IMEI = 0 - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since doing a fastboot install of the RETASIA 6.0.1 this morning on my UK Moto X Play I have no IMEI number and no signal on SIM1 and SIM2. I was using RETASIA 6.0 without an issue before doing this.
Does anyone know a solution to this issue? I have tried flashing various firmwares such as 6.0 RETASIA, Lollipop RETGB and RETEUR but no luck. I've also tried restoring a TWIP backup of the India firmware I downloaded from XDA but still nothing.
Using Xposed and IMEI changed didn't fix the issue either.
Can anyone help or is my Moto X Play just a Wifi Only tablet now?
Thanks

Tried with that method, its showing IMEI but no service in SIM slot
Tried with that method after ADB codes,
IMEI number is shown and IMEI SV is 11,
Baseband version : M8952_70030.25.03.62.02R DFLT_FSG
Still Sim card showing NO service
Its a baseband problem since the baseband ends with "DFLT_FSG". I am currently as of now trying to fix this issue and it seems I have succeeded a bit (partially).
Were you able to restore your IMEI back after trying the above link mentioned in this thread?
And a question, do you have Moto G4 (not the plus variant) with single sim??
And can you tell what variant do you have, (I am not able to recall its name) like we have XT1622, XT1642, etc.

Can you please tell whether you tried bringing your IMEI back with this this method?: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-moto-g4-plus-imei0-issue-t3859068
If, yes how many IMEIs are you able to currently see in your device? Is it one or two??
And also which device model do you have?? Mention its variant (like XT1622, XT1642) and the number of sims which it supported earlier

Yes! Using this method I got the IMEI back. But the SIM network does not appear. When I trie to make a call this apper: "turn off airplane mode to make a call" (or someting like that. I'm from Brazil and do not speek english so well).
I can see two IMEIs.
My device is XT1640, two SIM support.

@vinay lucy, you have converted your phone to Moto G4 (single sim variant).
Both of your IMEIs are restored but since your device thinks it has single sim, it just shows one IMEI.
Do not worry, there is a solution to this problem!
This was the method which worked for me, but unfortunately, my baseband got changed to LATAM, so if you are ready for it, then you may proceed.
1. Download these files and keep them in your adb directory: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NtOTKgmJIP_Ys26CYd9KBdwhWdGfbCqH
2. Flash or boot with official TWRP for the device located here: https://dl.twrp.me/athene/twrp-3.2.1-0-athene.img.html
If you want to flash TWRP (that means to replace your current recovery with TWRP), use this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <recovery-name>.img
If you want to boot TWRP (that means be able to boot into TWRP without replacing your stock recovery), use this command:
Code:
fastboot boot <recovery-name>.img
3. Boot into TWRP, if you haven't already,connect your device to PC and type these commands:
Code:
adb push modem.img /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
adb push fsg.img /dev/block/mmcblk0p16
adb push hw.img /dev/block/mmcblk0p43
Note: If you are using any unofficial versions of TWRP, you will not be able to push the last file i.e hw.img as it will be stuck at 100% so use official TWRP only.
Now we have almost completed. Reboot your device and check if you are able to see IMEIs. At this point, your IMEIs and baseband will be unknown, but that doesn't matter, just check whether your device is recognizing 2 IMEIs in there or not.
Now flash the stock firmware and this time, you will be able to see both your IMEIs and baseband (you may or may not have network).
If you have got your network back, enjoy as you have your phone back to life, however if you do not have network, there is one more step.
Repeat step 2 and boot into TWRP and type this command:
Code:
adb push hw2.img /dev/block/mmcblk0p43
Once successfully pushed hw2.img, reboot and you will have your network back with both the sims working.
This will change your baseband so Volte won't work. I somehow got Volte working (I just don't know how).
If hw2.img doesn't work, try pushing hw3.img with the same commands. Good luck!
@edjalmo, after pusing hw2.img, you will still be missing your fingerprint as your device will be Moto G4 and not Moto G4 Plus, so you will have to push hw3.img to get your fingerprint back
Note: The above method which I have shown is working for Indian version of Moto G4/Plus (but now my baseband is changed to LATAM), and it may work or may not work on other versions, but you may try it. Before trying make sure that you have recovered your IMEIs by this method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-moto-g4-plus-imei0-issue-t3859068
I seriously said a couple of times to backup the EFS. But yeah, keep ignoring the warnings and someday you'll fully brick the phone.

Well, since you were able to restore your IMEIs back, would you mind pressing the thanks button in the thread of restoring IMEI (above link), it really took a lot of time and research to fix that issue!

