Hi, because you should not flash bootloader.
you can try those 2 solutions:
the fast one, it should work. The flashall command flash every.img files he find in the fastboot directory. So try to remove the bootlader.img and execute the flashall command.
the manual one (longer one):
Put only the recovery.img, boot.img, and the system.img files ( you should have something like 13 , named "systemchunk0/12.img") in your fastboot directory and flash with fastboot ( the command is always the same: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, fastboot flash boot boot.img, and for every single part of system.img you should flash like "fastboot flash systemchunk0(until 12).img " so you flash flash 13 times the system with avery 13 parts .
Sorry for my english i hope you solved that

I did try this, but I still have no signal because the modem file is part of the bootloader, and no modem means no mobile signal

Ah ok i didnt understand that you have this modem issue. I don't kno how to help you...you phone is bricked so you can test few solutions without more risks .
before flash the original recovery , boot and system by fastboot, you can try to install TWRP again and flash only the bootloader from TWRP (should support .zip and .img files). Then you turn the phone in fastboot mode and flash other stuff .

Q: I messed up help me?!
So you screwed up and didn't follow Rule Number One in the IT-Handbook?
Which is: Always create a backup before working on a system?
Download the Factory State Images. Which are all flashable with fastboot: https://goo.gl/JTCwKj
Place the files you want replaced into the "Minimal ADB & Fastboot" installation directory and start it's shell:
If you want to flash back the stock image. Simply run:
Code:
Code:
fastboot flashall
You can also replace all partitions if required.

Thanks, I was on P2a42_S038...TMO (T-Mobile, checking OTA update = you are using latest software) flashed this P2a42_S048_ and got OTA info to download latest ROM P2a42_S062_170117_ROW (103MB) :good:

Is there an alternative download link? What is Mega? I want to avoid these third party download utility if I can...
I put the following into a BAT file and placed it into ADB / Fastboot directory:
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt_both0.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin

fastboot flash system systemchunk8.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk9.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk10.img
fastboot flash system systemchunk11.img

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
pause
Extract all the files listed in the BAT file or simply extract the entire archive to ADB / Fastboot and launch the BAT file.
Does this work?? @Undesirable
the above post
Oh yeah, it unbricked me and put me back to stock so I could get OTA updates for Nougat. You need the archive posted earlier in the thread though.
@Undesirable Nice and elegant solution man! Typing all this stuff was so annoying.
For those who need an alternative download source, I offer this magnet link:
Code:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:ef05ea3af4da8a0cbb137c10621942f3ae16d46f&dn=P2a42_S048_161111_ROW_fastboot.7z
It's slow unless lots of people help to seed it.
Is it possible to flash this firmware 2a42_S048_161111_ROW_fastboot.7z on the P2c72 with firmware build number: V3.5_1652_5.1342.1_ST_p2c72 ???
I bought this phone 4GB Ram/64GB from china, but I want to put the international firmware on it.
Thanks!

how can I replace my data partition? It's not getting formatted due to an encryption error
If fastboot erase userdata doesn't work, then use TWRP to change user data file system to EXT4 then change it back to F2FS again.
Need help...
I flashed back the stock ROM (due to encryption error in custom 7.0 ROM) using fastboot commands, but my SIGNAL WON'T WORK after I started d phone . I've tried reflashing the stock firmware (and also custom ROMs) but my phone won't detect the signal. "About phone" settings show unknown baseband and IMEI... how to get it back
---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------
I've flashed 'ROW' variant of stock ROM. Is there a different version for Indian variant?
I decided to write a new topic on this matter because there are still a lot of people like me with this problem.
My IMEI is shown as 0.
I've bought my phone at FastShop a non-carrier retailer. It is a XT1635-02 RETBR Dual-Sim.
On the process of loosing my IMEI, I was trying to get rid of the root I've installed before. I flashed a Cyanogen, got some problems with mobile data and decided to flash back to stock. When flashing back to stock I wanted a clean install, so I erased everything (EFS partition and every other tickable option) with the Chinese TWRP, the process gave me an error but I think it corrupted the data on EFS. (On the process of trying to fix this I've learned a lot of things I didn't knew and now I realize the kind of mistake I made...)
On "fastboot getvar imei" I can see my correct IMEI.
But dialing *#*#4636#*#* on phone info my IMEI is 0, also on Config>About both IMEI shown 0.
I've tried flashing the full stock ROM many times, even tried flashing different ROMS like LATAM, IUSMXLA, and others. Now I'm with the correct ROM running (RETBR).
I know that there are many people suffering from the same problem anything that could fix that anyway I would try.
I think you lost your IMEI forever.
DO NOT USE Chinese TWRP.
So basically all these reports of people getting their imei being 0 is them actually just wiping efs out of carelessness, got it. Not to be a jack*** but seriously...I always double check what I'm erasing. There's no recoveries, you've erased a unique identifier to the hardware. The manufacturer doesn't keep track of this.

