How to restore IMEIs? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed the official Vernee nougat ROM on my Vernee Thor and for some reason the IMEI numbers are now missing
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

Update
I've got as far as flashing the stock 20160504 ROM and using MTK Engineering, but when I enter the AT +EGMR=1,7,"xxx" command the phone says "AT command is failed to send"
Any ideas?

See attached screenshot

If you have database folder inside your stuck firmware U can use SN Write tool and then use modem and AP file from database folder write your imei and Reboot your device .

[Q] Acer Z200 back to stock rom

Basicly loaded a dual sim rom on a single sim Acer Liquid Z200.
was helped so far in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...ms-cwm-root-acer-liquid-t2960787/post59482099 by @Shreps, but somehow i got this message that due to the 10 post rule i wasnt able to post anymore.
Downloaded the last zip file, but CMW doesnt seem to recognize my SD card.
Tried to load the rom with adb using sideload, but get the message cant find device.
Is it possible to load another version of CMW, mount it with USB and flash the zip file from the pc? And can i use any CMW file or are the custom made for each type of phone/brand?
Any other suggestions, got no clue what to do now
edit 18-3-15:
Tried to re-load CWM with Smart Phone Flash Tool and got this PMT changed for the ROM; it must be downloaded
Update:
Did a format of the device using Flash Tool, MTK USB poort was loaded and was able to flash the ROM for dual SIM.
@stef951
Try to flash this firmware from a Recovery :
update-Acer_AV0K0_Z200_1.012.00_EMEA_GEN1S-sds.zip
It's the stock firmware Single SIM EMEA GEN1s, you should back to your original firmware.

used recovery to install the firmware for sinlge SIM.
However now stuck with IMEI issues.
Used Mobile Uncle Tool and MTK Engineering to get into Engineering mode, but get this message: "cannot find engineer mode app"
*#*#3646633#*#* doesnt do anything. Possible that Engineer mode isnt installed? And is it possible to install it on my device?
Tried to load IMEI with MTK droid gave me a message "Changes will come into force after reset", but nothing changed -_-
Any other options on this IMEI matter.....?
Finally found a solution to enter Engineering mode, type *#*#2237332846633#*#*
When i try to change the IMEI with AT commad get a message AT command is failed to send
Tried Uncle tools, but unaible to acces engineering mode with this app.
I can enter a valid IMEI in MTK tools, but after reboot its still unknown.
Tried to copy a new MP0B_001 file to the NVD_IMEI folder
but all failed :crying:
Still searching for the solution, but if someone over here can help me out it would be appreciated.
Phone is not reading SIM card neither, is this because of the IMEI issue?
Acer Z200 Working again!!!
GOT MY PHONE BACK TO LIFE!!!
Lost the serial number and IMEI, had to write them back to NVRAM using Maui META tool.
Tutorial how to found on http://www.gizbeat.com/6058/how-to-...-for-mtk6582-mtk6572-mtk6592-mtk6589-mtk6595/
In the attached ZIP the files i used for the Maui META tool
Android_Gadget_CDC_driver, CDC driver didnt got installed so had to do this manually.
MTK6572 database: BPLGUInfoCustomAppSrcP_MT6572_S00_MOLY_WR8_W1315_MD_WG_MP_V1_P3_1_wg_n
If you have the serial and IMEI number, go to method B under Restoring Values and add the manaully.
When loading the MTK6572 database i also got a warning: execution warning nvram database file is inconsistent with target load
Ignored the warning and just writed the serial and IMEI to the device.
Disconnected, rebooted and got a working serial and IMEI.
So happy that the damn thing got working again.

Can you explain to me.
Thanks in advanced

Imei Problem

Hello xda users,
Yesterday I flashed a custom rom (Darksense) on my elephone p9000. Everything went fine, that's what I thought.
My imei are changed to 111111111111111 and 222222222222222 , I cant receive sms and calls anymore.
Is there any way to change imei for the elephone p9000 ?
I was looking on engineer mode but...
There's no 'cds informations' on this phone.
Thanks in advance for any help.
reflash the stock rom and then follow the video https://youtu.be/w9POQK3kf6U
Reinstalled the Stock ROM but there's still no 'cds informations'
I'm really lost, cant receive any sms nor call :crying:
http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-12457-1-1.html#.WBzMwPqLQdU
This method returns me that error: "Execution Warning : NVRAM database file is inconsistent with target load"
Still having the imei problem. My phone is a toy right now.
Can anyone give me some help ?
Been waiting for months now to see if the IMEI can be recovered. At this point it's a glorified PDA...
Moved on to bigger better things...
Managed to fix it !
Thanks to @jay98shankar
1) http://www.needrom.com/download/android-6-stock-20160401/ Sign up and download this (dont download the latest official rom(810) this is the only rom which can help you)
2) Flash using sp flash
3) Go to engineer mode you'll find CDS Information
4) Avoid formating your phone using sp tool just - formating made all this problem

