I tried to flash a downgrade image to my moto e 2nd gen. Now Im stuck in bootloader and a warning message for unlocked bootloder. Ive tried to flash logo.bin, and other images aswell with no luck. It keeps asking me to install a valid signed images, I don't know where to find these images. Please help!
You need to do exactly what it's asking you to do - flash valid signed images. Which model do you have (XT152x)? Which region are you in? Which version were you downgrading from?
Just so you know, downgrading the stock ROM is very highly discouraged as it can cause bricking in certain circumstances. In particular, never try to downgrade the stock ROM when the bootloader is locked. You can try flashing back the upgraded images and seeing if your phone accepts them. Be aware that the signed images must match your model number and region.

Thanks for reply.
I don't have these images, where to get them? My model is xt1524reteuall, I'm in europe/sweden and I downgraded from stock Lollipop 5.0.2
I did unlock the bootloader via motorolas site.

Hmm, so you went from a newer 5.0.2 build to an old 5.0.2 build? What were you downgrading to?
Go to this folder: https://mega.nz/#F!rMIhDLgR!oq5Cz_XbgZLEEysmqoYtcA
Navigate to Surnia ->5.0.2
Look for the file XT1524_RETEUALL_MOTOE2... (it's near the middle of the list)
Download and try flashing everything it in using fastboot.

I got my device back!! I did succeed to flash it with this rom "surnia_stock_5.0.2.zip" with TWRP. I did not have the patience to wait at the Motorola logo when booting, I have to wait 2-3 min and 2-3 min for services to start. for the device to boot. But now it doesn't register any sim card when at desktop?!?

I was downgrading to kitkat 4.4.4 due to poor battery in lollipop 5.0.2. I'm downloading a xt1524reteuall rom right now but ir is going slowly.

Oh, you must have flashed something really wrong then. There are no 4.4.4 ROMs for this device. You would have flashed something totally incompatible and highly risky if you flashed 4.4.4 from somewhere. That may have wrecked your modem software too. Download and flash the proper XT1524-specific software with the correct modem. If you are unhappy with the performance of the stock ROM, you can flash scritch007's CM12.1.

Do you have another link to that Rom? FileFactory keeps telling me they are overloaded and it won't let me DL. Side note, I've already tried the 139-64_65 file from https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=72578 and no luck. Still get stuck at Recovery saying "we have attempted a detect to flash." I'm hoping your ROM link is slight different, because the one I found has oem.img as one file, not two sparsechunks. I'm pretty sure I have a real brick.

You must already have ADB and fastboot setup, check here if you haven't already as using adb/fastboot isn't within the scope of this thread.
How to Install ADB on Windows, macOS, and Linux
1. Download the file and extract the zip archive
2. Extract all the files to your fastboot folder. (Not needed if you have adb and fastboot added to the path, if you want to know how to do this, check this guide: How to Use ADB or Fastboot From Any Directory on your Windows/Linux PC)
3. Restart the device in fastboot/bootloader mode and connect to your PC.
4. Make sure the system detects the device in fastboot mode, to verify this your command window/terminal shows a serial number when you type:
Code:
fastboot devices
5. Use the following commands now or you can use the flash scripts provided as attachments to this post:
NOTE: SKIP the oem lock begin and the oem lock commands if you dont want to lock your bootloader
Linux users will need to change the extension to .sh and add sudo before each command or directly run it as a root user .
To simply flash, run the "OEM Flash" file; to lock the bootloader, run "OEM Lock" file.

fastboot oem lock begin

So wait... you can fastboot unlock the Verizon model???
Help please.
Hello,
Could you provide complete stock firmware for the Moto Z2 play (Indian unit), while flashing the TWRP 3.1.10 , it is stuck on boot logo, I again go back to your verizon recovery image flash but now it is looping on the boot phase . Please help me , If you find any useful link please provide me. my region is India.
If I do complete flash of your Verizon's model Z2 on my Indian Z2 unit , whether it will work for me ??? If you have any idea for the Z2 play (General Global unit) , please share us, we will be very thankful to you. Main thing is this it is the new phone so very difficult to find and remedy so far. Thanks

