There isn't much on restoring this device at all. I'm really disappointed. I had high hopes. Anyway, the root situation is a mess, and after looking on here, I couldn't find a single set of instructions for properly flashing root. After digging around for a couple of hours, the only instructions I can find to revert to stock is:
1) Extract folder on PC.
2) Hold POWER and VOL DOWN on the phone to access the fastboot mode. Try to release the power button first before the VOL DOWN in case you trigger the system boot accidentally.
3) Connect USB cable to PC.
4) Flash in the following order:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.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.8
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.10
fastboot flash oem oem.img
Complete restore
WARNING: May wipe device, and has not been personally tested.
Before flashing the above, flash these first:
Code:
fastboot flash gpt.bin partition
fastboot flash bootloader.img bootloader
fastboot flash NON-HLOS.bin modem
fastboot flash fsg.bin fsg
fastboot flash adspso.bin dsp
fastboot flash logo.bin logo
BUT I cannot get this to work because I keep getting a "Image not signed or corrupt" error. I've confirmed I have the US retail single sim version (Addison).
I also cannot find a working version of RSD Lite that detects my phone. I've tried version 6.2.4.
Would anyone be able to help? I'd really appreciate it. I can get the bootloader up, but I cannot do anything else.
I used the procedure here and it worked for me.

Also if RSD isnt detecting your phone, ADB might not either.

I appreciate the reply. RSD doesn't detect, but ADB can. I can send fastboot commands via the bootloader, so I think drivers are OK. What got me in this mess was flashing the Chinese TWRP posted on the root guide here on XDA so I think the drivers are installed ok. I think it's a Windows thing.
I found that page you're referring to last night and read up on it. I found the retail US stock firmware image posted by another here on XDA and proceeded to go through the steps. After looking, the batch file immediately closed and did nothing. Then I went into the XML file and removed the m in mfastboot. After runnng manually, I found that it kept saying mfastboot.exe is not found. Then it went through every step as I've seen before, but every time a command was finished it would say "Image not signed or corrupt". I believe if I could somehow get RSD lite to work that I would be OK. I'd love to get this thing booting again.

OK, I found mfastboot.exe located here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/gen...ng-mfastboot-exe-to-unbrick-motorola-t3203518) and had NO idea there was such a thing as mfastboot !
Unfortunately when running this, on all of these lines of mfastboot:
mfastboot flash gpt.bin partition
mfastboot flash bootloader.img bootloader
mfastoot flash NON-HLOS.bin modem
mfastboot flash fsg.bin fsg
mfastboot flash adspso.bin dsp
mfastboot flash logo.bin logo
I get "Image not signed or corrupt"
When I flash all of these, they go through OK:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.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.8
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.9
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.10
fastboot flash oem oem.img
So I'm hoping this helps someone figure out what I'm doing wrong. Again, I'm just trying to get back to stock.
- You are restoring the firmware without wiping the device, i'd try fastboot erase userdata first before flashing the rest, could be worth a try.
- I get "Image not signed or corrupt" when flashing a modified kernel too, but it is flashed regardless.
- I got root with the chinese twrp, the others gave me bootloop.
Good luck.
I too have a freshly-bricked EU dual-SIM Z Play that gives "Image not signed or corrupt" errors when I try to flash recovery and boot. Seen by fastboot, but not by RSD.
edit: more of my saga is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/help/identifying-firmware-required-phone-t3517360/
yeahhh, i manage to flash my moto z play back to stock, the rom was bad or something i downloaded from here.

I had the complete restore section reversed when you saw it on my thread, someone pointed it out and it's been fixed now.
Edit: I see someone's done it here too.
You also don't need to restore fully, just do the restore for ota and it should be enough if you've not flashed over the other stuff.
well i forgot to boot and set up a pin before installing TWRP, soft bricked myself for hours, this thread helped me return to stock so i could set a pin so TWRP would work, THANK YOU!
also if anyone else ends up here, and is having trouble finding the US retail stock image, i used the one from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/addison/official/RETUS/
Is that an official signed image?
Can i use it to relock bootloader?
Thanks!

None of the images are signed and won't relock the bootloader.
Would this allow me to return to Marshmallow after sideloading a Nougat OTA, given I unlock my bootloader? I flashed a build from a different region (I think retbr or something) onto my Canadian Z Play, but the build number doesn't match what everyone else is getting from. Just looking to revert to Marshmallow to perform a proper update instead of impatiently sideloading an OTA.

