Xaiomi Pocophone F1 has bands 2 and 4 locked. Needed for LTE in the USA.
We need somebody with a rooted Mi 8 to do a QCN backup of their device.
This will help us in potentially unlocking our devices LTE bands.
I would appreciate it greatly.
There are instructions on what we need here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/help/poco-f1-lte-bands-unlock-t3835467

shouldn't be very difficult.
I'll see if I got time after work to make a backup

Hello friend, see if you can help me please.
I've tried everything and I can not solve my problem.
My mi 8 crashed and broke the screen, I changed the display and the battery, after that I was without signal and without wi-fi.
I tried several procedures on the internet until I lost my imei and my mac adress.
I read that I would have to restore qcn file, however I did not back up.
I'm from Brazil and here is no assistance from Xiaomi
I have the imeis that comes in the product box. I just wanted to write you again, but I can not
Would you be very kind and send me this backup qcn?
Thank you very much.
You guys can try flashing fastboot rom, which reflashes the modems. It worked for me.

Hello, I've tried flashing a few fastboot rom, custom, stock, downgrade and nothing.
I've even tried to restart in diag port mode and use the program to write imeie also could not. I think the last attempt would be to backup qcn.
Would you like to help me, my friend?

I tried so many procedures that I was without imei and mac adress.
In my case I think only the qcn file.

"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

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.

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...

Only a few carriers do accept registering devices with imei=0. so, it is a valid effort to recover it.
I updated to 13.0.2 with bootloader unlocked and magisk installed working fine. I like this last update.

In Brazil, it kinda is. Only one carrier allow a imei 0 device to connect, and voice calls doesn`t work either.
And mate, It is easy. Meta mode, modem meta or maui meta, write it, disconnect, and you`re done. But making that **** boot after using maui meta is the hard part.
(btw, CDS info mode doesn`t work on camellia variant)

No, the last bit I`m talking about camellia firmware, mate. CDS Info doesn't even appear on MTK EM there.
I just installed camellian engineering firmware due to A - Not finding camellia Eng Firmware anywhere, B - to test a couple of things. I tried to mod MIUI 13.0.4.0 SKSCNXM, and it's been on maintenance SINCE the failure to it. Which I messed up the EFS partition and been trying to fix. Which, by the way, ended on my situation above. Imei 0, can do it through meta mode, but it ends in a bootloop whatever the firmware I load up after.
Might need to borrow someone else's NVRAM, flash it, change the IMEI to mine, and see if it works.
Right now, to actually keep it "usable", it's on 12.5.5.0 RKSCNXM.
PS: The only differences between Camellian and Camellia are: The former got three cams, and NFC.
Oddly, Camellia's MTK Engineering Mode got a NFC tab, despite not oficially supporting it. Maybe SW disabled?

It's... Not bricked? Mate, not sure if you understand me, but the problem arised from my attempt to dev a custom rom based on miui china. And I'm literally using it to talk here.
Tried to make a lightweight version of miui for Camellia and ended messing up a few stuff, so I had to nuke the device.
Root, swapping camellia( n ) software back and forth, childs' play. But I messed up the code when messing with the internals of software. Get it now?

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."

Install Engineering ROM and then write imei using available tools.

I fear that if I install the ROM, the phone might brick again

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.

Try flashing the ENG rom and try fixing your IMEI

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.
