I agree, there are some tools to do that, but in long run, it's really NOT ADVISABLE, to change the IMEI.
Adieu..

why do you want to change your IMEI
besides, changing a phone's imei is harder than just flashing a phone's firmware. Its also extremely risky and not advised to be done without a proper phone technician.

Assuming you're trying to GSM unlock, you need to be rooted and do that command in Android Terminal Emulator.
However, you can just use this and it will do it automatically.

Same issue
I have an unlocked Sprint HTC One M7, but it kept dropping the network. After some research, I was led to believe that if I changed the setting to WCDMA Preferred, I wouldn't have to keep selecting T-Mobile as my network. I dialed *#*#4636#*#* and changed the necessary setting, but it did not work. THEN I became curious and accidentally selected some kind of lock. I erased my entire OS and had to flash a Stock Rom (Rooted and Deodexed however) using OTG/USB. BUT THE PHONE IS STILL LOCKED :crying:. Someone who knows what they are doing please help me with this $500 Paperweight. I'm learning the hard way apparently. BTW, I don't care about the SIM unlocking issue anymore. I just need to be able to use the phone.

You should've seen this thread. Anyways what does the phone say? Can you get into the OMADM menu again and select what you pressed again and see if that unlocks your phone?

nah

Thank you so much for that link. I can't wait to get to that part. At this time, all I can get is Emergency calls and the lock prompt. The info screen won't show from there.

Kk. I've tried to do the fix even though it probably wouldn't affect anything, and it didn't work. It might've been because I was on 4.4.2, and the guide was probably made when Jelly Bean was out, so Sprint might've patched it. Anyways, let me know if you get it working and post your steps on how you did it if you followed it differently.

Lost IMEI and got NVRAM Warning

Hello! I lost IMEI and got NVRAM Warning after flashing Redmi 9 with SP Flash Tool. I tried lots of programs to repair it like Maui Meta, SN Write Tool etc. But I can't get the drivers working properly. Are there any other ways to repair it? If there are, could you please help me to get it working? I feel like I'm already about to surrender...

The problem is that i checked "firmware upgrade" and it's all erased anyway. I've read this is a common problem when you use sp you lose imei and stuff. I would fix this in a few minutes but this stupid drivers...just can't get them working...

Without imei is it possible to unlock bootloader or root your devices

If you didn't backup your IMEI before you lost it, probably you will never can recover both of imei.
But, you can recover one of them.
You need to write the IMEI to any (newer) device that allow imei writing. (Redmi Note 8 Pro can does it.)
And then, making the imei 1 as empty/null and into imei 2 you can write your new imei.
After it, you can backup the nvdata from that phone and restore it to your device.
So, you will have only imei 2. If you try to write imei 1 too, your device will get nvdata corrupted.
Good luck.

If you lost your imei, definitely you didn't make a firmware upgrade, but a format all.
Shas45558 said:

Yes, you can.
But you need a sim card from an operator that doesn't require the imei for using its service.
And obviously, you need your baseband intact.
If you try a sim card from an operator that requires imei for using its service, the sim card will not be registered.
If you want to restore the state of UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, you need to follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4220013/

I just found out that mi flash pro shows my IMEIs when I connect my phone in recovery mode. Could it be possibly happening because of the new firmware and I just need to flash into something different than global version or I'm wrong somewhere?

No. It will never write or recover your IMEI.

Accidently got the drivers working. Then i tried using maui meta and sn write tool to fix imei but i got errors. For example maui meta says "Write to target failed" and sn gives something like timeout error. Never felt that close...

Unhappy, maui meta can't help you.
You need to follow the guide I've sent for recovering only imei 2.

You need someone's modem EFS/QCN backup file. They need to have the exact same version phone you have

Lol didn't think of that!
Perhaps the person can alter their file and remove their IMEI number or make it all 9s.
He can open the file and edit it with his real IMEI (assuming he has his box or the real number written somewhere)

but see that's the thing, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have it. If he did it would be simple to edit the ftm partition, which has worked for others. But there's really nothing u can do if u don't have it.

That absolutely makes sense!
When shopping for mine, I noticed some of these V40s have their IMEI #s printed on the back.
Would be very silly (and lucky) if the O.P lucked out, had an IMEI printed on the bottom and overlooked it.
Otherwise, I'm wondering if he can somehow talk with someone at his phone provider tech support and see if they can share the number of the last phone that connected to their service.
Pretty sure if he catches the right person, they may share his V40's IMEI after he successfully identifies himself

I had this problem back in the LG G2 days, had trouble with my EFS too but was able to recover. Sounds like something is off and is not coming through from your EFS backup.
If you search my screen name you'll find an old thread I made about it from years ago. Hopefully the steps will be similar and can be helpful to you.

In Qfil just click on a partition and then choose "read data" on right-click to dump/backup the partition.
Read the section B here it will gave some hints so that you can figure out how to work with Qfil.

Your device is in PDM mode I do not think that you can make it without flashing however sometimes flashing FTM alone can do the trick but I'm not sure if it factory resets or not.
