I WHOLE formatted my Cherry Mobile Fuze Q390 (MT6582) with SP Flash Tool. Then I flashed the official firmware of this device with SP Flash Tool. I don't have any backups because I am reverting to stock. Now the phone works fine but it does NOT detect the SIM card. Also, the IMEI is shown as "INVALID" for both SIM slots when I input *#06#. When I try to fix IMEI from MTK Droid Tools it shows (ERROR : pttycmd1 device NOT found!). Also, MTK Droid Tools shows (Baseband V -----). I am sure the problem is that when I formatted the phone it wiped the NVRAM region too. So the device has no baseband or radio files right not and also the data/nvram/md folder has nothing in it. Although, WiFI still works perfectly except the annoying NVRAM Warning that I kept on seeing when ever that I wanted to connect to a network. Now the official firmware of Cherry Mobile Fuze Q390 does not contain any nvram.bin file. It does contain the BPLGU file but I can't seem to modify IMEI with SN Write Station, Maui META 3G, IMEI&SN Writer V1.5.3 and etc. I tried using the MTK Engineering mode mode also and tried to write it using the AT+ code but it keeps on saying failed to send command. Probably the SN Write Station, Maui META 3G, IMEI&SN Writer V1.5.3 and etc. only modify the IMEI when the baseband or radio files are already present on the phone. So I think the only way out for me is to flash a nvram.bin using SP Flash Tool or Flash nvram.bin+nvram.tar to MTK Droid Tools which I don't have. Any ideas whether I am on the track or not? If I am, then how can I get the IMEI back on my phone. As you people can see that I have tried a lot of things, so please suggest/advice accordingly and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Phone 1: AT+EGMR=1,7,"myIMEI" <send>
Phone 2: AT+EGMR=1,10,"myIMEI2" <send>
Hello @phaw16, @nandhu.crab19 : Can you resolve that problem?
I have the same here my phone is Blu Dash 5.5 D470u with mt6582 processor.
The meta mode is failed to connect. Drivers are ok.
Hello xda users,
Yesterday I flashed a custom rom (Darksense) on my elephone p9000. Everything went fine, that's what I thought.
My imei are changed to 111111111111111 and 222222222222222 , I cant receive sms and calls anymore.
Is there any way to change imei for the elephone p9000 ?
I was looking on engineer mode but...
There's no 'cds informations' on this phone.
Thanks in advance for any help.
reflash the stock rom and then follow the video https://youtu.be/w9POQK3kf6U
Reinstalled the Stock ROM but there's still no 'cds informations'
I'm really lost, cant receive any sms nor call :crying:
http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-12457-1-1.html#.WBzMwPqLQdU
This method returns me that error: "Execution Warning : NVRAM database file is inconsistent with target load"
Still having the imei problem. My phone is a toy right now.
Can anyone give me some help ?
Been waiting for months now to see if the IMEI can be recovered. At this point it's a glorified PDA...
Moved on to bigger better things...
Managed to fix it !
Thanks to @jay98shankar
1) http://www.needrom.com/download/android-6-stock-20160401/ Sign up and download this (dont download the latest official rom(810) this is the only rom which can help you)
2) Flash using sp flash
3) Go to engineer mode you'll find CDS Information
4) Avoid formating your phone using sp tool just - formating made all this problem

Trid this before but hell, try again.
Same results - after entering AT+EGMR"IMEI" (imei number, not IMEI....) I hit Send AT Command and get " INFO - This command is not allowed in UserBuild"
Still no love.....
@ultramag69
Add a space between AT+ and EGMR.
The command must looks like that:
For IMEI 1: AT+ EGMR=1,7,”YOUR NEW IMEI"
For IMEI 2: AT+ EGMR=1,10,”YOUR NEW IMEI"

