[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​

Want MOTO E Stock Boot Animation
Hello,
I rooted the moto e and with ROM Toolbox lite, changed Nexus Boot animation. Did not like it and deleted Bootanimation.zip from system folder.
The bootanimation now is only "android" page.
Can anyone help me get the stock Motorola Bootanimation?

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.

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??

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.

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.

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

Brick moto g4 xt1622

Hi, yesterday i have unlock bootloader of my moto g4, xt 1622 , i have flashed twrp and this is perfect, but after i have flashed zip of magisk.zip for root permission, when i reboot i obtain only black screen and led white ( intermittence led) .
The device is recognize by windows 10 (in test mode and no signature driver verify ) but not in tray bar..
Mode recognized by pc are:
in fast boot like " fastboot athene_13mp S " in "other device"
In adb mode " sideload" ( from stock recovery) like "Moto g4 plus " in device manager/usb devices"
I have stock recovery and can't start blank flash because the device isn t recognized by pc like qualcomm device..
What can i do??? Thanks a lot my friends!!

The problem is that magisk is not compatible with the Stock kernel, so if you want magisk you need to flash a custom kernel, i recomend this: https://elementalx.org/devices/moto-g4/ you need to flash the kernel and after this flash magisk.
Regards

Wow! So the phone is save? ?
And what can i flash pther kernel, can i have a guide plz? Can i flash with sideload? Thanks!

Yes, you need to enter un recovery, conect your phone to pc and with adb put in the cmd adb sideload nameofyourzip.zip and then flash magisk with sideload if hoy wanr

Unfortunately i recive this error.. what can i do? Thanks!!

Ok, first you need to install twrp: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...p-twrp-3-0-2-2-recovery-moto-g4-plus-t3386586
Then you need to go in twrp to avanced and adb sideload and flash it.

Hmm, can you confirm if you have stock Marshmallow (6.0.1) or Nougat (7.0) on your device? I see from the stock recovery version that it's 6.0.1/MPJ24.139-23-4 (a really old build of Marshmallow).

Thanks ismael! I m going to try it
@ECHO first of this mods, the smartphone have nougat full stock. When i have installed twrp the sistem started normally, but when i flashed magisk the sistem started with black screen, before this i ve factory reset and flash a zip of stock rom.. and start a very problem!!

Thanks, as Ismael034202 pointed out above, if you were on stock Nougat, then you will need to flash a custom kernel, as rooting on the stock Motorola Nougat kernel will cause a boot failure. If you were still on Nougat, then you could have followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-root-moto-g4-plus-supersu-android-t3587918 with flashing magisk instead of SuperSU.
As you've re-flashed the old Marshmallow stock ROM, then you do not need a custom kernel (Marshmallow stock ROM kernels are less strict about rooting), flashing TWRP and then flashing magisk should work on Marshmallow.
However, you need to be very careful if you revert back to full stock - as you've appeared to have downgraded from Nougat, taking OTA updates may hard brick your device. If you can remember what Nougat stock ROM you had before unlocking your device, I would recommend downloading a copy of that stock ROM and using the stock ROM to update. Try not to use stock OTA updates.

Very well explained echo92. +1 ?

Hmm, in that case, the easiest way may be to flash the latest stock ROM to your device and start over again. As an alternative, do you have a TWRP backup of your device?
For XT1622, you'll likely want NPJS25.93-14-13 (Nougat, 7.0 stock, December 2017 security patch) firmware from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
Download and extract as directed in the post, and to flash to repair your device, use the following flashing commands:
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

This should not re-lock your bootloader. Next, download TWRP, ElementalX and magisk and flash as I suggested in the guide above. The basic guide for rooting on Nougat is:
a)Flash/boot TWRP. Backup your device.
b)Flash ElementalX.
c)Flash magisk or SuperSU.
d)Wipe cache/Dalvik in TWRP.
e)Reboot and wait for boot.
f)Any issues, revert to your backup made in a)

I don t know.. the problem is the corrupted bootloader ( i think..)

Moto G6 Plus - No bootable A/B slot, device not detected with adb.

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!
