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
accedently i have deleted system and internal storage in moto x (xt1052) indian version , so i have restored brazilian version now every thing okay but my phone imiei number is zero,now it not working network, someone please help me to fix my problem
You need to flash the modem from the indian firmware, not the one from the brazil firmware.

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.
Please help!!!!!!
I bought xt1060 with unlocked bootloder on kitkat 4.4.2 after some time i thought why not install twrp and custom rom.
At the starting of modding i installed twrp (latest) then cm12.1.
After some time with cm12.1, i decided to install AICP (marshmallow), there the problem started, the problem was that when i receive an incomming call there was no sound on ear piece but after turning on the loud speaker, i can clearly hear the sound.
I searched the forums and found out that if i flash lollipop modem, i can get rid of this problem i mentioned earlier, so i downloaded verizon xt1060 modem from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/xt1053-retail-stock-lollipop-flashable-t3155843) and run:
Fastboot flash modem non-hlos.bin
Fastboot erase modemst1
Fastboot erase modemst2
Fastboot flash fsg fsg. Mbn
Fastboot reboot
Using adb while moto x (which is on AICP custom rom) was in fastboot mode.
Phone started boot loop on the initial starting screen.
I rebooted in recovery then wiped system, data, cache, dalvic cache then installed AICP ROM, but no luck still phone was boot looping on the initial screen, then i downloaded verizon xt1060 5.1.1 firmware from (https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto X (1st gen-2013)/Stock/XT1060 Verizon/). Flashed it and phone booted fine after booting was completed i found out that phone was not reciving carrier signals. I searched for solutions, but no luck.
phone IMEI, baseband version was there but every thing was unknown in (about phone > status > sim status)
I checked sim from CQAtest, it said:
Sim state:absent
Sim operator:
Sim operator name:
Sim country:
Sim serial number: null
Phone ICCID:was there
Sim ICCID:null
Phone ICCID compared with sim ICCID: error
I have also checked different sims of different carrier, but still no signals.
I also flashed other modems but still no luck.
Please share if there is any way i can fix this problem :crying:
i went to the unlocking guy and asked him to give me my SPC code, he was able to extract my SPC code using "sigma key", i came home, downgrade my phone to 4.4.4, applied sim crack method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto...t1056-t2825155) and then i finally got my precious sim working.

Still in problem?
Yes im still facing the problem. One day i checked my imei on international database and found out that it was xt1056 (not xt1060), i went to firmware download and downloaded
XT1056_GHOST_SPRINT_5.1_LPA23.12-39.10_cid9_CFC.xml.zip
912.0 MiB
Flashed it.
But now its taking forever on activating screen (on every boot).
I think the problem took place because i flashed verizon modem on sprint moto x
Please help ??

Try reinstalling AICP since that's what you were running before, and since you flashed the correct XML everything should be working correctly.
You can find the correct model number on the back (assuming it's the original back) it's really small towards the bottom
Btw where did you check your imei?

sir i checked my imei on multiple websites like (http://www.imei.info),(https://imeidata.net)....
They both gave me same details, btw my orignal back cover was broken so i changed it with a new one. Is there any other way of finding IMEI on hardware like under the battery or something. I'm currently running AICP because as u know phone takes forever on activating screen on stock rom.
I contacted sprint through internet, i told them every thing so they asked for my sprint phone number (for activating purpose using manual programming method) i went to settings>about phone>status>sim status, there i found this number 0000000xxxx which was not a sprint number according to sprint. I think its not activating because there is no sprint activity in pakistan.

You can find the imei on the sim tray if that hasn't been changed. Or thru Fastboot. Select barcodes. It's where I found mine.

The SKU is the model number. What's your bootloader?

And what did you flash from the Verizon xt1060 firmware?
Sent from my Moto X using Tapatalk
Same problem I'm facing .. I also erased modemst1/2 now no signal or not detecting Sim card .. I've flashed stock ROM also still no luck plxx help :crying:
I flashed the whole Verizon firmware not modem only
My SKU WAS XT1056
Is there any way I can downgrade from lollipop to KitKat on sprint version moto x ???
Because phone can be activated from KitKat illegally
(MY BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED)
I'm asking this because in my area there is shop which downgrades android version and unlock sprint phones for 500RS
Downgrading is not recommended. It can cause issues. And since you flashed the whole firmware from Verizon, you can only use the 5.1 firmware from Sprint.

Your phone will also work in 5.1 lollipop on both verizon and sprint both by just doing some things without downgrading whole firmware

Hello all,
I purchased a bootlooped HTC One M7 off eBay and was able to restore it, however, when I attempted to make a call I discovered that the IMEI had been wiped clean. When using the *#06# code into the dialer, the IMEI came up as blank. Eventually, I rooted the phone and was able to restore the IMEI by using the Xposed Installer method and the original IMEI came up when using the *#06# code. Unfortunately, when I checked a few days later the IMEI was missing once again.
Is there a way to permanently change/restore the IMEI or am I S.O.L.?
