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

So lock or unlocked bootloader doesn't matter?

Locked or unlocked, doesn't matter.

And one more question ?
is stock recovery and stock firmware same or different?

They're different, stock recovery comes with the stock firmware package

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

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.

Nope,the only thing you need is an unlocked bootloader,which I think you already have since you've oxygen os flashed.

Do fastboot flash boot boot.img
make sure its the boot.img from the rom you were/are currently running. The phone will reboot.

The answer to your question is No.

so how do you update to 8.1 while rooted? Thx
edit: figured it out. Edit the flash-all script and take out the -w and just have 1 space there. go into bootloader and flash it. reboot back into bootloader after and fastboot boot twrp then flash twrp and magisk.

No idea. Still trying to figure this out, currently trying to flash the .img like you said with the toolkit. But thinking maybe flashing the whole 8.1 ROM. Should work ......I think ...:cyclops:

you dont need the toolkit for that.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
let phone reboot then you can use skip toolkit. get the latest one that supports 8.1
Doing the above gets rid of the red triangle error "device is corrupt"

select the country youre looking for in the drop down. download samfirm or the frija tool to download it with (it literally takes 2 hours to download these without those tools) and flash it in Odin. And no, if you dont know where to get your files from and had to ask, then i seriously doubt that you can say that youre in the 1%
