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?

I thought I was getting the hang of rooting
and mods etc but I realize Odin was doing all of it and I know nothing.
Well I guess I'm going to try to rebuild the folder. Good news is I can see my IMEI from the boot barcode now and couldn't before so there's that.

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

Been flashing my devices forever but they have all been samsungs and my phones for the past 4 years so im looking for help
I got a XT1064 for my wife who is still using a Nokia Pureview 808
Its a great little device and I wanted to root and install a customer recovery for it for backup reasons
Ive been over all the forums many times but its never clear 100% that the stuff works for the XT1064
I can root and unlock the bootloader with no issues my main questions are
Is it confirmed that TWRP 2.8.0.1 will work for this variant? If not what recovery would you recommend (links if possible would be great)
I know there are not really many ROM currently but did see some that are pretty much stock but optimized(more ram etc) are any confirmed to work ok on the XT1064?
This is my wifes phone so I cant have her without a working device too long and I am less willing to test since its not my device
Any help would be appreciated

TWRP 2.8.0.1 does run on the XT1064, however it seems to be buggy. In my experience that recovery will randomly cause the phone to reboot for no reason. I personally prefer CWM, but TWRP 2.7xx has been reported as working well
P.S, don't ever flash your XT1064 back to stock with the mfastboot commands, I did it with the appropriate image for the US GSM model, and now my wifi is dead, and I cant find a workaround
Wish I had an XT1064 nandroid backup!

Well after a while I settled on Phil recovery and so far so good
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...covery-cwm-philz-touch-6-moto-g-2014-t2896586
As for roms dont seem to find any and im not willing to try
As for the back to stock which image did u use?
Would the correct one not be Android 4.4.4 Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US since this isnt the global version?

Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US was the one I flashed, so it should have worked, but unfortunately... :crying:
A user in another thread suggested that I flash the latest OTA update, but the problem is, the latest OTA update uploaded here isn't for the 1064, so the stock recovery refused to flash it, and with no wifi or mobile data, I can't download the OTA from the phone

Okay, so I finally decided to ditch AT&T and go full Paranoid (This is not my first flashing attempt with Android devices). Got the latest version, etc. Load into BootStrap and wipe everything. Go to install PA and for some reason I had neglected to tell my build.prop (ro.product.device/name) is supposed to be "jactivelteatt"/"jactivelteuc" and not "SN-M9009". So when I started the flash process, immediate error and now I'm stuck with a phone with no OS or bootloader and can not, for the life of me, find a ROM to flash with .MD5 or .TAR that will work with ODIN. I did find "Oneclick_I537UCUAMF1" that gets all the way to the end and fails. Tried multiple times with multiple cables.
Please if anyone has any idea's, please help.

Oh god are you on the US version (SGH-I537)? If you're on the international version (I9295) ignore this post but otherwise, you need to read and take in my short rant. Trust me I wish this weren't the case, but it is, and it's important:
The Galaxy S4 Active i537 has a locked bootloader. There is no way around this, no ifs ands or buts. You simply cannot flash custom ROMs or recoveries. That's it, end of story as far as CM, CWM, AOSP and such things are concerned. That being said there is a sort of recovery called SafeStrap which you can use to make nandroid backups, flash mods and STOCK-BASED roms, but it's not a true custom recovery in the sense that we had been used to, because of this locked bootloader nightmare.
OK so I think you're gonna want to check out this thread. It's all about how to install any firmware from download mode, I think you're gonna have to go with NE3 or NH3.
Let me reiterate. NO CUSTOM ROMS. NO CWM. No Paranoid, no cyanogenmod, no AOSP, no crossing go before going directly to jail. Sorry for the stupid joke but seriously, you have got to keep your phone on stock-based roms (of which there are unfortunately few).

You need to make sure you are flashing a version that is the same or more recent than the version you are currently on. You cannot downgrade your firmware or else you'll end up with a bootloop.

