Stock Recovery Issue

Everytime i try and flash the stock image in fastboot it fails when it gets to anything pertaining to the bootloader
FAILED (remote: Do not allow to flash Bootloader image on Unlock device)
My device is unlocked but to try and compat this i even try to re-lock the device which also fails:
FAILED (remote: oem lock back is forbidden)
Im stuck, i cant use the flashall because it fails, i cant individually flash files because the bootloader items fail,
im at a loss as to what to do.
Im able to flash a custom recovery but i cant do anything with it, except try and flash modem items with twrp which also did nothing.

brother, i am sorry for your condition , i dont have much knowledge on such things, but i once had MotoG, i used to flash Stock files with this method..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750
if you are flashing Stock files, then Bootloader need not to be stayed UNLOCKED..
hope you get any idea from there.. all the best

look in to this also :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...e-restore-moto-e-2015-stock-firmware-t3054303
this might give u anyidea

Did you have TWRP installed before you tried to flash stock Rom ? I'm guessing thats why its failing , but i dont know how to fix

maybe you're trying to flash older version of bootloader than the one you've already got? besides you don't need to flash bootloader to lash the rest, like system, modem or kernel

Okay so i know what my problem is i just dont know how to solve it:
I have a partially unlocked bootloader. is i do the fastboot oem device-info command, it tells me that my bootloader is unlocked but im unable to flash bootloader images (Device critical unlocked: false)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot oem device-info
(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
...
(bootloader) Device Secure boot: yes
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.080s]
finished. total time: 0.081s
Does anyone know how to get Device critical unlocked: true?

I stuck in the bootanimation and i cant flash a stock rom because there is no such thing. I found one, but this is no flashable zip. And the "flashall.bat" doesnt work. CM also doesnt work. I dont know what to do now.
Edit: Now i dont get into twrp recovery. With adb and with the hardware its not possible to enter twrp.

Did anyone found any solution? I am in same situation...

Found
flash only boot and system, not bootloader

finally while Flashing stock, i am stuck at Bootlogo looop
any suggestions??
i tried unrooting my RR 7.1.1 but with the zip provided , i think it failed..
any way to clean flash / freshly load stock again !!

if you have the stock rom just follow the trouble shooting guide at the start of this thread , should work

@nandakis4 Did you manage to solve your issue?
@itsjustbilly Why are you flashing the bootloader? It will fail if it's unlocked.
I'd want to go back to stock to start off fresh, but these are some discouraging stories.

Please confirm if you were able to revert to MM without losing your signal.
Edit: It crossed my mind just now. TWRP has the ability to backup the modem so surely you could use it if you were to have problems with the signal later? Provided you can access the recovery of course, but that doesn't seem to be a problem in most cases.

qcn backup
Hi here is qcn backup from working phone. To go to engeneering mode you have to press ####8899#. Smaller is from qfil tool, bigger is from qpst tool (software download). When I restored, I am back on internet 4G, can make or receive calls, BUT NO SOUND from speaker and MIC not working so. Any idea?

Do 2G and 3G work? My phone can detect 4G, but not 2G and 3G.
You've probably solved the sound issue by now, otherwise have a look at this thread.

Is my HTC 10 another Brick for the USA-MEX wall?

Hi Guys! I appreciate any help or orientation to find out how should I proceed,
I don't know why my phone just got Brick yesterday, it was running fine for two months since the last Room's flash, suddenly I notice an estrange behavior of the system, then the capacitive buttons were not responding nor its backlit appear when I touch them, the home button and the fingerprint and everything else was working fine, so I think that with a simple Reboot it will be back to normality. For my disgrace, it enter in a Bootloop in the HTC logo screen and for my surprise when I manage to get to the Bootloader and try to enter to the Download and Recovery mode get me to the same HTC logo Bootloop!!
The principal suspect for me is that like 15 days ago a installed the TotallyFreeVPN app to see some Japanese Netflix
To complicate the things I want to make my phone thefts proof, so I disable usb debugging and OEM unlocking and installed Cerberus with the option of block usb debugging and also in security I enable the encrypted data option for every reboot or when enter in recovery.
My only hope is that you know if something can be done from the Bootloader to unbricked?
I attach the only two screens I have access right now
HTC 10
Firmware 2.41.401.4
Leedroid V3.6.1

flash a stock ruu

If your phone will still power on, it's not bricked.

