Hi,
I edited my build.prop and it's causing my phone to boot loop. I know I can odin back the factory image to fix the issue but I have important data on it that I can't loose. Is there a way to only odin the correct build.prop?
Thanks

Not to my knowledge. Always make a backup before modding your phone.

Yeah, I should have. Thanks
Update: I got really lucky and used "elliwigy's" G925VVRU1AOE2_G925VVZW1AOE2_VZW.ZIP and odin the phone. What did you know my I didn't loose anything from it.

I'm about to experiment with my build.prop regarding memory management. One thing I'm not sure I understand with Flashfire backups is restoring after a boot loop. I assume i need to odin back to stock, then ping-pong root again, then load Flashfire and restore my backup? I hope I'm missing something and there is an easier way. Sure miss having TWRP!

That sounds right. When restoring with flashfire you obviously have to have root but also you need to be on the same build that you were on when you did your backup in the first place. I don't believe you can be on OC3 and restore a OE2 backup.

The ones named "low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar" are full wipe. Ones ending in "Home" are not. Couldn't tell with elliwigy's but that is good to know.

since the contacts are in sim card,
first i would suggest you to take out your sim card and then perform a dload flash
or else manually flash boot.img and system.img either by fastboot or through twrp
next time when you backup, do a backup of both system and boot with data partitions so that you wont have a problem restoring it

because , he just backed up system partition, and not boot partition,
you have to backup all the three partitions for a twrp backup to work perfectly

for similar incidents in future i recommend backuping contacts to your google account.

Good work bro,share this method to as many people as possible to help them all

This worked for my xt1805 that had no LTE after installing a custom ROM then restoring stock. Had no IMEI at first and installing a new custom ROM fixed that, but tried everything including deleting the modem environment partition (e.g. here) but only this persist solution would restore the LTE.
Many thanks!

Can anyone help me and elaborate how to restore the persist file?
EDIT: I used older TWRP, I flashed newer one and I got it. Thanks.

Will this work on an XT1803?

@lynxblaine yes it'll work

Hi,
I restored this extracted file using TWRP and now my IMEI is 0.
Here are the steps I did to get back my IMEI. none of these worked. Please advice.
1. Locked bootloader and went back to stock ROM (version NPSS26.116-61-5 with march update)
2. Did erase of modemst1 &t2 with out any success
3. Flashed just Non-Hlos and Fsg and DSP only.
4. Flashed various ROMS like Pixel experience, Validus, Resurrection Remix, franken ROM. Didn't even get 3G after this.
None of this seem to restore my imei.
But when I did fastboot getvar all I am able to see one IMEI of 15 digits.. So I don't think I bricked my phone.

You should try the restore method in this section of forums for your imei it worked flawlessly for me.

Did that as well. Flashed Validus Rom, Pixel Experience, Resurrection Remix, AOSP Extended Rom and Franken ROM. No success on any of the roms.
PS: I went to Moto service center today and asked them if they will restore software. They said for unlocked bootloaders they'll not do it.. :crying: Guess I need to wait till OREO is officially released.

Yeah, I tried RR vali aex, nothing was happening so I reverted to stock and locked the bootloader and submitted it to service center , they might be able to do something here. But they said your phone was rooted and we can't help you here. We can replace PCB which will cost you around 9-10k... So will go back tomorrow to collect.
Then will try something else.

1924-7 Metro E5 Plus lost imei and baseband

Ive been pulling my hair out trying to restore my IMEI for the past 2 days. I have the stock 8.0 firmware downloaded and can flash the phone back to stock no problem but no matter what I install, stock or custom rom, my imei is gone.
I believe the problem started when I was rooting the phone and followed a guide saying to use the e5 james twrp to boot to twrp and make a backup, which I have in my google drive. I got magisk installed etc and ended up wiping the phone, not realizing the encryption wouldn't allow me to get my files back. If I do anything other than a clean install it fails to decrypt and I have to restart into TWRP.
I don't have the original box and can't find the guys info that sold me the phone so I don't have the original imei handy.
Anyone have any thoughts or success getting their imei repaired?

