Pre-requisites:
a) Download and install Motorola Moto EDrivers
b) Download and extract the stock Firmware of your choosing
c) If the firmware file you downloaded is a .xml.zip file then download Motorola Fastboot View attachment 2427667 (attached to this post) and extract the .exe into the same folder as the stock firmware files (the same folder as the .bin and .img files). If your firmware is a .tar.gz file then skip this step.
d) Get ADB (if you don't already have this, I suggest downloading and installing Minimal ADB and Fastboot by shimp208:
Direct Download

These are the original stock signed image files from Motorola it should work on all Moto E Variants.
Steps to restore stock firmware:
1) Reboot the phone into bootloader mode. There are 2 ways to do this.
I) The 'hardware' way.
a) Unplug the USB cable and power off the phone.
b) Press and hold 'Volume down' then power on the phone.
c) Connect USB cable to your computer.
II) The 'software' way.
a) Enable developer mode on the Moto E (Settings-> 'About Phone'. Tap 7 times on 'Build Number')
b) Enable USB debugging. (Settings -> 'Developer options' -> 'USB Debugging' -> check)
c) Connect phone to computer via USB, you should see a new ADB device detected and drivers installed.
d) Open "Minimal ADB and Fastboot". Type:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
You should see the Moto E bootloader screen with the following options:
Code:
Normal Powerup
Recovery
Factory
Switch Console [NULL: null]
Barcodes
BP Tools
2) Open a command prompt / terminal (Start -> cmd.exe in Win7) and browse to the folder with the extracted firmware.
In my case:
Code:
cd c:\falcon_retgb_user_4.3_14.10.0Q3.X-76-LGG-8_54_release-keys-cid7-Retail_GB
3)
Flash each of the partitions in sequence using mfastboot, you need to enter the following commands one-by-one checking that each one returns an [OKAY]
Code:
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
For Indian variants
Code:
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
[/HIDE]
Downgrading:
4) Wait, you should now be rebooted into a fully stock Moto E firmware.

FAQ
Q1: Will this work on locked bootloaders?
Ans: Yes as stock firmwares are digitally signed by Motorola.
Edit post as per the device.
There's Moto G written everywhere instead of Moto E.

#1 Thanks For your Guide
#2 I've corrected all the things in the OP post.
The system.img filenames can differ depending on the version of the firmware. For example with the 'O2 UK' firmware the commands would be:
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2

Update Details:
Code:
v22.11.6
Android Version: 5.0
Build Number: LXB22.39-6
Are you sure? cause the file name is "Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuglb.retuglb.en.US.zip"
Any chance of this working on XT1068?

Yes, he is sure because the filename naming scheme used by Motorola automatically renames any update to the name of the firmware currently installed.
KennyWuLee, had 21.11.17 installed while he downloaded the update and that is why the filename is "Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuglb.retuglb.en.US.zip"

Sounds like your on a XT1063. This is what I did when I was in the same position as you. I restored my Nandroid of KK. If you have a all stock copy then you should be better then I was & about to skip a few of these steps. I found a system dump on here of the stock system & started pushing the files I knew I removed. Actually I used ES File Explorer & done a select all, copy, paste. You get prompted to ask what to do about files that are already there. Check apply to all & choose skip. This left me with a audio file that was replaced & had to be change back. You should make a new Nandroid to save your work to this point. Flash the stock recovery & run the update.zip. mine installed fine with the unlocked bootloader & root.
L is really buggy tho so be warned.
Sorry for the noob question.
I have the XT1063 and my system version is 21.11.14 titan_retla.retla.en.01 . Will this ota work on my phone?

You will have to flash via fastboot the XT1063 retugbl firmware in order to use this OTA file.
Check this thread, but consider making a full backup.

Anyone knows a Recovery, which is compatible with the new bootloader?
Go to development section and check recovery threads, it's clearly mentioned there with what it's compatible. Small hint, latest TWRP for example.

No, New TWRP isnt compartible with this update. I have tested it! I think the Problem is the partition, with the update the partition is smaller
I downloded it, i was GPE 5.0.1, tryed to flash via fastboot but the phone dont boot, its blocked @ bootloder unlocked image. the install seems to have no errors... any ideas?

Also you don't need to use superuser flashable by custom recovery,
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/chainfire-releases-android-5-0-root-moto-g-moto-x-2013-2014-editions/
For all Moto G variants, and works fine. Just turn on into fastboot mode, plug in phone (remember to have enabled USB Debuging in developer options), unzip archive and run windows bat to root device. I can confirm it's working as tested by myself. No custom recovery needed, just unlocked bootloader (obviously) and it's done.
I'm proposing to follow this guide for theaking

The HotROM Box - Early Build
Hey people, I'm spamtheboss, former known on Titan forum on Miui V6 development and also a few tricks I've posted there. But, I have a project called The HotROM Box, which consists in a tool that provides almost everything you need to restore your device in no time, basically an automator. All you need is your adb and fastboot and (for now) your Stock FW.
Main Features
Stock ROM Flashing method
TWRP Recovery Flashing method
Phone Reboot option
Reboot to Bootloader option
Reboot to Recovery option
Dealing with The HotROM Box
1.1: Install
-Copy all files to the folder where your Stock ROM files are located.
1.2: Usabillity
Windows: .bat interactive menu
Linux: .sh interactive menu using Zenity
1.3: F.A.Q (Frequently Asked Questions)
- Q: ROM flashing doesn't work!
- A: You're probably using mFastboot, an alternative version of fastboot. Install the original version and this issue will be solved (until I release a alternative version)
- Q: TWRP flashing doesn't work!
- A: If you haven't downloaded this file via xda official thread some stuff may be corrupted. TWRP image is uploaded with the script and you must copy those to your ROM folder.
- Q: ETA?
- A: Please, do not ask this kind of question. I'm not a dev, I just like (very much) to program some cool stuff, and if something on the code goes wrong, warn me and i'll fix it and release a new version as soon as I can.
- Q: Will you add more features?
- A: Always, this tool will grow with features as the way I improve my programming skills.

