Following the great success of the original Moto G, the best-seller for Motorola, the company has now released the 2nd generation of the phone. The Moto G is known for offering outstanding features and performance at an incredible price and this factor is the greatest reason behind its success.
The new Moto G brings exciting improvements over its predecessor and sports a 5.0-inch (720 x 1280) HD display, 1GB RAM, 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 Quad-core processor, microSD slot, 8MP primary and 2MP secondary camera and 2070 mAh battery. The phone comes with the latest Android 4.4.4 out of the box.
The Moto G 2014 is already available and if you have already got hold of it, bookmark this tutorial for future reference. Today, we’ll give a detailed guide about how you can restore Moto G 2014 to stock firmware and lock its bootloader in case you have already unlocked it. Suppose you have a rooted Moto G and you have also installed a custom recovery, you might get into a situation at some point of time when you’ll have to flash the official firmware to recover your phone. By installing the stock firmware, you can unroot your device and return to stock recovery.

Just so you know and just so many users don’t brick their precious phones that in my case (5.0.2), there are 5 img_sparsechunk files in the firmware folder (0,1,2,3,4). That is, after this command ‘mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3’, add ‘mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4.’ if applicable. Check the firmware folder first!
thanks it works great!
but after i install kitkat i update lollipop officially after that my phone won’t start up… my mobile was dead help me!!!!!!

Is your device getting device by ADB?
Poorly done tutorial, you don’t take account that adb.exe is not included in the android sdk download nor do you explain how to get it. 4/10
Did you even try check things before drawing your fantastic conclusion? The tutorial uses minimal ADB and Fastboot tools.
Besides, ADB and Fastboot files are included in the Android SDK by default. You only need to navigate to the “platform-tools” folder.
2 eye-opener screenshots have been attached below. Between, blaming is the easiest thing to do.
You did not mention that you have to set adb as a system variable so the executable is recognised to be able to run any commands in the first place, and platform-tools and tools only show up after running the SDK.
It’s because you need not setup the Android SDK. Using the mfastboot is enough
I understand that you dont need the SDK, but for the folders to appear eith the adb executable and msfastboot I needed to run the SDK first for those folders to appear, plus the 1st command line (adb reboot boot-bootloader) you need windows to recognise adb before hand. Hence you need to add it to the system variables, or else you will only get an error stating that its not a known command on the terminal. You probably overlooked it, but for future reference I would advise you to add a link on how to do that so for anyone else that has no idea what to do can have some information.
Thanks anyway.
Just open the mfastboot folder and issue “adb reboot bootloader” command. It will work.
no it does not work that way , ratchet is right we need to run sdk for windows to recognise adb
thanks for posting your comment..! i would not have known what was wrong if you hadn’t.
plzzzzzz help i got to kitkat but now the icon for switching the camera has gone
it is stuck on front camera
You toggle between front and rear cameras in Camera settings.
there is no option for it tooo
I keep getting device not found and I know that my usb drivers work because my device shows up when I connect while it’s powered on please help
Then the problem might be with the ADB and Fastboot drivers. The best way to know if everything is fine is to connect your phone to computer when it’s turned on and type this command (without quotes) in the cmd: “adb devices”
I noticed that the USB debugging wasn’t connected with my pc the only problem is I can’t give it access as my touchscreen is broken on my phone so is there some way I can bypass this that you know of
I don’t think ADB will work without Debugging enabled.
I have left my phone on standby for the last few days and I could use my touchscreen for one session which I used to allow debugging after doing this I booted into bootloader and I tried to run the command again and it just says waiting for device and my fastboot and adb work fine
It’s a driver related issue.
it wont recognize my g2 but it recognizes my smartwatch so it cannot be a driver related issue (I have tried removing my smartwatch)
If you have ADB working for one device, it does not make a case for it working for all other devices. “waiting for device” means ADB is not detecting your device. Do you have USB Debugging enabled on the phone?
hello.i am from india. i mistakely wipe system files (all), i unlocked bootloader of my moto g2 (2014). now i flashed RETAILDSDSALL_XT1068_5.0.2_LXB22.99-16_cid7_CFC with above steps. . and now my moto g2 is in ON condition but there is no network in both sims. 1 slot is saying “emergency calls only” and another 1 is saying “no service”. please help me 1thing also now my moto g2 syatem version is 21.11.14. please help me as soon as possible

