sorry, I didn't be to explicit, yea Im asking to somebody to link me a rom or a nandroid backup or a twrp backup of the moto e tx1526 cdma sprint, because I already try almost all of the roms and non of them still working for me, and I delete accidently my own backup.
or probably still not release some sprint rom's?

I didn't find your specific ROM yet but there were XT1526 ROMs which may help from this note I made for myself back when I needed mine... Its possible that a similar ROM may work for you. Just make sure you are using GSM version if you are GSM and vice versa: Installing incompatible firmware can lead to hard bricking.
Do not rely on these links to last. Some are already down.
RETUS = Retail US
TMO = T-Mobile
This is the only source of leaked Moto E Firmware. Some Links are down. The XT1527 TMO (T-Mobile subsidy) version works but it may lock only to Tmobile. I assume you can flash to any of those carriers to inherit their subsidy.
FileFactory
Flashing a compatible ROM will not:
Mess up Fastboot
Lock bootloader (it is possible to lock it, however, locking* the bootloader could screw up your last chance of restore.
Flash a compatible ROM will:
Overwrite Recovery (easily reflashed)
Remove Root (easily reflash)
Reset everything to near factory settings.
Fix Baseband
To reflash ROM:
I've put together some commands that are needed to flash the rom files. Copy and save as [any_file_name].bat
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot oem config carrier vzw
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Save .bat file to the same directory as the rom files.
Have Fastboot installed.
Have Moto Drivers installed.
Boot Moto into Fastboot mode
Load terminal and confirm connection to device. (Type "fastboot devices")
$cd into a folder with extracted .xml files.
In terminal, type [name_you_gave_file].bat and it should automatically start flashing the rom files.
Reboot phone and it should be* restored.

Try one of these three XT1526 ROMS (actually 2: the boost subsidy version won't help you obviously)
Good luck!

Huh, I tried again and this time it worked. The problem was that previously I used a script to flash and it did not include a fastboot invocation for the last piece of the system image.

Yea that does to me too, but don't use BOOST 5.1 instead use Boost 5.0.2 and once you started it will ask you on your phone to OTA upgrade

Did you make sure to unlock your bootloader?
Also, you shouldn't bump a year-old topic.

Boost Mobile (CDMA) Moto E 2015 Stock Firmware Restore Guide

Hello all!
In an effort to try and help Boost Mobile users out, I have put together a stock restore guide for the Moto E 2015. There are other versions of a stock firmware guide, but those are for GSM and others not using CDMA. Here you will find steps to restore your Boost Mobile Moto E!
First off, I am NOT responsible for damaging your phone or any user error. USE THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
If you are here reading this guide, you have either bricked your device or just want to go back to the stock firmware. If you are using a custom recovery such as TWRP, any saved nandroid backups will be lost if saved on internal storage. This will factory load 5.0.2 Lollipop fresh out of the box the day you got your phone!
Firstly, you will need ABD and Fastboot and Motorola Device Manager. You can download Motorola Device Manager directly from here.
I have attached ABD and Fastboot to this post for download.
To use ABD and Fastboot, you will need to make a new folder and extract the zip to the new folder and name it fastboot. From there, you will need to launch a command window from that folder. The easiest way to do this is to to have that folder selected and Shift/right click and "Open command window here". From there, if you have done this right, you will have a command prompt window ready to go!
After you have setup your new folder with ABD and Fastboot, you are ready to load the stock firmware to your Moto E! Download link is here
After you have downloaded your stock firmware, double check to make sure you have XT1526_Updated_SURNIA_BOOST_5.0.2_LXI22.50-14.6_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Extract the contents of the file you downloaded to the folder where you put your ABD and Fastboot in.
Once you have everything ready to go, power down your phone and put it in bootloader mode. Hold power and volume down for a few seconds and you are there. Attach your USB cable from your PC to the phone and be ready to load several lines of code. Flash these codes in order. Copy and paste if you like in to your command prompt, one line at a time!
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot oem config carrier
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Once you have done this, restart your phone and wait a few minutes for the boot sequence to start. If you have done this right, your phone will be factory fresh with the stock firmware on it!
If I was able to help out, hit thanks! :good:
This is my first guide and I had to look everywhere to find out how to do this for Boost variants, and hopefully it is ok for everyone to use!
EDIT: I updated the download link. Sorry about that.
Will this relock bootloader?

