Change IMEI 0? - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

I did the tutorial to make my Moto Z Play dual, it worked but second sim is IMEI 0 and my carrier dont let me use it. So is there a way to place a valid IMEI instead of 0? Im unlocked bootloader, rooted with Magisk, stock 7.1.1

If you backed up your imei (EFS partition) before you are good to go otherwise it's impossible I think..

No, read the entire post.
My Moto Z Play XT1635-02 was only single sim, and I made this dual sim, but its normal to show the second sim IMEI 0

Well If you would have a backup of efs yes... Which you can't have until you have twrp or similar installed.. So idk no way to recover it without a backup. Is the phone still booting? What is working what not? Do you really mean the imei or "imei sv"?
You wrote you send LG the imei? You have not go through the official unlock page by LG? The imei was taken from the sticker behind the battery? Or from within a booted rom?

Really? I asked 5 questions and you answered 1?
This is not the way it works.. (at least for me)

easy contact LG and tell them what happened. since you had a working imei and after unlock it was deleted, wiped

I'm having same thing, although it happens when I try to install a custom rom. Imei gets wiped. Even though i have a backup of the original efs in twrp, restoring it makes no difference.
Sometimes when i try to restore the original non rooted system including backed up efs i still have a problem with no mobile signal and blank imei. Restoring efs from a different backup fixes it for some reason. Apart from using non rooted non custom Rom i basically can't get mobile signal.
Any ideas?

Second Sim unlocking on Single Sim xt1635-02

Hello,
Is there anyone who is able to get second sim working on dual sim xt1635-02 just like people were able to do so with moto x play. I have checked that my device does contains pins for the second sim and above all there are worldwide dual sim devices with same xt1635-02 board.
No word. However with other forum users ending up with imei = 0 on sim 1, i wouldn't recommend it.

The method to install a dual SIM firmware on a single sim device probably will work. Like with Moto X Play there will be only one IMEI be present. Who wants a dual SIM device, should buy a dual SIM device.
After you are sure to have a working efs backup (this one is really difficult! How to be sure your backup would work without testing restore? But if backup is broken or incomplete, testing restore may make your phone an expensive mediaplayer!), good luck when testing. Others just don't have the need I guess.
I tried several things the past days, and the only thing I got is the second sim got reconized but no calls are possible. The prop says dualsim=failes.
I think it's hardcoded like the software channel.

You could flash the RETBR firmware on your MZP, swap in a dual sim tray and give it a shot.

Doesn't work. I tried the RETBR and the Asian versions. Nothing.
The only thing right now is "setprop persist.radio.multisim.config dsds"
But the Second SIM got no network connection.

Nice. Can it be used to make calls?
rooted mzp and modified build.prop
i can get it to recognize the sim, even number properly but no network on second sim.
guess @-=Morph= made a typo: now instead of no ...
Can anyone tell me how to backup efs partition? Twrp doesn't show efs partition during backup.

"But the second sim now got the network connection."
I got both SIM cards working and a working network connection on both cards.
Calling works also. I test the settings now for a few days and if there are no problems I write a short tutorial.

This is on a device sold as single sim? That's awesome!
Yes a single sim from T-Mobile Germany. We got dualsim only at the motomaker and not in the local or Online stores.
The second sim got imei 0, but that's not a problem here.

I am just guessing that you may have flashed a single sim firmware to your dual sim model, could be wrong. Try flashing the correct firmware.

how to change IMEI on Xperia M5

hi all, not sure if there is already a thread for this topic, pls let me know in case there is
i have a Xperia M5 running android 5, already rooted, bootloaded still locked, it has report and not able to use with any carrier, i tried to change IMEI replacing the MP0B_001 file, but now when i check the imei on setting, about, imei, it says unknown, is there another way to change it, or am i missing some step.
thanks to all in advance
There is a tool but I'm not sure what it is because it's banned on xda and I think it only works on Qualcomm chips

Hey. Try an app wich is on Play store: Chamelephone. When installed, allow superuser access, then copy your imei on first blank space, if you are single sim. If it doesn't work, copy the same imei on the two spaces. If you are dual sim, copy each imei on each space. Try it at your own risk. Good luck

help to update moto z play!!!!

good afternoon friends, I come to you for some doubts that I have about the update of my team .... I have a moto z play with android 6.0.1 I want to update for compatibility issues in applications, but I have activated the good dual sim so I bought it second-hand, can I update directly to 7.1.1? and from there go up to 8 by means of adb sideload? and what is the procedure since I read that you need to omit the lines of the modem and the sfg to not have problems with the imei ..... someone could help me please? and excuse me but occupy the translator to create the theme.
Can we see a screenshot of your Settings>about phone screen please, showing your device and build number? This should help us figure what device you have and what builds to flash.
Provided you flash the correct firmware for your device, your IMEI should be okay.

