Unlock bootloader - LG Spirit Questions & Answers

I've been retrieving the EFS folder (modem.img, modemst1.img and modemst2.img) and I ended up losing my device, it is in bootloop!
I have the .img files, but I can not get through fastboot because it is blocked, how can I unlock or solve my problem?
I'll use the commands:
Fastboot flash modem modem.img
Fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1.img
Fastboot flash modemst2 modemst2.img
Help me please!

No Service after Flashing

I flashed TWRP and the Stock ROM from here - https://github.com/motoxplay/stock (https://github.com/motoxplay/stock/...1563_LUX_RETAIL_DS_6.0.1_MPD24.107-52.xml.zip) and it's showing No service after that.
I tried going to *#*#4636#*#* and it looks like radio is off. I've Moto X Play Dual Sim. Any ideas?
Check your IMEI.If it shows put your phone in fastboot mode and enter these commands.Use the files from stock rom
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

Thanks. The IMEI shows. I tried the steps you mentioned. No luck.
Probably I'm using the wrong ROM?

Fix XT1625 Amazon soft brick after upgrading to -64 (or downgrade from 7.0 soak test)

Follow at your own risk. Unlocked bootloader required.
This is how I was able to fix my softbrick after updating to -64 on my US XT1625 Amazon G4. Credit goes to Android Doctor (his YouTube tutorial), I changed his fastboot commands a little though to better match how a real Moto upgade would act (based off of the flashfile.xml file in the firmware zip).
From here download "XT1625_ATHENE_AMAZON_MPJ24.139-64_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip" (Here's a direct link if it works for you).
Extract that zip to a folder and copy ADB/fastboot files to that folder. Navigate or open a command prompt window to that directory. Boot your phone into fastboot (power it off and power it back on holding the volume down key or just run "adb reboot bootloader" if you're in recovery). Run the following commands from the command prompt window when your phone is in the bootloader and your command prompt window is navigated to the folder you extracted XT1625_ATHENE_AMAZON...zip to (you can also copy and paste them all into command prompt):
Running the below commands unmodified will wipe your data. You can try to run them without the "fastboot erase userdata" command at the bottom to possibly save your data (I can't guarantee anything).
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin

fastboot erase clogo

Will this work on a locked bootloader?

I think not. Check out the youtube link I posted. The first thing you see in the video description is "UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER REQUIRED BEFORE DOING THIS THIS,UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER RQUIRED BEFORE DOING THIS, UNLCOKED BOOTLOADER REQUIRED BEFORE DOING THIS". I'll update the main post to reflect this.
I tried this with a unlocked bootloader and it worked.
I then locked the bootloader at the last step. However, the software status still shows "modified". How do I make it official?

I don't think there is a way of relock. Well, whatever you do and whatever you see on the screen or your PC says it has been locked again, the hardware counter tells the bootloader has been unlocked once. I read this from somewhere else on the internet. Correct me if it is wrong.

Reflashed kinzie 6.0.1 on DT2 - No cellular radio

Hi firmware experts! I have been working on getting a Turbo 2 working after water damage for the last couple of weeks. I am not an expert on any of this, so learning is where most of the time has gone.
After the rice drying, etc, the phone was in bootloop. I tried reflashing firmware, and I finally was able to successfully flash stock 6.0.1, but the phone remained in bootloop. I took the phone apart, removed a bunch of EMI shields, and scrubbed the components with 91% isopropyl, put it back together, and it booted right up. All tested components worked perfectly, ..... that is until I tried to activate the phone on a network. That's when I realized the cellular radio isn't working (wifi and bluetooth radios are intact).
Indications that cellular radio is non-functional:
*after activation attempt, phone call attempts result in the phone telling me to turn airplane mode off when it is off already
*sim card is being read but network signal not showing in notification bar or other such places
*under sim status in the settings the 'Service state' reads "Voice: Radio off / Data: Radio off" with an active sim card in the phone, rather than "Voice: In service..." or "Voice: Out of service..." as a Turbo I used for comparison displays
I'm not ruling out that there could be water induced damage to the cellular circuitry, but it seems strange and unfortunate that that would be the only issue that would remain. I'm wondering if I messed up the modem firmware during flashing.
Here is my most recent flash sequence with 6.0.1 (I believe I downloaded from mirrors.lolinet.com):
Code:
fastboot getvar max-sparse-size
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

I didn't have any errors.
Is there a chance that I flashed a firmware from another region (I'm US) and that is the prob? I've tried flashing earlier stock firmwares I can find, ie. 5.1.1 but I get 'preflash validation failed',presumably because by bootloader won't let me downgrade.
XT1585_KINZIE_VERIZON_6.0.1_MCK24.183-22_cid2_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
Would it be a good idea to try 'fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin' or fsg by itself? Maybe I could try to just flash the modem and fsg from another package, which I think the bootloader might let me do.
I've read that you want to have a backup of the EFS, but it doesn't seem like you can without root, which I don't think I can do with my locked bootloader? I do still have an IMEI.
I am trying everything I can to get this working, any help is greatly appreciated. If you guys say it's no chance of a software fix then I'll go back into the phone and check the antenna connector and remove the rest of the EMI shields and scrub what's underneath, but I don't want to do this until I am more sure it isn't a software issue because I don't want to take the chance of breaking things in there when it wasn't necessary.
Thanks a ton!

I have the same problem, water damage, replaced the screen and now no radio. Not sure on what Rom i orginaly was before. The sim works but no signal
Had the same thing.
You're using file XT1585_KINZIE_VERIZON_6.0.1_MCK24.183-22_cid2_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
There is a different version, for the model with an "S" in it.
Try file name: XT1585_KINZIE_VERIZON_6.0.1_MCKS24.183-22_cid2_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
This worked for me for XT1580
i need help, same exact issue. anyone?

So I just wiped my phone without handling the FRP...

... and now I can't go past the select WiFi screen. What do I do? I know my google credentials and all and I just want to move ahead but I don't seem to have the ability to do so.
Okay, I'm gonna answer this myself since I figured it out.
Basically, I flashed the wrong ROM (it was a downgrade). Beside that, there was an issue of a mismatch between kernel and the radio, so modem files required a reflash.
Required commands:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin

how do i flash just the modem file from the official firmware?

i tried
fastboot flash modem non-hlos.bin
but there isnt a file by that name in the potter_NPN25.137-83.zip firmware.
should i grab another firmware or try something else?
Hmm, the firmwares should have that file included in them.
Have you extracted the stock ROM from the zip (should be about 2 GB) and copied it to the same folder as your ADB terminal?
You may wish to double check the filename case and if the file name is capitalised or not (e.g. non-hlos.bin may not be the same as NON-HLOS.bin in the file system).
Generally, if you wish to flash just the modem, provided you have all the files in your ADB directory, use the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
Ensure you're flashing the correct firmware/modem for your device - incorrect firmware/modems can cause you to lose network access/IMEIs.
