Check in fastboot if your device is locked. If it is then flash original logo.bin file to remove warning message.

The device status is now locked. I tried to flash the logo.bin that came inside 4.4.4 zip, but the warning remains..
is there any other logo.bin file that needs to be flashed to remove the warning. If yes then where can I find it?
also since the device is now locked won't there be any problem flashing modified .bin files?

I am Starting this with a very simple reason that the filefactory link for the Firmware which is the only link currently available right now is a crapy link. The download failed six times before i could finally download it. So After all the hassle I went through, I am uploading the firmware with a dropbox link and hence a lot more trustworthy.
I am changing to google docs and dev-host, hoping this link would survive a lot longer, and i'll be putting more mirrors soon.
4.4.4 is not Pre-installed on any Moto G, hence Restoring to stock is only possible via first falling back to 4.4.2 and then updating the system to 4.4.4.
LOLLIPOP is out. KITKAT is moved into Legacy SectionUPDATE: 4.4.4 is now available out-of-the box hence it is not mandatory anymore to revert back to 4.4.2 if somebody wants to restore Moto G to stock. Direct restore to 4.4.4 is possible All KitKat Roms are moved into Optional section. I still love kitkat and I am not ready to move to 5.0.2. I will wait for it to mature
UPDATE: 5.0.2 is now available out-of-the-box hence it is possible to revert back to it directly! Sorry, I have been little late in uploading because of my exams
Thread is little messy, I might organize a bit more.
When Can I Use This?:
1. Your phone is soft-bricked
2. Your phone is hard-bricked but goes to bootloader
3. You want to update your phone to 5.0.2 and OTA is not working.
4. You want to downgrade from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 or 4.4.2
5. You just want a factory reset
6. You want to come back to ASIA Retails after wondering in GPE or GB firmware
Pre-Requisite:
Installed Motorola Drivers.
Instructions:
1. Download 5.0.2 firmware and Extract it to a folder (More Links and mirrors in Downloads section at the end of the post)
2. Download mfastboot-v2 and Extract it into the same folder
3. Reboot the phone into Bootloader
4. Step 4 can be done two ways Method 1 is manually typing commands and teaches you how a bit about android Method 2 is more automatic and easier
Method 1:Run Following commands from the Command Prompt after cd-ing to the folder, one by one
If you do not wish to lock bootloader skip 4.1 and 4.3
4.1
Code:
mfastboot.exe oem lock begin
4.2
Code:
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
4.3
Code:
mfastboot.exe oem lock
4.4
Code:
mfastboot.exe reboot
OR
Method 2: Download Retail_AS.bat/Retail_AS+LockBootLoader.bat from Attachments, Extract it to the same folder and just run
5. And there you go! Phone is booting Lollipop

Remedy ::: Flashing Failed
Thanks @sw33ty4ppu for asking this question.
Critical Commands (Absolutely Necessary Commands, which if failed will hard brick)
Code:
mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
Non-Critical (If these failed, It will still allow you to go to bootloader and start flashing again)
Code:
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
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 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
First check which command gave you an error in flashing.
Any of the non-critical command fails to flash, You can start flashing again and hope it might work, you can also check if the downloaded files are proper or their extraction from zip is proper. You can ask for help here on XDA in Q&A section as well.
Any of the critical command fails to flash, it is absolutely necessary that you do not exit bootloader. Because when device is in bootloader mode, bootloader is loaded into RAM and is still the original copy, you can still take the phone which is already in bootloader mode to a friend's place and get the flashing done there. But if you reboot bootloader somehow(knowingly/unknowingly). Man, You're screwed. Morale of the story, don't turn off/ reboot your phone until correct flashing is performed.
This also is another reason that experienced users prefer to enter commands manually than rely on an automated .bat or .sh script.
OTA update instructions
There are two things necessary for OTA
1. Stock ROM (so you get notification)
2. Stock Recovery (so the update is automatically installed)
FAQ:: Does having root affect the OTA update? ANS:: No
FAQ:: Can I retain root after OTA? ANS:: No, root is lost
If you are looking for a Flashable Zip for stock ROM, Then you can go here by @Sk.D.
This version however is pre rooted and does not flash stock recovery!
I do not appreciate my Noob Friendly Instructions being copied! I really put hours into making it simple. Least I expect is a link to my thread
Anyone willing to mirror the link is welcome!

