[updated] THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO FLASH GPE LOLLIPOP 5.1 on XT1032/33/34 WITH ROOT

Okay, so there has been a lot of confusion an ambiguity on how to successfully install the GPE lollipop update on the Moto G. The reason I am starting this guide is because I faced a lot of trouble myself trying to get this update and get stuff working.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: EASY (NOOB FREINDLY )
WARNING:
I HAVE TESTED THIS FULL PROCEDURE MYSELF. BUT I SHALL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT OCCUR BY USING THIS PROCEDURE, THOUGH I SHALL TRY MY BEST TO SOLVE THEM IF YOU FACE ANY. DUAL SIM USERS, ONLY SINGLE SIM WORKS BECAUSE IT IS A GPE FIRMWARE AND THERE IS NO WORKAROUND FOR IT. THIS PROCEDURE DOES NOT WORK WITH XT1031 (confirmed by @goldeneagle1972 )
THIS PROCEDURE WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA ON THE PHONE. SO TAKE A BACKUP.
EXISTING GPE 5.0.1/2 USERS, FLASH THE ORIGINAL GPE MODEMS FIRST AND MAKE SURE YOUR SYSTEM ISN'T MODIFIED. (eg: rooted ). THEN DIRECTLY GO TO STEP 5.
THE REST OF YOU, FLASH THE 5.1 GPE FIRMWARE [HERE] FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS IN STEP 2.2 AND THEN GO DIRECTLY TO STEP 6
PREREQUISITES:
You will need an unlocked boot loader. If you have not already unlocked it, refer to [this]
STEP 1:
Download the 4.4.4 GPE XT1032 FIRMWARE from [here] [mirror]
Download mfastbootv2 from [here]
Download the minimal sdk from [here]
Download and install adb drivers from [here]
Download the batch files for all the commands from [here]. (OBSOLETE)
Download the batch files for flashing 5.1 firmware and fixing network from [here]
Download Motorola drivers from [here]
Reboot system after installing drivers.
Download THE 5.1 GPE FIRMWARE [HERE] FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS IN STEP 2.2 AND THEN GO DIRECTLY TO STEP 6
Extract the GPE firmware archive, batchfiles archive and mFastbootv2 archive to the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder (or your folder containing the platform-tools)
Download OTA update from [here]. Rename it to "ota".
Copy this archive to the same folder mention above (do not extract this archive).
STEP 2:
Boot into fastboot (POWER+VOLUME DOWN) and connect phone to PC
If you are starting from scratch, skip 2.1 ) and go to 2.2 )
2.1 ) If you have already made a failed attempt to OTA, or have previously flashed the Brazilian OTA, then flash the GPE 4.4.4 firmware follow this step. SHIFT + RIGHT click in the folder where you have extracted everything and choose open command window here. Then double-click on "Step 2_1.bat" or type the following commands one by one.
Code:
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
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
You will not get network now but do not flash the modems of the firmware you use now because you will get a status 7 error when flashing the OTA. You will now be dumped at the welcome screen. Do not enter any details, just power off and boot into recovery via fastboot. Skip step 2.2)
YOU WILL GET SOME ERRORS LIKE HAB CHECK FAILED. JUST IGNORE AND PROCEED.
2.2 ) For those who haven't attempted the OTA or are not on the Brazilian Firmware, use the following method to flash the 4.4.4 GPE firmware. SHIFT + RIGHT click in the folder where you have extracted everything and choose open command window here. Then double-click on "Step 2_2.bat" or type the following commands one by one. (Thank you @jmonster141 for pointing out my silly error).
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 flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
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
You will not get network now but do not flash the modems of the firmware you use now because you will get a status 7 error when flashing the OTA. You will now be dumped at the welcome screen. Do not enter any details, just power off and boot into recovery via fastboot.
IT SEEMS THAT SOME 4.4.4 FIRMWARE HAVE NEWER PARTITION TABLES THAN GPE 4.4.4, SO THE GPT.BIN WILL FAIL TO FLASH. JUST SKIP IT AND YOU'L BE FINE (confirmed by @SickBeast ) or TAKE A LOOK AT [THIS] (thank you @t4n017 ).
AFTER ERASING USERDATA AND REBOOTING, YOUR PHONE MIGHT BOOT DIRECTLY INTO FASTBOOT AND IT WILL SAY "UTAG FLASHFAIL CONFIGURED AS FASTBOOT. JUST REFLASH THE BOOTLOADER TO FIX
Code:
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
(thank you @t4n017 again )
YOU WILL GET SOME ERRORS LIKE HAB CHECK FAILED. JUST IGNORE AND PROCEED.
STEP 3:
Now we shall flash the OTA. Boot into recovery. You shall see a weird android logo with an exclamation mark. AFTER THAT HOLD VOL+ FOR 15 SECONDS, THEN TAP POWER BUTTON (KEEP HOLDING THE VOL+ BUTTON) (thank you @thestory101) and choose apply update from adb in the recovery. Then double-click on "Step 3.bat" or type the following command:
Code:
adb sideload ota.zip
OR just OTA from Settings>About phone>System updates (confirmed by @t4n017) though i would yet recommend using the former procedure.
STEP 4:
Once it has finished, select reboot system now from the recovery. DO NOT WIPE YOUR CACHE. YOU WILL BE STUCK AT THE GOOGLE BOOT LOGO SCREEN FOR AROUND 10-20 SECONDS. JUST BE PATIENT. If you are stuck for more than 20 seconds, just flash [this].
STEP 5:
Now check your phone for and update and you shall get an update notification for 5.1 lollipop. Follow onscreen procedures and complete the update.
STEP 6:
SKIP THIS if you have EUROPEAN XT1032.
Download XT1033 modems [here] if you have the Asian Moto G. THESE MODEMS APPARENTLY DON'T WORK. LOOK AT POST NO. 593 FOR FIX.
Download XT1034 modems [here] if you have the Canadian Moto G
Download XT1032 US GSM modems [here] if you have the us version (thank you @jmonster141)
I HAVE GIVEN LINKS TO ALL THE MODEMS OF THE COMMON VARIANTS OF THE MOTO G. IF YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT VARIANT, DOWNLOAD YOUR RESPECTIVE FIRMWARE, COPY THE "NON-HLOS.bin" and "fsg.bin" FROM YOUR ORIGINAL FIRMWARE TO THE FOLDER WHERE YOU HAVE THE SDK, mFastboot, GPE FIRMWARE AND OTA AFTER STEP 3 AND FOLLOW STEP 5 TO GET NETWORK. IT IS EXTREMELY TIME CONSUMING FOR ME TO HUNT DOWN MODEMS FOR ALL THE NUMEROUS VARIANTS AND LINK THEM IN THE OP (IM KINDA BUSY WITH MY STUDIES RIGHT NOW) SO PLEASE TAKE THE PAIN TO DO SO YOURSELF. ALSO, LINK THE MODEMS YOU USED,TO GET NETWORK, IN THE THREAD SO I CAN ADD IT TO THE OP AND HELP THE REST. (That's how the amazing XDA community works right ?! )

