stock recovery

I have restored my stock backup of the original Moto x style/pure so it's clean no root or mods, can I just go back to stock recovery from twrp ?
I've tried going back to stock using the correct firmware but I end up in a boot loop, I'm hoping I can just abd the official recovery and I'll be able to install the ota

Just download the full rom firmware image that is the same version as you have installed, and extract recovery.img from it, you can flash this with fastboot or TWRP.

System Staus- " Modified"

Hello Xdians, I am running G4 Plus XT1643

After flashing that i am getting system status as Modified instead of Official ... Can anybody help!!
Is it because of elemental x
I tried a clean flash of custom rom but issue still persists ....
I have to sell the phone ..Pls help
T h a n k s

Downgrade to lower version of MM (139-23, i think, not sure ) and you will receive latest update of MM (139-63)... It will make it official...

That's because you flashed EX kernel. This overwrites your stock kernel (boot.img) with EX kernel. Your bootloader only considers stock (Motorola) ROM files as 'official' including the kernel.
Obviously when you flashed a custom ROM it won't have Moto files as they have their own kernels.
To get it it back to official you need to revert to stock MM using this guide:
https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?ur...share_tid=3460695&share_fid=3793&share_type=t
This should solve your issue
Note: It will wipe all your files and remove root, etc as it will make your phone just like how you got it when purchased.

Move your question here from development thread, i clearly said OTA, sideloading zip is not OTA...

Once you unlock the bootloader it will always show modified in the bootloader. You can't revert back to official once it's unlocked therefore modified. I already reverted back to stock firmware using fastboot and it's still considered modified.

I am not sure if what you said was right. Unlocking bootloader won't change the status to unofficial on the screen but it does essentially void your warranty. Even if you unlock, the device will still show it as official until and unless you decide to play with /system or /oem or root or custom kernel. Other than that, I believe it will still show it as official even though unlocked.

System status changes if you modify stock firmware.
It doesnt have to do anything with locked or unlocked bootloader.
I successfully changed my system status from modified to official even with unlocked bootloader.

Need some experts help in flashing back stock rom in my Moto G5 Plus Model - XT 1686 .
Indian Version .

There is not any stock rom available right now for same January security patch level, so you cant downgrade or relock bootloader until there will not be a same patch level rom, also volte getting broken for all who flashed oreo roms. If you have backup of your stock rom before flashing oreo rom thn that backup can help. Efs restore can give you back your imei numbers and working network but volte, forget it.

Its normal if you have successfully flashed rom and gapps in twrp and thn from twrp you will press reboot system thn you will not reboot to system, first the phone will boot in bootloader and thn you have to press start button from bootloader thn rom will start to boot. And stock rom can only be flashed via fastboot or RSD Lite, however debloted and customised stock rom can be flashed via twrp. Hope this will help.

Yeah, its will failed because you are trying to downgrade and you cant downgrade gpt.bin, if you want to flash stock rom thn you will need same or higher patch level stock rom, otherwise its will failed or you will hardbricked your device, if twrp is working normally thn start a clean flash of any custom rom, reboot, first time you will boot in bootloader thn press start from bootloader thn your rom will boot normally. And last but not least, never ever forget to take backup of your old rom.

one question more can i restore someones twrp backup ? will that bring back VoLte working ? cuz just now i flashed Pixel Rom and it booted as u guided me to boot. But VoLte not working IMEI fine after flashing some commands ... both sim working

What do you mean by flash the system update? Sorry I'm new here, but what exact steps did you do? I am currently on a rooted MR2 with Arter 's kernel.

Received security updates notification a few hours ago.
Still no P-MR3 factory image on Razer dev site.
If need relock bootloader to update I guess I will wait a period. (I hope we can get Android 10 update

compared to MR2, we probably will need to wait for months until razer puts the factory images on their dev-page...
I really can't understand what takes so long for that last step. Just upload that crap and you're done, razer

Can the update be flashed in TWRP without disturbing Magisk or Arter's kernel? I've grabbed the update zip via a link I found by generating a bug report in the developer options and searching for "System_Update". I'm just wondering if it's safe to flash over everything.

Don't really need to relock bootloader and such, Just flash Stock recovery and the update will go through Smoothly, and then you can Reflash your twrp/magisk.

No mods not even F2fs and Vold, for the stock boot image I simply fastboot flash it.

I flashed f2fs, wondering if that's why I can't flash update even after flashing stock kernel? ?

https://github.com/RadekBledowski/Razer_Phone_mods/blob/master/magisk_patched.img?raw=true
here's magisk patched version
to flash arter kernel you have to flash it via zip not fastboot so flash it first via fastboot and flash it again but in twrp as zip

So what I see is you can update without reloacking your bootloader by... (I'm asking if this is right)
1. Fastboot flash stock boot.img
2. Update normally
3. Reflash magisk, your custom kernel and what not.
Correct?

I've tried flashing back to stock kernel but it didn't work for me.

I usually perform the "reset to factory" task from the razer images (properly commenting the line that erases userdata)
After that you just are with original stock and you can update via OTA as usual.