That's my impression. I haven't seen anyone report categorically that they lost imei but absolutely did not wipe efs.
I think that when a signed firmware be available to download and install, the MZP will be able to regenerate the IMEI. Snapdragon have the capabilities to do it, but with an untrusted firmware, must "hide" it.
It is easy to get the IMEI back. Just restore the backup you did before wipe. Noone except you has the data on efs partition.

This would require that people don't jump the gun and flash/wipe before making a backup.
A problem that shouldn't exist, but does.
I think you're SOL, dude.

SUMMARY
1. Reflashed back to stock Marshmallow
2. Sideloaded Nougat OTA right after (that is before booting into the freshly restored system)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My IMEI became zero after trying to implement on Lineage OS a dual SIM mod originally intended for the stock ROM. "fastboot getvar imei" also displayed my correct IMEI. I eventually solved the issue purely out of trial by flashing the full stock (Marshmallow), and the nougat OTA right after that, as follows:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-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 (repeat up to 10)
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot recovery
*recovery > adb sideload*
adb sideload nougat_ota.zip
WARNING
For downgrading, skip:
********************************
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
*******************************************
Proceeding otherwise will brick the device.
Just to clarify, I didn't made any backup before wiping my EFS.
I'm not used to go wiping everything, but I've already used the wipe function of the TWRP ticking all buttons and nothing was messed up.
Later I found that the Chinese TWRP give us the option to wipe our EFS.
I'm not blaming anyone but myself, I'm not that careless most of the times, I didn't had much knowledge as I do have now after all I've read and tried.
I have seen trough last months many people with problems on their IMEI, some problems was solved (flashing the ROM again), but the ones that continues looking for a solution probably have the same backstory as me.

I'll surely try that since you had the same problem and fixed, I have nothing to loose.
But I already flashed the stock ROM and updated to Nougat, but since I didn't actually sideloaded it I'll try again when I get home.
I m cool with it
as long as phone function is working
no data, coz data plan not activate
Welcome to the club. I wiped my /efs, lost my IMEI and had to pay £120 for a motherboard replacement. Now I've got a backup for my /efs partition, and never use the Chinese TWRP, but I learned an expensive lesson.

Tambien me he cansado de buscar, pero he visto un caso similar con un OnePlus One, el mismo tenia el problema IMEI 0 y lo soluciono por medio de la PC y unos driver, el titulo del post "REPARAR EL IMEI de nuestro ONEPLUS ONE tras perder el EFS" sin backup! link: forums .oneplus .net/threads/tutorial-reparar-el-imei-de-nuestro-oneplus-one-tras-perder-el-efs.264420/
chequealo
yeah. that was the only time i used it.
I was running my phone as a gaming tablet since I've lost my IMEI, connecting only trough wi-fi. I was running android MM 6.0.1 with december patch.
I've tried flashing Stock ROM RETBR version MPSN24.104-44-7, but it was not allowing me to install the OTAs giving an error by the end of the procedure.
I cleaned the system again and flashed the Stock ROM RETBR version MPSN24.104-44-10 and was able to sideload all the OTAs without any error.
Now my MZP is on Nougat latest available version but my problem was no fixed as I tought.
I really don't think I or the other ones that lost their IMEI like me (wiping EFS without having a backup) will be able to restore our lost IMEI.
I'm giving one last try, I'll buy a SIM from a brazilian carrier that doesn't seems to block IMEI, I don't know if this only apply for blacklisted IMEI's, but I'll try it with my IMEI 0.
The said carrier is "Oi".
I think you can pay Lenovo to replace the motherboard. You're probably better off doing that IMO.