I confirmed the steps with some other google searches wherever I thought I am confused. Luckily for me, if worked like a breeze for me the first time. Read all the messages on the command prompt / terminal on your computer and the information displayed on your phone while you are flashing all sorts of stuff. There are certain important information that you will on this displays. BE PATIENT

The reason i am starting this guide is because I faced a lot of trouble myself trying to get this update and had to scavenge through multiple threads to get stuff working. I had flashed the update on my Moto G XT1033 converted to GPE using the mixed firmware by @deej_roamer [using this tutorial], OTAed to 4.4.4 and flashed the OTA manually using ADB. I was stuck at the bootlogo following this. This was because of the firmware being modified this interfering with the OTA. Since i was now stuck with the new 41.18 bootloader and the partition table (gpt.bin) of the OTA, i could not flash the XT1033 firmware. So this is what I did:

That's a nice way to convert I didn't think it could be done this way.... Cool bro

dual sim will work with this method right?
can you give feedback, is it stable enough to be used daily? have you encountered any bugs or features that doest work? force close?
im thinking jumping to 5.01 but need some idea of how stable it is as i dont have a spare phone at the moment if it fail or got bricked

thankyou !!!

No Network
Hey
I still don't see any network on my phone.
This is after I flashed the modem files
Any fix ? Thanks

For me GPE 4.4.4 doesn't boot anymore, because of the new bootloader I assume. GPE 5.0.1 also didn't boot. Only Motorola Firmware booted successfully. Do you know what I can do about that?

This works whit the xt1034 ?

