IF THIS HAS BEEN SOLVED SOMEWHERE PLEASE TELL ME ASAP
sorry this is first post. Cheers
Hello XDA!
man ive nervous to post..
BUT i have come a null/null IMEI reading after a CM10.1 bootloop issue and trying to flash a new CM.
I have been a XDA follower for about 9 months but I have never needed to post for anything, as you have carried all of the lords answers. :angel:
I have done, stock firmware reset, Param bin, wiped all done it again. etc etc.
Many a conclusion has led me to probably a service repair centre.
I believe one option will still work for my IMEI restore but my phone comes up with a command that makes no sense.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am currently using QPST Configuration to write my IMEI back to my phone.
I have got these programs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117
Aswell as another handy IMEI converter to make sure my IMEI HEX conversion correct. (sorry cannot link. cannot find)
I have been using QPST and can follow all steps, except my phone WILL not show on on active phones.
I have reinstalled drivers and followed all necessary steps.
I have tried it in recovery mode also in QPST and no active phone still.
I believe i can get this to work, just need it to recognize my phone, and ill write the IMEI and hopefully..
Voila.. i can call the GF and tell her to chill. :good:
IS RNDIS different to RNMET? (how big of an impact will this play on the process)
In qualcomm settings i get "RNDIS + DM + MODEM" but i do not get "RNMET + "

which rom u flash i having i have been googling for and tried all th steps and solution can u help me it would kindful
Okay everybody,
I decided to write a new thread for my problem because I think my prob is a very special thing.
I'm from germany, so please don't wonder about my english. I think it is a understandable.
The story begins with a software update for my GT-I9305. After the update, the IMEI was just "null", after some work with google I found out that the efs partition was broken. With my bad knowledge for this case, I destroyed the whole EFS folder. I installed perseus kernel. And, there it was! The whole and correct IMEI. The solution was the perseus kernel (stock doesn't work, neither reflash). But then, after a while the phone doesn't boot anymore. I flashed Android 4.4.4 and my phone was revived but the IMEI was again "null". I have no backup or anything else!
So I spent approximately 20 hours or more to understand the efs thing. I found much solutions but nothing worked for me. So, here I am.
What I've tried before
-reflash KitKat
-reflash Perseus (not compatible anymore)
-formatting efs partition for a blank and new EFS for editing
-tried to edit nv_data.bin with HEX
-tried to backup efs with a 3rd party app and edit this with hex (the app doesn't support my GT-I9305)
and then, there it was:
-tried to use a working EFS partition from another GT-I9305
-editing with Qualcomm NV Tools! (I think THIS is the solution!)
I tried NV-items_reader_writer (1.0) and EFS Professional (2.1.73), but in both can't find my phone:
What I've done in NV-items_reader_writer
-dialed *#7284#
-at "Qualcomm USB Settings": "RNDIS + DM + MODEM"
-enabled USB Debugging in phone
-connected the phone
-opened NV-items_reader_writer
-checked the both boxes near the SPC box
-selected the right port (last: COM4)
-clicked on "connect"
-clicked on "read"
-> here it search the phone, but it can't find it and says "Failed.. Phone does not answer"
What I've done in EFS Professional
-dialed *#7284#
-at "Qualcomm USB Settings": "RNDIS + DM + MODEM"
-enabled USB Debugging in phone
-connected the phone
-opened EFS Pro
-clicked on "Qualcomm NV Tools"
-refreshed the Available COM Ports
-selected "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Serial Port" (last COM4)
-clicked on "Connect"
-> Here it takes few seconds and he stops and says: "Phone connection has been lost!" and "Unable to send SPC to the Phone!"
What I've tried to solve this problem
-tried QUALCOMM USB Settings: "DM + MODEM + ADB"
-reinstall all Samsung drivers
-tried to install Samsung Modem with Qualcomm drivers (failed due to wrong platform; I've Win7 X64)
-reinstall Samsung Kies (for actual drivers)
-tried to dial *#9090# (in my case, this menu is totaly blank)
-tried in factory mode
It could be that I forgot some....
Now, my question to you all is, do you know what I've done wrong? I mean, this is working for the most users, but why not for me? What do you think? Did you think I really forgot something?
Some informations:
Phone: GT-I9305
Android: 4.4.4 KitKat
Kernel: Stock (3.0.31-2760029 ; [email protected] #1 ; Fri Sep 12 13:08:24 KST 2014)
Buildnumber: KTU84P.I9305XXUFNI3
Windows: Windows 7 X64
Do you need more informations? Post it!
Please help me, I want to bring this phone back to life!
And yes I know, to change the IMEI to a number which is not your own is ILLEGAL and to prevent this, it is not well seen to talk about, but this is MY PHONE and I want to change the "null" IMEI and IMSI to MY ORIGINAL IMEI. If this is a problem, I can send a PM to an mod with my phone (where you can see the IMEI), my username on a sheet of paper and the original box with the IMEI printed on. All on one picture!
Simply... I need a hero! Be MY HERO!
im in the exact same problem as you. the reason nv tools and efs reader is not seeing your phone is because you have NULL well usb wont work. so try installing the original 4.1.1 firmware, then install perseus, then nv tools and efs software will see your phone. if you end up fixing it please help me out. upgrading to a later firmware is where I get stuck. just stays on the boot logo. and like you said perseus isn't compatible. you seem to know how to use nv tools so hopefully you can get somewhere. as I don't no how to use it. GOOD LUCK.
take your phone to the samsung if you have warranty.otherwise give to a phone repair shop for repair because your problem can only be solved with special boxes and equipments etc, and they have it. it will not cost too much.