Download MauiMeta 3G, install the drivers for P9000. I think you can use the same drivers as SP flash tool. Run Mauimeta, choose something like "flash imei", laod file witch is named MDDB_**********.EDB. Shut down your phone, press on start and turn your phone on. Write your imei into the textfields and flash it. (For me it worked only with Stockrom)
The short history:
Playing with an "official" ROM I bricked my phone. I was able to recover it, everything works properly except the telephony, I can't make phone calls :crying:.
The full story:
The behaviour of my phone is different depending on which slot I put my SIM card.
If I put my SIM on the first slot, when the phone reboots it doesn't ask for the PIN and doesn't recognise the card. But if I switch to plane mode and I reboot the phone, the phone then asks for the PIN number. If I introduce an incorrect one, it recognises that it is incorrect ans ask for a new one (then it is reading the card to know that), but when I introduce the correct one, it does no connect whit my carrier (of course, before that I switch off the plane mode).
If I put my SIM on the second slot, it asks for the PIN number but similarly to the previous case, It doesn't connect with the carrier.
In both cases dialling *#06# on the phone, I can read the two IMEI and the MEID codes and they agree with the codes printed on the phone box.
Moreover, if I install an app (I tested with some of them) that reads the SIM card it can read the name of my carrier and all the contacts that are on my SIM.
Things that I tried:
0) I tried to use my SIM in another phone, and it works. I also tried to use another SIM in my phone, and I have the same problem.
1) I tried to install several ROM's:
- Jeff72ROM (v1.30 and v1.32) from: http://www.needrom.com/category/zte/serial-nubia/z11-mini/
- stock ROM from http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=776504&st=0#entry52586301
- And experimental port of CM14 (I can't remember where I found it)
- CUOCO92 from http://blog.grossoshop.net/nubia-z11-mini-rom-gs-by-cuoco92/
- An "official" ROM: NX529J_Z69_EN_NSXPK1JD00K132 from http://www.nubia.com/es/support.php?a=phone&pid=8 (this is the ROM that bricked my phone, I modified it in order to avoid the problem).
To install all these ROM I used TWPR from http://www.androidbrick.com/download/z11-mini-nx529j-twrp-root/
When I dial *#*#4636#*#* on the phone it says that the type of preferred net is WCDMA. It seems to me that these nets are not in use in Europe (I live in Spain). Itried to change that, but I couldn't. Then I applied the patch http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394689 but it doesn't work. I also tried to modify the properties in "build.prop" without success. Now I think this is not the problem since all the ROM's have similar properties, in special CUOCO92 that is reported to work in Italy.
What I think it happened:
When I tried to flash the "official" ROM it failed because it tried to write too many files in the "system" partition (I hadn't this problem with any other ROM). Then I realised that my phone was bought in China and this ROM was for the international version, perhaps the international version has a different partition scheme).
What I did is to remove some very easy to install apps (i.e. google maps) in the ROM in order that the remaining apps fit in the partition, but then I made the mistake to activate the option in TWPR of making "rm -rf" instead of a "format". It seems to me that with this option the rm command followed some link to another partition and removed some files that shouldn't be removed, and those files are not in any ROM.
Does anybody think that this makes sense?
What can I do?
nice, super description. i am stuck with my nubia z11 mini, brought from china. installed 1.23, recently updated new 1.36 but there is no google play, other all working perfectly.
Hi,
I have the same problem. Did you find a solution?
Thanks in advance, F.

@jbartolo
I have the NX529J and the option wasn't changed, it was still format. I don't think the problem is related to the partition.
@jbartolo
Any news about your z11?
Did you manage to fix it?
I have the same problem.

