[GUIDE]Newbie Resource Thread[TWRP][ROOT][Restore to Stock]

Hi All, I am starting this thread with the very reason to educate and help newbies as well serve as a resource guide that could be used by all.
In this guide I will be explaining about the following:
1) Unlocking Bootloader
2) Flashing TWRP and Rooting
3) Restore to Stock
4) Remove unlocked bootloader warning
Please let me know if anyone needs more info/help on anything. I will try my best to help you and add it to this guide so everybody benefits from it.

Unlocking Bootloader
>>> Unlocking Bootloader will overwrite any data stored on your device, backup your files before proceeding <<<
Unlocking Bootloader:
1- Register
Head to Motorola website and register your E-Mail ID.
Open Setting on your device and go to About Phone. Next, tap 7 times on Build Number and get the Developer Options unlocked.
Head back to Main Settings Menu and go to Developer Options and switch the 'Allow OEM Unlock' option.
2- Getting Unique ID for each device
Reboot to Bootloader (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).
On your desktop, open a command prompt or terminal, and go to the directory where you installed the Android SDK tools (or make sure mfastboot is in your $PATH)
At the prompt, type
Code:
$ mfastboot oem get_unlock_data
You will get something like this:
On a Windows Desktop, the returned string format would be
Code:
$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data
(bootloader) 0240540162024205#4C4D3556313230
(bootloader) 30373as313630330df332323239#BD00
(bootloader) 8A672BA4746C2CE0a328A2AC0C39F95
(bootloader) 1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
(bootloader) 0000000
On a Mac OS Desktop, the returned string format would be
Code:
INFO0A40040192024205#4C4D3556313230
INFO30373731363031303332323239#BD00
INFO8A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F95
INFO1A3E5#1F53280002000000000000000
INFO0000000
Paste together the 5 lines of output into one continuous string without (bootloader) or ‘INFO’ or white spaces. Your string needs to look like this:
Code:
0240540162024205#4C4D355631323030373as313630330df332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE0a328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000
3- Unlocking the device
Check if your device can be unlocked by pasting this string in the specific field on the Motorola website, and clicking “Can my device be unlocked?”
NOTE: If your device is unlockable, a "REQUEST UNLOCK KEY" button will now appear at the bottom of that page. Click on it and wait for the unique code to be sent to your mail.
After you got the code type the following :
Code:
mfastboot oem unlock <code>
and wait your device to reboot !

Flashing TWRP and Rooting
Flashing TWRP:
>>> Flashing TWRP or Rooting will void your warranty. Please ask anything before doing, if your not fully confident on what to be done. <<<
Get the TWRP image file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...p-twrp-3-0-2-2-recovery-moto-g4-plus-t3386586
Next, get the adb and mfastboot from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5jlU9JnLAZGbVU0UzJ3N3p4X2M/view?usp=sharing
Unzip the file and place the image file inside the extracted folder.
Reboot to Bootloader (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).
Open a new command prompt or terminal window and do the following:
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery twrp_*version*_athene.img
Rooting Device:
>>> The old guide is outdated. Will be updated shortly. <<<

Restore Stock Firmware
>>> Please know your model number properly. I am not responsible if you flash the wrong firmware. <<<
NOTE: Flashing the wrong firmware may only leave you with no RIL temporarily but always be careful.
Flashing Stock Firmware:
1) Download the correct firmware for your device from http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27
2) Download adb and fastboot from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5jlU9JnLAZGbVU0UzJ3N3p4X2M/view?usp=sharing
3) Extract the firmware into the folder containing abd and fastboot.
4) Reboot the phone into Bootloader (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).
5) Execute these commands and make sure you receive an 'OKAY' after each command.
Code:
mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
mfastboot flash oem oem.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 system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot erase customize
mfastboot erase clogo
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
mfastboot reboot
OR
5) You can use the script I have attached below(Windows only) to flash it for you. Just download the zip and extract it into same folder and run it.
Device will now Reboot into Stock.

