My phone has no network and it says no sim card. After further investigation it appears that this is because the IMEI number has just gone, it doesnt exist on the phone. It is standard I have never changed software so have no idea how this could happen. Tried factory reset but nothing works. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Flash it to stock.
Root it
Install es explorer or any root explorer
Install hex editor
In es explorer go to efs folder in root
Open nv_data.bin in hex editor
Goto position 00188020 and check. .

Try to pull dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/NVA
Open with text editor.
Check if imei is stored.
This partition is recreated on flashing dz/kdz. I am not sure if IMEI is read from here. If you give email i will send you my NVA partition to compare. Don't post it or people will see your IMEI

Thanks for your guidance...I have tried both option but it get stuck in middle somewhere and not able to flash the kdz file.
So at this moment LG Mobile support tools not able to cross 10% in firmware update process and stops due to some error.
With KDZ update tools, same situation....and device can connect to adb terminal no other recovery mode options.
So using adb terminal is there any chances to do some fix ?
I think I have currupted my boot loader during installation of third party recovery software without doing boot loader unlock option.
Please guide or suggest any other try.....
Thanks

It was happened like......the phone was working ok with latest official updates V20A and suddenly lost the IMEI number so Mobile network also. After some try finally I have done factory reset..but it was not working as expected...some time it has shown IMEI but lost also...tried many time factory reset but not worked...so tried with LG Mobile repair under upgrade and recovery option but it was failing at 10 % everytime. So thought lets intall new ROM so decided to install cyanogonmod so for preparation rooted phone and installed CWM recovery ....as doing all this first time so may be forgot to unlock the bootloader so after installation of CWM recovery phone has not booted and also not going to recovery menu. After that under upgrade mode tried to burn KDZ file using LG mobile support tool but that also not working.
So now the situation is, the can only go in to firmware update mode and some time getting connected to adb terminal.
So now is there any change of BL repair through adb terminal or the only option remain is visit LG support....?
Please guide....
Thanks,

Did you downloaded the files??
Install Drivers and follow the steps properly,
this should work for you to keep connected,
One more thing run drivers and flashtool as administrator, I already PM you.
Still having problems, please let me know.
If your phone is still not booting, I am afraid that you bricked it.
Good Luck

It's a known issue with some device models. The device reports it's unlocked but in reality it isn't. Perform the normal unlock steps to unlock your boot loader despite it reports it unlocked.

So you can't even start your device i.e. it doesn't even reaches the pre-boot screen (the Honor logo). You should have never ever flashed fastboot image. If your device reaches Honor logo, then bootloader is fine and fastboot should work but if that isn't the case, you have screwed it up big time. Still do reply back, we'll see what we can do

jtag Box needs to be coupled with Bootloader flashing tool and the necessary bootloader files. Since none of them are available, you are in a pretty hard spot.

No my bro.it's Dead.you should change your mobile mother board with another honor 4x(it's expensive) or you should find a programed EMMC that exactly is for che-tl00h(almost hard to find for this model) or sell your hard bricked phone(best way like my way). Of course you can find your dump files and give them to a technician for flashing on a unprogramed EMMC,but I know you can not find dump files for this model easily.
This is a real experience for focusing on model of the phone that we purchase for next shopping.
We should just buy a Global released model,not a china model.

So i cant Garantee that this will work for you but it worked verry fine with my (EVA-L09).
1. I started my P9 in Fastboot Mode (Hold Volume Down + Connect USB Cable)
2. I used the Programm DC Phonix 35 at First and used Method 2 (see Link). I used the File for the Dual Sim Version (EVA-L19, you find the File on the Data Base of the DC Phonix Tool) of the P9 because there is no Version for the Solo Sim. But it worked verry fine.
3. After i completed Method 2 i started the Phone and saw that it worked again but it is an verry small android version with no function exept Phone Settings and some Huawei Internal Software.
4. I restarted the Phone into the Fastboot Mode and used Method 1 with the Update.app of the Firmware EVA-L09C432B136. But only do step 1. Step 2 will not work !! After the Process was completed i restarted it and it worked.
5. After that i Searched in the Android Options for an Update and found the EVA-09C432B182. You need to install it to fix some errors. After the Phone installed by itself the B182. I used the Huawei Updater with the Hisuite to Upgrade to B361 because the Phone didnt found a new Version by itself. Guide for Huawei Updater with Software Links
And now my P9 is on the EVA-09C42B361 and can find updates by itself i know the new B383 is out but i will wait a week than the Phone will find the Update by itself and i dont want to Brick it again. In the next Days your Phone will show you that the B383 is avalible.
I hope my Little Guide can Help you. If you have any Problems please write me I know that the DC Phonix tool costs Money but it was the only way it helped me. But i have some credits left at my account i think you can use them if you want
Sorry for my Bad english if there are some questions left please write me

