2-how can I flash this rom? (if the answer up there was a YES)

Today I was able to flash the stock moto E firmware on my friend's moto E without unlocking the bootloader.
Does this mean the stock recovery identifies official firmware?
Is it possible to do the same on moto g 2015?

Yes. As long as it's factory stock firmware it will flash on a locked bootloader phone.

@alfick3 I know this thread & post are really old but...
How does the phone recognize that it's stock firmware? Is there any way to fool it & flash different firmware?

Wow! You're right about it being old. It's been a while since I had the Moto G, but from what I remember, the stock recovery recognized the stock firmware because of it being signed, or something like that. I don't know if it can be fooled.

On a Motorola device with a locked bootloader, fastboot will recognize and allow installation of an official stock firmware package which is the same or a newer build as the firmware last installed on the device. In other words, downgrading is not permitted with a locked bootloader. It's not the stock recovery that is "recognizing" the stock firmware package, but rather the /aboot bootloader partition. Stock recovery recognizes and permits installation of signed OTA update packages, but not entire firmware packages Official firmware packages are installed using fastboot mode or RSD-Lite. As far as "fooling" your device into flashing an otherwise unauthorized firmware package, yes it has been done but is an extremely tedious and risky process. The process involves intentionally hard bricking your Moto device in order to trigger QDLoader_9008 mode. From there, QPST/QFIL is used in conjunction with a firehose program protocol to push the firmware package to the device. This method has been used to root a number of Moto devices that are unsupported for bootloader unlocking. Again, it's rather tedious, complex, and requires a rudimentary understanding of Linux and Python. A locked down bootloader on a Moto device presents a considerable obstacle in the way of rooting, modding and customizing the device. As a good rule of thumb, if you want a Moto device you can easily customize, root, flash, etc., always get a device supported by Motorola's bootloader unlocking portal. Moto devices branded by Verizon, AT&T, Straight Talk & Cricket are notorious for locked down bootloaders. Sprint, Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile & T-Mobile branded Moto devices are known generally to support bootloader unlocking. And, of course, factory unlocked and developer edition Motorola devices support oem unlocking, rooting and customizing.

@Viva La Android Hello friends ,does that rule apply to other android devices with Stock Firmware,Locked bootloader and Stock recovery as well ?
Does reflashing the same ROM i.e going from stock firmware of an android version and SKU to stock firmware of the same android version and SKU wipe user data ?
Thank you
In general, yes it does. Some manufacturers configure device bootloaders where downgrading is permitted while in a locked state. For example, many MediaTek-based devices can be downgraded via the SP Flash Tool, even with a locked bootloader. And virtually any devices with an Allwinner chipset can likewise be downgraded using proprietary flash tools. But as a general rule, on a bootloader locked device, users are permitted to flash stock factory images.
On Motorola devices, fastboot flashing firmware packages will not result in a loss of data as long as you skip over this command:
fastboot erase userdata
This holds true whether you are flashing the same build or updating the build by flashing a more recent firmware package.

Can you send me a message please? Ineed to ask you about Stock ROM on moto g6 play
This is a link to the official Motorola firmware packages for all carrier and retail variants of the Moto G6 Play (codename: jeter). Be sure to select the correct model number/carrier variant from the list. If your bootloader is locked, choose the most recent build version for your device.

I have some quentions:
Hey guys, i was wondering if it's possible to flash a custom rom without unlocking the bootloader and without installing other recovery.
Or if it's possible to edit the stock rom , and add new features , mostly customize , and flash it with locked bootloader and original recovery.
I heard somewhere that in some cases it can be done with locked bootloader .
What happen if i try to flash a custom rom with locked bootloader and original recovery?
Could this brick my Moto G ?
Could the bootloader be locked forever?
I wan't to keep it fully original ( Bootloader and recovery) and install Android 6.0
If this not possible i want to edit the stock Lollipop 5.1.1 rom , add some features and tweaks , and flash it , would be possible?

Short answer: no!
Long answer: No - the only notable exceptions to this are the Bump-compatible LG phones like the LG G3, in which the ROM images/recovery images have a signature key appended to the images so that the bootloader will approve of said images and therefore said images can be installed onto an LG phone.
As a result of the way Motorola/Lenovo, HTC, Huawei, Sony et al works with custom image approval, the only way for you to install a custom image is to FIRST UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER, and THEN INSTALL A CUSTOM IMAGE!

Hi aha360 thanks for you reply.
:good:
I have one more question :
Is it possible to root my moto g without unlocking the bootloader?
Root would bring me useful features , but i don't want to end with a bricked moto g.
As you noticed i want my moto g as original as possible, but with some tweaks.
I didn't understand if i can edit stock lollipop rom and flash it.
I just wanted to have Android 6.0 in my moto g , but that is not possible with Moto by Lenovo

Sadly, no - I have done my research on this and unless the OS/ROM itself has an exploit that allows root access, you'd also have to unlock the bootloader just to have root access on a stock ROM.
It sucks, as I also ideally wanted to just get root access on a stock ROM on my newly-acquired Moto G LTE (Peregrine) so like I said, for all things XDA-friendly mod-related, Motorola/Lenovo et al says 'unlock bootloader and lose your warranty or STFU'.

The exploit looks like it is based on Jelly Bean and KitKat, so provided that you haven't upgraded, you could try it out, otherwise you are out of luck.

Then you're **** outta luck - you'll have to unlock your bootloader then.

There are already other threads on these very topics, no need for another. Closed.
YT links dead, so removed.
Device: SO-03J (Docomo)
Software: Android 8.0
Build number: 41.3.B.1.197
Status: Not rooted/Bootloader locked
Bootloader unlock allowed: No
Hi, I want to ask if my device here could potentially flash a global rom or any other stock rom variants that could enable me to unlock the bootloader. If can, I want to know which roms are allowed to be bootloader unlocked. I personally dont care if things will be buggy and wont work because as soon as I flash the roms I would quickly flash twrp and flash my chosen custom rom (If I could..and thats one thing again to ask. Can I flash any custom roms posted on XDA to my phone...?). As to why I'm asking this question is that I'm looking to boost my devices performance,latest android version(if possible),prolong battery,resolve heat issues and resolve the terrible wifi signal (keeps disconnecting and poor reception). I hope I've given enough information for this and sorry for the multiple questions asked.:laugh:
Same with my Xperia Z1 but still can't unlock the bootloader if bootloader unlock allowed say NO
yes. you can flash global rom via using sony flash tool
working fine..but bootloader unlock status still says NO
but flashing global rom makes more useful..
