Yep! I have unlocked my bootloader but not flashed a custom ROM. I used lazyflasher and Magisk to root my device. Not sure if that's a custom ROM, I'm kind of new to rooting and Android modification haha :p

So is there something I need to do to help with an issue here?

No...but If Oreo fix this trouble.. ill wait...
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Zuk z1 K2L:
Thank you .. I got my Volte back.

I flash stock rom using twrp. and took EFS backup.

and then restore my previously used Orio custom rom. then i did restore efs backup and got volte in 8.0 too.

But,....

I just want to know that if i want to go to stock rom using fastboot command then what the step i have to follow.

I am confused because if i go with stock rom and lock bootloader .. then my recovery update to default recovery . It removes TWRP right?

then how to restore EFS backup after install Stock ROm and lock bootloader.

I believe you can help some folks on this thread by providing them some files from your phone as you have unlocked bootloader and you're on stock
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] roshuraut:
Thanks brother you are gunius but how can i locked bootloader and it is safe to download ota update when Motorola release or my device get hard brick due to OTA update .
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
Once you have your VOLTE back on stock rom, just boot into bootloader and flash this in fastboot:

fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot oem lock

Not sure about taking OTA's, as there may be something changed in efs that will flag the code.

Thanks a lot man..!!

Now i get 4g in stock rom with proper signal.. but its not showing volte. so is it ok with it or not.?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] akshu2697:
Now if you getting 4g ,to get volte do as this guide suggest.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] skmaiyad:
I already did. but still not coming.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] akshu2697:
You have to do this in stock ROM.

Take efs backup of 4g network in twrp,

And then restore both persist and efs backup in stock rom
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] skmaiyad:
below are the steps which i followed:

1. first i get 4g signal in custom rom using below commands:

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

2. after that i take backup of efs and put persist file into twrp backup folder.

3. i flashed the stock rom.

4. then i restore efs file and then persist file backup.

let me know if anything wrong here.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] akshu2697:
Still you haven't got volte..!!! then maybe you have another problem,
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] skmaiyad:
what should i do now.? i badly need Volte back in my device please.

but i am not geting signal for jio sim card. i have another card vodafone in which i get 4g signal.. in custom rom after applied that commands, i get LTE signal. which i took backup of efs and restore into stock rom.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Cupcake 1.5:
I don't know if this is meant to persistently keep efs from having issues as well as volte, but for me, it doesn't work. I restore the persist with my efs backup, then flash stock to lock bootloader (had enough of bugs), I boot to no signal.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
Restore efs after flashing stock, then immediately relock bootloader. When you flash the stock, you have a corrupt efs partition, so repair it, then you are able to relock.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Cupcake 1.5:
That only works if you skip erase modemst commands. That's a problem. When you receive any updates, those commands are run. If this fix in this thread cannot survive modemst erase, it's not a fix.

1) fastboot stock

2) flash twrp

3) restore efs with persist fix

4) fastboot stock recovery

5) lock bootloader

At this point if you do not skip erase modem commands, this fix does not work, therefore it will fail even after a security patch which will use such erase commands. For me the persist does not survive erase modem commands.

Obviously this topic is specifically about getting volte to work, but the no signal issue and no volte came together as one problem. I was just hoping the persist would fix the efs being erased when flashing stock.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
I don't think anyone said it fixed everything. I know for me getting back 4G/LTE was first crucial step. Then we need to move on to fixing baseband version, but that entails rewriting EFS and that becomes problematic as it contains EMEI. Other phones have had these problems and used MTK programs to rewrite EFS then using hex editor and IMEI convertor programs, to fix the individual phone to correct for its own info. Most of the write ups on this are for Samsung phones, so there is a lot of work to do in applying it to moto. For the ambitious, I believe this is the direction that needs to be pursued for a real and permanent "fix". For those who do not want to work on this, I guess the alternative is to sit back and hope Oreo update fixes it.

3.After recovered your IMEI, and if you are stuck with 3G/2G,

Try these command:

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

Guys can anyone provide us QCN file backup.

We need qcn file from unrooted,unbricked device,
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Kdemwa:
Use all fastboot command except Modem1 and 2
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
You realize that QCN is reported to have IMEI in it. That is why I have been working to find where it shows in hex so it can safely be zeroed out to protect the donor. It is reported on the G4 plus that there are up to 8 places the IMEI resides, as a sort of extra security check on the moto phones, that prior models didn't have. I agree someone is going to have to provide EFS or QPST's copy of QCN, but it shouldn't be posted in public. I could be wrong about all this, but I've been doing a lot of reading and experimenting with QPST and this is the info I have gleamed.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] akshu2697:
Yeah I know that qcn file consist of IMEI.