I am really sorry but i missed an important step in the OP (i realised it right away but my mom wouldnt allow me to touch my PC before i finished my homework :| )
Once you flash GPE 4.4.4 with the original modems, flash the OTA and after that reboot to bootloader and AFTER that flash the modems of the phone model you have. When you boot into lollipop it will say that it will take around 5 minutes to find network and wait patiently until it is done.

Make sure you follow step 2.1. And make sure you used thw links i provided in the OP. GPE 4.4.4 boots just fine for the rest of us. (Sans the screen flickering which is fixed after a screen unlock)

Hi,
I'm stuck on step 3 (can't adb sideload the ota). I can't boot to recovery - just a picture of android with the ! (red) sign.
GPE 4.4.4 is working just fine (with network too).
Thank you!

I for got to mention in the OP, you are supposed to press volume up and power button simultaneously when that logo comes for 7 seconds and then release it.

It just reboots the system when I press volume up and power button when that logo shows up.
Thanks
EDIT: Got it to work! Just have to precise!

As far as I can tell the difference is leaving bootloader (which fails to flash anyway) and GPT from the retail Firmware. I flashed the whole GPE before which resulted in being stuck at bootlogo

Yep. The old partirion tables are incompatible with the new bootloader apparantly.

Can somebody confirm if this works for XT1034 (Retail Canada/US AWS)?

Well it Works but i dont have any network I flashed my modems from the original firmware of the xt1034.
Any Help ?

In the very last step can you try and flash these? Should work, they are XT1034.

Anyone of you who has flashed the ota, could you please upload an nandroid backup of the rom

[GUIDE] Restore Moto E (2015) Stock Firmware

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 oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot erase customize
mfastboot oem config carrier vzw
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
​If you want to skip typing these commands one by one use MOTOEFLASHALL.bat. Place the .bat file inside the extracted firmware folder and run it.
4) Wait, you should now be rebooted into a fully stock Moto E firmware.

Hi thanks for the link I've created a new thread to manage Firmware

any stock firmware for the XT1527?

Stock firmware, non carrier
I tried following the steps to restore the firmware, but no luck since I got Preflash validation failed, which I take it to mean the boot.img is not the right one for the moto e2 (bought it from motorola online store). I had everything working, but decided to re-lock the phone, and forgot to check allow oem unlock. When i ran fastboot oem lock it sat there, and then on reboot it didn't start up, just stayed on fastboot screen. No matter what I do I can't get it past it and trying again to unlock it it says:
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.
So now I am stuck in a fastboot loop. Any suggestions for things to would be great.
Thanks.

@lohanbarth
can you provide stock rom for moto e 2015 3g variant

has moto released source or the firmware from the US lte gsm varient? what you have posted is for the EU model.

i'm wondering if the EU model is maybe the international version? which could in fact be used in the US.

Hi all

Thanks if you help

With the Verizon model still having a locked bootloader, is there a possible chance that restoring the stock images from Motorola would allow you past that, or even the bootloader from the same model with a different carrier, this is my only device right now but I would like to test it but can't. Has anyone else thought of this?

Edit: Figured this out... made new post.

Dangerous waters ... and questions
Hi, I own a currently unlocked/rooted XT1524 (LTE/4G) which came with stock rom LXI22.50-24.1 (retde = German retail version).
At the moment I'm running @scritch007's latest rom (cm-12-20150418-UNOFFICIAL-surnia) on it and I'm thrilled to bits that someone made this happen so soon on the device. - Boundless joy, thank you so much.
But now, I'm wondering:

1. Carrier VZW
What does the "... config carrier vzw" line exactly trigger/do when being applied on an European model?
Isn't VZW = Verizon Wireless?
Shouldn't this line read something like "... config carrier gsm"?
Couldn't we omit this line?
What were the consequences?
2. Risks
After unlocking/rooting I made a TWRP Backup (mfastboot boot <twrp>, didn't touch the original recovery) and also did I dd'ing all partitions living in /dev/block/platform/soc.0/by-name/ via adb root shell.
But regarding the soft-brick issues (oem re-lock) described by @Top_Quark and @squid2 here, I'm not sure (and feeling very uncomfortable with my limited knowledge) if I could re-lock the device without problems without my/any fitting original firmware (which one?). - There is only the one mentioned in the start posting (reteuall but with older LXI22.50-13, same cid 7). - So, can I re-lock my device after a TWRP restore/adb dd ... without flashing the mentioned original signed firmware (euretall)? - Or will I being "surprised" by a nice brick?
Checklist of preconditions to re-lock and go back:
Developer options: active
USB-Debugging: active
Enable OEM unlock: active
TWRP, adb, (m)fastboot set up and working
reteuall firmware: downloaded and at hand (retde firmware still has to show up somewhere yet)

Then processing @Lucas Eugene's flashing list
Is this right or am I missing something?
Thank you for your time reading and your replies.

