The IMEI will remain the same.
The IMEI is very hard to change, and it is illegal to change.
You won't lose it. One thing I WOULD backup is your TA partition. (Assuming you are going to unlock your bootloader)

thanks to rely
So i've been thinking about re-unlocking my bootloader. If I do a nandroid backup now, with my bootloader locked, and unlock it, will I be able to restore the backup without any hassle? I wanna try X-honami kernel so bad but I don't wanna wipe my phone again :crying:

Hi!
So today I discovered that my phone shows my IMEI as 0. 2 months ago I hard bricked my phone because of replacing aboot or smth. XDA tutorial said that I needed to skip some IMEI part? Phone is sending out calls and everything is OK but I'm just worried about this IMEI part. Also I would like to know why my phone got hard bricked after second try unlocking bootloader (stuff where you need to replace aboot file.) Trying that again today. Is it safe to install custom rom without having to worry about my IMEI code 0.

Hello so i unlocked the bootloader and checked the bootloader status which was unlocked but before doing it i backed up ta partition of my device. And to test it i restored it and checked again and it was showing bootloader unlocked allowed yes.
So I went ahead and unlocked the bootloader again tried many custom roms in a year.
Now after a year I am trying to restore TA partition with the help of backup ta tool but somehow I am getting error in restoring it.
So all i am asking is there any manual way to do it except for the software??

Tell us which error you are getting?
Are you already back on stock?
My feelings are that maybe you need to be on stock bootloader or kernel to restore your ta partition.
How you searched the TA thread for a solution?

Found the soultion actually i was restoring it on win 10 and i was getting error related to find.exe so i went back to the thread and literally read the whole thread when i found the soultion on the last page .
I have to replace some dll in tools folder .
Now i am able to restore it but thanks anyways.
We need a donor nvram. All you need is files: nvram.bin, nvdata. img, persist. img, nvcfg. img, protect1. img, protect2. img, as well as pc. Goal: We will not take your imei. The most important thing for us is to understand what imei format miui accepts. Thanks.
Background:
NVRAM flew off by my mistake. Here I am with a friend trying to restore the imei. We're close to a solution. But we need donors to finally solve the problem. The loader is blocked
Please tell me I'm off topic. New guy.

Firstly, NOBODY should give anybody NO ONE of these files: nvram.bin, nvdata.img, persist.img, nvcfg.img, protect1.img, protect2.img.
If you have educational purpoises, here is not the place for collecting that.
Well, IMEI is present in NVRAM and NVDATA only.
NVRAM is the permant storage.
NVRAM is never formatted.
NVDATA is the variable storage.
NVDATA is formatted when data is formatted.
Nvdata is mounted at boot:
/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/nvdata /mnt/vendor/nvdata ext4 rw,seclabel,nosuid,nodev,noatime,discard,noauto_da_alloc,data=ordered 0 0
This is the file containing the IMEI: /mnt/vendor/nvdata/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/LD0B_001
We have been trying to restore the imei for 6 days. We restored the imei only in engineering. Made a backup of nvram. Then we sewed miui. And there we restored the imei, but it gives this error:
So we thought that miui accepts these imeis in a different format.
IMEI for Slot1 will not be accepted on release versions.
Go back to engineering and erase the IMEI for slot1.
It needs to be empty.
Keeps only IMEI for slot2.
And then, it will works perfectly.
Only Xiaomi Centre can recover IMEI for slot1 if you lost it.
The fact is that we used the program sn write tool to restore imei 1 and 2, bt and wf. Then, to remove the first imei, I had to use the Modern Meta program. And with the help of NVRAM editor, we removed imei 1. We launch the phone, we see that there is a second imei. But the SIM cards don't work.
If your SIM card requires the imei it works in slot2 only.
Yes, we know that the SIM card requires an imei. We made imei 2. Then after that we flashed miui (not format all and download) and after flashing miui, imei 2 flew off

But I think it is NOT specific to xiaomi/miui.
NVRAM and NVDATA structures present in MIUI, are same to other brands, models and newer android versions.
If I don't have an imei of 1. Can I link my account to mi unlock if I only have imei 2?

I need miui with imei 2 to unlock the bootloader, and then continue to live in peace

If you wipe data, flash using format all or flash using firmware upgrade, you will lose your imei again.
Read carefully:
1. Erase IMEI for slot1.
2. Write IMEI for slot2.
3. Backup NVDATA.
4. Flash anything you want or wipe your data if you want.
5. Restore NVDATA.
Done.
Keep the backup of NVDATA secure and if you need, just restore it back.

Yes, my friend.
Don't worry.
Only IMEI2 (slot2) is enough to bind your mi account and unlock your bootloader

Thank you for the information. Still, it's very good that it accepts another imei 2, otherwise it would be tin...

If you want to restore the state of unlocked bootloader, everything you need to do is unlock bootloader first and then backup the SECCFG partition.
If you lock bootloader again, just restore the backup of SECCFG and bootloader will be unlocked again.
