[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] chankruze:
Hi there,

I was using Pixel Experience (8.1.0) ROM in my moto g5 plus ( XT-1686).

One day i messed up with the recovery partition of my device and bricked it in a way that i can only access to my bootloader & was also able to boot phone & use it normally but i had no way to access to my recovery.

Therefore i flashed stock firmware but now there was a major problem , IMEI 0 even though it detects sim card but IMEI was 0.

(screenshots are attached).

But after rooting when i clean flash any custom rom i was able to get back my imei so, i modified the stock firmware & create a simple user friendly one click GUI program named as "STOCK FIRMWARE SAFE FLASH"(2SF TOOL) solution to this problem.

WHAT IS THIS TOOL ?

Well as i said previously,by this tool you will be able to flash moto g5 plus stock firmware without IMEI loss.

Stock POTTER_NPN25.137-67-5_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip is repacked with this tool & uploaded to google drive.
