Hello! I lost IMEI and got NVRAM Warning after flashing Redmi 9 with SP Flash Tool. I tried lots of programs to repair it like Maui Meta, SN Write Tool etc. But I can't get the drivers working properly. Are there any other ways to repair it? If there are, could you please help me to get it working? I feel like I'm already about to surrender...

The problem is that i checked "firmware upgrade" and it's all erased anyway. I've read this is a common problem when you use sp you lose imei and stuff. I would fix this in a few minutes but this stupid drivers...just can't get them working...

Without imei is it possible to unlock bootloader or root your devices

If you didn't backup your IMEI before you lost it, probably you will never can recover both of imei.
But, you can recover one of them.
You need to write the IMEI to any (newer) device that allow imei writing. (Redmi Note 8 Pro can does it.)
And then, making the imei 1 as empty/null and into imei 2 you can write your new imei.
After it, you can backup the nvdata from that phone and restore it to your device.
So, you will have only imei 2. If you try to write imei 1 too, your device will get nvdata corrupted.
Good luck.

If you lost your imei, definitely you didn't make a firmware upgrade, but a format all.
Shas45558 said:

Yes, you can.
But you need a sim card from an operator that doesn't require the imei for using its service.
And obviously, you need your baseband intact.
If you try a sim card from an operator that requires imei for using its service, the sim card will not be registered.
If you want to restore the state of UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, you need to follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...omi-redmi-note-9-xiaomi-redmi-10x-4g.4220013/

No. It will never write or recover your IMEI.
Accidently got the drivers working. Then i tried using maui meta and sn write tool to fix imei but i got errors. For example maui meta says "Write to target failed" and sn gives something like timeout error. Never felt that close...

"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.

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

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.
Is it possible ? I found a program which name is DFT Pro to repair but I couldn't find all supported devices list from software ?
You haven't necessary lost the IMEI. You can try `fastboot flash modem modem.img` (you'd need to extract it from payload.bin first) from the ROM that you've installed (or just flash complete rom using rollback images from anroid 13 beta, but it'll wipe your data)
From my experience, fastboot on 1+10pro is messed up and sometimes it doesn't flash some partitions

The device won't load imei if modem is broken. On this device the code responsible for modem configuration is on `modem` partition. imei is stored elsewhere, but the device can still show "null" instead of imei if the modem is not loaded correctly
A friend of mine tried with UMT pro dongle and it was unsuccessful I think CPU is not supported yet.

Any update on IMEI repair of oneplus 10 pro ?
No, there is a new version of UMT pro since few days but still no support for OP 10 PRO !
Use the rollback package..at least try starting over, don't attempt to mod your online to reflect your IMEI manually.
Just rollback, if it works then great if not then RMA it.
IIRC there used to be an EFS partition I believe it was called that housed the IMEI numbers on the device.
Things may have changed but if not then without a back up, it wont work.
Rollback then RMA if it doesn't work.
Hello everyone , I have heard that oneplus 10 pro IMEI repair is possible now with latest update in flashing tools like QPST or UMT pro but I am not sure , just confirm me that I can repair/change IMEI of oneplus 10 pro? , I would appreciate your reply and time . THANKS

No need for capitals, you're the one asking for help.
Some literature from a previous thread on the legalities of changing an IMEI.
IMEI change and legality, mods please read
Good afternoon mods, I'm sorry but I had to open a thread about this topic again. It's absolutely not illegal to change your IMEI in most of the world. For instance, it's completely legal in the entirety of the US (see...
forum.xda-developers.com
If your phones legit then it's a case of restoration, not change..
Your device is under warranty, send it back.

Hi, sorry for unrelated question but, UMT pro can be used without the dongle?
Hello guys, after some struggle trying to unbrick my poco m3 pro, i faced a new probem, my IMEI has gone, as a noob that i am, i didn't made any kind of backup, i'm trying alot of ways, and still i didn't had any luck to re-write my IMEI (i still jave the numbem on the box of the phone) to the device, i'm using linux, almost everything that i found is to windows, does jave any kind of tool for linux, or i'll have to put windows on my laptop just for this porpouse?
there is anychance to use mtkdrive tool, the same used to bypass security for sp tools to do this ?
thanks for now
if your mobile services works, write imei is not necessary. and it's a dangerous operation. so if your devices now works fine, my suggestion is DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING
all my old phones that after modding lost originals imei worked without problems
a mobile sim could work also with all imei numbers=0
sadly my mobile service don't work, i keep zero signal, and when i try to get IMEI numbers on Settings > About device, it says unknown on both IMEis
ok
first try your sim into another device to be sure is not damaged
second search xiaomi redmi note 10 5g fastboot engineering rom and flash. this rom should repair some high problems like your.
if boot and all work fine, update to miui13. good luck

its only information and you can use Maui Meta in Meta mode if you enter edl/testpoint, for me the first time lost two imei only return The Second imei, but send to waranty and change the Phone.

