Have you tried the fastboot commands in the first post of this thread? If you flash the sparsechunks and erase userdata - then you have a brand new phone.

[Moto G 2015 General] Marcelo_RJ:
I have a question:

When my xt1543 was on stock, I unlocked the bootloader, installed the twrp and rooted the phone. After that I made a twrp backup. Now I'm using a custom ROM and I'm thinking if I can restore that stock back-up, un-root and flash only the recovery (stock). Is it possible? If it is, should I use any other fastboot command besides the recovery one?
[Moto G 2015 General] lost101:
"okay" does not mean successful. Nothing is changing on the phone - so the process has been a complete failure. Provide a log of the command prompt screen - provide screenshots if needed.

You only need to use the flash recovery command.

I've noticed this thread in Q & A: http://xdaforums.com/2015-moto-g/help/how-to-fool-googles-security-bought-t3257089

What you are seeing is the new security feature in Android 5.1. Is your Bootloader unlocked?
[Moto G 2015 General] hp420:
I believe this lives in the persist partition, no?

Also, if a device hasn't been bootloader unlocked, what's to stop anyone who faces this issue from unlocking it? I mean once that's done this becomes a pretty trivial matter, right?
[Moto G 2015 General] lost101:
I don't know where the feature is stored, but that seems a likely location. As mentioned in the thread I linked to in your quote; the feature will prevent Bootloader unlocking.

A 'Hard Reset / Account verify' screen is presented on boot up. Possible workarounds:

Bootloader Locked:

(1) Dump / analyze 'Persist' Partition - delete or modify related files if they exist there

EDIT: On reflection - dumping not possible via fastboot​

Bootloader already unlocked:

(1) Boot into TWRP, access /system/priv-app/ - delete related files - this may at-least get to home-screen / settings for more options​

Still eligible for OTA after restoring?

Hello,I am planning to buy this device (osprey 16GB X1150) here in India.Currently I'am planning to-

First boot-->Update to marshmallow[ota]-->unlock bootloader-->flash twrp-->perform nandroid backup(s)

This way I should get unrooted stock backup.

After some tinkering around custom roms,if i restore my nandroid,i should get back my stock rom and i think i should be able to restore stock recovery from this-http://xdaforums.com/2015-moto-g/general/index-moto-g-factory-firmware-images-t3169639

what i only fear is i would NOT be able to get any OTA :( .can anybody please tell me if i would get ota updates

If this phone is officially supported by cyanogenmod, then can i assume certainly that this device will get CM13 in future,if yes than no reason to go back to stock:cool:

Thanks in advance:good: and sorry for long and over-descriptive post

Am just hoping that one of u awesome devs come up with a stock flash tool for our device
[Moto G 2015 General] chriss_2:
Thanks for posting all of the great info here.

I purchased a Moto G 2015 that was for Consumer Cellular as a black Friday deal from Target. Came out to about $135 total after taxes.

I was able to get it SIM unlocked through an Ebay seller for about $3.50, but I wanted to put the stock firmware on there too.

Apparently you can not flash US retail firmware over the Consumer Cellular firmware without unlocking the bootloader, so I requested the code through the Motorola website. You need to first enable OEM unlocking in the developer settings on the phone itself before you can unlock the bootloader with fastboot using code you get from Motorola.

I was able to finally get it to update though and I flashed the stock logo back afterwards to remove the ugly unlocked bootloader warning message.

It is definitely possible, if anyone else is curious. I could not have done it without all of the help from this forum. :good:
[Moto G 2015 General] Tel864:
Their phone is identical to the phone I purchased from Motorola. My wife's phone came from Consumer Cellular and the sim didn't have to be unlocked. We popped an AT&T Sim in it and it worked. It has the same stock firmware as my G3 except for their app and boot screen. Just curious, did you try another Sim before paying to have it unlocked?
[Moto G 2015 General] chriss_2:
Yes, I tried the phone with my T-mobile sim and I got the unauthorized sim card message at boot up. I am planning to give the phone to my friend who also uses T-mobile. I think Consumer Cellular is basically an AT&T MVNO, so that might be why their sim works without unlocking.

I think you should get the phone replaced if that option is available to you. Alternatively, keep trying different XT1541 Firmware Images, or unlock the Bootloader - which will offer more possibilities. There is however a risk of hard-brick with Firmware Images that you should be aware of.

[Moto G 2015 General] lost101:
With previous generations of Moto G, the main reason flashing a firmware image would result in a boot-loop would be due to the user not flashing all the system.img_sparsechunk files.

Technically, you should be able to flash these files with Bootloader locked.

