Hi,
I had a bricked G1 due to wrong radio update.
Got it restored from a repair shop using JTAG. Now when i am checking the IMEI number is showing all zero - 0000000000000
Due to this I am unable to connect to any mobile network. Can this be restored as I have the number on the Box which i received with the Mobile phone.
Will it again need opening the phone or I can do it myself ?
Regards,
Chinmay
After the JTAG Recovery, I was facing this problem, so I also tried flashing the radio and the factory rom but does not solve the issue.

Does anyone have any solution ? Can JTAG solve this ?
Whoever did the work was a complete moron and wrote to parts of the flash that should NOT BE TOUCHED.
Technically, it is possible to repair.
Haven't heard of anybody with this exact problem before, so it is uncharted territory.
IMEI Number got Reset
Take it back to the guy who did the jtag unbricking.
He should be able to put your IMEI number back.
Please note a "How to change the IMEI" Faq could be used for ilegal purposes.
Hence it is against the forum rules to explain how to do this.
Hi Thanks for the solution.
I am not changing my IMEI number, just restoring the original one so this should not be illegal.
This post can be blocked if it is against the forum rules. I don`t intend to do anything illegal.

Like most knowledge, it can be used for good or evil. There would be no reason to close or delete this thread, since nobody here suggested doing anything evil and your question is totally reasonable. The main issue with being up the technical details about changing the IMEI would be that it could be used to ENABLE people to use it for evil purposes. That is why vlad mentioned about why there isn't and shouldn't be a set of instructions about it.
Got the IMEI number restored. Mobile Network is up now.
The guy who did the JTAGG Recovery mistakenly did IMEI repair is what he said.
Now its fine.

where to contact for restoration of imei no.
pls help
Imei repair
sorry to bump an old thread, i do imei repair and ONLY restore to original imei number.
Dear all,
My moto x' IMEI got invalid after having a repair process. May I flash the raw valid imei to the device ?
You know I have my own valid IMEI number
If a repair shop messed it up, they should fix it.
You can try flashing your devices exact firmware... Same Android version and see if it fixes it.
Other than that, any talk of manually manipulating your imei is mostly illegal and definitely not discussed on XDA. ?

No hardware "repair" will just result in you to loose your IMEI it would have screwed up more! And if its a result of a software "repair" it is almost cuz of mismatched partitions, so flashing the whole firmware for your device should help to correct the issue!! If the repair guy has the "tools/power" to mess up your IMEI he should definitely have the ability to restore it back... Other than that changing IMEIs is ILLEGAL is almost ALL COUNTRIES and against XDA Rules!

IMEI is generic to the Mother board it is pre programmed into it... So if you have lost the IMEI that means the repair guy gave you a faulty motherboard... You should catch hold of him... U dont have signal right?

Xaiomi Pocophone F1 has bands 2 and 4 locked. Needed for LTE in the USA.
We need somebody with a rooted Mi 8 to do a QCN backup of their device.
This will help us in potentially unlocking our devices LTE bands.
I would appreciate it greatly.
There are instructions on what we need here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/help/poco-f1-lte-bands-unlock-t3835467

Hello friend, see if you can help me please.
I've tried everything and I can not solve my problem.
My mi 8 crashed and broke the screen, I changed the display and the battery, after that I was without signal and without wi-fi.
I tried several procedures on the internet until I lost my imei and my mac adress.
I read that I would have to restore qcn file, however I did not back up.
I'm from Brazil and here is no assistance from Xiaomi
I have the imeis that comes in the product box. I just wanted to write you again, but I can not
Would you be very kind and send me this backup qcn?
Thank you very much.

Hello, I've tried flashing a few fastboot rom, custom, stock, downgrade and nothing.
I've even tried to restart in diag port mode and use the program to write imeie also could not. I think the last attempt would be to backup qcn.

I read many reports on the internet about this problem, mine started with the display change, after that I was without a network signal (sim card) and wifi.
I tried so many procedures that I was without imei and mac adress.
In my case I think only the qcn file.
Did you solve it?

Did you format your device?
Do you have baseband?
If you lost your imei, you can't recover it forever.
Only Xiaomi Centre can recover it.
I'm sorry.
For rooting, you need to unlock bootloader.
Try using a SIM from an operator that does not requires imei.
That's your only chance.

Look. If you don't have any backup of IMEI, Only Xiaomi can fix it by replacing the whole motherboard, take the phone to them with bootloader locked and don't tell them you rooted or flashed anything ( if you did), they will cover the device in warranty.
If you don't care about IMEI and Sim detection, You can flash engineering rom, Unlock bootloader on it as it does not need sim card and flash roms.
I'd recommend the first option, take your phone to service centre if possible.
This device belongs to a client, he wasn't sure what happened to lose imei
but I think it was lost after update.
Baseband found and there isn't a backup

can I downgrade to 12.0.4?

Yeah, after flashing engineering rom you can flash miui 12.0.4, but that won't recover IMEI either.
My friend is working on an IMEI modify tool, he will by trying it out on his Merlin today.
I'll let you know if it works, so you can recover the device's IMEI.

And to be honest, I tried repairing it to a technician but at this point, NOWHERE and NO ONE could repair this phone properly. They all offered similar treats such as:
-REBUILDING

AND NAHH.. CANT FIX THIS
It's hard to find a committed technician to handle this sort of things like they make it so complicated.

Neither Xiaomi Centre can recover it.
They just change the motherboard and then send the older to the factory.

can you tell me how to do unlock in eng rom ?
Is it possible ? I found a program which name is DFT Pro to repair but I couldn't find all supported devices list from software ?
You haven't necessary lost the IMEI. You can try `fastboot flash modem modem.img` (you'd need to extract it from payload.bin first) from the ROM that you've installed (or just flash complete rom using rollback images from anroid 13 beta, but it'll wipe your data)
From my experience, fastboot on 1+10pro is messed up and sometimes it doesn't flash some partitions

The device won't load imei if modem is broken. On this device the code responsible for modem configuration is on `modem` partition. imei is stored elsewhere, but the device can still show "null" instead of imei if the modem is not loaded correctly
A friend of mine tried with UMT pro dongle and it was unsuccessful I think CPU is not supported yet.
This model not support
Some news guys ?
i tried with miracle thunder which said imei repaired successfully but in fact nothing happened when i check the phone. its due to oxygenOS 12. very restricted.

Any update on IMEI repair of oneplus 10 pro ?
No, there is a new version of UMT pro since few days but still no support for OP 10 PRO !
Use the rollback package..at least try starting over, don't attempt to mod your online to reflect your IMEI manually.
Just rollback, if it works then great if not then RMA it.
IIRC there used to be an EFS partition I believe it was called that housed the IMEI numbers on the device.
Things may have changed but if not then without a back up, it wont work.
Rollback then RMA if it doesn't work.
Hello everyone , I have heard that oneplus 10 pro IMEI repair is possible now with latest update in flashing tools like QPST or UMT pro but I am not sure , just confirm me that I can repair/change IMEI of oneplus 10 pro? , I would appreciate your reply and time . THANKS

Change IMEI? Not sure that's even legal buddy, but restoring it I believe you can restore an EFS partition , if that's even where it's still kept.. haven't used those tools before.

No need for capitals, you're the one asking for help.
Some literature from a previous thread on the legalities of changing an IMEI.
IMEI change and legality, mods please read
Good afternoon mods, I'm sorry but I had to open a thread about this topic again. It's absolutely not illegal to change your IMEI in most of the world. For instance, it's completely legal in the entirety of the US (see...
forum.xda-developers.com
If your phones legit then it's a case of restoration, not change..
Your device is under warranty, send it back.
