Verizon on Sprint HTC 10 - Sprint HTC 10 Questions & Answers

I am considering switching to Verizon and not sure if anyone’s successfully used Verizon on a Sprint 10, or even tried it.
I’m currently running stock Nougat, haven’t updated since July because HTC’s OTAs don’t play nice with TWRP last time I checked. Already manually unlocked my phone. Have not done SuperCID yet but will definitely do that before flashing anything.
Confused because AT&T and Tmo SIMs work fine and I get LTE instantly when I put them in - but when I put in a Verizon SIM (activated) I get nothing. I did enable Band 13 through cdmatool, and Verizon has Band 4 (which works fine with AT&T/Tmo) in my area, but no signal. This leads me to believe Sprint could have locked it on the stock rom, and enabling Verizon would be as simple as flashing leedroid or viper.
Or if that doesn’t work, I might have to RUU the latest Verizon update and hope for the best. And hopefully not completely brick my phone. Since I’m just testing at the moment, I want to be able to restore back to stock Sprint.
So the possibilities are: (after supercid)
1) flash leedroid or viper
2) select Sprint when installing
3) hope it was a lock on the Sprint rom and Verizon works
Or:
1) flash leedroid or viper
2) select Verizon when installing
Or:
1) erase modemst1 and modemst2
2) flash the Verizon radio over my current rom, no idea where to find a good .img for this
Or:
1) install the entire Verizon RUU
Any thoughts? Which method has the best chance of working? Can either of these brick my phone for good?
EDIT 1/26
Just tried wiping the radio, modemst1 and modemst2, and flashing the Verizon radio. Interestingly, sprint still works with this radio, though it may just be LTE that works. Verizon doesn't work, still thinks it's roaming just like on the sprint radio. So definitely a lock in the ROM.
Anyone wanting to try this - be aware that information such as unlock status are stored in the modemst partitions. So if you erase them, they will restore on the next reboot (anyone know what partition stores backups of these?) but if you manually unlocked your phone or added LTE bands with cdmatool, they will be restored to default.
Backup your radio partitions before doing anything:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p30 of=/sdcard/backup-radio.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p39 of=/sdcard/backup-modemst1.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p40 of=/sdcard/backup-modemst2.img
copy these to your computer.
To restore your sprint radios, boot to bootloader (not download mode) and:
Code:
fastboot flash radio "C:\path\to\files\backup-radio.img"
fastboot flash modemst1 "C:\path\to\files\backup-modemst1.img"
fastboot flash modemst2 "C:\path\to\files\backup-modemst2.img"
It might be possible to restore through dd, but it's extremely risky so use fastboot to do it.

(GUIDE)Convert XT1097, 1093, 1092, etc, to XT1095 Pure Edition.

