The solution is very simple and ive tested it on more then 5 different senarios when i get the bug.
1. install TWRP recovery (you can even sideload it with fastboot if you dont wanna install it on phone(if you got stock recovery etc.), with this command "fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-m8.img"
2. make a full wipe, check all boxes except external SD :highfive:, that will erase /data/media and also /data where the encryption bug lies.
3. install your ROM or restore your ROM from backup.
4. then reboot recovery and flash the recovery you want (or sideload it with the command above).
5. done, now the encryption bug is gone :good:
if this still dont work, try the solution given by maxrdlf95 in his thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2773203

So, what youre basically saying is wipe data? I think the point is most people dont wanna do that, and doesnt the other fix allow you to fix the issue without wiping? Just trying to understand...

Make a full backup of your ROM first, then my steps (cwm, philz won't work).
Then Restore backup...
Philz and cwm won't wipe the important parts, so with them the bug will still be there. So twrp with all options check will do the trick.
This method worked for me. I selected all options except external sd card when wiping. Wiping failed. Then I went to format data, typed in "yes" and formatted my internal storage. I then went back to select all option to wipe everything and surprisingly "It Worked", I was able to wipe everything and restore my rom successfully.
Thanks for this!!! (AT&T User!)

Nobody is going to know what that means. You need to provide details and specifics on what you tried, what exact step you got stuck, including details on error messages or other results on the phone's screen, computer screen, etc.
Responding with one sentence like you did, and expecting anyone to be able to help, is not the proper way to post or ask for help.
You can't install TWRP with a locked bootloader. You need to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.com. If you had problems with the bootloader unlock process, you need to be specific on what step, and what errors you encountered; of you expect us to advise you.
Hello,
The first day I got my moto x style (XT1572) I started to root, everything was more or less well until I tried to install the SU when I finished installing the binary from the TWRP custom recovery-3.0.2-0- clark you say yes to install the root since the phone would not start and remains in boot loop.
After much look I followed some tutorial XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/help/brick-downgrade-6-0-to-5-1-heeeeelp-t3253716) to return to flash the phone with the rom that theory came from factory cbox1s_XT1572_CLARK_RETEU_6.0_MPHS24.49-18-3_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml after following all the steps mobile and well lit and seems it was all sorted.
Well, I went back to the load to make root and remove the message that the bootloader was unlocked this time all fu well, except now every time I reboot I enter into fastboot mode and have to select START to boot normal to me.
Any ideas or suggestions to fix it?
regards,
PD: Sorry for my google translate english i'am spanish a my english level is very bad :crying:
SOLVED, the problem was the BP Tools in the fastboot, i had "Fastboot Reason: UTAG "bootmode" configured as fastboot" i changed to "Normal Powerup" and all perfect

What? how do you do it? can you tell me how to do it more specific? I'm new so I don't understand what you mean and how you do it :/
thank you.
Moto devices have a flashing mode called "fb_mode" that when enabled causes the bootloader to start on each boot, it is used for flashing stock firmware images since in some cases the device needs to reboot after flashing a certain partition or image and it needs a way to return to the fastboot mode. Remember when flashing a stock image you may have entered "fastboot oem fb_mode_set"? If not then a toolkit or other flashing tool may have done it but not cleared it correctly. To clear it manually you need to literally clear it with a fastboot command... With the phone in the bootloader, enter this command from your computer"
fasboot oem fb_mode_clear
And reboot, it should no longer go to the bootloader unless you are holding VOL DN and the operating system should start normally.

Yea I do need help, I had flashed a custom rom with twrp recovery on my phone but every time I reboot I either loads into recovery or boot loader if I fb mode clear or not. Even if theirs a system to boot, I have to manually boot into through boot loader and start. If I go to bootloader logs it just says reboot mode set to fastboot.

There is no problem... The Moto X does not have A/B software slots, the messages above are merely informational and completely normal.
With mfastboot there is no messages like this. Only "OKAY" one
However it didn't help with my Moto G (falcon).
What helped was checking the kernel. My "smartness" told me to flash Nouagt when I had Pie rom...

