python qcn_restore.py -p COM5 -f backup.qcn
Expect $10–50 USD. A shop with a UMT box can fix it in 5 minutes. Avoid online “IMEI repair by email” scams – they cannot remote repair a dead IMEI.
If your phone still boots but has a null IMEI, create a backup immediately:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist of=/sdcard/persist_backup.img
You can use the qdl command-line tool to repair IMEI:
qdl -p com.motorola.imei --recovery --id <IMEI NUMBER>
Replace <IMEI NUMBER> with your device's original IMEI.

Custom ROMs often cannot read the persist partition. Flash back to stock using RSAT (Lenovo’s Motorola Smart Assistant). Then reflash the custom ROM with the correct vendor patch.
