Moto G (XT1033) IMEI:0 - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I've lost IMEI/MEID on my phone. Because it's dual sim, i lost both IMEI's. When i run fastboot getvar all, phone doesn't show IMEI or MEID. Stock ROM flash didn't help. Now my phone is well working tablet with no phone function. Is there any way to get back phone function to my Moto G "tablet"? I think it is, but wich is right? Can somebody help me?

Hi all,

In Moto G I can't find imei file so don't know hot to fix this.
Please let me know how to recover IMEI number.
I hope that someone know how to do it.
Many thanks

I've never heard of this before and it seems extreme that you could lose IMEI number just by flashing a custom ROM. What method did you use?
I would have assumed fastboot flashing stock firmware should solve this.

Hi Sorry for late reply but I lost internet connection on Saturday morning.
When I have been doing some stuff in CWM recovery, had system and data partition mounted.
Then done rm -R * in root dir.
At this point I thought that my current dir is tmp.
After this I lost wifi and IMEI.
I manage to sort out wifi but not IMEI code.
Do you know how to fix this?
Since that I have been re-flashing stock rom and CWM rom but none of them help.
Chris
anyone can help to recover IMEI ?
Thanks
Changing/manually setting the IMEI is illegal afaik. And afaik assisting someone with that is also forbidden here on xda. We used to have a similar problem on the phone I came from, and there was a app which let you backup/restore your IMEI. You need to have a backup in order to restore it so this won't really help you...
This is what I'm talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591997
Edit.: There actually seems to be a way to manually set it but I'm not sure if it is device-specific.

You can find your Imei on the back of the phone.
If you google android 4.4 set imei you should find something from technostall which might help you
Good luck
Yes, it's on the battery.

I haven't.
I tried to sole this issues re-flashing with different roms, but after several operations it bricked.
It's totally dead, not charging, in linux I can't see device connected, so i think that is dead.
I bought new one.
Good luck with this problem.

I solved the problem, place to charge the phone, let him take some of the load and flash the original ROM, after that flash CM11, and run perfectmente, I think at first it was because I had done without the SIM, the second time you make with the SIM sunset ...

Yes It Does for most of the devices given you should know the proper method.
Mtk is different. It's not the same thing.
Any news?
Also I think the problem is that the imei is on the phone just not on the OS? (obviously, but...)
Maybe when we all reflashed to the original stock (and countless other stocks) they just didn't have the proper folder to access in order to identify what imei they're assigned?
Because every single time I've tried to manually rewrite the imei to it all the methods I've used are futile. Even the ones specially tailored to the Moto G's hardware SnapDragon - Qualcomm...
restore IMEI by Motorola service?
Same problem for me. I am really interested in some experience about restoring IMEI.
Motorola support phorum owner replied that Motorola service can recover IMEI (not covered by any kind of warranty of course).
I have tried to reflash factory ROM with and without inserted SIM card, but unfortunately no difference.
I have seen looking for solution, that for some people Android system sees IMEI=0, but the IME is still untouched using fastboot mode and "fastboot getvar" CLI command
For me it's empty using the "getvar" command as well.
The official service center in Germany told me that they mustn't repair selfmade imei problems :S
Lost IMEI
You could all try this new method claimed to be working but as I have not lost my IMEI I can't say, please report back if it works for you?

Through research and a help from a few others I found hob and dhob are the partitions that contain the imei.
PDS does not recover imei after a fastboot erase all. Fortunately for you, me and a few other people are really close to finding a software fix for this issue. Stay subscribed to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/info-moto-g-imei0-t2925970

[Q] Erased IMEI By accident, help needed

Hello fellow people, I'll cut to the chase. I've softbricked my phone at the moment. I'm fairly good with ADB and all that jazz but this is a problem I cannot solve.
Device is x1032 EU edition. I Converted to GPE 1032, then I upgraded to lollipop. All going well no problems, recently I wanted to downgraded to kitkat and then CM11, I did all that, no radio. I learned about flashing radios, flashed mine the appropriate way, now I only have DATA but no calling or texts.
Upon further investigation my IMEI number is 0, or wiped. I remembered earlier in fastboot I used the command : fastboot erase all .
It did erase all. Now I don't know how to make the IMEI partition or how to add my IMEI numberback ( i know the number) and I think this is all i need to fix my phone again
PLEASE help, I know this is only a software issue so I'm sure there is a way of solving this,
much appreciated
There is really only one way to ruin a Moto G, and that is to run the fastboot command: fastboot erase all
These people are your only hope: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/info-moto-g-imei0-t2925970

HELP! H950 ATT backup needed

Hi. I'm lost. I've bricked my freshly purchased H950 because of being in haste to update the firmware to 5.1.1. I've accidentally installed a H955 KDZ over my stock 5.0.1 AT&T H950 firmware. As expected, the device is bricked (everything works except the cell network). I've tried everything, spent about 8 hours with no result. Can't root it as well.
The IMEI and Baseband status is "Unknown" (lost EFS partitions).
Please, if it;s possible, give me an advice how to restore it to its original ATT firmware. I know that ATT hasn't published the TOT file of their firmware. Maybe I could restore it using someone's backed up files?
I'm outside of the US for the next 7 months so I won't be able to return it
Please help me, this is urgent.

Well the good new is that your cell phone works so it is not brick. Cell network probably doesnt work because H955 use different bands than H950. I dont think you will be able to go back to ATT rom because like you mentioned there is no kdz for it. But on the bright side you can try to use the H950PR KDZ to flash your cell. this is totally compatible with the H950 from ATT. You can always wait for the someone more knowledgeable to answer but I am almost sure that it should work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/kdz-compatible-att-h950-t3180847
I've installed the h950pr and there the cell network is still not working
In case if i find a person who has a similar device with Att firmware, how can i make a backup of it in order to flash my device?
I've managed to root my semi-bricked H950. But the imei and baseband version are still unknown. What should I do?
baseband ok. just the imei has 0 value. help please

follow THIS guide and you should be ok.
Use your own imei embedded in the back of the phone or the original box.

Check your PM.
Does anybody know how to write IMEI on the H950 without octopus box? Can't do it in QPST, DFS, EFS pro because it sn't recognized as a phone / doesn't answer.
Everything works, I can even make calls, just the imei value is 0.
Finally I did it!!!

Yeah. I used QPST. I had to open cmd, enter "adb shell", then " su", then "echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/lg_diag_cmd/diag_enable". After that you can backup Nv via QPST.
Im glad you informed yourself and solved your own issue. ?
