Funny thing. I finally got all the info and all the files to proceed with the flashing procedure. Everything good, all failed. So I go to the next step. That is, unlock bootloader to flash custom kernels and custom rooms to se if it works... And it turns out that mi device CAN'T be unlocked. Jesus!! [emoji19]

I'm pretty sure from my experience that it's just the modem which needs flashing. If someone is running a Moto Z unlocked on 7.1.1, can you do this in ADB in root and run the following command:

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modem of=/sdcard/modem.bin

Then upload the modem somewhere for us?


do you think it works on android 8.0.0?

After i updated the Firmware of my Moto Z XT 1650-03 i cant use Wifi and Bluetooth anymore and my MAC Adress is bit funny 02:00:00:00:00:00 .

I tried to flash a Firmware through RSD Lite but im getting the Error gpt validation failed.
After i removed the string in the .xml file the software is working till flashing boot.img and than i get the Error Phone Retourned Error.

What can i do ?:(



Just backup apps and do factory reset ,it's caused by upgrading magisk sometimes I too had same problem, u can flash new magisk itself after u factory reset (in recovery will be easy though)

! I'm stuck w/ EXACT SAME ISSUE! Thank U 4 posting. (XT1650-02)

EXACT SAME PROBLEM!
I can't recall what caused it or exactly when it happened but it's been nearly ONE YEAR I've been without Wi-Fi AND Bluetooth! Wi-Fi Mac Address remains on 02:00:00:00:00:00 regardless of what I try (Network Reset, Safe Mode, Remove all downloaded apps, cleared system cache, even gave Busy Box and Terminal Emulator a shot but it was too confusing. The only thing I haven't tried is Factory Reset which based on similar posts/forums, it isn't effective but who knows considering it was with a different phone and several years back.
Have you tried hard/factory reset?? Am I the first XT1650 with exact same issue as you? Or have you found others?
Although I have yet to resolve this, I'm somewhat relieved to see I'm not the only one looking for a solution to this abnormal issue regarding Moto Z Force's Wi-Fi Mac Address + BT. Please keep in contact with me, would ya? Would it make sense for whoever finds a fix first shares with the other? At the very least share with this community/post/link.

Bringing my update of this issue.
Took my phone to the official service, got a new board ( new serial, mac, imei ) and the issue is fixed.

Also got a new display as the previous one was lifting off, they said it's bended chassis LMAO

Few days after the repair, the screen has lifted even more, I think I'll wait until it gets off almost completely and than take it there so they finally realise it's caused by the battery beneath the screen which I told them previously and instead of replacing the battery they got me a new screen :D

You my friend, just saved my phone. Wifi and BT is back. [emoji14] Thanks a million!

@Op, boot to safe mode:

Turn off phone
Hold vol down + Power
Connect phone to PC
Make sure fastboot is properly installed
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
Reboot phone

Wifi and BT will be back up and running. :p

I read all 8 pages. Tried flashing the stock NON-HLOS.bin (along with the rest of the stock firmware, in order described in flashfile.xml)... multiple times... with and without also erasing the "modemst1/2" partitions, whatever those may be.

I've got a T-Mobile Z2 Force I was experimenting with trying to switch carrier ROMs with. It's hard to find a good T-Mobile Z2 Force these days, so I was hoping I could maybe buy a Verizon or Sprint unlocked one and reflash it to TMo. First, I wanted to take my existing (but bad IMEI, for parts/tinkering like this) Z2 Force and reflash it from TMo to AT&T. It didn't go well. Turns out the TMo branding is burned deeply into the thing...

Now I can't get it fully back to stock. Bluetooth works, but WiFi reports "Unavailable" for the MAC address during first-time setup, and 02:00:00:00:00:00 in Settings once I ram through setup.

Since Bluetooth works, I was able to connect to a Bluetooth hotspot and get it connected to the internet such to let me unlock the bootloader again (as otherwise it greys out the "allow OEM unlock" button, demanding I connect to the internet)... but no matter what I try, I can't get the WiFI back.

I've got a XT1789-04 that was previously running the latest stock Android update. Trying to flash it with the file titled "XT1789-04_NASH_TMO_C_8.0.0_OCX27.109-36_subsidy-TMO_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip".

Not got much hope for insight, and thank goodness it's a spare phone... but if there's any light to be shed, I (and hopefully others) would appreciate it! :)

UPDATE: I GOT IT! Here's the solution for me... I read some hints that the problem is a version mismatch between some internal (unflashable) marker, and what's actually been loaded. So, without an ability to change that marker, nor insight into what it should be, I just dug deep into the ABSOLUTE. LATEST. STOCK ROM. I could find. I knew my model number wasn't wrong ("XT1789-04" is etched in metal next to the charging port), but the version can't be downgraded. So I found the a b s o l u t e ~ l a t e s t ~ v e r s i o n at https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/nash/official/TMO/ - and constructed a series of fastboot commands. Turns out I needed to reboot between repartitioning and completing the flash, as the "system" image failed on the 6th part (.5), but succeeded after rebooting the bootloader and reflashing again, then reflashing modem and OEM and boot and other stuff again for good measure. Rebooted, and my WiFi was back to life. Cool.
