 Summary: Now, if you are planning to flash the full stock firmware, then go through this method. You will need to connect your device to PC and setup ADB and Fastboot. Go through the requirements and instructions listed below carefully. Once you have setup ADB and Fastboot, extract the firmware file and open a command prompt or terminal there. Now, reboot to bootloader and flash the following things using the Fastboot commands. Now, depending on your phone firmware, its may come with system.img or the sparsechunk files. Her for Moto X Pure, it’s the system image file. Hence, use the first code. So just make sure how many chunk files your firmware has before you flash the firmware. Also, this will wipe your device and you will lose all your data. Hence, backup.

Step 7: Now flash the firmware by issuing the following command. (Note that you type the exact name with it’s proper extension. Also, use keyword-  fastboot or if it fails, then go with the keyword-mfastboot $ is the path of the file. )

$ fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
$ fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
$ fastboot reboot-bootloader
$ fastboot flash logo logo.bin
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img

$ fastboot erase modemst1

$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

Note: If the firmware contains a full system.img file. This means that you no longer have to flash the sparkchunks individually. If the firmware comes with sparkchunks, then use the following strings.

mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Step 9: Once the firmware gets installed, reboot to system.

First boot may take a while. You can now enjoy your new firmware. If the firmware doesn’t boot, perform a factory reset from stock recovery.

You can re-lock the bootloader on your device using the following command:

    Pleas Help! Downloaded factory image from Motorola and placed in the platform tools folder with fastboot and adb. I open the command prompt from the system tools folder and adb is connected and working but when I type fastboot flash partition gpt.bin, all I get is error: cannot load ‘gpt.bin’. What am I doing wrong?

      The path is not pointing to the gpt.bin file. make sure that the terminal/cmd is open in the folder where gpt.bin file is located.
