[GUIDE] Restore softbricked phone after Lollipop update

FIRST OF ALL
(Also for downgrading to KitKat without softbricked phone!)
Okay, I decided to do the OTA to lollipop, everything went fine. So after some use I decided to play with the /system partition. I formatted it without making a working backup so my phone was kinda softbricked. REMEMBER THIS THREAD IS NOT FOR HARDBRICKED BOOTLOADERS, you guys have to wait.
SO WHAT TO DO?
1. Plug your phone into fastboot in your pc.
2. Flash a custom recovery, like CWM, I know you'll have a screen rimble effect due the new bootloader (doesn't matter)
3. Open recovery and keep it plugged into PC, recovery will have adb on by default so leave recovery as it is.
4. Open CMD and type:
Code:
cd directory-with-adb.exe-and-fastboot.exe-etc.
(I assume that you guys know how to use adb and fastboot with CMD)
5. Type:
Code:
adb devices
6. Your Moto's serial number should show up in the attached devices list (serialnumber, recovery), if not download the driver installer from http://adbdriver.com
7. Now download a firmware flashable zip to the directory in your CMD (CyanogenMod or stock firmwares from here)
8. Now you have to make sure you are able to mount the /sdcard in recovery: To make sure do a /data and media wipe. (Also helps on GPe ROM and the encryption problem!)
9. Now you can push the downloaded zip to the phone's sdcard using:
Code:
adb push yourrom.zip /sdcard/yourrom.zip
It will take some time.
10. Now you can install but you may face a not working SIM or WiFi, you need to download a .xml.zip firmware corresponding to your just flashed version. Navigate to your firmware folder using CMD. Then type:
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
11. Now your phone should work. You will have that annoying screen rimble. Sometimes it's gone, just turn screen off for a few minutes. It will be fixed when you install the stock recovery and then flash an lollipop OTA zip just like before! (OTA's will still show up and works with updating )
WARNING!
SOME GUYS MADE A HUGE MISTAKE AND BRICKED THEIR BOOTLOADER. THEY FLASHED LOLLIPOP OTA, THEN DOWNGRADED TO 4.4.2 AND THEY TRIED TO UPDATE TO 4.4.4 BY OTA!
THAT RUINED THE BOOTLOADER SEE BELOW!
FOR HARDBRICKED DEVICES
You ruined your bootloader, we need a mbm-ci (blankflasher tool) with the 5.0 bootloader. We have to wait till Motorola releases it. So no support yet.
Sorry guys, that was the risk!
HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE THIS TUTORIAL!

Thanks for the guide.

Just follow the guide! Flashing with fastboot won't work so flash custom recovery and push a 4.4.4 stock zip.

Hey I flashed this file now the change is that previously my both the IMEI(S) were showing 0 now 1st one is showing 0 but 2nd one has changed to null.
Secondly i request you to please come and join the below mentioned thread and please please help us all who have erased IMEI(S) with your knowledge and skills.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/info-moto-g-imei0-t2925970
Edit: can you help in telling me how you modified this fsg_gio.img file? Or if you have got it from somewhere else please point...
As it is a very important file and a developer on above mentioned thread needs to know how this file got modified this will lead us further in restoring the imei numbers... as because moto g is made in a very different way... there is a lot of encryption done in its partitions which is very difficult to decrypt.

I presume that you MAY NOT have to flash whole rom, if you 'JUST' flashed the needed version of recovery then you can upgrade with a OTA zip (can't test as only got xt1068) maybe someone can test this - but obviously some OTA's rely on being updated in order.

This is for XT1063 Only!

Bootloader can easily be locked. I've done it & even made a one click to do it as well. However I was able to update to 5.0 without the bootloader being locked. I'm back on KitKat for the third time. I'm not willing to give up root & deal with all the bugs of L.
There is also a custom ROM in these forms that run smoother than the stock & easier to install but still has the root bug.

What model do you have?
I can assure you I am not new at this, I bought my phone from Amazon with 21.11.23 and there was an addition added at some point that prevents a downgrade and in turn does not allow the system to be flashed with a locked or unlocked bootloader if you start with the command Fastboot oem lock begin.
if you have an XT1063 please tell me how you locked your bootloader without modifying anything that will then be unreversable.
Don't take it the wrong way, but I have seen people create tools that edit the hex to show bootloader locked then they can no longer unlock it or corrupt the phone and brick.

