So I made a thing. I'll make information technology into a flashable cypher shortly (it'll exist on github). Tested on XT1687. I literally wrote out the commands to exercise the fill-in for you, if you **** this up it'southward not my fault.

Enables NFC, DTV, and Dual SIM. Y'all might need to do more modifications or install additional APKs for DTV support, NFC might be ROM dependent or hardware dependent, it's enabled though.
Reboot to recovery (TWRP), run commands, enjoy?

                              adb vanquish "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p50 of=/tmp/mmcblk0p50.bak"; adb pull /tmp/mmcblk0p50.bak wget https://github.com/NiteSnow/Motorola-G5-Plus-MODs/raw/chief/p50.mod.bin; adb push p50.mod.bin /tmp/p50.mod.bin; adb beat "dd if=/tmp/p50.modernistic.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p50"

I highly doubtfulness they work because the models lack the hardware

I agree, it doesn't cause whatever issues to take those extra options enabled but the dual sim mod does work, it has the contacts to be able to support dual sim. I but don't take another sim to test with correct this second. I'g going to look into adding an boosted IMEI for sim2 via QPST.

• #4

Does the enabled NFC work?

• #5

Would this assistance with a non working data issue for the same telephone?

Hey I've got a question for ya, and i can't seem to find a straight reply in this forum. I've got the Moto G5 Plus X1687 as well, only no matter what rom I wink, i tin't get data to work every bit it should. I'1000 using Boost Mobile every bit my carrier. Any chance this could exist of use to me?

Would be awesome if you could get dual sim to work. Peradventure it can work with the aforementioned IMEI equally long as the second sim is a completely different provider / network? Such as sim i Verizon, sim two AT&T.

Hey I've got a question for ya, and i tin can't seem to find a straight answer in this forum. I've got the Moto G5 Plus X1687 as well, but no matter what rom I wink, i tin can't get information to work every bit information technology should. I'm using Boost Mobile as my carrier.

Did information work on the stock rom? Did you do any PRL update or activation on the telephone? A PRL update normally gets the APNs needed for information service. You can also fill in your APN settings manually if necessary. Permit me know if information technology works or not. I'k interested in getting a g5+ to use on a sprint MVNO like boost.

Deplorable for the belatedly reply. While I haven't tried your MOD yet, I did have one of those fun scary and patience testing amateur technology "expert" experiences that caused my IMEI to get wiped from my telephone. I simply don't similar to wait or read instructions thoroughly sometimes and rush into any pretty, feature packed ROM blissfully unaware of the horrors of not existence able to use ane'south phone ( I couldn't work, or gild pizza for a few days, it wasn't that bad though). BUT I will say that deleting the modem files in my version and then flashing back to stock (or flashing an sometime recovery that previously didn't work until I tried a more current TWRP) put me right back where I needed to be with my information connection at 4G. I suspect this could piece of work any time (with this model of the phone at least) that something goes awry with the data connection and putting in a new flashy rom.

I simply did the whole: fastboot delete modemst1
fastboot delete modemst2
Rebooted the phone, permit it sit for a half hour, noticed data dorsum up and then flashed the rom of my choice. Mostly works every time, even if going back to a recovery backup doesn't practice the trick.

Now keep in mind that I'm not a pro, I just similar to think that I am, and based on what you meet here, you may want to dig a little deeper in the forums of XDA because if you do it my way, YMMV.

Happy flashing!

Is there a way to go the dual SIM (or SIM2) working for the unrooted versions. I can't go it to work on my XT1685 phone

• #9

I tin can confirm the mod works and the 2d SIM slot is recognized and recognizes a SIM inserted into it, including its phone number. Notwithstanding I can't register on the network equally the SIM 2 does non take an IMEI set. Could anyone suggest if it is possible to ready a random IMEI for the second SIM slot?

This is a Us XT1687. I tried fastboot erase modemst2 for expert measure and it didn't pull it back in.

No luck for me. I did the modernistic using Root Browser as I kept getting read only file organization errors when trying to use the adb commands. I don't see anything different in the system menus on my Moto G5 plus on Sprint. I'yard on build NPN25.137-83. Perchance it's because I'yard on a CDMA carrier?

