[Q] [L7] Lost imei. How do I recovery it?

Hi,
A couple of months ago I lost my IMEI code due to an intrerupted KDZ flashing (my fault, don't panic, KDZ is a safe tool if you follow the steps). Luckly RIL still works, but when i dial *#06# it shows IMEI: 0 or null, depending on the rom.
I tried a few methods that were originally made for other lg phone but none seem to work. As far as I know, not all network operator allow connecting without IMEI and that's why i'm asking here about this.
Does anyone know how to get back my imei? I also read the service manuals on P700 (PM me for them) and i didn't find a thing. I really don't want to damage my phone and send it to warranty because of this

- Dial *#06# to see your device IMEI. Dont write it here. Only take a look what appears. If is one number of 15 digits, is ok. If no, tell me what appears :highfive:
- Dial *#1234# and make a screenshot
- Conect it to Kies and make a screenshot

Try the page I pasted u before in the thread #7. If that dont works you will need one software tool for repair ur IMEI (Z3X-BOX Samsung TooL, Octopus box, etc or simply leting it in one Service Center). Im sorry for bad news maybe

You need to put your simcard pin number that your provider gave it to you .when you purchase this simcard to them and im sure it goes with pin number and puk number. Or maybe i might be wrong.?!?
Sent from Hell ?

I think if you can, you should return it to the person who you bought it from, clearly he messed something up bad in the device! You can try restoring the IMEI, but that can be quite difficult!

What can you do if you have a Imei null/null. Because I have since 3 days I now discover. I could call and had a network 3 days ago (and there was a Imei number too) and suddenly the network dissapeared and because of your message I looked up my Imei nr. and it says null/null. I did nothing and had a Original rom of Samsung. Please let me know what I ccan do. I have a I9505. Many thanks!

Do you have backup nandroid??

[FIXED] NEED URGENT HELP! My phone's MEID is now 0!

I was on stock 4.2.2 on my i9505 and decided to flash the Google Play Edition ROM
Now I have no network and when I dial *#06# it says:
MEID
0
Can anyone please help me out?

I tried downloading the program, the thing is, I only know my IMEI (which is what shows behind the battery), but I can't find my MEID or ESN (because I actually don't know what they are... is the ESN the Serial Number? Because I've read that ESNs are only for the US? I'm on Portugal Vodafone).
Anyways, when I write the IMEI and press "write", nothing happens. Then I press "Reset" at the top right, and the phone doesn't reboot.
I downloaded a Demo version of the software, but wasn't it supposed to work anyways?

Actually I read on another post that it doesn't have to be the paid version of the program. He doesn't specifically say to pay for it, he says something like "pay for it or whatever".
I now have my MEID because I found a converter, but... The program still doesn't work. I'm starting to wonder if it's because I'm on Windows 8...

I would also like to add that I was on 4.2.2, did a Nandroid Backup, but then had to flash 4.3 because I couldn't find a 4.2.2 ROM on samfirmware (since it only shows me the latest one).
Anyways, on this 4.3 ROM I can't restore my Nandroid Backup. It just bootloops. Ideas?

PROBLEM FIXED.
Unfortunately what I did might not be of help for anyone with the same problem. But here it goes:
Like I said, I was on 4.2.2 originally. But since I couldn't find a 4.2.2 official firmware, I had to download a 4.3 stock one. I flashed it once -- still the same problem. Tried flashing another ROM -- still the same problem. BUT THEN, I flashed the 4.3 stock ROM again, and it just worked! IDK what happened.
Anyways, hope someone can get the same results as me!

[Q] Need help - New phone came rooted?

Hello, i purchased a "new" lg g2 from HK.
The device came with SU installed and had no plastic on the screen.
Also - when trying to update to kit-kat it says "device is not registered'.
Could this be a new phone? Is it fake? Or just used??
Thanks!

You could type *#06# into your dialler and the IMEI should show up. Then you can type your IMEI into this URL behind "esn=" instead of ***
Code:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=***
If it's a fake I'd guess you'd get something like this:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=AnyRandomNonG2IMEI
Code:
<response req_cmd="auth_model_check" status="FAIL"/>
If the IMEI is good that link should give you a link to the latest firmware for your particular model, like this for my D802
Code:
<sw_url>
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW157106432109876543213/D80220F_00.kdz
</sw_url>
and you can probably flash that according to this thread to get the device to factory default and latest official update.
or at least that's what I would try

So i clicked the link from my lg g2 and got the "fail" message. Does that mean the phone is fake?? What should I do about it??

but
Then again, I Checked imei.info and got lg g2 d802....

