[GUIDE] Restore Moto E Stock Firmware [UPDATED#2]

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
Disclaimer:
Follow these instructions at your own risk. If something goes wrong don't blame me!
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​

Hello guys, this guide is to help you to go back to Stock Firmware from any custom ROM or from Google Play edition firmware.
First, all credits go to the original owners of this guide, firs of all thanks to @Semseddin and his previous guide !!!

I started this thread because I have an Argentinian Retail Moto G, and downloaded the retail 4.4.2 firmware for Argentina, it comes in *.tar.gz format, but the guide stated above was for *.xml.zip firmware, so here it comes some differences.
DISCLAIMER: If your Moto G dies, explodes, turn into a zombie, goes berserk and tries to kill you, I'm not the one to blame. I've tested this tutorial and worked for me, if this does not work for you, keep googling about your problem. I can help you but its not my fault! Try this at your own risk.
THIS SHOULD WORK ON LOCKED AND UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS​
LETS BEGIN...
-1 - Make a backup of all the apps and media in your SD card because all of this erases and formats everything inside! So backup everything!
0 - DOWNLOAD and install Motorola drivers.
1 - Go to THIS PAGE and download a 4.4.2 firmware suitable for your device. In my case I searched and downloaded Retail Argentina 4.4.2 firmware. There aren't a lot of 4.4.4 specific firmware, so download a 4.4.2 firmware. After installing it, you can OTA to 4.4.4.
2 - On Windows, create a temporary folder in drive c:\ called "restore" so it would be like this: c:\restore ; and there using 7zip or similar, extract everithing inside the firmware file into this "retail" folder. (The firmware I needed was in *.tar.gz format but this can work if the firmware you get is in *.XML.zip format)
3 - Now, download the attachment I provide you (those three files are from 4.4.4 OTA ZIP). Extract and place them inside the "restore" folder and replace the files inside.
4 - Download "mfastboot-adb.rar" in the attachments. After that, extract everything inside the RAR in the "restore" folder.
Important: Everything has to be inside the "restore" folder, don't leave files inside extraxted folders. It has to look like this:
5 - Turn off the phone and turn it on in FASTBOOT MODE (When turned off tap and hold ON BUTTON and VOLYME DOWN BUTTON for 5 seconds and release them, you should see the FASTBOOT MENU) and plug the phone to PC via USB.
6 - Start CMD (Windows console) with Administrator rights (in Windows 7 click on Start and in the search bar write CMD and above right click on CMD and start it as Administrator) and type:
cd c:\restore
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will place the console inside the "restore" folder.
7 - Here starts the COPY-PASTE action. Don't miss ANY LINE here!!! Copy and paste this lines one by one, waiting to the flashing to finish and giving an OKAY as a result!!! If some of this commands gives a (bootloader) FAILED answer, try to repeat that command.
If you upgraded to Lollipop, you can go back to KitKat, but DONT FLASH THE COMMANDS I GIVE HERE THAT ARE IN RED COLOR. Use the RED commands only if you NEVER upgraded to Lollipop before:
mfastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
mfastboot getvar max-sparse-size
mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img -- (this one gives trouble on some devices, if that is your case, click below)
If mfastboot flash system system.img gives an error, you can try this commands:
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
If yoy have a Moto G LTE version, you can use this commands: (Correct me if these are not the right ones for LTE)
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk4
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata -- THIS ERASES ALL YOUR DATA AND FORMATS SD! You should have done a backup by this point! (If this command gives a (bootloader) FAILED error, immediately run this command again, that should work.)
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
mfastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please, I say this again! Do this one line at a time, waiting for every line to flash and perform actions and to return an OKAY as an answer...
If every step on the copy-paste steps give OKAY as an answer, you will see your Moto G return to life with the original Moto firmware!!!! The first boot will take like 7 or 8 minutes, so be patient!
So this is it. If you need help let me know below... :fingers-crossed:

Everything looks good and worked for me except for 2 things:
-Flashing motoboot.img will error if you're trying to downgrade from 4.4.4 gpe or 4.4.3 moto but you can just skip it
-You need to add a .img at the end of this "mfastboot flash system system (this one gives trouble on non european models but is the one that works on american (and argentinian) Moto G!)" (not a big deal but it errors if you don't and people can get scared)

You're damn right man, correcting right now! :good:

Hey man thanks for the guide. No the question is, why flash back? GPE is much better for me! or it is because we will have problems when trying to update to Android L?

I plan to do this when 5.0 comes out. Currently I'm on CM11. However, on the official downloads page I only see 4.4.2 for my retail firmware. Would this be fine if I'm on 4.4.4?
Thanks for the guide.

there is one thing, if you upgrade to 4.4.3/4.4.4, you will not be able to downgrade yourself to 4.3.
I have tried. it just wont boot.

Yes, I was on GPe 4.4.4 firmware, then I flashed 4.4.2 Moto firmware, then OTAed to 4.4.4 Moto firmware.. So this will work..

Yes, that is true, so 4.3 is no more an option.. I wonder if this will happen in the future, I mean, maybe when 5.0 comes out, will it be impossible to downgrade to 4.4.2 firmware also?... I hope I'm wrong..