Edit: I got the modern working later on I did it a second fourth dimension over writing the mmcblk0p50 file directly into the /dev/cake/ directory. I don't have a 2nd SIM or the dual sim ard tray all the same, so I can't test with a second SIM card.

One indicator of possible future success is if you become to About phone in settings, you should come across the IMEI for SIM 1 and if y'all see 0 for the IMEI for SIM ii y'all're stuck where I am. If there's a existent number there you're at least further along than I made it. If y'all're at null, fifty-fifty if the second SIM works information technology won't register on a network.

• #12

I've got the same, IMEI for SIM two is at 0.

• #thirteen

I tin confirm the mod works and the second SIM slot is recognized and recognizes a SIM inserted into it, including its phone number. However I can't register on the network as the SIM 2 does not accept an IMEI prepare. Could anyone advise if it is possible to set a random IMEI for the 2d SIM slot?

Then, I'thousand at the same betoken. I got the dual sim card tray and activated a SIM on a different network. Only SIM one works. SIM ii is e'er searching for a network no matter which SIM is in the SIM two slot. I haven't tried fastboot erase modemst2 and flashing a stock ROM. Non sure if it'south worth the problem.

Possibly a niggling progress. I tried following this guide using QPST to enter an IMEI ii for my Moto G5 plus: https://www.androidbrick.com/ultima...agon-xiaomi-mi5-imei-and-baseband-repair-fix/

To get the Moto G5 Plus to be recognized by QPST, I had to kick to QCOM mode. Offset kick to recovery then select QCOM and start the telephone. I couldn't brand a Software Download backup using a CDMA sim card as I got an error stating "could non download PRL." I stuck in a GSM sim bill of fare and made a backup in Software Download. Although the backup said complete, the full progress stopped at 99%. I waited 10 to xv minutes then shut QPST down. I can read the software download backup QCN file per the guide in a Hex editor and found my IMEI 1 number. I don't know where the IMEI 2 number should be entered. Assuming the Hex location will brainstorm with 080A, I searched for this string and found information technology twice within the QCN file. Nosotros probably need a QCN backup file from a Moto G5 plus that has the IMEI 2 number written and then nosotros can search for information technology and overwrite it with our own. Since the Moto G5 Plus is a dual sim standby telephone, I believe IMEI 2 should be the same as IMEI ane.

any news almost working dual sim?

I retrieve nosotros need a QCN fill-in from a working dual sim telephone to know where to input the SIM 2 IMEI. I'1000 yet at the bespeak where SIM 2 does not annals on the network.

Dual Sim Moto G5 plus user here. The phone has 2 different Imeis (i for each sim). How could I provide y'all with a QCN backup file?

Maybe a little progress. I tried post-obit this guide using QPST to enter an IMEI 2 for my Moto G5 plus: https://world wide web.androidbrick.com/ultima...agon-xiaomi-mi5-imei-and-baseband-repair-fix/

To get the Moto G5 Plus to be recognized past QPST, I had to boot to QCOM mode. Starting time boot to recovery then select QCOM and start the phone. I couldn't make a Software Download backup using a CDMA sim card as I got an fault stating "could not download PRL." I stuck in a GSM sim card and made a backup in Software Download. Although the fill-in said complete, the total progress stopped at 99%. I waited 10 to 15 minutes then shut QPST down. I can read the software download backup QCN file per the guide in a Hex editor and plant my IMEI 1 number. I don't know where the IMEI 2 number should be entered. Bold the Hex location will brainstorm with 080A, I searched for this string and found it twice within the QCN file. We probably need a QCN backup file from a Moto G5 plus that has the IMEI 2 number written then nosotros tin search for it and overwrite it with our own. Since the Moto G5 Plus is a dual sim standby phone, I believe IMEI two should be the same as IMEI ane.

Hmmm.. Would swapping out the motherboard with a dual sim ane work?

Hmmm.. Would swapping out the motherboard with a dual sim one work?

I remember it should work simply I may be wrong and would wait for someone with a considerable amount of experience in this area to annotate here. Merely aren't motherboards fairly expensive?
