I used custom ROM on my Moto z for a while.
After that I flashed stock ROM and relocked bootloader and sold the phone to some Indian guy.
Next day he wanted his money back because phone is showing imei 0.
He also threatened me with police because this is illegal.
So is it possible to restore imei or should I just throw the phone away?
Bootloader is showing the proper imei, the same imei that is printed on sim tray. but in the phone it shows 0
Yes, you can flash any custom oreo ROM from development sector and it will appear again. IMEI 0 is a bug, that came if you will flash Oreo ROM with bootloader upgrading and then back to stock 7.1.1. I'm issuing same problem now. But tell you buyeer to don't worry - in real you IMEI for cellular is correct, it's only software bug that it shows as "0".
And another one way to fix:
1. Flash custom OREO ROM
2. Backup your EFS partition via TWRP (it's about 4MB size)
3. Flash latest 7.1.1 official with RSD Lite
4. Flash TWRP
5. Restore you EFS partition, which you backuped earlier
6. IMEI will show correctly now
Hope you understood my English

Thanks, I'm gonna try that. I actually intend to flash stock ROM again
Only reflash stock ROM - is not enough! You will need to do all the steps that i writed. Until Oreo 8 will be realised it is only way to get correct IMEI in stock 7.1.1

My Moto Z XT1650 IMEI Got Fixed
I am in Canada ... just got my IMEI =0 fixed
Tried all the forums to fix issue but nothing worked.
I have talked to Motorola Service Centers and they couldn't do it either...Motorola does not give their Service Centres software repair tools , only hardware fixes......called many phone repair shops in Canada and no one was able to do repair the IMEI is 0 problem.
Phone was purchased on Ebay from the US three, weeks ago and hasn't worked in last two weeks.
Worked perfectly when I got it but forgot to TWRP backup my Persist and EFS partitions before I flashed a Motorola update that showed on the phone.
Update caused a IMEI =0 and my phone was useless
Could see my IMEI number using Fastboot Getvar All but not when I dialed *#06# on my phone.
Called all phone shops including online repair shops that said they could remotely fix it but they weren't able to .
Searched all over the internet and almost gave up until I came across a remote service company in Brazil called Movical.
Web site "movical.net"
Gentlemen's name was Ruben , who I dealt with but we had issues with English and Spanish communication initially 3 days ago and were unsuccessful in out attempts to connect the USB Redirector until today when he was able to start the repair process.
I was sceptical even then but when the servicing was completed, I had my IMEI back and phone worked perfectly.
Ruben was the only person in the world that was able to fix my IMEI =0 error.
So kudos to Ruben and his company as I spent days trying out online solutions and forums to no avail.
PS.. he uses WhatsApp to communicate.... but suggested to him it would be easier for clients to just use Notepad to communicate if they don't use WhatsApp
I recommend his company from my personal experience.
Hope this helps other people with similar issues...you won't be disappointed .
Cost of Remote repair was $62

Sorry for my broken English,
Hey guys i just unlocked the boot-loader to install android 9.0 in it to just enjoy android PIE
and another day i didn't find that custom ROM stable so i flashed the android 7.0 nougat Rom in it through a video a guy posted(how to go back to stock Rom)
Stock Rom name - XT1681-XT1683_POTTER_BRASIL_LATAM_MEXICO_NPN25.137-15_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml (this is the Rom that i had flashed)
and after that an OTA update just arrived and i quickly started downloading it and after it was going to update through restating the phone it just got hard bricked
i searched the whole day then got a fix through QCOM blank-flash file okayyy then went back to boot-loader,
and after this i have tried every moto g5 plus rom out there but none of it works
i have even tried to flashed the latest firmware
Name - XT1686_POTTER_RETIN_8.1.0_OPS28.85-17-6-2_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
but still the boot-loader says security version downgrade,
.
.
This is exactly what it says :
writing 'bootloader'...
(bootloader) Validating 'bootloader.default.xml'
(bootloader) Security version downgrade
(bootloader) Image tz failed validation

After reading your post again i see that you are getting "Security version downgrade" errors. This is because you can not downgrade a bootloader.
But if you use the tool i showed you and flash the boot_image from there and then the stock Rom it should be fixed...
Is that what you tried?

