Urgent Help!!!!!!!!asap

I need help as installed some file and so my screen just shows up sayin serial and v1.00 what should I do? Please.....I need help......ASAP

Need more info as you were obviously trying to reflash the device if it's in bootloader mode.
1: How far into the reflash did it get. (Progress Bars in the software)
2: Did it start at all? Did itcome up with an error eg: Error 120
3: Did you get ANY error at all?
Please be totally honest. You're not the 1st to do this.
Oh and as a footnote please lose the !!!!!!!!'s they're simply very annoying.

Ok try this:

yh it works thank you very much. If i try and update the phone to Windows mobile 6.0 will this happen again?

Yay! Glad it works.
It shouldn't happen during normal reflashing, however if you look round you can see it has happened in the past. But never mind you know how to get out of that situation.

Isn't IMEI used for phone identification along with MEID? If thats blank, would it be an issue on Verizons side?

Hi
I don't know if you've fixed your issue with your g900v or not, but i have the same problem and the same phone and obviously the same symptoms ...
As far as I've tried, nothing worked not ODIN flashing ROMs, or QPST to write IMEI or EFS professtiona ADB .... etc.
What I've come to know is this :
1- keep the phone in a safe place till next months reveal a solution through developers here or elsewhere.
2- Flash the Original Samsung Verizon Rom ( Full Package with efs and bootloader mounts and all partitions " Clean Flash" ) which costs about 100$ .
3- Change the board for a (200$) new one .
So, I would try to pay the 100$ and flash the original ROM, and comeback to tell if it solved the Problem.
I wish if you share any different approach or feedback . I would love to hear it .
Bye

It could possibly be that your EFS folder is damaged. This is where your IMEI and Baseband info is stored. If that's the case for your device, these steps should work. I've done this on two phones (one being an S5) and it fixed this problem.
I'm assuming that you're rooted. If not then you'll need to root your device first. And you need to have debugging enabled. What this does is backups the files from the EFS folder, repairs the partition tables, then restores the files to the repaired folder.
1. Connect the phone to your computer. (Windows)
2. Download this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v2h5dzisjd0rgj5/EFS_Professional_2.1.73_Release.zip?dl=0
3. Extract and run the program
4. Click EFS Professional... It will open a window showing that it found your phone
5. Click on the Backup Tab and make sure all of the partitions are checked, and your Device Filter is recognized
6. Hit the Backup button to backup the EFS folder
7. After that's done, click the Restore button and it will restore your files to the EFS folder.
I hope this helps you.

There used to be a tool for the Note 2 I believe, maybe S4, that would let you re-write your EFS if it accidentally got erased. Not a backup/restore deal, but a tool to key in your IMEI and it would write it to the phone. Maybe research that tool for a fix?

Was it a tool specifically for the Note 2, or multiple Samsung devices, or maybe a universal program like CDMA Workshop? I love that program. It's what I use when it comes to actually entirely rewriting files like this. Most of the time a full rewrite isn't needed though if the EFS folder has just been damaged. Which "damaged" is totally the wrong word here, but that's what it's called for some reason. I really don't even know how it happens, but I do know when it does, it usually just jumbles and/or fragments the info in the folder and needs to be put back in it's correct order. Kind of like defragging in Windows. Just a tool like you're talking about would definitely be cool for me to have though. I shall start my quest to find it. Lol

Please some help
Any luck yet ???
Got the same issue here, and none of the threads here worked .

Same problem
Hello,
I have the exact same problem. I bought the phone here in Mexico, and the phone came with erased EFS folder. Phone restarts automatically when screen turns off. When I'm using the phone, it works just fine, but some seconds after screen goes off, phone restarts automatically. EFS folder is messed up, I've tried out a lot EFS restoring tools with no luck.
I tried QPST but it does not detect the phone, only appears "?" and "No phone" blinking. The same happens with DFS Tool.
I will try to look for that tool joshw0000 talks about.
I hope we can find out a solution for this excellent phone.
Bye.

Hey ...
I did a factory reset and cache wipe, and now the phone stopped restarting when the screen goes off, but still got the "Unknown" issues.
But at least I got rid of the annoying restarts.
570 ppl read this and still no answer, I got to admit ... it's tough.

Invalid Imei, Locked Bootloader, no EDL. Can anyone help?

Hi Guys.
This is a Mediatek Helio X25 Redmi Pro and it came to me bricked from its owner who tried to root it the wrong way. I managed to flash an official rom and bring it back to life but as apparently is the case with these phones, the nvram has been corrupted/rewritten and there's no Imei numbers on the phone, which means no calls and stuff. WiFi works fine. I've already had permission to unlock the bootloader but obviously I can't do anything about it since the software won't ID the device. I believe I might be able to flash a backup of nvram.bin, but I don't have one from this phone, which is why I am posting this here, hoping that maybe one of you can help me by sending me a copy of his own Redmi Pro nvram.bin file. Of course I only need it to get the thing back in the system, after which I can unlock it and use the original Imei numbers. Or if someone has another suggestion, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Search for SN writer. Then follow the steps from en.miui.com/thread-198017-1-1.html
Of course you have to have the original imei stickers for the numbers. Entering random numbers is illegal AFAIK.
This will fix your IMEI.

