This worked for my xt1805 that had no LTE after installing a custom ROM then restoring stock. Had no IMEI at first and installing a new custom ROM fixed that, but tried everything including deleting the modem environment partition (e.g. here) but only this persist solution would restore the LTE.

Many thanks!

[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] sreekanthdb:
Hi,

I restored this extracted file using TWRP and now my IMEI is 0.

Here are the steps I did to get back my IMEI. none of these worked. Please advice.

1. Locked bootloader and went back to stock ROM (version NPSS26.116-61-5 with march update)

2. Did erase of modemst1 &t2 with out any success

3. Flashed just Non-Hlos and Fsg and DSP only.

4. Flashed various ROMS like Pixel experience, Validus, Resurrection Remix, franken ROM. Didn't even get 3G after this.

None of this seem to restore my imei.

But when I did fastboot getvar all I am able to see one IMEI of 15 digits.. So I don't think I bricked my phone.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] 1976sam:
You should try the restore method in this section of forums for your imei it worked flawlessly for me.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] caballerobhanu:
flashed from your persist fix zip... imei went 0, and now i can't fix it. Kindly share your efs backup or provide any help if you can...

[MENTION=6499459]caballerobhanu[/MENTION] first restore your imei following the guide mentioned in another thread in this section and after that follow my guide. And most importantly follow all these steps on latest march stock rom

hey, i tried to restore it, but no matter what i do, i am not able to recover it.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] sreekanthdb:
Same for me as well. I tried each and every rom but still no IMEI. No EFS backup available as well:crying::crying:

U have to restore these on stock rom bro

---------- Post added at 03:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 AM ----------

For imei flash validus then rebopt Erase modemst1 modemst2... Or flash rr
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] sreekanthdb:
Did that as well. Flashed Validus Rom, Pixel Experience, Resurrection Remix, AOSP Extended Rom and Franken ROM. No success on any of the roms.

PS: I went to Moto service center today and asked them if they will restore software. They said for unlocked bootloaders they'll not do it.. :crying: Guess I need to wait till OREO is officially released.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] s.k.rajput:
Flash validus/rr boot... Then reboot to Bootloader... Islf imei is still null... Then do erade modemst1 modemst2 commands
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] sreekanthdb:
Done that. I flashed all the above mentioned roms and after boot there's no IMEI. so I erased modemst1 & t2. but not working
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] caballerobhanu:
thing is signal is there, 4g is there, data can be used, but imei = 0.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] s.k.rajput:
That's strange... As usually signal wont come if imei is null
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] caballerobhanu:
Yeah, I tried RR vali aex, nothing was happening so I reverted to stock and locked the bootloader and submitted it to service center , they might be able to do something here. But they said your phone was rooted and we can't help you here. We can replace PCB which will cost you around 9-10k... So will go back tomorrow to collect.

Then will try something else.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] s.k.rajput:
U lost imei & locked bootloader y tho?? Some peeps who did the same thing are unable to get unlock code from Moto... U need to contact them via social media to get if u dont get the code from official site... Also u cant be able to use data or ur device will shows signals if u have imei lost
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] caballerobhanu:
Let's see once I get the device...

Edit: same unlock code worked...

now... first thing i learned on xda was to make backup first before doing anything... thank god i did that when i first brought the device.. but forgot i did that...

so i got the device... restored that backup... so now imei is back...

How to recover from this f*ck up

[MENTION=6020735]muklshakya123[/MENTION]

After I nearly lost my IMEI by blindly flashing anything I come across here in XDA, I have wised up and not make the same mistakes again. Glad to say, I'm not one of those who lost their IMEI and experienced green cam issues.

You guys obviously f*cked up a lot of phones here. Lesson is, never use something that is not specifically made for your phone.

I think it's your moral obligation to unf*ck things up and help others who did too, so look for a willing donor of a clean persist partition and back it up and share in this thread.

1. Dump the clean persist partition using adb, type the following commands:

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p30 of=/sdcard/persist.img

2. Share that partition in this thread of course

3. Flash the persist images on your affected phones:

fastboot flash persist persist.img

If flashing persist.img is forbidden by the bootloader, search in the xda forums how to convert .img to .ext4 format, then restore the partition using TWRP like you did when flashing this ****ty persist from G4
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gebcruz06:
Persist backup xt1805

Hi, all

For a temporary fix, here's a persist backup from moto g5s plus xt1805 that has IMEI, from NPSS26.116-61-8 stock and modem version M8953_27.36.07.41e, not overwritten by the Athene persist in this thread. I suggest to include this in your EFS backup folder and restore in TWRP. Please wait for the upcoming release of the TWRP by [MENTION=4854637]CheckYourScreen[/MENTION], it will support /persist partition backup. Until then, hope that someone will share a pristine persist partition where the IMEI was not wiped due to returning from stock coming from a custom ROM.