@outis151 is right, all you have to do is flash a new (new means in this case newer than the one you were on before you changed to a custom ROM).
I don't like tools so I would prefer to fastboot flash the latest available signed Motorola firmware which is 28.85.17.6.2:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/13WuhoogtAdoincAyTwCLvRj0d-Z9kL0P/view?usp=sharing
I'm not sure if this is the correct one for your region but that doesn't matter, there won't be any further OTA updates in the future and the firmware is running on every Moto G5+, you just don't get any OTA updates anymore.
So take this flashall.bat :
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zfh67uzfle9hsco/flashallO.bat?dl=0
(or write the commands by hand) and flash this firmware on your device (attention, your data will be lost).
This should make your device work again.

Directly after flashing that firmware take a recovery.log in TWRP and attach it here. You can grab it with TWRP terminal.You'll find the log in the root directory under cache/recovery/last_log.
To attach it here change the ending from log to txt or upload it to some kind of hoster or pastebin.
Most probably the OTA has downgraded your bootloader which could have caused a hard brick.
Have you tried to flash a custom ROM?

Hello,
Sorry if I am asking a dumb question.
My Moto Z is still running Nougat. Both phone and Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant say I have the latest version
I have found many threads about how to flash the Android 8 on this device but actually I am confused because:
My software channel is "retcn" not "retus"
I don't know which guide to follow
So I appreciate if you please help me to find the latest thread about this.
Thank you very much.
Here is your update:
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/griffin_retcn/official/RETCN
Thank you very much.
Now I don't know which one to download, and should I upgrade to 7.1.1 first (as some guides suggest) or go straight to 8.0.0.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Those are full firmware files, you can flash the newest version
As long as you don't downgrade, and flash the correct software channel it should be fine.

Hello,
Thank you so much @sd_shadow.
I downloaded the firmware and installed it according to your guide. Now I have two issues:
1) The annoying "your bootloader is unlocked" message after every restart.
2) Bluetooth is not working at all and the SIM card keeps un-registering and I have to restart the phone.
So would you please help me to:
1) Downgrade to 7.0.0 (my device is XT1650-05)
2) Lock the bootloader again to get rid of that warning message.
Thank you very much.

Sorry for neglecting to mention that. I somehow taught that's obvious.
I have flashed the phone 3 times but bluetooth and sim card issue are not solved.
I appreciate your help to flash back to original 7.0.0 and then lock the bootloader (or lock the bootloader and then flash to 8.0.0 if that's the correct way).

Do not lock the bootloader till it's working correctly.
If you downgrade do not install OTA updates.

Thank you very much. Would you please share the link to the firmware file again? My device is XT1650-05 (Retail China Dual Sim). I think its codename is Sheridan but all firmwares I find online are named "Griffin". Maybe these two are the same but I need someone to confirm it.

This Moto G Power is currently running QPMS30.80-63-6-8-3 and therefore I downloaded XT2041-4_SOFIA_RETUS_10_QPMS30.80-63-6-8-3_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip, patched the boot.img with Magisk and wrote to the phone with fastboot.
Phone on reboot has no touch screen control and erroneously indicates no battery charge. Appears to be a symptom of mismatch of boot.img from downloaded firmware and what is actually on the phone. I don't know how as I downloaded the same version. Obtained firmware from Lolinet. It is a carrier unlocked phone.
Suggestions to other ops in other posts refer to Lenovo's Rescue and Smart Assistant (LRSA) however I have no Microsoft Windows machines in my environment. I have access to Mac and Linux.
Im not sure why the firmware was a mismatch. My phone clearly indicates it is model model XT2041-4 and QPMS30.80-63-6-8-3 which should be a match for what I downloaded. Undocumented variants?
How can I recover this phone using a Linux machine since LRSA is not an option? What are my options? It was my intention to simply root patch to boot.img with magisk (Ive done before with other phones) and apply with fastboot.
What I have tried thus far: booting with unpatched boot.img .. fail and downloading firmware from another source, writing boot.img .. fail.

Looks ok to me.
Maybe the boot.img you downloaded is corrupt.
Did the .zip look like right size?
I guess I would download the next newest firmware and try to flash that boot.img
If that works flash the rest.
I have some Windows instructions Linux should be the same.

