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 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).

[need help] no imei after flashing custom rom [xt1805]

Hi, everyone.
I appreciate if anyone can help me restore my IMEI. I can't connect to network after flashing a custom rom. I've already flashed different versions of official firmware via fastboot, twrp flashable stock ROM, and reflashed modem and erased modemst1 and modemst2 to no avail. I've exhausted every possible option without having to send this to a service center.
Thanks and best regards,
Geb

Thanks for your kind intention. I've tried that method before to no avail. I installed all necessary drivers, and followed the steps faithfully. i was able to extract the qcn file, explore the contents of the EFS partition, modify the qcn file and edit it, but the dead end I ran into was the phone itself is write-protected when I send the qcn file back. Can you please share with me your backup of TWRP EFS partition? It's the only thing that can possibly save my phone. Thanks.

By the way, my IMEI is still intact when you use "mfastboot getvar all" command and in the "Barcode" in the bootloader menu. It's just that the IMEI = 0 when I dial *06#. I know it is in there somewhere. Perhaps you can share with me your EFS and Persist partition backup in TWRP?

A guy in Moto G5 Plus (potter) forums tried that, his IMEI is still zero, but he got back his signal. I will just try and see if it will work. I'm not a criminal to use someone's IMEI, I just don't want to give up on my phone just yet. Can you IM me a link of your EFS backup, perhaps?

Using someone else's imei has great potential to cause great problems for you and the person who gives it to you. Never give away your imei or use an imei from another device.

Request - efs and persist partition twrp backup

Hi, all.
Can anyone share with a copy of EFS and Persist partition TWRP backup? Please. Please. I've lost my IMEI because of a bad flash. My mistake as I wasn't able to make a backup beforehand. I've done all possible methods around, like TWRP flashable stock ROM, mfastboot flash the firmware files, erase modemst1 and modemst2, flash baseband and all. I've learned my lesson. Can any one you help me? Thanks.

Thanks for your kind intention. I had no need for your EFS partition anymore.
I was able to sort it out by flashing 01/28 Validus 8.1 beta build, reflashed modem, and I now have working cellular network and4G. Lesson learned, always make a backup of EFS. Good thing I did not give up on this phone.

I guess our devices are write protected u just cant try the efs of other devices. Even i have the same problem. I tried the validus method. But now signal is -79dbms. Earlier it used to be around -119dbms.

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.

I deleted a folder oem

Friends,
Using TWRP I deleted the folder "oem" "firmware" "bt_firmware" from my moto x4, now I have no signal, the flashlight does not work and it seems that I am without IMEI. Can you get back to normal? Or enable partition B?
You can try switching the active slots

And how would I do it? Any commands? Because I can not switch to slot B. Error.
I got to the root (/) and ran the command "rm -rf" with the thought that it would renew with the reinstallation of Stock Rom, but it didn't.

There probably is an easier way, but I know with TWRP 3.2.1-1, you are able to change slots (in the GUI). With later versions of TWRP I don't think slot changing worked.
I made a slot change using the fastboot command and then twrp 3.2.1-1, but couldn't. I believe the problem is at the root of the cell, which considers this mass.
I looked here and the IMEI is 0, so I have no signal. I have to fix IMEI, the rest is working normally.

Do you not have the box? The number should be on that. Also, what about when you enter *#06# on your dialer?
I have the box with IMEI, but I don't know how to put IMEI in the phone. I tried some YouTube tutorials, but to no avail.

I could have sworn the IMEI was chip level and could not be removed. This might sound like a strange question, but have you tried just doing a factory flash? It might just re-write the number from the chip to the appropriate destination.

I have tried several Stocks Roms and none worked.
I saw on the internet that Stock Rom only works on the sdcard part, the system part. My problem is in the "/" folder, I need to repair this folder.
If anyone can back up this folder and send me kkkkkkk

Yes. But during the process of choosing device model and version says it is not supported. I'm already running out of alternative.

Motorola x4 lost IMEI after attempt to install TWRP (NO SIM CARD OR WI-FI)

I was trying to install Lineage 16.0 OS and Magisk Root my android but in the process I got some trouble when tried to install TWRP on IT (TWRP works fine when I flashboot it from pc but not when I try to install it, causes slot issues). After that I performed a total wipe to "clear" the phone system (I never know when is needed to wipe but I wanted to have the cleanest setup) and installed just the Lineage, then It worked fine besides it got no way to connect to the internet. The wi-fi just doesn't turn on and the SIM Cards aren't detected.
After that I found out that my phone wasn't registered with any IMEI and I tried two other Stock ROMs trying to get my internet back but neither seemed to work. All I wanna know is how do I got my Moto X4 with Lineage 16.0 OS working fine? I think register the IMEI's I got here would solve the problem, but I don't find anywhere how do I repair the IMEI on a X4 Cortex-A53 (Qualcomm). The other solutions I found here on the forum consist of trying to flash some Stock ROMs until it works xD.
I wonder if there's a way to replace back my IMEI and still keep the Lineage OS
Obs 1: Before I flashed my phone, It had a up to date 9.0 android here in Brazil and I was using a SIM Card from TIM.
Obs 2: The Stock ROM's I tried to flash it back were "XT1900-6_PAYTON_RETBR_9.0_PPWS29.69-26-6_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml" and the other one that I've alredy deleted I think it was a RETAIL one.
Please help, guys
Does you created full backup via TWRP before install LineageOS? If "yes" please restore EFS partition, and all will be fine, I hope.

I had this problem days ago and the TWRP EFS restore did not fix it. I just had a "0" as an IMEI.
Someone over in the dev section told me to flash 8.1 in fastboot, boot and then flash the latest 9.0 it worked perfect and all my info is back.
@johnjingle Which version of 8.1 did you use? I'm having the same issue even with the 8.1 I flashed.

I do not have the rules and i don't need to get kicked posting a link, I went to lolinet and used the 46-13 update which made the imei, esn, etc null. then flashing 9.0 fixed the radio/modem etc.

Thanks for the help, but I've tried all that and am not getting anything. I have a new moto x4 also, the same model. I tried backing up everything in TWRP and copying it over, but am not getting any luck.

Dowload the full stock rom of your model, unzip the rom and find those files, in cmd promt, use abd

Hi man, I'm in a almost identical situation as yours, so I tried to do the same as you said in this post. I have a XT1900-6, using TIM carrier.
I flashed retail 7.1.1 but still got no signal or wifi, I have mac address tho, but anyway, how can I reflash fsg and NON-HLOS? in fastboot?
Thanks in advance
-------------
EDIT:
I've managed to regain mobile data by flashing the the NON-HLOS.bin and erase modemst1 and 2 with XT1900-1_PAYTON_FI_9.0_PPWS29.69-39-2-4_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip (actually running android 7.1.1) but still I have no wifi
EDIT 2:
After that I decided to flash the whole rom XT1900-1_PAYTON_FI_9.0_PPWS29.69-39-2-4_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip and now my Moto X4 is fully functional with mobile and wifi connections.

Great!, the principal problem is find the "drivers" of the model, when you find it, you can flash any version compatible (FI, RT, AMZ) and flash only NON-HLOS and fsg (i don´t need erase the modem but isn´t bad idea). My X4 is XT900-4 version, and flash any XT900-6 version and works, be careful if you flash an incompatible version or you have a hardbrick. If you dont want reflash NON-HLOS and fsg, overwrite the files in the same folder on the rom and flash whole version, when reboot de system the sim and wifi are works. The only problem I have is cannot update via OTA, because it isn´t the same version of the chip and firmware