No. There are certain steps to relock the bootloader, but it does no good now. You can still OTA with an unlocked bootloader, but as far as factory warranty goes, its void as soon as you unlock it. The only reason you would ever want to relock it is if you were giving the phone to someone who didn't know anything about rooting our phones.... it just doesn't do any good.
Thanks. I may try this, but not until after I flash cyanogen 12. That won't be until they get LTE working on CDMA Boost Mobile variant.
Also, why do you need to have Motorola Device Manager?

Thank you I finally got my Moto e back to stock with twrp and root with SuperSu which Borks my cameras. LOL. The only thing I had to do different I had to use MFastboot and there is a 1 click installer to do it with.
I really appreciate you looking out.

Glad I could help out!
Hey, this forum looks really helpful, but unfortunately the stock firmware zip link isn't working for me. Is there any other place that you might suggest getting it from? I do have two of the same phone if it's possible to retrieve the firmware from another one, but I wiped my first one which is why I'm here in the first place. Thanks!
*EDIT: Hey, no worries, I found another file of the same type, but I can't post the link yet. (Follow the Moto E 2015 thread to general to "| Read Before You Flash | Unlock | Restore | Stock Firmware |," follow the link there, and find the other, newer, XT1526 file.) I just installed the drivers, got the minimal adb/fastboot zip, and followed the commands given above. Thanks for your help, everything is fixed now, even my service is back!
Will you provide the link when you can?
I could use a link as well :|
Sitting ducks until i can flash stock back on.

is there any way you could pm me a link to a working xt1526 rom?
Download link is updated.
Does this remove account information and installed apps? Do you have to activate phone with Boost again or no?
Nevermind. I just went for it and the answer is Yes, it removes accounts and installed apps.
And No, you do not have to re-register with Boost Mobile. Full system restore.
Confirm working for Boost Mobile XT1526 CDMA LTE.
Thanks so much for this thread. You're going to save SO many devices!
After flashing this my stock recovery gives me a dead android (on it's back with red triangle) How can I get stock recovery back? Can I flash stick recovery via adb?
Edit: So after further Googling, my understanding is that the red triangle android is supposed to be there... but I've tried all the suggested button presses to get the actual menu to appear. I'm trying to get the menu on the Moto E 2015 CDMA LTE Boost Mobile.
Can someone tell me the actual button combination to get the stock recovery menu to appear?
Edit: OMFG! People are so stupid... I'm going to make my own youtube video and post it for our phones.... All of the guides were wrong!
To enter recovery menu (after android with red triangle is displayed) press and hold power for 3 seconds, then tap the volume up once.
I will post a video on how to do this for moto e 2015 CDMA XT1526. Hope this helps anyone else who was confused/concerned about their stock recovery partition not working after flashing back to pure stock.
Edit: Here's the video of how to access the contextual menu of Recovery on the Moto E 2015 4G LTE CDMA Boost Mobile variant (XT1526)

You're entering the commands incorrectly. For example, the first command in your example should be "fastboot erase modemst1", not "fastboot erase D:\ADB\XT1526\modemst1". Enter the commands as shown in the first post of this thread.
Brainfart bigtime. Thanks for the catch. I'm going to get the tire pump for a refill.
If you do this after updating to 5.1 ota will the phone still work correctly?
Meaning you will be back to stock recovery, stock system, stock firmware, and Android 5.1 OS?
Question?

Help: XT1511 bricked
Hello, my XT1511 has been bricked, had installed CM12.1 and TWRP but the error information to be going to an external hard drive via a laptop with ubuntu mate is present. My terminal only presents the logo of the brand and enter fastboot, have tried to follow the steps but I get errors that you can not write to the device, the debug options and OEM you were disabled so the OEM unlock does not work how I can get my device?
Regards.