After Following all the steps mentioned My Moto G 2nd Gen xt1068, it Shows an Error Message:- Failed to boot(this happened when i executed the command to lock my bootloader/oem). Now My phone shows Bootloader unlock message and starts to fastboot mode …… when i try to do it agin from the 1st step my device is unable to be detected [error: device not found] i tried step 7 also… help me to restore my phone to stock mode and lock bootloader.
Try this for the Indian version:
mfastboot.exe oem lock begin
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot.exe erase modemst1
mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot.exe erase cache
mfastboot.exe erase userdata
mfastboot.exe oem lock
After flashing stock rom, will we get ota updates?
Yes.
@DroidViews:disqus, will I recover the guarantee if I lock the bootloader? Some people say that instead going to status 0 (locked), locking again causes an status 2 (locked again) in the stock recovery.
I wanna recovery my guarantee. Is this the correct procedure?
Regards.
@Christian de la Cruz :- Its True When Unlock your Bootloader your warranty is “VOID” , But after Flashing your Phone ….. Re-Installing Android OS & Locking your Bootloader will turn your Status form 0 to Status 2. It Indicates you have Unlocked your Phone & Again you Re-LockedIt .
I got a bootloop trying to install CyanogenMod 12 in my xt1063. if i follow this process will work with my droid? will be in kitkat 4.4.4 stock?
mfastboot software is pished!
What do you mean?
my antivire says – pishing
If you have download “mfastboot-v2.zip”, it is safe to use. I used it today.
Disable Your Anti Virus And Then Download…

C:UserssavvyDesktoprestore>adb reboot-bootloader
‘adb’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
it is also showing that adb is not recognized as an internal command
it is still showing waiting for device
You are still making mistake. Looks like I won’t be able to help you.
Sir im getting error Device not found plz help me sir urgent i reed to unroot &RE-lock boot loader of my moto g2 xt1068
Open up Device Manager on Windows and Uninstall the Motorola Driver and just re-install it bro. Also don’t forget about using the proper USB Cable because that might be another issue you may be encountering. Also If your doing this through Linux / Mac OS X it will not work I’ve tested it on both and it does’t work.
K THANKS

nop 8
canu u plz give me the solution r else my mum will give my phone in the service centre

How did the device get into bootloop if you did not do anything at all? Are you using Win 8.1?
and my mobile has also gone into a boot loop i think so cause its not sarting up
waiting for device
it is just showing and i have done everything correctly
every time they are sating device is waiting when i start , i install all the driver though that
error is comming what to do
please help
That points to USB drivers issue. Also, where did you launch the cmd window from?
To check proper drivers installation, connect the device to computer, make sure to allow debugging on the device, launch cmd window and type “adb devices” and hit enter key.
if i have to unlock the bootloader again ,do i have to do the some thing which i did before like getting the moto id and unlock code and doing that again ???
help me out i followed the steps carefully but now my phone is not starting it is just showing the “warning bootloader unlocked” screen and nothing else is happening
To Start of with this tutorial was horribly done this is the proper steps you need to use in order to flash the software properly + have the bootloader locked
In the command prompt enter this…
mfastboot.exe oem lock begin
mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot.exe erase modemst1
mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot.exe erase cache
mfastboot.exe erase userdata
mfastboot.exe oem lock
mfastboot.exe reboot
When your phone reboots don’t worry if your boot screen says bootloader unlocked everything is working fine and your bootloader is unlocked just flash the logo too
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
AND BAM WOLAH
At what points do you think are the steps wrong. We would like to know of our errors, to improvise.
Here’s my tip of advice : Give More Description, Adding Videos are nice too, and don’t forget one thing because you guys forgot to add
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
in between
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
and
mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
it keeps saying “waiting for device”
Reinstall the USB drivers.
I reinstalled them but its still saying waiting for device
I love you peter you saved me money and my phone!!!!!!!!!!! like you dont understand the extent im happy to man i gave up on my phone after flashing the stock firmware and it being stuck in a boot loop but saved my life!
<3 you too
Thaks you peter!!!!!!!! it works so perfect to me!! 🙂
hey my device is XT-1068 KXB21.85.23 and there is no firmware available for this so can i use RETLA_XT1068_KXB21.85.24
Yes you can, Go ahead and flash.
hey what to do my mobile cant pass the warning bootloader unlocked page after this above process
Have you tried the firmware i provided?
And read step #7.
hey i cant find my device firmware XT-1068 KXB21.85-23 plsssss……help meee
Try this firmware: http://d-h.st/VOw
is this firmware supports my device
This wont work because there are 4 system images – system.img_sparsechunk.0 system.img_sparsechunk.1 system.img_sparsechunk.2 system.img_sparsechunk.3. If you dont flash all of them, it won’t boot and it will be stuck at the bootloader. Please fix this guide.