I am confused by reading your response. By "next newest" you mean to go backwards to the previous firmware version?
You say "flash boot.img if that works then" so you mean to flash an older boot.img from the previous firmware onto
the phone which is running a newer firmware? That seems like a bad idea since the boot.img from a previous firmware would not be of the same version. Finally it looks like you advise to flash the entire firmware if the phone is
able to boot with the boot.img from previous.
Id like to clarify before proceeding.
On another note: In all of the research I have done online with this model there are some sites that confuse sofia and sofiar as I have seen firmware for G advising sofiar which is clearly wrong. I hope that lolinet is offering the true sofia firmware and not that for sofiar G8 as I have a G not G8. As I understand the model XT2041-4 is the G however some other sources online have it the other way. It is unfortunate that Motorola / Lenovo made the distinction of models of such similar hardware so confusing.

If you could flash the older boot.img maybe flashing older firmware will get the phone booting again.
You also could compare the older boot.img size with the newer.

I am sorry I think I failed to articulate that well enough. The flash process itself did not fail. I have had no trouble writing to the phone from the computer in any event. What failed was seeking a solution to the problem of the phone not responding to touch screen activity. Every time I have used "fastboot" to write to the phone the write process itself completed successfully.
So, what I wanted to test on that occasion was if Magisk corrupted the boot.img so I flashed the unpatched boot.img, which also resulted in the same problem of the phone not responding to touch screen activity. This way I eliminated Magisk as the culprit and decided that the firmware I got from lolinet was not an exact match for my phone or firmware version.
Also, I have read "all about official firmware and where to find it" and I note some issues with that document. Firstly, it is very Microsoft Windows tool centric. Secondly, it fails to recognize that there are two models of the Moto G like mine for US market, one having more memory to better match the G8, although it is still a Moto G.
If the firmware from lolinet was an exact match, I would not be in this sticky situation as of right now the phone is rather useless to me. I have no idea how to obtain a boot.img that matches the phone firmware since the one from loli and one from another place neither worked thus far.

I was having issues reverting to stock boot.img earlier today. I had forgot that it needed to be flashed with fastbootd instead of fastboot. As far as I know, the only way to get into fastbootd is from the stock recovery.

Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot
Hi all,
I am a newbie to custom ROM's world and this is my attempt to it. My device is Moto G5s Plus.
To start with I had an encrypted phone running Android 8. Encryption was mandatory to install some work related apps. Because of sluggish performance I thought to install custom ROM.
Here are the steps I followed:
1. Installed minimal ADB on my laptop running Win10. Connected phone and successfully unlocked bootloader.
2. Rebooted phone in recovery mode and installed 'PixelExperience_Plus_sanders-11.0-20210310-1753-OFFICIAL.zip'.
3. Rebooted the device and everything was working fine till now (restored from google backup and restarted several times to make sure things were working fine).
4. Now as I mentioned I need to encrypt phone for bussiness reasons. So I selected 'Settings->Encrypt Phone'. For very small time a green iconed screen appeared and then phone rebooted.
5. After reboot, a screen with google logo (G) with a small progress bar (kept moving left to right and vice-versa) appeared. I left it for more than 12 hours still hung at same screen.
6. Now I tried to wipe Dalvik/ART cache and cache. This is where problem started happening. I tried few other things (could not recollect exactly). I even tried to erase 'data' from fastboot using 'fastboot erase userdata'.
7. When nothing worked, I thought of installing Pixel Experience 11 plus again from TWRP. The process went smooth but towards the end it showed:
'Failed to mount '/data' (invalid argument)' error.
I am attaching snapshots and logs. Its been more than 3 days being stuck on this issue. Really appreciate any help.
Please let me know if any info is required.
Also since I dont have any data to worry about, so I am open to any suggestion (wipe/format). I have SD card and OTG with me.
Once the phone is up and running, I need to encrypt it back. So please suggest steps while keeping this requirement in mind.
Look for this issue on youtube and you'll find the steps to fix it.
It looks like you have a corrupt file system.
You can fix it using TWRP.
Good luck !
Hi,
I tried multiple steps to fix this issue but none helped.
As for now looks like I have made some progress. What I did was i flashed official firmware for Moto G5s plus as mentioned on below page:
Flash official firmware Moto G5s Plus [sanders]
So far, we have had the guides for you to unlock the bootloader in Moto G5s Plus or how to install TWRP on Moto G5s Plus and today, I am going to show you how to download and Install stock ROM in Moto G5s Plus. So if you probably have already...

