Hi, I have to say I didn't expect that this would be such a ride when I got into this. I am now simply trying to have a working phone again.
I will briefly sum up what I've done so far :
So I got a brand new V20 a few weeks ago with the intention to root it and install a custom rom. It came as a H91010l with a security patch from dec 2016.
I got everything ready it took a while but then went ahead and followed this guide [LS997|VS995|H910|F800L] DirtySanta Bootloader unlock and Root guide by me2151
A few minor hicups on the way but I got the bootloader unlocked, twrp installed and then LOS 18.1. I thought everything would be fine and I didn't make a backup... It worked well except that I had no mobile data (French carrier SFR), only sms worked and also some notification issues.
After a break and looking for solutions I tried another OS tonight (/e/) and the same issues were present. No mobile network.
It's not to do with the APN (which I made sure was configured properly) but likely some incompatibility after tweaking the system with the root procedure. Maybe something to do with US996 files being used.
So I decide that I needed to go back to stock since I wouldn't find a solution from there and I did a wipe before flashing a stock US996 firmware in TWRP taken in this thread, the US99610f - SPL 2016-12-01
Result : I lost the fast boot and TWRP, the phone is stuck on the LG logo.
Only one thing works at this point, firmware update download mode, so I did a full partition dl flash of the following H91510e_00_VTR_CA_OP_1205 kdz which according to many posts should be fine. Nope, it doesn't boot it's stuck on the LG logo.
I have tried a second one that is old, US99610f_00_1205 kdz which should work too. It boots and I get into setup but it reboots within a minute/30s on top of being really slow.
So what I'm looking for right now is a solution to go back to stock. I have no backup and no root. I can only use LGUP. And it seems that my model is pretty non cooperative. What can I do ?
Thank you.
I was going to follow the instructions in this post and install the F800K10e.kdz but the lg-firmwares.com website is limiting me to 2 files per 24h so I decided to give the H91510e_00_VTR_CA_OP_1205.kdz another go. It wouldn't boot again until I formatted the data, it seems to be working so far.
I'm sure this is some noobie knowledge but most posts/guides didn't say to do that and I am indeed a beginner. I will update this thread with information on what I do next if relevant and if I can get my mobile data working somehow.
Edit : SMS work, 4G works but the sim card crashes when I call or get called.
Unfortunately I didn't even try my sim card when I got the phone so maybe it was the same onthe H91010l. Looks like I'll have to redo the unlocking procedure and continue fixing this mess.
Edit 2 : Notifications don't work properly either like on the custom roms... For example skype messages.

If you did not make a dump backup there is not much you can do that I know of. You can try and delete the modemst1 and modemst2 and see if that fixes your no signal issue.
hold vol down plug phone into computer USB cable.
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot reboot
restart phone into os see if that fixes the issue.
If so make a backup of you EFS in twrp and save it.
Your EFS got corrupted when you flashed the stock KDZ to root the H910 happen to me also. This would explain why your phone is crashing and no signal.

I didn't flash any kdz to root initially. I just started flashing stuff once I lost my bootloader and TWRP. I managed to have the H91510e working that's where I'm at currently as per the second post. I will try and root it again following this procedure soon. I have to look into why I can't call or get called first. We'll see what happens, but according to this thread I will lose mobile network when I root the H915 version. I'll see when I get there.

I know what's wrong. You cant use lineageos to make calls on AT&T network. You can get internet but no VoLTE. So your going to have to use a deblaoted Stock Oreo rom if you want a rooted phone with phone calls.
Custom Stock Oreo Rom Debloated & DeGoogled for the H910 & Most Lgv20 phones. VoLTE and WiFi-Calling working.

