Moto E4 Guide To Fix Freedom Mobile Stuck On 3G - Moto E4 Guides, News, & Discussion

This guide is similar to my Moto G5 Plus guide, but is a bit more complicated due to not having a signed image with the correct EFS items.
WARNING: These tools can easily brick your phone, use this entirely at your own risk. Only advanced users should attempt this.
Requirements
Moto E4 Qualcomm version (tested on Verizon XT1767, but should work on all)
QXDM software (specifically, EFS Explorer) and basic knowledge of how to use it
Steps
Ensure you have a working QXDM setup, you can follow this tutorial step 1, then from step 4 until step 9 only
Insert Freedom SIM, boot up phone and ensure it can connect properly
Shut down phone. Hold the volume up and down buttons at the same time while pressing power
Press volume down button until you get to the "BP TOOLS" item, tap the power button once on it
After the phone boots up, start up EFS Explorer from the QXDM suite, connect to the phone (it will show up as "MSM8917" under QPST Configuration). You can do this by selecting the phone from the QPST Configuration screen and going to the "Start Clients" menu item and choosing "EFS Explorer." Choose the same port on the next screen, leaving SPC code as is, and press OK. Refer to the linked tutorial above.
Navigate to nv -> item_files -> wcdma -> rrc. In this folder, right click in the file list on the right hand side, select "Copy Item File from PC" and select each of the files in the attached zip (wcdma_rrc_fast_return_to_lte_after_csfb_timer, wcdma_rrc_fast_return_to_lte_after_csfb, and rrc_b66_plmn_support) and press ok (do this one by one). Ensure "Overwrite Allowed" is selected.
Go to the phone menu -> reset phone. Then reboot your phone.
Proof
Note: If you remove the SIM card you may have to do this over again.

I have implemented this fix and it works great.
Just some tips to save others some time.
1. You do not need USB debugging/Developer options on or the Motorola USB drivers installed.
2. The archive in the linked QXDM/QPST tutorial is no longer available but someone reposted in the last few pages of that thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73160851&postcount=1187
3. If using Windows 10 you must boot your phone into BP Tools mode before you connect to the PC. After connecting the phone under Device Manager you must go to View > Show hidden devices to see the Moto E4 appear 4 times under Other devices.
4. You must force install the HTC driver that came with the archive I talked about in step 2. However to do this you must disable signed driver enforcement in Windows 10. Unfortunately I could not disable this with the command line option so you have to do the following:
Click the Start Start menu and select Settings.
Click Update and Security.
Click on Recovery.
Click Restart now under Advanced Startup.
Click Troubleshoot.
Click Advanced options.
Click Startup Settings.
Click on Restart.
On the Startup Settings screen press 7 or F7 to disable driver signature enforcement.
5. Once Windows 10 boots up connect the phone that booted in BP Tools mode. Once you are in the Device Manager > Other devices you will update the driver of the 2nd instance of Moto E4 in the list of 4.
6. After installing the HTC driver you should see the HTC Modem appear under Modems in Device manager. Right click > Properties and get the COM port of the HTC modem to use with QPST.
Hope this helps someone.

(How To) Restore Desire Z to Original Bell ROM

This works and is easy.
1. Go to shipping-roms.com and download your applicable Rom, for your phone, from your service provider. Click on Android, scroll to bottom of list and click on "Vision", then scroll to the file called "RUU_Vision_BellMobility_WWE_1.34.666.1_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2_release_154437_signed.exe". This is the one you want!
2. Make sure you have HTC Sync installed on your Windows based laptop, this is what provides the driver for your usb to connect to your phone.
3. Make sure "USB Debugging" is set on your phone. It can be found by going to: Applications/Development, then check it off at the top.
4. Power Down Phone, or choose "restart" from your "rooted" phone and select "BootLoader" in the option list that comes up.
5. (If you chose bootloader from list as mentioned above, skip this step) With your phone powered down, hold the power button and "up" volume switch simultaneously to get to bootloader menu. This could take a few tries to get right. Keep trying, you'll get it. Hopefully though, you'll have the option in the "restart" menu of your rooted phone.
6. With "usb debugging" on and your phone in "bootloader" mode, it is time to fire up the executable file your downloaded in step 1. After it installs, you will get a grey screen program that shows your phone. Check the box and select next, on the next screen, check the box again and select next. Wait for the rewrite of the original ROM to your phone. You'll know it's working as your phone will display the HTC logo with a green progress bar.
Note: While the original ROM is being installed, your phone may power down a couple of times. No worries, it is expected behaviour. When the program is done, it will tell you it is finished, and your phone will reboot to it's fresh from Bell state.
Hope this helps. Wish these instructions were here when I had to do it. Lol!
Enjoy the Day!
If anyone is having luck with this, and this post was helpful, I could use the "Thank Yous". This allows me to post the direct links to the items you"ll need for unroots.
Actually i was getting ERR 155 but, it was because i was not on bootloader... thanks for the clear and easy to follow steps.
Now i got it working with stock Froyo!!