UPDATE JULY 02, 2015.
IMPORTANT. From 5.1 update, the modems included on the update are FULLY compatible with all models, XT1097, 1092 and 1093 and all carriers ,so, you don't have to worry about losing IMEI, signal or data.
According to @thrill1985 the XT1092 in Germany Vodafone with the new modem of the 5.1 is not getting 4G/LTE signal BUT 3G, so if you are faccing the same issue just flash your stock modem. I am in XT1097 Mexico Nextel with stock modem 5.1 and I am getting no issues at all, could be your carrier
Friends, if you converted your beloved Moto X 2014 variant 1097, 1092, 1093 etc etc to the pure edition XT1095 using this post and getting the 5.0 lollipop OFFICIAL and you want to update to the final 5.1 OFFICIAL update please go to the second post. BUT if this is your first time trying to convert to pure edition PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST and in the instructions you will find when you are ready to flash the 5.1 official If you are on some variant of 5.0.x BUT your BL is locked and want to convert to 5.1 Pure edition please read till the end of how to unlock your bootloader and make your own backup.
UPDATE APRIL 01, 2015.
I've been receiving a lot of PM asking me about the update to 5.1, how to convert, what do they need to backup, etc etc. First my friends, I don't answer PM about "how to do this", that's why I create this post, so, if you read the entire post, use the "search button" and you still can't find your answer then post a comment and it will be answered as soon as possible. In other words "PLEASE DON'T SEND ME PM ASKING ME ABOUT SOMETHING SPECIFIC, READ!", here is all you need to convert to pure edition.
PURE EDITION CONVERTING.
Assuming that you are on 4.4.4 (doubt) proceed, but if you are on pure edition but you flashed your own modem go to post 2.
IF YOU ARE ON SOME STOCK VARIANT OF 5.0.x OF SOME CARRIER BUT HAS THE LOCKED BOOTLOADER PLEASE CONTINUE WITH THE POST, THE STEPS TO MAKE YOUR OWN BACKUP IS THE SAME FOR 4.4.4 AND 5.0.x.
This guide is to convert any version of XT109x to XT1095 in order to get the updates faster and cleaner, this process is good for every model, XT1097, XT1085, XT1093, etc etc.
The problem comes when the people dont read the entire post or think that jumping one step will be safe for them...
Taking that as a base I have to recognize that since I made this post a lot of Moto X 2014 variants are in the market right now and is almost impossible to make a guide for every model for every company out there so, I am going to make a simple list and you should follow each step in order to avoid lost signal, no IMEI, etc.
WARNING!!!!
By now you should have installed the ADB drivers and the Motorola USB Drivers as well. I do not take responsability if you do not know when I am writing those commands.
Unlocking your bootloader and taking this guide is your OWN responsability and I am not responsable for bricked devices, ebola, zombies of if your girlfriend leaves you for being such a nerd like me...
STEP 1. Unlock your bootloader. You should be able to unlock your bootloader, please refer to the next link post to check if your phone is available to it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-moto-x-2014-t2876773
The post says that is only for pure version, but it works in any.
STEP 2. Root. If you was able to unlock your bootloader, now you have to have root access. Please refer to this post to do it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/development/pure-edition-superboot-style-root-motox-t2889264. WARNING. This is only when you are in KitKat, if you do this on Lollipop you will have a bootloop and you will have to flash a new system.
STEP 3. BACKUP. This is a must do! Only for your own health. After the root you will be able to make and entire full backup of your system, and maybe you can share it with us and make a big list of them, so anyone could use them in case of panic or nuclear war... :laugh:
Please connect your phone with USB debugging on, and in the carpet where you have the ADB and FASTBOOT command open a MSDOS window and enter this commands.
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/partition of=/sdcard/gtp.bin
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/motoboot of=/sdcard/motoboot.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/logo of=/sdcard/logo.bin
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system of=/sdcard/system.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem of=/sdcard/NON-HLOS.bin
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fsg of=/sdcard/fsg.bin
After that, the entire dump system will be on your phone SD CARD, now you can copy to any folder you want, even make a ZIP file and upload it to the cloud to have it as a life savior. :highfive:
STEP 4. BACKUP IMEI. although is hard to lost IMEI is good to have it as a backup., some folks are saying that after a bad system flashing or a lot of flashing the system became corrupt and make them lost the IMEE....as the step 3 follow this commands.
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds of=/sdcard/pds.img
And that's it, after those steps you can follow down and see how to convert your XT10xx version to the Pure Edition XT1095... Hurray!!!!
There is only one Pure edition, and that is the XT1095 model, not even if you bought your Moto X on Motorola (Motomaker) outside the United States. There a lot of variants that Motorola is selling throw their website around the world, but only the american version, XT1095 is the pure edition, so please consider that.
EXAMPLE. All XT1097 brand firmwares are compatible with all XT1097 around the world, it means, if for some reason you mess your Canadian XT1097 and you loose signal, you can flash the Brazilian version of XT1097 and your phone will have signal again, that doesn't mean that the baseband is 100% compatible with your carrier, but at least you won't be stuck with no signal; this apply to all Moto X variants.
THIS IS NOT A FULL CREDIT TUTO... IS AN ALL-IN-ONE GUIDE AND TAKING MY OWN EXPERIENCE SHOULD BE WORK IN ANY MODEL, 1097, 1092, 1093, etc..
If you are in XT109x Android 4.4.4 and you have not received the OTA for Lollipop or if you tried to sideload the OTA via ADB and did not worked this is for you, just follow the STEPS A to B, but...
YOU HAVE 5.0.X Version. unfortunately I don't have the full system of the 5.0 pure edition so, if you can find it please comment and the link will be added.
NOTE. You can't just flash a version of 5.0 Pure edition (via TWRP) and that's because most of those ZIP only contains system and boot (kernel); the recovery and modems are not touch by those ZIP's, even if the zip contains the modem your phone is rooted and the system partition has changed; your phone will be "partial Pure Edition", so please, don't do that..
By now, the only certain way I have to convert to pure edition, both 5.0.x and kitkat is to downgrade,then install the OTA's one by one, THIS ONLY APPLIES IF YOU ARE IN SOME VARIANT OF XT109X firmwares. I JUST LEAVE HERE AS A REMINDER; PLEASE IGNORE.
STEP A. FIRMWARES
To convert XT1097, 1092, 1083, etc, to 1095 and then to Lollipop 5.0, you should download those two files.
The first one is the XT1095 Pure Edition 4.4.4 and this is the link. (for respect, the original uploader is @SolarTrans)
https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=227f163cb35629da&id=227F163CB35629DA%2120267&ithint=folder,&authkey=!AMWPTB3ICDtezYs
Is the middle one. The Lollipop 5.0 OTA is the one on the right.
Extract the firmware in the same carpet where the ADB and mfastboot files are.
To convert directly to 5.1 please use this link instead. Thanks to @AGISCI for providing the links.
http://www.filefactory.com/folder/dd05c058d3ff8dbe/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=25 The one you are looking for the Pure edition is the VICTARA_TMO_XT1095
Extract the firmware in the same carpet where the ADB and mfastboot files are.
Ok. Lets go.
NOTE: YOU JUST CAN'T FLASH THE 5.0 OVER THE 4.4.4 LIKE THE 5.1, BECAUSE THE MODEMS OF THE FIRST ONE (5.0) ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ALL THE VARIANTS OF THE XT109x. IF YOU DECIDED TO GO FROM 4.4.4 TO 5.1 JUST GO TO POST 2, BUT IF YOU WANT TO STAY ON 5.0 PLEASE READ FROM HERE TO THE END.
Go to he carpet where you extracted the 4.4.4 XT1095 firmware and type these commands
Code:
adb reboot bootloader ( your phone should reboot to bootloader)
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot reboot
Wait till your phone reboot and you will see that now you are in 4.4.4 XT1095 Pure Edition.
STEP B. UPGRADING LOLLIPOP.
After the reboot save the Lollipop OTA file to your internal SD memory.
. Enter bootloader of your phone, select recovery and you will see the android robot lying down with the cheast open, press volume up and power at the same time, release the power button after at least three seconds and you will be enter the stock recovery... choose "install from SD card", select the file of Lollipop you saved before and wait till the magic happens.
When the phones reboots you will be on Lollipop.. but not so fast, do not enter any account and skip all the proccess, go to "settings" and make a "factory reset" just to be sure that all traces of KitKat are erased.
Let the phone reboot...
Wait till you phone reboots and you will be on Android 5 Official, but you will not be able to get any signal, even entering to "settings" and trying to choose the signal manually, the phone will be refused to connect to any signal. So this is where we use the backup of our modem/baseband we did before.
If your phone is able to get signal CONGRATULATIONS!!! you only have to enter the Access points manually, but if you do not...
IF YOU WANT TO STAY ON 5.0 PURE EDITION FOLLOW NEXT STEPS, IF YOU WANT TO UPDATE TO 5.1 JUST GO TO THE END OF THE POST AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCCTIONS, YOUR SIGNAL WILL BE RESTORED WITH THE 5.1 OTA.
Copy the files "NON-HLOS.bin" and "fsg.bin" to the carpet where "mfastboot" is. Rename "fsg.bin" to "fsg.mbn"
BE VERY PATIENT WITH THIS, because according to some people, flashing only these files WITHOUT erasing modems you should be able to get signal, so
with your phone in bootloader and in mfastboot mode type
Code:
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot reboot
After this, your phone should reboot and get signal... but if do not happen (like me) try this.
with you phone in bootloader and in mfastboot mode type
Code:
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot reboot
After the reboot you should have signal yes or yes.. REGARDS!!!! you are now enjoying the sweet of Official Lollipop. :laugh:

