Fixing 0 IMEI

Hello. I've been getting a lot of emails on how to do that and i thought i should make a thread here.
Now you got to have the original box in which there is the imei written. I don't take any credit for this guide as i didn't write it but i found it somewhere here but it doesn't exist anymore. I'm not responsible for any damage may happen to your phone. I did it several times after flashing official 2.3.5.
It has worked fine with my IDEOS X5 U8800.
1. Tools
a. Drivers for U800 32bit win 7 (tested and work )
http://www.2shared.com/file/fnP5fc8G/u8800Drivers.html
b. Drivers for Android 32 and 64 bit win 7 (not tested )
http://www.2shared.com/file/ZNZ4Q0lk...012_09_12.html
c. Software for restore

2. Enable debugging by USB in the settings.
In call type * # * # 2846579 # * # * http://postimage.org/image/tnj4s2dyj/
3. Go to ProjectMenu -> Background settings -> Usb port settings put the Manufacture mode and corfim.
4. Go again to ProjectMenu -> Background settings -> Qualcomm backround open settings put the background open. Password 0 and corfim.
5. Go again to ProjectMenu -> Background settings -> Log setting -> Log switch put log on and corfim.
6. Now conect your phone to pc and install the drivers.
You must see this at your device manager http://postimage.org/image/5lrm61agd/
7. Instal DFS and run.
8. Click Ports, select the port with the signature DBAdapter Reserved Interface (double click) to close.

10) Press the SPC, the bottom will Device Unlocked.
11) Select Programming and in the IMEI write yours and press Write.

13) Check Imei, may appear after a reboot, if not try a few more times to try to set the port speed to 115200 (box to the left of DM)
Check IMEI *#06#
As soon as the IMEI restored change:
* # * # 2846579 # * # * -> ProjectMenu -> Background settings -> Usb port settings to put on the Manufacture mode google mode (or normal if you do not get up google)
* # * # 2846579 # * # * -> ProjectMenu - > Background settings -> Qualcomm backround open settings put close
Good luck..

Thanks a lot... now I got my imei back. But now I have one another problem, I installed ics rom and now my wifi Mac id is 00:00:00:00:00:00. Are they related?

This procedure did not work for me. I found it a couple of weeks ago in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591997) and gave it a try (numerous times) without success. I was able to complete all steps up until actually writing the new IMEI. I attempted to write it a couple of dozen times without any success. It appears to work but the lMEI never actually changes.
I also found another procedure using a program called NVedit but it would give me an error stating the NV location was set to read only (I forget the actually wording). It seems that my phone has the location that contains my IMEI locked in some way that nothing can change it. So I gave up on that phone and am using a different one that I bought on eBay, brand new at a dirt cheap price ($27.00).

are you rooted? i remember having these issues when i flashed 2.3 after 4.2 rom. u first need ti flash 2.2 then 2.3 and that should work

Yes, I am rooted.
I started out on 2.2 way back in the beginning. Then I flashed 2.3.5. That's when I lost my IMEI and replaced the phone.
But I wanted to keep experimenting at getting it working 100% even though I had a new working, rooted, and customized phone. Using 5IromToolBox I restored a backup from the new phone to the broken phone just to see if it would work. Then I flashed Stallion-51-ICS custom ROM. It is a GB based ROM with look and feel of ICS.
When I run the procedure in this thread, everything looks as though it has worked, but the IMEI never changes. So what did 5Irom do differently that it was able to restore the backup from a different phone but I cannot use DFS or NVEditor to write to the locations? The back I made from the new phone and restored to the old one is Consumer Cellular so I suspect they have locked something out that 5Irom is able to get around but other tools don't.
On another note, just for the heck of it I tried to upgrade to ICS from GB and it fails on the first update step. Go figure.
If I could find a full-flash procedure for the pro and 51 versions of this phone I suspect I could resolve all issues. Who knows?
UPDATE: I went through the whole process again and noted a point I forgot to mention. In DFS at the bottom of the screen EQF is yellow, not green. I don't recall exactly what that means but in reading through the DFS doc, it states that writing a new IMEI is not possible as long as EQF is yellow. When I enter my IMEI and click on the WRITE command the response is "MODECHANGE OfflineD OK"

it should be green! what i would do is to flash 2.2 then 2.3.5 and follow again the steps very carefully! maybe u ever flashed a partition and it's not the default one? i can't really help you :/ try this and if it doesn't work make a thread in the q&a section