This is just in case you miss Stock firmware... If you like GPe firmware just stay there, but if you have trouble you can use this guide. Also this should work to revert from CM11 or another custom ROM. :good: But, when Lollipop arrives, there will be no problems with OTAs on GPe firmware, but Motorola gives some extra features..
I returned to stock because of some options and features Stock firmware has... (FM radio, Sounds Effects, Assist, Moto Camera, OTG options on Settings > Storage, etc...)

Hi, i bougth the Moto G in Argentina with 4.4.2 and unlocked the bootloader, updated OTA to 4.4.4 and rooted the device , if i do this procedure will i lost the CMW recovery and/or root? the bootloader will remain unlocked?

If you do all of this, you will loose root and CWM... but you can root it again when you do this procedure-- and the bootloader will remain unlocked. :good:

If you download the firmware in .xml.zip format enter :
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
Instead of mfastboot flash system system.img

When I tried to flash my specific firmware, those commands didnt work, and somewhere else I read those commands you say are for some european devices. I use the system.img command and it worked every time I do it on my retail Arg moto g. That is a little difference between some devices.
Edit: sorry I forgot that the firmware I used was in tar.gz format, so that's why those commands didn't work for me.. If the firmware you download is xml.zip you have to use the other guide that is on sticky posts.

Thanks for your guide! It was very usefull.
I've been trying CM rom and the Decepticon kernel, and because of that I've reinstalled the stock rom quite a few times now.
Because of that, every time I restored the 4.4.2 rom (Retail Argentina) and then OTA to 4.4.4. It's very annoying to download that update every time and I couldn't find it online so I've made a backup of the update zip. That way I only need to enter into the recovery and flash the update.
Anyone else wants it?

I was worried about the sparsechunk.xx files as well, but flashing them worked no problem for me (I'm using the Bell 4.4.2 Canada firmware).
Got my Moto G back to Moto stock 4.4.2 from GPe 4.4.4 just fine! Thanks Marckozz <3 Can confirm this works for XT1032 in Canada (although this is probably the same model as an American one to be honest).

Try this:
*Flash ENTIRE firmware image from Brazil Retail Lollipop 5.0.2... So your bootloader will be updated to Moto bootloader... (search in this forum that firmware image and steps to flash it, and yes, flash motoboot.img and gpt.bin also, I've done that and it can be flashed on top of the old Google bootloader from GPE)
*Then, flash Retail KK 4.4.4 using this guide, but dont flash motoboot or gpt.bin from 4.4.4....
*And last, update via OTA to Retail AR Lollipop...
:fingers-crossed:

Thks, but why do i have to flash the brazilian firmware first? Flashing directly the argentinian retail 5.0.2 wont work?

[OTA] Moto G 2014 XT1063 v22.11.6 Android Lollipop

This OTA has been copied straight from the /cache folder by @KennyWuLee.
Download Here!
Steps For Applying the Update:
Copy the ZIP to your Moto G.
Go into Recovery.
Select "apply update from sdcard"
Choose the File which you copied.
Wait till it finishes and select reboot.
This update is specifically for the XT1063 model and isn't meant for other variants.
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"

Is there a chance to make this file a flashable zip through TWRP? For some reason it doesn't want to install, it says "/system/lib/hw/sensort.MSM8226.so" has unexpected contents :S

Fine to XT1068
Thanks and this works fine with my XT1068, check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56765946&postcount=138

getting downgrade error, PIV signed image error, sst lock fail error !
[NB: I have changed to US version (retuaws) before and flashed back to global ]

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?

I doubt it will without flashing the other firmware.

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.

you need the bootloader unlocked?

I successfully flashed this while being fully stock/locked bootloader. Everything works except the flashlight won't turn back off after I activate it... anyone else have this issue?

Working totally fine on my end. You are talking about the Flashlight from the Notif menu right?

Yes the bootloader needs unlocked to flash the stock firmware.

My phone is locked, do i need to unlock it?

@[email protected] , There is already a thread with firmwares which already contains 5.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/index-moto-g-falcon-factory-firmware-t3110795/page14
So why have you started the new one?
P.S
That's funny cause I saw a line "search before posting" in your signature
And just to you know everybody knows that link to filefactory to download moto g firmwares
Yep, may be I'm a bit rude but I'm just saying that starting a new thread you made nothing new to show this community

no need of exe extensions

I have a XT1033, stock ROM, stock recovery, rooted.
1 - if I want to upgrade to 5.1, must take root and update by OTA?
2 - Or use the mfastbost to install 5.1?
3 - If I use mfastbot, you must remove the root?
4 - And if I use mfastbot, I lose my application data?
Sorry for my bad english

* Use mfastboot and install 5.1 (as he mentioned, skip 4.1 and 4.3 to avoid relocking bootloader)
* After completing the process flash any custom kernel ( use this thread-> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-2-0-touch-recovery-t2980621 )
* Then flash supersu to get root access ( https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU )

For all models.
check out which one is sutable for u r model.

Well, I for example, don't see any en-EU ROM with 5.1. So it's not for all models after all...

LoLno. Custom kernels have nothing to do with root.

Need some advice for my xt1562

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
