I know this is a long shot but can someone please upload the NVRAM Database file from system.img?
I've researched for 2 days but cannot unpack the system.img from either the TWRP or the SPFT version of this ROM.
I'm trying to restore IMEI for my Maze Alpha on V09 firmware. Please help.

Bought K3 Note some days ago and tried to root it, but, after finding loads of cryptic roots often with needed files missing, I first reduced the phone to a bootloop and finally to a brick.
Yesterday, I got SP Flash Tool working with a previous version of Lollpop (5.0) and have unbricked it. (This ROM keeps throwing up obnoxious notifications for apps & wallpapers, etc.)
I've tried to find a version of Android 5.1.1 (English/Chinese?) with scatter file that I can flash to return the phone to factory standard. I last downloaded VIBEUI_V2.8_1535_5.128.1_ST_K50-T5.zip which was posted somewhere in February, but SP Flash Tool did not recognize the scatter file, which reads:
Code:
preloader 0x0
pgpt 0x0
proinfo 0x80000
nvram 0x380000
protect1 0x880000
protect2 0x1280000
seccfg 0x1c80000
lk 0x1cc0000
boot 0x1d20000
recovery 0x2d20000
secro 0x3d20000
para 0x4320000
logo 0x43a0000
expdb 0x4ba0000
tee1 0x55a0000
tee2 0x5aa0000
metadata 0x5fa0000
frp 0x7fa0000
system 0x8800000
cache 0xa8800000
userdata 0xc3000000
flashinfo 0xFFFF0084
sgpt 0xFFFF0004
It looks nothing like the usual scatter files I've seen in the past days. So I guess that's a gigabyte download blown because of a 500byte file. (The following are the files that make up VIBEUI_V2.8_1535_5.128.1_ST_K50-T5.zip.)
Code:
[META-INF]
[sig]
boot.img
file_contents
logo.img
mobicore.bin
scatter.txt
SEC_VER.txt
system.new.dat
system.patch.dat
system.transfer.list
type.txt
uboot.img
These files don't look like what I would expect to come with a scatter file.
I've had enough practice with SP Flash Tool so I feel comfortable using it and would like to continue with it (rather than the other 57 apps & tools I've fiddled with), but I can't see any ROMs at NeedROM that are advertized as Flash Tool friendly (ie with correct scatter file).
-------------------
So is there a link out there for a stock Android 5.1.1 ROM with scatter file for the k50-t5? (Or is there a simple way to make a scatter file for the above ROM?) Once I can get the phone basically back to factory form, I can root it with tools I understand.
Thanks for any help.
While looking around for a stock ROM, I thought I'd try VibeUI_Xancin listed in the "[Index Thread] Lenovo K3 Note" because the ROM I'd flashed—thinking it was stock as indicated—was aggressively intrusive with ads. That's gone thankfully, but Xancin is extremely spartan, almost no apps of note—I can live with that—but no way I can see to make it look pretty—which I can't live with.
I so need an official stock Android 5.1.1 ROM for the K3! —hopefully with scatter file for SP Flash Tool.

Thanks for the response. I was trying to set the phone up for someone else, so I left CyanogenMod on it because I couldn't find a stock ROM and CM as stable, unlike all other ROMs I tried. The user seems happy after two months, even though warranty is void.
Can anyone please share stock build.prop Honor 3C?
So u deleted build.prop ? Plz dont do it again .this will soft brick your device
U can even extract build.prop from system.img
do you have a twrp/cwm backup?
you should extract system.img via huawei update extractor
Hello, since i flash Nougat Roms on my k3 i allways loose the imei.
I try to fix it with campheleon APP, but after this i loose the sim. Engineer mode is not possible. Can anyone help to fix this.
Thanks a lot

Since you know how to flash Rom, the first thing you do before flashing is to back up (Nandroid) of your Rom with atleast TWRP (especially the system, boot, pro info, Nvram, Protect etc) before flashing it's always there in the warning ⚠
If you did that just restore the Nvram, proinfo, protect partitions
Else, you'll have to try flash stuck Rom with SP flash tool (using firmware upgrade option under download)
Chamelophon could give you a temporary fix thou
Thank you sir.. but i want to get clarified about another thing..

If you flash stock Rom with SP flash tool and after that your imei is not restored without using Chamelophon app then you have a bigger problem. Chamelophon app modifications are cleared once there's a factory reset or system wipe - its not a permanent fix.
If after flashing your stock Rom with SP flash tool and your imei is not valid then you have to use imei write tool to write your imei (works only on mtk devices)
Then use TWRP recovery to backup your Nvram and restore it anytime you flash nougat Roms.
If after flashing stock Rom and your imei is back then take a TWRP recovery back up of Nvram and restore it after flashing nougat Roms.
Hope I helped

If you have any old TWRP backups then restoring from it could be the best option.
This is the reason we warn ⚠ make full backups before flashing anything.
The default stored information on some hidden partition has been altered or corrupted and there may not be much you can do than keep using Chamelophon (if it works well on Nougat)
You can try and download the latest RR 5.8.2 it has mtk engineering mode and very stable you can use to write imei too. But am not sure it stays permanently

There is mtk engineering mode in the RR 5.8.2 that am using but it doesn't have option to change imei.
Am sorry there may not be another way for now since there's no xposed Framework for nougat yet.
You may have to stick with Marshmallow for now.
Or buy another motherboard from Aliexpress

Download IMEI_MAKER.zip (to create a new IMEI file) then unzip the content of the folder (imei.exe) to a folder on your desktop
In command prompt, navigate to the imei.exe containing folder you just created on your desktop
NOTE
Code:
cd\ then Enter returns to root directory
cd.. then Enter goes up one directory
cd foldername then Enter navigates to a folder called foldername
A faster method is to open the imei.exe containing folder > Hold down Shift > Right-click on an empty space > Select "Open Command Window here"
When you're inside the imei folder in command prompt, type
imei.exe <15digit_IMEI_1> <15digit_IMEI_2>
eg
Code:
imei.exe 123456789111111 123456789111124
Press Enter
If both IMEIs you gave are of the correct format, a file named MP0B_001_NEW will be created. Rename it MP0B_001.
Now you can send it to the sd of your phone
Install ROM toolbox lite then go to root explorer
In root explorer, delete the existing MP0B_001 file (located @ device/data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI) and replace with the one you just created
Long press the new MP0B_001, go to permissions and tick all 9 boxes at the top then select ok (don't tick special pernissions)
Restart your phone
Your SIMs should be detected, IMEI reflect and Baseband version change from unknown to what it should be.
Note that getting this done might not be this direct due to different scenarios but replacing the MP0B_001 file is the ultimate goal in order to fix the issue.

Hi All,
I need the persist.img file for Mi Pad 4 plus to flash on my device. Can anyone make a backup of the image file and share it to me? I could not find the image file from the Mi Pad 4 fastboot rom. I need the file to possibly fix my touchscreen issues.
Please help
Thanks ~
File persist
Hello, any solution? I also need the file. I have a problem with the automatic rotation on the MI Pad. It rotates in the wrong direction. Need help
You'll have to revert to stock to get a proper pwrsist.img again. Maybe you can extract the persist partition from the stock firmware file, bit I'd do a complete revert to stock, make sure everything works and then flash your custom rom again (if any).
hellow everyone, sorry for my english. but i need your help !
