I was attempting to flash a stock recovery today, but after flashing I had no service. I went and looked at my IMEI number and, sure enough, it was corrupted. I was stupid and didnt take a backup beforehand.
So right now I'm looking at two options. One, find a way to restore my IMEI. I do have the number, thanks to Motorola Customer Service, but I have no way to change the phone's number to it. And from what I've read, it's illegal to change it anyway.
My second option is to get it replaced/repaired through Motorola. It is a Pure Edition, bootloader unlocked and rooted. Customer service has told me that the Pure Edition remains under warranty when unlocked, but not when rooted. Is there any hope for me to get them to replace it? I cant get texts or calls right now so I'm in a pretty bad position and need this fixed.
Any help/advice is much appreciated.
Thanks
How you flashed stock recovery? What exact command was used? What does it mean "IMEI number corrupted" Is it 0?
It is illegal to change the IMEI on the phone, but not to upload the correct original IMEI to the phone. So if you do have the IMEI then you can flash it back. There are tools to help you do that. I am not going to link them, because most people don't use them for legit purposes, but search Google and you will find what you are looking for. Sounds like if you are able to flash it back you would be up and running in no time.
I would say it is not absolutely necessary to flash his IMEI again. I have the case on Moto X 2013 when my IMEI was 0. It was due to wrong radio image flashed (i.e. I flashed NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn from European Moto X to non-European Moto X). And I have restored IMEI just flashing right radio image. So no illegal operations were made in that case.
Probably he made a mistake flashing stock recovery and flashed it to radio instead of recovery. In this case he need just reflash radio and IMEI will be restored.
Does anyone have the right radio to flash for the pure edition? I need it also
please help me

My moto x shows xt1056 on back but i flashed xt1056 stock and my imei became 0. What do i have to flash to get it back??
It was some 1052 rom when i bought it at first..
model written on back fine print: xt1056
firmware when i got this phone from ebay: xt1053 retail LP
Bootloader version: 30.BE
i checked imei by dialing *#06# and it showed 0 as IMEI number. i inserted sim and it worked, i even changed sims from different networks and they worked.
everything was ok, but i wanted to fix this imei thing, and downloaded qualcomm nv tools and then read items, and it showed ESN and MEID items correctly but IMEI was 000000000000000000.
i put IMEI similar to MEID with adding 9 at the end for make it 15 digits. wrote it successfully into nv items. rebooted phone and whoaaaa.. IMEI got changed.
later on i flashed xt1056 lollipop stock rom, IMEI was removed, dont know how. and since then no sim is working, no signal, nothing. checked with nv tools, tried to read IMEI and it is shown as 00000000000000.
i cant change them now, it gives read only error even when it accepts SPC code and unlocks phone successfully.
please help, my phone is useless right now.
strange is this phone allows any rom to be flashed on it regardless of carrier specific.
Lost IMEI of my MOTO G XT1063 and did not have backup as I can recover my IMEI or put some generic IMEI
On stock rom, sim card doesn't work for me because phone can't see imei numbers.
But, if I install any custom rom, the imei of the two sim cards is seen, the sim cards of course also work.
So I made a copy of the imei in twrp, installed the official rom, restored the imei, however the phone still does not see the imei on the stock rom and only on the stock rom.
Have any ideas?
I was able to restore the IMEI number with this simple guide: https://www.lenovoroot.com/2018/01/imei-null-baseband-fix-moto-e4.html
I leave the link for others.
I was restoring the IMEI number on the XT1771 Nicklaus DS.
And if the phone connects to the network after the whole operation and the IMEI is invisible, it is enough to restore the IMEI to the device in this way:
Some weeks ago i managed to unbrick my redmi note 10 5g following this guide. Just like the guide said my phone lost both IMEI numbers, so my question is: can both of the IMEI numbers be restored? the guide only says you can write to the second SIM slot however i really need to use 2 SIM cards, and im not able to make or receive any calls with the SIM on the first slot.
