My ZTE-BLADE got bricked a few months ago, IMEI-code got resetted and I need some help to restore it.
So, if you have a good advice wouldn't hurt for telling it.
But if doesn't have anything but mocking just keep it by yourself.
There is a thread on modaco on how to fix this. I can't remember the link, but if you search in the Blade section there you should find it.
I think its in this link http://android.modaco.com/topic/343587-guide-de-bricking-a-zte-blade/
Method 4 on that page unless I'm mistaken.

the link thatwas posted above this post is good to use but use this method "Method 5: The dodgy ZTE firmware flasher" you will reset your imei number then change it again to the correct number by using hex editors it is easy to understand and follow since good and clear instructions were given if you need any help let me know
this might be of some help

Hi guys.
Since none of the instruction don't work to unlocking my GT-I9500 I decided to go by unlocking by IMEI. Now, I would like to ask to those already have done by this method. What website did you trust to do it like this?
I just want to know which one really works and which one don't.
Thank you guys. I will appreciate your answer and help.
already done
I did it already. I would like to share were I did it because im sure there are people trying and looking to unlock their device by imei. I did it thru cellunloker. I found this one and because their review on google I give a try and ended really good. Hopefully this will help somebody else. Sorry if im doing any kind of spam. Im not trying to do that, just share the way I did expecting to help somebody in the same position I was.
Have a good day/night guys
Total noob, so any and all help very much appreciated. I had an issue with my phone not booting, so after lots of tricks and tips I was still stuck in a bootloop. I ended up finding an image and followed the instructions and voila my phone boots, all be it wiped and needing all apps and such installed. However I soon realized my phone is no longer unlocked. so now I cant use my Straight talk sim card. I need help ASAP if possible and more than willing to compensate anyone who can help me get my phone and txt messaging working again. Im pretty versed in PC stuff, as I work in IT, but I have never done any phone moding or flashing until now, so detailed explanations would be great, or if needed we can link up using a remote software program or FB. Thanks!

Correct me if I'm wrong your looking for a way to unlock from carrier not bootloader.... If that is the case look here (can't tell you if it works big red is the only one that seems to work where I spend most of my time)

I wish I could explain to somone over the phone what is going on, but have no resources to contact for this kind of help. I did to the process listed in the link: Tutorial] Unlock ALL bands on xt907 (moto_msm8960) with no success. I will check out the other post and see if I get any further. Any assistance or help you may know of is much appreciated. Im hoping to transfer my phone to temporary straight talk phone until this is fixed, just hope I dont have to send it off to someone.
Edit....Ok my device is rooted (dont know for sure but I have super user installed (full version of SU)) and I can play apps that are not Google approved. I tried the Motopocalypse and cant get any further. Does it matter what version of Android i have? currently this phone is on 4.4.2 BUT I dont really care if it stays on that version...Do I /Can I go back to the 4.1 version I had before? I believe it was the stock version of the phone's android system by not positive as i bought this phone unlocked. I would contact the seller but they have disappeared from ebay.

Flashing Firmware via Fastboot
You mentioned you are stucked at the initial setup screen. This implies that you need to reflash the stock ROM. Please visit this link to read my post containing instructables to successfully flash stock ROM.
Q. Can I unlock bootloader?
No. As of KDA 20.62 15.1 update, the Trust Zone vulnerability has been fixed which allowed exploit to work.
Q. Can I root?
Yes! Head to this thread to root (install SU) on your RAZR.
Q. Can I downgrade?
Unfortunately no! You are stucked permanently with the Kitkat flavour.
US GSM Carrier Unlock
The method is fairly long but easy. Head to the thread here to unlock US GSM carriers which will allow you use Straight Talk.