Thanks for your reply. I am using SFR, a French carrier. Is it the same issue ?
There has been developments since my last post. I started from the H91510e like I said and followed the [ROOT] HOWTO: AT&T H910 up to v20g (FULLY TESTED) guide by runningnak3d supported by a video from NewTechBegins. It went well until the flashing from TWRP.
I think it was my mistake to do like the video and flash h910-10r.rar followed by Magisk-v19.0. This resulted in not being able to boot, I kept getting the secure boot with password even after formatting. And after a couple of times it turned into a green screen crash. I couldn't get to recovery either for some reason even though I'm sure it was still there. The corruption warning message would appear almost instantly at boot and not allow me to do the volume down + power shortcut, and fastboot reboot recovery would not work either.
Reflashing the H91510e with LGUP worked but the system was particularly slow at first, it seemed to do better after a few minutes. Going over everything again, the part where we boot into recovery for the first time ended up the same with a green screen crash.
What seems to have solved it is to flash boot1.img from the root package in this [LS997|VS995|H910|F800L] DirtySanta Bootloader unlock and Root guide by me2151, which is different from the boot without extension of the other guide. I also reflashed the recovery several times, it didn't change anything until this.
I will continue updating this thread with the results of what follows next. I just have to install the h91010r now and manage to get to setup.
Edit : I just installed the h91010r with having wiped + formatted before and formatted after, it still goes into secure boot...

I would flash Auto_Debloat you get Oreo Debloat rom.
Custom Stock Oreo Rom Debloated & DeGoogled for the H910 & Most Lgv20 phones. VoLTE and WiFi-Calling working.
But to answer your question a lot of cell carriers are going to VoLTE only and LOS does not have that on the H910.
I made Auto_Debloat so if you need help just let me know.

I added an edit at the bottom of my post, it displays the warning really quick and goes into secure boot everytime. Could it be that the h910-10r.rar package you shared at the end of the thread is not identical to the original post ? It simply won't boot into setup for me. Any ideas ?
I will try installing something quick tonight to have a working system with recovery I'm done messing around for the day. I will look into your custom rom in the coming days thanks for your help !

Yes your data partition is encrypted still. You need to format it in twrp.

That's the thing, it still goes into secure boot after formatting it.
So I flashed the boot1 again and twrp to be safe, it now doesn't display the warning anymore but goes into the green screen crash after a minute or so.
I'm now back to twrp, I'll just wipe everything and install LOS to try. If at least it has mobile data that would be more than before.

Oh I see now, so it's indeed not the same package. That is why you had to flash H910_BTTF-mk2000.zip
Thanks for your time and patience.
I installed LOS 18.1 and it works fine with 4G this time (before reading your reply). Unsurprisingly calls in and out make the phone kernel crash with a black screen. I really like LOS and android 11, is there something I can do to make calls work ? Like flashing another kernel ? Does /e/OS have the same issue ?
If not I can absolutely live without calls for the moment, no problem.
Edit : I'm not getting notified of messages for Discord/Skype and not getting the call if the app is not open actively. Seems like it's not running the services in the background.

Yep your welcome, no problem. You may just need to setup LOS with your network provider. Do a google search for APN carrier settings for your cell provider. Take care.

That's the first thing I've done, I entered the APN settings from this page (3), and the results reported are from after. So do you know about other OS like /e/, any that would not behave the same ? Or anything I can flash on top to fix it ?
Have a good evening.

I am in the USA so it's in the afternoon for me.
You may want to try and flash you EFS from fastboot mode.
Manually reinstall your EFS on the Lgv20.
You need to find your Original DUMP of the rom your Lgv20 phone was on, before you downgraded your firmware for rooting.
Note: COM21 is what ever com port you were using at the time.
Reboot into fastboot mode
With the phone powered off hold the down vol and plug in usb to computer.
Info on what the files are
/fsg
A backup of your modemst1 and modemst2 files. So if you erase modemst1 and modemst2 /fsg should restore the partitions automatically. But if /fsg is corrupted then it will not restore them.
/misc
This partition contains miscellaneous system settings.
/modemst1 /modemst2
Modemst1 and modemst2 store information like IMEI.
fastboot flash fsg fsg_COM21
fastboot flash misc misc_COM21
fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1_COM21
fastboot flash modemst2 modemst2_COM21
fastboot reboot

