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.

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

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?

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.

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
fastboot flash system systemchunk0.img

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.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 wanted to know that is there any way to get rid of that ZUI interface in china retail model of the z2play? by flashing a stock international firmware? I'm planning to buy one from china but it's coming with lenovo's ZUI interface...

I am not an expert in this area, but just wanted to share a method that worked for me to convert ROM of XT1710-08 China variant phone (with Android 7.1.1 ZUI interface) to Oreo 8.0.0 US retail version
Basically I followed the instructions from below thread with some changes.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/how-to/how-to-manually-update-moto-z2p-to-t3677357
I had already unlocked bootloader and not sure if that was really needed for this. (Make sure you have USB drivers and latest adb/fastboot utilities and verify fastboot is working with the phone)
1. Using fastboot, flashed the 8.0.0 Chinese ROM from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/albus_retcn/official/RETCN/
Please note, system.img and oem.img may be split into multiple files, so update the .bat file accordingly.
2. next, flashed the US retail version from https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/albus/official/RETAIL/
Here I skipped the modem related images (NON-HLOS.bin ,fsg.mbn , dsp adspso.bin , and did not erase modemst1 and modemst2) - see below commands from the bat file.

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....
Thanks

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.

I am on pixel again, if I go back to stock it gives me 0 IMEI, and I don't want to risk it as I don't have the internet at home right now I am tethered via my phone. I did these commands
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
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?

if you ever played with your persist, its not fixing those persist who flashed other device persist to gain IMEI and VoLTE, safe for those who never played with their persist and for those who are having baseband with ending with capital R. Direct flashing via fastboot ending with no signals and also not imei if dont skip erase modemst1
erase modemst2.
Guide for those who are not on their own persist but with another persist able to use Signals with volte and using any custom or nougat or twrp rom
first take backup of your current working efs and persist on sd card or otg
Thn flash above rom via fastboot, dont skip anything, reboot system thn again go in fastboot menu
Flash twrp, thn in twrp only flash only FIRMWARE from SOAK Test 1 Aroma by @NZedPred ( https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262903990826 ), Thanks @NZedPred for his great work, now restore your efs and persist, roboot system.
If you want to lock bootloader thn follow these commands in fastboot
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem lock
fastboot flash oem oem.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot oem lock
All of these worked for me as I was also not on my own persist.
everything working fine CAMERA, VOLTE, WIFI, FINGERPRINT, locked bootloader and unlocked also again with my key tht provided by moto, battery also charging faster, battery backup is also good.
Hey, will this work for hard bricked users? I've been using twrp flashable nougat stock ROMs since last year! Can't get back to full stock so!

After upgrading to oreo, download the Oreo flashable zip (Aroma) of SOAK1 and install only the firmware. And restore your efs after this step.
My phone is working perfectly with this, no network issues.

Yes, see page 3 of following post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-force/how-to/verizon-update-t3952591/page3
Copying Hibinoh's work here for simplicity (not my work; this is a copy of the post of the person above):
Since someone asked Sprint, to get 9.0 on your sprint, following the steps:
1, get RETIN 9.0(XT1789-06_NASH_RETIN_9.0_PPX29.159-19_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip), and the latest Sprint 8.0(XT1789-03_NASH_SPRINT_8.0.0_OCXS27.109-48-20_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip)
2, unzip both ROM, find a copy of mfastboot, a copy of TWRP(use nash's TWRP)
3, copy the boot.img from RETIN 9.0 to your phone's sdcard
4, wipe your phone(data + cache)
5, use mfastboot flash following files from RETIN 9.0:
Code:
Code:
mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
mfastboot flash system_b system_other.img
mfastboot flash oem oem.img
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
6, use mfastboot flash following files from Sprint 8.0(!!!BECAREFUL, DO NOT FLASHED FOLLOWING FILES FROM 9.0!!!):
Code:
mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin
mfastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear
7, boot into TWRP
Code:
mfastboot boot YOUR_TWRP_FILE_PATH
8, use TWRP to flash the boot.img(step 3) to 'boot'
9, reboot
Well, I am happy on 9.0, but not happy to lost google pay(yea I know there is magisk hide)

I have done this twice and it's not working i followed all the steps one by one
I'm guessing the answer is no, but, has anybody tried this with the EU version for T-Mobile or ATT? Or Verizon version, even?
I'm tempted to try, but fairly certain it won't work.
worked like a charm, I had to factory reset after flashing the boot in TWRP though

A) You did this on a US Sprint phone, right?
B) Did you do the factory reset via TWRP, through the bootloader/Recovery Mode, or through the OS?