Thank you. I've never had issues doing stuff like this before, but for some reason it scares the hell out of me with this phone. Maybe because I haven't had it for very long, lol. Downgraded to Marshmallow successfully. Hopefully I don't run into any issues in the future that would require an RMA, but out of all the phones I've had over the years, I've only had to RMA a Nexus 5 due to a problem with the screen.
Hi everyone. Is this guide is okay for reteu dual sim? And please point me if there is a firmware for reteu nougat. I softbrick my device and my imei is 0. I want to restore it please guide me as i am a noob in fastboot commands and steps. Thanks in advance

do you have rooted device with twrp (maybe) ?
also, is the boot.img you got from Android 7 or 6.xx ?

A friend unlocked its bootloader and tried to root it with no success.
The phone works but only boots through fastboot, because when I press the power button it enters fastboot mode instead of booting.
I don't know what happened, as I was not the one who tried to root, so I just wanted to know how to revert back to stock and relock the bootloader, since the phone works normally.

If they flashed twrp and your phone can only be started normally through the bootloader see
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/fix-phone-reboots-recovery-mode-started-t3705325
If you want to root the phone stock can only be rooted with a system root
Most roots now use a systemless root which is not compatible with the stock kernel
You either need a custom rom to use the latest magisk root or if you want to stick with stock use an old version of magisk (can't remember which really old version works) or use supersu but flash the config zip first and set to system as default will be systemless
With regards to flashing stock download firmware and run these fastboot commands assuming you have fastboot set up on your pc
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin (do not flash unless you want to repartition the phone)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img (do not flash unless you really need to replace the bootloader)
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.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize (ignore any error)
fastboot erase clogo (ignore any error)
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
To lock the bootloader do the above and then go back to the bootloader mode & enter these fastboot commands
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock (yes type it again)
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 boot boot.img
fastboot oem lock
Then once restarted refresh all the firmware again with the commands from earlier
I have seen though that some boot.img are not officially signed so it may not lock

Yes, thank you.
I was checking the relocking guides here in xda and seems signed boot images are the problem. Anyways, I'll check to see if it works.

Did gpt & bootloader flash correctly?
Did you get errors flashing these?
Read the last few posts on that thread!
You can still boot with the sd card but to boot without it gpt & bootloader must be flashed successfully using firmware that is equal or newer to the version already installed
If you bricked your phone flashing an 8.1 soak test ota you may have to wait until 8.1 firmware is released

i soloved by this method These two files are those that are damaged when doing downgrade on your G5 bike
therefore here I leave you the most updated
so that the flashees and your phone can light up without the SD
if you flash these two you will not need to flash a complete firmware
Just open the folder that says Fastboot and click on the MAF32.exe file or START.bat
Once there you will insert the micro sd on your g5 motorcycle and turn it on in fastboot mode and take out the sd
and then connect your motorcycle g5 that is on and flash these commands
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
and that would be everything and you could start your phone without the micro SD

I applied your method to my moto g5 and I confirm it works as advertised !
I only had to reflash TWRP and the boot logo and that was it. Thanks !
Why you need to reflash twrp and boot logo?
Sorry if it is a lame question. I am also thinking on reverting back to stock.

There is no lame question !
The guide provided by OP erases the TWRP recovery and replaces it with what was on stock (my guess because I did not check, actually). So I had to reflash TWRP to install Magisk, but this is not mandatory.
The logo was back to the "this device is not secure" warning wich is ugly. The unlocked state was not lost (which was fine by me). So I flashed one boot logo to replace that warning.
Okay now I understand. Thank you! ?

How cdo you flash the boot logo? And where can you find it? I also hate the "unlocked device" warning...
Thanks in advance,

You have two options
1 - flash twrp recovery and then use it to flash a custom rom
Assuming you have named the recovery image recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1MLlljM7BzMj9Da57LeyBHyg81cHdW1cB
Then wipe system data cache/format data & follow procedure to flash a custom rom
2 - flash stock rom firmware which can be found (plenty of guides out there for how to just search)
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/cedric/official/
If you have unlocked the bootloader it will always says your device is not secure unless you flash a modified boot image

Dude, I'm a total idiot at this stuff...
I was trying to flash the stock ROM by some help from a youtube channel called Andoid Doctor. I used the codes he gave me and the stock firmware he provided me for cedric. But all my computer showed was some slot error.
I'd really appreciate it if you helped me out.

If you don't know which to choose just use this one

Wasn't trying to go back to stock myself (though I did have to in the end) but this was the only rom I found that worked full stop. Thanks so much for this.