I think you can because the firmware would carry Motorola signature and hence shouldn't have problem installing it form mfastboot. The gb firmware should pass signature verification and get installed

For all Condor Owners if you wish to restore your Moto E back to stock then follow the guide, Ask any doubts in the comments!
Droid-Developers Website is down, I don't have any locally stored copy. Please wait until the link is updated or better sources are found. If any of you are having the original firmwares in your Hard-drives, Please, upload them and share their links, this would help the community in general. For now I am helpless and this post will not make sense.
I did find some firmwares for moto E here
DISCLAIMER:
Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research! YOU are choosing to follow this method to restore, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
Pre-Requisite:
Installed Motorola Drivers.
Instructions:
Go to This This link, and download the firmware for your model! If you are unsure which one is yours please see Appendix 1
Download mfastboot-v2 and Extract it into the same folder
Reboot the phone into Bootloader using VolumeDown+Power Button
If you prefer an automatic one click process please go to step 5
Shift+RightClick in empty space in the extracted folder and choose open a command window here.
If you do not wish to lock bootloader skip 4.1 and 4.3
4.1
Code:
mfastboot.exe oem lock begin
4.2
Code:
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 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
4.3
Code:
mfastboot.exe oem lock
4.4
Code:
mfastboot.exe reboot
OR
If you just did 4th step, You can skip this
Download Restore.bat/Restore+lock.bat from Attachments, Extract it to the same folder and just run
And the phone is as good as new.
So now experiment all you want, flash different firmwares.
Appendix:
How to choose Correct Firmware for your phone
If you are unsure which one is your firmware, go to Settings>About Phone>System Version the text written there will be similar to the version you want to choose!
If You cannot access your phone or have changed ROM, then please go to bootloader mode using step 2 and 3 from instructions, Open command window like in step 4. Enter
Code:
fastboot getvar ro.build.version.full
. You will see the version to choose in output.
Still cant find, then wait the list at droid-developers is still expanding, your firmware version will be soon up
If you don't like the bootloader unlock logo then here is a method by @cschmitt originally posted here
Download this file, copy it to your fastboot location
Reboot to bootloader using Power+VolumeDown
Do following command from command prompt
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Reboot and enjoy
If flashing is failed in any of the commands
Thanks @sw33ty4ppu for asking this question.

Maybe a noob question but want to know how different is the mfastboot.exe from the normal fastboot commands?
Edit: I checked with the files in the directory linked for mfastboot and found the files are from android sdk. correct me if im wrong. Thanks in advance

What mfastboot is basically a set of extended commands for normal fastboot, what Motorola has done is taken the fastboot protocol that is integrated into the bootloader code and added additional features and operations to fit with how there devices partition schemes are laid out and how they have designed the devices. In summary think of it as fastboot from the Android Open Source Project (Which is what is found in the Android SDK) with extra features for Motorola devices. The files in the directory you saw do come from the Android SDK however mfastboot and fastboot included in the Android SDK are not the same, mfasboot and the files from the Android SDK were bundled together for the convenience of downloading them. Let me know if you still have question's I'll be happy to answer them.

Thanks for the explanation
The reason why i wanted to know is, i use lubuntu and don have any windows PC i cud use. Was able to root and flash the device using fastboot, so in case i wish to lock it back, dint want to go through the hassle of searching for a windows PC

You could try the bootlogo restore method for moto G, it is unconfirmed weather it works or not!
Otherwise you will have to wait for someone to modify the logo!

No Locking bootloader needs a fresh firmware! you will need to wipe your device with its internal memory completely,
Thanks ! Worked Perfectly !

