I'm guessing the problem was that it says

fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot erase carrier
I'm thinking my IMEI was somewhere there and then when i used that it got deleted...
The funny thing is, i know my IMEI is gone, but why in the world does my phone still has LTE reception and i can make calls and everything like normal? My carrier is Mint Sim and the model is XT1635-02 TYPE MID64
Does it means my IMEI is still somewhere? If so, how can i retrieve it?
EDIT: Guide i followed
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/how-to/guide-one-touch-one-rom-relock-t3744196

Because some carriers do not care about IMEI, only IMSI on the SIM. IMEI is identifying phone, IMSI your subscription.

Also the IMEI i can see when i use fastboot getvar IMEI, so its obviously there somewhere.

Try to reflash with RSD lite to latest nougat rom.

iff you do manage to get back to stocl for future refrence there is a tool on this forum somewhere which can backup up the efs partition to your sd card in case you have this problem again.

Same problem here... Dunno what to do...

Just as downgrading from N to MM causes problems, I expect we will see problems in any downgrade from a soak or OTA Oreo downgrade to N. Basically don't do it.

Hello friends I have stock 7.1.1 fo mzp got from local service station it's around 3 GB data there
So how can I flash it and relock bootloader ? Is it possible ?
Yes. Just flash your official FW, go to fastboot in your phone, go to FW folder with ADB and run this step by step:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
set -e
# Block 1
fastboot getvar securestate #securestate: flashing_unlocked
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size #268435456
fastboot oem fb_mode_set

Just look how many system.img_sparsechunk are in your FW.
Please - upload your FW - I`ll write manual for it )
Here are original manual (Russian)
You mean you got an official, signed image from Motorola? How do you get it?
What software channel is it?
Can you upload it?
Thanks!
Please share with us.. It will help a lot of members here with their phone.

Phone cannot use Wifi or Mobile Data

I flashed stock firmware onto my phone (the last file on https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto Z2 Force/Stock/XT1789-04/) to unbrick my phone using this batch file:
echo off
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 bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.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_b system_b.img_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash system_b system_b.img_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash oem oem.img
fastboot erase carrier
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
pause
fastboot reboot
exit
I was able to successfully boot up the phone but the wifi and mobile data does not work. I cannot turn on the wifi and it does not give me the option to turn on mobile data even when my sim card is inserted. Any ideas on how to fix this would help.
Additional info: It was previously bricked because I deleted app_process32 from system/bin. It worked fine until I also uninstalled systemless xposed. I tried to flash Lineage OS but that just removed TWRP and still put me in a bootloop so then I did what I described above.
I remember the post where you said you had deleted that file, I believe you said you were on TMO. If so, flash this one, it newer than the oreo you flashed. Most likely the downgrade that is causing your problems.
Do a factory reset from stock recovery

Retail Rom and IMEI lost

Is there any risk of lose the IMEI while flashing a retail ROM instead of a carrier-brand one?
Only one way to find out is to try it.. If it does, I'm sure if reflash a branded one, you would get it back..
Try skipping the modem firmware i.e NOH-HLOS , fsg , erase modemst1 and modemst2. And flash boot , recovery and system_sparsechunks. I have not personally tried this (bcoz already on retail rom) but may work as reported in Moto Z2 Play forum

Only if you downgrade with flashall.
Use this instead:
echo off
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash logo logo.bin

It's probably due to downgrading, have you tried reflashing current stock? 9.0

I'm almost out of ideas, if this doesn't work you'll need newer firmware or an update
Adb shell
Chmod 0000 /persist/rfs/msm/mpss/datablock/id_00
Reboot the phone back into fastboot.
Now flash each command
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
Now reboot your phone.

Is there a solution to this "no IMEI & Unknown Baseband" tragedy that does not involve flashing the hole firmware?

Right after I posted this thread I found my solution... The script I yoinked from the Android 8 ROM was missing one sparsechunk, got it working again now.
Will never do that again.

I recommend creating your own .bat file from the flash_file.xml
Use a batch file for easier flashing