Yeah, I knew that it should be green. The bottom line is I do not have the 2.2 image to flash. I would have done that a long time ago if I had it. All I have is the DiskImage backup that I made off of my new phone. When I flashed it onto the old phone it starts, displays the Consumer Cellular logo for about ten seconds then shuts off immediately. As far as starting a thread in Q & A, I did that weeks ago and got nowhere fast.
Any link I have found for the original 2.2 for -51 and pro is usually a broken link. or it takes me to download that stupid iLivid program that doesn't do squat to get the files I need. I did find a DiskImage file that somebody made and posted but it is almost 4 gig in size. You are supposed to use Pink Screen to load it but Pink Screen only gives me access to the image directory and it's only 256 meg.
Thank you for your time and suggestions.

I believe in the wiki section there are links to default 2.2 and 2.3.5. The ones I found a long time ago were from Blefish, although I'm not sure. Good luck!

Dead link.
Hi.
I try to download the "Drivers for Android 32 and 64 bit win 7 (not tested )", but its a dead link. I run win7 pro, and somehow the 32 bit driver doesn't work.
Would like to try the 64 bit driver. Could u reupload it, please?

I just did a repost cause i veen asked a lot of times I don't have the files and I don't thinks drivers are needed. You could just install huawei's suite for PC

ευχαριστω πολυ----thanks man

Hi All,
Many thanks for this post.
Iv recently installed the Blefish CM11 rom for U8800 and its works fine. Only issue I have is IMEI=0. I can make and receive calls and even use the mobile internet.
My question is - Is there a way to edit the IMEI no on KK4.4.2 ROM through entering in the engineering mode?
or else, will have to start from the beginning (stock rom process as mentioned in the OP).
thanks for your help.

Hi,
I haven't found out the way to fix it yet.
Only way I got to fix is to redo the stock rom, root, save the imei and the reflash the custom rom.
The reason for the imei issue was changing the partitions
thnx anyways

this guide that you have post it has been made by me and at least you should have say that is ported from me. Even the links that you have are in my acount.

Recovering Your LOST IMEI on YU Yureka ,Yunique & other qualcomm based devices

Hi friends We often suffer hard brick in our devices .
Even after flashing stock recovery . IMEI is not recovered
its easy to recover imei in MTK based devices but when it comes to qualcomm based devices
it is a big mess
This is my First Tutorial
how to recover lost IMEI in yureka yunqiue & other some qualcomm devices
im not responsible if anything wrong happen to your device
Tools you need
QXDM professional
usb hs-diagnostic 9006 driver
adb tool & driver
terminal app
now lets begin
1) Root your bricked phone & install terminal app (Note :- assuming you flashed stock rom or custom rom & you are facing imei lost issue )
now grant terminal app su permission by typing
SU in the app
in terminal type this code
Code:
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
now connect you phone to the usb
if you have installed the drivers correctly your phone will be detected by you system in diagnostics mode
now here is the trick
IMEI information is located inside the NV_ITEMS ==550
open qxdm professional
goto communication
browse to NV_ITEMS
now search for 550 in Item number
select the option dual sim (sim 0 stands for SIM1 and 1 stands for SIM2)
Code:
IMEI example "123456-78-9012340"
sort it out 1 ,23 ,45 ,67 ,89 01 ,23 ,40
{ 0x08, 0x1A, 0x32, 0x54, 0x76, 0x98, 0x10, 0x32, 0x04 }
As you can see i have sorted it out & swaped the values
0x08 is the length keep it as it
0x1A = first digit of IMEI with A
0x32 = swaped 23 to 32
.
.
after you are done putting value of your IMEI in sim 1 press the write button & wait few sec
now repeatg the step for sim2

Just reinstall your rom by wiping internal storage also. Then let the phone boot. Don't install gapps for quicker bootup. Then after restoring imei flash the rom of your choice. Try cm nightly first for recovering imei.

