Hi Everyone
I have a Z2 Plus 64GB India released model running Android 7.0 and March 2017 security patch. I have unlocked bootloader, installed twrp and also rooted using su zip file.
I have made the necessary tweaks that I wanted to do with the device and want 1) unroot (I know how to do it. Not an issue), 2) Replace twrp with stock recovery. But even after searching around in different forums, I am not able to find the stock recovery image anywhere. Can anyone help me with where to find the recovery file?
Also is it enough to only replace the stock recovery or boot image also requires any re-flashing? I am not sure about this.
Appreciate your help.

After the last OTA update, my Moto G5 started to boot with the following warning:
"
Your device has failed verification and may not work properly.
To learn more visit:
motorolacom/unlockbootloader
ID: N/A
Your device will boot in 5 seconds
"
It also started to restart randomly.
I did some research on the web and found out that this warning appears when someone unlocks/roots the device.
The problem is that I aver never unlocked the bootloader or rooted the device.
When I boot to fastboot it says "OEM Locked" and the app DevCheck says that I am not rooted.
It seems to me that the update corrupted something and now some piece of software flags my device as unlocked.
Besides the irritating screen, some apps are not working properly or cannot be downloaded from the store.
I tried to reset to factory settings and wipe caches. Problem still happens.
I'd like to know if you guys know a solution for this problem.
I saw on another post that this problem was happening on some Verizon Moto Zs and they provided a software to reinstall the rom
Unfortunately, Motorola has not released a software to do the same to unlocked devices.
My ROM version is: NPPS25.137-33-6 (yeah, there is an "S" that I don't find in the roms available here)
The baseband is: M8937_8000.122.02.45R
(CEDRIC_BRAZILDSDS_CUST)
I was thinking in loading the rom into internal memory, reboot in recovery mode and flash the rom using the option "Install package from zip".
Do you know if it would work without an unlocked bootloader. Is it safe?
Thank you for the help,
Don't know if you can flash the boot logo without an unlocked bootloader but if you can here it is
Put phone in fastboot mode
Download logo from link below
Enter the following in a windows command prompt where you have fastboot files (Google to learn howto install Android sdk) & the logo file
Code:
fastboot.exe flash logo logo-g5-fix.bin

If you can't then you have no option but to wait for Motorola to fix it if you really haven't modded your phone
TheFixItMan, I really appreciate your answer.
But in that case wouldn't I just be changing the warning screen?
The problems with Netflix and other apps would remain.
I need something to fix the cause of the problem.
Have you guys heard about that problem before?
This guy had the same problem, but verizon patched it:

You can go back to stock using ADB update or by flashing VERIFIED images in bootloader mode. This will work even when bootloader is locked.

To flash using bootloader I need just to copy the .zip in the internal memory, reboot in reboot in bootloader mode and select the option "install from .zip file"?
Where do I find the verified image for my device?
If I flash an unverified image will my device brick ou the bootloader will present a "impossible to procede" screen?
Thank you for the help!

you can flash what ever you want in fastboot -
However - In terms of firmware, if you are trying to flash incorrect firmware then the verification check will fail and it will not flash
Just don't flash a new bootloader if you are worried about it - its not needed unless you are upgrading an android version and that version has an updated bootloader
So I am safe if I follow these steps:
Manually Update Android Nougat for Moto G5 (NPP25.137-33) via Recovery
First of all, Go to Settings –> About Phone –> Tap on Build Number 7 Times.
Go to Developer Options –> Enable USB Debugging.
Save Stock Android Nougat rom for Moto G5 and save it in Internal storage.
Reboot Moto G5 Plus to Recovery Mode.
Select Apply Update from SD Card.
Select the Downloaded ZIP file from SD Card.
Wait until Installation process Completes.
Once the Installation completed. Reboot the Phone.
If my ROM is a wrong version, will the bootloader detect and deny instalation?

if you are talking about an official ota update then it will fail - you cannot update like this
An offical ota zip requires a non rooted device, unmodified system partition and stock recovery
you maybe able to download the ota update and save it (its in the cache partition)
then use flashfire app to install it
note if its a custom rom than recovery mode will allow you to flash any zip and will flash anything unless the updater script specifies a certain build.prop target eg phone model or other criteria that would stop it flashing if it was false
If you want to flash firmware you need the firmware image and flash it via fastboot

You need firmware that matches or exceeds your current firmware version - you cannot flash a lower firmware version

Yeah, I see that, but looking into the stock rom .zip file I cannot find the correct ID that matches to my. But since I posted the reply, I´ve downloaded from a mirror in lolinet, and correct flash my phone.
My phone has unlocked bootloader, TWRP, and is rooted with magisk. Got the OTA for (global) 9.5.4.0 last night - it downloads/de-crypts ok, reboots into TWRP, and then fails to flash. I also tried to flash manually via TWRP by locating the downloaded file, still fails. During the night, it rebooted itself (to try again I suppose), and my alarm didn't go off.
So here I am, late in work, wasting more "work time" to ask you for a possible solution :angel:
Go back to original miui recovery then you can update your miui successfully. After update,reflash twrp and magisk.

