Hi,

Can someone point me in the direction of fully restoring my phone to recover the sim and wifi and IMEI.

I tried flashing a global stable fastboot ROM, clean install. Gives me same issue.

Thanks.

Phone: Xiaomi Mi 8, unlocked. This is definitely a software issue, and not a hardware issue.
 
So would you mind to share the new information with us that let's you assume that you are not having an hardware issue?
You did already flash a tgz rom with miflash and expect more? Well if you would have a backup with all partitions....
And why is your issue so special that you open a new thread? Everyone who wants to help has to read two threads or you have to repeat every information.
What is the meaning of this procedure?

Ah yes. Sorry, is there any way I can delete my last thread? I made another one because old thread is redundant now.

My device doesn't have a IMEI, so that's why the sim and wifi aren't working, not because of hardware. I'm currently working on restoring the IMEI.

May I give some advice to you this time @LOLO9393? Do not expect too much. Who is not willing to adhere to the rules, will rarely give qualified feedback or even show gratitude. Those who don't expect too much will be less disappointed. ;-)

Google for Xiaomi Qualcomm mi 8 imei lost.

There are guides out there to help you in recovering your imei.

Well, this guy did already post that the "lost" imei is his problem and that he's working on a solution.
Besides the way of posting, changing imei is a legal twilight-zone and should not be supported here.