I wish I could, but I can´t enter in download mode, recovery or oem rebootRUU, all send me to the bootloop, after looking around I find this post that manage to solve a similar brick
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69874694&postcount=18
But in the last step when I put the micro sd card with the RUU file, nothing happens in my case, I thinks is because I didn't have USB debugging before the brick happen, but meaby the solution works for others.
I´ll keep trying
Thanks for any other ideas :good:

Grab the firmware.zip from @Sneakyghost Thread..ensure you take the one you were on

Yeah and use the full version, not the NoWipe...

I am wondering if you were able to solve it... I am having the same issue. Tried the same you tried (although as I am s-on I could only flash hosd like the guy on the other post) but no luck at all. The funniest thing is that I've never tocuhed this phone (no s-off, no unlock, no custom recovery, just updated via OTA to get Nougat), it just ran out of battery during the night and got the boot loop the morning after when I plugged it in to charge. Cant believe it could turn into a f''ing brick by itself.

Thank for your tips guys,
I follow exactly the order you suggest my good j to the 4n, and I download the firmware from your useful thread Sneakyghost, but still, I can not get it out of the Bootloop my friends
Dont you think my case is very strange?
If it serves for any other suggestion, I I add the following details
-The only image that is not flashing is rcdata, everything else is flashing OK
-I buy a microsd card class 10 of 32GB only to discard that the old microsd card of 3GB was not reading the RUU zip file.
-I optained the zip file, from the RUU.exe with the same version of the firmware 2.41.401.4 (the full version) and I copying it from the Temp files in Windows.
-With the microSD in FAT32 format I put the RUU zip file with the 2PS6IMG.zip name
-After flashing all the img files and rebooting to bootloader, then I inserted the card and select Download mode, where is supposed should appear the screen that jichuan89 mention to flash the RUU, but again nothing happen.
-Also I should say that I try also with the firmware and RUU version 2.41.617.3 (the corresponding for my model 2PS6500 in the back) but the last I have was the 2.41.401.4 with superCID and cidnum change it to HTC-001.
-And also among the hundreds of attempts I have executed fastboot erase userdata, erase cache, erase system, to try to clean any corrupt file.
Do you think there is any hope yet?
Once again thank you for your support guys!:good::good:

[HELP] Help with fastboot and RSD Lite

The phone doesn't show up in RSD Lite
But in my ADB ( $- Fastboot devices) it's showing up.
Can someone help me?
Downloaded and installed:
Device Manager
Moto USB Drivers
Moto Service (doesn't appear here too)
My brother give me this phone, and doesn't know the Gmail account he use (yeah i'm furious, he created a account just to "test" the phone, now i'm stuck in the google login screen because he wipes the phone in bootloader)

What are you attempting to do?
If you are trying to flash firmware you do it through fastboot
If you are trying to log into google just create and sign in with a different account
Commands to flash via fastboot once you have downloaded the firmware are
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
Note if you have more sparsechunks flash them as well in number order
If you want to play it safe and only really flash what should get the phone booting again just flash
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
Again if you have more sparsechunks flash them as well in number order

The firmware you are trying to flash is a lower version than what is installed - You must get firmware that is equal to or newer than the firmware on the device already else it will fail
eg you cant flash android 7.0 on a device that has a bootloader that is for 7.1
you will have to find the correct firmware for your device
note there is no harm trying the firmware because as you can see - if its wrong it will just fail the validation test and not flash

In the authorized warranty, they told me that they can not do any software repairs on the device until I remove the FRP, but as I said we do not know the account he used to "test" the device

I did this, but the APK and Share exploit's doesn't work anymore

do you mean there is a password on the device because you can bypass that easy
just goto twrp

system
click on each of the following files and delete
gatekeeper-password.key
gatekeeper-patten.key
locksettings.db-shm
locksettings.db-wal
other than that I can't help anymore

Hi,
Where I can download the last firmware for Moto G5 XT1676 ?

Moto E4 Qualcomm (Owens) completely back to stock

WARNING: if the gpt.bin flash did not work, please stop and do not continue with the rest of the commands. It has been brought to my attention that software upgrades to the phone has changed the gpt and may not allow you to go back to the original stock firmware.
For all of you who DID NOT do a System image backup in TWRP and then found out your backup doesn't work.
First get your stock firmware here, the only place to get Moto stock firmware!
https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto E4 Plus/Stock/
Then get fastboot. Google fastboot or grab the one from here: This one still works:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
If your fastboot directory isn't in your $PATH or you don't know how to do that, then copy fastboot into the same folder where you unzipped your stock firmware.
Got to the folder where you put everythig, open up a command or powershell prompt. Hold down shift, right click, "open command window here".
Now for the fun. You veterans can just look at the flashfile.xml to see the order. Those of you who are new, here are the commands you need to do. You could probably copy the entire thing and past it in your command window at one time. But I like to type it out.... line by line. You know, old school.
Commands:
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash gpt gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem hlos.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.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 system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
the command to erase ddr will probably fail, but that shouldn't affect anything. I have tested by bringing my Moto E4 Plus that was running Lineage OS back to 100% stock. Of course, then I went right back to Lineage

Outstanding. Thank you for the post. I'm sure this will get used quite a bit. I did do a backup but it's always nice to have contingencies at the ready.

