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
Hey guys. So I wanted to extend my recent fortunate experience as a token of hope for those who are otherwise lost. I purchased a 2015 Callisto Moto G prototype (osprey)on ebay, from a reseller who sold it as a developers edition; as is. My intention was to flash it and use a third party ROM, so I said what the heck. Long story short, when I examined the phone when I received it, it was showing IMEI=0 IMEI SV=00. No network connection.
I've done some research, and tried many things. It would appear at some point someone ran fastboot eraseall and the partition holding my EFS folder was deleted. Never to be recovered again. I called Motorola and they suggested I purchase a new phone. I have tried many software solutions, most appear to be for older Android models with different chipsets, but at long last, I discovered a method that has allowed my SIM card to connect to the network once again.
So without further ado, I'll break down the process, I completed.
The device is a developers edition, so it did not require the bootloader to be unlocked; bootloader showed already in engineering mode.
1. I flashed TWRP found in the forums appropriate for my model
2. I flashed the Ressurection Remix ROM (Marshmallow) for my model
3.I enabled developer options by tapping the About phone>Build number seven times in a row
4.In developer options, I selected root access for Apps and ADB
5. I installed busybox
6. I installed the exposed framework (required by Device ID Changer). I flashed it from recovery.
7.I installed the Device ID Changer app (pro version) from the Play Store.
In the exposed installer app that appears when the exposed framework is installed, you will need to go to modules and enable Device ID Changer
8. I then ran Device ID Changer. I believe you will need to purchase the app to have the ability to do this correctly. The app allows you to enter an IMEI (along with other information) that will spoof your apps into believing you are using another phone. This is mostly useful for development purposes. However, in this case, also useful if your EFS folder was eradicated.
9. I used the IMEI from the temporary phone which I was using while I repaired the Moto G 2015. It will not be in use simultaneously and should not present a problem. I have seen YT video where any 15 digit number is assigned. I have not completed sufficient research to know what sort of network reliability this will offer. Enter the IMEI into the appropriate field in the app and then press apply. The default for the app is to spoof all apps when apply is selected, but can be changed in the app tab to spoof individual apps. I spoofed all, which included the phone apps.
10. I rebooted (the process will require a reboot after several installation steps; patience Grasshopper) and tried my SIM, but no luck, so I rebooted into bootloader and I reflashed the radio. In my case, I used OSPREY_RETUS_6.0_MPI24.65-25.1_cid9_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.info, Windows 10, and included the ADB, Fastboot, and dll files from the minimal adb and fastboot application in the folder with the ROM I was using to flash the radio.
11. From the Admin command line, I navigated to the folder where all my information was, in this case it was cd C:\osprey. I then ran the following commands:
fastboot devices [so that I could be sure the device was recognized]
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
12. When I rebooted, I had signal again!
It is important to recognize that this did not restore my EFS folder or the partition that was deleted. It appears to be a software solution to a hardware problem; so if it gets wiped, I will probably have to repeat the process. My attached screen shot still shows my phones IMEI as 0, although the IMEI sv has changed to 07. The SIM info screen clearly shows that I have made a network connection with LTE and that my radio is on. I can assure you the mobile signal is working fabulously. I hope this helps some of you brave soldiers who are still unwilling to give up on what seemed like a lost cause. It's certainly made my day.
This is great! A useful solution to a complex problem, well done and thanks for sharing!
hi bro, i really thank your effort on this theme, i followed your instructions one by one and i have no results, it shows the carrier but it is on emergency calls only and have no signal, did you use a stock rom? because your screenshots seems to be on a stock rom
I have an unlocked bootloader with Resurrection Remix ROM flashed for Osprey.
Remember not to factory reset the device or wipe data as this will undo the IMEI spoof that allows network connectivity.