Unfortunately as stated in my first post, I have no backup of the state of the phone when I got it as a H91010l. I didn't do one either while on the H91510e because I didn't see the point, it was already modified and calling didn't work.
Thank you for the explanation.
Something I'd like to mention for other readers is that there is one main visible difference between the first root (from H91010l with the old guide) and second one (H91510e with newer guide). The first time the warning message with the red triangle during boot was very distorted and duplicated. It was unreadable. Now it is clear. I don't know enough to say what was causing it or point at what made 4G work in the second case but this was something worth noting.
Alright, going into this de-Googling trip I did not know that many apps relied on Google Play Services to work and the Google cloud services, Firebase cloud etc... to send their notifications. I had no idea that Google was managing the notifications for most of the world and so much more. That only reinforces my desire to get away from it.
So these apps like Discord, Skype and others that don't send notifications it's directly because of the lack of Google Play Services. I noticed today that MicroG has a Cloud Messaging option but I will not enable it.
Signal works fine without any of it. I also found Skype Lite to send notifications so that's what I'll use from now on. Discord is going into the trash. I've read that Telegram is supposed to work too. So another problem solved. I have no issues making concessions on my convenience to be freer.
A website I came across which references how apps behave without Google : https://plexus.techlore.tech/

I took photos of my Kernel crashes, now it doesn't just happen with calls, which I could live with but also while using Skype Lite and looking out of the app for example, when I'm doing something taxing for the device or sometimes the phone would just reboot. Several times a day.
It seems to be very similar to what is mentioned in this post. Do you or anybody think that I should do the same and flash h915freedommobilemodem.img ? How do I go about it if so ? Is that something you do in fastboot ?
Also what are the risks if it goes bad ? I'm tired of dealing with repairing the mess and I'd like to avoid more problems.
Thanks.

If I am not mistaken your running LineageOS. I would ask in that post for help. I run Stock Oreo on my H910 because everything works.

Yes the post is in that thread. I didn't have this problem the first time I used LOS 3 weeks ago so I assume it has to do with the green screen crash caused by the kernel I didn't flash after the h910-10r.rar. So it's still unaddressed in my opinion. Should I go ahead and flash that missing kernel or the H915 modem ? I don't know what's the difference and both seem plausible.
It's fine if you aren't sure and I will end up asking there.

Hi, I followed the DirtySanta tutorial, used the US996 DeODEXed Rom. I knew this was a possibility but thought that I could get back to stock using the KDZ, unfortunately my phone is now seen as US996. I've tried modifying both the build.prop, and KDZ but I still can't get LGUP to flash back to stock. Is there anything I can do?
Service Unavailable is probably due the frequency signal issue.
Remember that Wind runs in AWS bands, while the US996 runs on regular bands (Bell, Rogers, Telus)
I'm sure the phone works fine if you use a Rogers SIM on it.
so, the trouble / solution is figuring out how to flash back the Tmobile / Wind modem back into the phone.
also set the phone to use the proper AWS bands 1700 / 2100, or the new LTE band 66

T-Mobile H918 supports LTE Band 66, try and flash a H918 ROM maybe? Or access the hidden menu and enable AWS, but you'll lose LTE and only have 4G that way.
See here to access the hidden menu but change 915 in the command to 996 or the model the phone is showing as.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/access-hidden-menu-h915-t3515098
Edit: Let me know if it works, and you get LTE back (not just 4G) I really want to know to root my H915 as well. You used the [LS997|VS995|H910|F800L] DirtySanta Bootloader unlock and Root guide by me2151, right?
Second edit: If you're going to try to flash an H918 ROM I'd strongly suggest you flash an H918 kernel that is suggested in the dirty santa thread, I think the Konverged is what people are using. No hard evidence either way flashing an H918 ROM would work but it may not as the boot image is a 996.
Thanks guys. I flashed the Konverged kernel earlier, it helped crash-wise but nothing on the signal end. Last night I extracted the files from the H91510e kdz and tried to flash the modem that was included but that hasn't helped, I want to try the CDMATool but it isn't recognising my account so I'll wait for a bit. I tried to use the hidden menu but it doesn't seem to do work on this firmware unfortunately.

