Go into Settings, About Phone, tap Build Number 7 times, then go back one screen to Developer Options, enable Allow Bootloader Unlock, and USB Debugging.
Boot into Bootloader Mode and try:
fastboot oem unlock
That may not work on your phone.
Try to get the unlock code from Motorola:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
If you are able to unlock the bootloader, you have two choices: you can flash the 6.0 stock firmware from another variant, or you can flash a MarshMallow ROM, such as CyanogenMod.
Here's a link to stock Moto X 2014 firmwares:

Your bootloader is locked. To unlock it you need to use kingroot, then sunshine to unlock it. After that you can flash a marshmallow rom.

Dear sir,
I have Verizon xt 1096 and want to install Android 6.0 from other variants like xt 1092 from stock firmwares which links that you provided above. I will unlock my bootloader.
You please guide me how I can install using fastboot on my windows PC. I don't care about CDMA, it should work on GSM networks 2G and UMTS 3G and LTE because now I am in UAE and not using Verizon.
I need marshmallow 6.0. ... and I don't want to install custom recovery, ROM or root it, if it not necessary for upgrade process.
I will be very thankful to you.
Sorry I forgotten to mention, now I am on stock 5.1
Please also post some commands for fastboot. Thanks

Great sir, I followed your instructions and I successfully upgraded my moto x2 xt 1096 (5.1) to official 6.0 xt1092 without any trouble or changing my recovery or any thing else. Thanks for your help.
one thing is when I restart my device one warning screen appear like (your device's bootloader is unlocked and some more cautions) and moto boot animation is changed. Is it possible to get rid from these by simply re locking bootloader by fastboot command....... "fastboot oem lock"
Or after changing firmware it's not possible to re lock it simply myself or any other code is required.
And one more question can i later install other update like 6.0.1 if it is available in same way or will you upload any future updated firmware in same location MEGA from where I downloaded earlier.
And will I get any future OTA from Motorola i.e. 6.0.1 or higher and should I install that OTA if arrives, or not?
I will wait for your reply. Thank again

Yes, when you unlock your bootloader, the boot logo changes to the warning logo, and the boot animation was changed by Motorola for 6.0.
You should be able to relock the bootloader by "fastboot oem lock". You can also flash a different boot logo and animation, but then the phone will not be pure stock anymore.
Because you flashed pure stock firmware, you should get System updates for XT1092 when they are released by Motorola, you don't need to reflash the full firmware.
The factory firmwares on MEGA are not mine, but thank you to whoever is uploading them there.

Thanks dear Sir for your guidance.
So it mean if I re lock the bootloader by entering command "fastboot oem lock", then I can install future OTA update if it arrives for xt1092 without bricking my device? Or my device has official stock but hybrid firmware or some parts of firmware. (xt1096 +xt1092) and may brick while installing official motorola OTAs? Or now it is 100% pure xt1092.?
This is last request And I don't wat to waste your time any more because you already given your precious time to me.
Thanks again for your guidance.

1) You don't need to lock the bootloader to receive ota updates. Updates work with the bootloader unlocked.
2) Don't worry about updates, Motorola said marshmallow 6.0 is the last update this phone gets. There will not be anymore OTA updates.

Hi sir I tried to re lock the bootloader by entering command " fastboot oem lock " and failed as........
..... (bootloader) FAIL: please run fastboot oem lock begin first!
(bootloader) sst lock failure!
Then I entered... fastboot oem lock begin
and returnd string is follow
.... ( bootloader ) ready to flash signed images
Then I can't understand what to do now.?
And an other thing when I connect my phone to PC it is still recognise and mention it's name XT 1096 however I installed firmware of XT 1092 and every thing inside is totally new corresponding to 6.0 and is XT 1092.
Is there any thing wrong, or its bootloader could be re locked. Or I should repeat the whole flashing process and at last befor entering "fastboot reboot", I should try fastboot oem lock. Is that maters or not before rebooting first time, or should I re flash the boot.img now to lock the bootloader or it is more difficult to do or it is impossible. Any idea or help or any other link please.

Yes sure, follow the instructions in first page of this thread given by Gus Ghanem and say thanks to XDA developer team and their members

But only proceed to flash marshmallow 6.0 firmwares if you are not using Verizon network because you will loose CDMA but you can use GSM and UMTS networks

Hi,
i just got brand new unused Moto X 2nd gen (2014), It has 4.4 Android on it, but OTA update does not want to work anymore, as of 15.1.2020.
It is unlocked XT1095.
I am looking for somebody to help me over Skype to update it to 5.1 and then to 6.0 - the way usual update would go, and would donate to you via PayPal.

