How to get IMEI to show up again on Pixel XL? - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

I have a Google Version P1XL 128 GB black and the guy I bought it from was tinkering a bit and flashed a minimalist ROM and somehow deleted the IMEI. I flashed a fresh stock ROM using Skipsoft and relocked the BL to see if it would fix it and no luck. SIM isnt recognized and the IMEI shows unknown. I used fastboot and command fastboot getvar all and it does show the IMEI there. What do I do to make it work again?

all phones use *#06# to display the imei
sorry ignor me i miss read you

Unlock the BL, manually flash the stock factory image to both slots A and B, and make sure you flash the radio file as well. After that do a factory reset and reboot and see if it works.
If not, write down the IMEI from the fastboot command and have a repair shop re write the IMEI back to the phone.

I did that to see what it would do and its a blank box. Previous owner messed around with flashing and erased IMEI.

i lost the recovery mod

Hello,
i have a problem with my zenfone 2.
Since i recover it from a hardbrick with xfstk, i can't access recovery anymore.

I try to flash custom recovery from fastboot like twrp or cwm but it ended with the same result.:silly:
Otherwise the phone work perfectly.

When you flashed raw , did you complete it with 0123456789abcdef as your serial number ?
if did this ,this should be rectified first for recovery to operate correctly .
i did a video just for this

thanks for the quick answer, i don't think i complete it with 0123456789abcdef as the serial number.
in fact after the xfstk phase, i have pushed system.img, recovery.img, boot.img,etc with fastboot line command, i didn't use asus tool.
that way i manage to keep all my data, without the need to wipe.
Can i add the serial number afterward?

I think my bootloader might not be up to date.
It don't show the same serial number as asus tool or as the one i can see in the phone parameter.

I did the same thing on my previous phone Lenovo vibe P1
You messed up the broadband bands for the rest of the world,the US have there own bands
I fixed it with the qpst software from Qualcomm and a qcn backup from someone with the same phone
You just have to restore the back up
It's somewhat tricky if you don't have any experience
Something else that could work is a TWRP backup of the efs partition it think is called, just restore it and you're good to go.

Elite OS. Was unlocked.
Does anyone have EDL access that would be willing to save me?
I gess u used MiFlash tool if u locked ur bootloader (clear all and lock), so I guess again that u flashed an stock rom (since MiFlash tool works with fastboot stock rom only). That means that ur not on Elit ROM anymore but in a stock ROM. If u can access fastboot as u claimed, try to unlock ur bootloader again....maybe a miracle is happen and it will work without bonding ur account to ur phone In this stage, u can not mess up ur phone more, so give it a try
Try to unlock bootloader again. It should be possible if you unlocked bootloader before.
It doens't work, it asks me to do the old adb, i can't get in the phone to enable unlock.
but yes, i did...rookie mistake, poxy thing shouldn't even be there and now Im more screwed than ever

You can try this guy https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/bricked-mi-8-edl-flashing-problem.58984/#post-582694
Personally didn't contact him, so you have to risk it to verify, and high chance to charge you some repair fee.
If you think everyone who offers EDL but request payment is fishy, then your only choice is Xiaomi repair center.
In your state, chances for EDL access free of charge is extremely low, even non-exist.
If you want free of charge, then try Xiaomi repair center. There's chance for free repair, that is, if your device meet the warranty coverage policy.

I had a similar issue with a Motorola. I tried this, so no promises...but generally I think it's "hot booting" the boot image. I ran the command:
fastboot -b flash boot boot.img
It returned some output like "downloading..." and something else. Of course, locate and put your matching boot.img file in your fastboot directory before flashing. Afterwards, my phone booted into the system like nothing was wrong. I suppose it didn't make it to flashing the system partition? which left it bootable?
Please, corrections, I'm uh, new <----.

You cant flash anything via adb if your bl is locked -_-
If you have an f3 and flashed a fastboot rom you shouldn’t get any issue!! There is a little tool to switch to edl from fastboot , but even having access to that you need a verified mi account to flash or pay someone , its around 25$ had the same issu 7 months ago i can provide you the contact of a legit guy who did for me
I think you have to first put your phone in edl mode by opening the case (melt the glue using a hair dryer) and shorting 2 pins. You should start worrying about edl credentials after you have done that.

Yes, apparently you can. My bootloader was locked when I input that command. The phone then booted into the normal system. You have to have a matching boot image though.

Question Bootloop to fastboot logo and back in lock state

Hi everybody,
yesterday I tried flashing the stock pocof3 rom back onto my phone, but since it got stuck in a bootloop at the fastboot logo. Showing the poco logo for a milisecond and then straight to fastboot..
(before this I flashed twrp and the arrowOS recovery and images a few time trying, without succes, to install this rom)
Last thing I did was flash via the mi-flash tool and did't see the "clean and lock" selection so it's also in lock state again.
I cant get adb to find the phone although the mi-flashtool is finding it.
anyone any tips?
I tried the vol up power trick, but this didn't help, keeps loading into fastboot

BAD NEWS... your Poco is bricked. You cannot flash ANYTHING using a PC when your bootloader is locked.
(I did same thing on a Mi11 5g last week and ended up selling it on eBay for spare & repairs
I tried sideload flash, miflash, copying update.zip to internal storage via ADB, and many other options - all without success).
- if your POCO is under warranty in your country (i.e. not a chinese import)... contact Xiaomi Support they can re-flash correct ROM
- Ask your local phone repair store... they *might* be able to flash original ROM back by using "Chimera" engineering software.

