I WHOLE formatted my Cherry Mobile Fuze Q390 (MT6582) with SP Flash Tool. Then I flashed the official firmware of this device with SP Flash Tool. I don't have any backups because I am reverting to stock. Now the phone works fine but it does NOT detect the SIM card. Also, the IMEI is shown as "INVALID" for both SIM slots when I input *#06#. When I try to fix IMEI from MTK Droid Tools it shows (ERROR : pttycmd1 device NOT found!). Also, MTK Droid Tools shows (Baseband V -----). I am sure the problem is that when I formatted the phone it wiped the NVRAM region too. So the device has no baseband or radio files right not and also the data/nvram/md folder has nothing in it. Although, WiFI still works perfectly except the annoying NVRAM Warning that I kept on seeing when ever that I wanted to connect to a network. Now the official firmware of Cherry Mobile Fuze Q390 does not contain any nvram.bin file. It does contain the BPLGU file but I can't seem to modify IMEI with SN Write Station, Maui META 3G, IMEI&SN Writer V1.5.3 and etc. I tried using the MTK Engineering mode mode also and tried to write it using the AT+ code but it keeps on saying failed to send command. Probably the SN Write Station, Maui META 3G, IMEI&SN Writer V1.5.3 and etc. only modify the IMEI when the baseband or radio files are already present on the phone. So I think the only way out for me is to flash a nvram.bin using SP Flash Tool or Flash nvram.bin+nvram.tar to MTK Droid Tools which I don't have. Any ideas whether I am on the track or not? If I am, then how can I get the IMEI back on my phone. As you people can see that I have tried a lot of things, so please suggest/advice accordingly and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try using another phone's nvram.bin, which is illegal and modify the IMEI with SN Write Station or any other tools to correspond with that of your phone.

1. check your baseband with mtkdroidtool if it null,you just only use flashtool format it (whole flash) and up rom again,your baseband will return,imei still null.Now you can use mtkdroidtool to re-write your imei,or use Imei & SN writer tool for hard imei.
2.if you still have baseband,just can not write imei throw mtkdroidtool -> just use Imei & SN writer,please install full driver for your mtk devices, include cdc driver

I've tried all the other software like the IMEInSe writer, the MauiMeta 3g, MTK droid tools... none of them worked. But the method mentioned above worked for me.... now there wasn't any NVRAM error in the wireless notification.... The simcard can register to the network as well... this is flawless...
just to share... CPU version showed by the software was MT6572, but if i boot it in factory mode, it tells me its MT6589... I do not know which one is the right one, but the above methods worked for me.... Samsung S4 Korean (clone 1:1) mediatek. running JB Android 4.2.2..
Thanks...:good::good::good:

Is it worked for any one...If yes I would like to try it once coz every time I install new ROM my imei will be lost, since I have backup of IMEI every time I need to restore this backup file from Mobile uncle tool. Which is annoying process after every new ROM installation.

One week after i brought my phone, I accidently formatted my device using sp flash tools and lost the IMEI/NVRAM. It has been a real pain for me to repair it because i was new to an mtk device. Finally figured out how to repair by doing many search. So I made this thread to share the working methods to help those people who are suffering from invalid IMEI
So let's start.
Always remember "Prevention is better than cure". If you are planning to flash a custom rom, First of all Backup your IMEI. Don't Trust that a custom ROM flash will not delete your IMEI number. because odds are it will. It's important to store your backup to external SD because some ROM flashing techniques will erase your internal SD. so the best way to keep your IMEI number is to take my advise and make a backup.
Some Video tutorials will be added soon
DISCLAIMER: Do not do try any of these methods unless your IMEI has been lost! Doing so may permanently corrupt your imei partition.

I tried this method but every time I tried, I was getting "Entre Meta Mode Failed" I am unable to understand why my device is not going into meta mode. I have written IMEIs and MAC IDs with this tool on Canvas HD, hell lot of time.
The process for Canvas HD is little different, I used to select both the database files, first "BPLGUInfoCustomAppSrcP_MT6589_S00_MOLY_WR8_W1248_MD_WG_MP_V6_P18" and then this one "APDB_MT6589_S01_MAIN2.1_W10.24" secondly I used to power on my device "Power On" msg was displayed on SN Write Tool.
I tried all possible scenario, selected only one database file, changed the sequence of selecting database files, tried to turn it off after hitting start but worked nothing for me.
When we select Database files the window opens twice, did you select same file both the times? And have you tried to write all the things together, means IMEIs, MAC ID of BT and MAC ID of Wifi in just one go?

Yes i select same file for twice name of file is given above in my post and i never try to write other things like bt address, imei same time but i want to say don't try to write bt address because it will show error every time when you try to write and i also want to say that imei number can be written with this tool but select only imei don't other things like sn number, wifi mac address.......etc. try one thing only at same time. means when you want to write imei then select only imei but you can choose sn and wifi mac address at same time it can be flashed successfully......