ok bro im trying now without factory reset, for the resurrection remix installation, i was on "osprey_retus-user 5.1.1 LPI23.72-65 71 release-keysM8916_2020617.29.03.21.45R" before installing
edit: not worked bro, this mus be done without sim card or something?
Honestly do not remember if the SIM was in at the time or not.
wich rom was installed in your device before you install the RR MM ?
:fingers-crossed:
It was originally flashed with a barebones development kernel, I flashed the retus ROM listed above, and when I still didn't have signal, I flashed RR.
ok, so if i try to install RR without doing factory rest it says error 7, but this not hapen if i do the factory reset
Try install RR, reset, intall busybox and exposed framework, run device ID changer, reboot into bootloader, flash only radio as listed, restart without reset.
Update, just Factory reset the ROM because of SD as internal storage issues, and I can still connect to network.
Upon further reflection, it would appear the key is flashing the appropriate radio for your region/network.
try this guys

Hello everyone,
First my device INFO:
MOTO Z PLAY XT1635-02
Baseband
Current: M8953_102_08_04_47e ADDISON_ROW_CUST
Stock: M8953_102_08_04_47R ADDISON_ROWDSDS_CUST
Actually, the only difference between my current baseband and the one that was there before I flashed any rom was this "DSDS" mention.
RETBR
I have new Moto Z Play from brazil (retbr dual sim), I've unlocked the bootloader, installed the chinese twrp and rooted my device.
After that I've decided to unroot it, and for that I've flashed the Custom ROM found on Moto Z Play subforum and that's when things started to get wrong.
I flashed the entire ROM as it is on the flashfile.xml , everything went smootly, the only file that was not able to flash was the gpt.bin and bootloader.bin because of security downgrade issues, but no problem after all.
I've booted my phone and my imei was shown as 0, both on the device info and dialing *#06#*. When I put it on fastboot mode and type "getvar imei" I can see my correct IMEI as it is on the box.
I'm having this issue for a month and I have tried nearly anythign I could.
- Already tried to flash some other roms like LATAM, the problem was not solved and RETBR is the only one that I can receive OTA.
- Tried to erase modemst1 modemst2 and flash my modem many times.
- Tried using XPOSED IMEI CHANGER but it is only a mask and didn't worked.
My brother just bought a new MOTO Z PLAY from the same retailer and I'm thinking if anything could be made with a backup from his EFS so I can restore my phone.
My toughts are that there is something corrupted on my EFS folder.
I'm looking for a solution to fix this issue, if any other information is needed feel free to ask me.
Hi there,
It seems that you already found the best place on XDA to post your question.
Please continue your journey there. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...meid-blank-t3535106/post70474394#post70474394
This section is more to help new users with their problem .
Good luck!
I have a CC9 Pro Premium. Even if i can't fix my problem, hopefully this story will PREVENT people from messing with their IMEIs... I hope no one ever goes through what I just did
I'm obviously by no means encouraging changing IMEIs, even in certain 3rd world countries where it could be necessary!
So here's a detailed backstory: When you purchase a phone where I live, you need a valid passport in order to pay tax and register it's IMEI number, and if not you get cut off by your operator within a month.
I didn't have one, since it also takes about 4-8 months to process, and I couldn't even preform a request due to the corona virus situation.
So, being the ignorant idiot I am, I thought it would be a great idea to change it's IMEI number till I can register the original one, since a lot of people do this over here apparently, white market
I followed a tutorial I found online (And re-posted on XDA, so there's nothing really wrong with it), and here's what happened:
(Root, TWRP and Diag is OK in all steps)
I made a .qcn backup using QPST build 480, saved the original somewhere safe, edited the copy, wiped modemst1, modemst2 and fsg, then restored it
*phone reboots*
Everything's the same, and still getting reception, no change
Took another backup and saw it was the same, so I give up
The next day I try again, but this time is when the problems started... I take another QCN backup just to be sure, and it's slightly larger (Could be because I just inserted a 2nd SIM for the first time right before it), edit it, then wipe modemst1, modemst2, fsg and this time: "fsc" since I saw someone do it in another tutorial for the Mi Note 10
*phone reboots*
*boot animation*
*resets and goes to recovery*
I was shocked. I wipe the 4 partitions again and the phone boots normally, nothing has changed (apparently).
So I put my SIMs in and go watch a movie. Then I switch it on, only to see there's no reception!!!
I wipe the partitions, and restore the first original backup... boots to recovery again...
Wipe... Boots normally... restore the 2nd original one (slightly larger, both sims)... boots to recovery...
Then I just decide to miflash a fastboot rom, maybe that will get things back to normal!
So I wipe, flash rom... IMEI and Baseband now Unknown... Yikes...
I next find an xQCN backup online for the Mi Note 10 that only has a single IMEI in it, that belongs to the 2nd sim (SIM 1 550 only, QCN View, the 1st 550 missing)
Replace it with my original and reboot, IMEI 2 and baseband is back! But no reception, even after multiple reboots...
I wipe partitions again, IMEI 2 is still there... Interesting...
I continue trouble shooting, even: wiping the partitions, restoring the original backup, flashing fastboot rom... still boots to recovery (Mi Recovery of course), setting 755 permission for modem files...
------------------------------------------------
SUMMERY:
I need to find out why the original backup keeps booting to recovery!!! Also some information about "fsc" partition would be nice, since wiping that probably started the whole issue (Is it a backup for fsg?!)
Important things I discovered:
1) Wiping modemst1 and modemst2 at the same time is enough for the phone to boot
2) The reboot to recovery (Recovery loop?) with the original backups is caused on an OS level, because one time it took so long that I even saw the lockscreen for half a second before it rebooted (no SIMcard in the phone either)
3) After hours of dorking I found 2 other similar instances that could be related:

