First Flash Stock rom then flash IMEI . If you reflash rom then imei will again vanish. To prevent imei invalid problem you have to flash rom without flashing preloader.

You can get imei number back by following the instructions in this post .
NOTE : Type the imei number which is shown on the back side of your phone.
Once you get the imei number back and if you again reflash rom it will again wipe your imei number.
To avoid this problem you should uncheck the preloader file. Check in the attachment
Your imei number will not vanish.

Changing IMEI is illegal. But if you lose your IMEI no, then you need to manually set it. But the legal line here is narrow, you insert 1 digit wrong and you are breaking the law
becareful when you deal with IMEI number, it can be very dangerous, if something goes wrong you will be jailed. I dunno why would someone flash micromax a1 stock into spice or vice versa, it is a bad movie.

Hello
i need help to back my E5372s-32 which stuck on boot and give me logo of Huawei
after connect it to my PC cannot feel with modem

thanks
That Simply means there is an error on the phone software, Update it and it'l be 5n
Unfortunately XDA is not the right place to talk about MiFi Routers. So although there are millions of members here, very few will find your post, and very few of those who do will be able to help you. So you will probably have much better success in places like the GSM-Forums website.
thanks for advice , I will post it here too , you mean gsmhosting?

I know I may be a little too late but I found the solution to this. I was stuck on the FTM screen but THIS firmware solved it. It is really easy. Try it out and tell me how it goes. All the best.
Dear i have the same problem. with my sts huawei router. Could you please tell us the whole procedure how you did it? like from the start how to install driver how to flash with full links how to move my device into download mode to detect it with computer and make installation which tools needed. Thnx in Advance.
have you solved the problem ??
Ok, so I'll try to make this short, this is how I fixed the logo bootloop.
I basically flashed a wrong firmware and the device was rendered unusable(stuck at logo).
First of all u need to use "Huawei Vodafone R215 – E5372 Flasher by fr3nsis" u can google it.
U need to find the right .hmf firmware to flash with fr3nsis.
The only one that I found and worked was "R215MobileWifiFirmware_v3.1"
it contains 13 files .bin and the flashable R215MobileWifiFirmware_v3.1.hmf.
You also need R215MobileWifiFirmware_v3.1.exe
After getting the files u need to put the device in download mode,
take the battery out and put it back, press and hold menu and power until some text appears(1 second),
right when the text appears press menu and it should get you into download mode.
Now u can use the the flasher tool to flash the firmware. after a few seconds, it should say "fail"
restart device and flash with R215MobileWifiFirmware_v3.1.exe. it should now work
searching R215MobileWifiFirmware_v3.1.hmf

What is broken?
Hi,
To fix this, you need to use an application called Samsung smart switch on your computer.
1. Download Samsung smart switch onto your computer and install.
2. After it finishes installing, plug your device into your computer using your USB charging cable.
3. On your device boot into the bootloader by pressing, power+volume down+home.
4. When you get to the bootloader it will warn that installing a custom OS may harm your device. Ignore this and press the home button.
5. You will see a few different barcodes and numbers. Copy down the ones labelled S/N (or SN) and IEMI.
6. Now, press home again and stay in the bootloader. Copy down the model number of your phone displayed in the top left corner of the screen.
7. Smart switch will not recognize the phone, but it will still work.
8. In smart switch, click more, then Emergency Software Recovery and Initialization.
9. Where it says Model name, type in your model number. (Ex. SM-G935A)
10. Click search, then type in the S/N or SN number that you copied down from before.
11. Click OK, and when the dialog window comes up, click ok again.
12. A dialog box will appear that shows what is going to be installed on your phone. Click OK.
13. Yet another dialog box will appear telling you to enter the bootloader. If the OK is grayed out double check that your device is plugged into your computer. If it is not, plug it in. If it is, unplug it from your computer and plug it back in. The drivers may install, but eventually the OK will turn blue.
14. Click Ok. It will download the required firmware. This may take some time. DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR DEVICE.
15. When it is done downloading it will flash onto your device.

