Hey there,
does someone know, if there is the stock recovery image (for original firmware updates) available?
Thanks for your answers.
No there is not. Xperia devices do not have a stock recovery that you can access
But I can't update the stock firmware with custom recoveries.

Yes you can, use flashtool.net to flash a FTF
Or PCCompanion to update if you have not unlocked the bootloader.

Well, OP says "All of these ROMs will get future OTA updates as released by Motorola."
hi,
I have Lolipop 5.0 in my Moto G + root + TWRP. I received the 5.0.1 OTA but of course I can't apply the update because of TWRP. I read (here) that I need to come back to stock recovery to apply the update. I'll loose root access but that's ok, I'll root again later. My question is: how do I come back to stock recovery?
Thank you.
The same way you flash twrp.

There are links here where to download stock recovery. Can't browse the forum now. But i too have downloaded the stock from a post here. Hope it helps.

can't find XT1032 Lollipop stock recovery on XDA, I guess I'll have to open a new thread to ask... I flashed 4.4.4 stock recovery (through MotoTool AIO software) but I haven't been able to flash 5.0.1 update then. So I think 5.0 stock recovery is required to update to 5.0.1.
Thanks for your help.
If by chance you have the link to XT1032 5.0 stock recovery, please post it!

I guess you're using custom rom so restore to STOCK ROM .
Follow this guide (at the end dont flash any custom recovery) Stock recovery XT1032
Automatically you'll get stock recovery

no, I'm using stock ROM, with TWRP + root, that's it. So I just need to stock recovery to apply OTA update.
But thanks for the link, I understand how to use it to come back to stock recovery. Except... that this guide is for XT1033. Do you think I can use recovery.img XT1033 image file to flash my XT1032?
Hi,
I installed [STABLE] CM12 [20150120] Xperia Z3 [ALL VARIANTS] and now I want to get back to the stock kernel and stock firmware. Can I just download the stock firmware from here and flash it over the CM12.img? Or do I have to install another kernel before? A small tutorial would be nice.
My phone is only accessible via PC. So i can change between flash mode and fastboot mode in the flashtool or fastboot cmd. The bootloader is unlocked.
Thanks in advance

Do you have a link for me where I can get download them?
I can't find a stock kernel. I would take the stock firmware from here.

Just use the advanced stock kernel from the development section. That will boot up a stock FTF and also give you root.

Okay I'll try it. Thank you.
I'm still confused about this. Can we do what the title says? Been searching it for a while and I can't find any answers because probably no one asked this. Thanks
Yes you can. Without root you can flash FTF,s. With root & recovery you can flash sony stock based roms. With unlocked bootloader you can flash custom kernels

Ah thanks. Always thought there would be a conflict when flashing a generic firmware on a carrier phone.
I am using unlock bootloader Xperia Z3 right now, having rooted custom rom and recovery. Currently I need to have my device become non-rooted for testing applications. I can flash FTF but my device will lost recovery and it would be tedious to flash recovery and rom again.
I tried to find any non-root rom but can't find yet. Or do I need to flash FTF to have non-root rom?

If you are not rooted you are stuck with official stock roms only. Just flash a FTF.
However, this will not lock your bootloader, you will have to restore your TA partition to do this or use flashtool.
