I lost my imei after restoring the backup of my rom.
How should I go to get my imei?
Thank you
You also restored a modem with your backup? At first I would try to flash again the latest installed modem before I installed the backup
Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts

I have replied to you on the other thread where you asked the exact same question.
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

shouldn't be very difficult.
I'll see if I got time after work to make a backup

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.

dont care about if you have lost imei. phone could work anyway. and you have lost guaranted when u have unlocked. so if you sim work, dont waste your time for restoring original imei. one of my old phone have both imei erased to 00000000000 and works perfectly

Only a few carriers do accept registering devices with imei=0. so, it is a valid effort to recover it.
I updated to 13.0.2 with bootloader unlocked and magisk installed working fine. I like this last update.
*And my device id barcode also reappeared.

In Brazil, it kinda is. Only one carrier allow a imei 0 device to connect, and voice calls doesn`t work either.
And mate, It is easy. Meta mode, modem meta or maui meta, write it, disconnect, and you`re done. But making that **** boot after using maui meta is the hard part.
(btw, CDS info mode doesn`t work on camellia variant)

No, the last bit I`m talking about camellia firmware, mate. CDS Info doesn't even appear on MTK EM there.
I just installed camellian engineering firmware due to A - Not finding camellia Eng Firmware anywhere, B - to test a couple of things. I tried to mod MIUI 13.0.4.0 SKSCNXM, and it's been on maintenance SINCE the failure to it. Which I messed up the EFS partition and been trying to fix. Which, by the way, ended on my situation above. Imei 0, can do it through meta mode, but it ends in a bootloop whatever the firmware I load up after.
Might need to borrow someone else's NVRAM, flash it, change the IMEI to mine, and see if it works.
Right now, to actually keep it "usable", it's on 12.5.5.0 RKSCNXM.
PS: The only differences between Camellian and Camellia are: The former got three cams, and NFC.
Oddly, Camellia's MTK Engineering Mode got a NFC tab, despite not oficially supporting it. Maybe SW disabled?

It's... Not bricked? Mate, not sure if you understand me, but the problem arised from my attempt to dev a custom rom based on miui china. And I'm literally using it to talk here.
Tried to make a lightweight version of miui for Camellia and ended messing up a few stuff, so I had to nuke the device.
Root, swapping camellia( n ) software back and forth, childs' play. But I messed up the code when messing with the internals of software. Get it now?

thank you so much for this. a lot of sites are scamming me to pay for this rom
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.

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?

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.
