Modemst1 and Modemst2 needed

Hello,
I've erased my modemst1 and modemst2 partitions for mistake, and now my redmi doesn't identify my SIM card. Can someone upload your backup, so I change it to my IMEI using any Hex Editor and flash it here. I already have G4's modemst1/2 but I'm not sure if they are all the same. If possible, send me your IMEI together, so it will be easier to find it using the hex editor.
Already tried flashing stock ROM and NON-HLOS.bin.

Flash stock rom via fastboot method... IT should work

Already did... No luck. I've tried to restore a TWRP backup, but somehow there was no EFS option to select.. There was just Boot, Aboot, Data, System, ... I've selected everything that I could but it didn't work.. Still no IMEI. I'm gonna try to shell nvbackup via adb but my hopes are real
I've flashed using Miflash. Could you suggest a rom or another method?

Hi buddy,
I'm really thankful for your help. I know some people on Xiaomi and they allowed me to send the mobile to the factory, they will fix it using the warranty. I've flashed the stock rom and the recovery as well. I hope they don't find out that I've flashed another rom before.
I'll get the mobile back in around 10 days. If they don't fix it so I'll need your help. I'll request here first and then by e-mail.
Thank you!

Bricked - Data Partition

I accidentally deleted the data partition. Everything else works fine including Recovery/Fastboot. Normally I'd be using the Mega Unbrick Guide to restore the partition, but not an option right now for the 5 (128GB). Assistance would be appreciated. Maybe flashing a userdata.img would work?

I'd recommend you to completely wipe and flash Stock OOS from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-5-2-7-1-1-ota-t3627003
That should sort all your problems related to partitioning. Let me know how it goes.

Already tried flashing the Full ROM earlier, but that doesn't fix the missing partition. Unless flashing with Stock Recovery would make a difference. Need a link to stock recovery to try that
Was looking into dumping partitions off a working OP5.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2450045
Don't have a second OP5 (128GB) to dump partitions, but I did generate some .img files using this method. Optimally, flashing a proper userdata.img through fastboot should fix the partition, I believe.

The partition doesn't exist right now. It cannot be mounted or formatted. If someone could use the guide above and pull a userdata.img from a 128GB OP5, pretty sure that would restore the partition if I flash it in fastboot.

Have you tried going into TWRP > Wipe> advance wipe > data >change or repair filesystem > change filesystem> ext4?
This should help.

You can also try restore the nandroid uploaded on my thread

how do you flash persist.img

how do you flash persist.img, wifi is messed up, lost mac address and i need to reflash persist.img but i dont know how

You will L1 forever if you flash persist.img which rom are you currently on? Persist.img extract from fast boot tgz then flash thru twrp but if I was you I would not flash it. have you tried deleting wifi mac.bin while mounting persist in twrp then restart

Hello,
If you don't see "Persist" partition as a partition choice in TWRP, it means you can't easily flash "Persist" partition in your actual TWRP version (for security reason...).

Hi guys,
Question, would it be possible to flash an official ROM in a way it includes the persist.img and thus repairing (by reinstalling) my corrupted persist?

Ok glad I could hel,if you didn't have that back the only solution will be to flash the persist image from the fastboot ROM , and that will also break you windvine L1. So always keep a back up of the persist partition some where, because this phones persist partition gets corrupted a lot if you like flashing ROMs.

Re-lock bootloader and anti roll back!

Hi, at the moment i'm on pixel experience and i wanted to go back to stock rom. I've read that if i use a fastboot rom of a previous version when i started to mod and lock bootloader with miflash i may cause a brick! It is true? How could I back to stock rom (11.0.3 EEA) and locking bootloader without risk? Thanks

When you flashed your fastboot (13.3.15 EEA) with miflash you selected clean all and lock or clean all? I also had 11.0.3 when i modded my phone!

When you say "wipe everything" you mean there's an option which says "wipe everything"? Sorry if this may be obvious when actually following the steps as I am still on stock with locked bootloader.

I meant if you have twrp, and you go to wipe, advance wipe, you wipe everything there. Apart from usb otg ( that is if you have one inserted) then you don't wipe it. And if someone says wipe everything and you know what you are doing you should understand fairly easy.

So persist is not located in that section to wipe?
My two previous phones were a galaxy note 4 and Xperia Z3 so I am not sure how they incorporated these partitions such as persist and vendor into twrp.
This has gone on longer than I expected, sorry about that. I will search for a screenshot or something to see for myself.
Edit: okay I believe you meant persist isn't mounted for you to wipe it.

When did you flash MIUI 10 on your mi 9t on my flash did you selected clean all and lock? If not then you locked bootloader?

don't wipe anything else than data on the K20 via twrp oO
if u want to go back to stock MiUI u have to make sure, to follow 2 points
1. use a fastboot rom and flash via MiFlash and
2. make sure the ARB Status on your Phone is the same like the one on the MiUI fastboot rom ( should be on 1 )
the MiFlash software will wipe your phone for you (so the option "clean all" should be used/checked), so just boot into fastboot and let the software to the work.
that's how i went from the xiaomi.eu DEV Rom back to MIUI EAA stable Rom.

My Arb Is 1 while the arb of the fastboot rom Is 0

Like i said, please stick to a full fastboot rom. If u are using a Mi 9T and want to go to EAA use the V10.3.15.0.PFJEUXM , for Global V11.0.1.0.PFJMIXM.
Those ROM's are on Anti 1, for the update on to a newer Version, just simply use the OTA after u flashed those files. U can find those files here:
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/
( u can filter the list .. search tab .. for fastboot and then just look for the Mi 9T )
