Moto Z official firmware downloads

[doree]

Hi,

how do I return to a stock rom? I'm on RETEU, updated to latest Nougat OTA and messed up with TWRP afterwards. And I don't care for relocking my bootloader. I just want to get back to a stock ROM so I can use it as it's supposed to be. Or does anyone else know a solution to revive a this phone? I'm still able to access the Bootloader (fastboot).

Hi,

how do I return to a stock rom? I'm on RETEU, updated to latest Nougat OTA and messed up with TWRP afterwards. And I don't care for relocking my bootloader. I just want to get back to a stock ROM so I can use it as it's supposed to be. Or does anyone else know a solution to revive a this phone? I'm still able to access the Bootloader (fastboot).

I had this exactly happen to me. I tried to restore my backup of System Image and Boot in TWRP but after a reboot, it still jumps back to TWRP.
I then went back into the bootloader and select 'BP Tools'. It stuck at the unlocking bootloader warning screen for a while. Held power button to force shutdown.
Went back to bootloader again and select 'QCOM', gave it some time (and maybe one reboot, can't remember) and it boot back to the OS with a message saying that OTA failed. Everything else intact.
After that, I can boot/reboot normally again.
I do not know what 'BP Tools' and 'QCOM' are supposed to do so, try those options at your own risk.

As for stock rom, I can only find a complete image for XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_RETEU-EMEA_6.0.1_MPL24.246-17_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-03_CFC_EMEA.xml.zip which dates back to Android 6.
I suppose you can try flashing this way and OTA back up to Nougat.
Edit: I forgot about bootloader locking so that might not work.

I found a Nougat Stock Rom Image that helped without any hassle. My phone is usable again and can't be any happier now. Thank you nevertheless!

Where did you find Stock Rom Image for EU ?

Where did you find Stock Rom Image for EU ?

I`ve tried a couple of Images I stumbled upon and figured out, that if you flash the RETBR Rom, it get's recognized as RETEU and even uses the RETEU Softwarechannel for OTA's. Flashed it and was getting all the necessary Updates (3 or 4, I reckon) until the very last security update with no problems at all.

Thanks ,
I will try at home.
You did as fastboot flash partition gpt.bin etc ?
And the phone still unlocked ?

Yes and yes. The phone is still unlocked.

Just create yourself a batch file and use the following commands:

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
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 system system.img_sparsechunk.10
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.11
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.12
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.13
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot erase ddr

fastboot reboot

 

[ArRaY92]

fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase ddr

Don't ever do that, DDR probably contains something important. Since I did it, on every boot, my phone says:
ID: BAD KEY

Foobar

It'S even part of the offical flashing :

Firmware "flashfile.xml"

<step operation="erase" partition="ddr"/>

Okay good, I seem to have missed that file, and instead only looked at the servicefile.xml

Anyway, a question:
How can I upgrade from stock 7.0 rooted to the newest OTA? I tried flashing stock first, then doing all OTAs, and in the end flashed TWRP, TURBOZ kernel and SuperSU, but all I ever achieved was booting to recovery only or being stuck on the Moto start-screen. I remember seeing additional camera features at some point, even though all OTAs only said security update...

fastboot reboot

Thanks a lot ,
with the ROM you recommended and the flas information it is working fine
During bootup ID: bad key is now standing there (before N/A) but is no problem in functionality.
I hope soon official LineageOS will support Moto MODs...then I can flash back.

RETUS Nougat file?

I keep getting prompted to upgrade, but can't do OTA because of rooted. Anyone have the RETUS Android 7 Nougat firmware?

Which Root-Method did you used ?

Normally : Root, Costom Kernel or Systempartition = No OTA's anymore.

I have a unlocked Bootloader, but the rest is as it is. No Root, no nothing.
Even the unlocked Bootloader rendered my Device to : Saftynet CTS profile match : fail.

Hi. I'm looking for a stock ROM, Brazilian if it is possible. That URL (RETBR Rom) is broken. Do you know where I can find this or other similar ROM? Thanks.

RETUS 7.0 file

Look here https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/griffin/official/RETUS/

Thanks for the link! The 7.0 file doesn't say RETUS in the name, so is it the retail US version?
