This utility will help you recover your IMEI / MEID from a bad flash.
WARNING:
This software only allows you to write to the device if the IMEI / MEID is zero'd out or does not contain anything.
DO NOT WRITE SOMETHING YOU DON'T WANT. IF YOU WRITE THE WRONG IMEI / MEID YOU ARE SCREWED.
I do not condone changing / modifying / tampering with the serial IT IS ILLEGAL. It is however legal to recover the original one, that is what this software will allow you to do.
I will not answer PM's because you typed the wrong serial number or because you tried something you shouldn't have. This is a fair warning. Make sure you type your original serial number in correctly the first time. Both boxes must match.
[How To Use]
1.) Plug device into computer.
2.) Select Internet Connection Mode, select Modem.
3.) Open device manager to see what COM your device is on.
4.) Open software and select the COM, there is two the device will connect on, you only need to write the information to one of them.
5.) Click on Connect.
6.) Type/Paste you're MEID/IMEI, verify it before you click Repair.
7.) Verify again.
8.) Click repair, wait for software to reboot your device.
9.) If the phone doesn't reboot after 1 Min, go ahead and reboot your device.
10.) Enjoy your ICS rom on your working VS920 device.
[Problems]
Q.) What do I need in order to run the software?
A.) Just dotnet 4.0
Q.) Where do I get my IMEI/MEID ?
A.) Remove the back, then remove the battery. There is a white sticker that say's IMEI. Type the whole string in the top box ignoring the last number its a checksum, you will see the last number being calculated on the IMEI field. Make sure it all matches up.
Q.) I didn't listen/read what you wrote about the 1 time write.
A.) I can't do anything for you.
Q.) The application is throwing an error.
A.) Please take a screen shot, and copy the error then paste here.
Q.) The application just randomly quites.
A.) Stop trying to log what the application is doing, quit any debuggers and try to open the app again.
Q.) My antivirus is picking this up a a virus/torjan why?
A.) Most antivirus suck anyway, they scan on the pe header of the file. If its unable to process it, it will automatically flag the program as a virus. I assure you there is no virus. All my software gets protected low level to prevent tampering with.
Q.) Was the license agreement really needed, its annoying!
A.) No it probably wasn't but to protect me, FTT, and XDA-Developers then yes. I put that there you are fully aware that it is an as is software and you are agreeing not to reverse engineer the software as well as agreeing that you are doing this at your own risk.

How it works
Now while I tested this over and over on my two test devices and they work fine. This doesn't mean that it works fine on every machine. I built the app in less then a day. I have added as many checks as I can so it wont mess anything up.
DotNet Framework 4.0 Is needed.

I would love for some success or fail stories, some feed back as well. Hopefully all success stories , but I know that never happens lol.
If I have helped you at all please don't forget to say thanks.

The rar file tested ok with 7Z.
I tried to download dotnet 4.0 and my Win7 64 bit machine asked if I wanted to re install it.
The program crashes before it opens.
A popup askes to check the web for a fix.
EDIT:
You sure that was Internet Modem, or Ethernet?
EDIT:
Fail either way.

Same results here. Also what language was this built in?

Hmm can you post a screen shot of the crash. Ill have to check it out. I have another machine ill run it on right now.

Wow I'm an idiot
No wonder it crashed.
dotNet 4.5 ughh...
You can try to install 4.5 if you want or ill have to recompile later tonight.

I used 7z to test the archive before I tried to run it.

TypeLoadException is thrown when the common language runtime cannot find the assembly, the type within the assembly, or cannot load the type.
My visual studio decided to default 4.5 framework. So until I can recompile, might just need to install dotNet 4.5
Dotnet 4.5 Beta Download link

EEEW a beta? Just kidding.
No problem, thank you for working so hard at this...

No problem.
4.5 is actually pretty stable for being a beta. I've been running it for months now with no issues that I noticed. Then again i'm on my dev machine and it hardly has issues :S except for it doesn't like wireless keyboards and mouse's ha.