After a week of hard troubleshooting, I finally found a quick fix to any IMEI problems you might have, no root, TWRP, Odin, or any nonsense required!
Prerequisites:
U.S. Moto g5 plus (at least the one I'm using, don't know how well it works on other versions)
8.1 custom Oreo ROM (I used Validus, we only use this to get signal and imei back to default)
Moto g5 plus STOCK ROM https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/potter/official/RETAIL/
Patience
***************************
That's it!
Down to the nitty gritty. Your imei is zero or 0000000 or some funky number, and no sim cards/cellular service works in your device, right? I finally found the simple solution after hard work. You have TWO options, read on.
1. Flash custom recovery, erase everything, and get on 8.1 Oreo ROM (delete modemst1 and 2 in fastboot beforehand) and STAY THERE. Signal will work.
2. OR go back to stock everything and locked bootloader, which is what I did. My fastboot says software status official oem locked and I get updates.
******************
The TRICK is, if your imei is 0 and cellular doesn't work, you have to delete your modemst1 and 2 in fastboot before installing anything new, so that it can reset back to default. The other TRICK is if you are reverting back to stock, follow all the normal commands for reflashing, but DON'T do anything with modemst. say I was following normal commands for flashing, then ran across these three commands....
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
SKIP THEM. What we're attempting to do is keep your EFS folder as it was on the 8.1 OREO, aka WORKING. Flashing rom itself doesn't delete the EFS folder, but when you run those commands (which is in most tutorials) IT WILL WRECK YOUR IMEI AGAIN.
************
So, to recap. To fix IMEI issue, use these two commands in fastboot
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
THEN, flash 8.1 custom oreo rom, and if you like it stay with it, your signal will be working again, or go back to stock everything oem locked, your choice, just make sure you don't delete your modemst1,2 in commands WHILST doing so.
And that's it! Your imei and signal is working again. What's stupid is that this happens in the first place, but life happens. FIXED!
Did you get voLTE to work?
What carrier are you on? I am on Verizon and this only gets me 3G like all of other fixes for this issue on here.

Unfortunately, none of these methods work no more, the question is why?. Personally, I believe something further has been borked in oreo development, just like the volte issue. Absolutely no methods restore my ime, some actually make it very difficult to even get a signal now. I spent several hours last night trying every option available just to get a signal, whereas before I flashed the latest vladious rom, flashing pixel experience, or any oreo rom for that matter, would restore 4g on first boot. My ime is 0 and i give up. In all my years with android modding (since zte blade), I have never had a device with so many issues, and so unpredictable. You can use a method to fix something, and next thing you know it does not work, for example, encryption can be really hit and miss when you first flash twrp, even flashing no verity does not always work.
Tried every possible combination as per guides/fixes....no luck..
The only thing that's worked for me without fail every time is wiping everything with twrp, Dalvik, Data, System, Cache, internal storage, hitting that dreaded Format Data button, and flashing the earliest stock firmware (which I believe is 137-33 for the XT1687) using fastboot. Having a backup can save a ton of time and headaches too. If there's any point where you DO get at least LTE working, back up that EFS partition before you do ANYTHING else. But try flashing the earliest stock you can find, or preferably the one that was on your device when you bought it.
Worked like a Charm!
Dude, i was looking for the same since yesterday, come to this thread and follow all the steps carefully. My IMEI was showing 0 before and now everything is working fine including both SIM cards.
Thanks

After a week of hard troubleshooting, I finally found a quick fix to any IMEI problems you might have, no root, TWRP, Odin, or any nonsense required!
Prerequisites:
U.S. Moto g5 plus (at least the one I'm using, don't know how well it works on other versions)
8.1 custom Oreo ROM (I used Validus, we only use this to get signal and imei back to default)
Moto g5 plus STOCK ROM https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/potter/official/RETAIL/
Patience
***************************
That's it!
Down to the nitty gritty. Your imei is zero or 0000000 or some funky number, and no sim cards/cellular service works in your device, right? I finally found the simple solution after hard work. You have TWO options, read on.
1. Flash custom recovery, erase everything, and get on 8.1 Oreo ROM (delete modemst1 and 2 in fastboot beforehand) and STAY THERE. Signal will work.
2. OR go back to stock everything and locked bootloader, which is what I did. My fastboot says software status official oem locked and I get updates.
******************
The TRICK is, if your imei is 0 and cellular doesn't work, you have to delete your modemst1 and 2 in fastboot before installing anything new, so that it can reset back to default. The other TRICK is if you are reverting back to stock, follow all the normal commands for reflashing, but DON'T do anything with modemst. say I was following normal commands for flashing, then ran across these three commands....
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
SKIP THEM. What we're attempting to do is keep your EFS folder as it was on the 8.1 OREO, aka WORKING. Flashing rom itself doesn't delete the EFS folder, but when you run those commands (which is in most tutorials) IT WILL WRECK YOUR IMEI AGAIN.
************
So, to recap. To fix IMEI issue, use these two commands in fastboot
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
THEN, flash 8.1 custom oreo rom, and if you like it stay with it, your signal will be working again, or go back to stock everything oem locked, your choice, just make sure you don't delete your modemst1,2 in commands WHILST doing so.
And that's it! Your imei and signal is working again. What's stupid is that this happens in the first place, but life happens. FIXED!

Your network problem can be solved since IMEI no is shown getvar. You can try installing latest stock Oreo, or trying custom ROMS. Many times custom ROM bring back the IMEI.

Use the firmware downloaded by LMSA and flash the device manually. And did you try any custom ROMs? Mostly they help you to get back your IMEI.

