how to back up imei in rom soak test - Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers

My device is xt1805, I have root and flash custom rom Pixel Experience, I backup imei by EFS BACKUP. then, i flashed the official rom but my imei = 0, and i restored imei by PARTITIONS BACKUP but in this application i did not find the file to restore. I updated to rom 8.1 official, surprising my imei has been restored.
I want to go back to version 7.1 and I want to ask how to back up imei in rom soak test?

Install the twrp(don't install root .zip) and backup EFS and PERSIST or only EFS.

In fact, you can restore at any time.
But if not on stock kernel, after restore, the phone will get soft-brick.
So it's better to restore after flashing the stock rom.

million-dollar idea = hard brick bootloader

I watch all the forum ... and nothing .... It strikes me the idea that solving this problem can handle only champion. I am not and I tried on all methods.
Why XDA no solution ??? XDA's largest community of Android developers I know. There must be a solution, and I want to find him here!
Help if you can, even God
thanks
at least tell us, what seems to be a problem? As for now, it sounds like you're going to pay a milion-dollars for someone who will hardbrick your bootloader. Am I right? Send it to me, I'll hardbrick with my hammer for that cash.
I think his problem is that is Bootloader IS hardbricked and NOT that he wants it hardbricked.. BTW I have a similar problem. I installed Android 6.0 on my xt1068 using The Indian soak test update. I then decided I wanted to downgrade back to 5.0.2 and my phone is now dead completely... So yeah an answer would be nice here. Thanks
One should try to install only system, recovery, radio partiotions.
Every update Moto updates fs structure, changes bootloader and radio. These are critical and should not be installed.

my current bootloader is 48.86 i used xt1069 's marshmallow previously
I FLASHED XT1068_TITAN_RETAILDSDS_5.0.2_LXB22.99-16.3_Easy_Installer.zip ON BOOTLOADER 48.86 VIA FASTBOOT IT GIVES ME MSG IN PINK ( version downgrade for _gpt and version downgrade for tz) and rest is worked fine it successfully booted into the stock 5.0.2 after that i updated soak test update of 6.0 by coping blurred version into sd card and checking it by going into settings >about phones >system updates
so not faced any problem as of now i m sure what i done i have a video proof also that i flashed (XT1068_TITAN_RETAILDSDS_5.0.2_LXB22.99-16.3_Easy_Installer.zip ON BOOTLOADER 48.86)
Sorry could you please explain that in beginner's lanuguage?

I've bricked my boot loader by downgrading and have taken it in for repair to my local cellphone repair guy and he told me it's dead and unfix-able. I was told to go to Motorola to get them to fix it except THERE is no Motorola service at all for South Africa... So I'm screwed?

Honor 5c/7 Lite Root on Android 7 / EMUI 5.0

Hello,
I'm trying to root my honor 5c/7 lite that is running android 7.0 and EMUI 5.0 on it and it runs very smooth , but when I flash TWRP 3.1.0.0, twrp never loads up, it's just stuck in "You device is booting now" when trying to enter recovery.
The method I use is the manual method via bootloader:
HTML:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
And yes my bootloader is obviously unlocked!
I did only have 20% battery left however, if that affects it at all?
Before I flashed Android 7.0 and EMUI 5.0 onto the device, I had no problem rooting it the same way with the same recovery.
UPDATE:
I'm now on android 6.0 / EMUI 4.1.2
I have flash TWRP 3.1.0.0 and rooted with superSu v2.79 SR3

Refer to the honor site for downgrade instruction. U need to flash a seperate update.app before flashing the full update.app. U will get these all in the downgrade instructions.

In the rollback instructions u will find a seperate update.app and a full update.app. U need to first flash the seperate update.app by putting it in dload folder. After flashing that reboot then replace that dload folder with the full update in dload. Flash that. Then u will be on EMUI 4.
Ok, I have successfully downgraded my phone now. Is it now possible to root my phone then flash android 7 onto it?

You can root it after flashing Emui 5, but u can't flash twrp as of now. Twrp for Emui 5 is not available right now.
I just flashed lineage OS 13 instead
So there is no way to root emui 5/android 7 without rolling back to 6?

same issue here. if twrp doesn't support emui 5 as of now, aren't there any other recoveries for it like cwm or anything else? tried kingroot etc with no luck.. and nougat update came with SO MUCH bloatware that needs to be uninstalled asap!

bloatware doesnt eat battey, unless you have 1 gb sdcard it should be fine. also you can delete all data and disable them.

In Huawei P9 lite thread there is a Twrp recovery for nougat, EMUI 5. Developer is oldDroid. He wants to support honor 5c with his twrp. Bt he needs testers. Just contact him if u want.

There got to br some way..i can change my baseband from M8953*****e to M8953****u.
Some how i can change it to R..
And volt isnt lost...cant use volte just cause base band in bootloader is different than baseband in android settings
If you flash the right baseband you can use volte

Till now there is no way to fix it.
Volte fix methods can make your device unusable.be careful. Avoid them.
It's not necessary for volte that baseband must be "R"..mine is "e" still volte is OK.
So don't play with baseband..
Are you getting 4G signal..and your IMEI is OK.??
Recommendations:
Take a TWRP backup and keep it safe.. before doing anything, will be useful in case of emergency.

Re-Lock bootloader only when you have IMEI number on stock ROM.!
Without IMEI number relocking is not recommended.!
Your Software Channel..??
Can any of the senior developer clear my below doubts:
1. Can we get 4g back on custom rom after official oreo release?
2. Camera with all stock features and stability on custom rom after official oreo release?
My story is as below :
I was on AOSP extended rom and tryed to go back to stock.
Then Lost my imei
Went back to Aosp got imei but lost 4g. At this point i was getting imei on all custom rom but no 4g on any.
Some persist file clamed to give 4g back so i tryed it but lost imei again
Luckly i had efs back will i was on aosp extended (no 4g)
Now the problem after flashing persist flie is that i am getting imei only on pixel rom, that to after restoring efs back of aosp. I tried several other roms but no imei( even after restoring efs)
Now i can't use any other rom
Will we have any working fix?
I tried all the post like erase modemest, remove sim and flash official rom etc but nothing worked
Will official oreo release help developers to fix this issues permently on custom roms?

If you got persist and efs back up then restore it now and you will get your IMEI back. Or you can move to custom roms in which you get the IMEI, take the back up of efs and persist and install on stock ROM, you will get your IMEI.
I do not have efs and pesist backup ... I will install a custom rom ... and put the result