Try this, make sure USB Debugging is enabled. Turn off phone. Remove the battery. Put battery back in. Hold the volume up button and plug in USB cable. It may boot into download mode or it may boot into the dirty santa corrupt screen. If it does boot into the corrupt screen , let go of up button, press the power button then IMMEDIATELY press the volume up button. Either way you should be in download mode. You want download mode, not fastboot. Make sure LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.1.1.exe drivers are installed.
Download LG Support Tool. http://www.mylgphones.com/lg-software-tools-download the 'Download and install LGMobileSupportTool.exe' link. Install and run it. If you've already installed the drivers hit cancel when they go to install.
Then go to 'Options' 'Upgrade Recovery' Make sure you have the IMEI number from under the battery and put it in no dashes or spaces. It should download and install the firmware if you've done the tap 'About Phone' 'Developer Options' 'Enable USB Debugging' but I'm sure you know this.
If all goes well you should be back on stock firmware.
Hope it works, it should but I'm not 100% sure.
The good news is that it recognized my phone as H915, but unfortunately half way through the setup it through a weird error. Part of me is thinking of restoring my twrp backup and trying uppercut again. I'm hoping that will get the program to see my phone correctly.

The good news is that it recognized my phone as H915, but unfortunately half way through the setup it through a weird error. Part of me is thinking of restoring my twrp backup and trying uppercut again. I'm hoping that will get the program to see my phone correctly.

What I suggested worked without the TWRP backup? Or another way?
your best bet is to somehow find a way to install the stock rom through TWRP then you can install the KDZ. Cause I had the same issue as you, i have a Verizon V20 with the US996 rom and it wouldnt let me flash the verizon KDZ until I installed NotSoStock rom thats based on the Stock Verizon Rom
EDIT: Just saw you got back to Stock. Disregard this lol

I didn't use the TWRP backup at all in the end. Your method didn't fully install, but it made the phone see itself as an H915 again which allowed uppercut/LGUP to install the KDZ so it was a big help
Congrats! on the recovery, this is a good reference thread for anyone trying to recover from a bad root, and needs to get back to stock.

Are you saying you have a rooted 915 with everything working?
guess not lol
I am having the same issue with an h910, but the service only works sometimes. Many times it is searching (and draining the battery in the process), but sometimes it will get service and be OK. Quite frustrating, and no way to revert because no kdz available. Anyone else with h910 having this problem?
Hi,
I'm not sure if I'm off topic here or not. I have an LG V20 H910-10c (Nougat 7.0) and I am having an issue with a Service not working after using DirtySanta to Root my phone and I am praying that someone can help me out with. I have already tried a Factory Wipe/Reset and Wipe Dalvik/ART & Cache and have Formatted Data to remove Encryption, etc..
Timeline: The phone worked fine in all aspects before Rooting it.
After Rooting it, I had this issue.
I then tried a Factory Reset and got stuck in a TWRP Bootloop.
I fixed the Bootloop issue with a Reset (Yes then Yes).
The issue is still there.
ISSUE: When I boot into Android, I get the following message;
"LGSmartcardService has stopped"
.....and I cannot use my External SD Card (TWRP sees it fine, I Flashed SuperSU from it).
I have Googled my brains out and simply cannot find any suggestions, except to perform a Factory Reset, which I did and that's what put me into the Bootloop and I reset the way you said and now it boots up okay, except that error message is still there.
I have not put any apps on the phone or anything. It's factory fresh (except for Rooting it).
I hope I'm not violating any rules by posting this, but the page I used to Root it has a REAL SMALL downloadable file called "V20-Root.zip" that contains everything, including the Batch files with the steps that they perform in them. I did NOT use the ROM, as that's ONLY for Sprint users and my phone is an AT&T model (Unlocked and my Carrier is MetroPCS). But I put it here, just in case someone wishes to bless me by taking a look and seeing if there's something to note. I am not a coder by any means. I do understand some basics, but I couldn't see anything that would cause this sort of problem. I did NOT install the ROM listed, because it's for Sprint users ONLY and I have an AT&T (Unlocked, using MetroPCS) H910. Here's the link to the page:
https://tinyurl.com/yacdendm
I really need my Ext SD Card to be seen! I use it extensively and it would be a real hindrance not to have it! Plus this is my ONLY phone (no landline) and I am disabled and must run everything, including my home network and laptop, etc. from it and I need its space for things I have to have available on my phone to do things that I need to do, so any help would be appreciated GREATLY!
I do need to be Rooted, so going back to factory with whatever Mpdel # ROM an LG Tool sees me as might make me unable to Root again.
Please Help Me and Thank You!