The only problem is that the replacement of the motherboard cost almost the same as a brand new phone here on Brazil.
I thought I'd bricked mine. Rooted, then attempted to reflash back to stock, and had IMEI 0. Flashed CM and still IMEI 0. Did not take a backup of anything because I've been rooting around inside Androids since 2009 and never managed to fully brick a device.
I got it back by following these instructions. It works. I'm using it right now. All may not be lost.
Critically: some things need fastboot, and some things need mfastboot. Also, the order of re-flashing matters. Read the thread.
Hello all,
I'm a bit confused about the process of taking my current '3' ROM and changing it to the official Lenovo Rom.
I have downloaded the lenovo drivers (installed and ok) phone is in debug mode.
I have downloaded the stock rom from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/7-0-lenovo-p2a42-stock-nougat-update-t3581517 and have adb / fastboot.
I know I have to use the volume rocker and powerbutton to get into the boot mode but I don't know the commands for adb or fastboot. I have changed the name of the rom to 'update'
Can someone please advise me on the commands I am meant to enter to get this onto my phone please?
Thanks in advance,
Cue
Copy all the code below, paste it to a new text file on your PC and save it as All Files instead of .txt and name it a fastboot.bat. Place the fastboot.bat in the adb/fastboot directory, also place the unpacked rom in the same path. Run it as admin. Profit.
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt_both0.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin

Hi, op here.
Firstly, thank you for responding! Your instructions seem very clear. When i had a look at the contents of the ROM (in zip) i couldn't see any of the systemchunk files you mention, are they hidden deep somewhere?
Regards,
Cue.
If your phone is stock the Rom can be updated without fastboot or a PC.
All the instructions are in that thread.
Huh. Surely just boot into recovery and install the update.zip? No need to have it connected to pc.
Hello all,
Yep. I un-encrypted the sd card copied the zip onto it and booted up that way. Very easy. Now running stock directly from Lenovo which I am very happy about! It also pushed the new 78mb update as well.
Thank you for all your input.
same way i did it too theirs no need to do it through fastboot method just like the other people i did it through the built in recovery by renaming the Nougat rom to update.zip works fine and you will get another update ota straight after t obring it right up to date.
Sounds like you guys have this sorted :highfive:
Just for completeness, can somebody upload the original 3 rom? It just helps out the person who thinks they have a hardware issue and may need to return the phone to 3.
If you try and return your phone and it doesn't have the original 3 rom, your chances of a good outcome are obviously less as you have tampered with the phone etc.
The warranty is with Lenovo Not three.
Doubt there'd be an issue as the bootloader will still be locked and it's an official Lenovo Firmware.
Since flashing nougat and a factory wipe my VOLTE is now working.
I did the same flashed nougat and volte is working but only shows up some times not as much as I'd like is their any way to get volte to work more often. In my bedroom where the signal is weak I don't get the volte symbol at all.

How you enabled VoLte on nougat? You are on stock rom or branded?
I'm on stock unbranded.
VOLTE settings now show up in phone menu and it just works. I had to factory reset though as initially it didn't work after flashing nougat.
I have an xt1710-01 which I am trying to return to stock ROM after trying out Lineage. Did not create a backup of EFS partition because I am an idiot. On Lineage, my IMEI appears just fine and I get cell service, though it isn't super great if I'm being honest. When I attempt to reflash stock, my IMEI shows as 0. Is it possible for me to still return my phone to stock ROM? I have tried manual fastboot method as well as a script called RSD Lite to no avail.