Now, if you want the 5.1 Update:
Find the 5.1 ZIP (don't have it, don't know where to is it and we are not allowed to post information about it because is a SOAK test, please don't ask)
Save it to your internal SD
Reboot your phone into bootloader
Once in bootloader select "Recovery" and your phone will show and android lying down with chest open.
Press power and volume up for at least three seconds, then release volume and power button.
When the dialog appers, select "Install zip", select the location and that's it.
Android 5.1 now is compatible with all the bands of XT1097, it means that after the update from 4.4.4 to 5.0 your signal is lost, but if you update straigh 5.0 to 5.1 your signal will be restored, don't know if this applies to all variants, please comment.
Firmware and modems
OK, if you are here you have 3 possibles scenarios.
1. You are on 4.4.4 (really?) and want to update to 5.1 official.
2. You are on a converted version of some variant, like XT1097, 1092, etc using this post early this year and you want to update to 5.1 OFFICIAL, because even you are receiving the OTA you are not able to install it for some error showing on the stock recovery.
3. You are on 5.0.x of some carrier (like me), your BL is unlocked and want to convert to the pure edition 5.1 official.
IMPORTANT. From 5.1 update, the modems included on the update are FULLY compatible with all models, XT1097, 1092 and 1093 and all carriers ,so, you don't have to worry about losing IMEI, signal or data.
SCENARIO 1, 2 and 3.
Download the ENTIRE SYSTEM of the 5.1 of this link
http://www.filefactory.com/folder/dd05c058d3ff8dbe/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=25&page=1
The one we are going to use is the VICTARA_TMO_XT1095_5.1_LPE23.32-21.3_cid9_CFC.xml.zip
Thanks to @AGISCI and his post to provide the links. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/5-1-firmwares-t3148211
Extract all the files on the carpet where the ADB and FASTBOOT files are.
After that you will only have to put your phone on BOOTLOADER MODE, connect it to your PC and type this to check if your computer recognices your phone: fastboot devices and if you see the serial number of your phone you are ready to go.
By now you are going to flash all the files you need to be on 5.1 pure edition, you will loose all your partitions and root and all your mods.
NOTE. IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE FLASHING FILES AND WANT TO KEEP SOME PARTITIONS PLEASE REFER BELOW THIS CODE; IF YOU DONT HAVE IDEA WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT FLASH THIS CODE
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase userdata (optional)
fastboot erase cache (optional)
fastboot reboot
Let me explain the files
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin - Will flash the new partition of the system and data to receive the new update, is not a mandatory flash, like some people are reporting, you just can skip this if you want, but I dont recommend if you are on 5.0.x
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img - The BL version 60.16, you can skip this for sure if you are on 5.0 and 4.4.4, but if you are on 5.0.x is a must-flash.
fastboot reboot-bootloader - reboot the bootloader
fastboot flash logo logo.bin - the boot logo, is optional in any case
fastboot flash boot boot.img - kernel, you have to flash it
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - Stock recovery, you can skip it to keep the TWRP
fastboot flash system system.img - full 5.1 system, must flash
fastboot erase modemst1 - erase old baseband
fastboot erase modemst2- erase old baseband
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn - flash the new baseband, must flash
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin - flash the new baseband, must flash
fastboot erase userdata - optional for all users, but in order to avoid problems, must do it.
fastboot erase cache- optional for all users, but in order to avoid problems, must do it.
fastboot reboot - say no more.
After that your phone is now
Enjoy!!!

