How many ways do we have to return to stock. I need to return to 100% stock. The return to stock tool works ok, but I have to flash the modem after. After all the flashing and screwing with my phone, my data and MMS are so messed up, I need to start over. I tried returning to stock last night, and went to MM, but still don't have MMS (but data is working again). Is there a stock image yet that we can flash?
Use your backup? That's really all there is other then rts tool.
I haven't had great luck restoring those either. I think I found a work around. If I use the return to stock tool, then flash the 5.1.1 bootloader and Modem, it seems to be back to stock with working wifi.
For what it's worth, if anyone else gets their data and mms really jacked up, here's how I fixed mine. Use the restore to stock tool. Then after that, you have to flash the 5.1.1 modem to get wifi working again, and I also flashed the 5.1.1 bootloader, because the tool was failing at the bootloader. Flash both in fastboot.

Where did you find the 5.1.1 bootloader? I was failing at the install at booloader as well after returning to stock. Maybe this is where my problem is.
I can't remember exactly. It was in buried in the middle of the 6.0 rooted/odexed thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...rom-stock-rooted-debloated-x1575-6-0-t3262242). But it's probably easier to just pull extract the image file from the EU l return to stock tool. Just copy it from their to your Android sdk folder to flash it as you would anything else.

Thanks for the reply. I got it working by returning to stick and flashing the modem file a second time.

I just bought a T-Mobile variant of the SGS3. I then successfully rooted it with the Toolkit from here:

Then, when I used to toolkit to remove the boot animations. This is when trouble starts. Now the phone flashes the Samsung Logo when I try and turn it on, but nothing else happens. I can get into download mode still.

I'm in the proscess of downloading the stock firmware tarball (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737855 ) but its PAINSTAKINGLY slow.

I'm used to flashing roms and whatnot but I'm not a dev... this caught me totally off guard since I thought I was using the S3 toolkit properly (and yes, it is the correct toolkit. I rooted successfully).
I made a nandroid right off the bat, but I can't boot into recovery and I don't think I can access the files any other way.
Thanks for any help. I'm in a panic right now

Should get you back to stock rooted. Grab file, put on desktop, extract here, fire Odin up, click pda an find the .tar file and hit start. Should get you back to stock rooted.
EDIT: OPPS! I just noticed this is for tmobile.. anyhow just grab a stock rooted .img/.tar file and run it in Odin. should get you back to stock rooted.

Thanks for the reply, but I already got it working! I got it back in to recovery after I flashed the insecure boot image via Odin again (the one that came with the S3 toolkit) and restored my nandroid.
And (to all) sorry for the newb post, I was in total panic mode, heart pounding, adrenalin rushing, it was intense haha. Its hard to think straight like that.
This is a nand that I created with twrp. It is completely stock and unrooted. By restoring this, flashing the stock At&t modem and flashing stock KXE21.187-42 recovery, you will be left with a complete stock unrooted kitkat Moto X XT1095 capable of taking the ota.

1. Place nand in the backups of your twrp recovery
2. Restore with twrp
3. Factory data/reset
4. Flash At&t modem (fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.img)
5. Reboot to fastboot mode
6. Flash stock recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery_victara_KXE21.187-42.img).
7. Reboot
If you want the OTA.... adb sideload (you can find the OTA file on another thread).
IF you follow the directions as I have laid out, you will have a completely stock, unrooted-fresh install of kitkat. You now should be able to safely take the ota using adb sideload.
This has been tried by myself multiple times successfully. This is only for the XT1095 variant. If you are crazy enough to try it on another variant, please post your results.
I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device. I will try and answer any questions as long as I have the time. Hit "thanks" if this helps.

Yes, it's basically a prerequsite for the ota to flash. If you have no plan on flashing the ota, then you can use the radio of your choice.

Not to sure what you are saying.
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.img
That's pretty clear to me. Im guessing if you can flash a recovery, you can flash the modem, performed by fastboot.

My pure edition, XT1095 came out of the box with T Mobile baseband / modem. Not sure why the ota would need AT&T (also had no issues sideloading the lollipop update)
I am pretty sure it is only required if you used the multitool which has a different modem included. This modem is not compatible with the 5.0 OTA.