"We cannot repair both SIM slots.
We can only repair SIM2 slot for IMEI repairing. After IMEI repair process, SIM1 IMEI getting '0' value. When we are trying to repair both SIM slot phone is entering the Bootloop and entering the recovery mode(twrp). Thats why we are remove SIM1 IMEI from qcn file and this time we can will repair to SIM2 slot. Do you know this Problem ? What can we do to solve this problem? Thank you in advance for your help."

imei repair is done.
the only problem is returning to "Factory settings" and imei is deleted.

So far it only seems possible to restore sim 2, I contacted a professional IMEI dealer and this is what he said:
"IMEIs cannot be changed simply through a USB port on modern snapdragon SOCs. Only the secondary sim modem can be restored, because the primary sim is locked to the chipset. When tampered with, it goes into a lockdown state which means it can probably never be used again unless a breach is found"
I sold the phone and got a Nokia 9 Pureview, much more consistent but still has it's own issues

If it's related to the IMEI, multiple guides have already been made since I made this post. Just search for it on YouTube!
If not, could be a bad rom, bad recovery, incomplete unlock, etc.
Try a stable Orange Fox Recovery, that might fix it

Hi , same things happen to me.I have mi note 10 lite.
before the dealing to imei I take modemst1,modemst2,and fsg backup via dd codes.
and take qcn and xqcn backup via qpst.
And after that In fastboot commend I write
"fastboot erase modemst1"
"fastboot erase modemst2"
"fastboot erase fsg"
so my imei have gone.When I edit the qcn ( imei1 and imei2 both) and flash back to the phone. phone is going to recovery mode and nvdata is corrupted error happen.There is two possibility to the save to phone. First one you wipe-data in stock-recovery or again in fastboot mode you have to erase modemst1,modemst2,fsg.
So I erased again and open the phone.
This time I edited qcn file (only imei2,imei1 codes deleted in codes line and string) so my edited qcn only exist imei2 codes.
so I flashed back to phone and imei1 shows 0 and imei2 shows my original imei(I want to recover my original imei). and after that in the adb I flashed my stock modemst1,modemst2,fsg via dd codes and (also some secret codes and combination ) and after reboot my both imei show and start working.I dont know the reason but somehow my phone skip the security.Interesetingly .I guess phone security in the software not to hardware.
I want to check something so I tried 20 time to flash my stock backups via dd codes but it is only work 2 time whenever I tried the flash and after reboot my phone add ramdump(app 2 gb every time) files in the main stroage ( I search it,it is crash log). Interesting
Right now I search to skip security so I find some codes in build.prop
"ro.miui.restrict_imei=1" I think this one cause the problem to change imei so I try to disable it but I cant change to build.prop because in android 10 you can't mount system(rw) so cant change to build.prop.I think only solution is flashing edited system.new.dat file but I cant decompile system.dat.file so .
After Android 10 magisk root app just work in systemless way(this is not even a root not like the old time).You have root but you cant change anything with root access so in originally this is not root and it is sucks and bull****.
Do you know any rom tool for the edit system.new.dat file or how can I create new custom rom so if I success it I want to change both imei. I googled it but every tool is too old to use.

i have problem with mi 8 no basedband unknow and restart.....no qcn write...try with UMT or QFIL not work.

I read all your whole post and I can suggest to try to use XiaoMiFlash.exe of 2019-12-06 (WARNING: option below must be CLEAN ALL to save your unlocked state of the Bootloader) for flashing back to Android 9 in Fastboot mode original flash (those of about 4GB) , after that you can try to edit the build.prop with some Apps that work with root / Magisk.
But please, 1st I really urgently need your 4 partitions backup (also the fsc), can you send to me?
TIA and best regards!