Yes I did, a Sprint variant, on boost Mobile.
The easiest way for me, if it helps, was to unzip the two firmware files and place the necessary files from each in a separate folder.
In twrp wipe dalvik cache and data.
Reboot to bootloader
Then flash them in the order above, but all in one go.
Boot twrp, flash boot image in twrp
Factory reset in twrp
Reboot to bootloader
Flash modem again
Reboot
I did find that no matter what I can't get twrp to stick or any recovery. It always reboots to fastboot
So you have to use the volume keys to press start

Yes I did, a Sprint variant, on boost Mobile.
The easiest way for me, if it helps, was to unzip the two firmware files and place the necessary files from each in a separate folder.
In twrp wipe dalvik cache and data.
Reboot to bootloader
Then flash them in the order above, but all in one go.
Boot twrp, flash boot image in twrp
Factory reset in twrp
Reboot to bootloader
Flash modem again
Reboot
I did find that no matter what I can't get twrp to stick or any recovery. It always reboots to fastboot
So you have to use the volume keys to press start

So it sounds like you added two extra steps to the original instructions above:
1) Factory reset in TWRP after flashing boot image in TWRP
2) As a last step, rebooting to bootloader one more time and issuing the command
Code:
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
(where NON-HLOS.bin comes from the Sprint image, not the Pie image, just as when it was flashed the first time).
Correct?

Yes
So I've tried the above instructions on a Sprint Z2 Force. The first time, I got into an instant bootloop. So I went through the entire procedure again, and this time, I get to about 1 minute past when the Moto M is spinning around, to where the Lenovo color blocks are supposed to appear, and the screen goes black with occasional flashes on. Eventually, it just boot loops again.
Hmmm...
I do realize that I am using for the Sprint firmware (from which a few files come):
NASH_SPRINT_OCXS27.109_48_17_subsidy_DEFAULT_regulatory_DEFAULT_CFC.xml
This is a nominally different than the xml file the OP mentioned:
NASH_SPRINT_OCXS27.109-48-20_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
Unfortunately, I can't find a working link to the latter...I wonder if that could be the issue? Anyone have a working link for the 48-20 version?

I used the -20 version from here

So I managed to get Pie up and running on a Sprint Z2 Force. Everything seems to be working. I'm using it for T-Mobile, and Visual Voice Mail and VoLTE seem to be working.
One thing I can't get to work is Netflix. It won't install. if I sideload it, it won't run.
I use the phone for work (work profile), so I can't use Magisk (and I have no other need to root).
Anyone have a trick to get Netflix installed on a Frankenstein install like this with an unlocked bootloader.
Note: I was able to get Netflix to run on the Z2 Force with the T-Mobile flash on Sprint for Oreo.

Thank you for the link!
where can I get the two files listed in step one?

I want to report that I have followed these instructions and have updated my TMobile Z2 Force to Pie. I am not in an US network.
My steps were pretty similar:
I flashed to stock using the TMO Z2 Force 27.1.5 Flashall
Booted normally
TWRP Wipe Data, Cache and System
Followed the steps as in the Verizon Update thread making sure to follow the steps as indicated by Starkiller2 above (except Factory Reset in TWRP). Using the TMO Z2 FORCE FLASHALL files and NOT the Sprint ones
Voilà
I successfully flashed 9.0/Pie to a Sprint phone for use with T-Mobile the other day.
An update. It generally seems stable and working.
Things that do not work:
A) VoLTE: The phone drops down to "H" (HSPA) / 3G when I make/receive a call. That means that while I can use data, it unusably slow 3G. I am not sure how to fix this. It's using T-Mobile as carrier, T-Mobile US as the APN (same as a Sprint/T-Mobile Z2 Force flashed phone running Oreo I am using on T-Mobile and which gives LTE speeds during a phone call/VoLTE).
B) Netflix won't install. It doesn't even show up in the Play Store. If you try to sideload it, it will crash/stop before you can use it. This is probably related to the unlocked bootloader, although I use Netflix on the Oreo Z2 Force with unlocked bootloader with no issue.
Oh, and the Oreo running Z2 Force shows 4GLTE, while the Pie running Z2 Force shows just LTE in the exact same location. The Oreo phone gets download/upload speeds of 24.0/9.1, the Pie phone gets download/upload speeds of 28.0/9.99. FWIW.
When I make a call, I see "HD call" for the Oreo phone, I don't see it for the Pie phone.

If I recall correctly when I flashed my Z2 I(Spring) phone to unlock it from the network and also installed Magisk for Google Pay and other stuff that did't like rootl Netflix also didn't initially. It wasn't critical since I have so many other ways to watch but out of curiosity I searched for a fix and I think it was this

I did atually take notes but they are at home and I am currently on the road so I can't confirm but it looks like what I did.
A few questions:
1. Will flashing Pie on a bootloader unlocked Sprint model require the modem from 48-20, even if the phone has only been on an earlier Oreo firmware?
2. Does using the Oreo modem mean the Sprint phone could be flashed back and forth between Pie and Oreo without issues?
3. Would there be any reason this mixed/unofficial firmware would not activate / operate normally on Sprint service?
