I accidentally executed the "fastboot erase all" and now the IMEI is gone. I have stock firmware but it is not able to bring the imei number back. But the interesting this is that "fastboot getvar imei" still shows the imei of my device. So, I think Moto e2 Xt1521 stores imei is some partition and "fastboot erase all" erased that partition. So, here is what I'm thinking :
1) Since the partition was only erased, there could be some way to get the erased data back, like we recover data from a formatted partition on PC.
2) Since I have my original IMEI couldn't I right the data back on the partition ?
3) Take someone else partitions copy and flash it into mine phone.
4) Use xposed framework to register a random/original imei.
I tried method 4 but it's not working. Also I found online that "fastboot oem writeimei" could write new imei. But the questions still remains the same; Android takes its imei from the partition rather than "fastboot getvar imei".
Without IMEI I'm not able to make any calls and so technically my phone is useless now.
Any suggestions ?
EDIT:
I have installed "IMEI changer pro" (XPOSED ) and here is what I found.
1) *#06# gives me my new imei but *#*#4636#*#* still shows IMEI: 0
So, I think the network is checking the system IMEI which is shown by #*#*4636#*#*
This post says
1. Dhob and Hob are nothing but plain text partitions, Dhob is dynamic hob and Hob is static Hob.
2. Dhob stores cryptotext by default, this crypto text contains information like Imei, ESN, Meid etc.
3. The Hob partition is a XML formatted plain-text file that contains Data which i am not sure about.
4. Uses a PBKDF2 key for encryption and decryption of Dhob.
5. The size field in Hob is Hex. So, 16 is 22 and 32 is 50.
6. The modem updates NV items on the fly which is why you can get 0 and null IMEI by fiddling.
7. In case the IMEI doesn't match with equipment then NV item is made 0.
8. EFS is created on the go not sure.

This means that the modem updates the NV and that is where we need to strike.
But getting the right IMEI and making call with SIM are two different things. Here my aim is to make call. Any suggestions here ???
Request:
There is a slight chance that flashing hob, dhob and fsc might bring my signal back. So anyone could give me the image of these will be helpful. Here is the command to get these files (MOTO E2 2015 XT1521 )
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/hob of=/sdcard/hob.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/dhob of=/sdcard/dhob.img
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fsc of=/sdcard/fsc.img

Yes I have tried android 5.0.2 , 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 but none is working. I found on the internet that flashing hob, dhob and fsc partition could get my signal back but making calls and sms might not work. I have updated my question. Please check.
Okay, if I understood correctly, you flashed the hob,dhob and fsc images, but your IMEI still doesn't appear.
Did you try with one of these three images?, Maybe if you try with another image of hob, dhob or fsc of another link you will get your IMEI, but the information you had says that the IMEI need to be the same of your device, or of the wrong way you IMEI will appear like a 0, did you think on this when you flash your images?
Well, a reflash is not a bad idea

I will try with one of the three file. Could you please give me images of hob, dhob, fsc because the one I'm having now is of different phone (moto g). Yes I thought over IMEI: 0 condition and here is what I was thinking:
1) "fastboot oem writeimei <imei>" could write new imei but the bootloader throws me an error of "permission denied". So, if somehow I get the permission and write the same imei as on the hob and dhob then my device might work.
2) Through some Xposed module I could register on the network. (I have never developed any xposed module but this might work)
Any suggestions ??

Sorry but before you loss the IMEI you should have a EFS backup, this thing is for help you if you lose your IMEI
I don't have anymore a XT1254 but I can say that if I have a EFS backup I can't share it with you because turbo still appears an IMEI = 0
Flashing another custom ROM maybe can fix that, I haven't left an IMEI, so I don't know how to help you but maybe here can
Good luck

Thanks for the promt response.... Appreciate your inputs but I thought I read somewhere that even if i flash back the 3 files viz. Fsc, hob and dhob I won't get back imei (will remain 0) but calling works.... Currently my phone is just a WiFi tab so anything is better than that

Okay so I've gotten the qualcomm unlock to work, but it only works on Stock, Freshly flashed, OxyOS; all other ROM I've tried have had Diag mode disable/unimplemented.
The problem is NVRAM is locked on Stock OxyOS, so on reboot the changes I made already get reset on reboot, so I had the idea of backing up the modem partitions using "Partitions Backup and Restore" and restoring them on boot/new ROM. I checked the SHA256 hash of a stock modem backup and my Modified modem backup and changes are there in the backup I made, but when I restore I don't get the bands back.
Does anyone have a clue how I can get these changes to stick?
Also is the Locked NVRAM an implementation in the ROM or HW of the phone? Can it be bypassed?

