Long story short bought a G5 Cedric running latest official firmware oreo 8.1, didn't like it cuz it's too heavy, unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp then flashed lineage 17 but can't pass safetynet,(clean) flashed resurrection remix after same problem, then i flashed omni rom and suddenly my IMEI was gone and can't install gapps, what to do now? I just want a good custom rom that passes safetynet, don't care if it's pie or Q.
Flash a rom where imei works
Backup efs partition using 64bit twrp
You can then restore efs partition if you loose imei
With regards to safetynet none of the custom roms will pass without you doing some work
You need to flash magisk
Flash Busybox magisk module
Flash props config module and follow all the instructions on how to change device fingerprint eg to a pixel 4 https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-magiskhide-props-config-t3789228/
Hide magisk manager with a random package name from magisk settings
Hide app that detects root with magisk hide from its settings
You can also try the universal safetynet patcher magisk module if the above doesn't work but some report it causes bootloops on some devices/roms
Thank you for the quick response, i have a few questions regarding what you said:
1- how will i know which rom to flash where the IMEI works before flashing the actual rom itself?
2- how do i know if my current twrp is 64bit or not? it's the one from the Lineage 17 thread.
3- when im succesfull in executing those steps and i have to back up efs, where can i find it to restore it if i flash another rom again? because last time before flahsing i wiped system,dalvik & Cache & data but not the storage and yet my back-up was gone?

1 - You will have to try roms yourself to find out
2 - All custom roms from oero onwards are 64bit - you wouldn't be able to flash them without a 64bit twrp so you already have one
3 - data/media/twrp/backups or storage/emulated/0/twrp/backups
I recommend changing the storage location to your sdcard so they don't get deleted when you wipe data or transferring to a pc
Formatting data is effectively formatting internal storage as the device is encrypted

I'm currently sticking with m_vaisakh's AOSP-10 as it shows both my IMEI numbers, its also the most stable and reliable out of the Android 10 roms for the G5 CEDRIC, i do have a problem though: i tried 2 simcards in the dual sim function and they both worked but no 4G, just 3G/HSPA+ both SIM-1 & SIM-2, how can i fix this issue?

If rebuilding the efs doesn't work I do not know
Backup efs first incase it fails to rebuild and imei is 0 again - use a twrp 64 bit to back it up and obviously save to sdcard & pc incase you need to re-flash rom as wiping data will erase your backup on internal storage

it didn't work as my IMEI was 0 on both sims, thankfully i backed up EFS before erasing, so I managed to restore the IMEI again.
Is there really no other way to get 4G back?

If it doesn't work in rom then move back to stock Oreo and once you got the 4g take backup of efs and persist and move to custom ROM. If the 4g is available then no need to restore backup, if not restore the backup and enjoy 4g.

I wouldn't re-lock it for several reasons
1- you need the unlock code to unlock it again & Motorola will say its already been unlocked
2 - Even if you re-lock it it will still display its been unlocked previously
3 - if you ever need to flash stock firmware via fastboot again it may fail with permission denied as the firmware may not be fully signed & you can't flash unsigned firmware with a locked bootloader
4 - if you ota update & it it fails & you hardbrick then again same as point 3
If you really want to Google how to & you need fully signed firmware else it will not lock

I'm going to respond to each point you mentioned:
1- I still have the email from Lenovo containing the unlock code, do i need the same code to relock the bootloader?
2-are you sure it will still say it's been unlocked before?
3-what does fully signed mean? i searched through the link you sent me earlier and i found the same one that i flashed through LMSA, that is XT1676_CEDRIC_RETEU_DS_8.1.0_OPP28.85-19-4-2_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip is the one I flashed through LMSA not fully signed?
4-there's no updates anymore after the version i mentioned in point 3.
side question: does this method you mentioned still applies to relock the bootloader without the aforementioned issues?
PS: it still says ID: bad key on the bootloader unlocked warning, even though i retrieved my IMEI number, shouldn't it display my IMEI number instead of bad key?

You don't need code to lock bootloader - just to unlock it
Yes the bootloader will display its locked but will also give a status code that states its been previously unlocked
Fully signed means each part of the firmware has been signed by Motorola - sometimes the boot.img isn't
You will always get bad key or n/a with an unlocked bootloader - this is normal - you can flash a modded logo.bin to replace this
Those are the steps to re-lock the boot-loader - obviously oreo firmware has more sparsechunk so add the extra parts

