Hi, this post is for everyone ho have big problems with the samsung galaxy s3 like me. My nature is to be curious, thats why i install many roms and custom roms and after that in the morning i bricked my phone. The imei it was 0049..... and serial number a number not throught. Practicaly my phone it was like a media player because wifi its working. I try many metods but without luck. In the past i make a backup of efs folder but after many metods of restore .... no imei. I look on my phone and i want to jump over his had ). After i smoke a tigarette on a site i see e simple metode. It is an aplications CHIMERA PHONE TOOL . Take a look on site : https://chimeratool.com. What do you must to have is to pay 12 euros. Is not to much because for go to service i think we must to pay much more. The program is very simple.
- Connect with USB DEBUGING ON. I hope you install the drivers for s3.
- The aplications (if you pay) show like this in the picture below.
- You have many posibilities: root unroot, flash new firmware from the zone where is the phone located. Its nice because for me is not important witch csc kernel modem bla bla bla i have. Important it was to working very good. You can repair imei, serial number, and.... MAC adresse of wifi and bluetooth.. nice. And not for the last place , you can UNLOCK the phone.
Dont make like me, first you must to flash firmware beacuse its better to be stock and new and for not have errors on writing imei..After you flash the rom you must root and after that write s/n and imei. By mistake in the morning when i erase imei i erase also the serial number and i dont realize that. Its very important to verify on settings if you have S/N like on the back of the phone near imei. After that the phone is working without any problem. In the past every time i flash something i must to install pached kernel and modem of ZULUMAN to working. Or ariza patch . Good luck, if you have problem write here.
hi guys,
i am in a bit of a trouble as after waiting for a long time for MM to be released for honor 5x in my country Pakistan but there wasn't any thing to hope for so i decided to flash manually and choose a MM file but when i put the update.app in dload folder and attempted to force flash it came back with update failed error after some reading on xda and other forums i found out that the update package was not of my region, it was European with with Denmark association. so i changed my region to mts/by (Belarus) and modified the custom.bin file in accord thinking that i would change the region back to Pakistan after up-gradation (poor me ). the update process then went smoothly and my 5x rebooted but right after that some thing strange happened.
the boot screen went green with red and blue boxes and i was frightened that i might bricked my device but after some time it shows the honor logo and setup process started.
secondly my sim card seemed to be not registered and required puk code. i dismissed the message and went on with the process. now my sim is not registering with the network.
also there is a massive battery drain even i didn't install any app.
the overall look and feel is not changed very much and also the performance is laggy.
Thing is that now i wanted to downgrade it to lollipop. and totally clueless what to do here.
i tried (Honor 5X_Firmware_KIW-L21_Android 5.1_EMUI 3.1_C432B140_United Kingdom_Channel-Others ) by putting update.app and force flashing it but the update got stuck a 5% and after 10 to 15 minutes it restarts.
please help me out, i am totally confused here
Edit: my device model is KIW-L21 but after upgradation to MM it changed to KIW-AL10.
Build number is KIW-L21C432B330
Attached is the device information.

I have tried to look for an MM for middle East but could not find it. The only solution for you imho is to flash MM for middle east.
Another way is to unlock bootloader and manually downgrade to emui 5.1 by flashing image files.
MM for middle east is available, clsA uploaded it

Well thank you but please elaborate. What do you mean by change my phone to original specification?? Are you referring to change my region or any thing else? Idk how to change region on MM and my device is not rooted. I tried to unlock its bootloader but the captcha code is not appearing in emui english website. I also tried the chinese web but it is not accepting my entered captcha saying i have not entered correct code. I tried many times but this whole unlock thing is driving me crazy. I used three different laptops,three different browsers and also tried it on mobile browser but the same thing happened again and again.
So whats your opinion in this matter, and please forgive my noobness