Hi,
To fix this, you need to use an application called Samsung smart switch on your computer.
1. Download Samsung smart switch onto your computer and install.
2. After it finishes installing, plug your device into your computer using your USB charging cable.
3. On your device boot into the bootloader by pressing, power+volume down+home.
4. When you get to the bootloader it will warn that installing a custom OS may harm your device. Ignore this and press the home button.
5. You will see a few different barcodes and numbers. Copy down the ones labelled S/N (or SN) and IEMI.
6. Now, press home again and stay in the bootloader. Copy down the model number of your phone displayed in the top left corner of the screen.
7. Smart switch will not recognize the phone, but it will still work.
8. In smart switch, click more, then Emergency Software Recovery and Initialization.
9. Where it says Model name, type in your model number. (Ex. SM-G935A)
10. Click search, then type in the S/N or SN number that you copied down from before.
11. Click OK, and when the dialog window comes up, click ok again.
12. A dialog box will appear that shows what is going to be installed on your phone. Click OK.
13. Yet another dialog box will appear telling you to enter the bootloader. If the OK is grayed out double check that your device is plugged into your computer. If it is not, plug it in. If it is, unplug it from your computer and plug it back in. The drivers may install, but eventually the OK will turn blue.
14. Click Ok. It will download the required firmware. This may take some time. DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR DEVICE.
15. When it is done downloading it will flash onto your device.
16. Your device will restart after flashing and the boot will take some time.
Your phone will be factory restored during this process. If it doesn't work follow the steps again but very carefully. Here is a video that you can use to help you out:

Im not exactly sure what you're doing wrong. Refer to the video I linked at the bottom if you are having any issues.
I have the same problem I can't get over 11 (after i press ok the first time the smartswitch just closed). I have tried removing and reinstalling smart switch but it does the same thing.
Take it to get reflashed at best buy, talk to the samsung rep there.
Hi guys, I've been looking on the forums and i didn't find a way to solve my problem, my Samsung J5 J500m has the "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software" screen. I've tried both smart switch and Samsung kies and it hasn't worked, the thing is that i don't have the "depuration usb" on, nor the eom unblocked, the phone interal memory is almost full and i don´t have any custom recovery such as twrp or others.
If anyone knows how to solve this or can send me to the right thread i would really appreciate it

You don't need usb debugging or oem unlocked to recover your phone. Smart switch's emergency recover detector isn't that reliable sometimes it doesn't detect devices in emergency recover mode. However there should be a second tab in smart switch to recover your phone. It's "device initialization", device initialization works similar like odin. If you don't have this tab then you probably installed a newer version of smart switch. If that's the case follow this instruction:
1. Uninstall current installed smart switch from your pc
2. Download this ealier version of smart switch from samsungs official download center.
3. Install it. Once you run smart switch you might get a pop up screen to update to the latest smart switch version: don't update it!!. press cancel.
4. Now reinstall usb drivers in smart switch: more > reinstall device driver. Make sure to disconnect your cable first.
5. if finished, locate to More > Emergency software recovery and initialization > device initialization
6. There is a section to enter your model name, enter SM-J500M. Press search.
7. Now you need to enter your serial number. As you can't access your phone to view your serial number, you can still find it printed on your phone packaging or behind your device's battery. Enter your serial number in S/N section. Press confirm. Note: New devices don't support "device initialization" but your device should be still supported
8. Now you should see a pop up window where you see something like "initialized version". Press Ok and let smart switch recover your device. You should see a bar appearing on your device screen. If you press "ok" be warned! this step will wipe all your data on your internal storage!
9. After it's finished your device should boot normal again.
Good Luck! :fingers-crossed:
It says "this devices don't support device initialization"
Thanks anyway,

