This is the solution for unknown baseband and null imei error for mt6737 device Moto E4 Plus.

This is fix for Moto E4 Plus Xt1770 Indian Version.

(Note: You must have adb folder in Local disk C of your computer. To make things easier if you paste the firmware folder of Xt1770 within the adb folder , things will run more smoothly. To know how to have adb folder in Local Disk C, just Google it.)

Fixing On Moto E4 Plus XT1770

1.First download stock firmware and flash it (Format all+ download).

2. Then run the phone once. You will be having unknown baseband error.

3. Nothing to worry. Here is the fix.

4. Again Open Sp flash Tool and Click On Scatter Loading.

5.Here Select Scatter from LK Folder (Already In Firmware Folder)

6.Click On Download. Switch off the phone and holding volume up and volume down button connect it to PC.

7.After Flash Switch On The device

Device Will be on Special Bootloader Mode.

8.Again Connect Device to PC

9.Open Firmware Folder

7.Run "hwflash" Bat.It is present in firmware folder.(IMPORTANT)

8. Next Download XT1770. (I have attached the file)

Copy That Bat File in Firmware Folder and run it.

AFTER THE BAT Runs,Type "1"press Enter.

( Note: If it just runs without you getting a chance to press 1 , that means adb is not there in Local Disk C. You can confirm by running the command "adb devices" from cmd. )

9.If things go correctly, you will get Press any key to exit command.

10. Now disconnect your phone.

11. Again open Sp flash tool and select the default 6737 scatter file( NOT the one in lk folder).

12. Now deselect all except preloader and lk. Click download. Your phone is still in special Bootloader mode. Power off and holding volume up and volume down connect your device to the PC again.

13. Once flashing is complete. Switch on the phone again.

14. You will now have baseband. If you still have null imei, fix it using Maui Meta tool from hovatek forum.

15. All this info was collected from GsmHosting.

Thanks .

Hi.

Does Sony have service manuals for XZs phone with a parts list?

Mine XZs has a cracked screen, I'm in Thailand and a service center is far-far away from me, considering order parts online and do DIY repair. Found out that to replace the screen I need some OEM adhesives to keep phone waterproof.

Wanna do it right and order all parts I need, it would be handy to have service manual to get OEM part numbers and step-by-step guide.

Maybe you know where to get this manual?

Thanks.

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcyb9:
In short:

- I bought my M3 in March 2017, EU version w/ Wi-Fi and 4G; I use it out of home.

- BlueBorn is a very bad vulnerability that affects Bluetooth protocol, and VERY NASTY exploits exist; only workaround available for M3: bluetooth off. Other firms have patched their products long time ago.

- I have the latest firmware available -B303 which is still vulnerable (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.armis.blueborne_detector).

In conclusion: hardware is perfect but software prevents me to use the bluetooth functionality, so this item is to be considered broken (or better defective by design) withouth chance of repair. Flash a custom rom? No way, since unlocking the bootloader by software would affect the warranty on hardware (it was your choice, Huawei).

I called the reseller (not Huawei) to complain for this: I will send the item back soon and get a full refund.

BTW: European Union customer protection laws apply. YMMV. Reseller is responsible. Reseller may complain with Huawei (and I think it will, in my case). Sorry Brexiters.

End of story.

Goodbye Huawei and thanks for all the fish, but after four month, it stinks a lot. [IMG="fish"]https://i.imgur.com/16gjAOe.png[/IMG]

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] preacher65:
I don't know if there are any hardware or firmware differences between models sold in the UK and EU, but just for anyone else's info, I just ran the same app on B303 on my UK, wifi-only version and got a clean bill of health. I'm relieved, but it's slightly surprising (to me at least) that the 4G version fails with what I assume is otherwise the same firmware release.

(Disclaimer: I'm new to Huawei devices so apologies if I'm missing something about hardware/ROM versions. I have BTV-W09C100B303 with 6th Nov Android patch level.)