After Android 10 magisk root app just work in systemless way(this is not even a root not like the old time).You have root but you cant change anything with root access so in originally this is not root and it is sucks and bull****.
Do you know any rom tool for the edit system.new.dat file or how can I create new custom rom so if I success it I want to change both imei. I googled it but every tool is too old to use.
Regards..

Thank you for posting your findings on the thread! I believe the solution for Mi Note 10 users could be flashing Android 9 and changing that build.prop line, we need someone to confirm this. I hope you discover a fix for your phone as well, please write a step by step guide if so. Good luck!
These materials can only be used for ROG Phone 5_ZS673KS, and ROG Phone 5S_ZS676KS cannot be used.
ROG Phone 5S ZS676KS Please see here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ootloader-to-modify-country-cn-to-ww.4353339/
If your ROG Phone 5 ZS673KS only has edl mode (port 9008), then this tool can help you repair your phone through edl mode.
Or if you want to modify COUNTRY, flash the firmware of WW, you don't need to apply to unlock the Bootloader,
you don't need ROOT, just follow me.
1.Connect the phone to the computer through the USB port on the left, enter the fastboot mode,
and then open "Reboot-to-edl.bat" to enter the edl mode. Or enter fastboot oem enter-dload in cmd.
2.You must flash in the ENG firmware that I modified. If you find the firmware online,
you may lose your fingerprint and IMEI after flashing.
Method 1: The phone enters edl mode, and when you see port 9008 in the device manager,
open the ENG folder--open "0-update_image_EDL.bat"
Method 2: The phone enters edl mode, and after you see port 9008 in the device manager, use the XiaoMiFlash tool to flash in.
Method 3: The phone enters edl mode, and after you see port 9008 in the device manager,flash in through the QPST tool.
3.After flashing in the firmware and successfully booting up, be sure to back up your phone partition files. If your phone's fingerprint is lost or IMEI is lost,
it can be restored to normal. If you don't have a backup, it will be very troublesome.
Double-click to open "Backup.bat", it will automatically back up your phone partition files, you need to save these files, follow-up will definitely help you.
Include these Eight files：“persist.img factory.img modemst1 modemst2 asuskey4 fsg fsgCA fsc”
Normally, you don’t need to restore these files. If your fingerprint or imei is lost and you need to restore these files to your phone,
please flash the ENG firmware, then put these Eight files into the ROG 5 folder, and double-click to open " Restore.bat" can be restored to your phone.
4.If your machine is an global version, after backing up and saving Eight files, directly enter the fastboot mode, open the WW folder-open "flash_raw_and_wipe_data.cmd" to flash the WW firmware,
and successfully repair your ROG 5.
If you cannot flash the firmware in fastboot mode, the prompt: fastboot error CID () Mapping wrong Xrom!
You can Double click to open"Open-Cmd.bat",Then enter the commands, enter fastboot -v flash all xx.raw
xx.raw is the firmware on your computer, for example: fastboot -v flash all C:\Users\johnny\Desktop\ROG5\WW\WW_ZS673KS_18.0810.2101.95_M2.13.24.9-ASUS_1.1.46_Phone-user.raw
ASUS:
version display asus fastboot version and list support project.
-v flash all : disable asus raw id checking.
-g flash all : disable repartition.
-C flash all : disable CRC_<partition>.
If your machine is the CN version, and you want to flash into the WW Firmware, but don’t want to unlock the BootLoader, you can use WinHex to open the persist.img you just backed up,
find COUNTRY, change CN to WW and save it, and you can directly restore it to your phone through the dd command Inside, there is no need to unlock or install magisk.
Double click to open"Open-Cmd.bat",Then enter the commands one by one
adb push persist.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist
Then enter the fastboot mode, open the WW folder-open "flash_raw_and_wipe_data.cmd" to flash the WW firmware.

