Hello,
First things first: thanks for this great tool! I needed to restore the original firmware and didn't know how to do that. With this tool it's quite simple.
I had only two small problems:
- the first time I've run tour .bat file I seen several commands being executed, all of the m with an OK in the end, but after all process the phone didn't boot, no recovery also. I ran the .bat file a second time and it's OK now.
- another strange thing happened: the boot logo screen reverted to the "unlocked bootloader" screen.
A question: can I flash only the bootlogo screen via adb?

@bhu999 Thanks it worked awesome.
one question can i get official OTA update from Motorola if i root my device now ??? Because for rooting custom recovery is required and it is impossible to get OTA while on custom recovery. Right ??
yes u can but with stock recovery
just flash the stock recovery to get the available update also
In One Click method u can get the official available update after completing the whole procedure
hello,

unless someone wants to share his (for the same model and firmware), you don't. try the guides to downgrade to mm and then upgrade to nougat again. and take a backup of your boot image in twrp before modifying nougat
what will happen if I flash a boot image of another model of the same phone?
Hello,
I recently bought (ON DECEMBER 2017) the moto g5 plus (XT1686) Indian model..
After a week I unlocked the bootloader and installed PixelExperience 8.1 ROM,
unfortunately, I deleted the TWRP backup, so I search for "how to install the stock firmware",
I downloaded an old firmware (it has January 2017 security patch) and installed it thus, I lost my IMEI number it shows 0 when I dialed *#06#.
After that, I got an update on this firmware, when I updated (Hoping for I get back my IMEI), the phone got hard bricked,
then read a forum on xda , tried blankflash and got back my access to bootloader,
after that, i installed "XT1681-XT1683_POTTER_BRASIL_LATAM_MEXICO_7.0_NPN25.137-15_cid50_subsidy-DEF" firmware over and over but the phone doesn't boot anymore it stucks at boot logo,
then I installed twrp recovery and installed Pixel experience ROM again, but I didn't boot, always it stucks on boot logo,
then I select Factory mode instead of reboot in bootloader menu, then it booted into Pixel experience ROM, but the SIgnal is STill GONe,,
any solution....
i went to a local mobile repair store,
they also not able to fix that,,,
then I go to the Motorola service center, they also failed,,
the moto service center guy told that the Firmware installation stops at 80% because of twrp installed...
any permanent solution, please help..
Thanks in advance.. ?

Try to install this firmware using fastboot...
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620771881
It's for the Indian variant XT1686 and is the latest so far. One advice, simply never downgrade a Moto device to a lower version of ROM than what your phone was running before you unlocked and installed a custom ROM, it bricks your phone and you'll end up with an expensive paperweight.

Were all the commands successful? And about the booting condition, someone had this exact booting issue and I can't remember where it's posted, so I may not be able to answer that. Can you try rebooting to bootloader from TWRP's reboot menu?

Try using Albus Blank Flash https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/foru...oto-g5-plus-hard-bricked-solved-t3662734/amp/
And then your device will wake up in dummy bootloader
Then flash the gpt and recovery img
Then flash twrp recovery!
I think this method will work

Only when i select factory mode in bootloader menu, then it boots into rom*

Yes If you can access to bootloader then flash the latest twrp 3.2.1.0 For g5 plus and after flashing recovery then flash the debolated rom first!
Do not flash stock rom first you have to instal Debolated rom you can easily access to the rom from Xda
And then you can flash any rom after debolated
Hi, if you wish to sell your dead mobile,
Please let me know

Okay 1st of all
install This TWRP only
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/development/dev-64bits-t3708091
and Then install any Custom Rom
I suggest these
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/development/rom-resurrectionremix-v6-0-0-oreo-t3754057
or
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/development/rom-lineageos-15-0-t3673573
Let me know
Only Do Clean Install
I too have the same no signal issue, but I have my EFS so I can get my IMEI but no signal in any sim. The sims are detected but there is no signal and it says Radio OFF , so I tried #*#*4636#8#* menu but it didnt help either. I lost signal when I was on LineageOS and tried flashing magisk and DolbyAtmos. After that I flashed Debloated and got the signal back but then I tried going back to stock and ever since I regret my decision. I have tried flashing different ROMs but no signal issue remains in each and every one of them. Even EFS dont help as I get my IMEI but no signal. Any help would be really appreciated.
Hey guys, I tried flashing the stock moto oreo rom (october patch) through 1. flashing via fastboot and 2. twrp flashable rom.
Both methods worked but I lost my IMEI, regardless of which method I flashed the rom with.
I had made two EFS & Persist backups (one from resurrection remix rom and one from a twrp nougat june patch rom) and tried to restore them after flashing the moto oreo rom, but no success.
Can anyone help me with this? I really want to use the stock oreo rom!
Please help guys!
What version of twrp?
twrp which error during restore?
Ever flashed someone else's persist file when you were on stock?

Try flashing one of the full flashable zips from that thread, get the last one. But in the installer, do not select firmware.
Hopefully that will get you going again. And no, don't ever install an ota.

Thanks for all your help is there any way to fix OTA updates? like relocking bootloader? or should I just leave that unlocked ?
I just installed \POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
and am getting a 3g \ H signal now but its a different sim card and service from original card, seems to be working now
Is it just oreo that screws everything up , I know this is all over but its not very straight forward
im no android expert clearly

Bootloader doesn't matter, can stay unlocked.
And the IMEI/4g problem is Nougat only, never heard of someone who lost something on Oreo or when updating to it.
If you flash latest Oreo firmware for your region (endings with 17-xx are US, 13-xx is for the rest as far as I know) you should be good to go.
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 ?

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.

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.

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

and Motorola drivers

installed on your PC.
For the fastboot commands you can use this flashall.bat:

Hello Sir, i was on OPSS28.85-13-5 when i flashed custom rom. The link you provided lists OPSS28.85-13-3 as the latest firmware. Should i install that? I am from India if that helps. Help please.

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