>>> Irritated by the Unlocked Bootloader Warning? <<<
Download the attached file.
Download adb and fastboot from here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5j...ew?usp=sharing
Extract the downloaded file into the same folder as adb and fastboot is extracted to
Open a command prompt and type in the following:
Code:
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
Reboot

Check my previous post. I have already provided the link for you. I am pretty sure if you flash it, it will solve the issues. I had the same issue few days back. It is confusing their naming convention for the file. We have XT1643 and there are lot of files that refer to XT1643. Technically, it is the same device but with different radio(you might have flashed the uk firmware or the eu firmware, maybe). I know its a bit confusing but for now just download the link I gave you and you will be back to normalcy. Peace

will the phone be under warranty if I restore the "stock firmware"?
If not, is it possible anyhow to regain phone's warranty?

Moto X Pure perfect update to Nougat.

Guys, tired of waiting for Nougat update on my Moto X Pure I took a route and never regretted. I converted my Pure edition to Style RETEU.en and went all the way to Nougat, without any hiccup.. Phone is as smooth as was with Marshmallow version. Below I will describe all the steps for successful update to Nougat. Skipping the details that we all know of. REMEMBER: You do at your own risk and I am not responsible for any of your mistake (Complete each step exactly. They are simple)
1. Get your bootloader unlocked as we will require it once, to take a nandroid backup for safety.
2. Install TWRP 3.1.1.0 to make a nandroid backup on phone.
3. Once backup is done copy it from phone to PC to make it safe. It will take some time as mine was 6GB in size.
4. Before rebooting into fastboot select "Do not install TWRP" in recovery.
5. Now using fastboot start flashing components from Official stock ROM of Motorola downloaded from dl.prazaar.de which is XT1572_CLARK_RETEU_6.0.1_MPHS24.107-58-5. This is Android Marshmallow base at 6.0.1. Not to flash components is boot, partition, Modem, fsk and recovery files. Make sure you flash rest of files including all the sparsechunks. Commands can ne found elsewhere on the forum.
6. Reboot into recovery and clear cache and userdata partitions. Reboot normal now.
7. Phone will start the setup like after factory reset. Just skip restoring your personal data by answering No to save time. But let it complete whatever else it do. Now "About phone" will say device is Moto X Style and build is MM 6.0.1 RETEU.en. This is just fine. Phone converted (No GSM signal is no worry at this time).
8. Try System Update. If update is available fine, otherwise we do it manually to take it to MPHS24.107-58-13 (required as Nougat pre-requisite).
9. Download Blur_Version.24.221.5.clark_reteu.reteu.en.EU from dl.prazaar.de. This is MPHS24.107-58-13 update. Copy it to root of Phone memory and reboot to recovery and pick Apply update from SDcard. The update will happen smoothly.
10. Again boot and skip Android setup. About phone will say your current build version.
11. Now download and copy Blur_Version.24.231.13.clark_reteu.reteu.en.EU from dl.prazaar.de into root directory of your phone.
12. Boot into recovery and choose Apply the file from SDCard. WOW this is Nougat update. It will successfully complete the update.
13 Download Last official Clark MM stock ROM from Motorola website and open the zip file to extract NON-HLOS.bin and fsk.mbn and flash it from fastboot in the standard way.
14. Go into recovery and clean cache and userdata partitions
15. Boot normally to be greeted by Nougat firsttime setup.
16. Congratulations. You have Nougat and Moto X Style.

No links to files?

You have not read it completely. I have mentioned download source which is dl.prazaar.de for all the files. Since each file is Stock ROM or blur version and greater than 1GB. What is the purpose to attach them here? The site is well know to carry Style firmware.

What about ota?

There are two files I mentioned that starts with the name "Blur_Version". These are always OTAs!!! You apply through Wifi or SDCard, what is the difference?

You can do backup with twrp and upload it for them.
Boot(before root)+system only.

Root is not required in my steps and TWRP not installed permanently (See my steps).

I know. I have xt1572, don't need.
For others you can do backup and upload it. All what they need: boot+system partitions.
For Backup & restore:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Anyone who want restore should do own backup and copy yours into the same folder.
Into twrp works MTP.
GOOD LUCK FOR ALL.

Out of curiosity... why go through this when its "easier" to just root and flash DU or LineageOS? Is the "stock" nougat running that much more smoothly? Its 7.0 with an old security path right? The latest versions of DU and Lineage are 7.1.2 and have up to date security patches.