Now i have Android 7 up and running. Now I opened TWRP again, and flashed 'PixelExperience_Plus_sanders-11.0-20210310-1753-OFFICIAL.zip'. Though this process works fine but after reboot it is again stuck at Google logo (G) screen.
Please help. I have spent 2-3 days working this out.
Regards.
Hey man.
In order to flash PE 11, like the ROM topic says, you "MUST" be on latest modem baseband ...
You "ONLY" obtain that by flashing the latest OREO 8.1 ROM.
So, you should flash latest Oreo you have and update it till there are no more updates.
Read PE 11 topic again. There you can find out about what i'm saying here.
Hope this helps and again,
Good luck !
Thanks a lot Damage1972 for showing the way forward
Between how did you figured out if this is the issue here?
Based on your suggestion, I flashed stock Android v8.1 and updated it till there are no updates. Phone was rebooting fine. After this, I flashed PE 11 plus and again phone is stuck at Google logo (G) screen.

No problem,man.
About the issue, it's listed on the pre requests in order to flash PE 11 !
It's very clear written on the first page and comments on the topic.
Carefully read the ROM's topic before flashing...
About your phone still stuck on boot : did you go through the steps to correct your phone file system ? And (sorry to ask you this) how did you flash the ROM ?
Did you do a Clean Flash ?
Check your messages.
Also, try this , that's what worked for me :
How to fix unable to mount data internal storage 0mb in twrp permanently :
Note : This will wipe/format your Data partion and your data will be reset. INSTRUCTIONS : 1) Reboot your device into TWRP Recovery. 2) Go to Wipe menu. 3) Go to Advance Wipe. 4) Select Data and go to Repair or Change File System. 5) Click...
forum.xda-developers.com
So few updates:
1. Looks like my mount data internal storage 0 mb issue is resolved (flashed stock ROM and then custom ROM and did not see this error).
2. Regarding how I flashed stock ROM Android 8.1. I downloaded 'Motorola_Moto_G5S_Plus_XT1804_SANDERS_RETAIL_8.1.0_OPSS28.65-36-9_CID50_8.1.0.zip' image from:

After that I was able to turn ON phone with Android 8.1.0. Checked for updates and installed them (i guess there were 3 security updates). Once done, entered bootloader and installed TWRP and flashed PE 11 plus. After reboot, it is again stuck at google logo (G) screen.
One more suggestion i need: Since I have spent a lot of time debugging this and ultimately I have to encrypt my phone. So below queries:
A. Is there any known issue with PE 11 plus on my G5S plus? If so, any workaround?
B. Is it discouraged to encrypt G5S plus running PE 11?
C. I am using 'Settings->Encrypt Phone' to encrypt phone. Should I try any other way?
Thanks and Regards.

Correct. Encryption doesn't work yet on PE 11 (actually it doesn't work on most Sanders ROMs). If encryption + SELinux enforcing is important for you, stock ROM is the only option.
Thanks sBinnala for help. At this point I am convinced that I will not install custom ROM. So I want to have stock ROM (Android 8.1) preferably.
Thing is yesterday I installed Android 8.1 stock rom (exact steps mentioned above), worked fine. Flashed PE 11 plus and phone got stuck at google logo screen. Searched again and though it to be some modem related issue hence I did below steps as mentioned on https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-11-sanders-pixelexperience-normal-plus-aosp.4247243/ by Jorge:
<<
It is recommended that you are using the latest firmware for the Moto G (5S) Plus.
to update via twrp:
Modem only:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ne...5-36-14_v2.0-modem-only_20210307.zip/download
Modem, Fsg & dsp:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ne...S28.65-36-14_v2.0-modem_20210307.zip/download
>>
So I flashed Modem, Fsg & dsp: (second zip) and re-flashed PE 11 plus. Again that did not worked. Now again I tried to flash stock Android 8.1 ROM. It worked but now it is not detecting SIM., showing IMEI as 0 or not available.
I have found multiple pages on similar issue but none is working. Looks like this issue is because of persist file and epf partition which I dont have (infact i dont have any backup).
So can someone please help me in installing stock Android 8.1 which should work fine (sim should be detected). Any help will be deeply appreciated.
Edit: Tried installing Validus and following steps mentioned on https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ork-imei-0-after-flashing-custom-rom.3745474/ but issue not resolved.
If it matters, mine is 4 GB/64 GB, XT 1804 variant.
On some threads, i found inconsistency in architecture (like 32 bit and 64 bit). What is that? I know i have 32 bit TWRP running on a 64 bit Windows 10 machine. I am not sure about stock ROM architecture. Can someone tell me how to check stock ROM architecture?
On another notes: I have tried flashing below stock roms but none of them are working fine (device boots but unable to recognize SIM):
- Motorola_Moto_G5S_Plus_XT1804_SANDERS_RETAIL_8.1.0_OPSS28.65-36-9_CID50_8.1.0_Android8.1.zip