Verizon operates in US and you flashed that for Indian version.Why?There is no official ROM out yet.
Most importantly you did not backup the ROM.
My advice would be try clearing the cache,factory reset.
Moto by Lenovo doesn't provide regular updates.
It is better to wait until Lineage OS pays a visit.
Cheers
wait how did you unlock the verizon version？
Update
New firmware BUILD NPSS26.118-19-4 for RETAIL models is added to the downloads.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620756684
Hi, do you know if is possible to flash the retail firmware to single sim version? (Vodafone, unlocked)
Hello,
I've accidentally did the oem lock...
What can I do to reverse this?
Do I have to send the smartphone back to Motorola?
Says boot image not signed, it does flash the firmware however it does not have fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7 in the zip folder so it doesn't actually flash it. However it does boot up and work like normal.
any word on this working on the canadian version?
it reads as XT1710-01 in fastboot
in the OS my current build number reads as NPSS26.118-19-11 ... i assume thats just a slightly newer version
and so, installing this would return the phone to pure stock - allow OTA and all that fun stuff?

FYI, XT 1701-01 is the US unlocked for any carrier version.
Does this work for the xt1710-09 reteu version?
Can't flash this on xt1710-09 reteu. Says boot.img is not signed. I SO DESPERATELY want to relock my bootloader.. but it doesn't seem to work Any ideas?
I can confirm XT1710-01 works for Freedom Mobile in Canada.
I was rooted and the Motorola got into a Recovery bootloop after a security update. Makes me miss the peace of mind of Cyanogen. Hopefully LinageOS will come here soon.

I got my hand on a chinese Model of the phone. It says XT1710-11. From the first day I was fed up with their safecenter telling me everything on my phone was a virus. Then I realised I could not remove it because it was part of the "Firmware". Things got really bad when I could not use Pinterest or Twitter on the phone. I still dont know why.
So I remembered there was this thing called root that might be helpful. I started experimenting on it and I was finally able to root and installed magisk. But I still didnt know what to do so I decided it will be better to just flash a new ROM and found this trhread....
As I am writing this my phone doesnt have a OS, Back up was wiped at a point I even had to reflash TWRP and remount Data to be able to do anything with it.
I have an old iphone5 lying around that I will go back to in the mean time. But guys please help a poor lost soul. Is there a solution to my trouble?

hello the ota that you climbed December gives me error in my reteu with November patch then I do not know if it is compatible with the firmware that you uploaded thanks

Your bootloader must be unlocked.
You can't lock the bootloader, to do this you will need a signed firmware from Motorola (and no one found yet). Instead you can use Magisk to hide the unlocked bootloader, bypass SafetyNet and be able to use Google Pay, for example.
You will not get OTA updates from Motorola even if you somehow lock the bootloader because your phone is registered forever to the "retcn" software update channel, instead of "retail" or "retbr".
Recommended: set your Platform Tools (adb and fastboot) system wide using this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/guide-how-to-set-fastboot-adb-to-wide-t3591240
Tested for updating from Oreo stock without wipe.
Steps for clean flashing or update
- Place the suitable script attached on the extracted ROM folder and flash (these scripts are only for XT1710-08 variant to prevent lost modem signal)
- After all the commands succeeded, wait for a full reboot (because of encryption)
- Flash TWRP
- Flash Magisk normally through TWRP
- Be happy

Hello. If I use your script is unzipped the rom with update to August 2018 is the same? They are currently on custom rom Firehound! I would like to go back to the Motorola Blur retail. Do I have to give all the commands from fastboot?

I use WinRAR, but 7-Zip should work. Try again please, here is working.
Would it be easy to update the system with the latest patch? I have magisk installed with system from April patch. If so what how would be the procedure?
Followed all the steps and got it working. Thanks so much, the original software on this version of the phone is terrible!
One thing, like a few others, my fingerprint sensor isn't working. Is it as simple as a wipe after install?

Yes I took those out when flashed and still no fp sensor. Thanks for sending on though. I read everything b4 flash but still no fp sensor.
But I didn't wipe 1st so might flash again and wipe 1st?
Everything else working 100% :good:

If you can, please try wiping in first. If still doesn't work, the procedure to solve this is:
- Flash the original ROM (that ugly ZUI one) to get it working again
- Flash the ROM on this thread, wiping, evading that 4 commands
I can help you to find the ZUI ROM if you need.

Just make sure your device is XT1710-08
Tested on a XT1710-06 full wipe and it works great, because i wanted to do and update and i goot bootloop.
Just in case someone find this, im from México, I flashed this fastboot rom and installed Magisk to get root, used the Canary build to make it work with my fav games that are Fate go and Pokemon go (spoof) and it works like a charm, thanks.