Actually it's not that simple...
You don't get to come here and ask for all of the work to be done for you. Otherwise it happens like with the Galaxy Grand 2, where the phone had a very good dev community but noobs with no interest on spending some time just ruined it to the point that literally only a couple of devs stayed and released CM14.
Also if you ask for someone to send you the exact guides that you need, you'll probably not read anything, and you'll get a beautiful DFU brick...
Do this: First do your homework. Memorize the model on the back of your phone, see if the software model matches the one on the back. As a tip, there are 3 models, the A2017, the A2017G and the A2017U. If you use a file that's not for your model you can start saying goodbye to your brick, or else you'll probably be days trying to fix it (or months like some people). Look at the problems that may come up when rooting and see the way to avoid those. Then look for a guide that suits your model. Download all the files, ensure that all of them work (you'll need Windows on a 64-bit PC), and THEN proceed.
If you have any doubts you can PM me or maybe the maker of the guide, but at least try to do something for yourself! I read more than 10 pages on the guide that I used just to see the problems that may arise and stuff like that. You also should be able to do that. And if you aren't, it's best that you don't try. This is not a Nexus device for you to write 'fastboot oem unlock' and basically finish unlocking the bootloader, this is MUCH more serious...
Use my toolkit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/tool-axon7toolkit-t3573108
No need for any guides
Just make sure you read all the main posts as there a couple snags
Hi, I have a p9 lite VNS-L31 european version. It has nasty vodafone branding that I want to get rid of. I have tried the metods suggested in other threads here where you copy update.app into a folder called dload on an sd card and restart the phone holding down the two buttons on the side, but all I get is it fail repeatedly at 5%.
I have read around threads but I am none the wiser. Any advice would be appreciated before I throw this thing out of the window because this crappy vodafone rom is going to die one way or another.
Thanks
im on same situation.. the only thing i can flash is c432b160 from huawei site and i can flash only via fastboot
if i flash with same method the new rom 5.0 it will hang on boot up
Sorry to hear Sergio. It looks like this has been done deliberately which makes me super mad. I have tried ADB and fastboot and it still will not let me do it.
Would rooting help to get rid of this crap on our phones?

root? how do you think root will help? and who deliberately made this? i never thought that, but now you said that...

@ba_baracuss @sergio_f
Hey guys i think you are saying two different things...
About @ba_baracuss i suggest you to rebrand your firmware from your ( C02/vodafone ) to C432 ( european general ) firmware.
To do this you need your bootloader unlocking number first....
If you are on a marshmallow firmware use K1ll3r8e toolkit
If are on nougat firmware you can use HWOTA like explained in this thread.
@sergio_f i think you already tried everything, really don't know how you will get rid of this.
Maybe you could try to update first to B170 using DLOAD method then see if OTA offer you NOUGAT updates...
All the best guys

Sorry dude i had a false memory..
I checked for it too and it doesn't exist... I was asking if you had even B160 firmware.
Is your device a dual sim one ? Have you rooted and / or flashed custom recovery ?
If not maybe could be helpful make a rollback to your first firmware ( ex. B150 ) or reflash B160 again, but i'm not really sure....
Brick is behind the corner, proceed with caution..
Thanks for your reply @Dadditz. Unfortunately I can't solve it yet.
You said I need bootloader unlocking number first - I do not have it. I have tried that before, going to huawei site and putting in various phone info. At the end it gives a dead webpage, with no unlocking number.
I am on nougat and so followed your link and have downloaded the HWOTA as directed, copied to memory card, then when I enter recovery by holding down the buttons on the side, it does a factory recovery and I still have the vodafone branding.
I don't get what he does in the youtube video at all. I just get EMUI recovery and back to vodafone.
Where am I going wrong? Is it because I need the unlocking number? If so how can I get it when the huawei page doesn't work?
Thanks for your help so far, it is appreciated.

Hi,
unfortunately you cannot rebrand without unlocking you bootloader first and flashing a custom recovery...
This is very well explained on the threads i linked you my friend....
If sergio_f cannot help you ( grab the unlocking bootloader number ), maybe with DC-Phoenix, paying some euro/dollar/yen you could do this...
Do some search about...
P.S.: read carefully the guides when you find one... ( at least twice )
@sergio_f
really don't know dude, if OTA stock doesn't work, try with HISUITE, i don't know if dc-phoenix could help.
Under your responsability you could try to follow some guides about rollback or rebrand ( to your actual CUST C432 ),
reflashing then your actual firmware....
I know it's a s***ty standby, but only you can choose.
All the best guys :angel:

Thanks for the reply. I have done lots of searching and downloading for days to the point where I will soon smash the phone with a hammer.
I have tried dc unlocker and it says this:
Reading bootloader code...
No username !
I don't know what that means. Is it because you have to pay to use it and get a username or something?

Hello,
yes like i told this is a paid program. I never used it but I think it's not hard to get work done...
The site provides tutorials on how to read the bootloader code... here
and how to unlock it... here, and a lot of tutorials are present here on XDA too, just search...
Delete ( eventually ) registered firgerprints, enable USB-DEBUGGING and OEM-UNLOCK to proceed...
Usually somethings missed so it's very important to read the guides at least a couple of times.
Best regards

Thanks Dadditz. I have now got a bootloader code, but cannot enter it.
I have tried the guide on the dc unlocker link and also found one here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701 using SRK tool, but neither can detect the phone.
The droidth SRK tool sticks at 'waiting for device'.
I have enabled USB debugging and OEM unlock, but it still doesn't work.
I will keep trying but if anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated.
Oh, and I have tried asking on dc-unlocker forum but my post does not appear. I am guessing they block new members posts until admins enable it or some bull****.