I would recommend taking a look at this guide , it steps are essentially the same for the Moto E and since part of the guide involves GIMP you will be able to follow along on Linux.
I am Starting this with a very simple reason that the filefactory link for the Firmware which is the only link currently available right now is a crapy link. The download failed six times before i could finally download it. :highfive:

I had the same issue. What I did was, in code 4.2, before this line:
"mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin",
i added
"mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3",
as in the archive, there are three sprsechunk files.. Then the device booted up fine. Pls try and do let me know if I am wrong.
Is it necessary to flash all modules if we just want to return to stock recovery and remove root? Can we remove root and lock the bootloader without flashing all modules?
Thank you very much bro.. Issue resolved

Im not able to flash the rom. Extrcted fastboot and rom in the same folder. shift and fight click, run cmd here. i entered the command but it says ' waiting for device' im rooted , bootloader is unlocked and usb debugging is on
Hi , guys after been long time i jumped from my old Galaxy Ace to these MOTO G2 , the concept of rooting and flashing on the Ace was very different from these new devices , we used to have one click flash got ROOT and again with one flash we got UNROOT , tada !
But in these devices for rooting we need to first unlock the boot loader and then we are free to root it or flash or any modding , but what if have to unroot and lock the boot loader ? , though unrooting is a quite a just one click we got unrooted phone but at the time of locking Bootloader we face errors .But why to lock it again ? though every one has different thinking but these is for those who want to lock . But at the time of locking ERRORS What are they ? how to solve them ? searching over the whole Internet but didn't found a proper solution ! So these type of situation is very critical for new users who are new to these like me ( jokes apart) . So below i have explained a little bit & a fail safe process , I am not taking about tools and download links for them just a process .
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Various ERRORS which we face like
Code:
(bootloader) sst lock failure!
OKAY [ 0.011s]
finished. total time: 0.012s
Code:
failed to validate system image
Code:
Executing ".\Windows\fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img"
target max-sparse-size: 256MB
sending 'boot' (10240 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.505s]
writing 'boot'...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 1.090s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
These type of error we face while locking boot loader , now do note these things first of check out the build number of your phone & download the same build number firmware , or if there is updated version then you can download that . Because OEM doesn't allow you to downgrade the system it will give you error like system downgrade started & then failed to validate system image so flash the same build version firmware or higher one . By doing these follow the same steps as stated here @archies20 in his thread
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Code:
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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now by following the above procedure in the between watch out in your phone the screen will be black , and you will get to see the Locked status will be written after that the last error will be like
Code:
C:\MOTOROLA\mfastboot-v2>mfastboot.exe oem lock
...
FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))
finished. total time: 20.117s
But don't get panic the boot loader will be locked still the Unlock warning logo will be there so just flash the logo.bin .
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note : Don't try to lock the boot loader after flashing the firmware it will give you error like
Code:
(bootloader) sst lock failure!
OKAY [ 0.011s]
finished. total time: 0.012s
so follow the above procedure only , if you checked out the whole thing then there will be 0% chances of failing .
I hope you will found these thread very helpful ,
Thankyou

EDIT : You can downgrade via Fastboot not mFastboot.

First just check the Bootloader status in bootloader menu , if it is locked then just flash the logo.bin that's it .
OK, first you are giving instructions to flash the firmware and then to send command "lock oem" (the last line).
Later in your post:
Note : Don't try to lock the boot loader after flashing the firmware it will give you error like
sst lock failed.
This is exact error everyone gets, even following your steps (lock begin -> flash firmware -> oem lock).
This guide is misleading.

You are not getting properly , i told that after flashing firmware and after booting it , then taking back into boot loader now in these state if you will give command then it wont work !!

While I flash Fastboot flash boot boot.img it says downgrading; same for Fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0; downgrading error as well as invalid piv signed system image error.
Thus after mfastboot.exe oem lock command, it gives SST lock failure ! failed to validate system image in device display.

The user u have quoted is trying to lock the bootloader for Global version retaildsds.en03
If it works then its well & good..
Solved! Solved! Solved!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
After lots of flashing, at last ::fingers-crossed:
followed these steps:
after downgrading, go to bootloader, install twrp 2801 and flash supersu2.16 (that means, root your device ! ))
reboot and copy your lollipop update file (same variant) to the internal storage
now, again go to bootloader and flash the recovery: Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now go to recovery and select your lollipop update... ta-da.... explanation:
After entering recovery node, Press the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons for around 5 seconds. Now while holding those two, press and release the Power button.
Your device will now be booted into stock recovery mode, displaying Android System Recovery <3e> text at the top of the screen.
apply adb trougt sdcard.... select file AND WAIT TO THE PROCess to finish
You dont need to lock the bootloader at all :good: :good:
Hit thanks if it helps

