[Q] Need root to return to stock?

Do you need to be rooted to return to stock using this method?
/fastboot flash boot boot.img
/fastboot flash system system.img
/fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
/fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
/fastboot erase cache
or can it be done on an unrooted zoom? (With CMW installed)
Thanks.

these commands need to be done with the files from motorola through command promp on your pc or laptop. If you nned a guide i habe one and a few other ppl that are and have maybe explained it better than me on here. Just got onto the dev thread and u can see a few there on the 1st page
This is my guide
P.s you dont need root!

[Help] Moto G 4G peregrine issues

Hello,
I have followed the tutorials to unlock the bootloader of my moto G 4G : the bootloader is unlocked and I have removed the message when starting the phone with this tutorial : forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/logo-remove-bootloader-unlocked-warning-t2794104
Anyway, I would like now to install a recovery CWM with this tutorial :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/recovery-unofficial-cwm-6-0-5-0-t2818161
But when I do so, I have the following message on the screen of my phone : "Mismatch partition size (recovery)"
And when I boot on the bootloader then select recovery but nothing appears, just a black screen.
The status code of my bootloader is : 3 and it says "Device is unlocked".
I can boot to CWM from the computer with : fastboot boot recovery.img
but when I type : fastboot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img I get this error.
Can someone help me please ?
Thank you in advance.

I got this problem when installing CWM too. I believed the problem is in this line:
fastboot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img

instead, you could try this:
fastboot boot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img
When I did this, it worked. Give it a try. You could also try this little program, I changed CWM to TWRP with it.

Hello Hello,
Thank you for answering.
The command : fastboot boot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img doesn't work because there is too much arguments. It gives me that answer :
cannot load 'flash': No such file or directory
I retried the right command but still the same problem.
I also tried the small program given by this URL on linux : http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/4g-development/moto-g-4g-easyrecovery-toolkit-t2856710
My computer under Ubuntu fails to recognize the device. The device shown is empty.
I will try it on windows then come back here to tell you what happened.

I have the same issue with this program under linux or windows, it doesn't recognize my device. I have activated USB debug, tried under bootloader or with the phone normally started but nothing better.
only fastboot boot recovery.img works.

You have to flash the recovery with mfastboot from motorola when flashing partitions else you will get the size mismatched error.
Standard fastboot is only good for basic things such as getvar etc.
Always flash with mfastboot and it will not error out.
So the command will then be mfastboot flash recovery CWM-6.0.5.0-peregrine.img which should then work without issues

Hello, I have bought the phone less than one month ago.
It was directly on 4.4.4 after unpacking.
Have you tried renaming the CWM file? Maybe the "-" are a problem although I highly doubt it. Did you try re downloading the file? Running the command window as an administrator? Last resort, you could use TWRP, I'm running on this currently and haven't had any problems installing/flashing ROMs with it and imo prefer it over CWM.

I have tried both and they both have the same problem :/ CWM as well as TWRP...
Still no idea what happens.

same problem
I got the same problem using mac..
Impossible to install cwm or twrp also.. i cannot enter in the recovery mode any more
the boot loader is unlocked. I don't know whats going on

Did you find any solutions for this ?
I'm still stuck
Is it normal when entering the bootloader to have the message :
"Device is UNLOCKED. Status code: 3 "
Is it the right status code ?
Thank you

Back to stock

Yes its normal if you have unlocked your bootloader
To get back to stock, download a stock Fw for your device model and region, you can find a link for one if you enter the moto g section of this site and head to moto 4g lte android development section (only section specifically for peregrine model) unpack the fw files into your fastboot directory (windows) reboot your phone to fastboot mode (where u saw the status code) then press control + shift + right click to launch a command prompt window here (from within fastboot directory in windows) then copy and paste these fastboot commands 1 by 1 pressing enter each time until compete.
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot

So you mean, it is compulsory to have stock ROM in order to install the recovery ?
Because my problem is not to return to stock, it is to install a proper recovery (CWM or TWRP) in order to boot on it without my computer.
Thanks for your help

No but I think your problem is you have corrupt the recovery partition size maybe through bad flash or something so ur unable now to flash a recovery as the partition size is for different device or damaged and flashing cwm will no longer work as the cwm image is too big or too small for the allocation assigned to it as the devices core partition table has changed (can happen when u flash something for the falcon when you have a peregrine), I would flash back to stock via that method to restore to stock partition sizes and then reroot and flash cwm again after, just a guess from my own understanding.

Guys I had the same trouble installing the recovery with the mismatched partition size message. This message is normal and the recovery is already installed on your device. The problem i had when selecting the recovery with the following black screen was that I used the Power Button instead of the up Button.
5) using volume down scroll to recovery and then use volume up to select

Hi,
The same boot loop error also I encountered , and here is how i solved it.
1. First U need to download this tool -> HONOR_6_and_6Plus_Multi-Tool
2. run the Honor6MultiTool.bat
3. it will ask to install universal ADB driver. follow the instruction and install
4. then 6th option will be UNBRICK, Enter ur choice: 6
5. Then u follow the instruction
After that the phone will boot.
If any problem will occur do comment below.
All The Best!!

it enters fastboot but still the device wont boot
can you tell me the commands to flash all files from the update.app from fastboot
maybe that will solve the issue

DOWNLOAD stock firmware (update.app) extract from it Recovery.img system.img boot.img cache.img cust.img.and userdata.img. then turn your mobile in fastboot and connect to usb, open CMD in PC and write CD "path to adb.exe", when you are there, copy extracted files there too and write in CMD this lines:
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot flash system SYSTEM.img
fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot flash cache CACHE.img
fastboot flash cust CUST.img
fastboot flash userdata USERDATA.img
when you will finish write FASTBOOT REBOOT and that's all

i tried this already but it did not work
i think flashing all the 22 files from the update.app file will work
or i have to wait till the lollipop update file comes out
my bootloader is unlocked so will my device be repaired under warranty(huawei didn't mentioned voiding warranty by unlocking bootloader while getting the code)

Flashing factory image didnt return to stock!

I had on my nexus 5 custom recovery, custom kernel (franco) and paranoid android rom (rooted). I wanted to get back to stock and flashed factory image lollipop 5.1 doint this
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader <bootloader-filename>.img
fastboot flash radio <radio-fileame>.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot
When i rebooted i noticed that everything was fine but i had paranoid android rather than stock rom! What happened?

You didn't erase anything and it's hard to say without a log. Follow method 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
Or use the built-in script (flash-all).

Try to use H6 multitool ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/honor6-multi-tool-t2963060 ) and reinstal stock recovery. You have to start the program using Honor6MultiTool.bat file and folowing the instruction on the screen. The program will get the recovery file from net automaticaly. After that try to write using the steps from 2nd post or use the same H6 multitool with unbrick solution.

Hi there,
seems like you lost root access when you flashed stock hence you keep getting the error try re-rooting your phone and then flash all files mentioned again,maybe that will help best of luck hope this helpsDont forget to thank