BUT If someone replace their original IMEI with some random value then it will be helpful for us.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
OK, not trying to be a wet blanket, as it is going to be necesaary eventually, but needs to be done with care. That being said, there are differing opinions. Here is a FAQ from one site, not XDA.

---------- Post added at 07:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 AM ----------

Also, as a side note, these phones are tricky to get into diagnostic mode, which is necessary for QPST to recognize it and the port it is on. Putting the phone in BP Tools mode then going to your PC's device manager will show up to 5 instances of the phone. You have to click on one, then point it to the drivers you have installed to make QPST functional. If one doesn't work, you have to work your way down the list. So far, no love for me on this.

OK, I was steered wrong, in those instructions. Instead of BPtools it is Qcomm that needs to be entered into.

I have a Moto g5 plus XT1686 which was on stock & is my daily driver.

Let me rant a little before i come to the point

So the story starts after I completed 1 year with this phone and saw to much delay for Oreo from Moto plus heard great things about Gcam. I unlocked my bootloader flashed twrp recovery took a backup. Then installed this rom https://xdaforums.com/ground-zero-roms/ground-zero-roms-feature-development/moto-g5-plus-validus-t3683412 . And tried few gcam got to know focusing was horible though when it works pictures look great but it rarely works Plus there was serious Volte issue with that rom(Volte will randomly stop working without any sign. Have missed two many important calls because of this & the sad part is other side will get the felling that i am not picking the phone where as my phone would not show even a single notification or any sign that someone is calling me. Ps. Won't blame the devloper here because i knew what i was doing , it didn't simply worked for me), So i restored my stock backup. And everything is working fine.

Now the intresting part

When i was on Validus-potter-8.1.0.Stable.1.9-Official-20180325-1244 my baseband version was showing 47r even in fastboot mode.

But when i restored my stock backup my baseband version is showing 47e. Though my Volte is working prefectly. So can anyone kindly explain to me how my Volte is working prefectly with baseband version 47e as contrary to others with same baseband.

And what does persist.ext4.win contains( does it have info about IMEI or things which shouldn't be shared) [MENTION=7907867]akshu2697[/MENTION] [MENTION=8947329]gumpysitruc@gmail.com[/MENTION]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to completely unroot my phone and revert back to stock with locked bootloader. I know that in order to preserve imei when fastbooting stock to skip modem erase. However, after fastbooting stock, and restoring efs+persist backup, I lose my imei again after 2 or 3 OTA updates. Is this because my baseband is still M8953_37.46.07.47a POTTER_NA_CUST ? Or is this because OTA is messing with modem? Any help would be much appreciated. I'm currently using the twrp flashable stock builds for XT1687.

Hi. Very very thanks dude. Reworking my Volte. Thanks. :good::victory:
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] gumpysitruc@gmail.com:
My opinion is that if you are using the persist posted in these forums, they are not specifically from the xt1687, so are marginally different, but enough so to fail the ota update.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] smartish123:
Hmm that's an interesting point. I'll try and see what happens without the persist from the g4.

Update: I tried it and I'm able to pass the OTA. (As in my phone completes the OTA installation and restarts) However I still run into the problem where my imei becomes 0 after the OTA. Im using the guide from this post https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/help/restore-imei-0-moto-g5-xt1687-t3739808

to restore my imei before I used fastboot to install stock. Maybe it's because the modem is from an Oreo rom? Or maybe it's because my baseband is different?

I want to go back to stock rom currently I am using RR and Volte is working fine.

And I don't have efs backup of stock rom when Volte was working ,So what should I do in order to not lose or get back my volte when on stock rom ?
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] Wolfcity:
Back up efs while being on RR and restore it on stock. There's no guarantee that volte will be working on stock but it helps you in case of losing IMEI or 4g signal.

There's no guaranteed way to get volte back after being on a custom ROM.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] irfanalinawaz:
I am sure current efs backup will work with volte when you will restore it while flashing back to stock rom.
[Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion] bra1niac:
if you have VoLTE in RR I wouldn't take the risk of flashing back to stock. I WOULD definitely take a TWRP backup of your EFS partition now though, and store it somewhere off the phone just in case.

good luck

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 (G930F - International Version), purchased from an eBay seller who is in a US Military Base somewhere in Japan (APO Address). The phone was used, but in Mint Condition.

I did a Antutu benchmark on the phone and scored 160,000+. The app indicated that my phone could be a fake when verification of the Phone specs failed. Then I downloaded and used the "AnTuTu Officer" app. It also indicates that my phone is a high copy (fake).

I watched all the "Samsung Galaxy S7 - Fake vs Real" videos on YouTube and compared my phone to the real ones on the YouTube videos, and my phone seems to be legit.

Should I trust the "AnTuTu Officer" App?
