Wanting to go back to stock on the nexus 7. I have downloaded the factory image but for the life of me cannot figure out how to flash it. I am in the bootloader and i've extracted the image to my adb and fastboot directory. there is a "flash-all.sh" file but I'm unsure what to do with it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I personally don't remember how to use the .sh files.
But open the file with a text editor such as Notepad++, and you'll see the commands the script will run. You can run them manually.
sh files are purely for Linux users (it's the equivalent of batch files in Windows). Just run the commands in the sh file in your command prompt (or alter them so that it matches your fastboot).
I downloaded the images and looked at the script. Here is what it does.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-3.34.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
<Wait for it to reboot>
fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jrn84d.zip
And you're done.
Thanks to all three of you. I am now back to stock. I appreciate the help at this crazy hour in the morning.

Are you still stuck? What is going on at the moment? What have you tried? PM me if you would rather.
Ya I'm still stuck....tried using wugfresh toolkit to get back to stock but drivers ain't working correctly. I'd rather just flash stock Google image if possible and be done.

Can you use ADB and Fastboot???
Do you know how to use ADB and Fastboot???
If you are stuck returning to stock, I have just posted a full guide in the development section. I just did it myself to make sure that it works. Enjoy.
According to Droid Life, the Verizon Soak Test that just came out today doesn't break root.
heres the link
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/2...o-x-rolling-out-to-testers-doesnt-break-root/
WARNING DO NOT UPDATE IF YOU ARE USING PWNMYMOTO, some people are confirming bootloops. I believe this "keeping of root" is in relation to motoroot, but as always, do so at your own risk.
looks like the editor of droid life was rooted via motoroot and it kept that. I believe we have seen that with other OTAs. maybe not as exciting.
Glad to hear this. Of course, I un-rooted when I got the invite a week ago because I figured I either wouldn't get the OTA or it wouldn't install if I stayed rooted. I wonder if I can root again.
Tried to update with PwnMyMoto installed
I saw that we could keep root through the update, so I went ahead and applied it. But, I forgot that PwnMyMoto also removed the recovery and replaced it with a boot image to allow writing to the system. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop-type thing. I can get it booted to the lockscreen, but then after 5-10 seconds, the standard android "Shutting Down" popup appears and the phone restarts itself. I know I could flash the stock recovery from the bootloader, but I want to keep system write. Is there a way for me to wipe my cache or something to get it to stop trying to apply the update? Thanks.

I would try to clear your cache, hopefully that works for you

Can't Clear Cache
The problem is I don't know how to clear my cache because I don't have a recovery. Is there another way to do this?

I believe you can also clear cache through TiBu
Be careful according to JCase the soak does break root. Check his twitter.
I'm in the same boat as above. Phone stuck in a bootloop. If anyone figures it out I'll be in your debt. Also rsdlite doesn't detect my phone so I can't even restore it that way. I'm hoping there's at least a way to restore to factory through adb but Google is coming up empty.

After your phone reboots hold down vol down + power to get into the bootloader. Now you can flash recovery through fastboot. Get the fastboot files from here if you don't already have it and the FXZ file for your carrier here. Now you can either just flash the recovery or flash the entire rom. If you just flash the recovery then the next time you boot it will reboot into recovery and run the update. If you choose to flash the entire rom then you will be wiping everything. To flash using fastboot you will first need to make sure the contents of the FXZ file are in the same folder as the fastboot files. Next open a command prompt and change the directory to the folder with your fastbboot files (eg. cd C:\). Now use the following commands to flash the FXZ files. If you choose to just flash the recovery then skip all the other commands except the command to flash recovery.
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin (optional: this is the boot logo)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize (optional: will erase any customizations if ordered through motomaker)
fastboot erase clogo (optional: will erase the custom boot logo if ordered through motomaker)
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
Thank you so much!! Worked like a charm as far as restoring my phone to defaults. The update is no longer showing in the software update section but that's ok. :good::good:

Anyone know how to cancel the reminder on the update? My phone downloaded the update, when I click install later it makes me set a time to be reminded. Don't really want to lose root for this update. Any ideas?

delete the download through Tibu and then freeze the ota apk in Tibu
what i did to keep root with pwnmymoto was make sure my phone was 100% stock then root using pwnmymoto boot into recovery and back up root with ota rootkeeper. then i temp unroot and reboot to bootloader and flashed the original recovery back and installed the update which aborted near the end so i did it again and it did the same thing. after rebooting it was the new software update with no root so i flashed the boot.img into the recovery partition and booted back to recovery to restore root which you may have to grant a app su permisions for it to stick when you reboot. so far its running good. idk if the update applied properly but it booted up and runs great

check out here. It is a big list but i think it has what things to freeze for the OTA. there is just one maybe two i think.

just checked that he only disabled motorola OTA. i am on Vzw and don't have an OTA yet so im not sure thats all you need to freeze. I read some where to freeze updater.apk as well. maybe its either or. I don't have updater.apk frozen but if motoOTA doesn't fix it then do updater as well