Very simple. people like me don't want to loose Moto Action, Moto Display and Moto Voice. You loose all that in custom roms. I tried Lineage in my wife's Moto X 2014 a month ago. Frequent reboots, crash and reboot during video recording etc. This after several months of constant updates. Stock ROM do not have this type of issues. Atleast in the last decade not once any of my phone ever rebooted on its own. So I don't approve custom roms. If you don't mind, go ahead.

I debloated Stock Nougat before setting up my phone. If I give them my image then they will loose confidence of my steps cause several apps are not present. It is better to take standard update route.

Hi, downloading the necessary files to upgrade my phone and I see you show the same file to download in steps 9 and 11. Is this file being installed twice?

5. Now using fastboot start flashing components from Official stock ROM of Motorola downloaded from dl.prazaar.de which is XT1572_CLARK_RETEU_6.0.1_MPHS24.107-58-5.

I completed the steps up to this one. I want to make sure I don't accidentally flash everything.
So noob question, what files do I not fastboot? I know boot and recovery. Appreciate the help.

any possibility to flash custom recorvery/root on android 7? When im flashing recorvery via fastboot it says "permission deined"
nvm im dumb, misswrite a single letter in fastboot

I find this post a bit hard to read.
1). You are not really clear on exactly what to flash. You are close but not precise. If you are going to provide instruction like this you might need to be a bit more granular.
2). You mention the same file twice for both the pre-requisite patch and the nougat update. Are then both one in the same? This doesn't make sense.
I followed these instructions up to step #7. I flashed the following files:
logo.bin
BTFM.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.10
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.11
I left out the following:
boot.img
fsg.mbn
gpt.bin
NON-HLOS.bin
recovery.img
My phone is showing Moto X Style however my build # is MPHS24.107-58-5 and not MM 6.0.1 RETEU.en
System version is reporting 24.221.5.clark_reteu.reteu.en.EU retus
If I try to move forward with the MPHS24.107-58-13 update I get a digital signature error.

Before you do anything, read about the fastboot program on the XDA forum. There is no root or unlocked bootloader required.

Which Baseband does this come with? Currently on M8936_2020632.44.03.21.57R and wondering if worth updating baseband only (currently using LOS 14.1 as ROM). Cheers

OK thanks for the info, tried the above commands (twice now) and under phone status the baseband version hasn't updated, the fastboot commands executed OK. Any ideas? Has it updated just not the references to the version?

Android Pay requires a blocked bootloader. In LIneageos or another custom rom, the Magisk program hides Root and the unlocked bootloader.
Install the Magisk program on a stock android
Or
You are blocking the bootloader

Before flashing custom I made DD backup of all needed partitions. I didn't try it but I think they are safe.
All can be flashed with fastboot.

You can't untill will be flashable original stock for fastboot.
The same version or upper.
OTA - I don't think will be any more. But If you have last BL version shouldn't be any problems.
Btw
Did you flashed all partitions I uploaded? Only modem, fsg?

CAN NOT.

Hi,brother.could you please backup the bootloader file?

Only with flashfire app(rpm, sbl1, aboot, utags).
Flashfire says - restoring is most dangerous.

Thanks for replying.
My friend has a broken xs_EU with blocked BL by flashing stock_7.0BR,I thought that it would be rescued by flashing you files with gpt of the ota_patches if we got the file bl.
so, we must wait for the stock_7.0EU.

Will this work if I flash these files on my recently debricked (from downgrade) XS on MM 6.01?

Bootloader is still unlocked from the initial install of a custom ROM. But then I bricked it after downgrading from N to stock MM and installing OTA updates.
So just flash these files in fastboot and it should be on Nougat again unbricked?

I don't know.
There isn't bootloader & gpt into these files.
If your BL & gpt are Nougat you can flash it and later install ota updates @Murugan78

BL and GPT should still be N after the downgrade no? It went from MM to N with OTA when I bought it. Last month I installed Lineage ROM but decided to go stock again (and got bricked due to the N bootloader and gpt?). I get the prevalidation error when flashing BL and GPT from the official MM ROM so these must still be N if I am correct. This is my first moto device and I have done some custom things in the past with my S1, S2 and my OPO but never had these issues.
The sparsechunks are not necessary for trying to upgrade?

BL, gpt should be N. @Murugan78

And I can flash the system.img as 1 file instead of all the chunks?

Yes
fastboot flash system system.img

Flashed the files and so far so good! Got an OTA update without problems. Tomorrow I'm gonna test if my SIM works and maybe remove the unlocked bootloader message.
Thanks a LOT!