Installation Steps (Warranty can be restored whenever you wish)
-------------------------
Before starting your rom flashing journey it is always better to have Flashtool (latest -by androxyde) installed in your PC and your stock rom handy ; incase of any mishappenings.
Type *#*#7378423#*#* in your phone and see if your bootloader status is unlockable under service-->Configuration. Procede with below steps, only if your device is unlockable.
It is important that you follow the steps in order
1) First step for installing a custom rom over a mobile with stock rom is to backup the existing state of bootloader .Usually warranty will get void if any modification is done to bootloader. The below tool ensures that it takes the backup of existing state of bootloader when device is under warranty.
Goto
Backup TA for Sony Xperia (This tool helps you to have a )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598.
Download the tool.This tool will backup your DRM Securtiy keys . Successful backup can only be taken after the existing stock rom is rooted (Use towelroot application if your device is not already rooted) .Root it first then follow the process given in above link .
Once this is over , u will have a backup of the existing state of bootloader/TA partition (If you later wish to move back to stock rom from custom rom use the same tool to restore the backup you have just created.This means you will get your Warranty back);
2) Goto this website , follow the steps and get your unlock code via e mail.
Use fastboot mode to unlock your bootloader (Make sure that you have already backuped your existing DRM keys-Step 1).Follow it fully to unlock your bootloader
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/unlock/step1
3)Download any custom rom zips with recovery, for your mobile from xda developers forum and have fun.Extract boot.img using winrar or winzip .
Flash boot.img via fastboot mode
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
4)As the device reboots, when you see your LED glow press volume up or down. It will take you to CWM Recovery or TWRP recovery based on the rom that you have downloaded.
5)Just install the custom rom(*.zip ) from within the recovery.
What if that i already have the custom recovery?
So, just wipe data, dalvik, and cache, then flash the zip?
That's it?

Absolutely right. But before installing an custom rom in the first place i hope you have already backed up your DRM keys for warranty purpose(as mentioned in the guide) since if you unlock your bootloader without backing up your DRM keys, DRM keys might be lost forever .

Sure. Easiest way to do it is by using an app called, 'Titanium Backup Pro'.But you have to root your stock rom first for this application to run(Use towelroot if you are yet to root).Except for sony proprietary apps like walkman,Album,etc (will run only on stock rom as they use sony developed system libraries/API'S) other apps will get restored/run fine on a custom rom.

Sorry, did you type that in the phone and check the status? That's where it will tell you if its already unlocked or if its even unlockable at all.
Do not try to install a custom ROM on your phone if it is not unlocked! Your phone will not boot.

Thanks to @ foomanjackel for answering your questions.Regarding your 2nd question, 'Experience is the mother of invention'.Why don't you try and see what happens...just kidding.Couldn't resist it. Practically speaking of you install a custom rom with an custom kernel on a locked bootloader you will hard brick it.It will not boot and chances are that you might not be able to goto flashmode or fastbootmode anymoreto repair it.Reason this happens is that both your recovery and bootloader resides in the same partition in your mobile.If you try to install custom kernel on a locked bootloader in every probability, it not only corrupts your existing stocks kernel but also might corrupt your recovery leaving u helpless.
Theoretically, You should be able to install any custom-stock based rom on a locked bootloader (which runs exactly on ur stock kernel).In other words a custom rom which doesn't come up with a custom kernel but based on your existing stock kernel should be able to run on a locked bootloader.But my advice is you do not risk it.

Hi guys, my nexus 5x is locked bootloader and i was running the last Android 7.1.1 stock. I decided to try the last CM14.1, entered TWRP and made a backup. I installed CM14.1 and gapps and my phone was in a bootloop. I decided then to restore my backup, restoration was successful but when i pressed reboot system, I was in a bootloop, at Google dots logo. I flashed successfully the DP 7.1.1 image but couldn't get out the bootloop. Flashed the last stock 7.0 image with the same result. I can access fastboot and recovery but until now couldnt get my phone to start and get out this bootloop. What can I do? Is it a hardware issue as i read somewhere on XDA?
Any help and advices please, I live in a country with no Google service center and I am desperate.
If flashing full stock (all not only system) and full wiping doesn't solve your issue sounds like the infamous hardware problem.
Make sure you didn't restore efs backup taken with twrp 3.0.2.1 otherwise look for efs fix.

You can't.
If you have a locked bootloader all you can do is to flash a full ota package from stock recovery and to wipe/factory reset if it let you to.
If it doesn't fix your issue unfortunately you have to RMA the phone.

when you restored from your backup, was EFS checked when you restored? if it was then you have an EFS file corruption. I personally wrote up a solution to this, here's a link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/help/efs-file-corruption-fix-t3502473
make sure you follow the instructions, this has to be done with the Nexus root toolkit command window open with your phone in TWRP recovery and hooked up to your computer. if you try this, let me know how it goes and if you need help.
edit: your bootloader is unlocked which I know for sure, you can still boot into bootloader and re-root and install twrp back onto your phone even though you're boot looping. I know because the same thing happened to me and was still able to flash a custom recovery.
Yeah it is the EFS problem related to buggy versions of TWRP. Just use dd to to clear the EFS partitions - the chipset will luckily autogenerate the EFS contents on first boot.
Next time dont restore EFS partition from your backups and everything will be perfectly okay.
Makes me wonder how many hundreds of people have sent the device to RMA because of this issue.

This command is to unlock the bootloader right? But I guess if the OEM unlock is not selected in developer options within Android, it won't work, or correct me if I am wrong.

