Stock O: ALBUS_RETAIL_8.0.0_OPSS27.76-12-25-15_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip

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.

Manual method:

Code:
fastboot oem lock begin
fastboot oem lock begin
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 dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize (optional: will erase any customizations if ordered through motomaker)
fastboot erase clogo (optional: will erase the custom boot logo if ordered through motomaker)
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot

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

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.

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 use Titanium Backup to freeze the Motorola Update App. No more update notifications.

Help! First time trying to flash a ROM and it doesn't go well So far

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?