If at all possible, I recommend you wait for the Android 6.0 XT1541 Retail EU Firmware Image - but when it will be available is unknown. I recommend this because a small number of users have hard-bricked their phones when flashing a firmware image, and the cause is unknown. They can no longer even access fastboot mode. This makes me cautious about suggesting you persist exploring other solutions.

If you cannot wait, I see your only option is to try other XT1541 Firmware Images (perhaps start with Retail UK) and maybe one of them will boot. Always check you are flashing all of the system.img_sparsechunk files included.

The backup should accept the OTA Update in theory, but I never advise people accept OTA Updates. Factory Firmware Images are the best way to go.

You can't even install an OS, there is nothing to root.

The above poster reminded me it might be possible to flash a system.img created by another user. It's highly unlikely to work, but you don't have many options.

Here is the command if anyone running Stock wants to help:

Hi! I'm currently on soak test v5 provided by HP. I want to go back to LP, I'm on a xt1540 US 2gb. I have the fw downloaded, which I already installed many times in my phone.

[Moto G 2015 General] lost101:
You now may have the MM Bootloader, I would be very careful. You should skip flashing of Bootloader again, and not accept any official OTA Update. Such an update is expecting a certain criteria, namely that you are running LP and have an LP Bootloader. I cannot guarantee you will not hard-brick and never be able to boot your phone again.
[Moto G 2015 General] lost101:
I will try to create a Stock system.img for you to flash.

Edit: In the mean time, you can try flashing XT1541_OSPREY_RETEU_5.1.1_LPI23.72-66_cid7 in Linux. Booting into an Ubuntu Live CD is enough.

Open terminal and type:

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot​

[Moto G 2015 General] lost101:
It might be easiest if you have the firmware image extracted onto a usb pen. Then in Ubuntu, open terminal in that folder. You do not need fastboot.exe or any other files in the folder with the firmware files. I've already explained the commands for installing fastboot.

It would be wise, and the wait, not very long.
[Moto G 2015 General] lost101:
I think the problem is you are not 'oem unlocked.' Obviously you can't change that until you boot into Android. Perhaps the situation will be different when the Android 6.0 Firmware Image is available.

Something else to try. On phone, can you enter recovery mode and do a factory reset from there? Also Recovery mode may allow you to apply an Android 6.0 OTA Update zip - another possible way to get Android booting. The official 6.0 OTA Update zip might be posted soon, follow this thread.

Reset will require a minimum battery level of 25%. If you are unable to perform a reset, please charge for 20-30 minutes and try reset again.

1) With the phone powered off, press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power button at the same time until the device turns on.

2) Press the Volume Down button to highlight "Recovery mode"

3) Press the Power button to restart into Recovery mode.

You'll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.

4) While holding down the Power button, press the Volume Up button.

5) Use the volume buttons to scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" and press the Power button to select it.

6) Scroll down to "Yes - erase all user data" and press the Power button to select it.

Hi there,

since the update to Android 5.1 and EMUI 3.1 some services like Whatsapp wont work properly.That means for me:

- Push notifications from Whatsapp and Snapchat will only arrive, when I open the app -> sometimes, when I close the app from the task manager or leave it over the night

- Whatsapp forgets the names of my contacts and only shows the numbers (some background service not running?) -> fixable by "updating" the contacts through Whatsapp. Happens at least 5 times a day, even when I'm not closing Whatsapp through the taskmanager.

Every permission I could find is activated, I guess it's some kind of automatic battery saving, which I'm unable to find.

Thank you very much,

[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stingray454:
I have the exact same issue, came across this thread looking for answers. RunKeeper (and I assume any other app as well) is simply killed after about 1 hour. I usually use my phone during walks, to for example take pictures, answer chat messages and whatnot, so I thought the issue could be that I was out of memory and that is why it closed the app. To get to the botton of it, I tried the following steps:

- Reboot the device

- Clear everything from the multitask menu

- Make sure RunKeeper is set as a "protected app"

- Start RunKeeper, begin an activity

- Keep the app open, i e not going back to home screen or opening any other app

- Waking the screen every 5 minutes or so to make sure it doesn't go into some deep sleep mode

Result? After about 1 hour, when I pick up the phone and unlock it the RunKeeper process is simply gone, killed by the system. By the way, for me it's a Huawei Mate S device, but this seems to be an EMUI issue. I'm on EMUI 3.1 (B145 europe, official release). Just thought I'd chip in. This is annoying to the point of being a dealbreaker to ever getting another Huawei until I can confirm it's fixed.

Unfortunately this application do nothing. Endomondo was kill after 1 hour running. Anyone have idea what to do with this?

Finally after update to marshmallow there is one option to keep endomondo while workout. Under battery in right-up corner there is settings icon and there is option "close excessively power intensive apps running in the background" this option actually works fine.