I was on cm13 unofficial build. I tried qxdm professional but there was this write protected error. I connected my device in fastboot mode and erased system. Then hotbooted TWRP (latest) and flashed the same rom again after wiping data and internal storage using rm rf. Then i let the rom boot up. (Without Gapps). Then i again tried the same steps as mentioned above. And after i got imei back, i rolled to my favourite rom. Hope you get back your imei soon.

Service disabled\Current version not available for user\D855RE\ [solved]!!!

Do it at own risk.
Hello evreybody!!!
After 1 months of hard work,I found out how to solve “Service disabled” (‘Current version not available for user”phone model855RE) no network error.
I know,that a lot of people have this problem with his device,so I decided to share it with you.
I have bought D855 from alliexpress.It worked well with KitKat.When updated it with D85530 MM firmware,after booting the 2G\3G\LTE network is gone and in the screen appears a message “Service disabled”I have tried flash many D855 stock \custom firmwares,modems,restored several d855.qcn file but nothing.I was so disappointed,that the only solution is the motherboard replacement.But I talked with guy,and he said me,that my device can be a”Frankenstein”phone.(D855 body with D850 motherboard)It easily can be happened,if you buy a Refrubised phone from China)So that was my problem.When I flashed a D850 stock SW and restored a qcn from a working D850,my 2G\3G network worked like a charme.
My device has been through a lot of truble.(Soft and Hard brick,softwer version has become D855RE,Current version not available for user e.g)
So let’s start!
1.At first,make sure that in your D855 body,a D850 motherboard.
2.Download and install Lg Flashtools V1.8 and stock firmware for D850(LGD850AT-01-V10d-310-410-JUN-19-2014+0.tot).

Hello evreybody!!!
After 1 months of hard work,I found out how to solve “Service disabled” (‘Current version not available for user”phone model855RE) no network error.
I know,that a lot of people have this problem with his device,so I decided to share it with you.
I have bought D855 from alliexpress.It worked well with KitKat.When updated it with D85530 MM firmware,after booting the 2G\3G\LTE network is gone and in the screen appears a message “Service disabled”I have tried flash many D855 stock \custom firmwares,modems,restored several d855.qcn file but nothing.I was so disappointed,that the only solution is the motherboard replacement.But I talked with guy,and he said me,that my device can be a”Frankenstein”phone.(D855 body with D850 motherboard)It easily can be happened,if you buy a Refrubised phone from China)So that was my problem.When I flashed a D850 stock SW and restored a qcn from a working D850,my 2G\3G network worked like a charme.

Hi, my device is and d850, It works only in 2g. I´ve flashed a QCN who sahred in xda and with NV Manager could write my IMEI, after reboot phone, it connected 4g but only for a few moments... now only works in 2g again and it could not reconnect 4g/3g again.
Then I have flashed another QCN from google and now this works at least in H, but it doesn´t work 4g.
Do you know any solution ? Thank you very much

I will try this

Hi.Your trien was succesfull?

Hi. what am I missing? LG Flash Tool won't let me flash the dll esited tot. I have followed your instruction to edit one string xvlg-d950 to d850V, but the file is D855AT instead ofD855v.

Hi Robert. Thanks a lot for sharing this fix. I've been searching for solution for my LG G3 for almost a year now. I got a signal now. Wow! I can use now my phone for calls and data. I bought this online as well, with the service disabled condition.
The error i got yesterday on flashing the D850 rom is that I have written D855v on the hex editor, but it should only be D855.
Once again, thanks a lot. Cheers!!!

I have d855 board, is it okay to use this solution? I've flashed all kind of roms still service disabled. Will it brick my device?

I think,that you can't use this method.If you flash D850 tot file for your D855 board ,your device will boot only in fastboot mode or it will be bricked .Try to restore a "qcn"from a working D855.