You have to.freeze the update.apk and if you've downloaded the update its in your cache.
Hi all,
on my Nexus 9, update to LRX21Q failed: After reboot, the android icon was shown with "error" below.
I suppose, update failed as my system is rooted with the method Chainfire posted in the development forum.
After an additional reboot, the previous firmware is still shown. The system does not offer the update anymore but claims to be up-to-date.
Any hints? Thanks in advance.
Maybe it's the modified kernel from Chainfire. Try to get back to the stock kernel and try again.
Download the factory image, flash recovery, boot, system & vendor.
Your software will be updated and you won't lose any data. You will lose root however.
I got the same error from OTA with no root. Only had 9 for 2 days, got OTA rite out of box no issue.
Yesterday for new build i get little error android icon upon reboot/install.
Obviously, something that is being changed by the "root" process is being checked DURING the update process. Probably a checksum on the boot partition. If it doesn't match, it bails on the update.
The likely reason for this is they acknowledge that you don't want to lose your root.
All it means is that you need to do the update manually.
It may be possible for a modified recovery to bypass this check, or possibly even be made to auto-root new boot images.
Thanks, guys. Will try as suggest above and post results.
Update: worked perfectly, needed to root again though.

Google for nexus factory image.
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Premium HD app
Update failed on me too. Completely stock
UPDATE:
Apparently *some* devices didn't get the recovery updated with the last update (LRX21L).
The new update (LRX21Q) requires the newer version of the recovery to install.
Google really messed up the launch of the Nexus 9 with all the HW/SW quality control issues
Serious f#ck-up from Google really
Interesting thing I noticed: I restored factory images manually in order to unroot and the OTA was no longer available. I verified I was still running on L. I manually installed the update and it went in just fine.
Now waiting on the root package to be updated for the Q kernel. You can re-root but you will be running on the L kernel, not the Q kernel.

This is a guide that is strictly for those who are as impatient as I am to get Lollipop on their Moto G (2014). I know there are several guides for folks in the US, and other countries as well, but currently there is no OTA for Canada yet. We are literally left out in the cold. So, I thought I would put a collaborative guide together so the Canadians can enjoy some 5.0, too!
First and foremost, if you F up your phone, that's on you. This will void your warranty, and I am in no way responsible for any stupidity you conjure up during the process.
I have only tested this on the XT1064, which is the single SIM US/Canada model.
The issue when trying to simply follow the upgrade guide for the XT1064 is that the OTA file looks for a 4.4.4 variant of Android that needs to be the same region as where the OTA came from. If you try to install it on the Canadian versions, you will get an error. So, here goes:
1. Unlock your bootloader. Follow this wonderful guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...wip-unlock-bootloader-moto-g-2nd-gen-t2875728
2. Download the US version of 4.4.4, it can be found here: http://www.filefactory.com/file/2ygnt0x45vcr/RETUAWS_XT1064_4.4.4_KXB21.85-17_cid9_CFC.xml.zip
3. Extract the above file to the same location you installed Minimal ADB in the first step (C:\Program Files(x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
4. Turn your phone off and disconnect it from the computer. Press and hold the volume down (-) button and power button to get into Fastboot mode. Connect your phone to the computer.
5. Run Minimal ADB and run these commands:
PHP:
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_sparsechunk1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
I removed the modem commands on purpose, and I will explain why later.
6. Once the phone has rebooted, plug it in to the computer and follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/lollipop-moto-g-2014-xt1064-t2937361
You should now have Lollipop on your Canadian XT1064!
If you have issues with the WiFi or cellular, you may have to flash the modem commands again from the old file. I had to download the original Canadian ROM (http://www.filefactory.com/file/78znv8hx0tvt/RETCA_XT1064_4.4.4_KXB21.85-16_cid14_CFC.xml.zip) and using Fastboot flash the following:
PHP:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
After that I had no issues and everything seems to be working as it should. You can relock your bootloader afterwards if you like as well.
Thanks to the other contributors above, I was simply trying to put a quick guide together for us Canadian folks who wish to get Lollipop, too!
Cheers!
This is great - although I think I'm still "out in the cold." I have 11.24 and couldn't flash the above due to "downgrading." Unless I'm missing something... Any ideas?
This worked for me! Thanks for the awesome tutorial!

At which part do you get an error? Are you trying to use a script to flash, or are you doing exactly step by step like mentioned above? I had the latest of the late on my Moto G 2014, so I know that these steps work on it.
Is your bootloader unlocked as mentioned above?

Yeah - I'm not sure what the problem was - originally it wouldn't take the US ROM due to a downgrade error. Tried it again, after a factory reset and for some reason it went through. Flashing Lollipop and the modem after was no issue at all - so good to go now. It's beautiful.
Thanks for the follow-up.

