I would kill for stock

[1976sam]

Man I just want 100% stock with no head aches . Everytime i try to go back i loose imei . YES i have my efs on back up but it appears that every time ive flashed a stock firmware i have no recovery . Every time i end up flashing twrp to restore my imei . And having twrp nulls ota. I guess im asking if a proven way exists for 100% stock with out dropping imei and keeping stock recovery.
Im kinda sick of the unclear instructions , bullshit links , and no clear path to restoring stock . Get off the custom roms devs and give us a clear path to stock for the hobbyist .
PLEASE! THE MINUTE I FLASHED A CUSTOM ROM THIS PHONE BECAME A HEADACHE ! ATLEAST A WAY TO FLASH STOCK RECOVERY THAT WORKS . YES I HAVE READ EVERY SINGLE POST ON THE ISSUE AND IM LEFT DOUBTING EVERY SINGLE THREAD .

Just exclude the following commands in fastboot so your IMEI will not be erased

fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2

atleast you have your efs to recover your imei. I have no way of recovering imei. This phone is a garbage now

It really works. Restore EFS partition via TWRP (when you are in custom ROM, for example), then return to stock. Skip the commands I mentioned because those commands erase the EFS partition you restored.