thank you!
I think not, because you changed the Baseband, but untill a update arrives I am not complety sure.
In any case just flash again the baseband of 4.4.4 Pure edition, sideload or push the OTA of the new version of Lollipop to the SD and everything should be ok.

Friends, reading a lot I was able to convert my beloved brand new (2 days old) XT1097 Nextel Mexico Moto X 2014 to the Pure edition XT1095. A lot of people says that the XT1097 bought from Motorola is Pure edition but thats not true, the only pure edition is and only will be the XT1095.

Yes, here in Latin America is the XT1097 pure edition too. The difference are the LTE bands as far I know. I been searching and i found that the first device to get the updates is the 1095 and the others "pure edition" later.
This guide is for those who don't want to wait for the update or like in my case are locked to a carrier.

The long wait was because there was a severe sms bug in lollipop, which needed to be analyzed and fixed before the update could continue. Nexus devices had the lollipop pulled because of this bug

That's right. But after 2 soaks we are in Official Lollipop. Motorola is pushing the official update to "pure edition" devices and maybe later January the carriers will update
This is great, I'll follow this guide early next year
I havent flashed anything yet (I decided to play a while with my now rooted and unblocked phone due to Lollipop not being fully compatible with stuff) but I did boot my moto with the openrecovery-twrp'''''.img and performed a backup. I also did the modem dump and I'm currently uploading both, the twrp backup and the modem stuff. Just in case anyone needs an ass saver. Im adding the links as soon as they finish being uploaded
One question, I know it is possible to dump the original recovery the same way as the modem files, I supose you just need to save it "sdcard/recovery.img" but, is it worth dumping? I mean I don't see anyone suggesting it or asking for it, is it not necesary?