ETA: I'm not going to get upset over anything in a forum. I just post info to the best of my knowledge in hope to be helpful to someone else. Sometimes that changes as more knowledge is gained.
I have a xt1063 .17 & I did use "fastboot oem lock begin" I don't remember every command but the one click also restored the stock firmware at the same time. I'll have to look at my files in a few. I only made about 20 one clicks & was writing & rewriting a how to guide all at the same time as I was trying to figure it out & get on 5.0 all at the same time. Like I said tho my bootloader is unlocked again & it doesn't seem to affect the ability to flash OTA.

I never said anything about needing to relock it. I just said I have not been able to for those of us that want 5.0.1 and want to lock the bootloader. If you are able to price steps on how you downgraded from 5.0 and locked the boot loader I sure would want to try it myself.
Ideally I would add in the commands above fastboot OEM lock begin and fastboot OEM unlock for those who want a relocked boot loader before flashing the otas. Its just not possible if you are not on 21.11.17 to begin with because of the signed zip downgrade verification

Stating that it didn't need locked to flash 5.0 is just added info for anyone fallowing the thread & based on my experience. That may change for flashing 5.0.1.
These commands was ran from a modified 21.11.17 build to lock the bootloader. I thought I read ether in this thread or another thread that you already found a way to flash back to the stock firmware 21.11.17 without the downgrade error. If your on stock 21.11.17 now then you could give the lock command a try from mfastboot. I restored a Nandroid to get back to KitKat from Lollipop.
The one click I made was for those that had tampered with their stock 21.11.17 & wanted to be back to stock & locked. I didn't even know there was a 21.11.23 build at the time.

If your on stock 21.11.17 now then you could give the lock command a try from mfastboot. I restored a Nandroid to get back to KitKat from Lollipop.
The one click I made was for those that had tampered with their stock 21.11.17 & wanted to be back to stock & locked. I didn't even know there was a 21.11.23 build at the time.

Download firmware for XT1063 21.11.17 here
http://motofirmware.com/files/download/950-retuglb-xt1063-444-kxb2185-17-cid9-cfcxmlzip/
I flashed firmware using @Shawn5162's scrpt, but replaced the 21.11.23 files with the ones from the link above.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2957167
or you can do it manually via fastboot:
adb reboot bootloader
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_sparsechunk.0
Fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
Fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
Fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
Fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
Fastboot erase modemst1
Fastboot erase modemst2
Fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
Fastboot flash erase cache
Fastboot flash erase userdata
fastboot reboot
Then I applied all the following OTAs successfully:
Note: download and copy all OTAs to SD card downloads folder then install via STOCK Recovery apply update from SD Card

Please hit the thanks if it worked and report back. This should help all those stuck on 22.11.6. Please make sure you go all the way back to 21.11.17 first before reporting back.
P.S.
Still unable to lock bootloader.

You will get updates. You can Root, however I do not think there is a stable root yet. If you unlock your boot loader it will format, if you already unlocked your boot loader then you will not loose your data.

Yes an unlocked boot loader has no effect on anything except the abity to flash a custom recovery. If your unlocked and have it all stock, then you should be good

Hi there. Just one question that can't let me alone, can i flash this if my phone is from another region? The model i have is the XT1527, i unlocked the bootloader, but i prefer to use the Tmobile version, as i have it with a moto x 2nd gen.
My phone is 4g LTE of course, but the question that if other region can be flashed is not clear to me... hope you can help me if you know anything about it, thanks.

it should work if hardware is compatible.....now they have lollipo 5.1 just uploaded
...i dont'n know about wifi and network signal....but if you have unlocked your bootloader you can always flash original firmware back (make sure is availble as xml file)

Help, please.
Should I flash this like any other ROM? I live in Colombia, would that affect the cellphone networks or anything? I have the XT1527.

so flashing t-mobile would enable wifi calling?

