I haven't been able to find stock .img files for anything...
Most especially need a stock boot.img and a stock recovery.img
It would nice to have all of them though. Where can these be found?
Yes i also would love those files, or another way to get my phone COMPLETELY back to stock. Recovery and everything... if possible
I could use a stock boot.img as well... that is the correct size to flash with fastboot.

Koush has the the stock boot.img: http://koush.tandtgaming.com/samsung/crespo/
But it wont flash with fastboot.
He said we need to truncate it so it will flash via fastoot.
Anyone knows how to do this?

Yeah, I have that one as well. But it doesn't work with fastboot. It's too big. I'm going to wait until someone links the correct boot.img for fastboot.
I just posted a thread with aosp images. The factory images everyone wants aren't available from google yet unfortunately, however the ones I posted should work just fine.
People reported not being able to flash the OTA with your AOSP img's

Will those allow you to update the new OTA update?
I'm pretty sure that is why everyone wants the stock boot.img right now.
edit: Nope that boot.img won't allow you to update, at least not through CWR. I get an error. Also breaks wifi (assuming wifi works if you flash all the .imgs).

I fixed the wifi bug. See my thread's OP. As far as the not being able to update, it's a recovery issue, and nothing to do with the boot.img

k, I'll check out your fix. And then flash back the original recovery and try again.

Thanks for fixing the wifi on those, but the update still won't flash using this boot.img (sadly) and CWM.
Koush is claiming that we really need the stock boot.img.
To do the update just do the nandroid for it that the other guy posted around here... It works well

Worked great! Allowed me to update to 2.3.1.
also this will work:

I need the stock recovery image (from 23.16.3.victara_retca.retca.en.CA) so I can flash the 6.0 update since it won't work with TWRP.
Any help? Google isn't providing me with much.
Does it have to be from the Canadian variant (not sure if the recovery images are different between variants)?
Tried looking here for the correct zip, which should contain the recovery image?

I have no clue. I doubt it would have to be the retCA version. I'm sure everything besides radio and system will be the same.
This is from the latest RETCA XT1097 5.1 firmware:
VICTARA_RETCA_XT1097_5.1_LPE23.32-48.3_cid14_CFC.xml.zip

Any update on whether this worked for you? I'm in the same boat

Worked perfectly.
My process
- Flash stock 5.1 using fastboot (Steps can be found on Motorola's site or somewhere on XDA)
- Install Marshmallow OTA
- Flash cracked boot.img for Marshmallow. This step is needed in order for TWRP to stick and for you to root without getting stuck on the warning screen. (I'll find the link for you if you can't. It's somewhere on XDA.)
- Flash TWRP
- Create backup so I don't have to go through this process next time haha

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. I got as far as the 6.0 OTA (RETCA), and am now trying to get root back again. Where did you find the cracked boot.img?
Cheers!

Something odd has happened since upgrading to 6.0.
'adb devices' still sees my phone, but 'fastboot devices' no longer sees anything, and making a desktop back-up with adb now creates a file containing 0 bytes.
Everything else seems fine. Are there some new permissions I need to give before this will work?
Thanks again.
Edit: I managed to get fastboot working, however now I've run into a new problem.
To confirm, when you say flash the cracked boot.img for Marshmallow, I should execute 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' for the cracked boot.img?
I'm getting the error: mismatched partition size (boot)
I can still enter TWRP with fastboot, but it's not permanent without the cracked boot.img
Am I missing a step?
Edit #2: Finally got TWRP to stick another way and have root now. Thanks for everything!
I read here, somewhere, that you need stock recovery to do the update. Since I have flashed another recovery (and rooted and installed Xposed), I'm not sure if I can update to EMUI5.
Furthermore, I'm not even sure how to do the update. The update (b351) is available in FF and checks out as "compatible", but I don't know what the install procedure is. Especially without stock recovery.
Any help or info is much appreciated
yeah, you should flash stock recovery thru ADB and thn try updating...
Not adb but fastboot

You will also need to reflash the stock boot.img, since you're rooted.

Thanks a lot. Any help, perhaps, on where I get that. And the recovery mentioned above?
Oh, and why is it not possible to flash the ROM like if it was a custom one? Just wondering

That you may need to find your own. Well in custom ROMs, they are designed to work with custom recoveries like TWRP. While in stock, the whole system is inside update.app, which can't be read by a custom recovery.

You can also extract stock images from update.app
now that Oreo is available a rooted flashable Oreo zip is possible for those of us that are rooted on 11g?
or is not possible.
anyone can confirm if is even possible with H872
I believe it is. It doesn't matter if it's a flashable zip, you should be able to install the system and kernel image from the Oreo KDZ by extracting it.

We don't have the Oreo kdz, at least I haven't seen it posted to here yet. I'm going to try building the source code, and see what I get though.

Oh, is it OTA only? Perhaps you could have someone take the OTA then dump their system and boot images
First we gotta find "someone". I'm not entirely sure how it works, but I know we need either the ota file, or a kdz to start with. I'm trying to figure it out, but there's little to no documentation.
Found the KDZ! https://lg-firmwares.com/ has it!
it's possible and I already make it. But i have to wait hours til uploaded to gdrive
It's completely doable. I've already done it. Either repack your own or use immns' flashable ZIP.
However, I didn't dirty flash it. I did both a Factory Restore and wiped Data before flashing it. Also, make sure you reflash TWRP to Recovery prior to exiting afterwards.
H872 is same as h872bk?

Well, the usual rookie mistake later I see I have no backup for the stock bootloader
The firmware repository points to a dead link. ( https://mega.nz/#!D4503azZ!4_Uw7hJOU4yH1-2VVhgrYLOeVyXFOlAaeA_m7VlVlwg ) on https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e5/how-to/firmware-moto-e5-xt1944-4-dual-sim-t3820901
Can anyone help me out on this?
Welp, solved it myself. If anyone wants the firmware, pm and I will put the link on this post.
Seems like all I had to root the phone (with the stock kernel) was to use the recovery, change the fstab.qcom file and install magisk (Which would take care of the no-verity issue), and then voila, done.