Not everybody uses windows. I am a linux user, so no RSDLite is available. Also not available for mac. This guide is great for people who can't use RSDLite or need to do specific steps only instead of blindly trusting RSDLite.

Thanks, I'm also not fond of flashing ROM images via program scripts, I prefer the old step by step method. :thumbup:

Any word on XT1095 or XT1097_retca-retca? How freaken hard is it to capture an OTA or factory image these days?

I still get "Software status: Modified"

Also, RSDLite does not work in Windows 10.
Thanks for tutorial.

Is this for Stock 6.0 Firmware : VICTARA_RETEU_XT1092_6.0_MPE24.49-18_cid7_CFC.xml.zip

well, it's got all the right words and numbers (although the one I'm running from the TWRP method thread is MPE24.11-18, and this appears to be MPE24.49-18). I'm downloading it now - has anybody else tried it?

The latest version that I see is the 6.2.4, and does not work in Windows 10.
There is another version?

I think "Modified" means you unlocked the bootloader, right?
I used to successfully update my xt1095 to 5.1 by these steps:
unroot by using the uninstalling root function in the SEusers, and flash the stock recovery.img back.
download the OTA update, and let it flash my phone automatically.
got a stock 5.1. then you may do whatever you want.

RSD Lite works perfectly in Windows 10.

I followed these steps, and reflashed to 5.1-21.3, then update to 21.6 (security patch).
Now I'm running 6.0! The OTA works!

We def need to get this stock image re-upped, because I could get gray hairs waiting for this to download... Anyone have any other links? Thanks

help!!! I downloaded the recovery image from the official motorola site, i have system image of 2 Gb and have no idea about how to flash the system image. I have a folder called windows(which was included in the recovery image zip that i downloaded) that folder contains a fastboot.exe file so is that the mfastoot file?If yes then how do i use it?
EDIT- Solved!

Can confirm, this is the real deal. Works a treat, and none of those RPC errors that plagued me on the TWRP backup image.

I am on Brazilian frimware with 6.0 now on my device, but my actual model of the device is xt 1092 Indian version.
I want to go back to Indian frimware. Have anyone tried downgrading from 6.0 Brazilian frimware to 5.1 Indian frimware, is it possible? Is full image of 6.0 out for xt 1092, if so please share the link.

With thnx to @salaesp for finding the MU folder

Used this firmware on my MotoX
VICTARA_RETEU_XT1092_6.0_MPE24.49-18_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
And was able to get back to the stock state. The Bootloader is still unlocked but that I guess I can lock via OEM lock way?
Since this is the latest one couldn't verify if the OTA works or not.

FYI: recovered G5 XT 1676 to stock and updated. :)

Just an FYI type thing that may save people a bit of digging around sometime.
I tried to get the update that just came out, but as i had TWRP as recovery, no good. Anyhow, in my trying i completely bollixed the phone. Would start, but always booted to TWRP and had various conniptions. Could not even get a TWRP backup to load. Strange not encountered before by me stuff............
Anyhow, recovered by the following method to stock and am back in business.
Boot into bootloader fastboot mode.
Extract .xml.zip format firmware file:
eg: CEDRIC_NPP25.137-15_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
to a folder on c drive of the PC that has the ADB and fastboot files in it.
In command prompt cd\ to that directory.
fastboot flash the following in sequence.
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_sparsechunk1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk4
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot

Still get the I cant be trusted page on power up as have unlocked bootloader.
Many thanks to all at XDA, its a resource that can certainly get you into trouble, but then out of it again.

where do you get the stock firmware?

Think I worked out what I did wrong. Somehow, I changed the format of the data partition. Fat fingers at some point??
TWRP backups didn’t like that and would not mount or write to the data partition as it was not f2fs format that the backup had been made in??
Anyway, restored data from a TWRP backup after going to ....wipe…format data. All good.
That gave me the passcode lockout issue at next reboot which can deal with.

We're you able to revert to a locked bootloader after this, I am looking forward to do so

didnt try, didnt need to for taking take the update.
And, from my reading there is no way so far to relock the bootloader. I got it to stock, with stock recovery, and that was enough for me.

