Well im not sure about how to do that. Shall i just connect my phone with my pc and via fastboot just flash the new one (like i did with this one?). I mean im not sure on how to flash new recovery when i already got a custom one..

Yes fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
But TWRP can flash recovery.img itself. Switch to IMG instead of ZIP in the Install menu.

What is your bootloader version? It should be HHZ12h if you are running Android 5.1.1. It can create issues if you still have an old one.

Why would you like to do that??
That will wipe the device and will not get your warranty back..
For answer yes it should be possible to lock the bootloader

That's pretty much it. There may be the odd security fix or something here and there but they're not covered by change logs so we'll likely never know

You should be okay if you are running the stock recovery, no root, and updated Motorola Services app.

You can flash the recovery alone. You'll be able to get ota update, this is assuming you're unrooted and system is not altered in anyway.
You don't have to relock your bootloader either.

You'll have to find the stock recovery image and flash it. It'll be inside the stock package here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/firmware-firmware-lollipop-retail-t3017383
Else you'll have to find the image uploaded by someone,I can't upload as I'm on my phone
Then use fastboot to flash it
here's the command
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I'm really curious what file you flashed to which partition, its awkward that you can't exactly remember what you did to make the phone beeing like this.
Just by the way: is your bootloader still unlocked?