[Huawei Mediapad M3 Guides, News, & Discussion] CL0SeY:
Interesting - the scanner shows my Xiaomi mi5s as being potentially vulnerable remotely as well. It has December 2017 patch level. Running it from either device shows the local device as being OK though. Strange

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
Anyone using battery monitoring apps like BBS or GSam, can you share some of your stats here? I'm trying to figure out whether the seemingly massive amount of wakelocks I'm having is normal or not. The biggest problems seem to be coming from the kernel itself. BBS shows a lot of kernel wakelock time, and GSam consistently lists the kernel as the highest drain in its app sucker screen. Also, the Phone app seems to be waking the device a lot since upgrading to .5.51, which wasn't a problem on .3.374.

I've attached some screenshots that illustrate the problem. I'm already using ForceDoze and Greenify, which have been enabled via ADB, and I've restricted background activity and data for the vast majority of my apps. I'm really hoping there's something I can do about this given that it's impossible to use another kernel (LB and none available for this phone anyway). I've software repaired/clean flashed 3 times.

My battery drain is actually not bad at under 4%/hr (combined screen on/off) and about 1%/hour with the screen off overnight. Today I've logged over 4.5 hours SOT in a period of 17 hours and am sitting pretty at 36%. That's better than any phone I've ever used. But I worry that all the wakelocks are using my phone's CPU, raising its temperature, and might contribute to faster battery degradation.

Also, this is with bluetooth off and my Pebble not paired, but battery drain becomes substantially worse with that setup. My idle drain triples with my Pebble connected. I'm trying to troubleshoot one issue at a time and want to nail these wakelocks before moving onto the bluetooth issues.

If your battery stats looked like mine and especially if you figured out how to fix it, please share!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] mhaha:
Given that Sony ended .5.51 deployment prematurely and is currently rolling out .8.49, I think you should update to .8.49 (or wait until your region gets the update if you don't have it yet) then recheck if your problem still persists.

Pouring time and resources into a version that Sony is no longer pushing isn't that great of an investment, especially since it's possible that it was fixed in .8.49.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
Everything except the phone app using more battery was the same on .374. And I fixed that after force stopping the phone app and rebooting. I've been trying to troubleshoot this for weeks but just upgraded to .5.51 a couple of days ago. I will flash it when it comes out for Customized UK, but I don't think .5.51 is the root of the problem.

(Oh cool, Xperifirm actually shows .8.49 available for Customized UK now. Time for some flashing!)

Edit: I'm seeing the same degree of wakelocks so far on .8.49.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
Update: The battery drain from "phone" is actually Android System. There's a bug in Oreo where sometimes Android System is showing as Phone/RCS in the battery stats. Doesn't explain why Android System is using so much battery though.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
So I managed to get a lot of my battery drain figured out, but a few things are still bothering me.

1) Google Play Services and Android System and/or Phone (see my last post) are using the Significant Motion Sensor to wake my device constantly.

2) Sony's smart charger (com.sonymobile.smartcharger) is waking my device. I'm assuming this has something to do with Battery Care, which I find to be a useful feature. But why does it need to continue sending alarms to wake up our phones when not plugged in?

I've attached 2 screenshots from Better Battery Stats showing the first issue (Sensors/Play Services and Phone) and 1 showing the second (Alarms/Smart Charger). Note the "wakeup=true" and long times recorded for Significant Motion. This held true when I had my phone sitting face-down on a table for 6+ hours to do battery testing earlier.

Anyone else who uses battery monitoring apps: have you noticed any similar issues?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
I'm with you on RCSService being main culpirt for me. No I don't think it's a bug, it actually does use lots of battery. I listen to 3+ hours of bluetooth music a day and when I saw that RCSService was using more power than my bluetooth, then I thought it was time to experiment. So I uninstalled Carrier Service and RCSService and suddenly my battery life jumped by 20%. There was something in the November update to these services that made them go nuts. Several people have noticed a jump in battery usage, but most people, myself included, thought it was down to the new firmware. Uninstalling these 'features' has made no difference to SMS for me, other than I don't get a read confirmation.