If you put your IMEI into the URL and a fail came back I would say that means that the device you have is not in fact an LG G2.
The clickable link I posted is a counter-example of what you should get and not indicative of anything. Copy
Code:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=***
into the address bar in your browser and replace *** with your IMEI. The IMEI is the number that should show up when you type *#06# into your dialler (you can also find it under Settings>About phone>Status>IMEI).
Then hit enter and see what shows up.
Keep in mind I can't say for sure as I have never encountered that case... Maybe try to find more things that could indicate the authenticity (or lack thereof).
Check the "About phone" section in your settings, dig through the build.prop file etc (you'll find stuff if you google I'm sure)

Well there you go, now if you follow my link (plug in your IMEI first) then you can download a factory image and flash that to completely restore/update the phone
Edit: I guess that also means that the device is not new as it has at least been rooted...

So wierd, i ordered 4 phones, two work and the other 2 gives "fail" message.
They look identical in every way, software and firmware wise... could this device be stolen or just not registered as a "sold" unit at lg??

Sorry, I have to pass on this one did you check imei.info as well? maybe the site I suggested cant handle certain model variants of the G2 (there are about 8 different variants).
If you can, get the app Build Prop Editor by JRummy and search for "ro.product.model" or simply "model" and see what comes up. (Maybe use a seperate google account so you wouldn't associate your regular one with a potentially stolen device...)
or compare the info in Settings>About Phone. (just bangin' rocks together here...)

well
Phone seems to be genuine, i ran some benchmarks and cheked and compared all setting.
Only problem is it's not registered at LG for some reason.
Anyways - i don't really care about OTA updates, but can LG brick my phone or block it??

@dorlev you maybe can try to flash stock kdz or tot, it may sounds weird but who knows. As far as i hear your story the device isnt registered in the LG database. So you could contact lg support maybe about that and or check also the link from preggy with your imei. Dont post your imei here btw

THis is general thread. Post it at Q/A.

Anyone know why MI NOTE 2 always no network with any global stable ROM ...

Hello guys...
as of my title my Mi note 2 cannot use for phone, no network always.
I brought to service center and he said network module broken, cause my screen broken i cannot claim my guarantee.
Is there any suggest for me ? For any task exclude phone is work fine, but i founded yesterday one application not detected fingerprint but on another phone MI 5 (MIUI 9) that application founded fingerprint, why this one?

So , are you saying that you flashed with MiFlash some global stable versions and you are not receiving network?
From when you have this problem?
A rom flash caused this? An update?

No with miflash but with download rom or i use update with updater... I just founded if my imei is unknown, can you help me to fill my imei as on the box sticker.. i think the problem i cannot have network cause it is .. i have granted to unlock my phone cause imei unknown i cannot do that.. and flash with miflash.. i am not remember exactly cause the first have this my sim card still micro not nano .. so maybe few month later.. exactly from new one...

Download the fastboot global beta rom from miui forum and open the flash all without storage.bat file then reboot to fastboot and plug your phone then hold the power button and let it boot. See if this works.

I can't explain it all for you , you need to do some research on your own.
Follow this guide to install adb and fastboot on your PC : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Then open the flash_all_except_storage.bat and plug the phone in.

I have the same problem here...already tried mi flash in fastboot mode but still got invalid imei

There is a way to get your signal back , but your imei will be 00 or something like that.
Maybe you will have more luck than others.
You need to have root on your phone.
Also, adb and fastboot drivers are a must.
You will need to follow these 2 tutorials:
https://xiaomifirmware.com/guides-and-tips/enter-diag-mode-backup-imei-using-qpst/
http://en.miui.com/thread-315233-1-1.html
On the second one, it doesn't matter is for Mi4-C, it will be the same steps for our device.
Be careful as this method involves high level "stuff" . Don't skip steps and keep the first .qcn file safe.
I have a question for you. Your MEID is just like the one from the box right now?

It's in About phone -> Status -> IMEI information. If you don't have it there, try to see if *#06# shows it.
If you can't find it , no problem.
