No one has it, and I really mean no one. I called AT&T and Huawei as well and they don't have it. We're out of luck.

Please do a full backup of the bootloader! So we all can fix our device..!
The procedure is easy and you just take about 8 minutes..
You have to download this tool (for windows)
http://www.roadkil.net/program.php?ProgramID=12
1- Download the tool "Roadkil's Disk Image"
2- Enter to pink screen (volume up and down, then power on)
3- Connect your phone to the computer through the backside usb port (its more safe)
4- Run the tool
5- Click on the "Store Image" tab.
6- In "Store Image to" click the combobox and choose "Physical Disk #" ("#" is a number)
* If there are more than one "Physical Disk #", then you have to choose the one that is about 3.6gb.. This part is very important.. if you give us a backup from another disk, it will leave our phone unusable.
*To be sure that that Physical Disk you choose is the Huawei u8800-51, You can run the tool again (because it has to refresh) without the phone connected, then check which disks are available. Then, close the tool again, connect the device (in pink screen), run the tool, and check what physical disk was added. But it will be about 3.6gb.
7- In "source file", save the file as "u8800.img" in a folder with more than 4gb of storage available.
*There is no risk for you, as it is just data copying, not writting. The risk is for us if you gave us a wrong file hehe..
*If you compress the "u8800.img" file into a "rar" file, the size will be about 700 mb, then please, upload the file into mediafire or some file hosting service.
Thanks man! It will be very useful to many people!
----
*For the ones who do the restore from the file, they have to do something to get the "u8800.img" to work. I will post here what do they have to do before writing to the disk, so Don't restore until I explain it here, or it wont work! and you may have errors!

im about to do it now and sorry im late i never got a chance to do it.

Its not letting me run the program.

Ok I will post the tutorial later.. But about the 3g.. It is working, but you have to do factory reset after you restore from the linux backup..
Also, you will have the IMEI of the person who did the backup.. I tried to restore mine and I did it, but when I restored it, the 3g stopped working.. But in "about" it showed me my imei.. My IMEI backup was made when I already updated to u8800pro..
Maybe the files that this tool (5iromtoolbox) backup are the key for having 3g in the u8800pro rom.. (also with the libril-qc-1).. I dont know.. we should test it later..
Remember.. keep the original IMEI (not yours) and you will have 3g or H+.. whathever--
Advices:
- Do the full backup in Linux
- Backup IMEI (5iromtoolbox)
- Backup CWM
- Backup APN

How to flash the phone with this image? Please help, i need to restore one u8800-51

Restore IMEI and radiomodule
I`m from Russia, sorry for my english
I have too U8800-51 (Impulse 4g) from USA. I bricked him after flash U8800 firmware. I rebuilt my U8800-51 in service center and flashed "U8800-51_dload Froyo Original" and my firmware was from U8800pro. And also changed my IMEI and stopped working 3G and GPS.
Before bricked I am backup my original IMEI with "ToolBox5iromV1.0.4.2.apk".
Today I restored my IMEI from my backup. With the IMEI restored RADIO module (№ 203022) and again began to work 3G and GPS. I am so happy now.
You can do it too:
1. Do the ROOT with "DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT_zergRush_busybox_su.zip".
2. Install "ToolBox5iromV1.0.4.2.apk".
3. Restored your IMEI or my IMEI (if you want) with original radio module of U8800-51 (Impulse 4G) AT&T.
My IMEI link: narod.ru/disk/45304379001.3238bc381c90a94603de19359eda2e72/IMEI_U8800-51_(Impulse_4g)_ORIGINAL_buckup.zip.html

My Radio version changed from 203023 to 203022.
Working HSDPA, HSUPA. HSPA+ probably not works, but in RF not working HSPA+.
You can to try restore my IMEI, before backup your IMEI and if 3G not workingб you return back IMEI

Skipped, can you do a backup of your IMEI when running froyo. Ill restore it and see if I get 3G

