Guide to restoring factory Image that works?

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.4
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
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.
https://giveawaytricks.in/install-stock-rom-moto-z-play/
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.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
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

Is this finally the SIGNED stock firmware? I've been dying to have it since I know the unsigned won't allow you to relock the bootloader.

You'll never relock your bootloader , it's over and I can't understand why people think it makes a difference, moto has given you the unlocking key by asking for that key you are unlocked and unlock forever.
Read the unlocking agreement page from moto. You signed off on it.
You'll never ever see signed firmware from moto anyways , they keep them in house, all you'll ever see is unsigned firmware packages.

I want LOS14.1 on my phone, but it's better to keep on stock 7.1.1? Normally you are right, because it's stupid to change the rom just because the number (7.1.1 to 7.1.2).

Assuming you have fastboot installed on your pc
Download firmware and unzip to where you have fastboot
Open command prompt at fastboot location with firmware
type the following although I have marked lines that you should not use unless you have to as flashing wrong firmware can damage your device
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set Only required if you wish to relock bootloader - if not skip it
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin Do not use unless you want to repartition your device - incorrect file will damage your phone
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img Do not use unless you want to replace the bootloader - flashing wrong file will hard brick
fastboot flash logo logo.bin No need to flash if you are going to flash a custom rom after and have already flashed a modded version
fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase userdata Will erase everything on internal storage but you need to do it
fastboot erase customize Not sure about this - might be for other device
fastboot erase clogo Not sure about this - might be for other device
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear Only required to relock bootloader if you used the very first command

How do I relock bootloader and go back to stock on moto G5s?

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)

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.

Oh thanks, I'm gonna check it there, because it's indeed a Moto G5S.
Only thing I'd like to say is that on the XDA Labs app the only forum shown when I search for Moto G5S is the Moto G5 forum, no variants are presented, whom should I report this to, so that it can be fixed?

[Q] How do I fix camera in Pie custom roms? How do I return to stock 8.1?

Hello. The phone is with my mom now and I haven't been here to know how rom development is going. She complains that camera doesn't work so I want to either return to stock or flash a pie build that has 100% camera functionality or a fix. Can you guys enlighten me?

So it doesn't matter if phone is on 64 bits or 32 bits?

Why would it?
You are flashing stock firmware which will replace what ever is on your phone
Stock firmware for this device is only 32bit - it doesn't matter what rom you are currently using

Thanks a lot man, mom is happy!

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,

But the bootlogo of the ROM will stay the same right? ? I like the LOS logo ?
I just want to remove the warning.
Thanks!