Hey all......I created a thread awhile back when I borked my phone trying out a new treble rom that was supposed to be so easy even a nOOb could flash it, and it ended up messing up my phone to the point where the only way for me to get it back was to follow the thread to disassemble the phone and short the chip out.
Then, the screen was not responsive on ANY rom I flash except for MM and it worked with any up to B29. I tried a few times to upgrade all in vain but I was always able to flash MM B29 and have it work again.
Flash forward to last night and my itchy trigger upgrade finger did it again and I attempted to flash the Oreo from ZTE. It flashed fine but, again, no responsive screen. I thought well, maybe I could try Nougat again and I flash many different versions and in different ways (used miFlash, EDL tool, MiFavor recovery, twrp) and all resulted in the screen not being responsive. Sigh, so I flashed MM B29 but now it will not detect any sim or even allow wifi to be turned on.
I have tried multiple times to reflash MM B29 using all the different ways above and even went back and forth between roms. I tried the original way most of us first unlocked the bootloader and flashed through all those stepped zip packages from B20 to B29 and still nothing. I finally used twrp to erase/format all data and made certain the partitions were formatted as ext4 and tried again, still no sim.
I realize that my imei is not showing and even tried a program to flash? that to the phone.
NOW, what needs to be said is during ALL of this flashing the phone signal/sim DID show......yes.......the sim DID WORK......when I flashed anything other than MM B29. LOL. Of course, the issue is none of those roms allow the screen to work.
Please, if anyone can help I would appreciate it very much. I'm thinking by flashing the Oreo from ZTE it may have changed something that the MM B29 rom is not changing to allow the phone to read the imei/sims.
I'm not sure but I think the DFU multitool posted by @raystef66 can fix the IMEI issue.
You have installed the correct modem for you device? EG: if you've flashed a U modem on a G device the sim and WiFi won't work.
If this is correct check APN and network setting in the phones software.
I hope this helps ?

I appreciate the suggestions. Unfortunately, the DFU tool doesn't seem to work for me as it remains listed as Disconnected even after choosing the correct port.
I have always flashed the MM B29 EDL rom (A2017U_B29_MARSHMALLOW_FULL_EDL) that contains the correct modem. As I said, it always worked before.
As far as checking APN/network settings, well, there are none to check because the sim is not detected so all of those choices are greyed out. The signal bars fr both sims are blank in the notification area and of course wifi does not turn on.
I just finished another round of trying different roms to flash including LOS 15. LOS came up to the welcome screen (just like all the others) AND the AT&T logo with LTE full signal bars showing. Again, the screen does not respond to touch so it's all useless. I am at a loss as to why flashing MM B29 is no longer working for me.
Stop using guides mentioned in Axon7 thread,or stop listening to other users.Only thing i see here are bricks.
Probably you have hardware fault
The Axon 7 has been the worst phone for being bricked.
I've flashed ROMs on HTC's, Motorola and Google phones all without problems.
There are way too many packages and bootstacks etc, etc that cause problems and confusion.
So I wouldn't say don't follow threads or users advice.
My advice is research, research and research some more.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Something to get clear.....
I can successfully flash the roms and get to the Welcome screen to begin setup.
MARSHMALLOW:
-screen does respond to touch
-sims are NOT detected
-no AT&T logo
-no phone signal
ANY OTHER VERSION (Nougat, Oreo):
-screen does NOT respond to touch
-sims are recognized
-AT&T logo appears
-phone signal strength meter shows full bars
So, it's not a hardware fault. The phone was working perfectly fine when I had Marshmallow flashed. It's only this last time I flashed the Oreo from ZTE's website and when that did not work I tried a few other roms and then went back to the Marshmallow B29 EDL that I had been using all along.
Isn't there a way to COMPLETELY wipe this phone and start from scratch? As in, when your Windows is so full of crap and running slow you can format the hard drive and reinstall Windows from scratch. I have tried TWRP and format data (have to type yes to format) etc........is there a way to format w=everything that might affect the sim from being detected in Marshmallow? Better yet, the screen from being responsive in other ROMS after marshmallow?