1. Good my friend, if you have the TWRP backup of your Nextel fimware tell me were the links are because mine was corrupted and now I dont have the original file
2. Of course you can pull the original recovery the same way you pulled out the modem, in fact, you can pull the entire system that way, but in our case we only need the modem/baseband because flashing an entire new firmware makes you loose signal, and the modems for differents versions of models, like 1095, 97 or 92 are differents, but the recovery is the same.
In case something/someone messed up
Here is the TWRP backup from my Nextel Moto X, sadly for everyone I did not save the original recovery. If you do have the stock recovery it would be very much apreciated.
Just modem's files: Modem Nextel xt1097
TWRP stock backup: 4.4.4 xt1097 Nextel
OTA update for Nextel XT1097 Blur_Version.21.27.3.victara_niimx.niimx.en.MX

The ATT variant (US) of the XT1097 cannot unlock bootloader at this time.

Att and when you say spaces are you referring to the # signs? I'm just surprised as it seems you are the only one that had been able to unlock ATT moto x 2nd generation bootloader which seems hard to believe but I'm not saying you didn't do it. Could you make a tutorial on how you achieved what so many others can't. Thanks

Mexico and Brazil (along with other countries) have non-ATT branded XT1097. It's just the ATT version that is blocked. Which is all XT1097 in the US.

Time without a signal?

I've flashed a number of ROMs on my XT1575 (thank you devs for much hard work). A week ago I noticed that the second greatest consumer of battery on my phone was Cellular Standby and my "Time Without A Signal" was running 35-65% even though I'm in the middle of Manhattan with strong LTE service. I've flashed three different ROMs, always wiping and doing clean installs, and I have the same problem with all three. Could this be a modem problem? Should I flash a stock modem or a custom modem? I've tried different settings and got the same result. What am I missing?
If you have a TWRP backup of your EFS I'd try restoring that.
Another thing to try might be grabbing the firmware that matches yours from this thread and flashing your modem again.
Code:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
I'm not very familiar with flashing via ADB (I've done it but not often enough to be comfortable with it). I flash via TWRP all the time. Is there a method of reflashing the modem that I can do on the phone via TWRP or must I go the ADB route?

Tips for the xt1050 variant (More to come, maybe, lol)

Ok guys if you're like me and have unlocked your bootloader and installed a custom ROM coming from KitKat or below, you probably noticed no speakerphone capabilities.
Here's how to work around that:
First have adb and fastboot set up along with the Motorola drivers.
Here's what I did:
Download and extract bootloader.zip from the mega download link.
Put the phone in fastboot
Open command prompt/terminal
CD /adb (or whatever adb and fastboot are located)
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
Let it run then:
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
Let that run. And voila, speakerphone shall work.
Note: this may work on other variants who have installed a custom ROM coming from KitKat, just update gpt/motoboot/modem/fsg for your variant.
Attached are for the xt1050, they are from the xt1060 variant. Will not brick your phone. I'm speaking from personal experience.
For gpt and motoboot=> https://mega.nz/#!xAYSEDaB!vQ2jIUlQ17Rx1OyWK5VpFY--VfWxPuyDcl9Tj-j4LRk
For vzw modem=> https://mega.nz/#!0URBnJwK!bLYJI87ivbT5a8RLBxyQQWNEnvrXrVPavuPd3-hmWEA
The above modem will allow you to use a Verizon sim card that's already active if your current modem won't allow it as mine didn't but my other Moto x did, (vz will NOT activate the xt1050 x, I was told by a vzw CSR that it can be put on a postpaid account, I'm unsure)
Also if you use GSM on this phone, you would be getting Hspa data, I was told by a member on here(XDA) that I could flash the non-hlos.bin and fsg.mbn from either the xt1058 or xt1053 to get LTE on AT&T towers. I have not been able to do so successfully, sticks on H+. If anyone knows how, please let me know.