No OS Can't Boot

So the other day I tried to go back to stock from resurrection remix using a stock 5.1 file I found on this website. I used to flash and all that kind of stuff a while ago but haven't in a while and lost my touch. So basically I know I did it wrong and now there is no OS on the phone. I can access both TWRP and Fastboot mode but that's it. When I try to boot it shows the bootloader unlock screen, vibrates and then goes to a black screen that flashes the little android guy with his stomach open every so often. I tried flashing both stock and RR twice and still nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
P.S. I have the Verizon XT1096 Variant.

So you have the Motorola USB drivers installed:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
Recent versions of ADB/Fastboot.
Latest stock firmware:
firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto%20X%20%282nd%20gen-2014%29/Stock/XT1096/
Probably VICTARA_VERIZON_XT1096_5.1_LPE23.32-25-5_cid2_CFC.xml.zip
Extract the firmware and put the 4 ADB/Fastboot files in the folder with the firmware files.
Boot into Bootloader Mode and connect the phone, make sure the phone says "connected..."
Shift + right-click inside that folder, Open command window here... Paste these commands, BUT CHECK THE NUMBER of sparsechunks your firmware has:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

If you want to try custom roms again, I've been using TWRP 3.0.2-1 and it seems to have no issues so far (and I'm running the latest CM Nightlies).

If you mean Motorola's mfastboot, no you don't have to, I always use the lastest fastboot to flash stock firmware, custom recovery, etc.
Of course, it's always best to have an unlocked bootloader, but then you lose warranty.

I am on mac so hopefully that is not causing any issues, but I am having the same exact problem as the OP. But I was missing that first command so I am thinking that'll fix it. When in twrp whenever I tried to flash anything or wipe partitions it threw up all kinds of errors about the partitions not being mounted and stuff. Do you think missing that first command would mess up the partition table or something?
This is the errors i got when trying to wipe.

The first two commands are not necessary, but they wouldn't cause any problems, nor fix any:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
But before you start flashing anything on a phone, you should have the latest stock firmware on it, so that you have the latest bootloader and partition table. Some versions of TWRP (3.0) may have been corrupting partitions. You should try reflashing the latest partition table and bootloader from the latest firmware, then reflashing the latest TWRP 3.0.2-1.
I'm not familiar with macs... Is the phone encrypted?

no it was never encrypted. I have redownloaded the latest firmware on the chance that my download was corrupted or something. Should I flash the partition and boot images then restart into the bootloader before flashing the rest?

I guess it's safest to just flash the whole firmware as I have listed in the commands; these commands are contained in an XML file that comes with the firmware (flashfile.xml), the "reboot bootloader" after the partition table and bootloader flash, comes from Motorola's flashing instructions.

Thanks, I am at work now but as soon as I get home I will give it a go. I have been on iOS for over a year now and my moto has been dead since about a month after moto allowed us to unlock the verizon variant. Stupid thing lol.

how do I check the amount of sparsechunks that I have. Sorry for the dumb question

*Disclaimer* Your warranty is now void if you modify your phone. I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
Let's get started! First, backup to your computer/Dropbox/etc. all the files you wish to save. This will wipe all data off your phone (Not all data saved on any cloud services, such as Google, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.). You will also lose root if you have it.
Second, boot your phone into the bootloader. This can be done in certain ROM power menus, or with the ADB command "adb reboot bootloader" in Command Prompt/Terminal, or also by turning off your phone and then holding the power and volume down buttons. After booting into the bootloader, plug your phone into your computer.
Next open up Command Prompt if on Windows, Terminal if on macOS/Linux.
Navigate in CMD Prompt/Terminal to the directory you downloaded and extracted the stock firmware. Copy the Fastboot and ADB files into the same directory as the stock firmware files.
*Most Linux distributions have the same commands as Windows. I only have experience with Arch Linux and ElementaryOS (An Ubuntu variant), so I cannot confirm for other distributions.*
*I no longer am running macOS on my MacBook, I'm running Arch Linux and an Ubuntu variant, so I'm no longer able to troubleshoot with macOS*
For Windows and Linux users, enter the following commands in Command Prompt/Terminal (use sudo before each command in Linux, or use sudo -s beforehand):
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Stock rom moto g4 play xt1600 brazil
Por favor alguém tem stock rom da variante xt1600 do Brasil

Very nice!
But to install the stock rom you don't need to unlock bootloader...

Thanks for the nice guide

Does it require an unlocked bootloader? Thanx anyways

Personally, I have no idea. I've seen guides from other various phones over the years in the Moto and also HTC families when I had their devices, that say you do and some say you don't. I would say to be safe, yes it should have an unlocked bootloader but again, I cannot 100% answer that

Thank you! Your tutorial helped me a lot! I was wanting to go back to the original firmware!