Trid this before but hell, try again.
Same results - after entering AT+EGMR"IMEI" (imei number, not IMEI....) I hit Send AT Command and get " INFO - This command is not allowed in UserBuild"
Still no love.....
@ultramag69
Add a space between AT+ and EGMR.
The command must looks like that:
For IMEI 1: AT+ EGMR=1,7,”YOUR NEW IMEI"
For IMEI 2: AT+ EGMR=1,10,”YOUR NEW IMEI"

Did as you said -
INFO.
AT command is sent:
+CME ERROR: 100
is displayed...
About ready to throw out the window....
Might just use as a codi remote... This is taking too much energy for a Peice Of Sh!t phone...
Download MauiMeta 3G, install the drivers for P9000. I think you can use the same drivers as SP flash tool. Run Mauimeta, choose something like "flash imei", laod file witch is named MDDB_**********.EDB. Shut down your phone, press on start and turn your phone on. Write your imei into the textfields and flash it. (For me it worked only with Stockrom)

[TUTORIAL] FIX IMEI ON Xiaomi Mi5s Plus Without Root And Locked Bootloader

TUTORIAL FIX IMEI ON XIAOMI WITHOUT ROOT AND LOCKED BOOTLOADER
Hi guys a few days ago I had a pretty big problem where my xiaomi mi 5s plus lost it's IMEI numbers, was not rooted and had a locked bootloader. Every time I tried to flash qcn with qpst it never restored my IMEI's. I couldn't find any tutorial online on how to fix this issue so I had to find my own. I decided to share the fix I have found with anyone that might need it. I hope this helps you
Things You Will Need:
• A Windows Computer
• Qualcomm drivers
• A Xiaomi Phone
• QPST
• A QCN for your phone
• HxD
• IMEI Converter
ANY FILES YOU NEED CAN BE DOWNLOADED BELOW
INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1: Download the Qualcomm drivers from the link below and install them onto your PC
STEP 2: Download and install QPST onto your PC
STEP 3: Open up the Diagnostics Port on your phone, this can be done by opening the phone app and typing in *#*#717717#*#*
STEP 4: Open the directory in which you installed QPST (Usually this is C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QPST\bin) Inside that folder open QPSTConfig.exe and connect your phone to your PC, make sure that you opened the Diagnostics port on your phone and that it is visible in Device Manager as a diagnostics port.
STEP 5: If you see your phone listed in QPSTConfig click on start clients and then on software download. From there click Backup and Backup your EFS. Please do this as I am not responsible if you loose your MEID or Baseband. Even though all that comes back with the qcn it's nice to have a backup
STEP 6: Now this is the part that I didn't do at first and therefore my phone couldn't restore the IMEI. You have to wipe your current EFS because it might be corrupted. Here is how you do that. Open the phone app and type in *#*#25327337#*#*
Then your phone should reboot and wipe your current EFS.
STEP 7: Now install HxD and open the qcn file you downloaded using HxD search for 088a click on all and set it to hex. This will bring you to the first IMEI that you need to change into your own. Go into IMEI converter, put in your IMEI and click convert. Replace the IMEI in HxD with the converted one. Then click f3 or search again and it should show you the second IMEI you need to change in HxD. Put your second IMEI into IMEI converter and repeat the process. Once that is done save the QCN file.
STEP 7: Once this is completed connect your phone to your pc and go back into QPST software download instead of Backup click restore. Then select your edited QCN file. After that click on start and your phone should start restoring the QCN file.
STEP 8: After the restore is done reboot your phone and congratulate yourself because you have just restored your IMEI. If you did everything correctly your IMEI should show up if you type *#06# into the phone app.
Problems you can run into and how to fix them:
Sometimes when you enable diagnostics port on your phone it doesn't show up on your PC. If this happens go into device manager and check if your drivers are installed and if your phone is seen. If not try disable and enable Diagnostics port on your phone again.
Sometimes after your phone reboots you need to turn diagnostics port on and off to make it noticed by your PC.

Hey I have a redmi 5 plus that somehow the imeis are shown as 0. I am trying to restore the imei numbers but every method failed so far since the device is rooted and bootloader is locked.
For more details you can check here :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5/help/lost-imeis-fixing-bootloop-t3881055
I am trying the method mentioned here even though the devices are different, but no luck so far as the phone keeps appearing and disappearing in or changing names in qpst.
But it seems stable in device manager. And I also cannot root or unlock because there is no xiaomi account bound to the phone, and I cannot bind one because of lost imeis.
Do you guys have any advice?
Thanks.

Please!!!!! Help me!!!!! Urgent!!!!

