I lost imei after flashing - Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers

Hi everyone, first of all sorry my bad English. well I downgrade from oreo to nougat, stock Rom, and I realize that my connectivity was gone, so I tried many methods like "erasing modems" in cmd even installing modules of xposed, but nothing, then I started to find out what was the real problem, and I found that imei is lost...

Now if your volte is working then not to worry but if it's not then follow thread for volte and recover volte after that take EFS backup of working volte and IMEI, so in future it will be helpful whenever your IMEI is gone,

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
fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache

Thank you so much!! I tried this before with no avail. I think the website I used for the commands didn't have the first few that you had. But it worked, my phone booted up. Thanks again so much!

You're welcome, glad it worked!
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
---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------
I just finished doing this. I am kind of a noob at this so bear with me. I tried this and I get this message that says "Boot up failed" when I try normal powerup. I'm kind of scared..

i was stuck since almost 36 hours, good i dint lose hope and smash the x against the wall
YOUR A LIFE SAVER Fakieskr

Moto x stuck at bootloader warning screen and won't go anywhere else.

So I been up all night trying to figuring out to fix this, so make things short i'll tell you what's wrong. My moto x is stuck at the warning bootloader unlocked screen and the only thing i can go to is the bootloader. I was flashing cyanogenmod 13 and i made some dumb decisions while trying to fix things. I trying to go into recovery but every time it boot back to the warning screen. At this i'm clueless at what to do and i'm just trying get my phone back to working condition, any help is appreciated.

It's always a good idea to put your phone in bootloader mode and do:
fastboot getvar all
So you get all the specs of your phone, and copy the info into a Notepad file.
Did you try reflashing TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-1-victara.img)?
If that's not working, you may be able to reflash stock firmware.
https://firmware.center:8081/firmware/Motorola/
Something like this:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set

I'm all the way up to Fastboot flash system system.img and it is saying Invalid sparse file format at header magi, I don't know if that telling me something wrong or continue.

MetroPCS Moto e5 play xt1921-3 baseband / imei missing

Attempted to root & install TWRP, went to revert to stock, through about 6 different ROM variants for this phone, none of which have restored either the imei or baseband, some help/ insight would be amazing right about now
Did you ever figure this out, if not i can help you, i have had to restore both of them about 50 times, and i have an automated way of doing it, at this point. hit me up if you still need help.
for those having this problem, this is only for the MetroPCS variant xt1921-3 James model, flash back to stock build JAMES_T_OCP27.91-150-5-1_cid21_subsidy-MPCS_RSU_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC from the bootloader using these commands -
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot erase DDR
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
- after you flash and reboot, it will boot up normally, setup up a wifi connection on it and it will tell you there is a new security update. Let it download and install the update, once finished, it will boot up and your baseband and IMEI will be working again.
What did you do to mess those up? I just got this phone, used to love doing this stuff, but it's become such a pain in the a$$ to just use a device I paid for like I want. I don't want that kind of problem. On a Samsung, that problem woud occur if your baseband and modem didn't match properly and the fix was to reflash the correct ones. Might not help you in this case tho.

How to unroot new Z3 play?

So I think I'm going to return this Z3 play. Can someone link me to the process of unrooting?
Hear, HEAR. I second this, I am trying to work my way through the "No SIM Card" or sometimes "Invalid SIM Card" (on Sprint networks) error, and I am just wanting to unroot and relock the bootloader without breaking the thing beyond repair. Any help is appreciated. I located the latest stock firmware on here, but I am not 100% sure on the exact process as of yet.

I have the Unlocked Z3, as well as the Sprint model, and have flashed between stock/CFW many tines. You simply need to use a flash all bat, paired with the stock firmware (current or newer).
However, please keep in mind that the verity message will remain during boot. Locking the bootloader will NOT fix this. If either of you need the bat file lmk.
Edit:
1. Enter fastboot/booloader on phone. Place bat file in SAME folder as unzipped firmware. Android SDK or adb tools must be installed!
2. Try USB2.0 port before 3+
3. Once done, use keys and switch to recovery mode
4. Perform a format
5. Reboot

LOOSING IMEI AND BASEBAND VERSION / SIM showing NO SERVICE

Whenever I try flashing a custom ROM i either loose my IMEI numbers and baseband version or simply get a NO SERVICE. The most recent custom rom i tried was Pixel Experience android 10, for this ROM i had my IMEI numbers and baseband version but got a "no service" - it did however detect my service provider.
Also when i flash the stock ROM back i don't get data(imei and baseband) immediately, i have to perform 2 OTA updates to get them.
So here's what i tried, flashed stock ROM did the 2 OTA updates to get my SIM to work and took a TWRP backup of EFS. Then flashed custom ROM and restored EFS but still didn't get the SIM working
I also took an entire backup of the stock ROM but when i try restoring it i get an error " Extract tar fork 255" in TWRP - now i believe this has to do with the fact tht i'm unable to flash TWRP recovery when on stock ROM (i keep getting a "no command" when i boot to recovery like this) but instead i have to directly boot into twrp every time - fastboot boot twrp.img and when i do it this way TWRP asks for a decrypt(?) password for which i press cancel.. which leads me to believe the backing up doesn't work properly because of this.
Any idea of to fix any of this?
Try to flash validus rom then back to stock.
While flashing stock skip
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
Then flash whatever you want.
And also in twrp try to repair data partition. Decrypt message could be bad disk sign.
I faced this issue, can't get 4G signal and speaking myself "how can validus rom solve this problem, nah just another silly solution"
But it solved!