I was long time at MM sources.
Yesterday, Luis Gonzales created Resurrection Remix 5.8.5 working on Nougat baseband.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...mix-v5-8-3-t3637204/post74686456#post74686456
So I updated my MXS to last N: 25.200-15-3
Before flashing custom I made DD backup of all needed partitions. I didn't try it but I think they are safe.
All can be flashed with fastboot.
System, boot, recovery with twrp too(flash from image).
All without root.
Kernel(boot) is untouched - without root - extracted from supersu backup.

You need it if you was on another version - 6.x or 7.1.2.

Just a question, I already have my xt 1572 reteu with the build version NPHS 25.200-15-3 like this dumped files, but I miss the October update, can I just flash recovery and boot.img from the dumped files in order to install the security patch? Thanks!!

Just installed June security patch (ALI)

Hey, I just installed June security patch on my Moto G6 and I gotta say this build is super smooth.
I’m getting more than 5-6hrs of SOT and yes DIGITAL WELLBEING IS A SYSTEM APP NOW.
I downloaded the latest firmware from here : https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/ali/official/RETAIL/
And flashed it via RSD Lite.
Don’t forget to hit thanks

No, unfortunately not. This is a full wipe/fresh install only. The same rooting method works, but it will have to be a fresh install.

Ok, thanks

Hello, I upgraded my phone through CMD commands in fastboot folder, but now I can't hear nor be heard in calls. I tried already intalling the NON-HLOS.bin from Stock ROM RETAIL OPSS27.104-92-4 and tried with the NON-HLOS.bin from the Sotck ROM from my region OPENMX OPSS27.82-87-8 too, but it didn't work.
Tried turning the phone on Secure Mode to see if it was a problem related with an app but it wasn't the case, also tried couple of times doing factory reset, but it gave the same result.
I was on the RETAIL PPSS29.55-34-1 with NON-HLOS.bin from OPENMX OPSS27.82-87-8 and the calls were fine. Could someone help me, please?
I did all of above with locked bootloader.
Edit:
Now I unlocked bootloader to downgrading to RETAIL PPSS29.55-34-1 with NON-HLOS.bin from OPENMX OPSS27.82-87-8, and it didn't work so I relock bootloader.

As you unlocked the bootloader your warranty is gone, plus I didn’t try with CMD commands, I used RSD Lite, so maybe try a fresh install again if problem persists.

It don't recognize the device
Nevermind I just needed to connect the device in another port, also now the calls work thank you @aaryan1596

How do I install this without RSDLite? The program doesn't work for me at all (v5.7 on Win10), and I do not fully understand how to use fastboot/batch files to install the unpacked .zip file. Thank you for your help.
Edit: I was able to easily install this using Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Simply extract the contents of your .xml.zip file to your Minimal ADB and Fastboot installation folder. Boot your phone into fastboot mode (volume+power down) and copy and paste these commands (you can copy and paste the entire block and they will run sequentially):
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot erase carrier

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Using this method I was able to easily install to latest version onto my XT1925-6, which shipped with Oreo.

Is there any different between ROM with february security patch and this one (june security patch)?

Has anyone in the UK been able to download this update via system updates yet?

Just downloading via system updates, channel: retgb.

Well, I received the June 1, PPS29.55-37-4 OTA (retgb channel) at around 9:40pm (Mon 5th Aug, UK time). It took 12 minutes to download the 818.6Mb package over a 4G connection, and a further 26 minutes to install it.
Everything went without a hitch, and all seemed perfectly fine afterwards...
...however, having previously read about the problems reported here on XDA and on the Lenovo/Motorola community support forum regarding recent Pie updates, I decided to perform a factory wipe/reset immediately after the update. A tiresome chore to be sure, having to set everything up again aftwards, but it just seemed the prudent thing to do.
So now, some 19 hours later, my G6 is still working perfectly, with no obvious problems, and it does certainly feel smoother and more responsive than it's predecessor, PPS29.55-24, which I received at the end of March. And, yep, this new 'build' includes Google's Digital Wellbeing app integrated at the system level, so I guess that's something new to tinker around with.
Anyhow, just some thoughts regarding my experience of updating to this latest version of Pie.
Rgrds,
Ged.