Welp! Wifi dead!

Hey y'all! Sorry to bug ya, but my XT1528 Vz Moto E is wifi-less I was tinkering around, trying to get s-off through a combination of sunshine+kingroot, and when I mucked that up, I just restored to the stock rom posted on Mega. Unfortunately, alot of errors popped up in fastboot and now wifi is unusable :crying: DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS?
You restored the same version firmware you had when you bought it ?
Or a newer version or alternate carrier version ?
Also did you have 5.0 originally then put on 5.1 ?
I screwed up my wifi before doing that eh..
Make sure you have Otus or Surnia properly picked out (for which you have / need)

S-Off? This is a Motorola S-off is for HTC. Also, I don't think you can fastboot flash a Verizon Moto E, as it's locked.

You can't even unlock the bootloader on the VZ variant or mount system as r/w, so not sure what their S-off attempt did.

So I solved the problem. Apparently, the theres TWO flavors of Verizon's 5.1, and I was flashing the older one. Also, I adapted my mfastboot commands to be similar to the ones in the script included in the firmware. So now wifis back in action! Thanks for your time!

If I'm not mistaken, the Vz Moto E would be able to have S-off except there's no way to achieve even temp root on 5.1

Hey y'all! Sorry for silent! In between college and looking for exploits in the XT1528 bootloader, I have had NO time whatsoever :crying: Its rather aggravating, these variants of popular phones with locked down bootloaders! but after seeing Moto unlock the Vz X 2014 bl, I remain hopeful!

Why are you assuming that I'm using the Indian version ? The phone was purchased from Amazon in Italy and I was trying to flash the stock retail EU 5.1
I tried the 4. KitKat but i got some error about downgrading.
What you actually did, before this problem was caused?
Were you using the same rom(that you're trying flash) ??
It's not my phone, but he said that after an updating (was a normal update. I suppose it was the 5.1 update) he started receiving this problem.
Can you help me?
Okay skip the boot.img step and execute the rest of the commands.
Okay I will try
So i tried but this commands failed:
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk2

That's not done dude.
It shouldn't have fixed your device the main part was this
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk*
and that returned Failed too. Since the bootloader isn't unlocked so flashing custom recovery isn't possible too.
There's no other way I can see but device is bricked.
So is it impossibile to unbrick it?

Hi, did this get resolved? I have the same problem. My XT1021 (UK Tesco variant) had been switched off for some time. When I turned back on it was looping in fastboot. Could not even turn it off. I tried flashing with a number of stock ROMs using usb to PC and mfastboot commands. Many stock ROMS caused errors on various commands, the 5.1 UK Tesco variant seemed to work perfectly - no errors displayed on phone or PC. But hone now boots too fastboot and shows the failed to validate system image error. Battery is apparently OK .. is something else likely to be toasted?
Its an old phone but would be good for my son as he starts senior school until he has proved he won't lose it
Similar Problem with Moto XT1225
Hi there, I've similar problem with XT1225.
I tried to lock the oem and it is locked with status code 2. I forgot to enable OEM unlocking from the Developer options and now I have no way to boot my device it always end up loading into fastboot mode.
Any help would be appreciated.

There's probably guides on it around here, maybe in the general section.
Curious why though? And if the Z is like the X, it won't return to "locked" state, it will go to "relocked." I don't know that for a fact, but that's how the X is. So it won't help for warranty, plus they already know you unlocked if you used their site. And not sure apps looking for a locked bootloader will accept "relocked." But that's purely a guess.
BTW, of its like other devices, you lock it using fastboot.
With command "fastboot oem lock"

Made a batch file (edited from evogp autoscript file for moto z play) for relocking. worked with my flashing 25.86--17-3-4 on my retus. Make sure you update it with the amount of sparsechunks you have
phone shows as oem_locked but with modified software (probably wrong firmware or something on mine since i manually flash nougat on it from other software channels)

It flashes whatever firmware is in the folder with it. I'm on a stock room but bootloader shows as custom software. Probably due to flashing retmx or retbr before

I used the script to relock my own bootloader.
He looks like he is trying to flash an older boot image. Try a newer one.