- Validus-sanders-8.1.Beta.1.3-OFFICIAL-20180128-0506.zip
Regards.
Further update:
Looks like I have created a backup using TWRP of original ROM (which was Android 8.1 but encrypted). Zipped it using Android app and then I transferred it to Windows laptop (later realized i should not have done it). Unzipped in android device and placed it in OTG. Restored using TWRP but it is not booting.
Can I do anything now? That is, should I preserve any file which I can later use with stock Android 8.1 ROM which can help me with getting sim signal/IMEI number back.

Encryption works flawlessly with Arrow 11 vanilla.
Thanks everyone for helping me here.
Current situation:
Yes, I have a backup of stock ROM created using TWRP just after unlocking bootloader. The problem with this backup could be:
a. My phone was earlier encrypted.
b. As I was trying a lot of things and given I have 8 GB memory card, I took the backup on memory card, zipped it on memory card (using android app on phone) and then transferred to my PC. Later i transferred it back to memory card, unzipped using other Android phone and restored using TWRP.
As a result I am unable to boot my phone, It stucks at 'Your device may be unlocked ....' screen.
I have stock ROM for Android7 and Android8. I can flash any of them using fastboot. Phone boots ok but the only problem is, it is not detecting my sim card any more. IMEI number is also gone/disabled.
My phone has unlocked bootloader but is still not-rooted (and I would like to keep it this way).
Given i have spent last few days in trying various things, i have changed my expectations to below:
I no longer want any custom ROM.
I just want my phone to boot fine and every functionality like sim detection, IMEI etc to work fine (though i am fine with any android version but would prefer Android 8).
So basically I want to start fresh and have any fully-functional Android on my moto G5S plus Sanders XT1804 4 GB/64GB, dual SIM, Indian variant.
Regards.

Arrow isn't enforcing - it's permissive, which in itself is a huge security risk. Like I said, we don't have a ROM which supports both SELinux enforcing and encryption at the same time.

Normally in such cases, restoring EFS backup will do the trick. Have you already tried that?
After days of investigation, debugging and trying out everything which any post said, I have resolved my issue now. I now have a fully functional Android 8.1 installed on my phone, I am able to make calls, IMEI number is back.
In interest of wider public let me post what worked for me:
Note:
My device is Moto G5S Plus XT1804, 4 GB/64 GB, Retin Channel, India based phone. It is unrooted but has unlocked bootloader.
I have tried a lot many things, flashed many ROMs from different channels but none of them worked.
Below is what worked for me.
Probable issue: During flashing gpt.bin I was getting below error:
<<
writing 'partition'...
(bootloader) Validating 'gpt.default.xml'
(bootloader) Security version downgrade
(bootloader) Image primary_gpt failed validation
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
(bootloader) Cancelling 'gpt.default.xml'
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.074s
>>
I guess this is the core issue. I searched on it and got many forums. Finally below solution worked for me:
Downloaded stock Android 8.1 rom 'stockrom.net_XT1804_SANDERS_RETIN_8.1.0_OPS28.65-36-14_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip' for my device from: https://www.stockrom.net/2020/04/xt1804-retin-oreo-ops28-65-36-14.html
Unzipped this file and placed it at 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot'.
Created my own batch file using instructions mentioned in 'stockrom.net_XT1804_SANDERS_RETIN_8.1.0_OPS28.65-36-14_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml/flashfile.xml'.
Imp note: Do not use fastboot commands mentioned on any forum. Every rom (custom/stock) has a flashfile.xml or servicefile.xml. Open this file and create your own batch file with steps in order mentioned in xml file.
Booted my phone in fastboot mode (volume down + power). Connected phone with PC using usb cable.
Launch 'Minimal ADB and Fastboot' on windows PC. Note: i am attaching all tools that i used to rest version related questions.
Run the batch file you created in step #3.
With these steps, I was able to get my phone up and running. Thanks a lot to all members for their help.
Regards.