Did you installed a vendor partition?

I am not certain. If the Oreo update that I downloaded directly off the ZTE site has one, then yes. If that is the cause, how would I modify it?
@djprez: To my knowledge, ZTE's official B12/B20 do not have a vendor partition. ZTE will almost certainly never add Treble support for the A7, if they are going to do so then now is an ideal time, since the A7 is an end-of-life device and no longer being manufactured.

The phone started with problems since I upgraded to Android Pie, I have taken care of it very well but I do not know if it is a hardware failure, but note that in baseband turns out to be unknown, I installed several stock roms from fastboot without any success, also I thought it would be a problem of the EFS partition, but everything is fine I even took a backup in case the doubts, what could happen?

Did you originally update via OTA, meaning, was it the official update?
Then when you noticed it's not working, you tried to flash several stock ROMs?
One possible problem that comes to mind, is that for some reason, you have the wrong radio/modem firmware. That can happen for example, if you have flashed a ROM, which is not meant for your region.

Yes, upgrade to Android pie via OTA
I already put a stock rom of the same region, following each fastboot command one by one, but everything continues the same, I even installed RROS 7, to see if at least it turned on the wifi, and it is in bootloop.

Go with the modding guide index: how to restore stock ROM etc., and flash a stock ROM that you know will work. Flash the radio/modem file too, and make sure it's the correct one.
Just to say, I had connection problems too, and in the end they were because the sim card did not latch correctly in place i.e. was not correctly in place.

Great that you have an idea. ?
Here's an idea: take a backup of your current config in twrp, move it to the computer, take a copy. Replace the files in that copy with the ones that you want to flash.
Did you mean this? You are aware that you can try different radio/modem files through fastboot, not having to flash everything else every time? That said, go with your idea. ?

Ok, but WiFi should work even if there is no mobile data available.

Hello, colud you solve the problem? Because I am havig a very similar one...
Hello group friends, I'm new here. I have a similar problem, I was using the Havoc 2.4 rom, when upgrading to 2.6 I no longer recognize my SIM card and the wi-fi does not connect, I can not install another rom anymore, nor rom stock, recovery TRWP has been replaced by the Havoc and the Wipe System function does not work, and for a few days you can not stay in recovery mode anymore, it restarts every 3 seconds, not the time to click the options. Can someone help me. I'm without a cell phone, and I need it.
I have a similar issue after flashing the latest firmware. SIM goes to "SIM locked" every ten seconds or so, and Wifi drops at the same tie. It's like networking is being reset every 10 seconds. No network settings I've tried change that.
I've flashed several stock ROMs; the one I had previously, newest, oldest, both for RETEU and retail. I used Lenovo restore to upgrade but that resulted in soft brick, after that I flashed the latest firmware via Fastboot and that's when the problem started.
With Oreo, wifi and cellular don't work at all, nothing detected. With Pie they're connected and dropped in a loop. I can't help thinking that the Lenovo restore broke this somehow, but modem files have been reflashed several times after that with no change. I'm not getting the baseband error.