Hey I got back to ZUI - the Chinese ROM came up. Fingerprint working. So rebooted into BL and flashed the firmware as per OP. Again, no FP sensor.
I'm gonna try again and wipe after install ZUI, BEFORE flash and wipe Oreo.
[2nd try no better??]
It flashes ok but FP sensor just won't work. Everything else working. When you say "Flash the ROM on this thread, wiping, evading that 4 commands" I use the flash and wipe script and remove the 4 commands (the erase modem seem to have been removed already from the script). Any ideas, I'm so close! Have flashed back and forth a few times tonight. It's fun though! Cheers!

Mine XT1710-08 fingerprint sensor works without removing the 4 commands, I just remove the 2 erase modem (already removed in the flash scripts). Anyway, try to install the ROM of this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/how-to/fastboot-rom-oreo-retail-via-fastboot-t3786153) and see if it work for you. Please post here if you have news about it.
Rooting
I did all the steps and completely reinstalled android 8.0 on my moto z2 play, I then got twrp and tried flashing magisk 17.1, I got stuck in a bootloop but managed to flash the whole thing again, which solved the problem. To make sure this doesn't happen again, could you please state the steps for rooting. I cant remember if it was because I did not input the code into the terminal. When I input the code am I supposed to get a response or message, because it just stays bank?
Thank you

Try fastboot "Boot" TWRP, if you can, it might be possible to use one of the TWRP backups to fix your phone. There is another thread with TWRP backups of stock.

Yes, i tried both the US version and the Brazil version and the Brazil version works. I'm on Vodafone India and everything works perfectly fine on android pie.
However, after several trials and errors, I realized there are two commands that you shouldn't run when flashing pie on the Indian variant. They are:
1) flashboot erase userdata
2) flashboot erase carrier

Is the device carrier locked? Haven't heard of anyone else not having esim, my converted Edge 40 Pro has it. If you can unlock the bootloader you can root the device; since you just got it you may have to wait around a week or so in order to actually be able to enable it in developer options but idk what the situation is for the US variant.

I don't think the firmware has been uploaded yet. You can use ADB commands to extract the boot.img file and use magisk to patch it then flash patch boot, or wait to see if the full firmware gets uploaded. Unless the Edge+ has a different codename from the other Edge variants ( I don't think that's the case ) I couldn't find the full firmware.

The model number in those firmware files don't match the model number for the US variant. I'm assuming the firmware hasn't been dumped yet since the phone has only been out a few weeks in the states.

Maybe a couple weeks if that. It just depends. Not really sure how they dump the firmware and if they need the physical device or not.

You may be able to root the device and change the value. Don't thing there's a file you can flash to override the carrier. I wouldn't recommend flashing the EU firmware. The hardware is slightly different, don't know if it would affect anything.
Any updates? In the same situation. Tried flashing retail US firmware and FASTBOOT oem config carrier but it didn’t seem to work.

I tried flashing with the RSA Motorola tool and the MotoFlashPro, but neither worked with the US firmware. I haven't tried anything else yet, since I'm scared I'm going to mess something up. But if you would like to try, you could try rooting and patching some of the files, or try flashing the RETAIL firmware, although it's designed for xt2301-4 and not xt2301-1.
Flashing the RETAIL firmware may work since others have been able to convert from other regions as well. But as @gibberishman mentioned the hardware is slightly different and there have been reports of nfc not working, etc.

I tried flashing with the RSA Motorola tool and the MotoFlashPro, but neither worked with the US firmware. I haven't tried anything else yet, since I'm scared I'm going to mess something up.

I downloaded the RETAIL firmware and attempted to 'spoof' the Boost software by removing the MD5 checks in the flash script but no luck. Half the items didn't flash due to protected partitions so unless I have an unlocked bootloader, it doesn't flash. What's odd is these are legitimate firmware files straight from Motorola. I'm guessing there is a different signature for these from the standard unlocked variant vs Boost/Dish.

EDIT: Flashing the RETAIL on locked BL caused my device to soft-brick, I had to restore via Motorola Rescue and Smart assistance software which worked like a charm. If open BL, you may be able to change the software/carrier channel then attempt to restore through Motorola tool although YMMV.

Were you able to unlock the bootloader? Usually you have to unlock the bootloader before flashing.

No, when I go to the unlock site it just gives me a 404 error page after submitting my unlock token. I gave up and decided to just use the Boost firmware. The device is sim-unlocked and supports AT&T/T-Mobile.