If you have a ww sku try to put this file (http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/ME176C/UL-K013-WW-12.10.1.36_KK-user.zip) on the root of you microSD card and reboot the tab, it should try to flash it (well not on first reboot, you'll have a notification asking you if you want to do the update); if this doesn't work either try the nandroid (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347832070) from jerbear, it was done on an unmodified me176c with lollipop, you must use the tethered recovery, make a backup, reboot, replace your back up files by the files of the nandroid, then reuse the tethered recovery and restore from the new back up. Ask jerbear from this forum for further explanation, i'm just a user who had the same problem, not a specialist.

Ps; the system will do an update after the nandroid restore, it is an older version of the me176c's lollipop rom.

If you have a ww sku try to put this file (http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/ME176C/UL-K013-WW-12.10.1.36_KK-user.zip) on the root of you microSD card and reboot the tab, it should try to flash it (well not on first reboot, you'll have a notification asking you if you want to do the update); if this doesn't work either try the nandroid (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347832070) from jerbear, it was done on an unmodified me176c with lollipop, you must use the tethered recovery, make a backup, reboot, replace your back up files by the files of the nandroid, then reuse the tethered recovery and restore from the new back up. Ask jerbear from this forum for further explanation, i'm just a user who had the same problem, not a specialist.

No, it's the same rom, the difference between them is just the quality of the cams, btw i have a 176cx too and can guaranty you it works.

You'll have to root again indeed, but remember what i said in the start, you're likely to regret it if you manage to do the update, it's a very bugged one.

a factory reset doesn't give you the original rom, the update will still be there, the downgrade is a very tricky process, and i answered you only because you asked, but i repeat myself, you should really keep your tab the way it is now, i regretted having done the update for months until someone finally found a way to roll-back to kitkat.
With lollipop you'll have:
-memory leak (can be fixed anyway).
-overheating.
-crashes.
-apps closing themselves or refusing to launch.
-random reboots of the tab itself.
-some users even had clock issues on the tab (too slow).
-others had battery life issue (tablet discharging too fast).

oh and i forgot, google apps crashs.
Hey guys, been searching for quite awhile for information on rooting my Samsung galaxy tab A model # SM-T587P haven't been able to find anything! Is this device not rootable currently or will the root method for a different model number also work for the SM-T587P? I appreciate any info I can get thank you!
yep. I'm kind of trying to do the same thing
Me TOO!
Would be nice to have root and TWRP. At least then I can debloat.
I was able to flash t585 custom recovery using odin last night . It even gives me the green light and says pass....the problem is that when I try and boot into recovery it will say booting recovery, then screen flashes and boots up normal....everythings still operating as it should....anyone know what I need to change in that file to make it work?
any developers out there that could help out would be awesome. thanks in advance

Anyone find a root method for the Sprint one? SM-T587P.

yes, but if you tried the updated method and it worked with you it wont wipe any thing because that means your bootloader is already unlocked.

sorry for taking me too long to answer. to be honest with you i tried this way over ten times with my phone and some of my friend. for me and some others it worked from the first time bout for others they had to go through the procedure more than one time till they succeeded. and as you see no one in this thread said if they tried it and if it worked smoothly with them or not.

just use the very last method ( if something went wrong )and you will have your phone working as new
i haven't tried it on your basband version. but did you reboot normally to Android first? if you did try to flash twrp again. I'm not sure if it will work with baseband cause as i said i haven't tried it on this update.

Hello,
I am having difficulties about flashing the TWRP recovery. I followed your step #3 procedure and successfully flashed the TWRP then I went to step #4 and I held the [power button] and [vol -] at the same time and selected the recovery option, then the stock recovery shows up instead of TWRP recovery.
My phone info.
Lenovo Phab 2 650M 6.0 Marshmallow
Baseband Verson : PB2-650M_A_V044_170726
Build number: PB2-650M_S040_170725_ROW

same man. there is no way to root this phone :/
as i told you i haven't tried it on the new baseband.
i think it only works with baseband 170406 and earlier.
