Where is imei stored in moto android?

[loniryan]

root phone
type

adb shell
su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
than u wıll fınd modem port for QPST to backup qcn of your phone
lets ınstall QPST and start change ımeı wıth ıt...

after bacup qcn..edit ımeı area with hex editor..delete modemst1,modemst2 and fgs partıtıons via adb with that command

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p(partitions number)

for show partition number use this command

ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name

than that restore qcn and booommm u have new imei

[Nicogalan]

are you sayin to edit qcn file??

if not, how to edit imei area??

what imei area do you mean??

partition?? or dumped file?

is it plaintext??

[dest]

I wouldn't do that to a Motorola phone before backing up partitions because you don't know how the phone will react to null partitions. QCN is a nv backup of the phone, nv 550 contains the IMEI.

[Nicogalan]

yes, I know nv550 is the imei...

I have my backup file...

but I tried fastboot commands...

I erased st1, st2, etc

and phone does not turn on... it shows error...

I must flash modem again to get it to work...

I dont know if commands given above are the same, or different... as long as they wipe partitions... like fastboot erase

thanks

[loniryan]

if u will edit imei area of qcn...than if u will zero fill modemst1,modemst2 and fgs partitions..ur phone will be able to repair imei just with restore qcn

yesterday i was succesfuly repaired-changed imei of ZTE BLADE VEC 4G(based on quallcomm snapdragon) i will open a mega thread on gsmhosting for repair imei of SNAPDRAGON 200,400 AND 800 SERİES

[loniryan]

ALSO WİTH THIS METHOD
LG G3
LENOVO SNAPDRAGON BASED PHONES
ONEPLUS ONE
MEIZU
XIOMI
AND HTC M7,M8
ZTE BLADE VEC 4G,AND NUBİA SERİES

succesfuly repaired..i dont know what about moto..if i will have a moto i will try,just sony xperia series not able to repair with QPST.

[Rahul_Bhutani]

ONEPLUS ONE
R u sure ?
One plus one have some more partition of nv backup,and once you restore the qcn (edited) you will get old imei instead of edited.

I even made that partition zero,and restore but get same imei,so imei are somewhere else.

[loniryan]

For oneplus one u have to zero fİll all partİtİons...than repaİr boot..than flash fİrmware than restore qcn

[loniryan]

only After totaly bricked your phone will be able to repair

[Nicogalan]

is this command:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p(partitions number)

the same as fastboot erase modem_st1?? (lets say mmcblk0p is modem_st1)

or they are different??

I can not identify fsg partition...

I know about modem_st1, modem_st2 and modem_bkp

the process is with phone ON always?? or do we need to reboot??

if I erase via fastboot modem_st1, st2 and bkp, phone wont turn on...

I need to flash modem again....

I know imei is stored on nvram... could this work too?

[loniryan]

u are on wrong way..let me explain..u have to use following command for know which one is modems1 or modemst2 or fgs partititons..so u have to do this procces with adb while phone is on..

ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name(this command is help you to know partition number)
for example unix based android system mobiles have about 20 partitions
for zte blade vec 4...im deleting 15,16 and 17 partitions
because
fgs is 15
modemst1 is 16
modemst2 is 17
if you will use this command u will see ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name

important: after zero fill partitions u must reboot device via adb..do not manualy reboot because procces will be failed..

for example.. after root im using this command for zte blade vec

adb shell su dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15
adb shell su dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16
adb shell su dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
adb shell su reboot
(as u can see im deleting 15,16 and 17 number partitions than reboot)

for moto maybe u have to delete 12,17,19 numbered partitions,i dont know maybe 11.10.9...u have to see partition table via this command

ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name

[loniryan]

for editing qcn u have to use MiTeC Hexadecimal Editor

open qcn...press ctrl and f and untick ''find text''


if your imei start with 3 please search for 083a
if start with 8 please search for 088a

u will se your imei in hex format

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5r...d1E/edit?pli=1

this program will help you..to convert ur desired imei in hex format...edit qcn with ur imei and save...
than restore qcn with QPST

[Nicogalan]

Yes, yes, I know how to find imei and edit, and I found my partitions...

but I dont have FSG partition....

I'll try anyway...

I found a way to save partitions as a dump file...

but if something goes wrong, how to restore later?

thanks

[loniryan]

backup modem partition than if someting goes wrong push them back via fastboot or reflash complettely

[Nicogalan]

yes, but how??

because I would be pushing a file, but not a partition....

I am pulling a generated file from a partition, and would be pushing a file, not a partition...

thats my fear

thanks


edit....

I think I got it....

but I'll wait anyway for your help

thanks again