No solution :crying:
I had access to another z11 mini and a played copying partitions from this phone to my phone without success.
@jbartolo
Since you can have access to another z11 mini please check these guides
http://www.androidbrick.com/unbrick...-have-the-right-kind-of-rom-qhsusb_dload_edl/
http://www.androidbrick.com/ultimat...agon-xiaomi-mi5-imei-and-baseband-repair-fix/
http://www.androidbrick.com/ultimate-guide-qualcomm-snapdragon-imei-baseband-repair-fix-part-2/
Also you will see more guides in the mentioned site and maybe you can fix your phone. Unfortunately i dont have access to another z11 mini to try. Wish you good luck.
@jbartolo
I did some progress with my phone.
I flash it with the chinese 1.23 rom(its the one in fastboot structure as i understand,a service rom) using Xiaomi's MiFlash tool.
Phone came up with null IMEI'S and MEID. Then i write missing IMEI'S & MEID ,with some tools from the site i mentioned you in my previous post.
So everything is in place now. IMEI'S & MEID.
Now when i dal *#06#* and *#*#4636#*#* i can see Imei's & Meid.
Also i can change the option from WCDMA preferred to other options and stick with them (*#*#4636#*#*) and i can see in phone settings and SIM menu all the options.
Both sim trays read my sim and ask for pin.
In SIM menu, i can search for avalaible carriers but the only problem now is that when i'm trying to connect to my sim carrier unfortunately phone can't register to my carrier.
I'm trying to figure out how to solve this issue.
You can try what i did and maybe you are more lucky than me and can fix your phone.
Hope to hear from you soon and maybe we can share some more ideas.

You could contact the owner of www.androidbrick.com in case he has one. Or you can ask @jbartolo to provide a backup of his other device. Taking a qcn backup is a pretty simple procedure
@efrai3 Just contacted him again and he was happy to share with me a qcn backup for your device
You can contact him too and ask for one! He will be glad to help!

problem solved: Z11 mini working again
All,
the AndroidBrick method worked.
First I tried it with my own qcn backup but that didn'twork. I received a qcn (Chinese, 64 GB) from AndroidBrick and I followed the repair guide. My Nubia Z11 mini is working again.
The solution for our problem is that you need a qcn backup from a working phone because when you install the wrong rom (international version) the modemst-partions are corrupt.
I'll prepare a backup qcn from my phone (changed IMEI) and I can send it to you.
Send me a mail at [email protected].

I will be happy to give my email address for your (or even other God) help.
Have a nice day and a good way
Hi all,
I just wanted to share what I did when I had a few problems with my Lenovo K6 Note - karatep.
What did I do which ruined my phone?
I unlocked my bootloader, still on stock ROM, haven't installed TWRP yet.
Since then no calls on non-VoLTE network like Vodafone/Airtel/BSNL.
Primary SIM doesn't connect to any other network than 4G.
I had installed CM15.1 ROM with TWRP and Magisk root and I had the same network issues.
When should you follow this guide?
You have problems with network connectivity where you can't make calls on 3G or 2G network.
Primary (data) slot doesn't connect to 3G or 2G.
No signal on either one slot or both the slots.
IMEI shown as null or 0.
WiFi and Bluetooth address either different or shown as unavailable.
Rebooting to fastboot and performing "fastboot erase modemst1; fastboot erase modemst2" didn't work for you and lost your IMEI and/or WiFi and Bluetooth address.
Do not reboot to fastboot and execute "fastboot erase modemst1; fastboot erase modemst2". I lost my IMEI and MAC because of this.
Requirements:
1. Your phone needs to have root access.
2. Your original IMEI numbers and WiFi address, you can find them from your phone's packaging box.
If you don't have your IMEI, better use an IMEI from an old/dead phone of yours. Don't google this up, there can be blacklisted IMEIs.
Steps:
Preparing the .QCN file for restoration
Download and install UltraEdit (you can google up this for the link)
Download and install Qualcomm QPST/QFIL downloader (google it again)
Download IMEI Converter (find it in the attachments below)
Download .QCN file (find it in attachments, this is for Lenovo K6 Note - karatep)
Get your IMEI (for both the slots), WiFi and Bluetooth addresses
Open IMEI Converter and type your IMEI. You will get the hexcode for your IMEI, get the hexcode for both of your IMEIs. Copy the hexcodes.
Open the .QCN file with UltraEdit and search for "08 8A 11 11 11 11 11 11 11" (without the quotes). This is the dummy IMEI in the file, you have to replace it with your phone's IMEI.
In UltraEdit, goto find and replace, search for 08 8A 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 and replace it with your IMEI's hexcode. You have to replace the first hexcode with the hexcode for your second slot's IMEI and the second hexcode with the hexcode for your first slot's IMEI.
Search for AA AA AA AA AA AA and replace it with your WiFi MAC address, this has to update your Bluetooth address as well, there are four places where you have to replace it with your WiFi MAC address.
Save the .QCN file and close UltraEdit.
Enabling DIAG COM port on your phone to download .QCN to your phone
Execute in command prompt.
adb shell
su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will enable the diagnostic port on your phone.
Restoring .QCN to your phone
Open QFIL as administrator.
Connect your phone to your computer, keep your phone powered on with DIAG port enabled.
Goto Tools -> QCN Backup Restore
Browse your edited .QCN file
Don't change SPC code - leave it as such.
Select Enable Multi-SIM.
Click on Restore QCN.
This will take some time, once done, restart your phone.
Voila! Your IMEI, WiFi and Bluetooth addresses should be updated and network should be able to receive signal and place calls.
Please feel free to reach me if you run into any issues, I'll try my best to help you!
Thanks,
tfr!

