i’ve flashed the stock firmware of pie 9.0 to my a8 2018 after i had a bootloop, but now the imei doesn’t, i have a sticker with the imei’s on it but i dont know how to fix it, i’ve got a backup of the broken imei’s efs folder but not the working one, can someone please help me sorry for my bad english :3
did you flashed twrp recovery? because i had the same problem but it was with android 8 oreo and there was this custom kernel (mck custom kernel) that fixed the imei and the cellular network because it was not working, but i dont think it works on android 9 pie, but havent tested it
