High guys wondering if anyone can help, i have an Alcatal pixi 3 (8) model 8070, its stuck in a bootloop, i cant find a rom for it, but according to an old thread on here, i can use the Alcatel Mobile upgrade tool 4.4.5 wondering if anyone can help, cant seem to get Alcatel Mobile upgrade software to connect to the servers to grab the upgrade file, it keeps returning a network error message.
I have search google, there are 2 videos up on youtube about it, but they are in Spanish and i cant understand what they are saying.
Can someone help please. as id like to get this tablet working again. Thank you
One of the videos is here. if someone could translate the fix that would be awesome.

Figured out the software will give you a network error if you have out dated upgrade tool.
Issue comes with Alcatel not making it clear which software you need for your device. as one update tool can do multiple devices, but are not listed until you download the tool and install it and run it.

Hello everyone here on XDA !!!
First i want to say sorry if there is another thread with this particular problem, searched the forums but i didn't find something related to my problem
Here's the thing:
A friend gave me an Atrix 4G for free, with no baseband and no IMEI number. All i know about the device is that he used OTA update and went wrong.
Here is what i know about the device
Stock 2.3.4 no ROOT and no Bootloader Unlocked
System version
45.31.0.MB860.Retail.en.GB
Build number
4.5.2A-74_OLE-31
(i think the phone was not on any UK Carrer because the system version, i saw that those who are branded have carrer name not retail, altough i don't know what "retail" comes from, maybe the phone is unlocked by factory)
What i tried to do to solve problem
Searched internet , found something about radio issue, flashed different radios via fastboot with no luck.
Found a stock image on internet with the same build nr. and system version. it's .sbf.gz file.
i used RSD even tough i read it can brick my device for good but i said wtf (turned off the phone and enter RSD mode with Power+Vol. Down button)
1 used the file as it is XXXXX.sbf.gz and rsd unpacked it and flashed it.RSD said "passed" the phone booted up with "insert SIM" message.Rebooted to insert sim but again no baseband and no imei number
2 i unpacked the archive with 7zip to get the XXXX.sbf file, RSD said passed the phone booted up with "insert sim" message, rebooted and again no baseband and imei...
in both cases my baseband number is N_01.100.00R ( i don't know if these are correct, i think this imei number is the one from witch device was .sbf extracted or something like that and after reboot the data from ROM is not the same as the data from NVRAM)
Mod Edit: Don't post your IMEI on a website full of hackers, silly
I also found something about NVRAM and it's data that could possibly be corrupted but nothing about how to restore it, and messing around with the NVRAM could lead to a dead device
This is not the first time in android world my friends have smartphones and ask me to root and instal custom roms on them and every time they have problems with their devices i help, but i do not own a smartphone because i can't afford one and that's why i want so bad to make this atrix work
Again i'm sorry if this is a duplicate thread but i searched around xda and google but didn't found the answer , maybe i'm too dumb....
EDIT: well guys i did it, if someone encounters this problem, here is how i fixed it:
1. RSD the apropiate .sbf for atrix, and let it boot for the first time
2. reboot or pull the battery out and start the phone.enter fastboot mode and flash a radio or the same radio as in your .sbf file
done! now the phone will have imei and baseband after reboots
edit 2: guys today my phone rebooted and i have no baseband and imei, the phone worked for a day and a half, rebooted twice, but today was the 3'rd reboot and went band, i flashed the radio but nothing, please help me

First, CALM DOWN.
Now that we are all cool, this is a forum, not a help desk. If no one has posted anything is either this has been answered before or that no one has an proper answer.
This has been in fact, discused a few days back and we reacghed the conclusion that there was nothing we can possibly do to fix it, other than take it back to motorola's rma
Console
well thank's for the answer, one more question, can i acces a debug console or whatever it's called, i mean there is an error after first reboot and it's keept somewhere in a tex file i guess, how can i access the "guts" of this device?, since i don';t have any idea where to take it in my country, and no GSM Service was unable to help me with an answer i want to mess around with it and learn more about android