so... after long searchs and alot of re-bricks, i finally managed to instal an ENG rom, and had found some NVRAM and NVDATA files to flash too, with those i finally made to get some signal, but still my IMEIs is unknown when i get to about phone, and when i type *#06# i get nothing, not even 0000's. now how do i update from eng rom to a more updated version of miui without losing those configuration files

can i ask where did you get the eng rom?
How do I write IMEI along with baseband version back to my phone? I really don't want to risk bricking it again, that's enough stress for me in the past two days
I heard that I can only flash IMEI 2 back to it, and if I want flashing IMEI 1 as well I'd need to install a custom rom on the phone. So if that's a solution I'd love if someone could help me with it. MIUI 13 is slow and laggy af (which is the reason I bricked the phone in the first place, to install a better ROM).
But here's something, when I flash the phone's firmware through fastboot, issues start to rise (as per my experience with it so far), but through SP Flash Tool, it's alright. So I'd love to know if installing custom ROMs using the tool would be alright, if not then if recovery is required or if fastboot is fit for the job. If that's an issue I'd love if someone could give me advice when it comes to it.
Old post 1: (not my current situation)
"Long story short, I bricked the phone and after months, I've finally been able to repair it (downgraded from MIUI 13 to MIUI 11), but I lost my IMEI. I have the phone's two IMEI numbers, but I could not find any tool to help me write it to the phone. Either that, or I don't know whether the phone should be turned on or off, or if there's any special mode that's required for that matter.
Help would really be appreciated."
Old post 2:
"It happened after manually installing engineering ROM on it, now I can only doubt it's BROM mode that's working and nothing else, but I'm not sure. SP Flash Tool doesn't want to work with the phone since I want to flash the stock rom back. I really need help please."

The reason why my phone broke in the first place was due to flashing a misc.bin file after following a YouTube tutorial. It was part of a process to download twrp on the phone unofficially. Since then I started looking for ways to fix it until I finally found a post that had to do with fixing nvdata corruption (which was the error I had prior to fixing the phone) which helped.
So yeah, I don't think I can trust flashing ROMs on my phone as much as before, but I'll still try the engineering ROM thing.

So um...it bricked. This time worse than before. It doesn't turn on at all no matter how long I press the power button. It was after I manually flashed eng rom.

Does it shows up in device manager?

Yep, it doesn't show up as it's name or "Android", it shows up as MediaTek USB Port (COM3), that's why I doubted it to be in BROM mode.

By the way, after trying to connect to it using mtkclient, I got this error:
DeviceClass - [LIB]: ←[31mCouldn't get device configuration.←[0m

Hold on, it worked now for some reason when I disconnected the battery, but it keeps connecting and disconnecting so that's an issue.
I'll try to reconnect the battery and see.

Bro, thank you so much, the phone's unbricked now. I couldn't believe my eyes
But for now, is there any solution for the IMEI problem?

I always recommend a NV Backup before messing up with your own device, that's all I know.
Download the file attached here but remember you can fix only second IMEI using this method. Please don't try to fix both IMEI or NV Data will be corrupted again.

The guy in the video is using MIUI 12, I have MIUI 13. I don't know if that's an issue but someone in the comments said something about MIUI or so. I'm not a professional but many times when I see tutorials they're very specific with the MIUI version.
Also, I'm not sure how to back up nv data, do I use mtkclient or is it somewhere in the attachment you sent me?
And one more thing, my phone's baseband version is unknown, could that affect the process?

You don't need the backup anymore and you can follow the tutorial in the video irrespective of the MIUI version you have.
I have also attached the files that are used in the video.

The phone keeps rebooting when connecting it to Maui META. Like it shows META MODE at the bottom of the screen but then it turns off. Now it's bootlooping. I guess I'll have to flash MIUI on it again. At least I still have access to fastboot and recovery.
Update: NV Data corrupted after flashing MIUI, but I got a solution that hopefully works.
Update 2: After flashing MIUI 11 (along with some other nvdata and nvram files, i think they're just empty), it works now and the error is gone. But as I said IMEI issue's still there. Maybe I would need engineering ROM for this one? Although it bricked my phone before.
Also, the phone started bootlooping before attempting the Maui META thing, so maybe it's either the manual formatting of partitions or the files I flashed on it.

So I ran into another issue. it tells me I need "exaid-verified.img" and that verified boot is enabled, which is not present in the ENG ROM folder.

Btw one more thing, I can update my phone right? Like, it won't break my phone? I'm good with MIUI 11 but I wonder if updating it would fix baseband version.