You can get rid of that easily
Put phone in fastboot mode
Download logo from link below
Enter the following in a windows command prompt where you have fastboot files & the logo file
Code:

downgrade
thanks for the guide
- can i use this method to downgrade to this version?
- can i do this without unlocking the bootloader
- if it goes wrong can i unlock the bootloader later (i have an unlock code)
- is there a reason why we don't flash sparsechunk.0 ?
thanks in advance

No you cannot downgrade (same firmware version or newer required)
Yes - unlocked bootloader not required
As long as your phone still goes into the bootloader
You should flash all sparsechunks in number order

Thanks a bunch,
So to be absolutely clear, my phone shipped with NPP25.137-15-7 i can't install the stock rom linked, and the same version isn't out yet,
if i unlock the bootloader, would i be able to downgrade ?
Is the software channel setting preserved across this method?

You maybe able to - there are different variants of the same phone
As long as the firmware is the same or newer (as in the bootloader and API version) it may flash
It will either flash or error out
There's only one way to find out - if your phone is dead anyway it's not going to make alot of difference
No - generally you can never downgrade firmware - doing so would be dangerous and you may loose the bootloader for good

thanks again,
motoboot.img is the bootloader you talk about? is the partition layout described somewhere? would custom roms use a different one here?
do tell me by the way if i should get this information elsewhere/if i should read something to get started in the whole moto g world.

You're partially right. These commands won't work for our files. You have to flash the firmware according to the instructions contained within the "flashfile.xml" file within the archive. For example we have no "motoboot" partition

I've flashed every stock package available now (4 I think) and haven't been offered an update once. I've ran a couple of custom ROMs but they're just not right in one way or another. Might be time to move on.

I upgraded to this and since then can't downgrade the phone to the stock roms available online. From memory trying to flash gpt.bin gave a "Security version downgrade" error. So I wouldn't assume you'll be able to downgrade and until there is a copy of this particular firmware, you won't be able to flash back or relock the bootloader

Working using desktop browser

I finally managed to grab it. Network was the problem. To anyone with the Jeter, this is also a no go. The bootloader won't accept the Pie boot.img. We're still waiting.

So this message goes out to you and all wanting Stock 9.0 Pie on Moto G6 Play.
I went looking for this update / flash for my G6. After a bit of searching, found it with great help from XDA forums
DISCLAIMER
I am not to be held responsible for any of the damage that occurs to your device during this process. You are yourself responsible for any damage done (if) to your device during this process.
REQUIREMENTS
Make sure your device is charged above 80%.
I recommend creating a backup of all your important files before beginning with this process.
I also recommend removing your Google account in the phone settings prior to doing all of this...
STOCK FIRMWARE MOTO G6 PLAY LINK HERE
Find appropriate one for your phone and region. For example - mine was in Official --> Retail --> ALJETER_RETAIL_9.0_PPP29.55-25_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip <-- this is the file I downloaded.
Your firmware MAY NOT be for download. It is upto you to find the correct one for your phone and region. I do not know all the codes for different regions. I know that aljeter = MOTO G6 Play. I have the Retail UK version - hence I used the Retail firmware. You may need to find somewhere other than the provided link for your firmware...
Please bear in mind that once you upgrade, you cant go back. So please make sure this is what you want to do.
Some notes;
1 - You can only flash a firmware that either exactly matches or exceeds your version. You cannot downgrade flash.
2 - the bit thats says _PPP indicates it is Pie 9.0. Look at different available downloads and you can see in contrast _OPP which means Oreo.
3 - Pie 9.0 fixed my problems I had with Oreo, namely the fingerprint scanner not working in Banking apps.
Install Motorola Driver - I used Motorola_Mobile_Drivers_v6.4.0 from HERE.
You will need adb and fastboot installed. A quick and easy way to sort is to install minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.3 - Download HERE or Google minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.3_setup.exe and you will find elsewhere to download.
Once you have downloaded your .zip firmware and have Moto Drivers and adb / fastboot all setup, you need to extract the contents of the zip file to the folder where minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.3_setup.exe was installed. For me this was C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
Download flash_rom_fixed.zip Attachment at the end of this post - Kudos / All thanks to the user vortrum, here on XDA.
Extract the flash_rom_fixed.bat from inside the zip file and place it into the same folder you extracted your .zip firmware into.
Now, turn off your device and boot into bootloader by pressing volume down button +power button simultaneously.
Now, connect your device to your PC via a USB Cable.
Hopefully - on connection of the USB cable you will hear the Windows ding (or whatever noise you have) that lets you know USB device connected.
TIP!: To fully confirm - you can open a Admin (elevated) CMD window, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder, and type in Fastboot devices -if USB connection is successful, then your phones Serial will be displayed. If nothing is shown, I would reboot Windows machine and try again.. Also, so you know, you can continue with the instructions below without USB connection confirmation. If there is no connection, then the below will fail anyway, without harm..
Run / open / double click the file flash_rom_fixed.bat and the firmware will be flashed to your phone - this will totally wipe your phone and reboot it once finished.
Alternative / similar instructions for install;
HOW TO INSTALL STOCK ROM IN MOTO G6:
Download Moto G6 Play Stock Firmware.
Install Motorola Driver and ADB Fastboot Driver on your PC.
Now extract stock firmware in ADB Fastboot install folder. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot or wherever you installed it if different)
Now, turn off your device and boot into bootloader by pressing volume down button +power button simultaneously.
Now, connect your device to your PC via a USB Cable.
Open a command prompt window and type the following commands (you can copy paste it all and then press Enter OR copy and paste a line at a time, then press Enter after each line, once each operation is complete. I highly recommend using the flash_rom_fixed.bat file to do this for you quickly and easily ):
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot reboot