Well it looks like it would do the trick.
It ran through all the motions.
Except I haven't tried the ICS update.
I was thinkin of waiting for a .bin file instead of trying to figure out where the hell the Phone Booth could be found.
I have little doubt that this will work for those that wave gotten stuck with the peek a boo IMEI.
Now if you had the time to work out something for my poor LG Fathom.
It got a case of amnesia or something.

cac2us,
If you wan't to try the ICS update, I can team view with you and show you how to use LGNPST in order to flash the .tot. Its pretty simple once you see it the first time.
People that are having Google Play Store issues and no 4G and Intermittent 3G is because there IMEI is zero'd out. I can log into the play store fine, use my internet fine etc, but when I zero'd my IMEI and MEID out it wouldn't download my e-mails or anything, I couldn't log into the play store it would just freeze.
Whats wrong with your Fathom?

Thanks, but if the only way is to use download mode, that's what killed my fathom's MEID.
So,... aw what the hell.
If I put it in download mode then the .tot file should get accepted?
And where the hell is that Phone Booth folder that I read about?
Fahthom got flashed too many times.
And in download mode. Then I spoofed at to be an HTC 6800, and now it won't change back.
I might have to pay the $99.00 for the newer Workshop to write it back.
Maybe if I send it to you along with a bucket of cash, and the box it came in you could maybe fix it?
That Google play store issue makes sense, just like my fathom won't activate without an MEID or an IMEI.

You don't need to flash in download mode.
Connect the phone to the computer, select internet for the connect and then select modem.
Make sure you have registered the dll regsrv32 "Path to dll";
After that open LGNPST you should see that it shows the model VS920. Click on the Phone settings button, then click read. Make sure it reads everything correctly. Close out of phone settings.
The Port will flash to say its done click on it to reactive the port.
Select upgrade and click browse.
Now in the window that pops up, down at the bottom where you can select a file. Don't worry about what it says. The box above it where you can type the location enter in *.* then click enter.
This will display all files. Now select the .tot file. "You can also rename .tot to .bin" once you select the file, click on upgrade. The flash should succeed fine now..
The reason people have crashing issues is because they would go to "Phonebook" section in the software and use that. The phonebook backup/restore is not used for upgrading the phone.
Also to answer your question, yes I could most likely repair it for you. No cost, just pay for shipping here and back.

OK, I'm ready to do it.
The only part "Make sure you have registered the dll regsrv32 "Path to dll";"
Isn't that file in the Windows\System32 folder?
How do I register it. I allready did the right click thing for the 920.dll while it sits in the Models folder of LGNPST folder.
I will PM you with the details of the Fathom.. Thanks..

Yes if your using the right click register, and you right clicked and registered and it returned with succeeded then the dll is registerd and your are good to go.

*To see wich one your phone uses start Smart Flash and use the COM port that SF uses
:good:

happens to many of us
flash with smartflashtool
wipe entire cp

That will erase my imei... are you sure that is the way to do it? or is a hardware problem this didn't happened after i flashed a rom it hapened while it was runing korean rom

smart flash tool wont erase your imei

erasing entire cp will erase your imei and you can restore it back (search question and answers section)
no, i myself thought it was a hardware problem...its not
and what goes in trying?

I did the erase entire cp thing now my imei has lots of 0 but still same network issue.

Now you have to restore your IMEI!!!! Without IMEI lot of things wont work at all

as i said, nothing goes in trying. its better than going for repair, paying and waiting
sorry for you mate
baseband maybe?

Are you sure the SIM card is ok ?
I had a SIM card die, I still had access to all the data but the network was unavailable. It did the same in 3 different phones (one of them being a "dumbphone" - Nokia 3410). The network operator replaced the card and the new card worked without a problem ever since.
So, before doing anything drastic, check if the SIM card is still working in another phone, if it's not, then the card is dead and you have to change it, if it works then your phone has problems.
Edit : the girl at the phone store said they have about 2-3 "dead" SIM cards each week, all of them work ok (you can see the phone numbers saved in them) except they cannot connect to the network, so it seems the new SIM cards are more sensitive than the older ones.