I have the exact same problem, I wasn't able to repair it so I sent it to service and tomorrow they will try to fix it for $35. The problem with goign back to previous versions is that you loose the IMEI and MAC . The problem with the pie version I believe is the baseband. If the service is able to fix it I will post the solution here for you to fix it .

I believe you already tried puting it into bootloader mode. If that's the case, I had a similar problem recently an it solved alone, I let it loop for a while and suddenly fell, into dtock recovey, i factory reset (with stock recovery) and somehow stock was booted ( i believe it was because it was in inactive slot).
Hope this helps you

I am still working on this, I actually did this to a work phone (I had permission to root/unroot). Something that has helped me so far is just getting familiar with the whole flashing process - https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...actory-images-android-using-fastboot-0175277/. I think from this article the problem lies in the modem/radio rom. That *should* be the only thing you need to flash on. However, I have noticed with a lot of roms on here, a modem rom is not included on the stock firmware. But that needs to match well to your phone from what I understand. I have tried a few modem roms already, unfortunately, but no luck.
I originally posted this on the Lineage 16.0 thread, but I figured it might not hurt to post this in a stand-alone thread.
I'm having some issues with the baseband/wifi after successfully flashing Lineage 16.0
I did do a complete nandroid backup in TWRP before flashing the copy-partitions-ab.zip, and I followed the instructions at the beginning of the thread, sideloaded the ROM, and it booted just fine, but I kept getting "No SIM card inserted" . Now when I try to restore the EFS and Persistent partitions from the backup, I still don't get a working baseband...
I even tried restoring the backup I made previously, but I still was not able to make the baseband work. I then tried flashing this stock ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g6-plus/how-to/rom-official-stock-pie-9-ppw29-116-11-t3892935 through fastboot, and since this hasn't fixed the problem, I tried restoring the EFS and Persistent partitions from the backup, but still no go.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Not being able to receive/make calls or connect to a wifi network basically renders this phone useless...
Seems the problem was that I didn't flash the correct version of the stock rom. The linked thread has the first version of the Pie stock OS, while previously I updated the phone two times after the Pie update. Flashing the latest version of the stock rom brought back the IMEI numbers and the WiFi MAC address. After seeing that the problem was fixed, I decided to try flashing the Lineage ROM, and that worked as well. Not sure what happened, but I'm glad I was able to fix it with no hassle.
You can get all versions of the stock ROM here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/evert/official/RETEU/

Hi, I get a notification to update magisk. then I update it and use the recommended action to update it. After that it asks me to reboot the device. After rebooting the device it goes to fastboot only. And I see the device now changes to US996 while what I have is H990DS.
Can someone explain to me what's wrong and how to fix it without losing all my data?
thanks...
Hi there,
all I can say is that is happened exactly the same to me just some minutes ago, I installed latest magisk update like I've been doing with no problems, just that today, after reset, its always booting stuck into fastboot mode.
I have a H910 and I also see the message about US996, maybe this is related to the method used to root the phone, If I recall correctly it had something to do with installing a US996 modified bootloader.
I still haven't found a way to get my phone back to life. All I can say is that I do manage to boot into recovery (TWRP, via the appropriate key combination at power on), so I guess I'll manage to flash something to fix this and return it back to life I hope

It's common knowledge that if you root your phone you never apply an OTA

Thanks, but who said I ever applied an OTA? It was magisk that wanted to update itself, I've been performing magisk updates regularly for quite some time and never had a problem, in fact I can't even perform an OTA phone update as I have AT&T variant but with a different sim...
Other times, when updating magisk, I lost root but never lost the ability to boot...
I was running alpha-omega oreo with mk2000 kernel and updating rom, kernel and magisk regularly through TWRP (or direct install in case of magisk though magisk app) and never had this problem before... at least I can manage to boot from recovery/TWRP so hopefully I will soon manage to get things working again... that is, if I can copy some images to my SD card that windows insists that is corrupted but that's another story...
I ended up flashing whole rom again and everything is back to normal