I guess it can be accesed somehow, but never researched enough. On hte developemnt subforum are a few post discussing somethin similar to this, perhaps their op can help you out
I bought a lenovo a806 from China with loads of bloatware and I tried to change the ROM. Apparently, I also wiped /dev/nvram. Long story short, I tried all the methods I could google, even bricked the phone a few times,only to realize that no matter what i did I could not solve the problem with /dev/nvram.
I think the only solution is to find a nvram.img or .bin which would work on my device, maybe from someone who owns one? Is this true? Does it have to be the exact same device? And is this the only way? I've also tried to use SN write tool but for some reason it gets stuck on:
COM port searching and preloader handshake ok
COM port searching and Kernel handshake
Error: Connect failed
There may be other ways that I don't know but with mtk droid tools it is possible to back it up (creating a .bin from /dev/nvram and a .tar from /data/nvram) so, if anyone would be so kind as to send me these files, I would be most grateful.
Thanks!
Found the solution (thanks to Cihad for his precious help):
The forum doesn't allow me to post a link to the instruction video, but you can find youtube video entitled "(solved) Lenovo a806 imei invalid" by Cihad Eren.
1. install stock in SP flash tools (option format, not just download)
2. generate MP0B_001_NEW file (in description of youtube video entitled "Lenovo A850+ MT6592m Imei Change / İmei Değişimi") and rename it to MP0B_001
slowly:
use root explorer and delete /data/nvram/md5/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001
replace with generated file
wait 5 secs
reboot
Hi!
Thank you very much!I try it If I need that.Can you tell me what ROM you use now in Lenovo A806.
I need some because I am not happy with my now.Thanks!
Cheers!!!
Got a phone for my father, brand new with "invalid IMEI" ..trying to find a way to fix it
Damn all people assume it has root access, my father doesn't even had a smartphone until now, he won't need root access anytime soon, still struggling to make it work as a "regular" phone, damn this invalid IMEI

After a lot of digging it seems it might be the "Chinese" version of the phone which doesn't work with European sims ..I might be wrong who knows
It's not that I can do much about it, my father kept the phone as it wanted to use it as a "small tablet" ..so no fuss about it. I might try it but most things point that's the Chinese variation and that's why I'm getting invalid imei
P.S. If I find some free time I might try this to my fathers phone ..I would need root access and a recovery to flash it won't I? although I'm hesitating a bit, although I'm no kid.. but have you had a moaning parent over your ear? ..if I brick it it would oh dear why did I bother? ..if he's happy let him be
Hello,
I have a Lenovo K3 Note (k50t5) that I bought from China.
Since it came preloaded with a lot of bloatware and without an option to update to newer builds from Lenovo, I flashed the Indian ROW (rest of the world) k50a40 version and updated to the latest S121 version.
The problem is that the IMEI got deleted and I couldn't fix it with numerous methods I found in various forums.
I rooted the phone using the CWM method.
I tried using Mobile uncle app, but it doesn't have the engineer MTK option for some reason, only Android.
I accessed engineering mode through the dialer (*#*#3646633#*#*), and tried using AT command but it gave me the common error that it cannot send the command in user mode. Making a space before the + sign just gave me an ERROR, without specifics. I modified the build file from user to userdebug, and now I always get ERROR.
The weird thing is that I get a data connection from time to time, but I can't make phone calls or send SMS. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I managed to fix the problem! I'm posting this as it might help other people with this problem (invalid IMEI).
Just download an app called "chamelephon" from google play. it allows you to type in your IMEI.
It fixed the problem in 1 minute. Now I can call and send/receive SMS as normal.
Good afternoon guys ,
I highly appreciate if anybody coudl help me to fix the following issues. I have an alcatel fierce 4 5056N and when trying to use the unlock app i receive the same error no matter what i do "Failure in processing the request. Please reboot device and try again. " I have performed FRP and still the same , memory of the app have been cleared , phone have been reset and still same error , i need your help guys .
Bump
Anybody make any headway with unlocking this phone without having an activated SIM card installed?
Current MetroPCS/T-Mobile rules are 180-days consecutively active. Use the device unlock button while your service is still active on the 181st or 182nd day. After service is up, confirm IMEI is unlocked by asking the carrier if your choice.
I'm all for the official way of things (sometimes)... but I was given this phone and since it's a few leagues above my Cricket/AT&T ZTE Z835 (regardless of it being 6.0.1 instead of 7.1.1.) I'd be pretty pleased if I could just throw my cricket SIM inside without issues.
So i recently rooted my phone and messed around too much, now i need the stock rom. I download the Alcatel mobile upgrade software and started "upgrading" if u will, but it comes up with a network error saying i need to check my internet connection.
Am i doing something wrong, did i forget something trivial?