Yes and no. I was able to get a backup of the EFS partition from the LineageOS 15.1 ROM, which does restore cell service. However, it does not provide 4G LTE. I can get LTE on LineageOS, but when I reflash stock and then restore the EFS partition, it only gets me 3G connectivity. So far, the only way that I have been able to get LTE is to flash LineageOS, then run this:
Code:
fastboot erase modemst1 && fastboot erase modemst2
Apparently, those are cache files for something that has an effect on connectivity, though I don't know specifically what. Unfortunately, I must remain on LineageOS in order to keep the LTE. If I try erasing the modem caches on stock, it wipes all connectivity and returns me to IMEI 0. Downsides to this are bluetooth calls don't work at all, GPS navigation doesn't work, absolutely no torch (even with a third party app) and battery life is poo.
I am still looking in to this, including compiling my own ROM from source. Really, this whole ordeal has taught me two very important things:
1) Always make a complete backup of everything.2) Don't buy a phone that has no developer support on XDA. Honestly, this is the biggest one right here. Its revolting how little support there is for this device.I will update this thread as I get new information on potential fixes.
Thank you compostkicker ..would apprentice if you post the solution if you find one..I am also going through a ditto condition

I'm facing the same here. My problems started after the "erase modemst" command. After that I never was able to use my LTE connection again. I was able to use at least a H+ connection after I flashed a stock rom WITHOUT wiping nor formating data from a Lineage install. But, still no LTE. =/
I'm afraid this is caused by wrong modem driver w/ the downloaded stock rom. Don't know if there's a different driver for the Brazillian device.

1) Always make a complete backup of everything.2) Don't buy a phone that has no developer support on XDA. Honestly, this is the biggest one right here. Its revolting how little support there is for this device.I will update this thread as I get new information on potential fixes.

YEEEEEEESSS I FIXED IT!!! HAHAHAHAHA
I followed what you said installing Lineage OS and did the "erase modemst" command. After that, I formated data using TWRP and flashed a stock rom but I skipped "erase modemst" command. And now my LTE is working on the stock rom. OMG!!!! \o/
So...
1. Flash Lineage OS 15.1
2. Restart in Bootloader and run the fastboot code [fastboot erase modemst1 && fastboot erase modemst2]
3. Restart the system.
4. Restart and use TWRP to FORMAT data.
5. Flash the stock rom using Fastboot and the following commands:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot reboot
DON'T RUN THE MODEM ERASE CODE AGAIN!!!
This steps will fix the issue!

Sorry to leave you hanging, I stopped getting alerts on this thread for some reason. I am on shift until tomorrow and away from my computer, and it is a lot to type for a phone, but as soon as I am able I will type out the exact steps I used to fix the LTE issue, for both LineageOS and stock ROM.

I would like to pass from ZUI (on xt1710-08) to a retail one without flashing Lineage before. So, if the problem is about modem i should not erase them, so I would leave those present on the initial version unchanged
So, my situation is : signal is ok lte\4g bit IMEI is 0. I think i understand i must flash stock lineage rom with this commands, then backup efs (i've already had It), so flash stock nougat and restore efs and i should have IMEI. Is It correct?

Hey, I just flashed 9 on my XT1710-8 and lost singal. do you think this trick works in my case? (havent tried yet cause didnt want to format my device!)
CompostKicker said:
I have an xt1710-01 which I am trying to return to stock ROM after trying out Lineage. Did not create a backup of EFS partition because I am an idiot. On Lineage, my IMEI appears just fine and I get cell service, though it isn't super great if I'm being honest. When I attempt to reflash stock, my IMEI shows as 0. Is it possible for me to still return my phone to stock ROM? I have tried manual fastboot method as well as a script called RSD Lite to no avail.

I can't guarantee you can fix it using my step-by-step because I did it for the XT1710-07 model. Maybe you'll have to adapt the solution to yours.

I fixed it by flashing the original -08's Oreo ROM (Chinese ROM) and then reflashing Pie without doing the "erase modemst1.." steps.