I tried this, already. But I can't downgrade from 4.4.4. I don't read very much about this. I just know that this is a new security option from samsung (or Android)... I will tell you when I know more

The warranty is already expired...
This will be the last step I will do. Before this, I will try my very best to do this at home... But thank you for this tip
Edit:
What do you all think about this idea:
-I try to find somebody with a working EFS on GT-I9305 Android 4.4.4
-I get a backup from him
-I restore this backup to my phone
-I edit the duplicated IMEI with NV Tool to my IMEI
This requires that the NV Tool will with work with an existing IMEI and the the phone will be THE WHOLE TIME IN PLANE MODE to prevent IMEI ban...
What do you think? Will this work? Do I need somebody from germany (DBT) or is this not needed?
Take it to a phone repair shop they might have a way to fix it. And if they don't they might know someone who can and it would likely be cheaper than Samsung service center

Now I tried my idea with the EFS partition from somebody with a working GT-I9305. In my case, this isn't working... I think I must try the next step and try to repair it from a shop or so...
Hello,
someone could give me an EFS file because I deleted mine but my camera would not boot and remains on bootloop

Repair shops aren't as expensive as you think to get my camera replaced all up cost 50$ au dollars and when I first got into Android I trashed heaps of phone's (low end thankfully) before I knew what the hell I was doing and never cost me more than 80$

I want to update all you guys.
I flashed the old bootloader so I was able to downgrade to Jelly Bean. There I installed perseus and now I could connect to the Network, but I don't want. IMEI ist still 0.
But now I can enter *#9090# menu. But I can still not connect the phone with any DM Prog

If you were to 4.4.4 Official Stock rom can`t do downgrade the bootloader.What you have done is downgrade to Firmware with extracted knox bootloader.But you still with EFS corrupt partition.

Hm okay. I applied a "old bootloader" before here from xda. I don't know what it was exactly. There was a boot.so or so in it.
I will try my best. I mean, if I can beat this, this is a really great success for me. My next step is to restore a full NAND backup from a friends of mine (from a GT-I9305).
I wondered about that, after I restored a working EFS, there were no NV data.

Hi guys, i had the same issue: after a botched restore of nandroid backup (something to do with it being over 2GB, different story though), I lost IMEI (null/null) and no baseband.
I was running CM so I tried to flash the original Samsung ROM, to no avail. Then a whole bunch of other stuff that didn't work, until:
- I flashed kitkat (which failed due to some error in the install script, dunno why)
- then flashed my last nandroid, which I had already flashed with no restoration of phone functionality, HOWEVER,
- I then flashed over that nandroid the modem files (see here: dropbox.com/sh/d2ljv1ylvr9nvib/M7UzMgux4f) , mine was Modem-I9305-XXUENE2.zip for i9305 LTE Intl.
- tadaa! fixed
hope this helkps anyone, took me some 20 hours of tinkering

Hi guys .. can you share the backup NVRAM.bin of your phone 'cuz i have a problem of my unit my phone detects a sim name of our carrier but it says NO SERVICE, both sims, in Wifi also it can detect wifi networks but can't connect, also in bluetooth, i always refresh it to scan but cannot found nearby devices, and also when i used the wifi-hotspot to activate the Shareit apk but it says restart hotspot, it keeps restarting .. i think the NVRAM has been damaged
last time i've remembered, this phone was deadboot and i flashed the firmware through SP Flash Tool .. i've used FORMAT ALL + DOWNLOAD option, it's working now but i cannot use the wireless connections .. when i checked the scatter firmware, there is no nvram.bin on the folder
someone else here who has a good heart to share his NVRAM or full backup rom ?? much better if its already flashable
i hope you would help me out of this problem

Hello
I'm not an expert about Asus Phones (I've got my own ZenFone Go just since 2 days), but i'm not sure then NVRAM.bin cause networks problems. This could be something like Baseband or Firmware. Have you searched if Asus released full firmware for your phone? (and also try to flash it from recovery, or your PC) This could generally solve some problems.

