I will be honest wit you people, I really mess up on my phone.
I was trying to upgrade to lollipop on my AT&T moto X.
I miss the step that I need to unlock my bootloader, so I just came directly to install the pure edition Brazilian rom.
When the phone restart I notice that my phone was not reading my simcard, and It is because my EFS file was deleting and Now I dont have IMEI...
Unfortunately I did not backup my EFS file.
Now my radio is not working, I did already search on all the webs a solutions but I with no luck.
Can anybody help me please!
How did you flash the ROM? Via fast boot? If that's the case you only mess with the modems. Try to download the firmware of at&t and flash the modem and the fsg files. Same happened to me when I converted my Moto x 1097 to 1095. Is not that bad just try my guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-xt1097-to-xt1095-nextel-t2972693

How did you update then? Side load update? The problem you have is the modem as I said, nothing more
here is the firmware 4.4.4 of AT&T http://pan.baidu.com/wap/link?uk=3927248220&shareid=4222363237&third=0 unzip the file and try to flash the modems via fastboot, that should be enough.

I did try with on the motorola page, but it said that my phone is not compatible to unlock, so I just try installing the braziliam rom, In the process the phone shows a few error and when it restore there was not signal until I realize that I do not have IMEI on it.

Do you have knowledge of fatboot and bootloader ? in that case unzip the file of your firmware in the same carpet you have the adb and fastboot files, be sure your phone is on "USB debugging mode" and plug your phone to your PC (phone must be power on), then type
adb devices (to see if the phone is recognized)
adb reboot bootloader (to reboot into bootloader)
fastboot devices (to see if the phone is recognized in fastboot, because sometimes it doesnt)
fastboot erase modemst1 (delete the old modems)
fastboot erase modemst2 (delete the old modems)
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin (flash the modems of your phone model)
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn (flash the modem of your phone model)
mfastboot reboot
After the reboor you will have signal again after a couple of minutes, and of course your IMEI is back too.
hope it helps

I found the at&t modem NON-Hlos.img but I can't find the fsg fsg.bn. and the first one is not working.
could you please be so kind to tell me where can I find those files please
RESOLVED!!!!
OK, let me tell you what I did.
I follow the steps that you gave me but it did not work.
Then I tryed installing the at&t room but it just mess more the things, because when I reboot the phone it went straight to the boot loader, and I was not able to turn on the phone. at this time I was really scared xD
so I create a new folder with the at&t room and the fastboot.
open fastboot and start flashing all the files in the folder, but this time I did not flashed the non-hls neifghter the fsg file.
then I just reboot the phone and read the sim card quickly.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
you save my life. I really appreciate your help.
Hi I been flashing the CM 12.1 nightlies, starting from the mexican 5.0.2 stock firmware for a while. Suddenly, the power button and the screen got unresponsive.... i've tried to flash back to stock several times, either kitkat or lollipop, with the same results... The only different thing I noticed was when I started the bootloader menu the baseband line was empty. One of the times I flashed to stock it came back and start working correctly, but when I flashed CM again the same thing happened.
Now I have the baseband line black and the OS keeps crushing....
I tried flashing the radio only with the same results....
Any thoughts?
PS: RSD lite 6.2.4 doesn't recognize my devices so I flash with cmd and mfastboot using these commands:
mfastboot getvar max-sparse-size
mfastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img
mfastboot flash radio radio.img
mfastboot flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot flash boot boot.img

I had a similar problem with my XT1254. I was using a modified stock 5.1 system image (since that's all we can do with our locked bootloaders...for now. Our hope lies with you, jcase and beaups!) and after months of using it without any issues, it crashed. I got it working again by using similar steps to what you did to flash 4.4.4, but with a few exceptions:
1. I used fastboot instead of mfastboot.
2. I flashed something called gbt.bin I think to the "partition" partition. I'll re-download the firmware that I used and confirm that. I was following the flash sequence in the full firmware's xml file.
3. When the phone finally booted (it seems like it took between 5-10 minutes), I went through the initial setup, and I noticed a notification that said "complete uninstall." I clicked on it, and it said that it wanted to restore the motorola sensor firmware to a previous version. I said okay, and it did whatever it needed to do and rebooted the phone.
Now the phone boots fine (phew), but the baseband line in the bootloader is still blank. It might be related, but I remember that the moto app and also the moto actions (I think?) app updated itself recently, so maybe that sensor firmware update is the cause of the problem?
EDIT: Here are my exact flash steps. Keep in mind that this is for a Droid Turbo, not the Moto Maxx that you must be using. I'm not sure if that matters.
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk7
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot
EDIT2: I set up my 5.1 image just to see if I could replicate the crash and sure enough, once I updated Moto Actions, everything fell apart.