What's the reason for causing this?
If u tell, it may help others before doing that wrong step
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium

It was actually a SIM card failure! Tested it with a new one and worked! Now someone knows how to change the IMEI back to the original one?

search in the question and answers thread there is atleast one thread about it
one maybe "no sim card inserted"

I did it but i didnt used Hyperterminal .wich was way to complicated for basicaly simple task, I used putty and it worked flawlessly! if needed i can make a simple tutorial using putty!

shall we have to connect the pc and phone with USB cable while this procedure ?
A video availability is appreciated.

all this is made with the phone connected to the pc

you could add it to your OP in case anyone needs it in the future

I though I was finally close to restore my IMEI.
...But: As soon as I change from AP to CP USB Mode, my device only connects for a second and then disconnects. With AP Mode is works like a charm.
Thanks again for the great tutorial.
EDIT: I suspected this to be a problem with Windows XP, but using Ubuntu indicates that if a change to CP USB Mode, the device only briefly appears and then disappears.

Hello guys! Trying to save my girlfriend's phone here...
So the imei write command is not working, showing an error msg, although it shows ok to at command...
Also strangely he is not accepting the same com port of SF but only a dif one...
Can anyone help?
I'd really appreciate it!!!
Cheers

Does it applies on 234 devices too? I ll not have access on a linux pc till monday!

Cool dude, thanks.
Do you think its possible to do this with those bootable Linux OS cd (so i dont have to install linux on my hd just for dooing that) ?
Do you loose the unlocked BL if you install another KDZ after the unlocking?

Someone know why not working on every windows?
I have the android sdk installed and the same procedure worked for me without linux.

hmmm, possible? maybe, but this would be extremely slow, cause you've gotta get adb working first and so on. so i'd say it won't work, but not sure.
but some distros have got the ability to install them as a "windows prog", this creates a virtual harddrive where linux can be booted from, so no need for reformatting the hdd just google about it
some users reported that it will not be lost after flashing a kdz. but also here: not sure, cause i haven't tried it myself yet (my BL is now unlocked for about 3h yet )

This "final" screen I can confirm on my 262-000 from Amazon. I used Windows and http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1859693&d=1365149301 for the ADB driver but the same method. It takes like 2sec to do! I installed CWM etc. fine afterwards!! Thank you!

Security error
I don't get the screen like in 4)
I just get Security Error, any ideas?

Don't work with ADEUBK 262 000
I can only unlock with the china 20a.

F*ck you LG retards they are only good if Google screws them good, who's your papa :silly:

I might try later to update the phone (GBR) with the official one but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Sometimes is semi-bricked, specialy after the "morning-call empty"
Don't worry, re-flashing will solve the problem.

Guys plz reply if worked for other than D410 Model

D410 here, after first command wait til the drivers are installed,
There is a redaction error in your comands, the correct are:
adb reboot --bnr_recovery
adb push start_restore /temp/start_restore
adb push permaroot.bin /temp/start_restore
adb reboot

Aren't these the same commands available in the purpledrake script?

yes it is from purpledrk script.

I've tried it on D405n and it works. Thank you.

LOOOL
Why should i use
Code:
adb reboot --bnr_recovery
adb push start_restore /temp/start_restore
adb push permaroot.bin /temp/start_restore
adb reboot
when i could use simple original purpledrake way. i think you took the files from purpledrake thats all ? or i am wrong ???

Does not work on t-mobile LG L90, D415 with the software version D41510e.
adb reboot --bnr_recovery reboots to a blank screen. Presumably it's still a recovery -- adb connects. But "adb push start_recovery /temp/start_recovery" does not work -- no such file or directory. Changing the destination to /tmp in both adb push commands does push files to the phone but there is no root after reboot.
Looking at the purpledrake script, I also see that the vulnerability tests looks for a process "brd" on the phone but there is no such command in the output of ps.
Any ideas?

LG L90, T-mobile D415 with SW version D41510c also does not work.... same exact issue as described above...

