Lost imei on custom after restoring g4's persist and cant restore efs too?
Dont worry, heres a temporary fix for imei
(I m assuming that you restore persist with fixed cam and now you cant restore efs)
Just restore g4's persist ( one with green cam ) and restore efs with it
It will restore your imei back but sadly you cam will click green photos ..no fix as of now
You flashed G4 persist already ...its not my fault if anything goes wrong
I wont be responsible for any damage for your phone

Look for a willing donor of a clean moto g5s plus persist partition and back it up and share in this thread.
1. Dump the clean persist partition using adb, type the following commands:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p30 of=/sdcard/persist.img
2. Share that partition in this thread of course
3. Flash the persist images on affected phones:
fastboot flash persist persist.img
Same problem here.
Anyone in Stock to help us with this persist file?

"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 ?

Boot up to the Android logo and then return to recovery.
I flashed a room and lost the imei, I tried to recover with a qcn I found but I must have done something wrong.

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

I can't use qpst, because I can't activate usbdebug and the diag port.
Is it possible to give me a hand?

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.

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 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

Heyo!
My Mi9T after updating to miui 12 stopped getting sim card signal and a local repair shop said it's because the phone has no IMEI number!????
What should i do now? How to resolve this issue?
Flash persist.img in recovery if you have a backup....
3 STEPS for you :
1. well , if you don't have efs/modemst's backups to restore, ITS NOT LOOKING GOOD.
2. next logical step try a fastboot rom flash , if IMEI is not restored , ITS BAD.
3. your device needs an IMEI repair , better done by a proffessional (he uses some hardware to repair the imei).
Best of luck to you

You cannot find them, they are specific to your phone , they have info on your IMEI numbers and device specific IDs ,so flashing other people's files would mess up your phone even more.
DO not flash FASTBOOT Image unless you backup your "persist" partition as you would lose other important stuff that cannot be recovered.
You have to root your phone , backup your persist partition , then flash Fastboot ROM to see if your IMEIs are restored.
If not , then IMEI repair is the way to go , just find a good repair shop and they will do it for you.
Guys sometime back I made an error while flashing custom rom onto my Redmi note 10 5g(camellia) device and erased my imei and since then I can only use 4G network which at the moment isn't everywhere in my country..
I tried using default engineering mode but there is no cds information and no atci in the options.. I also tried tried downloading the engineering rom and tried using Mauei META tool but it corrupted my Nvdata and I had to use MTK meta utility v104 to clear Nvdata and nvram but until now I can't fix my imei..
Please guys is there anything am doing wrong or missing out while trying to fix my phone.. Any help will be appreciated..
*forgive my English I know it's terrible*

You should never have to use the option to Format All through SP Flash tool, rarely you need that. I guess you have a nandroid backup, so restore it.
I didn't have the nandroid backup... Isn't there any work around?

Even after try all the methods, things can be lost in the way, sorry.
The option to format all+download is exclusive of use to engineers.
Although this said, you should keep trying. For the maui meta part, instead, you should try with modem meta, it´s not necessary to have an engineer ROM in order to get it working, in some builds, entering to meta mode is as easy like commanding adb reboot meta
For some reference, you can learn from this forum, read all the pages, https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/redmi-note-9-imei-invalid-null.4241945/
Thank you very much... Let me give it a try.. I hope it works. This time with modem meta... I really appreciate your effort in helping me out.
Hello,
When trying to mess up with the "NT Code" as told in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...d-countries-also.4575655/page-2#post-88600477
I ended up with my phone stuck on this blue screen with "Factory Reste Status" and a big red 2 displayed.
I don't know at all what to do... tried vol down + pwer and it goes again in this menu... The phone boots by itself and goes back to thsi menu.
I think I messed up with LG UP..... can someone help me I want to get back my phone...
I had not fiished to back up my data so factory reset would be my last wish as first I would like tro try save some data pelase.....
Hello
Make a backup of FTM and restore the attached file in place of it.
Could you please explain how do I do such backup please ?
Will I lose all my data ?

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.