I have also studied Hardwaresub Services for a long time, ROG1/ROG2/ROG3 only need to modify COUNTRY, CN to WW, and then flash into the global version,
there will be no such prompt. In addition to modifying COUNTRY, ROG 5 also needs to modify asuskey4.
In this partition, clear the imei, then there is no prompt. But I can’t do anything with ROG 5S.
This machine verifies modemst1 and modemst2. I tried it for a long time, but I couldn’t get rid of the prompt except for the whitelist.
If your ROG3/ROG5/ROG5S is the CN version, but you have flashed the WW firmware, you cannot unlock the Bootloader, or you are prompted to unlock successfully, but the Bootloader is still not unlocked after restarting, you can write the correct SSN and ISN of the phone Go to asuskey4, then restore to the phone partition, and then use the official unlocking tool to unlock it.
Nice job putting together what james(whatever) abused the community to accomplish and never cared enough to document for anyone else.
Might want to change the label to "How to Guide" instead of "Question" (contrary to most that label a question as a guide) and consider rewording the title a bit, though. It reads "convert your phone if you are stuck in EDL", but "restore from EDL or convert without unlocking bootloader" is what you explain and that's a much larger audience.
@johnny886 tnx for ur complete tutorial
can u make tutorial video with phone for convert to ww. im noob about asus and many user want convert but worried about brick phone or lose fingerprint and imei
and after convert we able manual update phone ?
special thanks . I followed your instructions to change CN to WW and success with no error, even fingerprint , amazing! Just one problem still exist is The Hardwarestub warning : how could we deal with it beside disable this app ?
For PC not show EDL device in Device manager --> Change OEM cable , some cable just have 4 wire , not enough for fastboot.
For PC show EDL devices but with yellow caution . Use driver below . still now show 9008 port --> change different usb port (3.0, 2.0...)

IMEI and Fingerprint work with no error, afterall you have to update manually(copy new FW to your root storage) , OTA will not work. His instruction very clear even for newbie . just need to read carefully

Do you have cell signal? I can help you to get cell signal working so it'll function as a phone. Can't fix IMEI and fingerprint though. Just baseband and cell signal (LTE/call/SMS/MMS...)

I don't knowv that anyone can help you. If you wiped your IMEI, didn't record it anywhere, and purchased the phone without a box... There is no way to restore an unknown number.