Solution
I was using previous/old version of ADB files(Fastboot.exe and ADB.exe). Post downloading latest version, I was able to fire below command through bootloader:
fastboot.exe flashing unlock
Now I'm all happy.
Hello guys,
I need help. Definitely
My phone stopped booting into system after some service.
First a little brief:
Phone never showed any problems before.
LCD+Touch were replaced.
Phone stopped booting into system.
Stills boots/ works perfectly in fastboot, recovery and userdebug.
Tried:
factory reset
unlocking and relocking bootloader
flashing several factory and stock RAWs
stock recovery and TWRP
stock raw alone
update stock system from stock raw
twrp + stock rom + magisk
twrp + lineageos + magisk
several guides on this forum
Nothing works. Problem remains the same, doesn’t matter the alternative I try.
Now the whole story:
I’ve had this phone for a while. Always did the OTA updates. Never had problems… at all.
Some days ago, I dropped it and was finally able to break the screen. The lcd became black in some spots and had different brightness in others. Touch kind of worked, kind of got crazy after some seconds (and I had to turn the screen off and on again).
I’ve got some experience in repairing electronics and phones. So, I watched/read a dozen guides about this particular service, bought an original LCD+Touch kit, and replaced myself.
No apparent problems with that. The process is quite simple and straight forward. (I knew what I was doing. But if you tell me something might be wrong with that, I will look into it. I will take any help. Just tell me what to do.)
And so it begins.
I set my phone up again - without gluing anything, as it was the first test – and turn it on. It seems to boot normally… boot logo shows normally… boot animation seems to take longer than usual… the screen suddenly goes black.
I open the whole thing again, check every connector, everything is ok.
I try to turn it on again, now the phone turns off after just one or two seconds of boot animation.
I did then a factory reset, problem persisted just the same.
I thought to myself: “ok, then. System must be somehow corrupted.”
I updated the system to the lasted version in ASUS website trough adb sideload. Problem persisted.
“ok, maybe I must clear the system partition then… let’s go a little further”.
I read some guides, and proceeded to unlock the bootloader (flash factory raw, fastboot commands, flash oreo raw), flash TWRP and LineageOS.
When I turn it on again, a bit of hope. Boot animation takes, again, a long time. An “encrypting device” screen comes up and I believe it’s finally over. But no. The phone goes off after about 10 seconds of supposed encrypting and, when I turn it on again, same as before… two seconds of boot animation and then darkness.
After that I Just went deeper into the habbit hole.
Tried several brick fixes in sent by the XDA community.
Tried flashing RAWs using Asus Flash Tool (v1.0.0.86 (20201124)) and flashall_AFT.cmd (that comes inside de RAWs.
Tried all combination and orders I could imagine of the following RAWs:
CSC_ZE552KL_13.1301.1603.53_WW_Lock_20171128
CSC_ZE552KL_13_13_1_36_M2_6_7_P7_userdebug
WW_ZE552KL_13.20.10.137_M3.10.35_Phone-user.raw
WW_ZE552KL_14.2020.1703.28_M3.10.47.3_Phone-user.raw
WW_ZE552KL_15.0410.1712.31_M3.10.47.16_Phone-user.raw
WW_ZE552KL_15.0410.1807.75_M3.10.47.19_Phone-user.raw
It doesn’t matter. Whenever I flash a RAW, the phone goes to this encrypting process and then goes black. From there on, I can flash anything through adb sideload, fastboot or twrp…. It shows the boot logo, (possibly shows the dm-verity screen, depending on the set up), and goes off after about 2 seconds of boot animation.
Tested everything I could with TWRP: LCD, Touch, mounting partitions and storage seem to be working fine.
Tested everything I could with the factory RAW userdebug (using command fastboot oem enable-userdebug boots a very simple system (there’s an image below)): Again, LCD and touch work fine. Also, hard keys, wifi, Bluetooth, calling, messaging, 4G and both speakers are working.
And there we get to present time. I just don’t know what else I can do.
My next steps would be going into QFIL flashing. That would actually be new to me. But since I can use all these functions properly, it doesn’t seem to me that that’s the way to go.
Please help. I will take anything. Tell what I may have passed by. Send me the guides you think may help me, even if I’ve already tried.
I can give you any information you guys believe is pertinent.
I will start leaving here some info I think may help:

Help. Please
So. I was flashing a rooted rom to my phone using the auto flash script. In the process, the power went out and now it's a paperweight. When I try to get to any kind of recovery mode the screen will not come on. It vibrates like it is trying but it does not do anything. When I boot it up it seems like it is in fastboot since fastboot devices will show the phone. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get out of paperweight mode? I should throw in that I see this in the fastboot getvar command

How do I get it into EDL mode if the screen will not power on? Like I said it does a mild vibration when I try any combination. It goes into fastboot but I cannot see anything.
