WIFI, Bluetooth and Baseband dead

[The Marionette]

Hey guys.

My WIFI suddenly stopped working along with Bluetooth and no rom fixed it. So I tried flashing the modem of the Oreo OTA and I wiped the modemst1 by accident...
Long story short, WIFI/Bluetooth can't be enabled and even though the phone recognizes the SIM card, there's no signal and I can't make calls/send or receive messages ( the IMEI is 0 ).
I've tried going back to stock but the issue persisted.

I've heard that other SD820 phones used QPST but the Moto Z can't use the Diag Port so that one fell into the water.

Can anyone help me?
I just need to restore the baseband, even if it's from someone else's Z, and I can change the IMEI back to mine after restoring if the IMEI even gets duplicated.

EDIT
Fastboot getvar all showed that my IMEI is still present but I can't get it to appear in the OS...

I don't thinking wiping modemst1 has to do with anything. I'd recommend you flash stock Oreo from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/development/stock-moto-z-8-0-firmware-t3805226
It should fix your problem.

I was on stock 7.1.1 with stock Oreo bootloader and had imei 0. But after flashing back to Oreo, I had my imei back. If it doesn't work, unlock bootloader and flash custom kernel. I recommend ElementalX Kernel 3.0.0 for stock OREO. Good luck.

The sad part is that I was on my AEX build and after I came back from college, everything was working untill the phone discharded and shut down. After a full charge, wifi was gone. Then I flashed the modem and some other parts on top of aex which caused the disappearance of the IMEI.
I did try flashing that exact firmware and nothing changed besides my baseband returning. The only guess I can make is to possibly try going to pure stock and relocking the bootloader ( other Moto phones actually got fixed that way )...

I don't think it's possible to relock the bootloader. Have you tried full flash using the official firmware I recommended? Flashing some parts of it will not fix anything for you. Try full flash having it in mind that all your data will be lost.

I flashed everything in proper order besides the bootloader ( I already have that version, it would be rejected anyways).
I even tried wiping everything but it was still not helpful.

I have had it with this phone. I spent so much money replacing the battery and the motherboard and it suddenly craps out on me like this.
I've put it up for parts and my Xiaomi Mi 8 SE will arrive next week.
No more Motorola for me, a flagship phone shouldn't have this ****ty situations happening, especially when I didn't touch anything to begin with ( if I modified something myself, I would be okay with it, but this time it seriously died on its own ) .

So sorry to hear this.

My Moto Z has the WiFi bug too. But Bluetooth works though. It's very annoying because I've tried various fixes and different custom roms which didn't fix the problem. Maybe it's hardware? I wouldn't know. But I'm managing it for now until I get another phone.

other possible solutions is this:

How to Fix EFS over ADB

Setup ADB and Fastboot on your PC.
Enable Developer options & USB debugging on your Android device.
Connect your device to the PC and open a command window on the PC.
Issue the following commands one by one:
adb shell 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1'
adb shell 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2'
adb reboot


How to Fix EFS from Bootloader Mode using Fastboot commands

Setup ADB and Fastboot on your PC.
Enable Developer options & USB debugging on your Android device.
Connect your device to the PC and open a command window on the PC.
Issue the following commands one by one:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot reboot


How to Fix EFS from TWRP recovery

Boot into TWRP recovery.
From TWRP’s main screen, selectAdvanced » then Terminal.
Type the following commands in terminal (one by one):
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2
Reboot device.


Edit: Those using twrp may experience efs restoration issues.


While creating the backup of EFS, you will end up with:
efs1.emmc.win (modemst1 partition raw data)
efs2.emmc.win (modemst2 partition raw data)

When restoring this EFS backup, what happened was the file name was not updated for restore, and you ended up with:
Restoring EFS…
Restoring efs1.emmc.win to modemst1
Restoring efs1.emmc.win to modemst2

It should have been:
Restoring EFS…
Restoring efs1.emmc.win to modemst1
Restoring efs2.emmc.win to modemst2

Twrp issue, the steps above will restore your devices.

I appreciate the help but it sadly didn't fix anything. :/

if you have acces to the fastboot commands, could you try to boot into twrp?, cause i have a backup, that can help you i guess

I have access to everything, everything besides the wifi, bluetooth and sim functions works.

Mmm very weird, i have a full backup of my phone and sharing you, but i have the doubt if you restore it cause a hardbrick, if you wanna try, i can upload or share the link

I't not a hard brick, the phone boots. Wifi, Bluetooth and SIM functions are the only things that are dead. xD

Sorry, I expressed myself badly, what I wanted to say is that your case is a strange situation, by the way, I have a full backup of my phone and if you want, I can share it so you can try flashing it and see if you can recover the wifi, although I think it could end up in a hard brick so it is risky to try it. Tell me if you're interested in flashing my backup
