[Q] Zte v987 bricked, how to fix. - General Questions and Answers

First of all, hello.
Second, let me explain the problem:
I accidentally soft - bricked my ZTE V987.
That would not be a problem if I didn't also lose my ROM backup.:crying:
What I did so far while trying to fix it:
1. Tried to re - install Bruno's CWM recovery through SP flash tool - was unable to. SP flash tool enable dram fail error.
2. Found out I needed a preloader.bin, found one that worked (have found few preloader.bin files for v987 but all failed to flash except one) - flashed that.
3. Tried Cwm again - success.
4. Instaled Bruno's 3.0 mod rom through CWM, success, but lost Baseband, IMEI, Serial Number, BT and WIFI MAC Address.
5. Tried installing zte v987 china stock 1.0.1 rom through cwm - success, have baseband, but no IMEI, no Serial Number, BT and WIFI MAC Address.
6. Found about sn write tool, used it to restore IMEI and WIFI MAC address - success, BT & SN - fail: SN says it is written yet it is always displayed as 0123456789ABCDEF, but BT MAC sn write tool always fails with BT DB write fail error.
So, from what I managed to figure out, I need either a full ROM Dump from a working ZTE 987, and a way to insert all these numbers back in, or any other way to fix my phone.
To anyone willing to help, thanks in advance, and if this thread is in wrong subforum I am very sorry.

V987 IMEI invalid
I have a very similar problem; V987 showing invalid IMEI numbers but WiFi, BT etc all working. SN shown as 123456789ABCDEF. Phone does not recognise the Engineering mode code or offer an option to enter it via Gravity box. I can't get the IMEI & SN Writer tool to recognise the phone.
I have another V987 with stock ROM - does anybody know how to dump the ROM so I can copy it to my other phone?
(The links to the stock ROM on Bruno's thread do not work)
Edit: Problem solved! I used MTK tools to make a NVRAM dump of the stock ROM then the Flash tool to copy the ROM to my old phone. The strange thing is that the phone remembered the correct IMEI and SN numbers. I now have two fully working V987's!

Hello! I have a question! How did you complete step 2? I still have my V987 bricked and I can't seem to find an appropriate preloader.bin to wake it up again. I know I'm not exactly helping you, but I would be so grateful if you can help me out with that! I have less than 5 hours with this new ZTE and I already messed it up

[MT6572 Primo F2] SIM not detected, pttycmd1 not found, NVRAM empty

I 'whole formatted' my MT6572 based Walton Primo F2 phone with SP Flash Tool.
Then I flashed the official firmware of this phone with SP Flash Tool.
Now the phone works fine but it does not detect SIM.
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 phone has no baseband or radio files right now.
Although, WiFi still works perfectly.
Now the official firmware of Primo F2 does not contain any nvram.bin file.
It does contain a BPLGU file but I can't seem to modify IMEI with SN Write Station or Maui META etc.
Probably SN Write Station and Maui META etc. only modify IMEI when 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 with SP Flash Tool.
Any ideas whether I am on the right track or not?
If I am, then how can I get nvram.bin file for my phone?
Can it be generated from BPLGU file somehow?
As you people can see that I have tried a lot of things, so please suggest/advise accordingly.
Any help would be appreciated
have you got rooted sir ?
if you have, you must press ROOT button first to change IMEI and restore NVRAM.bin from your stockROM
what was d way out eventually
Hello. I'm stuck with the same problem too. Thought mine is with a tecno f7. I was wondering how you finally got to fix urs. Please share. Somebody. Anybody. Thanks
Any Progress on this issue ?
Hello threatalive/buggiemannie
I am facing EXACTLY the same issue for a lesser known brand (iOCEAN). Did you guys resolved this issue earlier? Any help, greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks

Lost imei number

Hello Sir,
I flash stock rom of lollipop using sp flash tool on my karbonn sparkle v as it is working on kitkat downloaded from androidxda.com . While flashing unknowingly i press format all + upgrade button on sp flash tool. Then from that i lost my imei numbers and the networks are not working, my mobile is now not working to calls and use internet. I used many methods to reback my imei but nothing happens. And also my mobile does not have engineermode in it. I checked completely but cannot have mtk engineer mode. I used mtk droid tool, mobile uncle tool, sn writer and many similar apps to restore or to chane imei, but lost. :crying::crying::crying:
Can you please help me to get imei back.
Follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...out4-permanent-fix-invalid-imei-wifi-t3250044
Even if the program says that the NVRAM file is invalid it will work (I tested it myself). You can find your original IMEI on the back of the phone.

[Completed] Imei fix for lenovo k4 note (mtk6753)

Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I rooted my phone a few days back and a couple of days later i found out Xposed framework. As it required TWrp i proceeded to flash my Rom but in the process got stuck at BOOTLOOP. i flashed it with my stock rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/stock-rom-lenovo-k4-note-t3312345, but somehow deleted my imei number. Since then i have been trying to restore my IMEI number and have followed the following processes but nothing is working. They are as follows:-
1. Sn write method - Gives me meta error and fails.
2. Maui meta 3g method- It gors on well untill the last where it gives me error.
3. Moto droid tools- not working at all.
4. Mobile uncle- EVerything is working but IMEI not changing.
5. Chamelephon Method - Working but not changing IMEi.
6. IMEI.exe method - Not changing Imei.
Please can someone please help me out?

Greetings,
Discussion regarding the changing or writing of IMEI is prohibited on XDA due to the fact that changing the IMEI is illegal in most countries.
I'm afraid you'll have to search elsewhere for assistance with this issue.

So guys there is any way to restore it? or any luck to writes my IMEI from my old phone?
Nvram formated
I have the same problem because I deleted the NVRAM and unfortunately I did not make a backup. then I try to fix the problem using Miracle box by untroducing imei 1 and 2. the network has been restored but there is always a conflict from time to time the network disappears. 4G does not work and when I use 3G the SIM 2 loses the network, the MEID and always 0000 ....

If you have rooted your phone, GhostPhone app is working perfect and keeps all numbers without need to restore them manually on every update or changed mobile network settings(the last oftendeletes IMEI on many MTK 6xxx phones). If no root access - use MauiMeta to flash them from PC, it is not hard for use from unexpirienced people.