I know this may sound like a stupid question, but which firmware package should I download and use for the Device purchased straight from Motorola? There are quite a few there and I don't want to flash the wrong one. This device was supposed too work on any US carrier and I would like to keep it that way, but my carrier is Verizon. All I had to do, when I got the device was install my Verizon Sim out of my Nexus 6 and it worked great. I do test for Cricket network too and that is a GSM radio so as I said, I would like it to have the firmware that would have come right from Motorola for this specific device. Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much. You sir are an awesome person.

I have another question and forgive me for being a pain but all steps went ok but at the end where the re-boot takes place it just keeps flashing back and forth from a black screen with "Bad Key" in the upper left corner and then to a screen with a colorful circle that says "erasing". I figured it was just doing a factory reset but it just keeps flashing back and forth between the 2 screens. Any idea what to try ? I tryed to boot to recovery and get the same thing. Thank you for any help.

Did you remember to do an fastboot OEM fb_mode_clear?

no I didn't do that. I will go back over your instructions and re-do it. Thank you again for your assistance. I usually don't bug people for help and try to fix things on my own so I really appreciate you help.

Actually that is the command input right before the reboot command so I guess I did do that command. I will research this more and thank you for your help once again.

I haven't had that problem. Have you scanned your PC for virus/malware?

I would like to relock my bootloader but on this firmware it says the boot is not signed. Can I relock it after I do the ota as they should be signed then right?

[GUIDE] Moto G5 Plus: Flashing Stock Firmware & Rooting [2021]

Flashing signed stock firmware:
You need:
Latest signed stock firmware:
Europe (RETEU):
lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.
lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai
mirrors-obs-2.lolinet.com
India (RETIN):
https://mirrors-obs-2.lolinet.com/f...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
US (RETUS):
https://mirrors-obs-2.lolinet.com/f...ubsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
All other firmwares and locations:
lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.
lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai
mirrors-obs-2.lolinet.com
Also:
flashallO.bat:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ne7Kps25heUO7wsJ0Z4_X43eKQYRegoa/view?usp=sharing
Motorola drivers (Device Manager - former LMSA):
Motorola Device Manager
Motorola Device Manager, free download for Windows. Program to transfer data between Motorola devices and computers, update software and backup files.
motorola-device-manager.en.lo4d.com
Tiny ADB & Fastboot v1.4.0 signed;
Tiny_ADB_&_Fastboot_v1.4.0-signed.exe | Tool by K3V1991 for Misc. Software & Hardware Resources
Download GApps, Roms, Kernels, Themes, Firmware, and more. Free file hosting for all Android developers.
androidfilehost.com
1) Download the 8.1.0_OPS28.85-17-6-2 firmware for your region (it's the last one for the Moto G5+ (potter), there won't be any updates anymore, so no risk of bootloader downgrading)
2) Install Tiny ADB & Fastboot (best place is the root directory of C: or wherever your OS resides).
3) Extract the firmware to that ADB & Fastboot folder.
4) Download my "flashallO.bat" and move it to that folder too.It removes the need for you to manually flash all partitions, just double-click it and it'll run all the commands for you.
5) Download and install Motorola device drivers.The program is called "Motorola Device Manager".
6) Reboot your phone to the bootloader. To do this, turn it off, then hold down the power and volume down buttons until you see a bugdroid undergoing open-heart surgery.
7) Connect the phone to your PC with your USB cable. Type
Code:
fastboot devices
to check if your device is connected. A serial number should be shown.
8) Run the flashallO.bat script. (Caution: This will wipe your device completely!) It will take some time to flash, just be patient and don't worry.
If the command window appears for a brief moment and then disappears, the device drivers may not be installed correctly. You can ask me in that case, there are some special drivers that may solve that.
9) Once the command window closes, it should have completed the flashing process and you are safe to press the power key on the phone to start Android. Just make sure that the text near the buttons reads "START".
That's it.
You can save your (internal) data when you open the flashallO.bat and delete the command
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
so that it will be omitted.
I won't recommend it but it's possible.
Rooting:
You need:
Magisk 24.1:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v24.1/Magisk-v24.1.apk
If you have problems with the newer Magisk builds (since v24) you may try
Magisk 23:
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v23.0
or
Magisk 20.4: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v20.4
TWRP 3.5.2_9-0:
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/potter/twrp-3.5.2_9-0-potter.img
Maybe you'll need:
Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip:
https://yadi.sk/d/HLr5vjnkA8gaqw
- Download TWRP from the above link and place it in your ADB & Fastboot folder.
- Download magisk.zip (and Magisk Manager APK if you use version 20.4) and place it in your internal storage.
- Turn the phone off again and reboot to bootloader using previously mentioned key combination.
- Navigate to the folder where you placed the TWRP image.
- Hold down the "shift" key and right-click anywhere in the Explorer window,it should give you an option to "Open command window here."
- Now input the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [filename].img
, where [filename] is the name of your TWRP image file. Tap Enter and it will take a few seconds to flash the new recovery.
- Alternatively, you can use "fastboot boot [filename].img" to temporarily boot TWRP for the purpose of flashing Magisk. This retains the stock recovery.
- Now that TWRP has been flashed, press the volume down key until you see the label on the side change to read "RECOVERY." At that point you can press the power button and you will boot right into TWRP.
- If you decide to decrypt your device:
In that case go to "Wipe" in TWRP and use "format data" (the option where you have to confirm with "yes"). Just wipe data is not enough!
- If you want your device to stay encrypted skip that step.
- Now press the "Install' button in TWRP and navigate to the location where the magisk.zip is located. Simply tap it and "Swipe to install."
- If you decided to decrypt your device normally magisk should take care that it doesn't get encrypted again.
Magisk only disables the enforced encryption flag, the device will still be encrypted and that's why a wipe of data is necessary to remove the encryption.
If that's not the case and you get problems to reboot flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip after magisk.zip.
More information about decryption/encryption:
https://didgeridoohan.com/magisk/Magisk#hn_Disabling_dm-verity_and_forced_encryption
- Reboot your device, if the Magisk Manager isn't installed already (it should) install the Magisk Manager APK.