EDIT3: I just noticed that on Rootjunky's video, his baseband appears blank too, so maybe it was always blank and we just didn't notice before.

Did you ever fix your problem? If so, how? Because my phone is messing up again and my previous method isn't working.

Yeah I was Ok for a few days without the moto updates, but then it started crashing again... I don't know how to fix it... the baseband keeps going on and off in the fastboot mode and everytime it goes off the problem arise

That's weird. I got a warranty replacement from Motorola that appeared to be brand new and before I modified it, I checked the bootloader. Baseband was blank. So even on a stock, unmodified phone, it can be blank. Here's my thread that details everything that I tried to fix this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/help/complicated-problem-restore-doesnt-help-t3184251. I managed to temporarily fix it, but it always broke again once I reflashed 5.1. I posted the system image that I made that temporarily fixed the problem, but remember that is for an XT1254, so I don't think it will work for you.
Hello Sir
I was about to update to computerfreak's .49 rom (version 1.37 that is). Prior to that I wanted to update to the latest modem, So i flashed the modem cleaner, and then the radio from firstencounter's thread
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/droid-turbo-xt1254-bootloader-radio-t3259327)
Since then my baseband is unknown. I can't connect to wifi and my sim isn't being read
You seem to have fixed the problem? I was on computerfreaks 1.35 till now with no issues (except GPS wouldn't lock)
Hi all.
I just wanted to share my finding regarding this problem.
I realise that this may not fix the problem for everyone, but searching the forum, I have found MANY folks that have tried all the things that I have to no avail..
So I am posting this in hope that some of them might see this and hopefully cure their "Unknown Baseband", "No IMEI" and "No SIM card"
I recently upgraded to RR Marshmallow witch fixed some other problems I have had with my XT1254 Droid Turbo (Bluetooth related)
I also upgraded my Radio.img from 02r to 03r (44 to 49?)
While this fixed my Bluetooth problems and everything was running really well for 2-3 days, out of nowhere, in the middle of a phone call, I got: No IMEI, Unknown Baseband and no SIM card...
I searched the forum (and google) and have tried just about everything..
Upgrade / downgrade firmware
Install stock rom
Backup/restore EFS / IMEI partition
Different radios
A few third party programs
Loads of ADB commands (learned a lot in the process though!)
I was kinda ready to give up and buy a new phone, so I thought I might as well try something daring WITCH FIXED MY PROBLEM!!!
I sprayed a little electrical cleaner into the SIM slot and let it dry out. When I pushed in the SIM card, I felt some resistance that definitely wasn't there before! I know this for sure because I removed / inserted the SIM card a LOT of times to see if it would connect.
My guess is that there is a mechanism that pushes the SIM connection points away from the SIM card when it is being pushed in, and when it is al the way in, it will snap back up against the card. (or some other mechanism that tells the phone that a SIM card has been inserted. I don't know)
This mechanism must have gotten stuck and the cleaner must have removed whatever was keeping it from moving.
I DO NOT recommend people doing this, since it may damage your device (I suppose if you are really unlucky, it might even blow up your battery?¿)
A more gentle approach would be to pray off the back cover (haven't tried this myself, but youtube suggest this is fairly easy) and clean / massage the mechanism in a more controlled manor.
Best of luck to all of you! I hope you find a fix for your problem!

Hi, all
To anyone experiencing IMEI = 0, therefore no cellular network, this here is a workaround. This happened to me firsthand, and I thought I should pay it forward and share with anyone who experiences this.
Your IMEI is not lost, it's just sitting there. You can see it in fastboot using "fastboot getvar all" command, and in the "Barcode" in bootloader menu.
Any attempt in writing IMEI via QPST tool is futile, because our device is write protected.
I have recovered my IMEI by doing the following:
1. Install Validus-sanders-8.1.Beta.1.3-OFFICIAL-20180128-0506.zip
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850488560
2. After 1st boot in Validus you will see that your IMEI is now recognized, but still you are missing 4G. To recover this, reboot to bootlaoder and reflash the modem using the following fastboot commands:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
Reboot to connect to 4G.
3. Important: Reboot to TWRP and Create EFS Backup!
(Optional)
4a. Reflash stock ROM via fastboot, flash TWRP and restore your EFS partition using the backup you made.
4b. Reflash using TWRP flashable stock ROM in the thread below by @Ae3NerdGod and restore your EFS partition using the backup you made.

Thanks for this. Wish it was up when it happened to me. I was ready to try and take back the phone while it was dead and hope they didn't try to turn it on. Lol. I loose my 4g everytime and 3g sometimes after flashing. In theroy I can do this after flashing a custom rom to get my 4g back right? I hope so cause I'm gonna try it. Once again, thanks for this!

You don't need to do all that - just flash stock (remove SIM before flashing and pop it back in after you've booted to stock).