Thanks for the reply, friend. I have tried that, as well as almost every other solution provided on the internet apart from the deepflash cable, but I keep getting error messages. And yes, I do have the original Imei numbers and it's those that I'm trying to restore. It just seems that something has gone really wrong in the boot partition and it won't let me do anything there. I'm out of ideas. The phone works fine, except for sim service; I am able to flash roms, but not fully. There's always 3 files that won't be downloaded to the phone using SP Flash Tool. I cannot use MiFlash because the phone won't boot on EDL mode. Any other suggestions you might have, I appreciate them.
Cheers

If your phone is booting, I am pretty sure your snwriter version is wrong. Please use this exact version and let us know.

I have tried maybe 3 different versions of Sp Flashtool, including this one. I usually get a timeout message. But I will try again. Is there any specifics I should observe regarding the mdb files I need to use? I have tried all the ones that come with the roms I've tried, but without luck.

MaYbe I misunderstood.. You said ur phone is booting fine... and u are on an official ROM. If that is so, you should not use SP FLash to fix IMEI.
SN writer is needed to fix IMEI.. MDDB_InfoCustomAppSrcP_MT6797_S00_MOLY_LR11_W1603_MD_MP_V13_18_P69_1_ulwctg_n.EDB is the MDb file for developer ROM 7.3.6 and APDB_MT6797_S01_alps-mp-m0.mp9_W17.09 is the APDB...
Click on Dual IMEI and enter the two IMEIs.. Switch off the phone before connecting to the USb cable... Make sure you use the original Mi black cable. Now connect the phone without pressing ANY button at all.
That should do the job!

No, you understood fine; it was me who typed SP Flashtool instead of SN Writer, which was what I meant. Everything else is as I wrote. I have tried 3 different versions of SN Writer, I connect fine and it starts the procedure following the same instructions you mentioned, but it stops half way, giving me an error message. I have tried different combinations of MDB and APDB files from several different ROMs I've downloaded, but they all fail. I'm not very familiar with these things but I can follow instructions and am quick to learn. Still, I have no idea why SN Writer or Maui Meta are not working. I tried to download an nvram.bin file I got from the internet with SP Flashtool, but it would not accept it as it was for Helio X20 I believe, which is why I was hoping someone would make available a copy of nvram.bin for this particular phone. I will also try to make a deepflash cable, hoping that might get me into EDL after which I can use MiFlash to reflash a new official Rom, but I don't know if it will work.

help please

Hi there, please can you tell me where I find the files (mdb and adb)? Are they somewhere on the phone's firmware? Or somewhere in the rom i flashed?
I'm a beginner having a very similar issue having flashed a rom in rescuing a bricked phone and now have invalid IMEI numbers.
Thanks so much

Download the fastboot global beta rom from miui forum and open the flash all without storage.bat file then reboot to fastboot and plug your phone then hold the power button and let it boot. See if this works.

I can't explain it all for you , you need to do some research on your own.
Follow this guide to install adb and fastboot on your PC : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Then open the flash_all_except_storage.bat and plug the phone in.

There is a way to get your signal back , but your imei will be 00 or something like that.
Maybe you will have more luck than others.
You need to have root on your phone.
Also, adb and fastboot drivers are a must.
You will need to follow these 2 tutorials:
https://xiaomifirmware.com/guides-and-tips/enter-diag-mode-backup-imei-using-qpst/
http://en.miui.com/thread-315233-1-1.html
On the second one, it doesn't matter is for Mi4-C, it will be the same steps for our device.
Be careful as this method involves high level "stuff" . Don't skip steps and keep the first .qcn file safe.
I have a question for you. Your MEID is just like the one from the box right now?

It's in About phone -> Status -> IMEI information. If you don't have it there, try to see if *#06# shows it.
If you can't find it , no problem.

General IMEI Null Issue 1.0.2 ?

Hi Everyone
is anyone here having IMEI Null Issue after OTA Update, Possible any fixes for this
would someone be able to help ?

Same here, Is a strange problem.
Have you open engineer Activity app before to apply the ota update?

Helping thread

I found a solution for this problem.
I tried almost every imei repair or imei changer stuff, only " QMSL IMEI & SN Tool v1.4 " fixed it.
You need to unlock bootloader and root first,
And go to link , follow the guide, you can read imei first and you'll find that both imei are still in you phone.
Write your imei back, it might report error but just ignore it, try read & write several times and reboot, your imei will come back.
At the end you can unroot and relock the bootloader.