Programming modem with QPST/QXDM on Boost Desire 626S

Hello everyone. It's been heavily requested that I create a guide on how to program the values I provided in one of the posts on my previous boot image thread into the Boost Desire 626S modem so I decided to take the job into my own hands for your convenience.
First you will need QPST, QXDM, and the modem diag usb driver if it is not already installed on your computer. Here are the links:
QPST:
https://www.sendspace.com/filegroup/XynIcslf8H6Qm2TsJ5z4ZEocT85CdvbS
QXDM:
https://www.sendspace.com/filegroup/XynIcslf8H6Qm2TsJ5z4ZEocT85CdvbS
DIAG DRIVER:
https://www.sendspace.com/filegroup/XynIcslf8H6Qm2TsJ5z4ZEocT85CdvbS
1 --- INSTALLING SOFTWARE / DRIVERS
Run QPST.2.7.425 from the QPST folder in the QPST.zip archive and install it by clicking next through the dialog box at each step.
Run QXDMInstaller from the QXDM folder in the QXDM.zip archive and install it by clicking next at each step as well.
Run HTC CDMA LTE DIAG Modem Driver v3.0.2.0 from the inside the DIAGDRIVER.zip archive and you've got everything you need to now program the Boost Desire 626S modem.
2 --- SETTING UP USB DEBUGGING
---First you will need to enable usb debugging.
---Connect your Desire 626S to a usb port on your computer.
---Open the settings app and scroll to about and select it.
---Next, select software information then select more and tap on build number 7 times.
---This will enable access to Developer Options in the settings app.
---Tap back three times and you will now see developers options as selectable in the settings app.
---Tap on developer options and scroll down a bit to USB debugging option.
---Make sure it has a blue checkmark next to it so it is enabled.
3 --- SETTING UP DIAG USB ACCESS
---Now we will enable usb diag access to allow communications with QPST/QXDM.
---On your computer with the phone still connected, open a command prompt as administrator and type adb shell then hit enter.
---Or if you are using minimal adb and fastboot installation, open the shortcut for it as administrator and type adb shell then hit enter.
---On your phone, tick the box next to always allow and tap ok.
---You might have to type in adb shell again and hit enter.
---Do so and you will see [email protected]_a32ewhl:/ $ at the prompt which means you have shell access.
---Now we need root shell access.
---With the shell access, type in su and hit enter.
---Allow the root access for adb shell in the supersu prompt that pops up on your phone.
---You will now see [email protected]_a32ewhl:/ # in the command prompt window.
---Congrats you now have root access.
---With root shell access type this in and hit enter in the command prompt window:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_diag/func_en
---You might hear a ding and you have now enabled diag access to use QPST/QXDM in order to program the modem.
4 --- SETTING UP MODEM DIAG COMMUNICATION
---To open QXDM, click the orb in the bottom left hand corner to open the start menu and then click all programs.
---Scroll to QXDM Professional and click it and then click the next QXDM Professional shortcut under it.
---QXDM will now open so now it's time to access the diag port to the modem.
---Click on options in the bar towards the top of the window and then click on communications.
---Under target port, click on the box that says disconnect and click on the available COM port whether it might be COM1-5 then click ok.
5 --- PROGRAMMING MODEM NV ITEM VALUES
---Now we are down to the nitty gritty, actually programming the values for the bands in the modem. It is actually quite easy to do if you figure out what needs to be done.
---Click on the box next to view on the second bar down and click on the NV browser option to open it.
---In the NV browser window you will see some of the first typical NV items that might be included in a modem firmware but we are looking for the certain ones we want to edit to change bands and functionality.
---Left click the up and down arrows on the scroll bar and hold the left mouse button to slowly scroll from item value to item value if you need to, and slowly drag the knob on the scroll bar up and down if you require quicker navigation through the NV items.
---Once you reach an NV item you want to change, for instance, item 1877, click it and in the box under fields section you will see the input field used to change the following value field are both 0, followed by the respective nv items true name.
---To retrieve the content of each field for item 1877 or any nv item, click the read button in the bottom right hand side of the nv browser window, and you will be presented with the fields contents.
---For example NV item 1877 has a default value field content of 78135687 on my Boost Desire 626S so input field is also the same but this input field is what we change.
---Click the value under input once to select it then click it again and it will be editable with the caret blinking and 78135687 highlighted.
---Type in or copy and paste the value you wish to use for the value field in this input field once it is highlighted then hit enter on the keyboard and click write in the bottom right hand side of the window to make the new value stick.
---Congrats you have changed the value for an NV item.
---After writing new values, click offline in the bottom right hand side of the nv browser and wait 5 seconds.
---You will see the signal bar on your phone go blank.
---Click reset and the signal on your phone will be restored.
---Follow these last few steps when writing new values to ensure they stick.
---Reboot your phone and the values will stick.
6 --- GETTING MSL/SPC CODE FOR YOUR PHONE
---Scroll to item ID 00085 with description security code and click it to select it then click read in the bottom right hand side of the NV browser window
---In the input and value fields you will be presented with the MSL/SPC for your phone.
---Use this MSL/SPC code to program/edit the modem nv item values in EPST menus accessed by using ##3282# in the dialer.
---Also type in spc ****** in the text field in the command bar below the view bar in the QXDM window and hit enter, the six stars being the six digits of your MSL/SPC.
---Enter the MSL/SPC in the latter manner before writing new values to the modem for safe measure to ensure they stick.
---Quick note, enter *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer to open the testing menu, and tap phone information then scroll down to set preferred network type, and tap the down arrow to the right then scroll to and tap the network type you would like to use.
7 --- HERE ARE SOME RELEVANT NV ITEMS AND THE VALUES TO WRITE TO THEM....