Edit: Updated Links again.(1-2022)

My 3 year old Moto G5 Plus running android 8 suddenly restarted a few days ago and went into Start up failure. It no longer shows My product or IMEI number. It just shows potter 000000000000000 32GB P3B
Bootloader logs read " Start up failure. Your device didn't start up successfully. Use the Software Repair Assistant on computer to repair your device. Connect your device to your computer to get the Software Repair Assistant" written in red.
I have my IMEI and product numbers saved on my pc in a notepad file, but the LMSA software does not recognise my device to even try to rescue it. I want to retrieve files from my phone before attempting a factory reset.
On using the LMSA, it says "lmsa doesn't match appropriate firmware. you can try to select a firmware manually" but then it has no option to select anything manually. I have my phone previously registered on the software on my PC.
I have not rooted my phone, nor used anything other than stock android. My bootloader is locked. I cannot remember if I had Developer options selected or not, most probably not.
On trying to go to recovery mode it says the same message " Start up failure. Your device didn't start up successfully. Use the Software Repair Assistant on computer to repair your device. Connect your device to your computer to get the Software Repair Assistant"
When I connect the phone to the computer, it recognises it (I hear a notification sound) and under Devices it shows under Unrecognised as "Fastboot potter s"
I've never flashed my phone but would it be possible to recover the files in the internal storage of the phone by installing TWRP (in a non rooted, bootloader locked phone) without data loss?
How does it work?
Please help! I really need to recover my photos and notepad notes. Is there any way? Any software?
Is there any way to flash stock ROM without losing data? I haven't attempted anything in the off chance that there is a way to recover internal storage data. It's absolutely essential to me. I don't care about the phone, I'm gonna replace it anyway.
If I can even switch on the phone for long enough to backup data from the phone, it will be enough.
I read in another thread that downgrading a Moto with a locked bootloader will hard brick the device. This thread. My bootloader/oem is locked. I've attached a screenshot from when I once connected my phone to LMSA a few weeks before it crashed, it showed my current version I was running at the time. I never got around to taking a backup of the phone, then.
These are the screens I get. I try to charge the phone in fastboot every day to keep it from dying completely.
I'm desperate.

Also Lolinet seems to be down. I tried to download RETIN firmware from the link you provided, but I only get
404 Not Found
nginx
What to do now?
I downloaded the firmware from Motorola Stock Room. Will that do?

I also recognised that lolinet.mirrors has some problems but it seems it's been working on it (see attached screenshot).
The firmware from Motorola Stock ROM should work, it's the same build and also the last firmware for the Moto G5+ so no risk of bootloader downgrading.
Let me know if you were successful.