Again, and it is said many Times here in the Moto Z Forums :
impossible to lock, because firmware-images are all NOT singed by Motorola, to be exact : boot.img and recovery.img.
https://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/solution/MS91987
Well and these signed Images, arent in the Wild. Only Lenovo/Motorola has them, here :
https://motorola-global-portal.cust...edirect/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images
but only for some Devices, and there is no Moto Z yet in the List. So the only Way is to send it in to get it relocked correctly, and they maybe will charge you for the Process/Service.

It most definitely works for my Moto Z, uploading a video shortly of it. Able to add a CC to android pay so apparently passed safety check
Skip to 8 minutes or so, thats when it relocks and reboots, no unlocked bootloader warning etc.
pardon the error in the center, had to rename mfastboot as fastboot in the script and fuggered it.

OK Taphus then do go a bit deeper into your Specs :
What was the Devices Retxx before you unlocked, and which firmware RetXX used you to relock the bootloader ?
I was RETEU (Germany) before, but because there is only a 6.01 Image, it isnt possible to flash with Nougat Bootloader.
SO i used and tried RETBR, RETMX and RETLA, got all onto the latest Security Patchlevel, but i didnt got the Bootloader locked at all.
And here Moto says that only they can do it.

Yes and thats it : The Image checks the Device, if it's on the same Retail-Channel (Thats why you're on the RetEU-Software-Channel, even if you flash a RetMX Image).
So if the Retail-Channel of the Image differs from the Channel on the Device : Bad Key, GPT wont flash and Bootloader Lock not possible, until you send it in to Motorola or Motorola releases a Image for your Channel.
So i have to correct myself : Images are signed, but only for the RET-Channel of your Device.
Could you please extract and post your bootloader.img? I am in version 91.05 and it does not allow boot.img to flash as the boot.img has bad key or no key. I am able to flash outside fastboot oem lock command, but if I issue a oem lock command, my version of bootloader is not allowing me to flash boot image.
edit: I got the bootloader but everything else flashes but the gpt bin, and hence I am unable to flash boot.img..

my boot img was from the firmware file i used.
I re-locked it using this method , it worked but after getting it up and running I did an OTA update and bricked my device. Once I get it back on , can I still use fastboot to load the ROM?
guys, help please, where do I get signed boot image ?

This is not an official Motorola Recovery Image, you will have a warning that this is a wrong software when you boot up with your re-lock bootloader. And also no future OTA update.

Is there any way around this?
I'd happily install an old version of android that was Official, just to get rid of this warning. I'm pretty sure the battery is faulty in my phone (or something else is that drains it super fast), so I'd like to return it for repair. I tried Android 7 and AOSP-roms (without google services) just in case it was Moto firmware killing the battery, but no luck. Now I'm left with the firmware warning even after I put the Moto ROM back in and get OTA security updates.

No unless Motorola releases their signed images which will most likely never happen. This has been said many times throughout these forums and it's in the FAQs thread.

Not without rooting your phone. If you do not plan on rooting your stock install, the only thing you really can do is change the font display size.
Magisk has several modules that will allow you to change your system default font. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

I had this problem when I used the latest android SDK tools. If you use the linux-fastboot or mfastboot (Windows) Motorola utility it will just work. Alternatively, try and find an older version of the ADB/Fastboot tools.
There is nothing wrong with the downloaded ROM.

I have XT1900-02 (stock rom unrooted and bootloader locked) I only want to flash the modem or baseband file instead of the entire rom as i am having issues with Volte(No incoming calls) service center flashed my device but it didn't help.
Please help me with the steps or commands that i need to use to do
Unlocking Bootloader, Rooting, Etc
Hi, I have recently purchased the XT1900-2, 6GB, 64 GB model and have updated to 9.0 using the procedure in this thread. I would like to know what are the possibilities of rooting, unlocking bootloader without losing warranty?