Can you access odin mode (volume down + home button + power button to boot to odin mode)?
If yes, flash a stock firmware for your device using odin. You can download stock firmwares from SamMobile, SamFrew or Updato. Make sure you run Odin as administrator
Thank you, it worked!! :victory::victory:
i was trying whit a sammobile firmeware, i supose it was the wrong one, thanks for sending me the right one
Hello,
For quite a while I am searching for a working method to root my SM-A500FU running on Android 6.0.1.
There is no OEM Unlock button available whatever I try.
All root methods I found need OEM Unlock so they don't do the trick.
Is there a way to get the rooting done?
And if so, please provide me the steps to do.
Thanks in advance.
You can root your phone...
Hello,
Please read my whole reply. I have an SM-A500G and my device also did not have OEM unlock too. i searched hidden developer options and it was not there. Did you look in developer options? If you did, did you find it? If yes carry on with the other root methods you have found but if you have not, follow my steps. For my device, I somehow rooted my device without OEM unlock option by using the steps below written by me. I am very sure this will work on your device too as we both have Samsung Galaxy A5 2015 with different varients.[/SIZE]
Before starting, please be aware that rooting will void your warranty and if the steps I have given below are not done properly, you will brick your device. Please don't blame me if you got your device bricked. :fingers-crossed:
1. Firstly, you need a windows pc and then go to this link and download the whole folder with the name "Samsung Galaxy A5 2015 Root Method". Do not miss a file and extract all the files from the zip into the folder with a name "Samsung Galaxy A5 2015 Root Method" . Link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Yx3NgLaEfxW-vYdoKSk0u3N3KbEbktlP?usp=sharing
2. Then navigate to the folder called "Odin3_v3.09" and run the file with name "Odin3 v3.09.exe". Run it with admin rights.
3. In you phone, navigate to developer options and turn on "USB debugging". I am pretty sure that this option will be there. If you don't know how to get developer options, go to setting, about, and tap 3 times on the build number and you will unlock developer options.
4. Now power off your device and reboot into download mode by pressing power button, home button and volume down all together. Press volume up when you see the screen. (the screen is a blue-green colour and it says either press volume up or down, press volume up)
5. Now connect your phone to pc with usb debug enabled on phone.
6. In Odin, If you see device is added, you are good to go. If not reconnect your device.
7. Now in odin, press the button named "AP" and navigate to the "Samsung Galaxy A5 2015 Root Method" and click on the file named "twrp_20191005_a5ultexx (1).tar" and open it.
8. Now in the options section, uncheck "Auto Reboot" and check (if not already) "F. Reset Time". Leave everything else as it is.
9. Press The button "Start"
10. Wait until you see "Pass" in odin.
11. In your phone, you will see that it is "downloading" and there is a white line that is completed. Now to get out of download mode, press power button, home button and volume down all together until you see a black screen.
12. Immediately, you need to press power button, home button and volume up all together until you see the boot screen with yellow text saying "set warranty bit: recovery"
13. Now you will boot into recovery.
14. Now download "Magisk v20.zip" from this link on your pc. Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11O2f0HymbcVZ7hQvkGFxGHcB1ShHSr8H/view?usp=sharing
Don't extract it.
15. Now drag or copy and paste "Magisk v20.zip" to the phone's internal storage.
16. In your phone, in twrp recovery. press the install button and navigate to "Magisk v20.zip". Press on it.
17. Now swipe to install and wait a few seconds or minutes.
18. After completion, press the "Wipe Cache/Dalvik" button.
19. Afterwards, press reboot (system)
20. If you see the boot screen with "set warranty bit: kernel", you are good to go and wait till it boots the system.
21. Congratulations, your phone is now rooted!
In step 20, if you see "set warranty bit: recovery" and red text above it, try this: Power off the device in twrp (recovery) in the reboot section and connect to a power supply. If you see 'set warranty bit:kernel' and a charging sign, you are good to go. You just need to hold the power button and wait till it turns off and turns on again. Just wait until it boots the system and you are rooted.
Nice try
Thanks for the effort but did not work.
Odin does not show pass but gives fail every time I try.
How to fix this one?

Firstly, did you disable auto reboot in odin? Secondly, do you have the latest bootloaders and modems for the device? (If not, you can find them here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/samsung-a-series/general/ref-a500xx-modems-bootloaders-collection-t3496463 Thirdly, there is another option where you use CF-Auto Root and I will link a tutorial on how to do that. Please note that the tutorial has OEM Unlock within it but you don't need it. If you want me to give to give you a guide on it, just ask me. The tutorial link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXGTIwx1ffk
Also, turn on captions in the tutorial as it says the instructions on the captions and then in odin, turn on "Auto Reboot"

Hi InfernoWolf19,
I disabled auto reboot in Odin.
I installed the latest bootloaders and modems as instructed.
Odin still gives me a fail.
The third option I did exactly as in the YouTube video but also got a fail.
Maybe I forgot something so could you please drop the link to a written guide.
Thanks in advance

I can't make a video..
I discovered that I can't get my wifi on anymore now, must have something to do with the 2 files I replaced (see above).
The list with bootloaders and modems is about 2 years old, is there a newer available??
Unfortunately I don't know what versions I had before so I can put those back so at least my wifi works again.
It seems I am getting more problems instead of less… help help

Could you give me you country code or name because then I can find the stock firmware for the device which contains the updated bootloader and modem. With a stock firmware, you can get your latest modems back therefore your wifi works again. i think you flashed the modem incorrectly or the modem is very old. Either way, I need the country name you live in so that i can find the stock firmware from Sammobile - https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a5/firmware/SM-A500FU/

Wait a few minutes or hours. If still hanging, you probably flashed the wrong one. To fix try flashing the stock firmware again or a different rom. Hope this helps
Hi,
I searched for hours to find one that worked with Odin.
After about 30(wtf?) minutes my phone entered set up:
-select language
-connect to wifi
Then I must login with my Samsung account.
Did everything correct but does not work.

If wifi works, congratulations but did you flash the HOME.CSC version? If not, you lost all your data because you flashed a version which removes all of your data. If it is my fault, feel free to ban me from XDA or do anything if it is my fault. :crying:

Log into you samsung account via comp or any device. Go to security. Then add a secondary security to the account which will be a code. Once this is complete when you go to log in to your samsung account on your phone. If your phone locks you out using the password still it will then automatically use the secondary security. Samsung will automatically tect you a code your phone will sync with this code opening your samsung account. Hope this helps.

Yeah. You lost all your data because you flashed an older android version firmware. I guess I should stop trying to help people.
