know?
Can't understand why some of you guys have such problems with this ROM

Hey... how are you?
Nobody has problems with this rom, but here on xda people love to flash, wipe, flash, flash over and over... and having a stock a factory image is a "must have".
How does that zip work? just flash with a custom recovery or need fastboot flash?
Updated the post with steps, however you can flash the factory images by using Android SDK also and using the commands provided in the first post.
I actually posted this a few days ago but it got moved to the General section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/img-5-0-reteuall-xt1092-lxe22-46-19-t2997745
I think that the sequence of commands in the 1st post is not correct...inside the .zip file there are different named files.
The right sequence is in @kackburt guide
Can you not use RSDlite?
should work, yes.
Thanks, i have updated the commands. Actually that was for Android 4.4 as mentioned in Motorola site.
can I use Android Fastboot instead of Moto fastboot??I think yes...can you confirm??
This is already posted in the General section, linked above. Typically, device images aren't considered development.

Hello guys
Today morning i was on cyanogenmod11 and after some time i decided to restore back to stock Lollipop so i restored a backup of Lollipop system image and suddenly a error poped up saying unable to mount /data /system
I thought this might me minor issue then i tried using fastboot to flash the stock lollipop images
When i started the flashing process i got some serious errors on my cmd
"Failed to erase partition"
"failed to write partition"
And for now only Fastboot Mode is working with UTAG "flashfail" error

Be patient. Not everybody lives in the same timezone. Your posted at 2.32am cet.
gpt.bin and motoboot.img can't be flashed if the version on the device is the same or higher version.
Just ignore these two.
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
That should do it.

Sometimes it's the fastboot version. Try this:
Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot and install it.
start "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" by navigating to the Start Menu Folder you choose to create during installtion or the desktop shortcut you choose to create and selecting "Minimal ADB and Fastboot"
You should now see a command window open.
Put your device in fastboot mode and connect usb.
Now just do verify type this command
Code:
fastboot devices
the output should show something like this (your number is different)
Code:
fastboot devices
ABC99999999 fastboot
now copy the images into the directory where your command window is open and start flashing.

dude i know how to flash these images,and i tried latest version of fastboot from google still problem persists
Hi everyone.
Accidentally wiped the OS, apparently people fixed it using ADB. I'm trying to sideload a rom but adb says "Total xfer 0.00x" and my moto g says ADB Sideload Complete: Failed.
Any ideas how to fix this?
ADDED:
In case if someone wonders how I fixed this:
1) Reboot the phone into bootloader mode.
2) Open a command prompt / terminal (Start -> cmd.exe in Win7) and browse to the folder with the extracted firmware.
3) Connect your phone to your PC.
4) Flash stock firmware.

and no know such device:silly:
XT1064
I have this phone and updated to the latest upgrade XT1064_TITAN_RETUAWS_6.0_MPBS24.65-34-4_cid9_CFC.xml with fastboot. I'm in the US, so assuming this is the correct version.
It got past the "I have an unlocked bootloader page, but it's stuck on the M page, with the stitching. How long does this boot take the first time? So far, I think it's been going for 5+ minutes.
This are the commands I used to upgrade:
Code:
sudo fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
sudo fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
sudo fastboot flash logo logo.bin
sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sudo fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
sudo fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
sudo fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
sudo fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
sudo fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
sudo fastboot erase modemst1
sudo fastboot erase modemst2
sudo fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
sudo fastboot erase cache
sudo fastboot erase userdata
sudo fastboot reboot
I can still get into bootloader if I reboot.
SOLVED
I restarted the bootloader, installed TWRP, allowed modifications. Rebooted and the phone booted to the setup application (1 out of 4) and started up. Radio is working and everything is working as normal. Came from Krexus ROM.
Please help me with your knowledge for a little while. I really need help because my android is bootlooping and this is the only phone I have. I really need your help here.
-I followed this guide with little differences https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e5/how-to/guide-root-twrp-moto-e5-play-explained-t3856182
-I took precautions and I downloaded the respective twrp for my phone (moto e5 nora).
-I couldn't make a backup because I'm lower-class college student and I can't afford a micro sd bigger than 4gb (I should have given up here).
-I installed Magisk and i thought it went well because no errors showed (at least that's what I think)
-Bootloop showing some numbers (80012a99-867fda48-...)
-I tried to uninstall using the uninstaller.zip so I could install an older version of Magisk but twrp says "cannot access /data please uninstall with magisk manager" but I just can't do it because android it's bootlooping.
Other data (it may be useful):
-After installing the last version of Magisk, abd won't recognize the phone ("adb devices") but "fastboot devices" will.
-I cannot repair /data but I can format it to ext4,ext2, etc (but it didn't work).
-I'm downloading stock image but I don't know how safe will it be to reinstall the whole Android. I'm afraid I can permanently damage my phone after what I have done here.
This is the first time I post here. I don't usually ask for help, I don't like to bother people. Thanks in advance and forgive me for my English!
FIXED
If someone has the same problem, this is what I did:
1-Download the LAST (this is very important) version ROM. I recommend lolinet (dot) com for our Moto E5.
2-Download adb and decompress the ROM into the adb folder.
3-Open command promt and go to adb's directory.
4-Check that your phone is being recognized by your pc:
Code:
fastboot devices
5- Copy and paste:
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
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 erase DDR
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Then fastboot reboot and there you go!
I'm very glad and I hope you, future readers, find this useful enough to get your phone running as it used to run when we were real happy.