I don't know about smart charger, sorry.

Pretty sure the proximity sensor is always on and that must use some power, but I don't know what that would be called in BBS.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
Thanks! I should clarify that when I say it's a bug, I believe something is using a lot of battery, but I don't know that it's necessarily Phone/RCS, because it shows up randomly as either that or just Android System. I think it might be something within Android System but being labeled as Phone or RCS. (Edit: Or the other way around; it could be 100% RCS and sometimes shows up as Android System because the phone is part of that umbrella.) I could be wrong but based my judgment on the links I posted above.

That being said, I disabled Carrier Services on your recommendation in the other thread because my carrier doesn't support VoLTE, VoWiFi, or RCS, I've never seen a "delivered" message, and I don't even use the Google Messages app anyway (I use Texra for SMS and keep Messages disabled). So like you, I don't need these services. And I do think there's been an improvement. Might be time to go through the rest of what you recommended via ADB. The only thing that concerns me about doing that is that I'll have to factory reset if I ever switch carriers and want those services, but I guess that's a small price to pay and an unlikely scenario anyway.

The smart charger thing is just weird. It shouldn't need to constantly check whether I'm charging since it kicks in when you plug in. Yesterday I disabled battery care during the day and re-enabled it at night to charge, and I had the best battery life since I've owned the phone: 4.5 hours of SOT over 18 hours off the charger with 30% remaining. I may have to look at idle drain with battery care disabled. I like the idea of battery care, but if it's draining my battery then it just defeats the purpose.

Regarding sensors, BBS has its own category for proximity sensor; this is a separate sensor for significant motion. Somehow Google Play Services and either Phone/RCS or Android System are using that particular sensor all the time. And not just listening to it, but causing lots of wakeups and doing so while the device is sitting on a table all night. I can only deduce that it's somehow seeing motion when there isn't any.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Do you have 'On Body Detection' enabled in smart lock? That would force the phone to affirm if it's moving/stationary regularly and quite often.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
I never enabled that from the start, but just checked in case Google did something, and it's still off. :confused:

I also checked my app permissions, and the only ones with access to body sensors are Google Play Services and Tasker. None of my active Tasker profiles require the significant motion sensor. One of them does use the orientation sensor to turn the speakerphone on when it's face-up during a call, but I tried disabling that profile and the stats didn't change.

Maybe I have a messed-up accelerometer...do you know of a way to test that? (Edit: Found it in the Support app - my accelerometer, gyroscope, and proximity sensor are fine)

I think I might head to the Sony Mobile forums with the smart charger issue for that matter. It may be a bug that affects all phones with Qnovo features, or maybe they could at least give me an explanation.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] mhaha:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you just "reinstall" those services via the same adb commands? Where you typed uninstall, just replace with install?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
Maybe, but I don't know where I would be installing them from...? Since I don't have a backup of the package. I uninstalled a bunch of stuff via adb before and it didn't return with a dirty reflash. I had to flash userdata. So that's all I'm going by.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] mhaha:
I'm not sure of the actual technical mechanics, but I believe uninstalling system apps doesn't actually remove the package from the system image, so you can reinstall them at any time.

I think it's like taking down a sign on a store, the actual store is still there, just all references to it are no longer there, so to the OS it's not listed - "uninstalled".

Hello - was there any solution found for this issue?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Dean F:
Hi there, what was the final solution to your issue?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] jrbmed08:
I gave up. I still have a ton of wakelocks. GSAM shows a bunch of them even when my phone is supposedly dozing. My battery life is OK, not nearly as great as I hoped I'd have with this phone, but it gets me through the day so I've just been living with it. I have noticed better battery on the latest firmware (July patch) than June. I also got rid of the RCS stuff, which helped a bit. And finally I traced a lot of my drain to an app I was using called "hide running in background notification" which the last few firmwares can do natively.

(Edit: Sorry for missing your previous post!)

Edit: I was sadly mistaken about better battery on the July patch. The battery is only better if I'm not on wifi. I posted in the wifi drain thread about it just now.
