[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] K3n H1mur4:
Just out of curiosity, I tried a fastboot getvar all and it returned some peculiar info, specifically that MEID is empty and baseband is marked as "not found". Could this be related to the sluggishness and inability to complete a boot? Does anyone know how to gat a baseband and flash it to the phone? Or is it related to the physical BB IC?

Also, it's carrier is listed as TIMBR, I've already downloaded a TIMBR firmware but didn't try to flash it yet, could this be of any help? I tried flashing just the modem from this TIMBR firmware but it didn't do any good.

I also saw someone on the G4 Plus forum solve a similar issue (though his IMEI wasn't showing and mine is) by replacing the battery, and if I remember well (it has been 7 years since and my memory isn't very good) I had a similar problem with baseband (I think it was mobile signal not showing) in a Motorola Defy I had because of a faulty (or counterfeit, can't remember now) battery.
