• If you are experiencing issues logging in, we moved to a new and more secure software and older account passwords were not able to be migrated. We recommend trying to reset your password, then contacting us if there are issues.
  • Nearly done! Migration cleanup is mostly done. There are a small number of issues left that we continue to work on, but all the heavy lifting is done. We still would love to hear feedback over at this thread and also check out the new XDA app! Thanks and we hope you enjoy the new forums, and thanks for your support of XDA <3

4 Methods on How to Backup your IMEI

How to back up your IMEI

This is the most important things to do before flashing any rom or apps is to backup your imei.
After flashing ROMs or installing updates, it is possible that the phone will get an invalid IMEI or unknown baseband. Invalid IMEI would mean no mobile network connections.
Every mobile phone, GSM modem or device with a built-in phone / modem has a unique 15 digit IMEI number. I have 4 methods to back up your IMEI.




Method 1: Using mtkdroid tools

Requirements:
PC/LAPTOP
USB CABLE
ROOTED PHONE
DRIVER
mtkdroidtools.rar


Set your phone in USB debugging mode, then connect via USB cable.

Open mtkdroid tools

Click IMEI/NVRAM





Then navigate to Backup

This backup will save in your mtkdroid tools backup folder.




Method 2: Using MobileUncle Tools
Requirements:
ROOTED PHONE
mobileuncle.toolbox.apk

Open and install mobile uncle tools then navigate to backup imei. That's it!





Method 3: Using Rootexplorer
ROOTED PHONE
Rootexplorer.apk

Install and open Rootexplorer

Go to Root Folder


Navigate to data/nvram. Save this nvram folder in your sdcard.




Method 4: Using Carliv Touch Recovery 2.7 and 3.0
ROOTED PHONE
CTR 2.7 or 3.0

Flash this CTR 2.7/3.0 then go to recovery mode
Click carliv menu
Navigate to NVRAM
Choose Nvram backup

This nvram will save in clockworkmod/backup/nvram folder
Nowadays there's update in some custom recovery like twrp, philztouch and ctr that has nvram backup and restore menu. You can backup this nvram/imei by means of this custom recovery.

IF ALL THE ABOVE METHOD FAILS TELL ME ILL PROVIDE U A SOLID SOLUTION