Keep in mind depending on the region you're flashing you may have a different number of sparse chunks (I think VZW has like 16, where as stock has like 13) You just enter the amount of sparse chunks you need to flash.

I would just root yourself then. I couldn't get systemless root to work with the current TWRP available so I just flashed a forced System ROOT instead.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/v2-64-2-66-supersu-mode-t3286120
Download from there and flash it in TWRP. But say goodbye to Android pay obviously

:/ Ok; try as I might I cannot seem to get my Moto Z to boot if I have SuperSU installed. My bootloader is unlocked, and I've been able to flash different ROMS with no problem. But if I try to install SuperSU (v2.78-SR1) to a working ROM, or install JanJan's pre-rooted US ROM, then Android simply never boots. I just downloaded the three more recent versions of SuperSU to give them a try, but does anyone have any suggestions of what I might be doing wrong here?

Sounds to me like you need a different Boot image then. I flashed the boot.img that was disabled force encryption, then flashed the System mode SuperSU. No issues at all. US Moto Z 64 GB model.

Don't misguide users. You shouldn't post if you are not sure about something.
First, its not a zip file. Its a rar file.
Second, its not flashable. You need to flash it using fastboot.

TO relock the bootloader and Flashing
First of all download the stock firmware rar file ( thanks to Arivendu for heads up) - multi platform support (windows linux etc)

***** this firmware also worked for other moto g4 variants *****
extract it
open folder name : athene_oem_user_7.0_NPJ25.93-11_12_release
under the folder their is a folder name "Windows"
copy files from "windows" folder to root folder
and use below command to re-lock bootloader and flash your phone with latest version of stock 7.0 (tested on xt1643)
SHIFT + Mouse right click >>> open command window here
and enter this commands one by one
Code:
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot oem lock
Or download the oem unlock and flash mobile.zip (833.6 KB) from atatchment and place the files in root dir where you extracted the firmware
and run the OEM lock.bat file for automation
if the device not reboot after firmware flash run this command at the end :
Code:
fastboot reboot

I can confirm that rar contains factory images and it's working fine on my Moto G4 Plus XT1644 64GB/4Gb RAM (RETUS). Finally, running Nougat on my device.

Although the website says they are not an official Lenovo forum, if it's working for people, that's great. It'd be nice if we get a Nougat ROM we can flash in stock recovery without adb fastboot

Massive cleaning on the thread.. Please be warry of whatever type of file you are flashing on your devices.. A little mistake will brick your devices.

I couldn't find the commands for flashing this through bootloader. If someone may know a solution, could you please post the command or guide me?

The fastboot commands are the same as in the post you linked in your quote. Alternatively, you may refer to the instructions listed here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369
One way to flash your stock ROM is (just expanding on the instructions mentioned previously):
1) Download the Motorola drivers and minimal adb tool from the links here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369 Install the drivers and tool as directed by the installers.
2)Extract the 7z ROM with your preferred decompression tool (that can handle .7z file types). The resulting folder should be about 2 GB. Copy the files (from the extracted stock ROM) to your adb folder (may be on your C:\ drive, you may have to give permission to copy).
3)Connect your device to your computer. Enable USB debugging.
3a)Once recognised by your computer, open the adb terminal and type/execute 'adb devices' without the quotes. Your device should return back its serial number if properly detected.
4)Back up all necessary data and files to your computer. Flashing a fastboot ROM may wipe your data from your device.
5)Reboot your device to bootloader mode.
5a) Re-confirm you can still detect your device in fastboot mode by executing 'fastboot devices'. Should get your serial number again.
6)Run the commands as directed in the fastboot ROM thread in the adb terminal.
6a)These commands are for relocking your bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
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 lock
fastboot reboot
6b) If you don't wish to type all this, you may wish to download and run the scripts from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 Ensure you copy the scripts to the adb folder, where your ROM files and the adb terminal should be. There should be 2 scripts there, one for if you want to relock your bootloader, one if you don't wish to.

What firmware did you have previously on your device, and are you trying to relock your bootloader? The firmware linked here is quite old (November 2016 security patch), and the warning you're getting suggests you have newer firmware on your device.
If you're on the June update, do not flash this firmware.