Due to a kake ROM now I have corrupted my EFS partition and need those files to bring alive my device. Please help.
I have found MEE7 files in the web but I guess don't have to use on my phone.
Please, somebody with MEG7 can help me? I will be very glad to buy him a beer.
Hey there! I'm not currently at home now, but I can give you a direct link to NEGMIFA Rom(for Global Version phones), you can extract files you need by yourself.
Download_V9.5.11.0.NEGMIFA (as you can see, its an old version)
OR you can download_fastboot_ROM, and flash it with MiFlashTool, it should solve your problems.
Have a nice day.
P.S. If you cant download something by any reason, I'll make a mirror on googledrive or other filehost in an hour or two when I get at home.
I read somewhere that modemst1 and modemst2 contain IMEI so the rom doesn't have those files.
Fsg is also related to IMEI
Well, as far as I understand your phone not working at all, correct me if I wrong. So my algorithm to make it work is to flash it first(fastboot), doesnt matter with or without your IMEI(I think it'll be 0000), then you can search on xda or whatever, there was a bunch of threads with IMEI "problems", I'm sure you can find the right one.
Have a nice day.

Hi Dunaldo, thanks for your time.
Currently my phone is working on official miui 10 developer rom, it was bricked until I could open the bootloader and install twrp.
Now, the problems I have are:
1.- Baseband "UNKNOW"
2.- When I digit *#06# on the dialer: "UNABLE TO GET IMEI"
So I was reading a lot in the forums, and ,my conclusion is: I have corrupted the EFS partition or probably I lost it, then I need first to solve the "baseband" problem, for that I need the modemst1 - modemst2 - fsg files of my exactly device model and then I can get back mi unique IMEI.
By the way do you have the MEG7 model?
And thanks for your suggestion about flashing fastboot rom, I will try once more, don't think will resolve the efs problem but I'll try anyway.
I have the same problem & i have used the files ur looking for but everytime i restart the phone my baseband again becomes unknown ?? if u want i can give u the file link tomorrow but its no use
Search Qcn file in google for your model . restore it using QPST and write your imei thats all tested MEI7 works perfectly
Any solution?

Why did you use Chip Erase? That's what Chip Erase does. It wipes out IMEI. In none on the Instructions for WTF or Frankenstein does it say to use Chip Erase on LGUP.
You'll have to Google how to do that. On XDA we can't talk about how to change IMEI.

You're crazy or very lucky. Chip Erase WILL delete IMEI. That is what it does.
Straight from the manual:
https://9to5lg.com/lgup-1-15-manual-how-to-unbrick-restore-your-lg-devices-with-lgup/
3) ChipErase: Dangerous, This will erase IMEI/efs, Do not try this if you do not have a NV backup.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
All I know is every one who reports they used chip erase in the Frankenstein thread wiped their IMEI. It's not part of ANY instructions in this forum, so any one who does it in on their own.
Here's the remainder of the explanation:
REFURBISH： You will lost all user data（KDZ or TOT）
2) UPGRADE: Keep data and update your phone（KDZ or TOT）
Select Upgrade to flash kdz firmware to unbrick/restore your phone back to stock.
3) ChipErase: Dangerous, This will erase IMEI/efs, Do not try this if you do not have a NV backup.
Chip Erase can also remove the Google FRP on many LG devices with Android 5.0, 6.0. (Such as LG H345, LG MS345)
4) PARTITION DL：flash the single Parition or selected paritions onto your phone.
This feature can solve “unkown model” issues. This feature can be used to bypass google frp by flashing specific tot firmware.
5) DUMP：Dump all paritions of your phone as backup.,
AT&T and Spring LG phone users who may need this feature to dump the firmware from a working phone as back up and use Patition DL to restore phones.
6) FOTA Upgrade: This can be used to flash OTA Update file that comes with dot up file extention.