The rom which came with your device is called stock rom. You can find it here
https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/foru...l-stock-moto-g5-cedric-firmware-t3733897/amp/
You can flash the old rom but you should not flash gpt and bootloader. If you flash bootloader and gpt your device will get hard bricked. So I suggest you to don't flash gpt and bootloader if you're having old stock rom. If you having latest stock rom then you can flash bootloader and gpt.

When you flash stock rom there is possibility of losing imei. So take a backup of efs, if it efs didn't work then there a forum about how to recover imei with 4g. Wait for few minutes I send the link of the thread

Ok I flashed the original stock ROM and I ended up getting 0 IMEI and no network. I followed your guide :
It seem like many of are not getting imei after doing this also.let me explain you in a clear way
Step1:-run on a custom rom such as lineage,aosp...
(Note:-if you have 4g/LTE in custom rom then skip step2)
Step2:-turn off your phone and get into bootloader and run the following commands
Fastboot erase modemst1
Fastboot erase modemst2
Step3:-make a back up of efs in Twrp 64x bits(save the efs in external memory so it will not get erased) and erase data,cache only
Step4:-now flash 32xbits Twrp then
Step5:-flash stock rom using following commands
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.o
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 modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
fastboot reboot
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Step6:-now reboot your phone
Step7:-you will get the Imei and 4g/LTE
Step8:-don't use OTA, use adb you can download updates from here
https://drive.google.com/drive/mobil...Py?usp=sharing
Step9:-reboot to stock recovery and select apply update from adb
Step10:-run the following command to apply update
Adb sideload filename.zip
Step11:-In may security patch you may lose imei
Step12:-now install Twrp 64x bits and restore efs from it which you have make it before
Step13:-reboot your device.done
Now you will get the Imei,4g/LTE and latest update.
Let me know if it works for you.

This didn't work though, I have been messing around and finally got IMEI and 3G back again by reinstalling pixel experience ROM. But 4G doesn't even come up anymore when I select it in the Android network option, It just stays 3G when i select 4G, before it would say 4G with a X through it at the top of the home screen.
I have some questions, why do you need to flash 32bit TWRP because after you use the commands to flash stock it wipes thw TWRP anyway? also where can I get the 32bit as I can only find 64bit version.
Is that the reason why I got 0 IMEI because I didn't use 32 bit TWRP?
Finger print and loud speaker is now working but I REALLY need 4G back, please tell me how I can accomplish this?
I backed up my EFS AFTER I used the following commands:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
But all that did was remove my IMEI.
I am lost how to get 4G back
Restoring EFS does nothing....

Now your in which rom stock or custom??? If you're on custom rom just use this command's
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
If you are in stock you need to go back to custom check if 4g is there if not use the above command and then come to stock without using this codes
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
And gpt, bootloader.

Before and it wiped my IMEI.
What do you mean "and gpt, bootloader" they need flashing too? for which ROM? I am so confused.
Why is 32bits TWRP needed?
I tried stock rom and the oreo rom and both gave me 0 IMEI but I am not sure what I did to get it working on pixel, I flashed pixel in TWRP and booted the phone and the IMEI and 3G was working again, but no 4G.

I am on Pixel rom with 3G only, no 4G, I just used those commands and rebooted the phone, it wiped my IMEI and gave me no signal..... so that doesn't work....
I then had to install stock rom again (without the above codes and gpt/bootloader it didn't give me imei stilI) So I wipe data, reinstall pixel custom rom and still no imei or 3g, I then installed Oreo soak test with all the commands (including fastboot erase modemst1/2 and gpt/bootloader) then flash pixel again to get my 3g back... I think I am doomed and 4g doesn't work anymore, many people are saying the same thing. Even on this guys video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmKg84IXEbo
I also can't restore my EFS file as when I try to it says some error about a partition?
Apprently the only way to fix it is install official android 8.0 that guy said? is this true?

Not sure, I did use 32bit twrp for something I can't remember what though, it wasn't stock rom as I used the commands to flash stock rom.
Also tried this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/how-to/how-to-recovery-4g-moto-g5-t3787208
But that didn't work either, using the erase modem commands just wipes my IMEI. I tried this on Pixel rom though not the DotOS, surely that doesn't make any difference?