Save the .QCN file and close UltraEdit.
Enabling DIAG COM port on your phone to download .QCN to your phone
Execute in command prompt.
This will enable the diagnostic port on your phone.
Restoring .QCN to your phone

Hello,
Sorry for the late reply, we have a bad network connection here due to the lockdown.
Coming to your problem, karatep simply refers to K6 Note, so you have done the right procedure hopefully.
Can you see the IMEI when you enter *#06# in the Dialer?
You're on stock ROM right? Where did you get it from? You did a full flash with QFIL or a ROM flash only? Please note that ROM flashes can be dirty.
If you can see your IMEI, please try the following in the order I've mentioned below.
1. Check the network settings and select the proper network type. Especially if you are on Jio, set it to LTE only, make sure that the non-Jio SIM is set to GSM only. This is the most common problem.
2. Perform a full system reset from recovery, must solve the problem usually.
3. Try lineage 15.1 or 16.0, you'll be able to find the links here, they are really stable and worth upgrading.
4. Full factory flash with QFIL, you should be able to find videos on YouTube, else let me know, I'll be happy to help!
Let me know the results.
Happy to help!

Thank you for the reply,
i do see my imei when i enter the code, Its the sn number that has been changed..
and about the stock rom part, I didn't do it by myself, i had given the phone to a repair shop earlier to fix the issue, this was before i flashed the QCN myself,
i flashed the qcn from a youtube video and all that guy had told was to have stock rom marshmallow, the repair shop had flashed a marshmallow rom so i figured it would do.. but i dont know what tool they used to flash it..
i used QFIL to flash the QCN though..
Let me try the factory reset solution and if that dont work i ll try to flash stock rom again...
for the other two,
1. The network settings are inaccessible for me(i tried to attach screenshots but its asking for URLs)
3. I really dont want to use lineage OS if i dont have to..
let me try the other solutions and i ll let you know..
thank you so much for helping me..

Hello,
You cannot do anything about the serial number, there is currently no way to restore it, it should not limit the functionality of the device.
Is your phone rooted now? Do you have TWRP installed? Try resetting the phone from TWRP. If it doesn't work, restore stock rom with QFIL. Restoring with QFIL will reprogram your eMMC chip and revert it to stock, TWRP will be removed. This will give you the cleanest possible install.
For flashing QCN, you don't need stock Marshmallow. I'm on Lineage 16.0 and I keep changing my MAC address with QFIL, that is not a problem at all.
I'd like to see the screenshots, you can add them as attachments... Use the paper clip icon above, else upload the image to Google Drive and put the URL here.
Happy to help!

And no my phone is not rooted and nor is TWRP installed..i was planning on rooting it as a last resort..
I m now currently downloading the stock rom file..its nearly completed..

