It was long before I have rooted my mobile and flashed various KDZ through flash tool and flashed many custom roms. Some how my IMEI has changed long before itself, but I didn't cared much of it since everything was ok. But now I just wondering if there is any way to restore my original IMEI.

There was guide for restoring IMEI after brick by @neutrondev that was only for SINGLE SIM version, Can anyone help to Restore IMEI of DUEL SIM version of L7 II or Anyone have duel_sim.qcn file? :rolleyes:

Same here, bro! But I insuccessfully managed to restore atleast one of the IMEI. ( "15digit-number"00)
Having 2 zeros at the end. And 2nd showing 00.

I think there might be one on 4PDA, but I couldn't find it. You may ask @neutrondev, he quit deving for L7II but not left XDA. He might be able to create a imei_dual.qcn

Anyone tried the Partitions Backup app from Google Play store.

For more info, go here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-x2/general/fix-modify-nulled-imeis-news-nokia-x2-t3004425

Anyone with 2 good working correct IMEI's pls provide a backup.
Experts may analyze and edit the partition (hex) to create a imei_dual.qcn.

TOOLS:
- symbuzzer_adb : link below
- Nokia X2 tool :http://allnokia.ru/soft/moreinfo-115.htm
- IMEI to hex converter :http://www.androidbrick.com/download/imei-converter/
- QPST :http://www.androidbrick.com/download/qpst-2-7-411/ (we already have this)
- QPST Universal Naked Driver :http://www.androidbrick.com/?wpdmdl=2603

Follow this method to restore the original IMEI of P715

Before starting note down both the IMEI of your phone from the box or backside of your phone. Make sure you have turned on USB DEBUGGING, Drivers installed and Having Stock Firmware which is Rooted.

6) After phone gets reboot, Connect Phone to PC and select USB Tethering(No need to share net. Just keep it without pressing cancel or ok)

7) Open QPST Configuration and add new port, Uncheck Show Serial and USB and Select the "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port" click on Ok.

8) Open QPST Software Download, goto "Restore" tab. Check if the port has Detected the device, Browse QCN File that we saved before on step 4. Check "Allow phone/file ESN mismatch and Click "Start" to begin flash.

@santoosh Working correctly. Restores both IMEIs. But both of them showing two zeros at the end. Is this normal?

I have jb 4.1.2 v10j firmware. I am using jellykernel on my p715 (it is made for p710, which is not not dual sim).

@XDA-00 It worked correctly on jb for me, showed correct imei. Now I flashed KK firmware and im too having same issue with ending 00. But the network provider detects the correct imei, when i checked phone information by dialing*#*#4636#*#* there the imei was perfect. It only shows wrongly, Ill look into it to correct this.

OK! M8. So now we can backup IMEI Partition with @neutrondev 's TWRP.
If we mess up our IMEI's we can simply restore it with TWRP. (thanks @neutrondev)

Two 0s after IMEI number gone! :D

I flashed CM13 after wiping everything (except extsd ofcourse ) and its showing correct IMEI , *#06#.
