Need a solution badly.."Invalid ID:Device ID must be a valid IMEI or MAC address."

"Invalid ID:

Device ID must be a valid IMEI or MAC address. Without device ID, some Mi Account and Cloud features won't be available."
then it goes for checking device status
Followed by this error:
Couldn't check the Find device status.



What l had done.
A month ago my mi3 started showing "insert sim card" though there was already one in the mobile, i thought that this because of newly "weekly update" but after next update it didn't solved, so i searched for the problem on google and this forum and i found that this problem is hardware one. So i went to the expert, he checked and said that the sim tray is running fine. Then again i waited for an update and it arrived but then again it didn't solved.


Finally i applied "Wipe & Reset" and came the disaster, miui 8 started in fashion but while i was in some elementary steps of selecting language and country I was encountered with this error--


"Invalid ID:

Device ID must be a valid IMEI or MAC address. Without device ID, some Mi Account and Cloud features won't be available."


and I finally stopped at MIUI ACCOUNT Details form.
Followed by this error:
Couldn't check the Find device status.
I reset it several times but the outcome is nil.
I even tried Flashing using Mi pc suite with "miui V7.5.6.0.MXDCNDE" it does nothing and repeated again and again except changing miui 8 (6.7) developer to miui 7.5 stable.

I have no EFS saved

Current status.
phone not opening competely, no debugging option on, no root access.


Is there anyone who can help and guide me.

If you have not tried fastboot, then give it a try. And after it boots try to skip all the MI authentication steps. I think Mi framework is checking something and then giving you error.

Try flashing an old backup. I had the same issue but on pa 6.0(unofficial) or flash a cm rom and see if the problem exists.
