[Q] Restore GPE US to sock

Hey,
So I've been searching for a few days now in the moto g section. I can't find any guides to restore my moto g GPE US version to stock. I found somewhat of walkthrough using the moto tool but I dont' have a windows machine to run that program. Is there another way to do this? Please let me know, also if I missed a post that shows this info please reply with the link.
Thank you!

If you don't have a Windows machine, it'd be good if we knew what you do have in order to guide you properly.
Flashing back to stock on Linux is quite easy once you've got the tools set up. I would assume MacOS X is similar provided you can get a suitable fastboot or mfastboot binary. (I recommend having them in a directeory listed in your $PATH variable with proper permissions for USB so that you don't need to sudo to use them.)
If you've got no computer, but can boot in a modified recovery, it should be possible to flash the entire stock ROM with that. You wouldn't be able to relock the bootloader though, if that's something you were aiming for.

Worked like a charm, I was flipping out trying to figure this out b4 I had to work, your a life saver!!! Btw is there any downside to this process, like can I re-lock the boot loader and is it still possible to get OTA updates?

OTA updates work regardless of whether your bootloader is unlocked or not.
It's root and other changes to the /system partition that'd prevent such updates from working.

No no downsides
You can re-lock the bootloader
And you will get OTA updates as well, even if your bootloader is unlocked!
Just have stock recovery

Help Needed: Unbricking Moto G 4G (Peregrine XT1039 )

Hi
I have soft-bricked my Moto G 4G, as the title says. I decided to use the nandroid backup from my working Moto G 4G & flashed it to the one which has now since bricked. (kinda lazy XD)
Its also locked too -_- So i can flash signed motorolla img's but unsigned do not work. I have tried to find official 4.4.4 images but I've had no luck in flashing them. So now i get constant error messages when trying to flash the same system images, or boot.img to the system.
I have access to Fastboot & only Fastboot. The issues i have are:
When booting into fasboot i get:
Fastboot Reason: UTAG "bootmode" configured as fastboot.
When trying to unlock the bootloader, however i can get the unlock token by doing "fastboot oem get_unlock_data then paste that on the motorolla site.
But as soon as i type in fastboot oem unlock i get the following message:
fastboot <bootloader> oem unlock disabled!
I also get:
Invalid PIV signed system image
hab check failed for system
I can flash the following successfully:
gpt.bin
motoboot.img
logo logo.bin
fsg.mbn
NON-HLOS.bin
Because I've flashed the other system's rom to this phone, ALL the information under "Barcodes" is identical to that of my working phone. Even the fastboot code thats identical too. So even when i request a unlock token, sure it works, but the site thinks that its a call from my working phone so it gives out the incorrect unlock code, so thats why i think the unlock is disabled. Either way this is a really irritating situation, which i am having trouble trying to solve.
I wonder if I'm going to have to flash a blank flash to get it back to working state.
Hopefully if i can get the bootloader unlocked, id be back in business. :fingers-crossed:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Moto g errors when updating to lollipop

Hi had a moto g xt1039 on 4.4.4 yesterday finally got the official 5.0.1 update however my phone is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked. So I got the official stock from for my phone checked it and the cid number too. Followed the instructions on here to flash the rom back on. This all worked and a clean install was done. After a few apps updated the lollipop update message appeared again so downloaded and installed it however during the install it errored, restarted and once I was back on the phone dashboard it said an error occurred no changes made. The bootloader is still unlocked. Could this be the issue? If so how do you relock or what could cause the install error issue?
Many thanks

update so far while waiting for someone to help fix this current issue i have done some research on how to lock the boot loader. I found a guide on here to do so and the commands within mfastboot was as follows:
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot oem lock
So i executed this and now the problem is after restarting the phone the screen is stuck on the warning boot loader unlocked screen and wont move. Te phone still can boot into boot loader and communicates with the pc.
So i re flashed the firmware with the original guide ( without the fastboot oem lock) but still stuck on the boot loader unlock screen. Do i have to input a command to unlock the boot loader again?
Need this sorting asap as its my only phone for communication and i currently don't have a functioning phone.
Many Thanks

Unlocked Bootloader is not the reason for your original issue. I have never 'relocked.'
Download the XT1039 Fastboot Firmware image here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61445658&postcount=654​Use mfastboot to flash the files: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567719065
TIP: Do not include the follow command for your own safety: mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

Preloader Validation Failed Although Bootloader Is Unlocked, What Gives? Moto G Pure XT2163-4

Have soft bricked phone. Moto G Pure Ellis XT2613-4 I was going through the root process and forgot to fastboot flash boot boot_a then boot_b instead I just tried fastboot flash boot boot.img
been awhile since I tried to root a phone forgot a bout the commands. When it was stuck in the bootloop I thought maybe I flashed the wrong image and tried flashing dtbo.img (lol). That just made it go into a faster bootloop. Im running linux so I cant really download and use any of the fast fixes like Motorola family rescue without having to do a lot of extra work with emulators so I was trying to find a fastboot solution since I know there has to be one.
Anyway I am trying now to flash with flashall -w from stock ROM and I'm getting cannot find or read android-txt
then if I try the usual fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
I get preloader validation failed but my bootloader is unlocked with the OEM key that Motorola sent me. I get the warning bootloader is unlocked warning and everything.
version-sysimage-git_pi-dev-sdk_gphone_x86_64-userdebug=4833817
I think but I'm not sure about this this is unfamiliar territory Is there anyone with experience on this am I in the right direction at least?