try restore modem image via partition backup restore if you don't have one, try to pull from other V30 or other lg phone you have. Don't expect your phone will be normal as before, it's just some experiment that I suggest since you don't have any answer yet.
If you have a twrp EFS backup use that to restore. If not then you likely won't be able to restore it

maybe because my device is repaired ?
I think I lost IMEI using one of the TWRP version switching to another LS998. My backup of the first was on a different TWRP version I didn't recognize the feature/version difference. So my old device backup of everything didn't have the same partitions as the new phone TWRP was capable. I wiped everything on the new device and restored everything SMH... Everything worked well except I went ahead and erased data because encryption. But later when I was checking for Gpay I realized my IMEI was 0. Lame. Obviously I still have the IMEI I even double checked it against the numbers captured by Android Find Device (not everyone knows that's there) but no way to restore it it seems.
Now I have a terrorist phone, as they call it, I guess. Anyway everything still works etc coming back from airplane mode takes a restart most times, and Gpay contactless payments cards stopped adding. FYI I guess for others. Still rocking my V30. Like my neighbor Chazmatt I might just buy another one lol one day and keep this one as the family backup. Otherwise I'm still using it full time.
2 day search Google, I repaired my phone imei but SN still emplty, i used Kingtool software. Every one can fix it if lose imei !

Hello dear fellow mido users. I am trying to solve a problem here and I would very much appreciate your help on this:
I am running latest MIUI Stable Global flashed from fastboot, I have IMEI, but I don't have mobile signal. WiFi & BT works fine.
How I got here:
Bricked the phone about half a year ago
Ressurected it a week ago via connecting the pins in the back and flashing via edl.
I have unlocked it officially, as I had it unlocked before.
I have flashed TWRP & latest official RR, but it bootlooped, because my /persist partition was freaked out, so I reflashed it from the extracted fastboot ROM and I booted.
However, both my IMEIs dissappeared, and I only had the first IMEI from the back of my phone. So I calculated the second IMEI per a tutorial (from a Czech site) and restored both IMEIs via the Qualcomm QPST xqcn file, verified both IMEIs are showing up on my phone and are valid as per online IMEI checkers.
However, the signal didn't work, so I reflashed another mido device's IMEI (I have my original IMEIs backed-up) and flashed latest MIUI fastboot ROM, still no signal.
And here I am, and I am asking you for help..
If anyone can help me or at least point me in the right direction I will be eternally grateful :angel:

"Ressurected it a week ago via connecting the pins in the back and flashing via edl." - are you sure you didn't accidently disconnect the antenna cable from the motherboard end or from the USB board end while doing the tespoint connection to get into EDL mode?

Thank you so much for your reply. I just checked, the cable wasn't disconnected, but I dis-and-reconnected it just to make sure. Still no signal.
I should mention I reflashed my original IMEI and verified that its valid once again. I am attaching links to pictures of the back of my phone disassembled if anyone can spot something wrong: PHOTOS.

Okay, starts to be interesting. Did you play with the band selection? Probably the band has been changed to US?
Hope you have Magisk (root) - if not please flash Magisk.
I presume ADB is already installed.
Put the phone to airplane mode.
From a PC open a cmd and issue adb shell
or start a terminal emulator on your phone
Then issue these commands in the shell
su
pm clear com.android.providers.telephony
settings put global preferred_network_mode 10
settings put global preferred_network_mode1 10
settings put global preferred_network_mode2 10
Remove airplane mode.
Restart.
Check again.
If still not works:
Start phone in fastboot mode
Issue these commands from PC cmd:
fastboot devices << just to make sure you phone is recognised
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot reboot
It will restart.
Check again.
Anyway, if you issue *#*#INFO#*#* or better known as *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer then selecting Phone 1 or Phone 2 (according to the SIM slot you want to check) in the top right or lower left there is a band-select menu (not in MIUI but in other custom ROMs) so there you are able to select the correct band if you want (that would mean you flash any custom ROM from TWRP or any custom recovery for a couple of minutes, go to dialer and look around)

