Hi mate have you tried flashing the stock firmware back to you'r tab ?
you ment to post this thread here.
forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=752
you could of read the guide before posting this
GUIDE] Recover your IMEI in 9 steps.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
this worked for me
What i did to get my IMEI back was to get the ATT or T mobile modem and just use ODIN (boot into that downloading screen) and install it in the PDA section (the modem zip file)
and it was good too cgo
I was even having some issues with stalled screens and so and that cleared up as well
If I had done this before attempting to flash the stock rom I might of been able to save friend files
But oh well

Oh wow this is serious business. Also wrong forum I guess. But the link above might help you. I tried on my s2 with no luck though

Accidentally Wiped OS and IMEI number from phone.

I accidentally wiped everything from my phone while using TWRP. This includes the OS and the IMEI number, baseband number, WIFI mac address etc. I download the stock ROM and flashed it but now my phone does not detect my SIM card or WIFI because of the missing IMEI number and baseband number. Is there any way i can get them back?
i think u installed rom of differrent model,so properly check it and download it acc to ur model,it helps.
Nope! You're busted! You can reinstall an OS, but addressing an IMEI number to your phone is afaik impossible. You now have a somewhat small tablet without network possibilities... To be short: a paperweight!

You CAN change IMEI, but discussing about it is forbidden in xda. The only way you would get help, is if you had a backup of your IMEI

Moto G4 Plus (XT1644) IMEI = 0 after Stock Flash

Hello, my G4 Plus reads IMEI 0 when *#06# in ROM, but I can read the correct IMEI from fastboot getvar imei and can see my correct IMEI in /proc/config/imei. Any help to restore my IMEI is appreciated, I will be happy to provide and test any information as needed.
Also, I can connect to my carrier, but I cannot use voice, data, or SMS. Sometimes it drops to no service.
Would anybody happen to know how to enable RNDIS + DM + MODEM mode on the G4?
you flashed wrong stock rom check again and flash correct one i did same once lost imei then flashed right one and got it back look into this thread you can find it https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/tale-woe-looking-xt1644-stock-rom-t3419649

Is your bootloader unlocked? If so I'd go to TWRP and flash the stock 93-14 N backup that's floating around somewhere on XDA.
Also, make sure to flash the radio and fastboot corresponding to your stock ROM version.
If you don't fix your phone though I'll take it

Did you make a imei backup Image the first time?
Gesendet von meinem Moto G (4) mit Tapatalk
I think the IMEI isn't erased. I had the same issue last month. There are different types of firmware(custom roms are based on them too) and they doesn't notice the IMEI If you flash the wrong one. So I would recommend to flash the right and if you do not know the right, try every (I suggest to test the Indian one first. In most cases it is the solution).

When you say 93-14 N do you mean the Nougat ROM or a firmware for the modem?

Yes, the N ROM that can be restored through TWRP.
By all means, also try flashing stock Nougat through fastboot.

That's not good idea to flash all available firmware. It can be old firmware and flashing old firmware (downgrade) can damage lots of things on your device.
First tell us which device you have and if your your phone is g4plus and not changed to normal g4. FingerPrint working correctly ?
Try "fastboot getvar all" command check if it shows your IMEI somewhere, and post result here. ( if it shows IMEI, then tell us and remove it and post.)

In my case I flashed all firmware included in android 6 (it's stock) from a custom android 7 build. I know it's an old thread but I'm still open to suggestions and hoping to fix this.
To make more sense, I downgraded from 7 to 6.

Do you think opening another thread with your first post here on XDA will give you the solution? I don't wanna be rude but there's a bunch of threads regarding that problems, from restoring EFS from a custom rom over to restore a persist file from a Moto G4.
If there would be a stable and proper solution it would have be posted here.
So you can try out the existing fixes or hope for a stock Oreo firmware to be released by Lenovo which may open up new ways to get this problem solved.

Ok thanks for ur help
Unfortunately, there is no fix or solution for imei. As for signal, that is efs, so you need to flash an Oreo ROM to get a working signal. Unfortunately even this does not always work now, but once you get working 4g etc, backup the efs partition in twrp. Do not lose this backup, you will need to use it often until/if ever, a dev finds a permanent fix.

I've also heard that people who have received ota and after flash the update the imei goes to 0 because of modemst1 and 2

I would stay away from ota, it is getting risky, there is something wrong with our devices due to 64bit Oreo. To be safe, stay within twrp. If you want the Oreo update, wait for a flashable version.

After using 8.1 Oreo custom ROM ( aex) for months I went to stock ROM (7.0). But it showing imei 0 . I flashed Oreo ROM again (this time pixel experience) to get imei back but still there is imei 0.

The Nokia 3.1 is a good option to get you by. Stay away from the g6 and e5 plays. Returned 2 of the g6 plays due to the same exact screen flickering and battery issues. And one e5 play due to a dead headphone jack.
Full treble support and 64 bit out of the box. Android One and it's stock beauty with a damn good camera and display. Only paid 100 USD for mine at Best Buy. Won't find a better phone under 200 bucks