On my experience, I have flashed every stock ROM for xt1805 there is as it is my model, flashed and reflashed modems, cleared modemst1 and modemst2 to no avail. IMEI=0. I removed sim before flash and popped it after booting, but still same result. It went on for almost 2 weeks. One thing I noticed is that the modem version becomes MSM8953_27.36.07.41u while the version in the xml file in stock zip is ***.41R. I don't know what that means, I flashed the latest firmware for xt1805. I am thinking that the letter stands for your region (u=US, e=EMEA, etc). My phone now after it has regai ed IMEI is ***.41e. Maybe it's a mismatch of modem since the bad flash that wrecked my phone and it changed something that makes it swtich to the right bands. I'm not quite sure though.

Fwiw - I'm in the us, my baseband is 40e, so I think you might have the us firmware.
Where did u get the firmware? And how are you flashing it?
Edit , just noticed your baseband is 41e , disregard the above - but - do answer the questions.

Sounds like the flash procedure is correct , as long as each step flashed successfully.
I believe you mentioned flashing every firmware available - including from firmware center?
If so - all I can say its contact your carrier - if it was ok out of the box, and you've flashed the original firmware, it should work again.
Good luck!

Your link to my twrp stock zip 404's, just saying.
I am following this so far, but i can't figure out where you got those files from:
fastboot flash modemNON-HLOS.bin fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
Are they from the ROM you decided to be your Stock ROM? Because the Custom ROM doesn't contain those. And i am not sure i want to put just some random ROM Files in there...
Thanks for the help you provided with this Thread so far anyway =)
Edit: I tried it with the Files from the Stock ROM and it actually worked =)

When will u install custom rom.. after that just do 1 thing open bootloader menu and paste this commonds.... 1. fastboot erase modemst1
2. fastboot erase modemst2
Tadaaa you get 3g and 4g network

I have tried everything. Restoring efs. Flash non hlos. Erasing modemst. I cannot get my 4g back after flashing custom ROM. So so aggravated. 3g sucks so I can't run a rom that won't do 4g. If any new info comes up someone please let me know.

Then what?
I am.coming from regular Moto G5 where this was a problem too. The solution over there was, if you are on a custom 8.x oreo rom, you needed, before going to stock, flash 32 bit twrp and a 32 bit rom. Then, after first boot, you could go back to stock with no problems. Just got this one and not planning to move from stock as I feel official oreo is right at the corner, but give it a try like this and report back if you were able to

Recover IMEI via Chamelephon app.
I probably know a simple fix for that!
I too lost my IMEI of my smartphone so what I did was -
· Root your smartphone.
· Install Chamelephon app from Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cryptotel.chamelephon
· Open the app and grant root access.
· Now enter both IMEI into the text box. If you don't know your IMEI, just check your phone's retail box where the pricing and all other stuff is mentioned. There your IMEI should be mentioned. (Or you can just enter any random IMEI if it's legal)
· Now tap the reboot option.
· Your phone will now reboot and BOOM ?... your IMEI should come back.
Hope it works for you.
(Tested on my Micromax Unite 2.)
Don't use things not designed for your device
I want to flash arrow os for sanders moto g5s plus but after flashing my imei and signal were gone so i flashed stock and got imei and signal back but i want to flash arrow os and restore twrp only efs and persist. but the only twrp which has option to backup persist is this https://unofficialtwrp.com/update-unofficial-twrp-3-3-1-for-moto-g5s-plus/ but everytime i flash , it gets encrypted and i have to format data but after formatting data and i reboot into system so after rebooting i go to fastboot mode and then go into recovery mode but it goes to stock instead of twrp i flashed earlier so to get into twrp i have to flash it again and after flashing it again, it gets encrypted and again i have to format data so i am unable to make backup of persist and efs, i alreday have persist and modemst1 and modemst2 bin files but i dont know how to flash them
this encryption problem only occurs in twrp 3.3.1-0 not in previous but the previous versions dont have option to backup persist

Twrp - you have to boot back into recovery from twrp after install to get it to stay.
Format data to decrypt phone, after installing rom, flash magisk to keep device from encrypting again.

And also what is the right way of restoring efs and persist on a rom
Should I do this
TWRP>ARROW OS>MAGISK>BOOT>TWRP>RESTORE EFS AND PERSIST

Important part is root after os first, after that it doesn't matter. Best to flash everything in same twrp session
95% of the time persist isn't the problem,
You just need to reflash this from stock
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

One more thing that I have noticed is
My baseband shows
M8953_50.59.07.96U(no Sim and imei)
Whereas in stock rom my baseband shows
M8953_50.59.07.96R (this is working)
Also if we edit fstab.qcom from inside the phone with file explorer and remove the force encrypt and verity flag will it remove encryption after reboot