"Trying to flash" , what exactly did you flash ?
How do you flash it ?
Why dont you flash TWRP followed by ROM of any choice ?
NV normally contained in EFS partition, which can be backed up and flash from TWRP and QPST.
But again, your description is far from clear for us to help you.

When you flash using TWRP, did you actually managed to boot into system ? Or it stuck in recovery ?
Where did the nv corrupted notification appear when u were using TWRP ?
Prior to facing this issue, what you actually did ? I mean, did this phone work before ? Before you start getting this error, what you did, what you install, what you flash, what you delete ? Or did it just suddenly happen with nothing modified ?

You gonna need to ask someone to backup their QCN, take out the imei info, give it to you, and flash it using QPST.

This is absolutely not a issue, that requires using Qpst
You simply need to wipe data and follow the on screen prompts. (You will lose all data on your phone.) However the phone will work again.

Sorry that you are having these issues, But my comment was based on the photo that was posted on the OP. Typically formatting is the resolution. If you no longer have that screen available, you should contact an authorised repair center to fix it for you.
Otherwise If the phone is bound to your account, you could try what is listed here: https://www.mobilerdx.com/2019/02/xiaomi-mi-8-test-point-boot-xiaomi-mi-8-into-edl-9008-mode.html
Scams or Actual Fixes?
I have recently read about supposed hacks that according to a couple of Chinese BBS sites, has worked for some that require buying a specialised Jtag programming tool which cost about $60, that you use along with altered versions of following files: prog_emmc_firehose_8909.mbn.elf, mi8 persist image, rawprogram0, frp and a patch file. All of which that can all be obtained from here: https://romprovider.com/2019/09/mi-account-remove-xiaomi/ ( UMT Download)
Supposedly Chimera is another option: https://chimeratool.com/en/docs Again I have not used any of these tools with the mi8, I am merely sharing what I read about recently.
By the time you have spent the money acquiring the tools, it seems that you are better off just mailing the phone off to be repaired by an official repair center. Here is a web page that provides a list of official repair centers : https://www.pinoytechnoguide.com/2014/06/xiaomi-service-centers.html
Good Luck and try anything mentioned above at your own risk.
Edit: Have you tried the Flashall.bat method?
That should work since you are seeing the com port.

I have recently read about supposed hacks that according to a couple of Chinese BBS sites, has worked for some that require buying a specialised Jtag programming tool which cost about $60, that you use along with altered versions of following files: prog_emmc_firehose_8909.mbn.elf, mi8 persist image, rawprogram0, frp and a patch file. All of which that can all be obtained from here: https://romprovider.com/2019/09/mi-account-remove-xiaomi/ ( UMT Download)
Supposedly Chimera is another option: https://chimeratool.com/en/docs Again I have not used any of these tools with the mi8, I am merely sharing what I read about recently.
By the time you have spent the money acquiring the tools, it seems that you are better off just mailing the phone off to be repaired by an official repair center. Here is a web page that provides a list of official repair centers : https://www.pinoytechnoguide.com/2014/06/xiaomi-service-centers.html
Good Luck and try anything mentioned above at your own risk.
Edit: Have you tried the Flashall.bat method?
That should work since you are seeing the com port.

Hello, thank you for your answer, the mother is not linked to my account I disconnected to do the experiments. in my country i don't have a xiaomi assistance center, i get the error missmatching image and device.
There is no other way to unbrick without buying these tools so expensive that you mentioned

root cause of your issue is that you play with wrong qcn and messed up the nv,
wince you cant plugged to qpst, you need someone to make EFS backup for you torestore from twrp
You can restore phones imei if your bootloader is unlocked but only 2nd sim slot will work
How can I do this? Can you help me please?

