Here's the flashable image for andriod 6.0 on XT 1097/1092 devices, without the need to flash radio files to make it work with Indian networks (should work on other XT1092 devices) . Thanks to "Uchoaz10" who posted the image in thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/rom-installation-rsd-t3263800 , rather than using RSD flash the image , you can use my custom made Batch file to flash the rom.
Unzip the image and flash fresh zip into one folder and follow below steps.
Instructions
1) Power off device
2) Boot to boot loader ( press power and Volume down for few seconds and let go)
3) connect to computer via USB
4) Run Flash fresh .bat file
5 ) Reboot device
Note : If your stuck in boot loop , reboot to bootloader and select recovery (press volume up) , do an factory reset and reboot.
Use this method to root - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/root-root-moto-x-2014-android-t3249105 thanks to "Junior Passos"

The 6.0 OTA that got released was for brazil , to flash the OTA you had to convert your phone to XT 1097 first and then flash the OTA . When flashed the OTA , mobile network would not work till correct radios are flashed . With the above method you do not need to convert to XT 1097 or flash radios (atleast for carriers in India)

should I do anything extra if I have a XT1092 ? Just run the bat file?

Your download links are not working for me. Part of the links are replaced with "...".

I know that... But do you know where the check in the ota file is which prevents it from installing on 1092?

OTA will not get flashed if you try to flash the OTA using an non XT1097 device. Not sure where that check is , if i know that i would not have posted this

Would this work on European XT1092?

I'm also interested in updating my German Moto X XT1092.

FYI the exact same firmware works flawlessly on my retde 1092, I installed it through the TWRP backup though. No extra hassle, everything worked on first boot

Its working on my indian XT1092 ! , as accepted it shows the model as XT1097

Do I need an unlocked BL, root or custom recovery to flash this, or can i flash this on stock firmware 5.1, with locked bootloader

Exactly.

Does it need a stock recovery to work, or can I flash it with TWRP installed ?

It needs nothing but unlocked bootloader. You can flash via stock recovery. I just did it, and it works just fine. However, I had to do factory reset after installing it as too many apps were crashing. Dirty flash is no replacement for OTA update.

Well, I have just the opposite : I have TWRP installed, and I wanted to know if that was a problem.

You can just flash via fastboot. No recovery needed.

So, I took the jump and flashed the rom using your file. It seems to have worked just fine, even if right now, it's hanging on the app optimizing part.
Thanks anyway !

[HELP]SIMs missing (baseband suffix changed to DFLT_FSG) Fingerprint revived

Hi all I have unfortunately lost the proper baseband for my device (XT1643-indian model g4 plus 3gb/32gb)
Prior to posting this, I had my fingerprint lost too. My stupidity was flashing the june fastboot firmware I found on one of the links for motorola rsd cloud clients. :/ With the help of @echo92 i was able to revive the missing fingerprint by pushing hw.img to /dev/block/mmcblk0p43 but still the SIMs won't show up as the baseband has changed to MSM8952_70030.25.03.62.01R DFLT_FSG
I have tried flashing the modem and fsg partitions from the March 1 ROM but still no solution
Any kind of help would be appreciated

Flashing the modem file for you device didn't change the baseband version? Meaning it didn't remove the suffix at the end...
What happens if you flash a complete stock ROM via fastboot for you device? One that includes all of the files...

I actually had made these backups specifically for such conditions but i'm unable to find them as of now. I have been able to get the Sims working somehow with @Droidphilev 's flashable modem zip (Available here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/fxz-flashable-stock-npjs25-93-14-4-t3623010 ). But the baseband I have after flashing this zip is M8952_70030.25.03.62.01p ATHENE_EMEA_DSDS_CUST . Let's see what can be done to revive my phone fully.

The update.zip has inside (extract it) update.app. use heawei update extractor to extract that file. You will get the system.img there. That one will be the correct one for your model and build number.

Downgrading to Nougat is not recommended, because EMUI 8 is Treble supported.
That means it has dozens of new partitions and partition lengths. Many people have screwed their phone trying to downgrade.
Unless you have foolproof method of downgrading and correct 'downgrade firmware' (yes, it's different, cause it will re-write all the partitions again), Don't do it.

I have a similar problem and I cannot get back to stock from the RR oero
I used the method to upgrade from 5.1 to oero 8.0 here https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/guide-honor-7x-flash-oreo-update-t3781649/
Then used the Openkirin RR install method using stock recovery. - all goin good but RR has to many crashes.
I have tried to roll back to Stock using the same HWOTA method putting the update files int HWOTA 8 folder, all looks good in twrp and I wipe Cache and Dalvik but it still reboots into RR
I've noticed in Twrp in red letters it says cannot find partition /system
Rebooting into recovery after using to install TWRP it first boots into stock recovery then when i press factory reset it will boot into TWRP.