Which modem? The modem I have posted here? If thats what you are talking about you havent any idea what you are talking about.
I have done exactly what ive posted here multiple times. Use any other modem other than this one and the ota will fail.
As far as why people are calling it the att modem confuses me as well.
The multi tool flashes a 55R while this modem flashes 57R.

I started this thread to return your XT1095 to stock unrooted, hence the title.
Since there are no factory images at the moment, I posted what worked for me.
Dont comment if you dont agree, but i assure you this method works just fine.

The modem included in the Multitool as I inferred. If you flashed back to stock or used the image from the multitool you get the invalid modem b00 error. After which you have to use the AT&T modem in order for the OTA to complete successfully.
the radio point is mute since graffixnyc posted the stock pure edition modem on his site. The modem image he posted is a direct backup from his brand new Pure Edition

Correct, the modem I have linked was directly from graffix.
holy cow downloads from Mega are crawling for me. I heard a rumor from a friend of a friend that a certain OTA from an un-said company for an un-said device is going out 'very soon' and I want to be 100% stock before it goes out. Just in case it's for the moto X.
can I ask how you got back to 100% stock? In your previous thread (TWRP Backup of Lollipop) you mentioned that you couldn't do a backup of stock. I guess I just want to know that your stock backup of 4.4.4 isn't an un-rooted 4.4.4. I'm looking for never-been-rooted 4.4.4.
got this to work last night.
working great! sideloaded the ota!
flashed the modem after sideloading the ota.
Official factory image is now available from Motorola! https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images

My 4.4.4 was rooted, and I just experimented with all the info that everyone was posting the day the 5.0 went live. I was able to unroot and flash a file that 0.0 had posted in the thread that graffix had started. Anyway long story short between that and experimenting with the recovery and modems I was able to get my 4.4.4 to take the OTA with no problems. Since the OTA checks file structure and recovery, modem, etc....I am assuming it is unrooted stock. The way I look at it, If the OTA will flash with my experiment, so should the actual release. That is just my logic anyway.
Thank you for putting this guide together. Everything worked flawlessly. Thank you.
Hello! Thank you for anyone can assist me.
I have a Moto X Pure Edition XT1575 32gb ordered through Best Buy because I work there.
I have run into an issue after flashing this modem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63574299&postcount=2
I was on the stock loaded SW, accepted the MM OTA, then unlocked bootloader, flashed recovery, and flashed Slim, and everything was fine.
I now tried the TruPureXMM ROM and flashed the modem that it said I had to. After the boot, it found WiFi, but had no messaging app, so no way to send texts, and would not receive texts when texted.
Since flashing that modem, I have flashed back to stock but can't pickup any WiFi networks.
I have tried restoring my backup as well, no WiFi.
So basically, if I run TruPure, I have WiFi but no text, and if I flash back to stock or my backup, I have text but no WiFi.
I truly believe this is a modem issue, and I need to find the stock modem.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
You should download .zip file that contains all stock files, unzip it, and find "NON-HLOS.bin", thats modem file that you need.
Now boot into fastboot mode (power+volume down), and from PC use "fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin"
Restart device, you should be okey now.
If you are looking for 5.1.1 modem, than you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/pure-firmware-tuff-wip-t3224833 under 5.1.1 - firmware!
For 6.0 I cant find right firmware file, but you can use http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...rom-stock-rooted-debloated-x1575-6-0-t3262242 this thread.
Also you always can go to stock by first thread, and later install MM OTA.
What about messaging app, I suppose, you can download it from playstore - Google messanger, it should work.

I have flashed the above mentioned ROM and everything is fixed! Thanks for the link buddy. I figured mix matching modems would be a no-no, just couldn't find a modem only thread. I will wait for M Kernel source to be released to run AOSP ROMs, until then, this is fine.
Thanks again buddy!

