I've updated my Asus P320 and everything seemed to be fine.Than a day suddenly I can't make or receive any calls.
ctiruvuru got the same problem, "the internal speaker, speakerphone or headset does not work while making a call - I can't hear the other person but they can hear me fine. Also, when I receive a call and after I answer it, there is a delay of 3-4 seconds before it's actually answered. The headset and speakerphone work fine if I use media player etc."

The IMEI number had changed into 004400003501112. I tried flashing all the rom I've found but the problem still remains.

Does anybody know how to solve this?

You should go to the service.The same came to me.
No other choice.
I would warn other people here again.
When you install this hdubli wm 6.5 rom IMEI is zero and recycling impossible!!!

I've tried firmwares
P320_V4_15_0_V4_10_V1_18_0_ITA,
P320_V4100_V49_V1220_ITATIM.ZIP,
P320_V4100_V49_V160_WWE,
hdubli 21501.5.0.70,
still no luck.
Is it possible that there is no way to change manually the IMEI code?

Thanks rammkorn, for posting this in a separate thread.

hdubli, I really liked your WM 6.5 build 21501.5 except for the IMEI (or bt address) problem. Waiting for your upload of 4.5 version 6.1 ROM.

Thanks.

I have looked into the problem.The mapping of imei and bt mac is related to the size of flash.bin.If the size of flash.bin is lower say around 48 mb, then by flashing it, it doesn't overwrite the area on One nand where imei and btmac are stored.
secondly, if the xip version of flash.bin is same as the ROM version For Ex if your ROM version is 4.15 and the xip used is from version 4.15, the imei and btmac r not lost, no matter how big is the size of flash.bin.

So, it is mandatory to all to upgrade to the latest version of ROM and then upgrade to 6.5
I will change xip of my ROms now onwards.

For those who have lost imei, pls bear, am still looking a way to restore.

If you have backup try extracting gsmParam.cfg to /windows and softreset a phone.
I had a same problem when flashing to 3rd party rom with gsm.bin.

I don't have a backup unfortunately I never imagined updating firmware would have these problems.

What parameters are there in gsmParam.cfg? Did you manage to resolve the problem?

the hdubli firmwares are based on the 4.5. So I used this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=498767. But I was able to restore my IMEI after replacing my gsmParam.cfg with a backup.

Thanks rammkorn for the link. Did restoring gsmparam.cfg fix the internal speaker issue as well? Is it possible to modify gsmparam.cfg to restore a specific IMEI? Can you please share your copy of the file?

Thanks.