I really was glad to find this post, only to find that the link that may have originally worked only downloads a virus to your pc.
I really hope someone has a restore image that I could use. I am bricked until I find a working one.

imei repair solved for letv max 2

before i asked many people for fix but no correct solution is got but ( thanks for devs support). now i experimented and solved imei and efs partition currupted by qcn method
NOTE: ( third party qualcomm imei changing softwares will not work i tried many but no use)
steps
1. first download tools and install
2. go to qpst.exe in c:/programfiles/qualcomm/bin/qpst
3. now connect your phone open port by dialing(*#*#76937#*#) in stock
4. check whether qualcomm diagnostic port is enabled or not in device manager
5. if it shown enabled and device info its connected through diag port in qpst
6. now click software download and take backup of ur partition and save as (.qcn) and click on start it will read ur partition and
xx.qcn file will created(xx is any name)
7. now open hex editor search your imei number with [08xa] x is your starting digit of imei example(087a) for second imei click
find next option
8. now open your imei convertor and palce your imei and click convert
9. replace that converted imei in the form of hexadcimal replace with old imei same for second imei
10. important thing is while saving the file only by (save as) which is important if any mistake is happen we cant recover after
restoring in efs partition.
11. after saving again go to qpst npw go to restore option now click on start .
thats it! you got imei and signal:laugh::laugh::laugh:
i struggled 3 days for this to find correct way recover my ime
tools here

From what I understand I guess you lost your phone.
You should have your EFS partition backup as it probably contains all the IMEI information from your phone. I can't imagine an EFS partition from other phone working into yours without duplicating an existing IMEI.

Did you backup the EFS partition before starting changing ROMs over and over?
If yes, try restoring it.
If not, nothing to do.

I don´t have the option
I have a Lecco Le x626 but when I write the code #*#76937#*# only appear one option "Sleep Sing On" no more what do I do for activate to option necessary for that thanks

maybe a stupid question, but if I do a full backup including nandroid via TWRP before flashing anything, will the imeis be included? thanks

Only if you check EFS partition to be made a backup, otherwise IMEI will not backup.

Sadly, the x626 (a.k.a Le S3) is a MediaTek Device, so no Qualcom Mode available.

Update H815 to v29a (with backup of v20g)

After considering the pros and cons of upgrading (mainly I would like to see if it fixes issues that I am experiencing with custom roms), I have decided that I would like to upgrade the firmware on my G4 to v29a. However, I would like to make a backup of my current firmware (I believe booloader and modem are the parts that cannot be backed up with TWRP), and I was wondering how I would back those up.
Also, should I need to restore these backups, how would I do it?
Thanks

Latest unofficial TWRP backups bootloader and firmware (if you select it)
Nevertheless I ALWAYS recommend to do a backup with SALT at least once as this backups really EVERYTHING ( full mode can even backup your full internal storage which can NOT be done with TWRP) . A SALT backup is just a double protection as a full TWRP backup is usually all you need.
Restore in TWRP your TWRP backup and for SALT backup files you would use TWRP plus the dd command in an adb shell if needed (e.g. dd if=/sdcard/cust.image of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/cust).
But again: restoring SALT backup files is for the worst case only.. But for that case it's good to have them..

I have just tried to do a backup with SALT, and it was working really well and then it froze on the System backup. Looking in the log, it appears there has been a timeout error. Could this have been because my Ubuntu VM locked whilst the backup was happening?

Well there is one open issue in SALT atm: it does not warn you about too less disk space. The result is it freezes on backup if you have not 32 GB disk space available and choosen the full backup.
In VirtualBox you can setup shared folders which then can be auto mounted on FWUL (choose persistent folder and to auto mount in vbox settings)
Choose a folder with at least 32 GB free space and choose that one in SALT.