It does not allow me to upload links, but I leave the details of my system ....
Android version: 6.0.1
Baseband: M8953_10208.08.04.47R ADDISON_ROWDSDS_CUST
compilation: MPN24.104-44
I downloaded the firmware: XT1635-02_ADDISON_7.1.1_NPNS26.118-22-2-12_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
* I do not know if that serves me, if I can directly flash and if I should omit the lines of the commands Modem and Fsg, to avoid losing the imei .....

Thanks, if you're updating, usually it's a good idea to full flash, including modem and fsg. Else you'll have issues with OTA updates.
Normally flashing stock firmware shouldn't cause problems with your IMEI, but without knowing the history of your device, it's difficult to say. If you want to, could you provide your device's get var info?
A) assuming you have ADB and the Motorola drivers set up on your computer, boot your device into the bootloader. Connect your device to your computer via USB.
B) open an ADB terminal and in the terminal type 'fastboot devices' without quotes. Press enter, that should return your device's serial.
C) if you get a response, type 'fastboot getvar all' without quotes in the ADB terminal. Press enter to display a output of your device's parameters.
D) copy paste that output here or upload it somewhere. You may wish to omit your IMEI from the output. That output should tell us if the device was previously unlocked or flashed with a newer firmware.

ok I understand, I explain the equipment I acquired it from use and has a blockage for non-payment in ATTMX that is why they activated the second sim, I do not have backup of the efs and the recovery does not let me, my idea is to go up to 7.1.1 and then go to Oreo by means of adb and already being there to activate the dual sim again and be able to continue using it ... so I ask you if I can skip those commands to avoid taking risks with the imei

Again, if you're updating with the correct firmware and the device had not been flashed with custom ROMs or had downgraded firmware in the past, I do not think you will lose your IMEI. I would recommend you use those commands.
However, if your device was blocked for non payment, are you sure you can even use dual Sims? I'm concerned the previous owner's network provider may have black listed IMEI 1, so even if you update to Oreo, you may only have one active SIM. I'm also hoping that device is from non payment and not stolen...

I suppose they stopped paying, and if right now the dual SIM is activated in the first line which is the original IMEI does not signal, but in the second that is the IMEI 0 if I can use my line but the same way only works for ATTMX, that's why I want to think that updating to 7.1.1 and later to oreo can activate the dual sim back and that it works again like now .....

Even if the device says it's dual SIM, the IMEI for one of the SIM slots is likely blocked not by ATTMX but for other providers too (hence the blacklist). I doubt if you update whether you will get dual SIM usage, as your IMEI stays the same usually, so even if you're updated to Oreo, you may still have only one SIM active. The network may just keep rejecting that IMEI number.
I'd honestly think about returning it unless you're happy with just single SIM access.

does not look, I mean the original equipment is a sim which is blocked for lack of payment, they activated the second sim and obviously that is 0 which if I line with ATTMX and good until now I have no problem it works for me and apart I bought it cheap, the only thing I want is to update to be up to date and so already updated to activate the second sim

Yup, so if I've understood you correctly
SIM 1) Blacklisted IMEI due to non-payment by the original owner . Likely will not work even if you update.
SIM 2) I don't think this IMEI 2 gets blacklisted automatically, IMEI 1 is usually the one that is blocked, unless the original owner or ATTMX asked for IMEI 2 to be blocked too.
However, I still think if you update to Oreo, you will not be able to activate the dual SIMs. IMEI 1 will still remain blocked. From what I understand, only the original owner/ATTMX can reverse the block, and as it's due to non-payment, you'd likely have to ask the original owner to clear their debt with ATTMX to clear the block. The block exists on the carrier level, so unless you can change the IMEI (which is something indiscussable on XDA), you are stuck with one SIM, despite having a dual SIM model.

if the original IMEI 1 is the one that is blacklisted by the operator, the IMEI 2, which is the one that was activated and is 0, is the one that gives me line, so I wanted to suppose that if I update and when I am in Oreo I could activate it again with the tutorial that goes on the web and thus continue to occupy the IMEI 2 with the line I have ..... now I hope to explain myself .. I doubt very much that the owner pays since we are not in contact.

So you'd likely have only IMEI 2/SIM 2 active, especially if the original owner has not cleared the balance. I do not know of tutorials that could help you restore IMEI 1 (and they are likely not permitted on XDA). I wish you luck in this endeavour to get your dual SIM device working fully.