You should use TowelRoot app, it roots the phone in like 2 seconds and no reboot is required...
Search in google for "how to root T-mobile LG D415" - first link has few instructions but leads you to the website where to download the tr.apk (if doing from phone) long click on lambda sign and select "save link" ... thank install the app and run it... 2 seconds... done...

Towelroot works on the previous SW version (was it D41510c? I don't remember). But there is an update to the version 10e and towelroot does not work on it (at least it did not work yesterday, this was the first thing I tried). Unfortunately, I updated without checking forums and I might have forgotten to turn on survival mode in supersu (although i'm not sure survival mode works).

Towelroot worked fine on my D41510c. I have not updated though, and probably won't as some say nothing really changed with the update.

I have that version and I was able to root with towelroot - it did not even request a reboot or anything... just 2 seconds of my time...
I am now running CM11 and it flies - this phone has just stepped over few models that are considered to be "faster":... not in the CM world

Which version do you have 10c or 10e? Is this T-Mobile phone? If it is 10e -- did you just use towelroot straigtforwardly? Was the phone rooted prior to 10e upgrade?
I upgraded rooted phone from 10c to 10e, possibly having forgotten to turn on survival mode in supersu, and lost root. I still have adaway's host file (so ads are blocked, now permanently since I can't go back to the standard host file), I still have supersu files in relevant directories but no root when the phone is running. And towel root says that it can't work on my phone. I was just assuming that the update has a newer kernel that fixes vulnerability exploited by towelroot. I'd love to recover root if I could.

Hello!
I would have just a short question about the root. If I make the root with this towelroot am I loosing the guarantee? I mean this procedure is open the bootloader or this is just a "smooth" root?
Thank you!!!!

Yes, you will lose the guarantee. I believe towelroot just roots your phone.

Thank you for your quick reply.
So if it is just a simple root and in the future I will have some problem with my phone I will be able to put back the original software to the phone without any mark? Because at Samsung phones have a special trick. If you root your phone and the bootloader is open the Knox code (this is the special trick) is jump from 0 to 1 and you will not be able to replace it anymore and you will lose the guarantee forever with it.
I wouldn't like to change the software on my phone I just would like to install programs to the SD card but it is not allowed under the KitKat unless I root my phone. But I think the simple root should be enough for that isn't it?
BTW. Will I need a special program after the root is I want to install to SD card?
Thank you very much!!!!

Before I do this I would like to know if there will be a custom recovery like two? Does this work with the D415? Would I still have my T-mobile connection? I only rooted my Nexus 7 2012 with the Nexus root Toolkit.

EDL flashing (MTK) Hard Brick

Hello,
I've recently hardbricked my Redmi Note 9
I've tried shorting some of the pads to see if I can flash it through the communication ports using EDL. I've shorted some of the pads and the flash tool shows these logs..:
[17:54:15]:lsusb path:"C:\Users\Friendly Chemist\Downloads\mi-globe.com_Xiaomi_Mi-FlashTool_20200314\Source\ThirdParty\Qualcomm\fh_loader\lsusb.exe"
[17:54:15]:ls ubs :Communications Port (COM1)
USB Serial Device (COM5)
[17:54:15]:GetScriptDevices
[17:55:24]:lsusb path:"C:\Users\Friendly Chemist\Downloads\mi-globe.com_Xiaomi_Mi-FlashTool_20200314\Source\ThirdParty\Qualcomm\fh_loader\lsusb.exe"
[17:55:24]:ls ubs :Communications Port (COM1)
How do you get the flash tool to recognize the communication port as a device?
Redmi Note 9 uses MTK if I remember correctly.
I hardbricked it while trying to flash the most recent ROM.
One of 2 things could've gone wrong:
Either the fact that I was jumping from Android 10 to Android 11 ( I was using the fastboot ROM)
Or the fact that I accidentally clicked "Clean All and Lock", and then something went wrong there.
However one thing is for sure, the preloader is corrupted. I don't think FRP is gone though.
Any tips?
-Thanks