And your absolut sure these 5 rom files are OK and not broken? You download the correct device versions?
Which roms you have(file names)?

You can flash twrp with twrp itself(install - > image) or with fastboot like the first time.

I hope you did not pause the download in between or it did not failed and you started from the failed point (It can be done in Firefox)
Check the md5 of the zip file.
Also try a different TWRP. What TWRP are you using right now??.......just tell what source you downloaded it from

Wrong TWRP my friend (its a 32 bit TWRP and you need 64 bit TWRP)........strange I thought it was error 255 when we tried to install using wrong TWRP.
Download TWRP by Lyuu and backup EFS first and then flash the ROM.

Thank you. This worked. Finally i have a ROM ;_;. I will now try to flash custom rom. Thank you for your help

strongst said:
And your absolut sure these 5 rom files are OK and not broken? You download the correct device versions?
Which roms you have(file names)?
What twrp version(link /file name)?
You can flash twrp with twrp itself(install - > image) or with fastboot like the first time.

I think there was some problem with the TWRP. Not sure entirely. Yes i downloaded the correct versions of the ROMS. Downloaded 3 versions of one ROM just to be sure;_;
I am currently back to stock rom thanks to Heeth21.
I will try to flash now from the beginning.
Thank you for your help

I asked you about your twrp already https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...sh-custom-rom-noob-help-t3883210/post78527551
Please make sure to read and answer the questions properly

Downgrading from Pie(pixel exp) to Stock.

Hello Everyone!
I am a total noob. I have rooted many phone but never once reversed the process. Plus with stock moto being 32bit and customs being 64 it is even more complicated for me. And plus all this post about lost IMIE numbers and lost GPT makes me scared.
If i may, can I get step by step guide to relock my bootloader and get OTAs.
I have read most of the tutorials here but couldnt get the confidence to move forward(they all sound a little different)
I have moto G5 plus XT1686 indian version 4Gb/32GB currently running PE 9.0 (GTRCraft). I dont remember which version I had when I unlocked the bootloader. I do have a backup of my persist/efs.
I did see one tutorial but it is for 8.1.0 to stock and IDK if that works for me.
Thanks in advance.

Just wipe everything from twrp and then use LMSA OR manually flash the stock ROM and then go for bootloader lock procedure. Then you are done. And you won't lose any IMEI or Persist, so you will be safe.

No, download a fastboot flashable ROM, with a TWRP flashable you won't be able to apply OTAs:
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/potter/official/RETAIL/
Use OPSS28.85-17-4 if you're in the US or OPSS28.85-13-3 for the rest of the world.
Follow the available tutorials for flashing that firmware and after that for relocking the BL (almost the same commands). Make sure you have Minimal ADB & Fastboot
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569952951
and Motorola drivers
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0WGdtNWubBJYnlDcWRBZXltanc/view
installed on your PC.
For the fastboot commands you can use this flashall.bat:

ATTENTION:
You will need the appropriate version of the firmware according to your device version
You need the same or later version of firmware that you have when you unlock your BL
Example: If when you unlock your bl you was on NPNS25.137-33-11 you need the same (or later) complete firmware because you can't downgrade.
This is a part of the bootloader locking tutorial here on XDA. Does this make a difference?

You have to use the firmware you were on before you changed to a custom ROM or a newer one.
Never use an older one, downgrading can brick your device.

The "slot not found" error is normal, it's related to A/B devices with more than one recovery slot like Pixel phones. The commands should work nevertheless. Ignore the message.

I reloaded my G5 Plus with POTTER_RETAIL_7.0_NPNS25.137-93-4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip sucessfuly. However, I was not able to relock the bootloader :
C:\Moto potter>fastboot oem lock
...
(bootloader) Still require signed boot.img
It got OTA'ed to Oreo 8.1 latter on, but still bootloader unlocked.
I just went through the flashing process to POTTER_RETAIL_8.1.0_OPSS28.85-17-4, same damned thing.
Everything works fine, excpet for Netflix that can't be installed no more and my bank software who keeps complaining.
I just dunno what to do to relock, any advice ?

Hello, Thank you for your reply.
I understand I cannot use an older firmware. I remember I unlocked my BL when I was in 7.0 itself, but when I installed the Arrow 9.0, I flashed the 8.1 firmware zip to get the NFC and Fingerprint working. So now my ro.build fingerprint doesnt tell me which firmware build i am on it just says "8.1"
I am confused what to do. Should I download the latest 8.1 moto rom and flash it? I tried the TWRP flashable rom but the phone just goes upto Hello Moto bootscreen and then bootloops.
I erased everything and flashed PE 9.0 again.

That's what I would do. If you flash the latest firmware it can't be older as the one you're originally coming from.

Flash all the system files while locking. (0-8). Older locking guides have only 0-4. Newer firmware has 9 system files.
