Hello everyone,
While trying to flash TWRP today, I noticed that my Bootloader and Baseband version is blank in Fastboot mode. The phone boots up just fine and I can use it without any issues.
Whenever I am changing ROMs, I clean flash it, meaning, I go to Advanced Wipe and select everything except USB-OTG. Since this was a bit weird, I also checked the status using Getvar all in fastboot mode, this is what I got (if it helps)

D:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot getvar all
(bootloader) unlocked:yes
(bootloader) off-mode-charge:1
(bootloader) charger-screen-enabled:1
(bootloader) battery-soc-ok:yes
(bootloader) battery-voltage:3830
(bootloader) version-baseband:
(bootloader) version-bootloader:
(bootloader) variant:MSM UFS
(bootloader) partition-type:cache:ext4
(bootloader) partition-size:cache: 0x10000000
(bootloader) partition-type:userdata:ext4
(bootloader) partition-size:userdata: 0x1C4D8BB000
(bootloader) partition-type:system:ext4
(bootloader) partition-size:system: 0xC0000000
(bootloader) secure:yes
(bootloader) serial:XXXXXXXX
(bootloader) product:QC_Reference_Phone
(bootloader) max-download-size:536870912
(bootloader) kernel:uefi
all:
finished. total time: 0.027s
Is this something I should be worried about?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Have a nice day! :)

Any updates on why that's supposed to mean? I have baseband showing blank inside about phone too. And have problems with wireless networks (another long story)
Hi, apparently, that is normal, I checked my friend's OP5 and it was blank there too. However your issues seems to be more like a wipe/corruption of the EFS partition perhaps. If you have a TWRP Backup of the EFS Partition, you can probably fix all your network issues.
Hope this helps.

Yes, I've got to know that a few hours later.. Apparently I have a hardware issue.. Unbricking also didn't help to restore the efs.. Thebdiftware does but some minirnhardware fault is corrupting my nvram..