Just a tad bit curious I also have a Wind Mobile Moto G2 and i'm just wondering how you unlocked the bootloader in the first place. If you could please share the process on how you did it that would be great.
Anyone know how we can get the LP bootloader on the Canadian version?
I'd like to be able to update my CM12.
Thanks!
Awesome
I'm on Bell &
everything is working 100% radio/wifi/bluetooth all good

This is a great guide. But I'm wondering if we've been given any explanation on why Canadian Moto G's aren't getting OTA updates? It's April and my Moto G is saying up to date with 4.4.4. It's from wind if that matters.
I understand we can do this work around. I'm just trying to understand why we're not getting updates.

But what about the people that bought their phones from Staples. It's unlocked and not associated to any carrier. They are directly under Motorola and still no update at all. Phone are getting 5.1 update already, but we're still at 4.4.4
What's so different in the Canadian market from the US one that the update can't come fast? Specially if the phone is not associated to a carrier and the update should come directly from Motorola
Return to stock - Moto X 2014
What you need:
Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Stock ROM Alternative 1 (Faster option)
Stock ROM Alternative 2 (Downloads speed are super slow if you are not premium)
Moto fastboot (mfastboot.exe) (This one is only needed if the file system.img is too big to flash (More than 500MB))
Steps:
Connect your phone to your computer and make sure to have "USB Debugging" enabled (About phone > Tap several times "Build number" > Go back > Developer options > Enable USB debugging)
Make sure your phone is at least 50% charged
Open ADB cmd (MAF32.exe)
Run this command to make sure it recognizes your phone.
Code:
adb devices
After it recognizes it, run the command (It should reboot into bootloader)
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Unzip the downloaded STOCK ROM into the same folder as where you installed minimal ADB (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot)
Open the "flashfile.xml" file with any text editor
The file tells you how to flash the files into your phone

The sistem.img part was a big file divided into 9 files about 250MB each. If your system.img is bigger than 500MB you'll need to use mfastboot.
Do the commands one by one.
After you are done with everything, reboot and it should say in the Status: Official
EDIT 24/04/2016:
- Added faster alternative download to stock ROMS.

What you need:
Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Stock ROM (That's the only download page with like all the stock ROMs, downloads speed are super slow if you are not premium)

the easiest way is using RSDlite and chose flashfile.xml to flash. Done !

Not everybody uses windows. I am a linux user, so no RSDLite is available. Also not available for mac. This guide is great for people who can't use RSDLite or need to do specific steps only instead of blindly trusting RSDLite.

Thanks, I'm also not fond of flashing ROM images via program scripts, I prefer the old step by step method. :thumbup:
Any word on XT1095 or XT1097_retca-retca? How freaken hard is it to capture an OTA or factory image these days?
I still get "Software status: Modified"

Also, RSDLite does not work in Windows 10.
Thanks for tutorial.
Is this for Stock 6.0 Firmware : VICTARA_RETEU_XT1092_6.0_MPE24.49-18_cid7_CFC.xml.zip

well, it's got all the right words and numbers (although the one I'm running from the TWRP method thread is MPE24.11-18, and this appears to be MPE24.49-18). I'm downloading it now - has anybody else tried it?

The latest version that I see is the 6.2.4, and does not work in Windows 10.
There is another version?

I think "Modified" means you unlocked the bootloader, right?
I used to successfully update my xt1095 to 5.1 by these steps:
unroot by using the uninstalling root function in the SEusers, and flash the stock recovery.img back.
download the OTA update, and let it flash my phone automatically.
got a stock 5.1. then you may do whatever you want.

RSD Lite works perfectly in Windows 10.
I followed these steps, and reflashed to 5.1-21.3, then update to 21.6 (security patch).
Now I'm running 6.0! The OTA works!
We def need to get this stock image re-upped, because I could get gray hairs waiting for this to download... Anyone have any other links? Thanks
help!!! I downloaded the recovery image from the official motorola site, i have system image of 2 Gb and have no idea about how to flash the system image. I have a folder called windows(which was included in the recovery image zip that i downloaded) that folder contains a fastboot.exe file so is that the mfastoot file?If yes then how do i use it?
EDIT- Solved!

Can confirm, this is the real deal. Works a treat, and none of those RPC errors that plagued me on the TWRP backup image.
I am on Brazilian frimware with 6.0 now on my device, but my actual model of the device is xt 1092 Indian version.
I want to go back to Indian frimware. Have anyone tried downgrading from 6.0 Brazilian frimware to 5.1 Indian frimware, is it possible? Is full image of 6.0 out for xt 1092, if so please share the link.

Thnx for the info m8.
Could you upload it to something that is faster then filefactory perhaps? Cause this **** is SLOW
Thnx in advance
Cheers
Edit: it is also available here: https://mega.nz/#F!ow8igZRL!Z7vmN8GOpez2bVMYDvEKkg!IkEVHRxS
With thnx to @salaesp for finding the MU folder
Used this firmware on my MotoX
VICTARA_RETEU_XT1092_6.0_MPE24.49-18_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
And was able to get back to the stock state. The Bootloader is still unlocked but that I guess I can lock via OEM lock way?
Since this is the latest one couldn't verify if the OTA works or not.