This tool looks to be amazing. I do however have the dumbest question ever. I'm use to using fastboot mode all the time. What's the exact steps after downloading THB? I have adb and fastbbot already and the stock rom in the same folder. Just wondering if I place THB in the same folder and run it from there? Thanks for any help.

Yes, it's a .bat file. You need the extracted ROM files and the Fastboot files on the same folder. It's pretty important to avoid brick the phone due to typos.

Yes, as Nelson said, you need to put the .bat file and the .img into the same folder of the adb, fastboot and the Stock ROM. I'll push an update today just to bring it all together instead of pasting it to some weird directory (like the people who installed adb within android studio); Stock ROM direct download can be mentioned too, but just on a future version.

would flashing stock rom clean the internal storage.?

Well, thank you!
Glad I extended to Osprey then. I'll try to update it weekly but can't promise. Also I will create a repo for it on Github very soon.
Yes, I'm not that known lol. But I did created this tool formely for Moto G 2014 some months ago, and now I'm porting to other devices. I hope you have a good experience with it, and if anything weird happens during tool usage, tell me here. I will be glad to help and update it.
I am waiting for it too. I think it will add or remove some file, and if my suspects are correct, I will have to update this tool in order to flash Stock MM firmwares too.

Hello unkushad, sorry for the late answer. Yes, it will wipe the whole internal storage, because Android needs to clean all the remaining data from the other versions.

They're missing because I removed them. This tool *for now* doesn't lock the bootloader. I will update it later to add this feature.

mm compatibility??
I'm new here, so sorry if this is a duff post.
I've done searches to no avail.
I bought my x play second hand. It's been rooted to a none stock android 7.0. I'm having issues with sd card being unrecognised. I've read that this could be a motherboard problem. I've checked it with a number of different cards that all work absolutely fine on other devices.
My question is, would it help if I returned my phone to stock then upgraded to the proper versions of android via the download direct to phone?
If so, is there an updated method? The one I tried to follow uses SDK but the instructions seem to be for an old version (it's a 2015 post) as the version of Android Studio I installed seems to be unrecognisable from what is being described. I'm not savvy enough with these systems to work out what I need to do instead.
Thanks in advance.
Another thought, would it be worth installing a different none stock ROM?
if you are rooted, install twrp and try other custom rom

Thanks for replying, I really appreciate the effort.
A lot of this is just words on my screen. I may be able to work out what some of this means given time. Which folders am I putting stuff in? On phone or PC? Also the top 2 http adresses are the same, is this intentional?
Thanks again.
my mistake. edited links. fastboot on pc and extract marshmallow pack inside adb folder. look at screen
Will LTE work on this MM 6.0.1 ROM?

Will LTE work fine with this MM 1-Oct-2016 ROM?
Also instead of running all these commands one after another, can you please point me to a .zip file, which i can directly flash it from TWRP like other ROMs? Thats much easier for me than running all these commands manually.

lte works normaly.
you need find backup from stock that can be installed from twrp. i don't have it. adb fastboot method is faster. and you don't read all my answers. you don't need use commands, just 1 file.
Really appreciate the links and steps!!! Thanks.

Currently I am running on LIneageOS Nougat 7.1.1. I am planning to do this downgrade to MM if I really don't like the battery backup on Nougat 7.1.1.
Really appreciate the links and steps!!! Thanks.

BTW, one question. How do you run that single batch file?
... restart phone to bootloader, connect to pc, and run this file.
Okay, I've now discovered that TWRP is already installed. Can I use any xt1562 zipped Rom or does it need to be specific to TWRP. I've put the zip on my phone ready to go and done a nandroid backup but wanted to check first before I hit install.
Thanks again
Hi,
I installed the PPW29.116-20 FIRMWARE for pie 9, it was working fine until I uninstalled magisk and now it will only boot to Fastboot mode saying "No bootable A/B slot".
The problem however it the device it no longer detected in adb to reinstall. adb devices returns no devices. This is odd as it was working fine before.
I have tried with both moto and universal adb drivers, changed cables and even changed computers - nothing it making it appear.
Any help would be much appreciated
Use Fastboot!

Requirements:
Fastboot (because you're in Fastboot mode, lol) download links for Windows, Linux, Mac.
fastboot images for your ROM e.g. from this thread
fastboot flash file (contains flash commands, see in thread above)
Just unpack the zip file then open cmd/terminal, navigate to that folder and enter:
Code:
fastboot devices
When output looks like this your phone is detected:
Code:
XXXXXXXXX fastboot
'XXXXXXXXX' is your phone's serial number.
Unpack and copy the images and flash file into the same folder as fastboot. The folder contains following files:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On Windows double-click 'flashfileNoErase.bat' (ROM thread).
Check for errors, press enter and the phone will reboot.
had the same issue before
i had the same issue happen to me i about freaked out because i thought i had really jacked my phone up but i found this app called Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant it is a life saver trust me. if this happens to you then just download this app and it will walk you through the rest it has a upgrade and a rescue option the rescue option reinstalls the stock rom and and restores evrything back to normal on your phone. definite must have when flashing roms to your phone. :good:

Phone of a friend suddenly died without any reason and wouldn't boot anymore. Tried this software out and it worked straight away. Requires a quick account registration however, but no biggie.
Thank you so much!