Edit: No way to save your data from an unroofed device with locked bootloader, I'm sorry.
You can omit the "fastboot erase userdata" command (see above thread) to save your internal storage when flashing the firmware but as you have problems with your device a complete clean start may be the only solution. But you can give it a try.

I will follow your instructions on this post.
The download from the Motorola stock room has adb, flashboot and everything else (including a .bat file) in its folder.
How can I use your .bat file (from the link you provided) instead of the one from Motorola Stock Room?
Also I want to preserve the internal storage, so I can erase the fastboot erase userdata command. But how do I open the .bat file? There is no open with option.

Also since I'm missing my IMEI and SKU, should I keep the erase modemst1 and fastboot erase modemst2 commands in the file?

Delete the fastboot erase userdata line and save it as .bat file (if your notepad has no option to save it as .bat save it as .txt and change the ending from .txt to .bat by hand).
And deactivate your Windows Defender when doing that and also when using the .bat file.

Delete the fastboot erase userdata line and save it as .bat file (if your notepad has no option to save it as .bat save it as .txt and change the ending from .txt to .bat by hand).
And deactivate your Windows Defender when doing that and also when using the .bat file.

So let me just recheck the steps.
1. Downloaded the firmware from Motorola Stock Room
2. Downloaded and installed Mini Adb.
3. Extracted the firmware to the same folder as the mini adb
4. Deleted the .bat file already present in the extracted firmware folder from MSR. Replaced that with the .bat file you have provided.
5. Erase userdata command removed.
6. Run the .bat file.
7. Wait for flashing to complete
Yes?

I also recognised that lolinet.mirrors has some problems but it seems it's been working on it (see attached screenshot).
The firmware from Motorola Stock ROM should work, it's the same build and also the last firmware for the Moto G5+ so no risk of bootloader downgrading.
Let me know if you were successful.

I will follow your instructions on this post.
The download from the Motorola stock room has adb, flashboot and everything else (including a .bat file) in its folder.

How can I use your .bat file (from the link you provided) instead of the one from Motorola Stock Room?

Sounds ok. The bat file has to be copied into the ADB & Fastboot folder (mini ADB) too.
Deactivate Defender and start the bat file.
Be patient.
And collect as many data from the flashing process as possible (screenshots etc.)

Well. I wasn't able to get many screenshots, it happened too quickly. But the phone is still stuck on fastboot, but this time the fastboot reason is given as: Last time flashing failed.
Oh well. I'll try again without removing the flashboot erase userdata?

Seems your device has problems to erase partitions before flashing new stuff to them. Maybe search for blankflash files.

Where to find the blankflash file?

Hello. I have a rooted Moto G5 Plus (Magisk) and I have also installed a Custom ROM with TWRP. I want to unroot the device and return it to absolute stock. Will this guide work in that case? If no, can anyone direct me to the correct guide?

The above guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-moto-g5-plus-flashing-stock-firmware-rooting-2021.4205293/ should be helpful for you. Flashing the latest signed stock firmware as described in the first part will take you to absolute stock.
A few points to take care of:
- Make sure that you chose the correct firmware for your location.
- Don´t delete the fastboot erase userdata command from the flashallO.bat so that it will be omitted because some parts of Magisk or other root apps may reside at that location.
- You have to erase everything to be on the safe side.
- So save your internal userdata like pictures, documents, music etc. to a PC or a SD card before you start the
process!
- Flashing stock will overwrite the recovery.img (TWRP) and the boot.img (Magisk) so you don´t have to unroot or reflash stock recovery.
If you want to relock your bootloader too (remember that you won´t get to the "nerver unlocked" state again, the device will flag the bootloader as "has been unlocked" even when you lock it):
-After flashing stock firmware open a command prompt in the ADB & Fastboot folder again and give the following commands one by one or use the attached relockO.bat file. the same way you did it with the flashallO.bat:
relockO.bat:
relockO.bat
drive.google.com
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 system system.img_sparsechunk.5
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot oem lock
You can do that anytime, it hasn´t to be right after the firmware flash.

I flashed the ROM today and everything went well, except the IMEI is 0 and I cannot use VoLTE. What can I do?

Have you ever flashed someone else's persist file?

No I have not. Only the PixelExp zip and now, the stock rom.
Anyways, after panicking a bit yesterday, I flashed the custom rom again and my IMEI and LTE returned, but I cannot place/receive calls. What can be done if I wanted to stay on the ROM but gain calling capabilities?
EDIT: I'd prefer to have everything working on the stock ROM if possible.