PS.

DO AT YOUR OWN RISK. I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG.

[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Phazmos:
While this may break devices, it doesn't break any xda rules which would cause it to be removed. What is unfortunate is the ignorance of users who think just because it's on the internet, it must be true, and do things to their devices without knowing what it is they are doing. XDA is not responsible for the intelligence, or lack thereof, of its users.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] William1020000:
Could you help me understand what the persist partition actually is? What does it contain / do? And, will I be able to undo the damage caused by flashing this if I backed up my EFS before flashing? Thanks.
[Moto G5S Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Phazmos:
In short (very short) general configuration/settings for various device specific components.

Your best bet, and no guarantees, would be to get a bu from the same device in the same region with the same os version and flash it.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] TigerLee222:
When I have a default notification sound set in my S8, I get a ton of notification sounds, but nothing in the notification bar. It's extremely annoying. I turned off all the app notifications I could, but it didn't help.

I also tried Do Not Disturb with custom exceptions so I would only get notifications for the apps I want, but they are still silent.

Is there a third party app that will mimic what Samsung's DND is supposed to be doing or a way to shut off the phantom notifications?

I'm really starting to hate this phone. For several reasons. :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] xUnlaced:
Suggestions

Hello,

I have not had the same issue as you but I've definitely had problems with things syncing on time or out of order. I'm sure you already have, but be sure to dig deep into phone notification settings but individual app settings as well to see if anything is off. If you run the internal app closer, does the issue still occur? Worst case scenario, you could factory reset your phone and see if that corrects the issue.

Hi!

I have rooted my phone, and i have flashed Oreo RR and everything is working, BUT...when i have 4G (LTE) my signal drops down and suddenly i dont have a signal. Even if i dont have 4G on my signal drops.

But if a am on 2G network my signal is full and no drops whatsoever.

I have tried to go back and flash 7.1 But same problem there.

So my question, is it someting wrong with my phone? Because i remember that i didnt have these kind of issue before i flashed a ROM.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Archangel:
I have to say that after flashing any of the 8.1 roms it is a crap shoot whether I get any voice signal (4G) at all when I reboot. I kinda wish I never would have updated to any of these 8.1 roms. I know there was warnings when I first bought the phone about saving your EFS and other aspects of your stock rom and I did do that. But man,,I dont know if it was that the devs just didnt know or what,,,but I would have rather stayed on Nougat and not have to worry if my phone signal will come back after a reboot. And it happens with every 8.1 rom at some point and trust me those out there saying "well it never happened to me, give it time, it will LOL. Not complaining, we all signed up for this when we tinker with the phones like we do, but if I had known it would be like this then i would have stayed stock.

Would a custom Oreo ROM still boot with a stock Nougat EFS partition?
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] rbk281:
Signal bars seems to be an issue with most Oreo ROMs I've tried (Lineage, PixelExperience, Ressurection, AOSPExtended, MSM). I've even tried flashing my backed up Persist/EFS. However I've noticed that my phone is still reachable and can make calls even when it shows the "No Service" message. As soon as it does the signal bars get updated so not sure if this is not just a UI glitch.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] ajmdve:
hello, friends. Specially those who are worried about the so many problems with signal moto g5 users face. Im here asking for help. i have a moto g5 (cedric) i was working almost fine with oreo stock. i say almost because some times when i lost signal it didnt recover like any other phone woud, i had to reboot. now from almost a week ago i had lost signal and now i only have 4g. no 3G and no 2G, so no voice calls going out nor incoming ones. i ve done hard resets, flashing stock 7.0 and going back to stock 8.1 and nothing. on saw 3g for a little moment coming back to oreo. i also flashed carbon rom wich is android 9.0 to see if a custom rom helped but it didnt. i only have internet now and sms. and this is very frustrating. ive checked persist folder and everything is correct there. i have my imei right, this phone is like new but not being able to call is like not having a phone at all. also why i have to reboot to recover missing signal? is just a pain. this moto phones are really problematic when it comes to Signal management.

things to consider too: im currently on stock oreo, just rooted to be able to check if persist folder was correct and to backup efs folder. also my operator uses 900mhz band as 2g and 3g wich is an european frecuency not common in latin america. maybe that has something to do with problems im facing. the rom has cedric_latam_cust as the baseband. can anyone help me find one frome europe? im wondering if flashing one from there could help. the weird thing is that it was working before with that baseband.

so many people losing 4g, i could be glad if that was my case and had 2g and 3g only with full internet and calling capabilities.

im sorry i know it is a little bit too much information. but i really need the help

I had the same problem. I discovered that if I tap on the speaker part of the icon located at the top in the title bar, it would set my volume to 0. If I tap on the noise part (the 3 lines to the right of the speaker icon) it would return to the normal volume. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature. :D