I've got an XT1068 bought in UK.......and stuck with the same problem after upgrading to lollipop (xt1063 way) and downgrade.
I cant' lock the bootloader and if I install a stock firmware trying to locking it i receive a lot of FAILED messaged (in partition,motoboot,boot, system system.img_sparsechunk1-2-3....) And can't lock with "SST lock failure ! failed to validate system image" error.
What I have to do? T_T Can someone help me please? I want to bring back everything as before...clean!
If I try to install a stock rom and i don't try to lock the bootloader i receive FAILED error only in the first 2 strings
mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
and this never happen. What I have to do for locking the bootloader again? :\ I try with fastboot instead of mfastboot commands too..but...same results.
Thanks.... :crying:
After reading numerous threads about relocking the bootloader, I came to the conclusion that after a downgrade it's simply impossible to relock the bootloader.
So, if you have, for instrance, an XT1068 and you have flashed the US build of Lollipop on it, the only way to make it 'stock' is to downgrade to KitKat, since there is no official Lollipop build for the XT1068 yet. This means that you will be unable to lock the bootloader. You'll have to wait for an official Lollipop build, install that manually, and then relock the bootloader.
So in short: after a downgrade (as from Lollipop to Kitkat) it's impossible to lock the bootloader!
Please correct me if I'm wrong!

According Motorola downgrading from lolipop to kitkat is not possible
Moto G (2nd Generation) - Android™ 5.0 Lollipop - Release Notes
INTRODUCTION
We are excited to announce a new software update for Moto G (2nd Generation) by Motorola. This update brings Android™ 5.0 Lollipop to your phone along with other improvements.

Haven't seen it around here, so I thought sharing is caring:
Image of Lollipop 5.0 RETEUALL for XT1092 version LXE22.46-19
DOWNLOAD http://motofirmware.com/files/file/1055-reteuall-xt1092-50-lxe2246-19-cid7-cfcxmlzip/
Enjoy!
How to flash (taken from https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images and modified)
After downloading the image for your device:
Unzip the image.
Put your device in fastboot mode. [e.g. by using "$ fastboot reboot"]
NOTE: You must use the Motorola fastboot utility to flash (included in the Darwin/, Linux/ or Windows/ directory). Please do NOT use the Android fastboot utility [better known as "mfastboot.exe" - so you probably change the command "fastboot" to "mfastboot"]
Follow the flashing steps in the .xml file that was included in the package.
A typical flashing sequence includes all these partitions, but might vary depending on your product - so please use the sequence in the .xml file in your package:
$ fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
$ fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
$ fastboot reboot-bootloader
$ 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.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 customize [leave that out if you have special customization from motomaker]
$ fastboot erase clogo [leave that out if you have special customization from motomaker]
$ fastboot reboot
You also have the option to erase all the data on your device with
$ fastboot erase userdata
$ fastboot erase cache

What would be the use for this? For devices without an unlockable bootloader? Just curious why this wouldn't suffice.
It will be useful when you want to lock the bootloader back again.
I'm sure you'll want it if you were from a country like mine.

Once you request for the unlock code and unlock the bootloader of your device its done, relocking won't help you to claim warranty if the service center guy looks it up.

Hi, thanks for the upload.
I have a question, as my device is XT1092, the european version. But my carrier, Orange Spain, sells the Moto X unlocked, or they say so, and my phone version goes by 21.21.45.victara_oraeu.oraeuall.en.EU oraes. Should I be able to flash the ROM? I have experience doing so, so my question is just this one.
Thanks.
Yes, you can flash this image.
I myself flashed it on my French Orange Moto X (orafr).

Good to know, thanks!
I'm pretty sure I flashed this file on my Orange Moto X but I still have "orafr" after "22.21.19.victara_reteu.reteuall.en.eu".
Is it the same for you ?

I have that too, but since i flashed the retail modem (modem and fsg files) i think the "orafr" is related to the efs partition (something we don't "touch" during the flash process.