I meant how do I use d softwares to edit LTE bands

Thanks a lot man. I've successfully programmed the values and although I have a Sprint version and the LTE bands are different in my country, I was able to get the values from NV calculator on play store. I've not had time to check if they work albeit I programmed 3g bands a while back and band 2100 which works in my country failed to work, I hope the LTE works. Thanks once again

You're Welcome

I've not had time to check if they work albeit I programmed 3g bands a while back and band 2100 which works in my country failed to work, I hope the LTE works. Thanks once again

Great work !!
Do you have any reference to other commands for switching the download / service modes?
To flash boot-loaders and such !!
I have the board support package for the msm8909 chipset and I am working on building the required programmers.
Just need to write my partition.xml ( I have the GPT info. )
My plan is to make a Qfil flashable Service Rom.

Update: Bands were successfully programmed as I stated earlier but sadly, they don't work. I just hope and pray someone somewhere is making a from scratch custom kernel for this device

@doyin116
Did that for Lollipop ( Completed ) For Marshmallow they didn't release the source yet.
I don't think it will be a problem to use the CAF source. ( Will Find out soon. )
Here is my kernel.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-626/development/kernel-wip-port-lollipop-5-1-source-t3470476
Here's my source.
https://github.com/Bigcountry907/kernel_htc_a32eul
I just synced the CAF Android 7.0 source.
It's gonna be a wile cause I been developing this by my self but it is in the works.
I have built the UBERTC cortex a9 toolchains and compiled the kernel inline with the recovery both in omnirom 6.0 and omnirom7.0.
Omnirom 7.0 uses Ninja for building. https://ninja-build.org/
I didn't know if this would cause a problem but it didn't. None I couldn't fix anyway.
So I have used the 5.1 kernel source and built it successfully in newer android versions.
It could be the combination of ninja and the UBERTC toolchain that make it work. IDK.
What do you need in the kernel? I might have it built.

Came across your kernel but from my understanding, it was meant for the METRO PCs version of 626s while mine is the Sprint version. I also tried to downgrade from marshmallow to lollipop but wasn't successful because it seemed the tutorial again was for METRO PCs. As to what I need in the kernel, I heard Qualcomm has an anti-tamper settings or so that prevents flashed bands from working but can be by passed by a built from scratch kernel.
My questions now are: can I flash your kernel on my 626s albeit the Sprint version and if yes, how do I downgrade to 5.1 on my Sprint version. If no, could you please create a custom kernel for the Sprint version? Thanks

@doyin116
I got my hands on a RUU for sprint lolipop.
I will upload when I get a chance.
Right now i'm in kernel mode so you might get lucky.
Hopefully I can add the sprint config to my tree and build it.
I'm trying that with the vzw 526. So if all goes well........
After I make recovery for 526 I will compile you a kernel.

I'm glad. Is there a time frame for all of this to be done?