Bro thanks for helping me. I hv one last question i hv nv ram.bin file of my stock rom ok but when i load scatter file in sp flash tool there is no option to flash nvram.bin if u try figure it out i will appreciate.
Usually Invalid IMEI error occurs after you flash your MediaTek device. No need to worry as there is a simple fix for this issue. No need of root privileges on either method.
Method 1: (Works even if your phone a single error of Invalid IMEI or both if you have a dual sim)
1. Open dialpad and input *#06# (If a single sim is working you can see an IMEI and another is invalid, you can find invalid IMEI under battery of your phone)
2. Copy IMEI number.
3. If no sim is working you can find those numbers just below your phone battery.
4. Open mobile uncle, click engineer mode and chose android or mtk.
5. Go to connectivity, CDS Information, then radio information and chose the sim that isn't working, either one or two.
6. For sim 1 press phone 1, Click on AT+ on the top and type these AT+EGMR=1,7,"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"..... Here "XX.....X" is your IMEI number. Type it (make sure its in quotes). Now click send then reboot.
7. If invalid sim is sim 2 then click phone 2 and type AT+EGMR=1,10,"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" , click send then reboot.
Method 2:
Dial “* # * # 3646633 # * # * 2- then follow that path –> CDS info –> Radio info –> Phone1 (for the first imei) 3- at the top there is a command line which begins “AT+” just type there “AT +EGMR=1,7,”IMEI_1? (instead of IMEI_1 put your first imei number) 4- hit send command 5-if you done just reboot the phone, if you change the second imei go to step 2 and select “Phone2? 6-and enter the code “AT +EGMR=1,10,”IMEI_2? (instead of IMEI_2 put your second imei number) hit send command 7-reboot 8-Dail ” *#06#” Check Imei(onlyshow the first one)

IMEI invalid in CCIT S8 pro
I have a CCIT S8 pro chinese phone. which i have flashed two weeks later but now the problem is phones imei is showing invalid what should i do plz help me. Thanks in advance. Plz help.
Thanks this helped me to restore the imei on my phone
Cds information didn't occur
I've got info for first time: "This command is not allowed in UserBuild" because my ERGO A500 add by himself this AT+ command without space
Then I made some research and it's important to add SPACE between AT and + so it must be AT + not just AT+ like exactly like @subodhpoudyal wrote above

The best tool for fixing Invalid IMEI in MTK devices is Maui META. Google it.
When it is installed connect your device (make sure you have the correct USB drivers and debugging enabled in developer options)
The tool works on your phone whilst the device is in META mode.
There are many guides online on how to use it,
It works better than anything else and it is incredibly user friendly,
Rumble_Fish
The Engineering mode method doesn't work on all phones. Tools like SN Writer, Maui Meta and hardware boxes / dongles (e.g Infinity CM2, Miracle box, NCK box etc) would prove more reliable. You can read up mod edit - blog links removed for many other methods

Hi guys,
Note: I am not responsible to the brick device if you will not follow the guide step by step, this is very important to do each and every step, never think to skip any step or may be you will have a total loss, but this guide is tested and working for those who accidentally selected (format + download) while converting from X5 to 5.1 or while re-flashing.
Nokia X5 to 5.1 Plus convert Guide Link: https://forum.xda-developers.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:
BTW I HAVE UPLOADED REQUIRE FILES FROM MY BACKUP HERE BELOW ON REQUEST BECAUSE EVERYONE MAY NOT HAVE PREVIOUS BACKUP, BECAUSE BASE BAND FILES FOR NOKIA X5 ARE SAME FOR ALL PHONES
At Special Request:
I Have added a link required files from my backup here, you can use these if you did not made the backup:
If you are using windows-10 than please follow this guide to disable drivers Signature Verification or your will be unable to connect phone in fastboot mode, you will hear sound connect/disconnect again and again if Driver signature Verification will be enabled in Win-10,
Link Guide: https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/ho...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
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
1: SP flash tool: please download latest version from this Link: https://spflashtool.com/download/
2: 7-zip: Please download 7-zip from the link: https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

5: Adb Platform tools : Please download from this Link: https://mega.nz/#!4rR0AAZI!N3l0FuPDrtej2GwU4VXmehBbLs2TvIlADYXcQv_Nf1Q
That's all, now please create a folder Nokia X5 in any PC disk and please copy all above files there this i am only guiding that you can open everything from one folder, not to move in multiple folders.
Now we are starting the to Restore Base Band/IEMI/Serial Number: (Follow each step carefully)
1: Extract downloaded firmware (PDA-1100-0-00WW-B01_unpacked.7z) in same Nokia X5 folder.
2: Go to Extracted folder and make a copy of " MT6771_Android_scatter.txt" separately and rename it to "proinfo_MT6771_Android_scatter.txt" (make sure do not write .txt because obviously this is .txt file.)

Reserved and Tips:
You can also contact us at https://t.me/VictaraUni
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

Please follow each and every step strictly and all now you have to do is use your own 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...

I'm pretty sure it's obvious at this point that I'm not the type of person that should have messed with this, so final question. Is the serial number the last 6 digits of the IMEI, without the check digit?
(I'm really sorry if I'm being a pain)

No man, serial number is different and will be different , and starts with PDA , if you are unable to find the serial number and you know the IMEI, there are many websites can search serial number from IMEI, you can ask help.
great, you saved me, thanks
@zahidm Thanks very much, your post was very helpful, restored my imei

I tried but when I try to flash nvram it fails and say the target device is locked, I tried unlocking bootloader but it also fails whenever I entered the command, initially it tells me that unlocking bootloader is not allowed so I turned OEM unlocking on from developer options but now if I enter the command it fails and say unknown command, please I don't know what else to do I can't make calls with the phone because the IMEI is missing
