UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE! scroll to the bottom if you wanted to know what happened to my phone before it get fixed.
....
I was able to resolved the problem and was able to return back the BASEBAND - PTTYCMD1 missing - dev/radio missing and most of all missing IMEI without using any image from other sources...
With all the tools that i used such as MIUI, SN WRITER, MOBILEUNCLE, AT COMMAND via ADB, NVRAM IMAGE from other users, MTK DROID TOOL (which will not work since baseband and META MODE is damaged), the only thing that was able to fix this is the SP FLASH TOOL with the right phone drivers installed for p780 such as the USB VCOM which is very important!
We are all aware that some of us have tried everything to fix it... I will tell you how..
Just a quick tip: A phone with no BASEBAND and damaged meta mode will not be resolved using restoration tools but only SP Flash will..
Simple - but deadly steps... You need to full format the phone and then download stock ROM using SP Flash tool. But before you do that make sure that the VCOM Drivers are installed. (i saw it being used when the phone auto-detects and SP Flash downloads the stock rom back to the phone).
After restoring the phone back, the baseband is there already and you need to use the SN Writer tool and add the BT,IMEI,Mac Address of the phone. Restart and everything will be back to normal.

Model: Lenovo P780 8GB ROW
O.S: Kitkat
I followed one of the instructions on how to root at this website:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/help/rooting-tutorial-kitkat-t2835605
After doing the steps below... The phone does not detect IMEI anymore. It is saying invalid.
I tried using MTK Droid Tools -> does not work
MIUI: does not detect phone in meta mode anymore (meta mode is gray when phone open, there is no text that says phone is in meta mode.)
MobileUncle IMEI Restore: I have a backup of this, but after rebooting it still does not have the IMEI.
SN Writer: same with MIUI, it does not detect phone.
tried reflashing back using SP Flash tool: but when I reverted back to jellybean the IMEI is still not there...
Maybe any masters could help me. Lenovo P780 is a nice phone. But i never thought of running into this type of problem wherein i dont have a backup of NVRAM.

Hi there. Post here some screen shots of MTK Droid Tool when you plug the phone.
Look in to the /dev/radio/ and tell us what you have in there.

Hi Stympy,
I already downgraded to Jellybean but the problem still persists. The DEV/RADIO folder doesnt have anything inside it using root explorer.
I attached a screenshot of the MTKDROID Tool Information about my phone.

:crying: stympy you broke my heart after i read your comment. I am thinking of seeing a different reply. hahaha.
Anyway I hope you find a solution. i tried searching already cannot seem to find answer to my problem.
Indeed pttycommand is missing ,reason mtkdroid wont work properly.
Even when it goes to meta mode its just gray(?)
The only problem with this phone is it cannot detect any sim right now.
wifi, bluetooth all other functions are working.

Hi again. Here is alot of information about lost NVRAM.
Maybe this will help you.
I did not readed all! I dont have time this days!
If by any chance find something good and restore IMEI share with others and an little tutorial will be most then wellcome!
Use Google Chrome for translation or Yandex translator.
Good luck.
Thanks for your reply stympy. I hope others who has the same issue share their story as well.. regarding how they were able to fix it.
I read it, though english translation was bad. I am scared doing what they wanted to do like cleaning the NVRAM by formatting the phone and checking only the preloader in SP Flash tool and then downloading back an original rom to P780, and start from working back on the NVRAM like adding the Btooth, WIFI, Serial, IMEI codes back again.
The only problem on this phone is the IMEI. Wifi is working, bluetooth as well.
Sad part is pttycommand is missing. The reason why MTKDROID was not working. Even the other tools cannot detect phone in META MODE because its just gray and no words saying tthe phone is in meta just like before.
Hi Stympy,
Is there a website on how to format the phone using SP Flash without the consequence(s) of bricking it? I want to format it and flash stock rom again and see if the IMEI will work back again.

Hi. Flash tool has an option to format internal memory! That depends on flash tool! The tested flash tool for Lenovo p780 are uploaded in my post Rooting Tutorial for KitKat.
DO NOT USE OTHERS! YOU WILL ERASE NVRAM!