What FWUL version? Persistent or forgetful? If forgetful the disk size is defined by the RAM. If persistent the max avail is 30 GB. So out of the box none of them can handle a full backup atm without modifications..
...or do you have mounted a 58 GB disk in vbox and store the backup there?
Some devices / firmwares got a timeout issue like you describe in big partitions. I adjusted the timeouts already and fixed it for the most ppl. If that happens go to advanced menu and grab the log. Use a pastebin service like hastebin or pastebin and share the link

I wasn't running it in FWUL - I already had a Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS VM set up so I was backing up in there, and the allocated disk space for the VM had 58GB free. It only had 4GB RAM allocated though, so maybe this caused an issue. I can try again on a true Ubuntu machine to see if the VM was the issue

I just ran it on a native Ubuntu machine and it worked perfectly - I think the USB timeout must have been my VM.
Just out of interest, looking at the files, I can see a modem file (and also modemst1 and modemst2 - If I use the modem backup, do I need to flash these as well?), but I can't see a bootloader file. Is it under a different name?
Finally, now that I have a backup, where would you recommend getting the v29a files and how would you recommend flashing them?

Nope modemst1 and 2 are when you have issues with your imei. Nothing which you need to restore usually. Those are also get backuped by TWRP when you choose EFS.
Regarding the way to go to N? Well when you're unlocked and you have TWRP: flash the zip from @kessaras . If you flash the full ROM ensure that it does not contain the recovery image as it would overwrite TWRP. I would also remove the laf file from there to ensure SALT will continue to work (some ppl have issues on N laf).

[needed] persist.img (persist partition)

can someone point me towards a persist.img, or make a backup on their own Moto G4 Plus and sent it to me please.
i've backed up mine, but it seems to be corrupted and prevents me from using the cellular part of the phone.
thanks !

Little bump on this thread
After some more reading i figured that i appearantly whiped my EFS (NV) items from my phone by moving the persist directory. Came accros a few post specifying Qualcomm's QPST software in order to restore the EFS items. I've booted the phone in diag mode and can make a backup up my EFS (NV) items using the Backup option in QPST Software Download.
But since my IMEI is now 0 (on both SIM slots) i can't seem to find the position of the IMEI number in a HEX editor.
I'm following this tutuorial which seems (in my opinion) the most viable one for succes.
So what i need is a QCN backup of a working Motorola G4 Plus with the IMEI numbers replaced. (say 0X1A1111111111 and 0X2A222222222)

Hi, i am sure noone would like to share his NV-Backup to any other user. This IMEI is uniqe like a MAC-Address. Never saw a replacement of an IMEI in this way. You can try to download an app, which gives you a fake IMEI, use IMEI Analyser (for ex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZzZ0yhkxX0). I also tried this on my MOTO G and it works perfectly. Root is needed.

I've got both my IMEI numbers (which i grabbed from the sticker behind the back cover)
Problem is, i don't know where to insert them in Qualcomms QCN file since (according to tutorials) i have to search for 08xA (where x is the first number of my IMEI). Which in my case is reset to 0. Searching for 080A doesn't yield any results

Tried several of those apps, don't seem to work on my phone (which is rooted) Als tried some IMEI rewrite apps offered by the Xposed framework. No dice.
NV-Backup would be best, i just need to figure out where to insert my own IMEI in that file. So if someone could remove both of their IMEI's from the NV-Backup and replace them with (lets say) 08 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 and 08 22 22 22 22 22 22 that would be great.

@populus_ maybe this could help you: [Guide] [XT16XX] [Solve] Moto G4/Plus IMEI=0 issue

Thanks for the heads up. But unfortunately i don't have the persist partition any more. Only solution i could find is that i hook my G4 Plus up to a UMT Box (IMEI repair)

The tutorial which I mentioned doesnt need persist partition. You should be on your own persist and not of someone elses, thats the criteria.
You can recover your both IMEIs like I was able to do and many other Moto G4 Plus users too.