First of all, you are not a noob buddy. Only experienced users try this stuff. The problem is that Huawei/emui is easily messed up. Well, we learn from our mistakes.
I meant, you should change the region back to middle east. I never tried to change the region of my phones so can not help you there. Sorry for that...
The captcha code problem is faced by tons of users and everybody takes a different approach to solve it. I used Microsoft edge on win10 and never faced the captcha problem. You can mail Huawei customer care with serial, IMEI and device id and state that you are facing captcha problem. May be they will provide you the code.
If you can not change the region then alas! You are in more trouble than I thought.
I am on limited mobile data these days, if that was not the case, I would have downloaded a transition package for any other Huawei device (preferably honor6 or 7 as these are my devices) and would have used Huawei update extractor to see what partitions are they flashing for a rollback.
(Advised by DigiGoon to do this)
That would have allowed me to specify which partitions you should flash to rollback to LP to change your region again but that's all wishful thinking for the time being.
By the way, did you edit build.prop to change region?

Thank you so much for bearing with me and for such a detailed opinion. i replaced the oem.info file for EU by going into /dev/block/platform/hi-mci.0/by-name/ and also edited the Custom.bin file in Device/data/ and put mts/by (EU region value) text and cleared the previous text which was hw/meafnaf (PK region value).
one more thing, now when i dial the string *#*#2846579#*#* to check country/vendor info, vendor is showed as "hw" and country is "default".
Hi

Tried it, and now my phone is on KK instead of LP. also lost my imei
My build number is now L21C432B140
Model number is shown as unknown.
I tried to unlock bootloader but my current product id is somehow not matching with my device S/N & with imei 1 or 2 mentioned on the side of my phone's box. so no help there.
don't know what to do anymore

Well, to get your original device id, head to the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/bricked-honor-7-honor-6-id-t3468333/page1
I apologize for KitKat instead of LP. My bad, I should have checked in detail.
Try to unlock bootloader and root the device as i am running out of options until the region is back and as for IMEI, head to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/canvas-a1/general/fix-imei-perfect-fix-android-imei-t2943567
And make sure the file you are using is the one you downloaded for your specific model.
Hope, any of this helps you.
What about battery drain and lags? If they disappeared and firmware is working fine, may be just restoring IMEI would be enough.

First of all thanks for your continued and kind assistance.
The thread you mentioned for imei is for mtk users only.
And yes i got my device id and the unlock code too but when i tried to unlock the boot-loader the command came back with wrong unlock code and failed.
i think my phone internal specification (imei and model number is missing) which i changed somehow and unintentionally is causing the problem. i tried but couldn't find any method for Qcom imei changing.
battery now is not draining like before but lag is still there.
So despite all your help(which i deeply appreciate), i am back to square one.