Thank you very much stympy. I will be looking forward for that.
I think the only way to restore IMEI is to restore using a backup copy of the firmware, probably using mtkdroid tool to create a backup.
If you are on P780 ROW 8GB Model. Maybe you can help by creating a backup copy of everything using mtkdroidtool and posting it here OR if you know a link where to download let me know.
Mine is damaged.. cannot create backup.

Hi all. For those of you who flashed wrong firmware and your IMEI are gone look what happent to me:
1. i flashed a custom recovery who errased my IMEI. That happent because the recovery was 7.5 mb instead of 6 and i was "blind" and careless and stupid and...nevermind
2. after restart surrpriseee.. no IMEI.
3. allmost total panic here.On MTK Droid Tool 2.5.3 IMEI NULL paniC again, and my worst nightmare PTTYCMD1 ERROR FILE NOT FOUND. Panic panic panic, used hard words #@$^%&(&&%$%& words alot.
4. after a little cooling i reflashed my old TWRP back and started to look in my computer for the firmware i allready have installed wass Baralajbi v6 (i like the partitioning of internal memory) firmware from needrom. Before that i tried to restore the NVRAM from TWRP. It did not work. No IMEI has appeared after restoring with TWRP.So i have rebooted the OS back and i immediatly go to /dev/radio where the PTTYCMD1 and the folder was empty.Again *&^%&$%^#^%#%^#^&(*(^* words.
5. Then i have reflashed Baralajbi firmware and after flash i have installed Root Explorer. Again i immediatly go to /dev/radio where the PTTYCMD1 and the folder was this time all the files were there.
6. So if this file PTTYCMD1 is in the /dev/radio folder you can restore your IMEI safely with any tool.
7. I hope this little problem of mine will help you other users to restore your IMEI.
Hi Stympy!
Can you give us a link or instruction how to install Baralajbi firmware?
Worth a try.. have not formatted my phone yet... I am seeing the solution here.. I want to try it!
UPDATE:
I notice a lot of links pertaining to Baralajbi firmware p780 row 8GB.. can you post the link of the same firmware you used?

No ,i have`nt try any customize ROM.I just Rooted my phone with SuperOneClick.
If anyone is interested, on cacofonix3's request I have build an *experimental* and *untested* recovery and ROM for the A800 based on the P700i_ROW_S107
(the S107 hints it is probably pretty much the same as the Russian one mentioned above)
Warning:
- I do not have this phone, so I am not sure if it is a working ROM, I cannot test myself. It either works, or it does not.
- If you never done flashing before, don't try this, leave it to the experienced people to test first.
- Make sure you have the original ROM to go back to, like this one.
- Never flash preloader / uboot / mbr / ebr
- A800 has different partition table. Never use a scatter file for a different ROM.
Advise:
- First flash the recovery using the v3.1238 flash tool, and see if that works
- Put the ROM on the SD card
- Next boot into recovery and use that to flash the ROM.
- Also advised to wipe cache and data after flashing
- I do not have this phone, so I am not sure if it is a working ROM, I cannot test myself
Info:
The ROM is essentially the one described here, but with a800 kernel/modules/firmware and also a v0.01 marker to clearly indicate 'beta'.
The A800 is pretty similar as the P700i, except higher resolution, one button less, uses the MT6577T rather than MT6577, and I suspect uses the MT6628 rather than MT6620 radio subdie. As a result, when flashing this ROM, one of the following may happen:
- It does not work at all : solution flash factory ROM again
- GSM may not work : solution flash factory ROM again. OR: The GPS may work and also pick up Galileo...
- GPS/Wifi/BT may not work : we may work around this by swapping out some libraries. Or: The GPS may work and also pick up Galileo...
- Icons may appear smaller : should be OK, as it is a bigger schreen.
- 4th button is missing: Use buttonsavior as workaround for the recent apps button.
ROM and recovery can be downloaded here. Flash tool and USB driver from here
Ok, given that i receive no feedback, neither positive nor negative, but it is a rather untested and experimental ROM, I removed the download again.

Not sure what you mean with 'flash tool drivers': the VCOM drivers are the ones you need. Also I know nothing about missing DLL.
hey thanks cybermaus i did it! :laugh: just followed your blog, but the rom is so slow the i dowloaded the A800_RUS_S107, what other roms can i use?
I cant reinstall the official ROM, so then ROOT and then install cybermaus' ROM.