Not EDL exactly, devices with MediaTek SoC don't use EDL (this is for Qualcomm), MTK uses Preloader (download) and BROM modes, the preloader is usually inaccessible in newer models or at least useless, so you can use an exploit to bypass the BROM restriction, follow carefully this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...icked-redmi-note-9-merlin-hard-brick.4347025/

Interesting, thank you very much..
But here's the thing, whenever I plug it in it still loops, even with the battery being disconnected from MB.
Do I need to let it just... stay put for a very long time? I've done that for 2 weeks and it still loops.
(Windows disconnect / reconnect sound, even when the OS does not recognize any new device)
One more thing, is there a possibility for this method to corrupt the firmware even more? Or is this some real bare-metal stuff that as long as you do correctly you should be fine?

You need to power it off completely by pressing the three buttons, in the short period you see device is off, then release the PWR button and keep pressing the two volume buttons to enter to BROM mode while you connect to the PC, run first the bypass bat.

Always that you use the Download option you are safe, if preloader is un-ticked from the partitions and if the option Format Whole Flash except Bootloader is ticked too in the Format tab then you are totally safe.

How do I know my device is in BROM mode?
I've tried to first power it off, then pressing the 2 vol buttons. It just.. reboots and keep bootlooping.

Read carefully the thread linked and follow one-by-one all the steps, if you run first the bypass.bat then you will see a message that the DA/SLAA protection was disabled. This way, you'll go to know that you are now on BROM mode.

So the payload launches on COM5 correct?
Also I have no way to stop it from bootlooping. I've tried shutting it down, same thing,
Like I said before.
While it's online, it's detected as a USB serial device on COM5.

You have to achieve here two main things; install the USB MediaTek preloader using the LibUSB device filter and the second, get your device detected to BROM mode.
For the first thing just connect your device without pressing a button, open the device filter window and see the variants, when a new item appears quickly press on it to install the drivers.
For the second thing, although your device is trying to rebooting this doesn't matter if you learn to make the right combination buttons variables at the right time, wait the exact time that device gets off and press the two volume buttons to attach it to the PC, but first launch the bypass.bat. Be sure that you are understanding what is written here, I had the same issue in two devices and got to sort it anyway.

Hello guys, I have a problem with the Redmi note 9 phone. You know that the Xiaomi interface has more negatives than the stars of the universe, but the Indonesian ROM has no problems, so I tried to change the phone from the world version to the Indonesian one, but in a way somewhat like a loophole, which led to the phone restarting itself Over and over again, I went to the phone maintenance specialists, and they told me that it needed a memory ic, but someone was able to download the Xiaomi system, which resembles a little Nokia, but through it I entered a new Xiaomi version, but the only remaining problem is the lack of service. I cannot call or receive calls or data, but all Something other than this works, so I understood from a phone specialist that the files in the memory ic have been corrupted, so the service does not work, so is there a solution
NB
The phone is rooted, but I can remove it​
The Wi-Fi is working and the Wi-Fi IP address is working​
the IP address of the network tells me that it is not there​
The serial number of the phone itself is not with me, but I think that if the Indonesian version has the serial number, I can find it​
I welcome any risky method​
Sorry for the weak language​

Don't take to "specialists" if you hope for a solution when it has nothing to do with hardware, they know no more than a little about software, it is very risky to let it people that can make more harm than good.
The serial number is always there, but the issue may come from an altered IMEI, or a lost baseband connection. Take your IMEI, dialing *#06# and put it here https://imei24.com/imei_check/Samsung/ to see if it matches with your device, then check if your baseband is there.
And ask the service center in-charge, which method they used to flash the software, an incorrect one could make the issue be triggered.

good forums. I'm new to the forum and I have a problem. My research to solve this has brought me here. I couldn't find the exact answer and wanted to ask you guys. I have a redmi 9c (m2006c3mg) device and I took this device in a mode from test points with a request to flash it. But I don't know exactly this mod I bought. The phone appears as Mtk Com Port in my device manager, but I could not boot my device normally with any key combination, battery removal and removal. All I want is to boot my device normally thanks for your help.