You may wish to have a look at the following page:
search the web for "Huawei Bricked phone repair guide with DC Phoenix" (sorry for not posting the link as I'm not sure it's allowed by these forums)
It's something that I haven't tried myself, but on that page, if you look at Method 2 Step 3, they're describing a possible (paid) solution to restore your missing details. I should caution the following though:
1. My antivirus flags the link in Method 2, Step 3 as UNSAFE, that could be because of what it does (changing IMEI, etc...) or maybe because the linked page/software is actually unsafe. You should exercise your own judgement there.
2. It's a paid solution
3. You may have to go through all the described steps before you attempt to repair your IMEI and other attributes.
I have used method 2 to un-brick an Ascend Mate 7 successfully, but that device had not lost its IMEI in the process, so I did not have to go through step 3 (paid 15 Euros for DC-Unlocker credits to flash the site's own recovery, nothing else I had tried would work).
The alternative would be, as other members have suggested, is to take it to a service center if that is an option for you. Hopefully someone here can suggest a better (and free) solution that you can apply directly instead of the above.
[/HIDE][/STRIKE]Hi All ,,,
Last week i bought a used phone galaxy S7 G930FD(D is refering to duos i quess). when i dialed *#06# the first IMEI was okay but the second one was nulled, i never thought that is a problem before buying the phone.
The problem started when i flashed super su root through recovery, device rooted successfully but the phone could not connect to my carrier(634 01) network not available, i searched the web and i found this solution https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-fix-check-drk-imei-issues-t3379516
I downloaded the files as mentioned in the post, when i got to flashing the combination file with odin, i booted the phone into download mode only to find out the G930S written on the top left of the screen as the product name, but in settings>about device the phone name was G930FD . Now i think that my phone is actually G930S and the guy who used the phone before me tried to make it dual sim by installing G930FD firmware, and the brick came when i flashed G930FD super su root on G930S device ? if my device is indeed G930S can i use G930FD combination file and firmware to fix the problem as mentioned in the post https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-how-to-fix-check-drk-imei-issues-t3379516 ?? or i misunderstood something ?
HOW can i SOLVE this ???? and thanks in advance.
Edit: I found a solution, see reply below.
SOLUTION:
Finally i solved it!! know i can say that i have a phone not just a smart device.
I did a little reasersh until i found this Great software: Samsung Pro Z3X Tool without box at this site: https://www.gadgetsdr.com/2018/06/download-z3x-29-5-samsung-tool-pro/
It has a lot of features, i tried the Patch Cirtificate(Network repair) option and it did the trick ! wow im so delighted:laugh:, but the thing is it didn't work when i set the model to G930FD but when i made it G930S it worked! this tool even has a dual sim setting so you can make your phone dual sim easily thanks to Z3X Team.
[Solved]
Hello, im looking for help with the device MT6757 Blackview a80 Pro, i am in a bootloop after flashing twrp and then the boot.img. I'm not sure what happened but at this point i dont know what im doing
The IMEI sticker Model says A91s(20)
I went to Imei.info first to identify the phone like i always do and the name above is what came up but this is where i bought the phone:
https://www.wish.com/product/5ee1d03a1f665e34c259543f?hide_login_modal=true&from_ad=goog_shopping&_display_country_code=US&_force_currency_code=USD&pid=googleadwords_int&c=%7BcampaignId%7D&ad_cid=5ee1d03a1f665e34c259543f&ad_cc=US&ad_lang=EN&ad_curr=USD&ad_price=66.26&campaign_id=8701430383&retargeting=true&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpNr4BRDYARIsAADIx9yvT1qm2sgr07EDjsk1FRA2qIxwiaOK7tKVL8jrfRTFM4FN_YKzJbMaAjewEALw_wcB&share=web
from what i saw the device looked like a samsung clone and it displayed dis in the system about phone( i forget where) alps.L1.MP6.V2_WEG.L_P73 202
The device and the name on imei.info doesn't match the device i bought and i think because of that my phone is soft bricked. If i could get any kind of help or understanding to fix this, id greatly appreciate it!
Firmware file i downloaded and took the img files: https://www.getdroidtips.com/stock-rom-blackview-a80-pro/
TWRP i flashed: https://unofficialtwrp.com/blackview-a80-pro-root-twrp/#Download_Files
i also got as far with the SP flash tool as i could but i kept getting errors, including those in screenshots.
So i sucessfully rooted this device maybe 2 weeks ago... however bricked it trying to modify build.prop ( i still dont know how to mount system rw on this device)
so when i didnt have the firmware backed up i kind of was stuck so i ordered a junk phone off ebay same model but imei was blacklisted i did a full backup of the firmware and was able to unbrick my original device.. however the problem i face now is that it also copied the IMEI number from the ebay one onto this one.... ive tried numerous imei changer apps , tried clearing nvram nvdata, all that stuff but still it has the imei from the ebay device..... Im not asking how to change imei number persay because i know that is frowned upon and iilegal in some countries... but is there any way to restore the devices actual imei??? its a MT6833 ( mediatek dimensity 700 5g k6833) TCL t767w (30 XE 5g)
do i need to erase all paritions before flashing to get my imei number back? where did i go wrong? when flashing the ebay phones firmware should I not have flashed a certin partition pertaining to the imei ?
any insight or suggestions i thank you in advance
I can't help you with your question, but if you don't mind how did you root the phone? I'm trying to do this myself with no luck. My phone doesn't boot in bootloader or fastboot. It used too when I first bought it but after ota update it went away
with correct drivers installed (mediatek) you can use mtkclient gui or mtk meta tool... basically have your phone turned off have the program running on computer and plug your phone into the pc and it should automatically detect it or you can hold down all the buttons and mtk client gui should pick it up, load it up, from there can unlock bootloader and , backup firmware, flash firmware and so on
