Hi,
Or you can flash it via recovery, it's up to you. See in attachment, it has been tested without any issue.
Thanks @ 75markus for the flashabe zip file

Sorry for the noob question but, what are the benefits of updating the bootloader? (besides being able to run the latest CAF Roms)

That's pretty much it. There may be the odd security fix or something here and there but they're not covered by change logs so we'll likely never know

Can you go into Bootloader/Fastboot? (Volume Down + Power)
EDIT: Read your other thread. You need to flash a stock recovery. You can do that via fastboot. Flash a stock recovery, format SD card, then flash a custom recovery again and you should be good to go.
Process of flashing any recovery is easy. Refer to the method in my signature, you just need to follow the RECOVERY FLASHING PART ONLY.
Other necessary info is also available.

No problem.
Fastboot drivers ok?
where did you get from and then put recovery.img?
also check name of the whateverRecovery.img file to be the same as "recovery.img"

Great. Now you have a stock recovery. Just format the SD Card from recovery and the SD should be good.
Afterwards, you can flash any custom recovery and mess around with flashing ROMs etc.

Download This. Open the zip file with 7-Zip or WinRAR, go to firmware.zip, extract recovery.img.
Then flash the recovery in the same way. This is the stock recovery and not TWRP.
I am assuming your phone to be S3 and updated to Jellybean already.

You should be okay if you are running the stock recovery, no root, and updated Motorola Services app.

You can flash the recovery alone. You'll be able to get ota update, this is assuming you're unrooted and system is not altered in anyway.
You don't have to relock your bootloader either.

You'll have to find the stock recovery image and flash it. It'll be inside the stock package here

Else you'll have to find the image uploaded by someone,I can't upload as I'm on my phone

Yes fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
But TWRP can flash recovery.img itself. Switch to IMG instead of ZIP in the Install menu.
