Hello. I was wondering if anyone knows how or could point me in the direction on how to fix my efs folder. It seems like it is only half corrupted. I can still dial #*06# and can still get my imei number but every reboot put me in safe mode and some of my apps don't work. I have root explore and I go into efs folder and nothing is there. It almost seems like I have a semi root. I am currently rooted and on a custom ROM. If anyone could help that would be great. Thanks and have a great holiday.

HI
I got a BLU Pure XL qcn and now i have GSM, but no 3G/WCDMA.
We need the original Gionee E7 qcn to get all working
If you want download E7.QCN.OK_IMEI-0.qcn the BLU qcn if you want to get GSM/EDGE working for now...
As i said before: "Wipe full data" really wipes...

Ok.
What method you use to restore the QCN backup? QPST QFIL, QPST Software download, EFS professional, or maybe, something other?
QPST 2.7.378
Software Download - > Restore
Thank you! I used QPST newer version (2.7 rel.422), and nothing worked. Try this version...
d_mesg said:

Try with this version.
In Software Download - Restore when the software is trying to "reset device", reboot it from adb or from the device it self.
Please feedback, my 3G is working now... I believe there was a problem with the SIM card i was using before...
This might be the solution all together.....
1 - Restore the qcn
2 - Restore your IMEI
it should be fine!!
I tested again adn now i got 2G and 3G...
Man, how i'm happy!!!!!
After a month of this finally my 'new' phone is working ok
Congratulation!
What about me - i have a bootloop after restore on 4.2.2 firmware, and "unknown" IMEI, network and other on 4.4.2 firmware... I can restore IMEI, but i have not gsm/umts network signal.
If you get a working phone - can you make a backup memory of your phone (without userdata, system and other your private files) with "Partitions Backup&Restore" (from market) ?
I think my problem - the consequences of my "experiments" with memory...

Try this:
1 - Remove the SIM from the phone
2 - Install kitKat with GNQC 2.1.0.1 using Wipe All Data
3 - Load QCN file and reboot [if your using the first file i shared, delete it and download the new one]
4 - Restore your IMEI using QPST and reboot [i could be necessary repeat this step || the IMEI usually don't stay at the 1st and 2nd attemps]
5 - When on boot you have your IMEI back, insert the SIM card
Sorry bout the file, the first one i shared is from a Blu Pure XL. To work properly on a Gionee its necessary to flash the Blu Modem also...
If you are flashing the phone with GNQC tools, you can check that there's a QCN file on the Firmware folder.
If you load first "Working-QCN-copia.qcn", dont reboot and load next the "WBW8901GI_0301.qcn", now reboot you will fix the boot loop.
The file "E7-GSM.OK_WCDMA.NOK_IMEI-0.qcn" is the BLU file modded to Gionee, so if you load this one you dont need to load anymore qcn files.
Keep feedback me.. We'll solve this
My feedback.
1. Ok. Removed SIM card.
2. There are installed KK 4.4.2 with GNQC 2.1.0.1 with option "Wipe all data"
3. I'm load your last QCN file and reboot.
4. After reboot I have next situation:
- I can't restore my IMEI, because QPST doesn't see my phone. In "Device manager" on PC there is same COM-ports that before load QCN file, but in QPST same COM-port is not active ("No phone"). What is the reason - i don't know.
Can you make a backup NV parameters with EFS professional? You can delete your IMEI in string 550...
I might share that with you, but i just dont see how that will help you....
You still need to set your IMEI on the device...
Making a backup file now... this might take a few minutes..
Meanwhile, have you tried to set your imei with EFS Prof? Has i said before, it might take a few times for the IMEI to stick.
You can also try to set your IMEI with DFS CDMA Tool, that also works!
Please, don't stress up! It wont help! Take a deep and long breath and try to set your IMEI while i backup the NV Items with EFS
Thank you very much!
I fixed it!
I restored my old files modem1st and modem st2. After i'm restored QCN backup (with the help of your file). And, before reboot, was loaded QCN file from firmware (WBW8901GI_0301).
I'm used QPST 2.7 build 402. Only this version, 402, has helped me!
I'm happy!!! Yeeeah!!! Thank you for help!!!

please help me.
I just recently flashed CM13 to my phone and since then i haven't been able to use my network. After looking about i got told to check my baseband number which turned out to be "unknown". I then checked my IMEI number which also turns out to be "unknown". Iv looked at countless posts on all websites to find a fix for this but i still cant seem to find one.
Update:
I have tried to backup my EFS files from my working backup and then restore them on CM13 but havent had any luck.
Iv also been told to update my modem to a 6.0.1 version but i havent been able to find one after searching everywhere.
If anyone can give me link to somewhere that i can download an updated modem or give me clear instructions on how to restore EFS partitions that would be much appreciated.
Is anyone able to help me at all with this? I will provide any screenshots necessary to fix this problem if i need to. I have also continued to look at more posts about how to fix this and still cant seem to find a working fix.
Sorry I don't know the answer but didn't you make full Backup before flash rom. Including esf partition.
If you make backup try to restore.

It's always a risk flashing a custom Rom. You must have a Nandroid backup or at least a backup of your EFS.

I haven't flashed a CM Rom since my Galaxy S1 days 6 years ago. I did experience then what you experienced now, getting a corrupted IMEI. I'm not in a good position now to help you as I don't have much experience in CM Roms. Best to ask help from the CM thread.
Alternatively, you can try some EFS backup and restore apps from Playstore to restore your EFS (one of which is Flashfire by Chainfire), or you can search in Xda how to restore a backup of your EFS.
i have updated the post with a little more information if anyone could please help me with this issue that would be great.
anyone willing to help me with this?
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
After the error in persist partition, my smartphone is now without IMEI, I've tried everything, but I can not fix. Helpe-me. :crying:

What did you try, there are several threads about it.
You should keep an efs partition backup from twrp in the future.

Tried the same. I was able to recover IMEI, but after a few hours, my phone rebooted itself and boila.. Lost IMEI again, since then, QPST won't work, so right now i'm only with WiFi.
I think that trying to recover an EFS backup and after that, make an IMEI change with QPST to recover your IMEI instead of the IMEI from the backup EFS should do the work, but i'm not able to find any EFS backup for the Mi A1.
How can someone lose their device's IMEI?
In my case a fastboot image did that. I have the same problem that QPST doesn't work anymore. That makes me crazy. Phone just seems to work fine with Oreo, but can't install the QCN file right now.
Hey friend, can you give me your Facebook or WhatsApp so I can get some doubts? This problem in the cell phone is horrible.
I couldn't fix my phone. I have now ordered a new Mi A1 and hope to fix the broken one with some export of the new one.

1) ROM version 7.8.23 doesn't work in my case anymore. Don't know if it has something to do that I updated to Oreo.
2) With the tool writedualimei the IMEI didn't change. Maybe it worked for you, but not for me. QPST did work, but only once.