You don't have to root if you're flashing with QFIL.
How did you flash the QCN without root anyways?
Again, what network are you in?

i followed this youtube video..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-4tmWvTGiI
i remember reading about it somewhere.. you only need to enable diagnostic mode to flash QCN, and many phones require root to enable this port, and some other need root to unlock to bootloader..
but k53a48 phones have unlocked bootloader and diagnostic mode port can be enabled easily like the guy in the youtube video..
(power off and press power button and volume up till a screen comes on and then connecting the USB, the PC installs the diagnostic port..
this is what i think happened.. i had zero errors during qcn flashing and i hope i didn't do it wrong?
I Have idea network if that is what you asked
The ROM download is complete..so i ll start flashing then?

It's correct that you have to enable only the diagnostic port to download QCN, but I'm not sure of the procedure that you describe here....
K6 Note doesn't come with an unlocked bootloader by default, you'll have to manually unlock.
I'm not sure of the technique that is shown in the video, the general procedure to open the diagnostic port is through adb. But if you are sure that the IMEI is flashed correctly, then there's nothing to worry about I guess.
Again, you're going to flash the S223 ROM using QFIL right?
Your network is fine, it's non-VoLTE, so calls should work if you have restored the QCN properly.
I m downloading the rom from a link in the description of a video..there were multiple stock files and i asked the youtuber and he told me download this one..
Lenovo_K6_Note_K53A48_K53_USR_S306_1709051329_Q00440_POLK_QPST
This is the one that i downloaded.. why are there so many stock files anyway? Is this right? Else
Would flashing stock using lenovo moto assistant application work?
Some people in xda had success using lenovo moto assistant..but the application asks for HW code and I cannot find my HW code from my sn number- HNB1GDX3 ,
No calls are not working, even ussd codes arent working..does that mean that even the qcn flash was done wrong ?:crying:

Hello,
The file seems to be correct. You should install QPST and use it to flash the ROM file.
Lenovo moto assistant might work, I had no success with that though.
The QCN that you used might be probably dirty, I'd suggest you to reflash with QPST and try burning the QCN again. Generate a new QCN before you do.
Sir, I Did custom ROM flash for lenovo K6 note, with twrp and lineage OS 16, after completion of ROM flash, although I have IMEI number, wifi MAC address in about phone section
My problems to FIX:
------------------------
1) Need Volte support(VOLTE not supporting for my JIO SIM)
2) *#06# IMEI code not working(IT shows "Connection problem or invalid MMI code." although the IMEI numbers are available in About phone category under settings)
3) In settings Bluetooth address "Unavailable"

Hey FayazD,
What you've mentioned seems to be a common problem and I couldn't really find a fix.
1). VoLTE doesn't seem to work. Before writing this post (restoring the baseband), no other calls except VoLTE ones worked for me. After restoring the baseband, 3G/2G calls work and VoLTE doesn't work. I'm not sure if there is a fix for that.
2). This could probably be an issue with the ROM itself. Try to flash a different ROM, I recommend AEX, which I'm currently using and is very stable.
3). The Bluetooth address issue again is something which I observed in Lineage 16. It shouldn't affect the functionality, except for the changing Bluetooth address on every reboot. Not sure if it is an issue with the ROM itself, try AEX, this issue isn't present there. Again note that the Bluetooth address could be shown as "Unavailable" when Bluetooth is turned off.
Will update if there is a solution for the VoLTE thingy.

In AEX the VOLTE will work or not, if you give me the assurance i'll flash with AEX
Hello, i'have redmi note 9 (merlin).
I had brick my phone with MTK (all data deleted).
But actually i'have flash my phone with stock rom (android 11, miui 12.5.4) and i root this (magisk) and it work!
But my MEI code not are in my phone
no IMEI = no sms, no 4g, ...
How to write my old IMEI code on my phone ?
(I still have the phone box, so I know the old code)
Thanks in advance <3
(i'm french, sorry for my spelling)
Changing or repairing an IMEI code is considered illegal in some countries/regions. But, if you still have a box as you said, you can search online on how to repair the deleted IMEI number. Losing an IMEI is rare and occurs if you've done something to the critical partitions.
Also, could you see any signal on your phone before rooting it with magisk? Or, was it gone right after the main flash?