Well.. you can't root it. If it were rooted and s-off, you could have fixed it. But you can't root and s-off with a usb brick.
Try sending the phone to a service.

Error 16 - Switch ***

How to fix "ERROR 16 - Switch ???" on gs3 flashed to boost mobile.
This is what I did. Hope it works for you
Might work in other cases.
Take battery out of flashed phone.
Connect Donor Phone
test donor phone and see if you can connect (make a test call, try to get onlne)
if not <contact boost mobile>
if it does, then connect it to pc and get PRL form it.
Load QPST, under Start Clients menu, select Service Programming.
Click Read from Phone and enter MSL (000000).
Then Save to file. This will save a .qcn and .rl0 file.
In QPST, under Start Clients menu, select RL Editor.
In RL Editor, load your .rl0 file. Go to File, Save As..., make sure type is *.prl and enter a file name. Save file.
Turn off Donor and remove battery
Connect Flashed Phone
What You Will Need
The DFS CDMA Tool
Your MSL number (Sprint) or SPC number (Verizon, this is usually "oooooo").
Obtaining your MSL/SPC number is as easy as calling up your carrier and asking for it. They will freely give it to you. Other options include using the MSL Finder app. If that does not work, you are probably on Jelly Bean, so you will need to make a quick call to your carrier.
Step 1: Enable Use of DFS CDMA Tool
The use of this tool requires a non-standard USB connection (i.e. Download Mode, or just DM).
Open the Dialer and type in ##DIAG# (##3424#).
Click on "Qualcomm USB Settings" and select "DM + Modem + ADB" then press "OK".
Plug your device into your PC and go to Device Manager.
Locate "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port" and remember the COM number (in this case, COM5).
Step 2: Load Device into DFS CDMA Tool
Open DFS CDMA Tool. If you are using the Demo version, there will be a small countdown and the app will launch.
In the upper left-hand corner, hit the "Ports" button and select the port you found in Device Manger.
Double-click the port, and double-click it on the bottom to load your device into the software.
Enter your MSL/SPC number where it says "SPC" and hit the blue arrow. You should see the log show "Device Unlocked".
Step 3: Write New PRL
Hit the programming tab, then the NAM sub tab.
On the right-side, load the PRL that you want, then hit "Write".
Disconnect your device, go back to Step 1 and put your device back to "MTP + ADB". Back out of the menu and reboot your device.
Confirming PRL Change
Go to Settings -> About Device -> Status. Scroll down to "PRL" and confirm that it has been changed.
Take battery out of flashed phone. Again
go to "boostmobile" and login/create your account.
goto update handset
enter info for another boost phone (not donor, not flashed phone)
turn on 2nd boost mobile phone
go through the steps and test it for connection (calls, internet)
turn off and take out battery.
goto update handset again
enter info for Donor Phone (not 2nd Boost phone, or Flashed Phone)
turn on Flashed phone
go through steps, reboot
nJoy.......

Put a space after AT like "AT +" and not "AT+". Rest should be written as above..
I recently found a problem while doing method 1
"This command is not allowed in user build"
So the solution for that is:-
When we are writing
AT+EGMR = 1,7,”IMEI_code”
we have to give a space b/w AT and +
so final command will be like this
AT +EGMR=1,7,"IMEI_code"
Hit thanks if it worked for u

FWIW, this doesn't work on a BLU Vivo 5R running Nougat. Gives the same not allowed error with or without the space.

And just to add on, the terminal commands don't work either. They're accepted without any kind of error, but upon reboot there's still nothing there.
Thanks
It worked perfectly on Lenovo tab 2 a8-50lc, couldn't click thank you button though, its greyed out.
P.s: must have root access. Tried without root gave not allowed in userbuild.
