- Dial *#06# to see your device IMEI. Dont write it here. Only take a look what appears. If is one number of 15 digits, is ok. If no, tell me what appears :highfive:
- Dial *#1234# and make a screenshot
- Conect it to Kies and make a screenshot

This mean the last owner flashed something wrong and ****ed the original IMEI (maybe is blacklisted phone). But I think u can recover it coz still not being NULL/NULL. But is question of try . Follow the thread I pasted u before (post #7) and good luck

Try the page I pasted u before in the thread #7. If that dont works you will need one software tool for repair ur IMEI (Z3X-BOX Samsung TooL, Octopus box, etc or simply leting it in one Service Center). Im sorry for bad news maybe

You need to put your simcard pin number that your provider gave it to you .when you purchase this simcard to them and im sure it goes with pin number and puk number. Or maybe i might be wrong.?!?
Sent from Hell ?

I think if you can, you should return it to the person who you bought it from, clearly he messed something up bad in the device! You can try restoring the IMEI, but that can be quite difficult!

What can you do if you have a Imei null/null. Because I have since 3 days I now discover. I could call and had a network 3 days ago (and there was a Imei number too) and suddenly the network dissapeared and because of your message I looked up my Imei nr. and it says null/null. I did nothing and had a Original rom of Samsung. Please let me know what I ccan do. I have a I9505. Many thanks!

Do you have backup nandroid??

Touch problem, hardware or software?

Model - LG - G2 (32gb) black KDZ my imei is matched with csmgdl.lgmobile(dot)com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW890995432109876543213/D80220C_00.kdz .
I recently bricked my phone and had no recover/download mode. I flashed the kdz via flash tools 2014 and noticed my touch wasn't working. I'm wondering if it's software or hardware. It also doesn't work in TWRP recovery . I also did a recover with LG mobile support tool . The touch presses multiple points on the screen and is very inaccurate requiring a mouse using usb-micro usb adapter. I searched this topic and found multiple people with same problem after flashing firmware but the thread's are dead ends. In settings it doesn't show my imei, phone details or broadband .and it seems to not recognize my sim (says service disabled). -Haven't tried fixing my service problem yet as i was focusing on my touch problem. I also entered the service menu (3845#*802#) and pressed update touch firmware with no progress.

Unless the phone gets physically abusing, 99% it's firmware related problems.

I used LG's tool to find out - csmg.lgmobile(dot)com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=your_imei It may not be correct as the kdz has chinese applications (baidu, weibo) and no google play, chrome, maps. edit - And my phone says i have 16gb so i'm guessing it's not correct. Which KDZ should i use. imei says it's carrier is - Beijing Unicom Open *BUO* .

Using my IMEI it links to the same download i linked in my original post d80220c . Did notice the serial number CSMG tool brought up didn't match mine. No on the backup thing as i was an android newb a few days ago.
Edit : This is bloodworks , logged in using another google + account apparently.

With CSMG tool use model number and serial number(MSN) on the box(that the phone came)for query.

D802: LG dial input 3845#*802# > Setting >*Update Touch Firmware

Sorry, I missed up that you did it. Try to flash open euro kdz rom via download mode.

Did you tray in this way?

I do have access to download mode and did try flashing several open kdz's.

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

okay so after flashing with twrp I reboot my phone to system then I get to the phone set up ( like the set up you face after factory resetting). In that point i can see that there is a lock logo in the notification Bar on the top left corner of the screen.
After that when I get to "connect to a wireless network" slide kind of thing there is no IP and MAC addresses. So I cannot connect to a network.