What kind of moto g power is it? Can you still get into bootloader?
When I'm asking this what service was it bought under?
Your baseband and bootloader say that it is a sofia and a sofiar? did you make a backup first with rescue and smart assistant?
lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.
lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai

that could be the right one, but if its not you can hard brick it. I got lucky I accidentally flashed my visible g power with the vzw 10 one thinking that'd work...
Mine is actually the sofia Retus builds.... Retus stands for no carrier....
if your not on any of the carriers listed id try retus first if you don't have a backup....
Whatever carrier you got your phone with at certain time of year try googling that with xda or duckduck go....
Also use latest version! https://github.com/Vachounet/moto_flash_toolhttps://github.com/Vachounet/moto_flash_tool
to flash a stockrom from the bootloader.....
I wish they had better guides here. Also save yourself some headache, I tried to use twrp and I'd just recommend to not use it. Use fastbootd instead...
There is no how to guide in here just grab the how to from whatever rom your downloading.
Be sure to flash a android 10 stock rom not a 11. All of the customs here are based on 10....
I swear it took me hrs of reading just to gather all of that intel and why they don't have a guide here for new people is beyond me....

EDIT: Looking at your first post again, looks like your bootloader is locked.... if it is
EDIT" If you skipped unlocking your bootloader theres a guide on here for unlocking the bootloader.
Since you still have access to your bootloader refer to that guide and unlock the ***** and then jump back to these instructions....
according to that picture you shared your using the wrong stock rom. I love rescue and smart assistant hehe. Give this one a shot here.

on phone hold vol - and power key to enter bootloader
on pc run moto_flash_tool-win.exe from within moto_flash_tool_windows
if it doesn't run, redownload the tool and reextract it again using a different zip program, reboot pc......
select flash/extract stock firmware
and choose your firmware in the folder.
Let the process run till your phone reboots a couple of times, Don't interrupt it as it will take 5-10 min to do its thing. the first reboot you'll see the software do is bring you into fastbootd and then flash a couple more things. So its going to do all the work on auto pilot....
After you do all of this, DO NOT USE TWRP! If you do don't flash it and don't reboot from side "B!" it will BRICK...
Good luck....

I can't activate oem unlocking and usb debugging because I can't access the system which is broke. And as a consequence I can't unlocking the bootloader.

(bootloader) ro.build.fingerprint[1]: PES31.Q4U-47-35-9/54bc43:user/rele
I have a question, why can't I find a rom with the same specification? I've looked everywhere.
there are several roms.... ex: RPES31.....QPES31 ........less than I want. (PES31.Q4U-47-35-9). <----
(bootloader) version-bootloader: "MBM-3.0-sofiar_retail-0f8934adaf-210928" <----
The only way to bring my cellphone to life is to get this rom that I update in motorola.

The stock rom your referring to is this one. " You really can't figure out that rescue and smart assistant shows your ro carrier as retbr?" I'm being really nice about giving you the same location and everything on it. In Fact I'd say your pretty go lucky that the same one is there.
I'm gonna be a good human here and give you the link again.

Your phone is not retail it is RETBR. look at the 47 35 9. I forgot about checking the unlock option in the developer options. Actually you don't need usb debugging. If it is retail go get it! Go TRY IT! all the stock roms are there....
If I were You I'd try to load this stock rom through rescue and smart assistant first. If it don't work then also try the moto flash tools.
if you don't know how to put the stock rom there google it...
I showed you the links and pointed out that your retbr. Its up to you to figure this mess out that you created now.

Each folder is an attempt. I've tested almost everything, I think it's time to give up.
Anyway, I appreciate it, I really created the problem and it's up to me to solve it. Thanks!

Cada pasta é uma tentativa. Já testei quase tudo, acho que é hora de desistir.
De qualquer forma, agradeço, realmente criei o problema e cabe a mim resolvê-lo. Obrigado!