Well I'm not sure how to proceed from there. If you do have a backup try to see about extracting it and seeing if it includes the persist folder. If not you may have to look around on what to do next.
The Moto G5s Plus I had the issue on shipped with Nougat and I flashed pixel experience rom and havoc OS for a while before flashing stock to sell it. When I did that I had lost my imei and had to hunt around until I found that thread I linked and followed it to fix the issue. Your issue may or may not be fixable the same way.

I have a twrp backup I believe is it but when restored it boot loops or says decrypt unsuccessful

i found the baseband bin file for tmobile,sprint,metropcs,boost for moto e5 plus

You can't take someone else's files to get your IMEI back.
If you could explain more detailed what you've done, then it might be helpful for others to find a solution.

Although this example is for Moto G5 it's nearly the same for G6.

My problem is that I have IMEI 0, what happens is that I flash the android rom 8 to 9, then I wanted to try the pixel experience rom but when I return to android 9 because I don't like its excessive battery usage I realize that I don't count With a signal to what I look at and I do not have my IMEI number, it is at 0, it looked for things to solve but it did not find anything, I cannot find my EFS folder or where the IMEI is, I wanted someone else's file to be able to put my imei again modifying the file and thus return but I don't know, I can't find anything

You can't modify this file!! That's not a text file like "this is your IMEI 123456789"

Your IMEI files are in /persist/rfs/msm/mpss/dhob.bin + shob.bin
EFS1=modemst1
EFS2=modemst2
That's a usual problem when downgrading your ROM and the reason why it is not recommended!!
Make sure you are running Android 9 and the mentioned files are available. You need also the NON-HLOS.bin from your stock firmware. Boot into fastboot mode and type
Code:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot reboot

He had watched a video which he modified as well, edited it as text and at the time of restarting the imei it was changed, so it is not possible? since my imei is at 0 but my cell information shows that the base band is correct

I tried it and still continue with IMEI 0 :/
I also already used the new version RETAIL that came out (ALI_RETAIL_9.0_PPS29.118-15-11-16_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml) and remain the same: /

I have got two devices: Moto G6 and Moto G6+
Due to a very dump mistake I killed my dhob.bin and shob.bin files on my G6+ and lost my IMEI forever. That's the reason why I bought the G6.
I know there are a few people here in this forum offering a persist.img for those who ruined their own. As I can see on your screenshot the hob+dhob_report.txt files are a clean sign for flashing someone else's persist.img on your device.
To make matters worse, your shob.bin file was created at May 2016!! The release date was March 2018! I don't think that Motorola developed that device two years before the official release date...
Option 1: You flashed another persist.img to get your IMEI back
Option 2: Your device is a used one and you bought it with a already messed up persist partition.
At the end it doesn't matter, because your IMEI will remain 0.

Where can I get persist.img? To test, I'll make a copy of the ones I already have in case of doubt. Another thing is that my problem was that I used the rom pixel experience and when I saw that I did not like it, I returned to android 9 stock and there my problem

The files shown on your screenshot do not belong to your phone. They belong to another Motorola device. But to get your IMEI back you need your own files. They are unique. These files were created and encrypted by Motorola and there is no chance to recreate them!! In case you haven't got a backup of your own your IMEI is dead, zero, 0, gone. bye bye!

The second sentence:
This method will not work if you have restored other device's persist from some Youtube video or some Internet guide.
Here, you can flash my persist.img from my G6 (XT1925-5, ALI_RETEU_PPSS29.55-37-7-2)

Have fun! It won't work!

I had this very same problem today after trying out Android 10. How I fixed it was to download the LineageOS 16 and install that over the top of whatever firmware/rom you have on your phone. Then once you've booted properly (Don't do root or anything, just boot the rom) check your IMEI has gone back to normal and if it has then you can flash a stock rom over the top (wipe all partitions as normal).
