Please find the attached step by step screenshots from installation of drivers to running nv manager.

I was able able to read my IMEI just now, while making the guide. But i guess you can only read IMEI and not write it.

Conclusion: Moto G "supports" NV_550 variable. :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunterhere:
Awesome finally it supported now if we can read means we can write also...

And one more thing as u r also using XT 1033 there should be 2imei(s) this is only one, can u read second one also? If yes then where? :confused:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootr:
Well that's the catch.....in two Sims the first one is master.....which uses this variable.....or when converted to xt1032 only this one is activated.....the other I have no idea about.....but that's probably not in these variables....well if at least one gets working that's something.

But this method of IMEI writing is not supported I have tried it countless times, it just resets back on restart

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunterhere:
Not supported because u have tried after doing erase all

It may support after flashing hob dhob and fsc. i.e first flash hob dhob and fsc and then write imei. Like what skyguy said... After all we can do is try whatever comes to our mind.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootr:
No thats not it. Its write protected. But i am not gonna try now. Sorry. You can ask others. Plus messing with IMEI is illegal. This thread can get banned. So better restrict talking explicitly about "IMEI change"

Even after installing 64 bit drivers the situation is all same "driver not intended for this platform" :confused::crying:

Help Needed?

Hi guys!

Im on Argentina and did the lucky "fastboot erase all" command.

Mi phone now shos IMEI = and no signal (but i have wifi), the *#06# (or similar) command gives me IMEI 0 too and the fastboot getvar all doesnt show anything either.

I have my IMEI, i took it from the bootloader bar codes.

Im running lollipop 5.0.1 GPE on a moto g 2313 (XT1032) it was on 4.4.4 on my last attempt and then it just offered me the update).

Is there any way i can help you guys on testing stuff?

I kind of manage how to install custom ROMs but im a noob with this IMEI stuff, any guide on how to install those drivers and NV reader you are talking could be a good starting point (maybe?)

on the other hand i was thinking... (and excuse me if im about to say something SO stupid). There is a portion of the ROM reading those partitions we have deleted to get the IMEI and make it all work, right? what if we can in some way bypass that and just put our IMEI on it? could it be posible?

Thanks in advance for all the hard work you have been doing!

Ariel!

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyguy126:
That's a good idea about faking the imei but the problem is the radio will refuse to boot if we change anything which is why we need a custom radio to get this to work.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunterhere:
Bro were you able to get read your imei on pc via 64 bit drivers? As i m unable to workaround with both 32 and 64. And can you tell me how to extract hob dhob and fsc from a locked bootloader moto g i can do it from a friends phone if it is possible to extract.

Last one more thing do we need a seperate radio for each moto g on this planet? Or is it same for every one? What i mean to say is "is the radio imei dependent"?

---------- Post added at 12:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------

Because my plan is if it is possible to extract images of hob dhob fsc and radio from a locked bootloader moto g thn i m going to extract it with your help [MENTION=6036514]skyguy126[/MENTION] and will flash all in my phone and thn will try to change the imei if they all get flash properly. M i going right? Please tell...

And the point of twist here is that the bootloader is locked and my friend won't allow me to unlock it. So i have to do every experiment with locked bootloader.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tosgaba:
Yes it has intact imei,

And yes qpst reads nv_550 variable,

And if you still couldn't get qpst working i can help.

But one bad news, access to writing some of nv variables are denied including nv_550 variable :(
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyguy126:
If we can read the variable there must be a way to write it. Gonna try and experiment today...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tosgaba:
If we think logically, your idea is applicable :)

I thought a bit and came up with an idea;

Maybe we should find a way to make moto software let qpst write that nv item #550, right?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ariel_:
What exactly does the erase command to partitions? Is there a way to go into bootloader mode and do some kind of undelete to recover the erased data?

