Wait wait wait... The IMEI is gone?? how can the IMEI be gone? it is how the telecom directorate (Govt.) monitors each phone... thats the reason a couple of years ago all cellular devices without an IMEI (chinese imports mainly) stopped working (they could no longer make calls, but it could be used as a media player).

 

[Sagar Kapasi]

What You Did

How it didn't helped
Can you say something about it?

I accidentally restored the EFS partition from one Nexus 5 to another and ended up with an IMEI of all zeros. It can happen. I was able to repair it with Qualcomm software, but the phone still doesn't see the network. Possibly an antenna issue...

Anyway, it can definitely happen. Also, it is illegal to change your IMEI (in the US at least). I would think it's OK to repair one however. I think the OP should specify that this method should only be used to restore an IMEI to the numbers listed on the device. These can usually be found inside the back cover and on the SIM tray. Check documentation for your model.

Help Needed !! IMEI Fix for Android One not working for me...

I was using CM11 sprout earlier and tried moving back to Stock. I lost my IMEI during this time. I have moved to stock kitkat by doing scatter loading of stock firmware. I have rooted my Android one with CWM recovery. I have used the above tools and generated the MTB_001 and created a zip and installed it with recovery. But, still i have my IMEI as invalid. I even tried replacing the MTB_001 file manually using ES_File explorer and giving permissions 777. Still no luck.

Can someone help me out on how to load proper IMEI as am completely blocked :crying::crying::crying::crying:

Thanks in Advance.

Try to copy paste the IMEI file you just made manually to the directory which is in the main post. It works on my Sparkle V everytime(the copy-paste method).

sorry, but i couldn't backup the 5.1 stock nvram but i will send you nvram.img from stock kitkat ROM. Flash and redo the procedure from scratch...and tell your device model also..

 

[arshavin69]

First point to note is that only full formatting makes the device lose IMEI,not normal data,system,cache formatting which is required for installing custom roms.When your partition table is messed up you get lots of errors when trying to wipe or mount any partition from custom recoveries,thus leaving you with only option to format before flashing stock rom through sp flash tools.It is after this flash that nvram loses your unique IMEI number.In my case I had backed up my stock rom through cwm recovery,now to restore my IMEI, I just extract the contents of /data/nvram/.....NVD_IMEI from my backup( three files in total) and push it to my to the same directory using adb push command,and it works for me.There is no need to push three cos only one file is relevant .But this is only temporary solution,cos after every reset you will lose your IMEI. It is better to backup the nvram partiton using dd command so that it could be flashed later,which would persist through installs.