Hello tambok,
Unfortunately AFAIK, NVRAM partition holds the data for all the radios(like the uniqu IMEI number for telephony radios, other stuff for Wifi and Bluetooth etc.), and it's unique for every device, so if you didn't back it up, sorry - your device has turned into a very expensive brick.
Should you manage to get it through repairs, warranty(who am I kidding, your warranty is void because of flashing it) or non-warranty, back up the NVRAM next time you format your device.
@tambok_15 bro you should be able to find your wifi, bluetooth, imei, etc code for you device on the box of that phone the day you purchased it. It should be written on one of the sides. (Screenshot below)(i erased mine)
After you find the device-specific code on the box, you can then flash it into your nvram via SN Write tool (just google it) just make sure to have the correct drivers as well. You can also find a tutorial on how to use sn write tool on the forum hovatek.
I am not 100% sure this will fix the phone entirely but it's worth a shot. Good luck.
Edit: If your problem is related to baseband i don't know about it maybe you can find a solution on google . . .

"Trying to flash" , what exactly did you flash ?
How do you flash it ?
Why dont you flash TWRP followed by ROM of any choice ?
NV normally contained in EFS partition, which can be backed up and flash from TWRP and QPST.
But again, your description is far from clear for us to help you.

When you flash using TWRP, did you actually managed to boot into system ? Or it stuck in recovery ?
Where did the nv corrupted notification appear when u were using TWRP ?
Prior to facing this issue, what you actually did ? I mean, did this phone work before ? Before you start getting this error, what you did, what you install, what you flash, what you delete ? Or did it just suddenly happen with nothing modified ?

This is absolutely not a issue, that requires using Qpst
You simply need to wipe data and follow the on screen prompts. (You will lose all data on your phone.) However the phone will work again.

Sorry that you are having these issues, But my comment was based on the photo that was posted on the OP. Typically formatting is the resolution. If you no longer have that screen available, you should contact an authorised repair center to fix it for you.
Otherwise If the phone is bound to your account, you could try what is listed here: https://www.mobilerdx.com/2019/02/xiaomi-mi-8-test-point-boot-xiaomi-mi-8-into-edl-9008-mode.html
Scams or Actual Fixes?
I have recently read about supposed hacks that according to a couple of Chinese BBS sites, has worked for some that require buying a specialised Jtag programming tool which cost about $60, that you use along with altered versions of following files: prog_emmc_firehose_8909.mbn.elf, mi8 persist image, rawprogram0, frp and a patch file. All of which that can all be obtained from here: https://romprovider.com/2019/09/mi-account-remove-xiaomi/ ( UMT Download)
Supposedly Chimera is another option: https://chimeratool.com/en/docs Again I have not used any of these tools with the mi8, I am merely sharing what I read about recently.
By the time you have spent the money acquiring the tools, it seems that you are better off just mailing the phone off to be repaired by an official repair center. Here is a web page that provides a list of official repair centers : https://www.pinoytechnoguide.com/2014/06/xiaomi-service-centers.html
Good Luck and try anything mentioned above at your own risk.
Edit: Have you tried the Flashall.bat method?
That should work since you are seeing the com port.

root cause of your issue is that you play with wrong qcn and messed up the nv,
wince you cant plugged to qpst, you need someone to make EFS backup for you torestore from twrp
You can restore phones imei if your bootloader is unlocked but only 2nd sim slot will work
How can I do this? Can you help me please?

You need backup EFS and Modem via TWRP first(better with OrangeFox). After you need Magisk first and some manipulation with QCN file via QPST. I will write it later

Maui Meta is for MTK cpu phones. You need QPST
Note 8 Pro is MTK Device
Heyo!
My Mi9T after updating to miui 12 stopped getting sim card signal and a local repair shop said it's because the phone has no IMEI number!????
What should i do now? How to resolve this issue?
Flash persist.img in recovery if you have a backup....
3 STEPS for you :
1. well , if you don't have efs/modemst's backups to restore, ITS NOT LOOKING GOOD.
2. next logical step try a fastboot rom flash , if IMEI is not restored , ITS BAD.
3. your device needs an IMEI repair , better done by a proffessional (he uses some hardware to repair the imei).
Best of luck to you

You cannot find them, they are specific to your phone , they have info on your IMEI numbers and device specific IDs ,so flashing other people's files would mess up your phone even more.
DO not flash FASTBOOT Image unless you backup your "persist" partition as you would lose other important stuff that cannot be recovered.
You have to root your phone , backup your persist partition , then flash Fastboot ROM to see if your IMEIs are restored.
If not , then IMEI repair is the way to go , just find a good repair shop and they will do it for you.