And... About cryptography... Having the key, the imei and the encrypted imei... Is that hard to obtain the algorithm so each one of us can create its own data to save in hob and dhob partitions??
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyguy126:
At this point I can give my hob dhob and fsc partitions for anyone to download and flash. Once they flash it will work (99.999999% sure) but it will display my imei. The problem is changing it, and the only real way I see is through the NV variables.

---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

@rootr How do I convert the eight boxes into my imei. Do I need to put the numbers in a hex editor or something?

Everyone else out there who has used fastboot erase all, try and write the imei from the nv editor. If there is an error message please attach a screenshot here. THanks! :D
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyguy126:
Fastboot erase all deletes hob, dhob, and fsc. Go back a few pages in this thread and you will see why they are very important.

Our plan from the beginning was to decompile the radio and force it to write the imei. [MENTION=5383643]bludotos[/MENTION] took up the challenge of doing this so we are just playing a waiting game. If he can successfully decompile it then we can easily force it to write the imei.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joaoricardo.rm:
Let me get one point: at the present moment, if I could copy these partitions from another device and put on my phone, all would work as candy, but with other IMEI? :)

And if just copy some specific partition only WiFi could return to work without using the IMEI, or they do not work independently?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyguy126:
Yeah, I think so, but I might be horribly wrong. The wifi problem is related to /pds and I do not think its related to hob and dhob. Search around the forum to fix the pds wifi issue.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ariel_:
I saw a few cheap broken phones... what if i boy one of those and get the imei from there... can i pui it on mu phone? is it legal? al least until we found a way to restore the original imei back...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bludotos:
So.. Did some research. Nothing useful in NON-HOLS.bin unless we have the hob partition. Its 512 kb and Im not sure what is supposed to be in it. I think the dhob has the imei cause the imei is 8kb (written in hex theres a guide for it somewhere). Unfortunately nothing happens there. Also, if anyone could give me their /proc/config folder that would also help. If you don't want to, at least give me the size of that folder.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Go to play store and browse thru My Apps look for SuperSU and Superuser if you find them uninstall them. Reboot the phone into Recovery and install SuperSU.

If that fails then:

Flash stock recovery and reboot into bootloader. Then flash custom recovery and then root

How Much

How Much Does the 910K resiter cable cost?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] leereyzhe:
Around $10
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] trixi3:
what do you mean for "valid sim"?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] leereyzhe:
You need cellular data connection. But it doesn't have to be a T-Mobile plan, any will work, including roaming.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] trixi3:
I'm from El Salvador, and I'm using the 769 with a local operator, would this work? :confused:
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] leereyzhe:
It should work fine. :good:

Although, you might need to flash a different "radio.zip" for your operator if you can't connect after flashing V20B. (The one I have included is for T-Mobile USA)

In that case I wouldn't know what to do. I don't know much about how radios work. :(\

I would try it without flashing radio.zip first, and see if it will connect. Can you give me more info about your operator?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] CygnusBlack:
Leereyzhe so did you finally get your bootloader unlocked? Your post tells me you did, if so that's great news and especially so since you figured out how to do it with a different cable for encrypted bootloaders.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] leereyzhe:
Indeed I did, I've been running KANG for the past 2 days and so far its been great :thumbup:

I don't hate this phone anymore :D
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] CygnusBlack:
You should Rice and Secure your phone with hardened configs now. I did that to mine and I get 2 days battery on my stock battery. I can also play DSI, 3DS and PSP games on my phone now too. Ricing it makes it even better because you get it to where the system only uses less than 10% of the hardware resources. Install F-Droid then install AFWall+, AdAway and Firefox from F-Droid repos. Doing that for starters and having those configured will remove all ads and unwanted network packets outbound then you get maximum Internet speed too. I have the unlimited no throttle plan from T-Mobile and I usually torrent anywhere from 300 Gigabytes to 1 Terabyte worth of movies, games, music just about anything I want in a pay period. In CM11 there is a wifi hotspot feature so you can tether wirelessly to all you computers and when the browser on your computer is redirected to the T-Mobile site you just change the user-agent in the browser so the network thinks it's an Android lol. Anything with the Linux string will work.