My phone also encounted the same problem after flashing Custom ROM from needrom.com. Did you make a full backup of your phone? If not then it's too bad and you might need to sent your phone back to service center.
You can try this link for tutorial and see if it works to recover your IMEI and baseband, if not your last resolution is send back to service center.
http://lenovop780en.blogspot.ro/2014/01/faq.html
And after your phone back from servicing, next time remember make a full backup incase anything goes wrong. Post #3

Hi,
I think u need to flash your rom once again.
Use flash tool to install the same.
But before that connect your phone
and go to format- format whole flash-ok.
For this u need to select the scatter file from your firmware.
After this download your firmware( not firmware upgrade)
also click on check box for D/L.
After flashing new firmware you need to use above steps which I described earlier.
Good help you.

Hi I wonder have you resolved your issue or not? Actually I found a consider temporary solution.
With your phone rooted, using any root explorer, navigate to /data and copy the nvram folder to your memory card (as a backup). Then delete the whole nvram folder in /data. Wait a while, your phone should have signal and baseband already. If works let me know, I will tell you what to do next step.

In that archive is a folder for 8GB phones. Unpack all archive and copy the files in target_bin_8GB files folder and overite the files from target_bin folder. Then and only then flash the 8GB phones!
Good Luck.

SIM ME Locked
After installing this ROM (v2.0 GUI for 8GB), my phone unable to get the signal and it says "SIM ME Locked, do you want to unlock?" I press Unlock and nothing happened.
Try revert back to JB S123_ROW, and still the same, but this time I had to put the unlock code. (see the attached file). Tried standard 1234 but still unable to unlock my SIM, and it said I still have 3 more attempt to put the unlock code. Anybody can help me?

First try recovering IMEI backup using mobile uncle. If you dont see both the SIM working even after that, you may have to try a different Radio. Try flashing the attached, if you are using the device in India.

HELP PLS
I have P780 with 4.2.2. When I tried to flash a new ROM, it abruptly stopped and now the phone starts, but crashes all the apps. Not even the System Settings are accessible. Both sim cards not recognised, play store doesn't work, none of the apps work, i can see the list of apps, but of no use.
Can someone pls help me?
I also tried to flash the files again, but no response. The SD card is recognised. So I can copy files into the phone. But no other response from phone.
Thanks a lot for your time!

Hi. You must reflash again your phone. Because in this moment your preloader is messed up you must reinstall drivers.
After drivers reinstall you should be abble to flash again.
Tell me if you have problems !
Good Luck.

I could not finish the reflash using MTKDroid tools.
Hey Stympy,
The phone stopped responding. When I switch on, it just shows Lenovo logo and sticks there. No further response. It doesn't go to recovery mode (power button+ volume up)!
I think I am in a deep s**t now.
It seems the phone is shut down from inside!
Can you please get me out?!
Thanks a ton!

I downloaded the files as suggested in your post.
However, I could not flash anything into my phone. So I tried to use MTKDroid tool to open the phone in TWRP recovery mode and installed the TWRP_v2.7.1.1_P780_ROW_KK_Corrected.zip in recovery mode. After this, I rebooted into recovery again, and tried to install the P780_ROW_S226_8GB_KIT_KAT.zip thro recovery. But that ended in failure.
When I try to flash the ROW using SP FLash tools, this is the log I am getting. I do not see any action in the tool except all the options grey out! I had installed the USB drivers and my phone is being detected in the MTKDroid tool, but not in the SPFlash tool.
Now the phone is starting, but none of the modules work, like sim card, contacts, apps, store, etc.
Any suggestions?
Thanks a bunch!:good::good::good:

Dear Stympy,
After trying many ROM and updates, I could finally flash official updateota from Lenovo, which seems working.
My phone is up and running now with the KitKat 4.4.2 P780_ROW_S220_140722.
However, the internal storage seems to be a problem in this version. It says the internal memory is full and I am not able to access the internal memory. Is there any way out? Also if I flash the ROM given by you, will it work?
Thanks a lot for being there!:good:

Hope it helps
I had similar problem with baseband. Only way to restore it is to flash stable fastboot rom through sp flash and the it will be restored. After that switch do what ever rom you want.