You can try. I heard somewhere that it may work if you apply it before booting the android the first time (technically your android cant boot at the moment).

Failed (remote: OEM unlock is not allowed)
Hi.
I rooted my M2 10 Wifi (A01W) with Kingroot and apparently now it's unroot (Magisk Manager said that). Even I made a factory reset.
I have the _B007 version and when I try to upgrade via OTA to _B008, it always fail and show "Failed to check the update files. Please download the package again".
I've working with ADB, Fastboot... and I could see that it's unroot, but the Bootloader is Unlock and I can't Relock it. Maybe it's the reason because the OTA doesn't work.
So I got a fastboot code with DC-UNLOCKER and tried to relock (fastboot oem relock CODE) and the answer was:
FAILED (Remote: root type is risk)
If I execute "fastboot oem check-rootinfo":
old_stat: RISK
now_stat: RISK
change_time: xxxxxxxxx
Apparently, the Recovery is stock, with EMUI logo showing 3 options:
Reboot, Wipedata/factory reset and Wipe chache partition
I made the factory reset that way.
Any idea? Thanks.

I have the _B007 version and when I try to upgrade via OTA to _B008, it always fail and show "Failed to check the update files. Please download the package again".
I've working with ADB, Fastboot... and I could see that it's unroot, but the Bootloader is Unlock and I can't Relock it. Maybe it's the reason because the OTA doesn't work.
So I got a fastboot code with DC-UNLOCKER and tried to relock (fastboot oem relock CODE) and the answer was:
FAILED (Remote: root type is risk)
If I execute "fastboot oem check-rootinfo":
old_stat: RISK
now_stat: RISK
change_time: xxxxxxxxx
Apparently, the Recovery is stock, with EMUI logo showing 3 options:
Reboot, Wipedata/factory reset and Wipe chache partition
I made the factory reset that way.
Any idea? Thanks.

Well, I've read that flashing a system.img extracted from the UPDATE.APP I would can restore the Stock ROM... but I don't find a complete Stock ROM for Mediapad M2 10 Wifi (A01W).
I found the OTA in Romfirmware or Fordroid (sorry, I'm new user and I can not post external links). With this I can flash BOOT.img and RECOVERY.img, but the problem persist.
Does someone has any idea... or where can I get the complete Stock ROM?
Thanks!!!

Stokk ROM maybe available through a paid service by easy firmware. Got my LTE Stock ROM frim there. For the Wi-Fi edition you could first take a look here.

Thanks!!! I didn't know that page. It's fine and does not look very expensive.
Just one more doubt.
The firmaware I need (as read on the tablet) is M2-A01w...B008 for West Europe
The firmware that the page shows is M2-A01w...B008CUSTC100D001
Do you know what CUSTC100D001 mean? Could I used it without problems?

Glad it helped and yes it is not so expensive regarding the fact that there are all sorts of official firmware (mostly leaked ones) available for a lot of manufacturers.
The CUST reference at the end if the firmware version can be found in settings > about the tablet in the very last line. Mine is in German, So translated this line would state something like adapted/customized version. D001 is definitely Western Europe,this should be fine.
If not familiar how to install it google or search the forum for dload method. It will tell you what to do.

I've done:
1. Get the correct firmware (version ...B007) and extract the RECOVERY.IMG and UPDATE.APP.
2. Flash the RECOVERY with Fastboot and install the UPDATE with the "dload" in the SD.
3. Reboot in RECOVERY MODE, wipe all and restore factory settings.
4. Then, the tablet was updated via OTA to the ...B008 version.
Then, positive:
1. The OTA works fine.
2. I was abble to install the Nextlix App and the HBO Spain App plays videos. Both didn't work before.
3. If I execute "fastboot oem check-rootinfo":
old_stat: RISK
now_stat: SAFE
Then, negative:
1. I can't relock the Bootloader yet. When I try to relock (fastboot oem relock CODE) and the answer was again: FAILED (Remote: root type is risk)
Well, for normal use that's enough, but... THE RELOCK is becoming personal!!!
Device : XT1677

Yes,you can flash other roms or other stock variety but you should not have to downgrade bootloader as it will hard brick your device.

I just flashed the last global firmware, but even using stock rom, I'm not able to use any of my SIM slots now, MIUI says that SIM is not inserted.

check IMEI if it''s still there, otherwise nvdata might've gone haywire.
Flashing fastboot version of the stock ROM should fix any partition being messed up, right?

It should, but talking about NVdata, it is actually specific for every device and even Stock ROMS doesn't ship with NVdata partition otherwise all of us explorers would have the same NVdata(SN, IMEI, MAC Address) if we flash it. But I'm pretty confident that if the guy's IMEI is still intact to the phone, then it must be a hardware issue.

Quick update, i flashed MIUI 12.5 rom and now the device is recognizing both SIM slots, however i don't have signal yet. I'm gonna flash 13.0.2 to see if problem gets solved.

Do you have a backup efs partition. If you happen to have it, do a restore and solve the problem