It would be so good of any one of you to help me for this problem;
Recently, using SP Flash Tool, I accidentally chose the "Format All + Download" option when flashing a ROM to my Lenovo A850. I managed to flash the ROM but the biggest failure is, I cannot call and use data connection. I also have an error called "NVRAM Warning: Err 0x10" at the Wi-Fi section. At my notification bar, it shows "Invalid IMEI".
My phone is Dual SIM.
I somehow managed to fix my lost IMEIs by entering EngineerMode. After fixing and rebooting my phone, my notification bar showed "Emergency Calls Only" but I placed a working SIM in my phone. I still could not call and use data. I am sure that I lost many important things (MAC Address, IMEI, NVRAM, etc.) when I formatted my phone using SP Flash Tool.
I am clueless on how to fix this problem. I don't know what I should do. I just want my phone to be able to call. If not my Lenovo A850 is useless. I am so frustrated now and I am so scared.
If any one of you are able to help me, PLEASE NEVER HESITATE TO HELP ME. This issue is so serious that it doesn't let me to have a peace of mind.
PLEASE I BEG YOU DON'T IGNORE THIS PLEASE!!! Thank You for your kind attention!
Hi !
In order to fix the "Invalid IMEI", you have to :
Dial *#*#3646633#*#* then go to "Connectivity -> CDS Information" then click on "Radio information" then if your phone is dual SIM, press Phone 1.
In the textbox with writen "AT+" click on it then select AT+EGMR=1,7,"" and between the quotes, write your IMEI 1 number.
If you have an error "This command is not allowed in UserBuild", simply add a space between EGMR and AT+.
It will look like that : AT+EGMR=1,7,"YOUR IMEI HERE"
And for the NVRAM error, simply follow this guide : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730486
Have a good day !

Hi. Thanks for your help. I fixed NVRAM and IMEI. But still, I cannot call and use data even after I fix IMEI and NVRAM. The notification bar shows "Emergency Calls Only". I have inserted a working SIM Card but it is not being detected.
How will I get my phone to call?
Thank You very much!

Hi to fix that correctly , first root your device but fbefore that enable USB Debugging :
1. You can use KingRoot.apk , this one work for me if it doesn't work for you search for iroot.apk or frama-root.apk or some other.
https://kingroot.en.uptodown.com/android
2. Download SN Write tool ( we will use to put our Original imei number ).
https://snwritetool.com/download/sn-write-tool-v1-1752
3. Download MTK droid tool 2.5.3 (we need for restoring nvram backup) .
https://androidmtk.com/download-mtk-droid-tool
4. Download nvram backup for your device A850
https://mega.nz/#F!CQ1jjZSb!3wlZPapiIuRTuiqVWt4jKg
5. adbd Insecure v2.00 (install app just in case if your device is not recognized in MTK droid tool)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=1687590
7. BusyBox.apk (install app just in case if your device is not recognized in MTK droid tool)
https://busybox.en.uptodown.com/android
Once you do that run adbd Insecure v2.00 app and check enable insecure adb now connect your phone on pc and run MTK droid tool , if is your device recognised press root to grant SU rights for root shell and click on OK.
now click on IMEI /NVRAM now click just on Restore choose nvram file which you downloaded put .bin file .tar file ignore and click on Reboot.
Now it should be working again .
To restore your Original imei , run SN Write tool go to System config check IMEI and check IMEI dual if your phone support dual sim and now load:
Modem DB and AP DB from data base folder which you can find inside your stock firmware make sure you don't make mistake by puting AP on MD1_DB or Modem DB on AP_DB click on Save now click on START , now you will see popup , write there your original IMEI 15 digits numbers click OK , take out the battery from your phone and put back now plug your device .
Once the process is finish you will See PASS your device will reboot and when is finish just exit from SN writter tool .
Follow this video if is easy for you :

Good Luck

Corrupted IMEI

Hello. I have completely and accidentaly corrupted my IMEI. I have IMEI wrtitten on back of my phone. ( I know my IMEI)
Im running TWRP Recovery, custom ROM (lineageos) on Cubot Dinosuar.
When i tried Engineering mode >Connectivity>CDS Information then Radio information and try to change my IMEI with commands in MTKEngineering or MobileUncleTool. (I have both apps currently i am on stock rom because there is no Radio information on custom rom) I HAVE ROOT ACCES AND DUAL SIM
No matter in which app i will do it, when i type command AT+EGMR=1,7,"IMEI" or AT +EGMR=1,7,"IMEI" it doesn't work. The first one always says "This command is not allowed in UserBuild" and the second command just says "AT command is failed to send"
I'm sorry of nonsenseness and english grammar.
Edit: Solved. I had imei file missing in nvram so there was nothing to overwrite. So i placed imei file here, but it was null so i rewrited it to correct imei.