I will upload this ruu tonight. Over the weekend I will put together the kernel over the weekend.
You will have to test it. I don't think I can flash sprint to my device. It's metro. But I am s-off.

@doyin116n116
Here is the 5.1 ruu for sprint.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8jitdIyh2NtUHQ2YWd5T2RCUFk
Download it and rename the file 0PM9IMG.zip.
See the downgrade post for metro pcs and edit the mainver in the misc partition as shown there.
You can just flash the misc.img that is posted on that thread.
Copy the 0PM9IMG.zip to your sdcard.
Boot the phone into download mode.
It will ask you if you want to install the ruu.
Hit the vol up key to install it.
If it reboots the first time back to download mode then hit vol up again.
It will flash for sure.
And don't worry.....it is easier to go back to MM than it is to go to LP.

@BigCountry907 I'm having issues flashing the misc.img. I flashed through adb fastboot flash misc.img and it said unknown partition 'misc.img' error: cannot determine image file name for 'misc.img'. I flashed through twrp and it said could not find meta-inf/com/Google/Android/update-binary in the zip file. Through adb I did adb push misc.img /sdcard/".
"adb shell"
"su"
"dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc" and it succeeded but when I flashed the 5.1 ruu it said ru_zip_error.
Could it be that the downgrading process is for metro PCs/ do I have to be unrooted or can I get detailed process of flashing it if I did it wrong. Alternatively, is there a tool I can use to access the misc.img partition and edit it myself?

I am creating a new how to thread.
We have got this thread way off topic.
The new thread is here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-626/general/how-to-downgrade-sprint-desire-626s-to-t3498653
Give me a little wile to write it up.
If a Moderator would like to move post #7 through post #17 to there that would be good.
How do we request a moderator to do that?

Old thread on old phone, I realize... but hoping someone might catch this & assist me. Having issues with gather SPC using QXDM 03.14.594 on 626s 0PM92 - Sprint MM ROM running on I-Wireless [T-Mobile].
While attempting READ on 00085, response is: "No DIAG response received".
Concerned about programming NV values in EPST w/o it. Any thoughts?
Update: After upgrading both qxdm/qpst, I'm getting a return on read from phone. Has it possibly been set as: 000000?

[GUIDE][SN_Writer]Restore IMEI, WiFi/Bluetooth Mac, Serial No.[Lenovo_K8_Note]

