Last month I replaced the Battery for my moto z and after that the phone was working fine, suddenly my wifi and bluetooth had stopped working.
The wifi mac address show: 02:00:00:00:00:00
I have flashed custom rom as well as the stock roms on my device but had no luck.
So far I have Flashed
- Android P Developer Preview
- Resurrection Remix 6.1.0
- Lineage OS 15.x
- Moto Z 8.0 Full firmware [stock][oreo][griffin]
- XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_RETASIA_MPL24.246-45.2_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-XT1650-03_CFC.xml_V2
Rest every thing is working well but wifi and bluetooth is not working at all.. Any genuine suggestions for me ?
Also I have hurd that its a software issue and it can be resolved if i Downgrade my android version ... but i also hurd that its very risky since i need to flash bootloader also for that...

This happenned to me as well.

I had replaced my battery in March and the phone was working fine till one day when I came back from college.
The phone worked fine and I drained the battery to 0 just when I arrived home. I let the phone charge to 100% and when it booted, wifi and bt were dead.
And then I tried flashing the Oreo modem and wiping modemst1 which broke my SIM functions as well, so don't do this. xD

Several people suddenly started having this kind of brick, this isn't a fluke.

yes i already read your other articles before. From last 3 days i m also putting my efforts to find a solution. the reason i dont wanna take my phone to Moto service center since in india they dont care about your hard earn money, they dont care about your device, they are always in hurry, they broke your devices & for there fault they blame you and ask u for more money. last month i had taken my phone for the battery replacement and while repairing it they broke my touch ID and they blamed me for that.. but since i already had a job sheet with me i told them I already have a job sheet and at the time of taking the phone u check the phone yourself .... & after a huge fight they changed extra 500Rs from me...
now coming to the Topic... even if it a hardware issue... i wanted to know first weather some chip need to changed or i need to go for the new motherboard only.... which i very expensive.

Yeah, it 's pretty much the same thing in Croatia. They're too lazy to try fixing a specific part so they will probably replace the whole mobo and make you pay for it. And if they break something, they will either try to blame you or just avoid replacing the part they broke.
Anyhow,I can eventually try relocking the bootloader and pray to god that the repair shop doesn't keep track of the unlocked bl IMEI list from Motorola.

Hi All,
Just wanted to let u know that i have exchange my device for the new one. I hope this information might help you. I had given my phone to the local service center 3 days back and they informed me that its a network IC issue (not a software issue which i already knew it) and it will cost me 4500Rs in india (three month warranty on IC plus 10% changes of damaging the motherboard while repair).
Options that i had -
1 - replace the IC and sell the phone immediately. since even after the battery replacement the phone battery backup was not at all good. Max 5 hours battery backup i was getting on the full battery charge. (I had invested 2200Rs on the battery replacement and not two months had completed and this issue had occurred so i was not in the mood to invent any more money on this crap moto phone.
2 - exchange the phone with the new one. (reliance digital offer me 7k for the exchange which i accepted it)
3 - buy any display broken Device.

how did this happen ?
I was continuously talking on the phone for 4 to 5 hours which made this happened. so I think this happened because of the heating of the phone.
