Hi, all
To anyone experiencing IMEI = 0, therefore no cellular network, this here is a workaround. This happened to me firsthand, and I thought I should pay it forward and share with anyone who experiences this.
Your IMEI is not lost, it's just sitting there. You can see it in fastboot using "fastboot getvar all" command, and in the "Barcode" in bootloader menu.
Any attempt in writing IMEI via QPST tool is futile, because our device is write protected.
I have recovered my IMEI by doing the following:
1. Install Validus-sanders-8.1.Beta.1.3-OFFICIAL-20180128-0506.zip
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850488560
2. After 1st boot in Validus you will see that your IMEI is now recognized, but still you are missing 4G. To recover this, reboot to bootlaoder and reflash the modem using the following fastboot commands:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
Reboot to connect to 4G.
3. Important: Reboot to TWRP and Create EFS Backup!
(Optional)
4a. Reflash stock ROM via fastboot, flash TWRP and restore your EFS partition using the backup you made.
4b. Reflash using TWRP flashable stock ROM in the thread below by @Ae3NerdGod and restore your EFS partition using the backup you made.

Thanks for this. Wish it was up when it happened to me. I was ready to try and take back the phone while it was dead and hope they didn't try to turn it on. Lol. I loose my 4g everytime and 3g sometimes after flashing. In theroy I can do this after flashing a custom rom to get my 4g back right? I hope so cause I'm gonna try it. Once again, thanks for this!

You don't need to do all that - just flash stock (remove SIM before flashing and pop it back in after you've booted to stock).

On my experience, I have flashed every stock ROM for xt1805 there is as it is my model, flashed and reflashed modems, cleared modemst1 and modemst2 to no avail. IMEI=0. I removed sim before flash and popped it after booting, but still same result. It went on for almost 2 weeks. One thing I noticed is that the modem version becomes MSM8953_27.36.07.41u while the version in the xml file in stock zip is ***.41R. I don't know what that means, I flashed the latest firmware for xt1805. I am thinking that the letter stands for your region (u=US, e=EMEA, etc). My phone now after it has regai ed IMEI is ***.41e. Maybe it's a mismatch of modem since the bad flash that wrecked my phone and it changed something that makes it swtich to the right bands. I'm not quite sure though.

Fwiw - I'm in the us, my baseband is 40e, so I think you might have the us firmware.
Where did u get the firmware? And how are you flashing it?
Edit , just noticed your baseband is 41e , disregard the above - but - do answer the questions.

Q: Where did u get the firmware?
A: I got the firmware I am using here:

Q: And how are you flashing it?
A: I am flashing it by following the sequence in flashfile.xml. I put it in a proper syntax in notepad and paste it line by line.

Sounds like the flash procedure is correct , as long as each step flashed successfully.
I believe you mentioned flashing every firmware available - including from firmware center?
If so - all I can say its contact your carrier - if it was ok out of the box, and you've flashed the original firmware, it should work again.
Good luck!

Your link to my twrp stock zip 404's, just saying.
I am following this so far, but i can't figure out where you got those files from:
fastboot flash modemNON-HLOS.bin fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
Are they from the ROM you decided to be your Stock ROM? Because the Custom ROM doesn't contain those. And i am not sure i want to put just some random ROM Files in there...
Thanks for the help you provided with this Thread so far anyway =)
Edit: I tried it with the Files from the Stock ROM and it actually worked =)

Then what?
I am.coming from regular Moto G5 where this was a problem too. The solution over there was, if you are on a custom 8.x oreo rom, you needed, before going to stock, flash 32 bit twrp and a 32 bit rom. Then, after first boot, you could go back to stock with no problems. Just got this one and not planning to move from stock as I feel official oreo is right at the corner, but give it a try like this and report back if you were able to
I tried flashing pixel experience but I was having network connectivity issues, so I flashed stock firmware. Now My IMEI doesnt display and I cant connect to signal. I have tried re-flashing stock to no avail, tried using imei recovery tools, and nothing has worked. Is there anything else I can do?

Same situation, nothing can be done at the moment. Waiting for official stock oreo to be released. Its the only hope. My phone have been without signal for a month now

Flash pixel experience ROM again..!
Check IMEI..if present.. proceed....!
To fix 4G Signal.
Pass these commands
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot reboot.
Now Check and take efs backup from twrp and restore to stock ROM.
Skip these while flashing stock.
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
Caution: Avoid any Volte fix methods and other's persist restore.

Have you tried?
Fastboot erase modemst1

Or try flashing the NON-HLOS.bin file from Quack Phh-Treble, make sure you erase modemst1 & 2 after flashing then reboot

Thank you for that. I was stuck on 3G with the ROM Moto Experience+ after a battle to solve the lost of IMEI e another battle to install TWRP. With everything solved, the phone was stuck on 3G and thanks to your solution I was able to connect on LTE again.