Hoped there will be one for reteu so still either wait or root and install GSI like treble or somethimg.

I highly recommend using the flash_rom_fixed.bat file to do this for you quickly and easily ):
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img

So this message goes out to you and all wanting Stock 9.0 Pie on Moto G6 Play.
I went looking for this update / flash for my G6. After a bit of searching, found it with great help from XDA forums
DISCLAIMER
I am not to be held responsible for any of the damage that occurs to your device during this process. You are yourself responsible for any damage done (if) to your device during this process.
REQUIREMENTS
Make sure your device is charged above 80%.
I recommend creating a backup of all your important files before beginning with this process.
I also recommend removing your Google account in the phone settings prior to doing all of this...
STOCK FIRMWARE MOTO G6 PLAY LINK HERE
Find appropriate one for your phone and region. For example - mine was in Official --> Retail --> ALJETER_RETAIL_9.0_PPP29.55-25_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip <-- this is the file I downloaded.
Your firmware MAY NOT be for download. It is upto you to find the correct one for your phone and region. I do not know all the codes for different regions. I know that aljeter = MOTO G6 Play. I have the Retail UK version - hence I used the Retail firmware. You may need to find somewhere other than the provided link for your firmware...
Please bear in mind that once you upgrade, you cant go back. So please make sure this is what you want to do.
Some notes;
1 - You can only flash a firmware that either exactly matches or exceeds your version. You cannot downgrade flash.
2 - the bit thats says _PPP indicates it is Pie 9.0. Look at different available downloads and you can see in contrast _OPP which means Oreo.
3 - Pie 9.0 fixed my problems I had with Oreo, namely the fingerprint scanner not working in Banking apps.
Install Motorola Driver - I used Motorola_Mobile_Drivers_v6.4.0 from HERE.
You will need adb and fastboot installed. A quick and easy way to sort is to install minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.3 - Download HERE or Google minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.3_setup.exe and you will find elsewhere to download.
Once you have downloaded your .zip firmware and have Moto Drivers and adb / fastboot all setup, you need to extract the contents of the zip file to the folder where minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.3_setup.exe was installed. For me this was C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot.
Download flash_rom_fixed.zip Attachment at the end of this post - Kudos / All thanks to the user vortrum, here on XDA.
Extract the flash_rom_fixed.bat from inside the zip file and place it into the same folder you extracted your .zip firmware into.
Now, turn off your device and boot into bootloader by pressing volume down button +power button simultaneously.
Now, connect your device to your PC via a USB Cable.
Hopefully - on connection of the USB cable you will hear the Windows ding (or whatever noise you have) that lets you know USB device connected.
TIP!: To fully confirm - you can open a Admin (elevated) CMD window, navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder, and type in Fastboot devices -if USB connection is successful, then your phones Serial will be displayed. If nothing is shown, I would reboot Windows machine and try again.. Also, so you know, you can continue with the instructions below without USB connection confirmation. If there is no connection, then the below will fail anyway, without harm..
Run / open / double click the file flash_rom_fixed.bat and the firmware will be flashed to your phone - this will totally wipe your phone and reboot it once finished.
