But in fact you need your Backup_0 file to complete process, My files i removed because it won't help with your serial number ,
Anyways you can contact me at Hangouts i will try to help

Guys i am clearly mentioning here, if you have no Backup_0 or ROM_0 from your original firmware,
Please contact Nokia Care,
I have no solution for this...
Helping people is becoming my Headache...
Because people miss using my files...

Apologize for no support if you have No back up.

    Nokia X5 to 5.1 Plus convert Guide Link: https://xdaforums.com/nokia-x5/how-to/guide-how-to-convert-nokia-x5-to-global-t3858253

    Note: The only thing i want to tell you that if you followed the guide in Link above of converting Nokia X5 to 5.1 Plus, than you must have a file from step 1 that is Backup_0, and that file is the only hope to save your device Base band/IEMEI/Serial Number.
    So keep in mind please always read follow step 1 and backup your current firmware that have very important partitions, and can save your bricked Nokia X5 device:

    I will try my bests to make the guide as simple as i can:

    So let' Start:
    First of all What you need before starting the process to restore Base Band/IEMI/Serial Number

    Thanks, I'm currently busy due to a deadline breathing down my neck, so I won't be able to try it right now. I'll be sure to report on how it goes when I do.



    On a side note, the serial number is something that has confused me for years, some people use it as a synonym for IMEI, while others don't. So do I use my IMEI or do I go back to trying to find my serial which I can't actually find on the box...
    Have good rest,
    And you need serial number for sure to generate Md5 Checksum, that is must

    This group is for multiple devices ROMs, Debrick Help and many more

    Tip-1: To generate your Md5 Checksum you can read the serial number at your box, or back of your phone and enter manually to generate Md5 Checksum.

    Tip-2: If somehow your phone is off from long time please turn it on and then power off before flashing nvram. Or may be in Windows-10 it will not be recognized

    Tip-3: It's much better to use Windows-7 to do this process because installation of drivers is typical and sometimes SP Flash tool stop responding suddenly.

    Okay, I'm ready to be called a complete moron, but I want to check before I give up.

    Due to an unfortunate series of events, the original backup I had is gone. I do know the original IMEI and I think I know the original serial number. So, is it possible to manually change it in the backup that was made after I lost them?

    Side note, where exactly is the serial number on the box, since I couldn't find it there?
    You can use my backup, may be it works for you, because you need 4 important files from backup..

    I will upload link of my backup files, those only required to restore baseband/imei/serial, in Post#1, i think it will work because all Nokia x5 have same baseband