Hello!
First off, thanks for the previous help, it worked!
Now I have a different issue. I can run the ROM you posted earlier and have BT, but when I flash AICP, I have no blueooth.
I think I need to download the stock M ROM, extract the bluetooth and fastboot it.
Correct?
Thanks!
I've gotten no help at all with this. Very unlike this forum. My phone is a kltevew, which is straight talks version of a g900v. I need help, there are lots of great looking Roms that require you to have mm firmware I'd like to try!
Not sure why I'm getting g no responses on this. Surely someone must know something... The only response I got was not only not helpful but jerky and obnoxious. Doesn't anyone know how to upgrade the firmware on my phone? (And no, google has no answers for me on this.. I look everyday)

I do. Thanks so much for responding. Every time I try with Odin, a few different releases, it always gives me the error message fail. Can it be done with flashfire?
What stands in the log of odin when the flash completes?
Ill have to do it again to see... Be back in a bit!
I think it says FAIL! modem but I'll have to run it again... Brb
Last night I used flash fire to install firmware. That didn't get past the red Verizon logo, so I put twrp on it with Odin. Twrp showed it as dpd1, but it just wouldn't boot. So I wiped it once and flashed a ROM that requires mm firmware. Same thing, justbootloop. So I put stock back on it, then mokee 6.0.1. which works, I'm just not on mm firmware and all the great new roms are still unavailable to me.

Have you enabled the option to flash bootloader on flashfire setting?
What? No, I haven't... but do do right now. Thanks for the tip! Actually, where would I find it?
So would I do it in this order? Flash the dpd1 bootloader, then modem, them rom, then jrkruse patch? All in flash fire?

It's in setting of flashfire...but only do it if odin doesn't work because do it from flashfire is more riskiy...
1)do a backup
2)check the bootloader flash option
3)install the firmware with all the wipe except internal storage(it mean that flashfire delete /data excluding /data/media/0 (sdcard) but include it in your backup copy because you never know )
4)wait till reboot skip setup wizard "spamming" the next button then install the rom with flashfire or twrp
On the flashfire site i found this:
Flash bootloaders
"This setting controls if FlashFire will attempt to flash bootloader partitions. By default, bootloader partitions are only read and never written. Even when enabled, flashing bootloader partitions may not succeed - many devices have protections in place against the bootloaders being overwritten.
Please note that flashing bootloaders is extremely dangerous. Any bug, error, or failure may result in an unrecoverable hard-brick. Do not use this feature unless you know exactly what you are doing.
Due to the danger of this feature, it is automatically turned off every time FlashFire starts. You have to manually re-enable it every time you want to use it.
If you must flash bootloaders, it is advised to use a bootloader-based flashing tool such as fastboot or ODIN to do it, as these are the safest methods. OTAs may also update bootloaders, and though slightly less safe than fastboot/ODIN, it is still much safer than having FlashFire flash bootloader partitions directly."
So i suggest to try to flash the firmware directly from odin first

Redownload the firmware extract it again,factory reset your phone,and try to install the firmware,maybe it's a bad download
Should I be flashing a kernel too? Will it even start/boot without the right kernel?
find out if you phone is refurbished. to install stock ROM you would need the main board and boot to be the same model.
if it's not, then you just need to install bootloader/modem without full ROM. look around in xda for bootloader/modem.
Hi everyone, I perhaps kill my old lg g2 [R.I.P], but maeby you find a solution for that. This is my story.
Today I want to install MIUI 8 so i download one .zip file from this forum. Like always i do full wipe and then install ROM. everything be normal, ROM be installed and i started setting my new OS. After few sec, i can't go thought the setting cuz there be a error. I decided to reinstall system one more time, and this is that moment when I know I f**k up. Off my phone, wanna on TWRP and then i see i can't do anything, phone stuck in LG logo.
Any ida what to do?
Thanks for all ideas.

Right so I'm facing two problems with going back to stock method:
1) as i said, the phone won't boot up on flashing ANY version of d802 firmware (I've observed that in lg flash tool, where you flash tot files, shows that the phone's model number is d802at. So I'll try flashing a d802at fw for the last time and see if it works)
2) i try to flash an ls980 fw, the flash tool gives a model number error. (If flashing d802at fw doesn't work, then i guess i have to modify the hex data in the ls980zve.tot file and force flash it on the phone)
I'll give you an update after something has happened.
@ audit13 it is work!!! Thanks for your help! And I have one last question, I still have root acces and TWRP installed?
Glad it worked
You should be back to stock recovery and no root.