http://180upload.com/bzl3ah1wov5g
hello, i have a XT1063 so when i flash the boot and the recovery i receive a purple message. “hab check failed for recovery” hab check failed for boot” . After that the phone turns on normally, but when i try to update by OTA and try to enter to the recovery it shows the image of a dead android. Help pls!
It seems like you corrupted your recovery partition while trying to flash it. And hence, the Android bot warning logo shows up. Try and flash the recovery partition again in fastboot mode using the following command:
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
i tried and tried my friend, also i tried to flash the boot part but nothing. same error. =/
After doing a little research, I found out that it is an issue related to fastboot binaries. Try using these fastboot files: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4PT9WP-u_z9NXRBWF9EV2lGcWs/edit
i used them. This is maybe because i got my bootloader unlocked? or
A shot in the dark, have you updated your bootloader to Android 4.4? Secondly, is your bootloader locked or unlocked?
my bootloader is unlocked. i dont understand about the uploading of the bootloader?? how cna i know what version it is ?
Avoid that mess right now. Go ahead, lock the bootloader and try the procedure again. It has come to me in a bit shock that the steps are giving an error.
i got an error when i enter the code to unlock.
=/
Tell me what error?
Hab check failed for boot
I have the same problem! Any update on this?? 🙂

Do you have your bootloader unlocked already?
my model is moto g 2014 (Indian)dual sim and i am flashing with “RETAILDSDSALL_XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-14_cid7_CFC_SVC.xml” file.
i had a rooted and unlocked bootloader with TWRP installed .
i first didnt notice this error and went on with the process later when my phone didnt boot .i realized that this error is there .now my phones screen is flashing ever 4 sec the unlocked bootloader message untill my battery goes off..
thanks replying in short notice
Yes if it is present, it should be flashed.
Wait, I also see that you’re getting an unlocked bootloader message. Try this and see if it boots again, then you might even need to restore to stock: https://www.droidviews.com/remove-unlocked-bootloader-warning-moto-g-2014/
So. what about locking the bootloader?
Use this command: mfastboot.exe oem lock
or “fastboot oem lock” if you are using Android SDK.
every time I type a command, the answer from the command promt is “fail”
then i rebooted and it was restored, but didn’t install the factory image…
can someone help me?
Do other adb and fastboot commands execute fine?
yes. booting, rebooting, unlocking bootloader… evertything works fine, except for flashing the images…
Have you downloaded the appropriate firmware file?
my bootloader was locked :/
I unlockeed it and everything worked. thanks for your help
🙂
please help me,,,after flashing the firmware my sim networks is disabled, what should I do now?
Flash it again. Can you see your phone’s IMEI by dialling *#06# ?
Also make sure to install the correct firmware.
Correction
When you download above firmware there are four ‘system.img_sparsechunk’
instead of 3. So continue as following and it will work otherwise one part is missed and you can’t go beyond boot logo
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
I have X1068 Moto G 2014 with unlocked bootloader.. I followed the above mentioned steps but got bootloop. I tried erasing cache and user data but when I reboot bootloader unlocked warning message comes but cannot boot into system. This goes as a loop continuously.. Please help

yes but the bootloader will not lock
That need to be done from motorolla site.
No I mean that it will not relock the boot loader.
true
but you can change the boot logo. I did on my motorolla no more message about unlocked bootloader 😀
You can use ‘fastboot oem relock” for that.