If you flashed the Stock ROM using “Download All + Format” option in SP Flash Tool or you wiped NVRAM partition accidently then you probably lost IMEIs, WiFi/Bluetooth Mac Address and Serial No.
Disclaimer:
Code:
/*
*Your Warranty is now void.
*Neither me nor the developers of tools are responsible.
*You are doing this at your own risk and will
*solely be responsible if something happens to the device.
*Make sure you only use the original “IMEI_1, IMEI_2,
*WiFi/Bluetooth Address, Serial Number” that came with your phone.
*/
Note:
Although, I have tried to keep this guide as simple as possible, I am assuming that you have already flashed Stock ROM using this thread/guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k8-note/how-to/lenovo-k8-note-xt1902-3-fix-dead-hard-t3791839
Which also means the required drivers i.e. “MTK (USB DA COM, Preloader USB VCOM, USB Port, USB VCOM) Driver” and “Lenovo USB Driver” in the thread mentioned above are also installed.
Requirements:
Lenovo K8 Note with Stock ROM.
Original IMEI_1, IMEI_2, WiFi/Bluetooth Mac Address, Serial Number. (Find on Phone’s box)
SN Write Tool (Download)
Database Files
ADB Tools (Inside SN_Write_Tool\Android)
Basic ADB know-how.
And a PC. (obviously)
USB Debugging:
Before we proceed, make sure “USB Debugging” is enabled on phone:
Navigate to, Settings > System > About Phone > Build Number (Tap 7 times) to enable “Developer Options”.
Now, Enable “USB Debugging” in Settings > System > Developer Options.
Flashing Procedure:
Extract SN Write. (For Example, Location: “E:\ SN_Write_Tool_v1.1916.00”)
Open SN Write Tool (SN_Writer.exe).
Make sure all the Preliminary steps mentioned in below sections have been performed – Obtaining DB files, Configuring SN Write Tool, Understanding Barcode.
Switch off the phone, while keeping the cable unplugged
Click “Start”.
Enter Original IMEI_1, IMEI_2, WiFi/Bluetooth Mac Address, Barcode and press “Ok”
Connect your phone.
Now your phone will automatically boot in Meta Mode.
Wait for the Process to finish.
Now you will see “Pass” message if everything completes successfully.
Now it will again ask to enter the details. Click “Cancel”
The phone will now switch off. Then boot it manually.
That’s it. Your phone is now back to normal. Now, you can see Serial No. in adb too.
Obtaining Database(DB) files:
In order to restore everything we need 2 Database files, which can be obtained by following the procedure below:
Extract SN_Write Tool. (For Example, Location: “E:\ SN_Write_Tool_v1.1916.00”)
Navigate to “Android” folder inside SN_Write_Tool folder.
Keep Shift Key Pressed and Right Click inside the folder. Select “Open Command / PowerShell window here”.
Type
Code:
adb devices
You will receive a prompt on your phone. Select “Ok”. The device will appear in the list. (Something like “0123456 device”)
Now, type these commands:
Code:
adb pull /vendor/etc/mddb Database
adb pull /system/etc/apdb Database
Now, navigate to “E:\ SN_Write_Tool_v1.1916.00\Android\Database”. There will be around 23 Files. We only Need 2 files from that.
APDB_MT6797_S01_alps-trunk-o0.tk_W19.10 (Approx. size 145kb)
MDDB_InfoCustomAppSrcP_MT6797_S00_MANNING_O_Vxx_x_ulwctg_n.EDB (Approx. size 59mb)
Note: Name and size may slightly vary depending upon your firmware.
Copy the above two files to some other destination (optional).
Note: If you are using PowerShell then, instead of “adb” type “./adb”
Configuring SN Writer Tool:
Open “SN_Writer.exe” inside “E:\ SN_Write_Tool_v1.1916.00”.
Now Click “System Config”.
Check “Dual IMEI” (Do not check “Dual IMEI Same” under that).
In Write options select Barcode, IMEI, BT Address, WiFi Address. (If you don’t have WiFi/BT Address then don’t check/select them).
Check “Load AP DP from DUT” and “Load Modem DB from DUT”.
Click “MD1_DB” and select the file that you pulled using ADB i.e.
“MDDB_InfoCustomAppSrcP_MT6797_S00_MANNING_O_Vxx_x_ulwctg_n.EDB”
Click “AP_DB” and select the file that you pulled using ADB i.e.
“APDB_MT6797_S01_alps-trunk-o0.tk_W19.10”
Now click “Save”.

​
Understanding Barcode:
It took me lots n lots of trial & error and googling before finding the correct (probably) Barcode format that we need to use in SN Writer. Trust me, it was not an easy task. Below are three iterations of barcode, use any:
First Iteration (recommended):
The Barcode field consists if two parts, call them Spaces and Serial No.​
​
Total Length(33 Characters) = (25 Spaces) + SN(8)​
​
For Example,​
If my SN written on the box is “XYZ1223W”, my barcode will be (without quotes):​
Code:
“ XYZ1223W”
​
​
or
Second Iteration (recommended 2):
In this iteration, we'll assume that the Barcode field in SN Write Tool is a combination of three parts. Lets call it First (PN), Second and Third Part (SN). You can find PN & SN on the box of phone. I am not sure about the second part with 15 characters. You can leave the second part, just give 15 Spaces.​
​
Total Length(33 Characters) = PN(10) + (15 Spaces) + SN(8)​
​
For Example,​
If my PN written on the box is “AB1D1112IN” and SN is “XYZ1223W”, my barcode will be (without quotes):​
Code:
“AB1D1112IN XYZ1223W”
​
or
Third Iteration:
There can also be a third iteration for barcode, though I am not sure about this and is completely based on my assumption. In the second part, as mentioned above we are leaving 15 spaces, but in this, we will use the product barcode of 13 characters (Refer Barcode No. 2 in the attached image below) instead of 15 spaces​
​
​
​
For Example,​
If my barcode (no. 2 in image above) of 13 charcters is “0123456789012”, then in SN Writer we will write (without quotes):​
​
Total Length(33 Characters) = PN(10) + (Space) + (13) + (Space)+ SN(8)​
​
Code:
“AB1D1112IN 0123456789012 XYZ1223W”
​
Note the space after each part, which makes up for two characters that we require.​
As you can see in the Screenshot attached in this post, “Lenovo Help” app recognizes the device as it is meant to be recognized.
​
WiFi/Bluetooth Mac Address:
Though, it is not a big deal if you lost WiFi/Bluetooth Mac Addresses. They will still work fine even without it.
If you didn’t backup nvram before or didn’t note down WiFi/Bluetooth Mac address then you can’t get it back. But, if you did TWRP backup of nvram then you can restore it and get back both the original Mac addresses.
FAQs:
SN Writer not booting phone into Meta Mode automatically.
Make sure drivers are installed ​
or​
Boot Manually in Meta Mode using Power Button + Volume Down. Check Already in Meta Mode.​
​
Do I need to be on Stock ROM?
Yes.​