@fireball0093 By the way, are you sure it works with normal fastboot? Because I see you have linked adb and normal fastboot files, but in the Windows instructions it says "mfastboot" ?

Generally most guides I have seen out there for a lot of things have mfastboot as the command for Windows. I personally run macOS so I'm not really savvy with the Windows adb and fastboot

Will using this guide install stock firmware and remove the bootloader unlocked warning?
Did you try any command for relocking the bootloader or is it not possible to do that in our device at all?

I always flash a custom logo from AnoopKumar's thread, so I'm not too sure. It's been a while since I last flashed to stock. This will install stock firmware, and I'm not sure at all if our device has a bootloader able to be relocked.

I used a similar instruction from the topic for moto g4 plus couple of months ago (except for this line - mfastboot erase DDR - dont know what is it for). I used Adb run on windows 10: mfastboot command didn't work. Then i typed all the same lines but with fastboot instead of mfastboot. It worked.

No, it will not. Unless you install a custom boot logo from the respective thread during this step: mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
---------- Post added at 15:49 ---------- Previous post was at 15:46 ----------
I've got a couple of questions: what is this command responsible for: "mfastboot erase DDR" ?
I flashed stock rom without this line and it worked fine.
Does it matter if flash oem is done before 8 of flash system commands?

Thank you for the guide!!! Worked like a charm to flash my Moto XT1607 back to stock. I just want to confirm that you have to remove the "m" on each command line if you are using Windows. I'm using Windows 10 and the commands were NOT recognized with the "m" in front of each line. That being said, the bat file provided will NOT work with windows. Copy and paste each line without the "m" in the command terminal and it works perfectly!
Thanks again Fireball0093

I will edit the post since it seems you don't need to enter m in front of fastboot. I use macOS as my main OS

please help
please can help me ?? i got xt1601 from pc mobile 24.201.8.harpia.retail.en.us i cant find the stock firmware help help

Thanks bro
Good job

1. Does your ROM support XT1805 too?
2. By locking the bootloader, can i get official update (OTA)? or will it still block the OTA?

Install this tool ,and install motorola driver, download letest official moto ROM,on usb debugging to Detect device with fb command . After select rom zip and enter.
http://rsdlite.en.lo4d.com
RSD Lite is a Motorola tool which can be used to install software on Motorola Android phones and tablets.
The application can be used for a number of reasons and can be a very useful tool for installing root (or rooting) a phone, but only if it's an Android phone.
The application interface of RSD Lite is pretty bare-bones and includes some technical details that would only be understood by more intermediate users.
With that said, using RSD Lite will certainly void your warranty and if you're not familiar with rooting or flashing Motorola devices, then it could brick your phone. Conversely, the tool can also be used to unbrick a device.
RSDLite is licensed as Freeware for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) operating system / platform from mobile phone tools without restrictions. RSDLite 6.2.4 is available to all software users as a free download (Freeware).
Some people facing this problem but it caused moto failed to write IMEI in some device.So use a back up tool like √♀ back should store in your pendrive.

5)OEM relocked ,and fast boot reboot.

Security update to OPWS27.113-45-4 won't install

So I unlocked and rooted my phone, and so far I love the Moto G6 plus. But there's a new security update: OPWS27.113-45-4. It keeps popping up randomly over any app and shows in my messages. When I try to install the update it downloads perfectly fine. But right after the download it pops up again and says: Sorry, there was a problem updating your moto G6 plus. No changes were made.
Does anyone know what could be the problem or how I maybe could hide the pop-up if there is no other way?

Me too! I have identical problem (Moto G6+). :crying:
I use the official guide for OTA upgrade with A/B partitions with Magisk: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md
My Magisk version is Beta 16.6.
I do: Restore the original boot partition from the Magisk Manager (the option to uninstall Magisk), and without rebooting I downloaded the OTA and start it. However, it refuses to install!
After this error and without do any reboot, I re-installed Magisk with the "direct mode" and I reboot.
After it all is clean. However, I still in the April firmware.
I hope someone can found a method to apply the OTA and not use the bootloader (I don't be confortable re-flashing the modem).

I had the same problem even without root (only unlocked bootloader).

So perhaps the problem ins't with the root but with the bootloader...
I check it also with the "adb sideload OTA.zip" and it fails.
Here you can download the ZIP of the OTA: https://www.sendspace.com/file/5n4mpv
Anyone with the bootloader locked can test if the OTA really works?

Hi,
In this thread about the Pixel 2 some people has a similar problem: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2/help/unable-to-install-ota-updates-unlocking-t3732692
Some people indicates that the OTA can only be applied using the "adb sideload" command. Hovewer in my case it also fails.