HI i got both the sims imei now,
But im unable to get signal because the base band version is same still after flashing stock rom
Most likely you patched to the latest security patch before rooting/flashing PIE? (february security patch)
When you flashed the stock ROM it did not include the right modem because the february security patch changed the modem
I am in the process of restoring the same exact problem where adb can tell me my IMEI, but my phone shows IMEI=0
My theory is that if I backup the other Moto G4+ I have, same model number 1644.
I will just make a backup of this stock february patch after I install TWRP and then hope to install the backup onto the IMEI=0 G4+.
For you to do this you will likely have to find a backup of the 1640 on february patch stock or find someone who is willing to share the backup like you asked...
This happened on my galaxy 3 when i was just starting too and I fixed it by flashing the correct modem.
Im not sure if its just the modem or if its something else entirely so i will restore the entire backup rather than just the modem, but just to make sure this will not write any EFS info as long as Im using official TWRP? I wouldnt want 2 phones with the same EFS
I am just getting back into installing custom recovery, roms, kernels, etc on my phone so any more experienced users please let me know if I am wrong in thinking this will work.

No thats not the case. I tried this with April 2018 upate, April 2017 update and November 2016 update and the issue is on all the three firmwares. Android Pie is doing some changes with the persist partition and changing the permissions. I have made a specific thread about this issue which I too faced after reverting back to stock from Pie. Have a look at it over here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-moto-g4-plus-imei0-issue-t3859068
(P.S: I know I am posting this everywhere and in a way doing publicity so you may or may not hit the thanks button)
Now somehow i got both sims working
Thanks for suggestion. But Volte not working in JIO.
Did you try pushing hw2.img after getting both IMEIs??
Well I think it wouldn't work as the baseband has some problem. Moreover pushing hw, modem, fsg files too aren't the permenant solution and you will need to do them again if you flash stock ROM after getting signal back.
And can you tell if you noticed something different during the process other than what I mentioned?

Alright.....now the problem is resolved........Can you tell what was the last step did you do after which you got both the sims working?
Volte won't work as there is baseband mismatch. I somehow got Volte working (I just don't know how and I am now in LATAM baseband) and when trying to replicate the process which I did to get Volte working, it didn't work this time. So I am back with system restore. I tried using an earlier efs backup (with Indian baseband) and volte doesn't work.....
I just don't know why or how, so I am now sure that there's something in fsg, oem or system partition that is making Volte to work. Can you upload your build.prop so that we can check for some differences which hopefully can make volte work.

I flashed only hw img via abd and sims imei were restored and later flashed stock rom.
Both sims working now except volte Thanks mate
Either way it sounds very similar to my problem because it happened when i flashed stock rom after having Arrow OS. Have you tried ls -l partition? Mine is showing as a blank so maybe i full bricked it.

As I already mentioned, I had made a guide about fixing IMEI, so read it carefully.
The guide indeed mentions about "ls -l /partition" and not "ls -l partition", so you haven't completely bricked it yet just typed in wrong command......Also make sure to type "su" to gain root access.

That's exactly what is needed. But for some people, hw.img alone didn't work so hw2.img was required.
Please attach your build.prop so that we can compare it to see what's causing Volte problem.

IMEI - Unknown after flashing Custom ROM

Hello everyone, recently I've flashed the Superman ROM V.3.0.1 and everything was fine until I went to general settings on my phone and saw my IMEI is now UNKNOWN. I know this thread may be already solved, and yes, these days I was looking for answers for my problem but I need to know for sure what alternatives I have to recover my IMEI. I have to mention, my phone is 100% original, it has its own IMEI from the beginning, not a copy or MTK device. I saw some sollutions based on some kind of programs to restore manually the IMEI with a command, and this method for me it's not like the best thing to do in this situation..
When I am dialing *#06# I receive the following information: " SM-G935F is not supported on showIMEI ".
I've checked through TWRP ( version 3.1.1.0 ) the partition EFS, is still there ( it has 2mb ). What do you guys think about this? Flashing the stock ROM from sammobile may solve my problem? What alternatives do I have?
Thank you!

Moto X Pure Modem Not Working

Hello I really need help I was flashing customs roms and I did something in ADB and now my radio doesn't work. My Moto X will detect my phone number and my IMEI number shows up but nothing else happens. Some roms won't even register my sim card. I tried flashing the modem from the stock 6.0 image on Motorola's website and I even used the modem files from the Nougat image here on XDA and and I can't get my sim to work. I tried multiple roms and nothing will work. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.
If anyone is reading this I found a solution by myself. My modem was basically bricked so I used this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/xt1575-moto-x-pure-edition-factory-t3704142 and reflashed stock Nougat using adb then I just reinstalled my custom recovery and rom and everything was working again.