[Guide] How to solve problem IMEI 0 in Moto G5 Plus

Hi guys , this is one of my first contributions were i will explain how to recover the IMEI that some of us lost when flashing a 8.1 rom (in my case Pixel Experience) and when tried to return a stock we got the surprise that the IMEI had been erased and showed 0. Well, to the point:
You will need:
- TWRP 3.2.1: http://www.mediafire.com/file/8tz88d2y2v2i6ih/twrp-3.2.1-0-potter.img.zip
- Scripts:
Flash stock rom: http://www.mediafire.com/file/c0s90358uub78l4/Flash_Moto_G5_plus.bat
Relock Bootloader: http://www.mediafire.com/file/qn2yiih1zehdcpz/Relock_Bootloader_Moto_G5_Plus.bat
- Rom Pixel Experience 8.1: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-...ience-t3704064
- Rom stock of your preference (tested with NPN25.137-83): https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware...ficial/RETAIL/
- And patience; P
Step by step:
1. Flash TWRP.
2. Flash Pixel Experience rom if we haven't flashed yet.
3. Turn on phone with flashed rom to obtain network signal
4. Here we will get the IMEI and only have 3g signal, so we need to restart the phone in bootloader mode and type in fastboot "fastboot erase modemst1" and "fastboot erase modemst2", these two command will give us IMEI and 4g signal.*
5. Turn on Pixel Experience again to obtain 4g(verify it pls), shutdown and enter bootloader mode.
6. In this point -and the most important to obtain IMEI and signal again- we must flash our phone with desired a right stock rom, execute fastboot command(if your want yo relock bootloader or not use the right posted above), just don't write "fastboot erase modemst1" and "fastboot erase modemst2"(in the scripts above are erased if you want to execute all in one time), because if we don't erase those two commands we will not obtain IMEI and signal.
7. We wait until finishes and write "fastboot reboot" and wait to turn on.
Y voilà!! you now have your phone with IMEI and bootloader relocked!!!!
* NOTE: It's very important to turn on the phone once flashed Pixel Experience to obtain IMEI info and turn on again to obtain 4G.
** voLTE not working.
Well I hope this guide has been as clear and understandable as possible, if there are any mistakes let me know since i'm a noob in this. Oh and sorry for my bad english lol.

Yeah, seems we can only get 4g at this moment, because we are using generics modems from the Pixel Experience. I think we will need to wait until Google deploys 8.0 with the official modems to obtain voLTE
I'm still just getting 2g. Anyway to get to 4g. I've fastboot flashed the modem files mentioned (erased). Thanks. T-Mobile USA.
Hello, @Castell93 and thank you very much for this guide. I just want to ask you a question: should I be cautious to go fastboot stock if I'm in this situation: latest 8.1 oreo, then twrp flashable stock nougat (or debloated), then fastboot stock ? I would like to try to go to stock and re-lock bootloader so I can get new OTAs. But now I once went to Oreo roms, I'm afraid to go back to fastboot stock. Hope you can help me.
Thanks for this guide!
Successfully restored LTE on resurrection remix ROM with this guide. Didn't even have to go back to stock. Thanks a ton! I was really struggling with 3g

The same happens to me, I can not get the imei, or the 4G in any step, I only have 3G. After executing the commands, I have no signal, and when searching for a signal manually, it signals me an error.
Me pasa lo mismo, no consigo obtener el imei, o el 4G en ningún paso, solo me queda en 3G. Despues de ejecutar los comandos, no tengo señal, y al buscar señal manualmente me señala error.
Moto G5 Plus

Restoring Moto G5 Stock...why so difficult?

Just struggled for the last 5 hours or so trying to get my Moto G5 Plus back to stock firmware. It turns out I had to install Pixel ROM to get any kind of cellular signal / SIM card reading, then reinstall what my best guess was as to the correct stock firmware leaving out the modemst1 and modemst2 fastboot commands, relock the bootloader, and then install the stock firmware again, leaving out the modemst1 and modemst2 fastboot commands again. Doesn't sound so bad, right? Well, if there was a more intuitive way of going about doing it, and better information as to which firmware you need (as there are about 15 different versions - I had to guess), it may have taken me 20 minutes total. Unbelievable.
Does anyone know why this is so difficult or is it simply by design? And why does the stock contain corrupt modem software? I'd expect it to be working in one, single package, including locking the bootloader.
Maybe I'm missing something here. Any ideas?