- Bootloader was re-locked whilst a custom ROM was in the phone.
(MIUI with Locked bootloader will not boot up where ROM is not stock or does not match the region/product code).
You cannot apply for bootoader unlock because you cannot boot up into Android and request the unlock via Developer mode.
You cannot remotely (via PC cable) flash any ROM into a Xiaomi / POCO phone whilst botloader is locked.
You are in a chicken and egg situation.,,, but if you find a way to repair your phone, please let us know how you achieved it.
Good luck!
If the system hasn't booted up yet there is a chance that you will be able to unlock bootloader again. Try it.

Connect the phone to pc and do the bootloader unlock again via the mi unlock app - you don't need to apply again and stuff as long as you're able to recognise the phone inside app correctly

Is it not even possible to flash Official ROMs?
Isn't there like a system that it checks the signature of the ROM and if it's a signed ROM it allows the flash? Or am I mistaken?

Nope bootload locked = no 'remote' flashes via pc
Apparently there is an 'authenticated user' mode for Xiaomi engineers in MiFlaah and also an EDL Emergency Download Mode which you can trigger by shorting out 2 pins on the motherboard so bypass bootloader lock and flash any ROM
Neither were available options for me

I'm now in the procedure to sent it back under warranty. any idea if this is possible and what the cost would be if not under warranty?
If all fails i'll try the shorting by pins, should be interesting
I think a warranty repair claim is your best bet ... I have never read anywhere that unlocking bootloader invalidates Xiaomi warranty (Unlike Samsung and so many other brands!)
If warranty repair is re refused try a few independent repair shops
Last resort is get the back cover off the phone and short out the EDL pins
Good luck!
Let us know if you manage to get your phone booting up again

I once hardbricked (complete blackscreen, not even Fastboot reachable) a Poco F3.
I requested a replacement from Amazon and that worked.
I said a software update bricked it.
Of course having to do that is really bad, but I was scared of opening the back.

General ROOT RED MAGIC 8 PRO V3.18

ROOT RED MAGIC 8 PRO V3.18​Your device must be bootloader unlocked
To unlock bootloader enable oem unlock in developer options and usb debugging
Then type the command: adb reboot bootloader
Or access fastboot with hardware key: Power + volume down
Once in fastboot type the following command to unlock:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical"
Access fastboot then type the command:
fastboot flash init_boot_a magisk_patched-25200_3.18UN.img
fastboot reboot
Done
You check if the correct active slot is a, if it is b just change the command a with b
Only use for V3.18 version I have not tested other versions
Note: Absolutely do not patch the boot file, you will have a continuous boot error​
Root Done
The backups with just ommiting the B slots is 12.7 gb so i cant personally help you with that. Have you tried flashing the OTA's boot.img (might even try boot_a.img) and init_boot.img while slot A is selected? Not the magisk modded files either.

i flashed those 2 files but still can't boot the phone, go to logo then turn off the screen, can only go to fastboot and recovery, i sideload 47% it gives error
If you are rooted, please help me, I will send you coffee donate, please help me, full backup
I Pm'd you the backups now that i am at home, hopefully they help
Im at a stand still with this. I have already fastboot flashing unlock_critical as you can see in which it states Device already unlocked but whether I am in bootloader and fastboot I get Flashing is not allowed in a lock state. Any help from some else that ran into this or has knowledge on it?
Thanks
Update. Fixed the issue. Add the step of "fastboot flashing unlock" before "fastboot flashing unlock_critical"
If You can flash a GSI, It'd be a decisive factor in getting people to buy this phone. The company should be paying you to do this, but they're probably too greedy to make a bigger profit
I've successfully flashed a few A13 GSIs but screen lock is a still a problem and so far calls and messaging doesn't work normally.
I know that this next question were asked before, but i keep not understanding much about it: if i revert back the root completely (unroot the phone, lock the oem and delete "third party apps" like magisk, etc.) will my warranty be back? i am talking about the redmagic 8 pro void specifically. Can someone help me understanding this? i have searched on internet about this and they all say that simply it depends on manufacturers to "detect" if the warranty was void (even if you unroot and lock oem and all).... Thank you in advance

Well once you unlock bootloader it clearly says warranty: void in fastboot so it probably is very easy to detect

In that case, why op said that the warranty can still be returned after relocking the bootloader?
As you see, it is very connfusing... Some guys say yes, some others not. :s

Did you follow the instructions correctly, this error may have you flashed the wrong boot file, right?

Yes, I unlocked the bootloader first.
Then I flash boot and an error occurred.
Did I get a brick or is there hope?)
