Hello guys
my problem started when I tried to upgrade from 4.4.2 (KitKat) to 5.0.1 (lollipop), I tried first to upgrade using Kies but I just didn't work it recognized my phone and downloaded the firmware but couldn't install, so I went to the other option "odin" I flashed the firmware for my region for my phone yet when it turned on I had a very week signal.
when I tried going back to kitkat I had no service at all and lost my IMEI and baseband, then I tried different regions of lollipop and kitkat, but still nothing, and I thought I lost my IMEI and that I need to write it manually using this box (I don't remember its name) until yesterday when I flashed a Turkish kitkat which restored my IMEI and baseband but still no service, then I backed up my efs folder and went on trying every modem in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
I tried everyone of them some gave me "no service" others "emergency calls only" and a third group didn't even recognize the sim card however all of them changed my IMEI to either NULL or the fake IMEI.
now I tried to restore my esf folder but it didn't work, so I thought to re-flash the Turkish firmware (which retrieved my IMEI and serial) but also didn't work and now I still have a fake IMEI which is weird because it worked before.
I tried every method every solution and nothing worked
I even contacted Samsung who told me that it cannot be fixed in Europe cause it is an international model and has to be fixed from where it was bought (Jordan)
and now um feeling really hopeless
please help

today i flashed the xxx rom and flashed the ap file via odin all went well and device was working but i suddenly realized my network was gone.under phone info the baseband was unavailable and my imei was gone.after alot of searching i found a site where a efs+nvdata.tar file was uploaded.i flashed that file and i got my imei and baseband back but mobile networks is still unavailable. ......when ever i boot up the phone it shows a unlock sim message........i tried kies,efs professional but nothing works.i tried to restore the efs.tar.gz file but it isnt working.i noted that my imei after flashing the file matched my phone,but the s/n number doesnt match but i dont think it matters as long as the imei is ok.PLEASE HELP ME,if a efs backup will fix it i beg anyone to send me a backup or tell me how to fix it..please:crying::crying:
so my nexus 5 screen is completly f***ed up so i had no choice but to switch again to my old i9500 galaxy s4
i didn't used it in a long time and it had a custom rom & root on it and all that good stuff
but when i inserted my sim (which is a new sim btw & worked flawlessly on my nexus 5) i just dont seem to get any reception & when i touch "Mobile networks" option in the settings i get "Insert SIM card to access network services" needless to say that the sim card are obviously inside my phone
i tried so much diffrent methods that i found online & on this forum which non worked unfortunately
tried installing a couple new modems trough odin which non worked
also tried to give premissions to the efs folder & change owner & it didnt worked
i also switched like 2 roms which now im on a stock 4.3 & i wiped all data but i still have the same problem
i hope someone here maybe will know how to fix this S***ty problem...

Hi bro first of all thanks for helping me out here but i tried to download a firmware from the site you gave me & its downloading at 15kbps!! It will take too much time to download...
is there any other source i can download it?
+ can you please explain what will be different from the stock 4.3 rom i installed?
Thanks again for helping out, Much appreciated!!
You should flash the latest 5.01 rom, not 4.3.
Try searching for the rom on updato.com.

didnt work unfortunately
i installed this rom : http://updato.com./firmware-archive-select-model?record=BF01B00E1F3711E6949E0CC47A44B7B2 (im from israel)
and i get the same exact problem
also im not 100% sure but i remember i checked the efs folder and it was empty...
am i f***ed or is there still hope?
i have the imei number on the sticker under the battery btw if that helps
Did you flash anything else that could have caused the loss of imei?
The imei should be able to be injected by a cell repair shop via jtag.

My Moto G4 Plus (XT1640) was on Stock Rom 7.0 everything working fine, so i got a OTA update, downloaded it and installed, at first it got bootloop so i forced it to power off (Power button and Volume minus) and rebooted it, but the Simcard doesnt get signal , only recognizes tells my sim number but no signal
I already tried everything, after the problems with the official 8.1 via OTA, i tried to downgrade to Stock Rom 7.0, unlocked bootloader , downgraded to 7.0 and it still doesnt get signal on Simcard and when i check the IMEI it was 0, so i installed TWRP and flashed Arrow OS 9.0 triyng to get IMEI and Simcard signal back, Clean flash i got my IMEI back but the Simcard doesnt get signal, recognizes but i cant do calls or use 4g keeps all the time "No Signal"
So i see installed "Stable Oreo 8.1 OPJ28.111-22" flashed it through TWRP and it is with the same problem no signal ... If anyone can help me pls message me or reply this, i need my phone to work!

What does your baseband report as, can you provide the full string (including the line after the .77R)?
Here's a similar thread with some possibly useful help. https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/help/xt1640-service-update-to-8-1-t3926054 in particular https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79437813&postcount=14

With that baseband, I'd try downloading the factory firmware (do not flash) and use the programutags.bat as I mentioned in the other post. See if that repairs your device.

After i use the programutags.bat i got my signal back for some seconds and lost it another time and now it shows "Only Emergency Calls" i check my IMEI and as u can see on the screenshots, ive lost my IMEI, so i think thats because i lost my IMEI using this that my SIM isnt working, i already try my Sim in another device and it is Ok. What can i do to recover my IMEI ? I have a TWRP EFS Backup that i did on Arrow Os 9.0 with IMEI fine, but with the same problem of signal ... , I tried to flash TWRP and restore this backup,it shows sucessful but my IMEI wasnt back

You may have lost your baseband downgrading back to Nougat, since you mentioned you had already updated to stock Nougat.
You could either fastboot flash the Oreo firmware or try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-moto-g4-plus-imei0-issue-t3859068
That script should have reprogrammed your hw partition and set the correct parameters for your radio, so I'm not sure what's happened to your baseband.

I honestly do not know - your best bet is to backup your EFS using Lyuu's TWRP as recommended in the Arrow OS thread. At least you'll have a copy of your modemst1/modemst2 that hopefully will restore your signal. Then flash ArrowOS and the relevant GApps.
You may lose signal if you revert back to stock firmware.

Again, it's up to you. ElementalX is a good kernel, though it really depends on what you want from your device. If you want stability, then the stock ROM and ElementalX (or flashing the stock Oreo firmware and then ElementalX/loony) are your choices. If you want more customisation, then Arrow OS or another custom ROM are your options. It really is up to you.