Edit: Solved
Android will automatically generate Wi-Fi / Bluetooth address if not found. No need to worry about that. Thats why I I have mentioned in the post that it will still work fine even without it.

You mentioned wrong paths, /etc/apdb is fine but /etc/mddb doesn't exist(empty folder was created in latest update but still no contents in it). mddb is under /vendor/etc/mddb. Just to avoid confusion and even to make this guide suitable for users who pull the file from TWRP make the /etc/apdb to /system/etc/apdb

WP7 Barcode
Hi,
I was wondering how did you find the correct Barcode format? I have spent 2 days trying with different combinations and I still have not succeeded in restoring the serial number in my Oukitel WP7. It still gives me the generic serial number 123456789ABCDEF.

Did some Trial and Error to figure out correct (probably) barcode format. In addition to this, you'll also need specific database files for your phone in order restore it.

Man this thing is driving me crazy. I have tried every single combinations and did so many googling and there are not a lot of information about this. The other problem is that the Oukitel WP7 does not have a Product Number written on the box or on the back of the device, there is only a serial number and a barcode with 13 numbers under it. I even tried the FCC ID that is written at the top. I have been spending few days trying. I think the only way to know the correct format is to ask someone who has the same device to view it using Maui Meta by viewing the hex format or exporting the NVRAM to an ini file. I doubt anyone would help me with this though. I have the database files from the stock image. Anyways thanks man

That would be better.
There is no need for Part No. or Barcode (both can be replaced with spaces). The only thing required is Serial No.

I tried that as well with so many different ways and with spaces and without. I guess the length also matters. I even filled all 63 characters to see if anything changed in settings but it still showed the generic serial number. I am starting to wonder if sn tool is writing the data in the correct location. I am sure I am using the correct database files because I got them from the factory image from the official website and I am able to write the IMEIs correctly.
I am thinking now to go through the serial number which is 16 characters from left to right. Each time I add a space on the left and no spaces after the serial so first try would be only the serial then a 1 space before it then two spaces before it until I reach the 63 characters. This is like 50 restarts and if that does not work I will try in a same manner but this time full up spaces after the serial and do the same by adding one space on the left each time so first try would be the serial number and the remaining will be spaces up to 63 characters the second time will be one space before the serial and remaining spaces after it up to 63 and so one. I know it's crazy but if all that does not work I am not sure what else to do.

Hi
This happened to me with this dangerous spflash tool. WIPED everything. I followed this guide , It PASSES without any errors but doesnt write anything to my phone. Box has a code bar like this 6 970502 270581 then MEID code of 14 characters , than IMEI1 code and a IMEI2 code and finaly a S/N code of 15 characters.
As i said it PASS but doesnt show IMEI, version base band , bluetooth address, Serial number ,
Thank you very much spflash tool. Had to get another phone.
Phone is a MEDIATEK mt6763T.
Only thing that i dont understand from guide is how to enter Serial number in sn writer. Did it many ways. 33 characters and 64 characters with spaces.
If anyone has any idea , please show me the way. thx.