You need backup EFS and Modem via TWRP first(better with OrangeFox). After you need Magisk first and some manipulation with QCN file via QPST. I will write it later

Maui Meta is for MTK cpu phones. You need QPST
Note 8 Pro is MTK Device
How do I write IMEI along with baseband version back to my phone? I really don't want to risk bricking it again, that's enough stress for me in the past two days
I heard that I can only flash IMEI 2 back to it, and if I want flashing IMEI 1 as well I'd need to install a custom rom on the phone. So if that's a solution I'd love if someone could help me with it. MIUI 13 is slow and laggy af (which is the reason I bricked the phone in the first place, to install a better ROM).
But here's something, when I flash the phone's firmware through fastboot, issues start to rise (as per my experience with it so far), but through SP Flash Tool, it's alright. So I'd love to know if installing custom ROMs using the tool would be alright, if not then if recovery is required or if fastboot is fit for the job. If that's an issue I'd love if someone could give me advice when it comes to it.
Old post 1: (not my current situation)
"Long story short, I bricked the phone and after months, I've finally been able to repair it (downgraded from MIUI 13 to MIUI 11), but I lost my IMEI. I have the phone's two IMEI numbers, but I could not find any tool to help me write it to the phone. Either that, or I don't know whether the phone should be turned on or off, or if there's any special mode that's required for that matter.
Help would really be appreciated."
Old post 2:
"It happened after manually installing engineering ROM on it, now I can only doubt it's BROM mode that's working and nothing else, but I'm not sure. SP Flash Tool doesn't want to work with the phone since I want to flash the stock rom back. I really need help please."

The reason why my phone broke in the first place was due to flashing a misc.bin file after following a YouTube tutorial. It was part of a process to download twrp on the phone unofficially. Since then I started looking for ways to fix it until I finally found a post that had to do with fixing nvdata corruption (which was the error I had prior to fixing the phone) which helped.
So yeah, I don't think I can trust flashing ROMs on my phone as much as before, but I'll still try the engineering ROM thing.

So um...it bricked. This time worse than before. It doesn't turn on at all no matter how long I press the power button. It was after I manually flashed eng rom.

Yep, it doesn't show up as it's name or "Android", it shows up as MediaTek USB Port (COM3), that's why I doubted it to be in BROM mode.

Hold on, it worked now for some reason when I disconnected the battery, but it keeps connecting and disconnecting so that's an issue.
I'll try to reconnect the battery and see.

I always recommend a NV Backup before messing up with your own device, that's all I know.
Download the file attached here but remember you can fix only second IMEI using this method. Please don't try to fix both IMEI or NV Data will be corrupted again.

The guy in the video is using MIUI 12, I have MIUI 13. I don't know if that's an issue but someone in the comments said something about MIUI or so. I'm not a professional but many times when I see tutorials they're very specific with the MIUI version.
Also, I'm not sure how to back up nv data, do I use mtkclient or is it somewhere in the attachment you sent me?
And one more thing, my phone's baseband version is unknown, could that affect the process?

You don't need the backup anymore and you can follow the tutorial in the video irrespective of the MIUI version you have.
I have also attached the files that are used in the video.

The phone keeps rebooting when connecting it to Maui META. Like it shows META MODE at the bottom of the screen but then it turns off. Now it's bootlooping. I guess I'll have to flash MIUI on it again. At least I still have access to fastboot and recovery.
Update: NV Data corrupted after flashing MIUI, but I got a solution that hopefully works.
Update 2: After flashing MIUI 11 (along with some other nvdata and nvram files, i think they're just empty), it works now and the error is gone. But as I said IMEI issue's still there. Maybe I would need engineering ROM for this one? Although it bricked my phone before.
Also, the phone started bootlooping before attempting the Maui META thing, so maybe it's either the manual formatting of partitions or the files I flashed on it.

Btw one more thing, I can update my phone right? Like, it won't break my phone? I'm good with MIUI 11 but I wonder if updating it would fix baseband version.
