Guys Please help me. I am having Moto X Play (XT1562 dual sim version) which is unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery, Rooted and Xposed framework flashed. Rom is stocked rom. Now I would like to revert to the stock recovery with stocked rom. How could I do it.
Once I installed Cyanogenmod Rom for my device and i returned to stock rom as per guidelines provided by senior member. I have all those files that needed at that time. but that is for whole ROM but now for me I need only stock recovery. Can I flash only recovery.img file that I extracted from stock factory image?
Please advice.
yes, you need to flash recovery.img from stock firmware. just make sure it's intendended for your phone model.

AFAIK you can't revert your phone to fully locked state (your warranty will be void no matter what you do), you can only re-lock it. Hre's a thread about it:

My previous phone was the HTC Inspire which had S-On, S-Off settings. Because my phone was S-On, I had to flash a boot.img file each time I flashed a ROM.
Once I root my GS4, is it necessary to go through the whole flashing of the boot.img file?

no, when flashing a rom in recovery the boot.img is already included in the zip

The Galaxy S4 (and all Galaxy variants afaik) does not have an "S-On" or "S-Off". However, we do have a locked/encrypted bootloader on some models, including the AT&T and Verizon versions. To flash ROMs on an AT&T device, be sure to do one of the following:
- Only flash ROMs that have been "Loki" patched, or "Lokified". Thanks to djbliss's Loki exploit, we are still able to flash ROMs and Recovery partitions that have been patched with this exploit.
- If you flash a ROM that is not Lokified, be sure to IMMEDIATELY flash a Loki-patched Kernel that's compatible with the ROM you just flashed - do NOT reboot until you have done so.
- Flash a Lokified Recovery that does "Auto-Loki" - meaning that it will automatically patch any ROM or Kernel that is flashed through this Recovery.

Great! Thanks.
Is there an easy way to return to the latest stock rom or the one before the latest? When I received the M I have it didn't have the stock rom on it or a backup of the stock rom so I was hoping there was a way to return to stock but still keep my unlocked boot loader and re-root.
My goal is to return to stock, root, install recovery, make a backup so I have a stock backup then flash the current rom I'm using now. If anyone has or could tell me the steps I need I would appreciate it. I don't want to lose the boot loader unlock so I won't be able to install roms

It's impossible to re-lock your bootloader. You can use Avi's solution, you can flash the FXZ from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/scorpion_mini_xt907/list.php and re-root witth Motochopper or by flashing SU in recovery, or you can use Matt's utility 1.20 to flash to stock. There is also a pre-rooted, de-bloated ROM here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2408763 and stock flashable ROM here http://batakang.com/ftp/?dir=devs/mhous33/XT907.
Your easiest bet is to use Avi's solution or flash one of the last 2 ROMs I listed. If you FXZ back to stock or use Matt's utility, you'll need to re-install your aftermarket recovery. With the last 2 ROMs, they can simply just be flashed in your aftermarket recovery.
Hi All,
A couple of days back, I installed custom ROM (Recreated Remix Leopard) successfully on Zenfone 5. I was on the stock lollipop 3.24.40.87 firmware before that. I rooted, unlocked Bootloader and installed TWRP recovery on the stock ROM and I also took a nandroid backup. After using the custom ROM, I decided to go back to the stock ROM. I used the nandroid backup for restoring and got the stock ROM. But, now I want to go back to the stock Kitkat ROM (as the lollipop sucks) and I also don't want the custom recovery or anything. In short, I want to revert my phone to the real factory condition.
I tried to go back to Kitkat by the ASUS official method. But that didn't work. Then I tried to re-lock the Bootloader with the tool from which I unlocked it. But when I did that, I got stuck on the USB logo screen. So, I unlocked it again with the same tool and the phone starts normally. So, how do I get back now?
What would happen if I flash the stock ROM via TWRP? Will it remove the custom recovery and lock the Bootloader?
I read a couple of articles, a few of them suggested to install the stock ROM with the official ASUS method (copy the files in internal storage and the phone will notify to install the update). The article even says that by this method any custom modifications (recovery, root, Bootloader) will be deleted. Is it true or will this work?
Thanks in advance!

Link rom WW 3.24.40.87 modded, flash via TWRP: drive.google.com/open?id=0B7Py5ad2aHwKMHRsZ1NJM0tfLTQ
If you flash this rom, it will not remove the custom recovery + lock the Bootloader
If you having a problem while flashing this rom, you need to flash stock recovery 2.22.40.54, after that you can sideload stock rom via ADB
Sorry for my bad english ^^

Hi, thank you for the reply
You said WW 3.24.40.87 modded, do you mean that this rom is not the official one? Does it improves the battery life and other bugs of the stock rom?
I really appreciate your help!
You cannot flash stock rom via TWRP!
This is modded rom, so you can flash it via TWRP easily....
It's Official rom from Asus, just modded to be able flash through TWRP

Thank you for the info
But the thing is that I am already on the stock 3.24.40.87 rom and I want to go back to Kitkat 2.22.40.54 because it has much more improved battery performance than the lollipop. Is there any modded version of the stock Kitkat rom too? Or how do I go back to it?

You need to flash WW 2.22.40.54 recovery via Fastboot first, then sideload rom via adb

Short story: I need a TouchWiz ROM that I can flash from TWRP that won't re-lock my bootloader or touch the TWRP partition. What's the best one to use?
Longer story: I have SM-G900V running CM 13 that is currently unable to get a GPS lock unless airplane mode is enabled. So far I've been told the only fix for this is (high level instructions):
Nandroid backup of CM 13
Flash TouchWiz ROM
Get GPS lock in TouchWiz ROM
Restore CM 13 nandroid backup
Some of the troubleshooting steps involve root, hence the need for a rooted ROM. Can anyone help?
Download a full stock tar for your device and open it with winrar. Give me a screenshot of all the files inside (aboot, system, etc...)

Extract system.img.ext4, boot.img, modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin, into a new folder on your desktop. Then use 7-Zip to make it all into a tar archive. Then flash that using Odin.
This is the PB1 firmware - so you will be on TW 5.0 after flashing it. If you want to be on TW MM, I can help with that too if you like
Thanks so much. And yes, how do I go about doing that for TW MM?
I've since realized that that .tar isn't rooted. Can anyone point me to a rooted TW ROM I could do this with?

Factory reset - also remember that MM takes about 20min on first boot.

Actually I used the Lollipop build as the instructions were much simpler. But I'll try to wipe from recovery and reflashing TW again and see if that works. Failing that, probably going to have to clean install CM and then restore apps using TB update.zip in recovery. Why is everything in mobile so godd*mn hard ...
Got everything working again! Thanks so much for your help!!!
So I'm in a custom rom, twrp installed.
I want to go back to stock rom with relocked bootloader and official recovery (as it came out of box) what can i do?

You can flash AFT ROM through fastboot mode. It'll revert everything back to stock, including recovery. You can download everything here.