Tried everything you said in order, still doesn't work. In normal fastboot, fastboot erase modemst1 results in this image isn't allow download. So I used mfastboot and it worked, however still no signal. When I try to switch the band in the options menu, there are two options: Automatic and United States. When clicked, both result in: Set [United States/Automatic] Unsuccessful.
And I just noticed it erased my IMEI again... Maybe the IMEI wasn't really there the whole time?
What is the proper way to flash both IMEIs? (I know them both)

I have the impression that the IMEI wasn't even there..
Flashing it is not possible.
The partition called EFS - in TWRP - is the one storing these kind of IDs.
If you have a backup of EFS you are good to go.
I used to tell people that before doing anyhing (before even unlocking the bootloader)
just do QCN info backup so in case of IMEI / Wifi MAC / Bluetooth MAC issues it's easy to restore..
Your case is a bit more advanced since you have no backup - so you have only one way to get out from this situation:
re-generate the QCN info. I advise you to use >>this<< tutorial (files are attached to the post) to properly re-generate and push back the correct info.
And here's the ultimate guide as well: part 1 and part 2

After that I advise you to use MiFlash and flash a recent fastboot ROM.
Report back when you finished. There should be a way..

Okay, I followed the first tutorial and successfully restored both IMEIs, still not working. I noticed, while flashing the xQCN file, it gives me a message about the model number of the phone not matching the model number of the xqcn file. Is that normal?
Last resort is to follow the second tutorial and redo everything.

Waitaminute.. What is the error message exactly? This is odd, I used that file many times without any glitch, issue or error message.

"The model number in the QCN file and the phone do not match. Do you still want to restore the phone with this file?"

In fastboot mode what is the answer of the phone to the command adb devices and fastboot getvar product? I don't care about the serial but all the rest.

Something is not quite straight here - the QCN file there is for Mido, that's 100% sure.
You started the thread with this statemenet: "Bricked the phone about half a year ago"
What did you do exactly? Once I had a phone - remotely resurrected - that has been flashed with a markw ROM (Redmi 4X) instead of Redmi Note 4X (mido) and the guy experienced something similar.

Pasting from a thread I made back when I bricked the phone:
Here's the situation:
Was on stock MIUI Global 9.5.8.0 with RedWolf Recovery.
Did a backup and flashed LineageOS
Wasnt happy with it and flashed back the backup, including the Firmware and EFS partitions, basically every partition
Bootloop, WiFi and BT driver prolly messed up, cant connect and restarts upon trying to connect to WIFI/BT.
Tried flashing other firmware, various combinations of wipes, flashes, MiFlashTool fastboot rom, nothing helped.
Tried flashing with EDL, the newest ROM gives me "Too many lines in XML file", old ROM flashed fine, but then couldn't even get to fastboot.
Now: Can't get to fastboot nor recovery, phone goes to EDL mode w/ red LED blinking when connected to PC.
QFIL gives me "Cannot read packet header, read 0 bytes", same with MiFlash.

Not a good move. System is up and running, tho, right?
If you go to Settings - About phone - Baseband - what is the baseband version?
Does it looks like a decent version info or say "unknown"?

Don't have the backup.
Sorry for confusing you, the Now section is from the old post, I haven't done anything since my last post.

No worries - but still:

Decent version. Specifically: 953_GEN_PACK-1.148143.1.163979.1
Also can we switch to some IM like WhatsApp so we don't have to keep pinging each other via quotes? I will post the solution/result in the thread.
I managed to erase IMEI and backup as well. Evrything got complicated after flashing AT&T firmware with Medusa. That is first time SIM lock showed and stayed on ever since.
I can get V60 to work with 600N firmware but it does not work propperly as reciveng sms takes for ever.
Now there are many threads on restoring lost IMEI by editing qcn backup from other working phone and replacing IMEI with your own.
I did that and got confi3from original owner of proper qcn file that I have indeed replaces his IMEI with mine. Flashing edited qcn file with QFIL was repported as successful but IMEI is still 0.
There are som suggestion on rewriting FSG, Modemst1 and 2 with zeroes but dd command used for that purpose report that there is not enough space.
Any idea? All suggestions are welcome and wil be tested ny me.
Thank you.