Sounds easy, but I don't know how to do that. Could you point me in the right direction?
you can't flash an OTA with TWRP
Flash recovery img with fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then boot your phone
settings->about phone->system update->update
it will get in origin miui recovery and update system automatically
after update finished,reflash twrp and magisk
Thank you very much @jimandy60
With all the respect though, I would prefer downloading the file from a popular location. Is there any way to find this hosted somewhere else, maybe by Xiaomi?

Hello!
I got the same problem but instead to come here and ask for help I tried to solve myself. I downloaded the lastest TWRP version and the device was not going into recovering mode. Then I installed again the previous one without results. I downloaded the TWRP app from Play Store and trying to solve I made wipe data, cache and I am not sure but I think also choose wipe system. Now my phone is stuck on the fastboot screen. Does not start. Using ADB I installed back the stck recovery but the problem remains. Somebody can help me please?
reflash the full rom?
download&unzip full rom package,get in fastboot mode and run flash_all.bat

Thanks, I'll take a look.
Does anyone know where I get the stock boot image to flash to my phone with odin?
Galaxy J2 Pro. SM-J250F/DS (Thailand)
I'm trying to install Magisk but it always fails with the error "Boot image patched by unsupported programs. Please restore stock boot image"
Thanks. Phil

You can download stock from Sammobile or Updato, look in the AP_ file with something like WinRAR. You will see boot.img there.
Just add it to your SD CARD and flash it via TWRP. If you don't know how to flash boot.img via TWRP you can google it

Thanks Matamoros. I don’t know why googling didn’t find those.
Anyway the end to a long long story is I managed to install the stock firmware, so now Magisk loaded without errors and I was able to root my phone.
Job done.
Many thanks again Matamoros.
Hi can i still use this thread? I also need update my phone and i am looking for this AP: FA71_j205FXXU2ARD2 and CP: J250FXXU2ARC3 - which one should i look for? and I cant seem to find the number in Updato or anywhere else. FYI I am now stuck in factory binary which I have had flashed a combination file. Now FRP and OEM are not lock. Any help would be much appreciated...

You can download the latest available firmware using Frija, it's recommended over all.
Hello Everyone
I have a Xa1 Ultra phone (G3223)
After 3 full days of searching how can i root my phone i have come to the conclusión that is not posible because of these failed attemps :
1.- My firmware stock versión (working property) its 48.1.A.2.109 i couldnt find any custom kernel nor recovery that Works with this firmware and because of that i cant flash it, so i cant root it.
2.- I could not find and older versión of firmware that had a custom boot.img or recovery.img so i could not downgrade my phone to root it.
3.-There's only 1 post i found on this forum that had a working custom kernel and recovery to be able to root a xa1 ultra Xperia, but his stock firmware versión was 48.1.A.2.50 so as it does not matched mine any attemp to flash it got me a bootloop
So in resume is there anyway i could rot my xa1 ultra phone or all of my assumptions on my researchs are correct?
my stock firmware is G3223_48.1.A.2.109 is there any way i can root it?
Thanks in advance for any information about the subject
The furthest I got is to the conclusion that we need to downgrade to firmware G3223_48.1.A.2.101, there's a working magisk install for that.
I can't get the firmware anywhere and this forum is basically a cemetery.

Haven't tested but I found this >> G3223_48.1.A.2.101 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-oCN7am9nL5TiDQs5uUdLGtW2zEoSVpq/view
It was listed midway through this website >>> https://www.martview-forum.com/thre...-version-firmware-ftf-lock-remove-file.23366/
The .101 downgrade went fine with flashtool, but the TWRP package I found on the janjan thread just boot loops. In fact, anything that I try ends in bootlooping, even fastboot booting an extracted kernel without modification (extracted with either AIK or flashtool).
I think this phone will be impossible to root unless we find the original 48.1.A.2.50 software.

After flashing TWRP did you immediately factory reset? [Flash TWRP, reboot into TWRP, Wipe]. With other devices I've had issues occur if I did not remember to.
Hello, im trying to update my phone to android 8 without custom roms, but every guide I find, has dead links, and also I didn't update to NPPS25.137-93-2-5 when it was still available, thanks.
TWRP is official available for that device
https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotog5.html
stock ROM can be downloaded here
https://mirrors-obs-2.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/2017/cedric
Does blank flash mean it will erase everything?
look at the size of the file, it is only the bootloader. you need to download stock ROM according to your region, for example RETAIL or RETEU