Not too shabby for a $100 device I must say! I'm thinking of getting a new Nexus though here in a few weeks however unless I can get a stable Ubuntu Touch with all the drivers working for this P769. If I can I would probably milk this P769 for a couple more years and keep saving up all my mobile fund haha

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] leereyzhe:
knowledge comes full circle. :D

Hmm. Come to think of it, I don't know of any actually

I've heard the first flash tool crashes on Windows 8, for whatever reason, when trying to flash V20B. But come to think of it, it crashes anyway regardless of OS when using the cable. So, that's why we're flashing it with the other tool, which does work with Windows 8...

You should try it and lemme know how it goes. :D

Oh yes, this will work on your phone. :good:
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] steventechno:
Here's to hoping

I just ordered a 910K cable today. I've already tried unlocking previously with no luch. Mine IS a May 13 phone too, so the old way should have worked. Hopefully if this works I can stop punching my phone in frustration over slowness. XD An idea I have of course for the 45 minute wait on youtube is to put on "War of the servers" since it's a long as* video. should be fine lol
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cris7i:
Holy **** it works. Got the cable today. I have a p760, had 2nd-init CM9 on it so i just flashed v20b with LGFlashTool (not sure why but it doesn't reach 100%, it stops at 80%). First time i waited 30 minutes, tried the command, didn't work (got a little nervous at this point). Flashed v20b again, waited about 45 minutes i think, tried the magical command and it worked! (note: i did this on 8.1 which i don't advise if you don't have fastboot drivers already installed, cause windows wouldn't let me install my own drivers, had to use ubuntu to flash recovery) Now i'm happily running PAC :D.

I couldn't flash Cyanogen because my phone was being read as a p950, error status 7. I flashed the uboot and xloader knowing it would remove the bootloader, and can't get it back... While flashing 20B originally it stopped at 80% and said it failed, this could be what caused all this. The tool now fails to complete at 170 seconds when writing to eMMC memory... The eMMC memory could be broken now, but I can factory reset to stock. I'm pretty sure I essentially ruined the phone :cool:. Any ideas?

Fixed by flashing 20F then flashing, but I can't make the phone see itself as p769.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] steventechno:
Try

I've had my Phone sometimes show up as a p769 then it goes back to being ms769 on MetroPCs. Kinda wierd, You can try using a Nandroid backup that's available here to see if that fixes it if you still have CWM recovery installed. Sometimes just a simple reboot can trigger it back to normal. I'd advise trying a p769 backup in Recovery if a simple reboot didn't work. That should probably put stuff back in it's place.

If you don't have Recovery, maybe you can adb\fastboot push a bootstrap Recovery. :o

Recovery issue

Hey guys,

I flashed the cwm 6.0.4.9 recovery image using Flashify. However, when I rebooted the phone to test it the lights aren't flashing. Does this need to be done on stock ROM, because I've been trying to install on CM11 with no luck. Any help is appreciated!

Let me know if you guys need any additional info
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] AlbinoCookie:
You need to start as if you were going to hard factory reset. Hold power, volume down, home button and when lg logo appears let go of the power. This is how I boot into recovery on 6.0.4.5. I'd backup first just in case the flash didn't work :good:.

This has worked on my P769. I had tried 15+ times without the 910k cord.

Sorry to hear, from what I can remember the phone did get pretty warm on the Europe rom, although I did always have it plugged in. Also, what is the date on the back of your battery, and do you have bad signal where you live?

I had very bad signal since I live in a ditch essentially, until they put a 4G tower near us.

I'm unsure if it really does make a huge impact myself. I just noticed it when I was about to flash, that the directories showed that the OP had it set up in the root directory. I just assumed that maybe it behaved like the other tool used to flash V10G/V20H kdz, that it needed to be there to work properly. I could be wrong, but can't hurt to try :).
