A common problem many face in their phone is loss of IMEI no. This is results in no network detection by your phone. U can come to know you have lost your IMEI by checking Settings->About phone->Phone information. There under IMEI section you won't be finding your mobile IMEI numbers displayed.
Don't worry you can restore your IMEI's. Just follow my guide and you will be able to restore your IMEI. We will split the tutorial into two parts.
BACKING IMEI :
First step before performing all these things is that your phone should be rooted.
When your phone is in normal state with everything functioning install Root explorer and navigate to the below location >ROOT>DATA>NVRAM>MD>NVRAM>NVD_IMEI>MP0B_001
Now copy this MP0b_001 file to your SD card or PC whichever place you feel the file we be safer.
Now download MTK Droid tools . Now extract the zip file and open the MTK droid tools exe file.
Now in your phone turn on USB Debugging by going to Settings->About phone-> Developer options and there turn on USB debugging. Now connect your phone and MTK droid tools should be able to detect your phone. U should see a window like this appearing after your phone has been detected.

"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now press the ROOT button present in lower right corner. When it asks Supersu grant in your mobile click allow. After MTK droid gets access u should see a green colour box appearing in the lower left corner which means u have correctly granted access to MTK droid.
Now click on the IMEI/Nvram tab. A window should open and click backup NVRAM and MTK droid tools would take a backup of NVram in its folder.
RESTORING IMEI :
Now when you lose IMEI first try this method. Now take the MPDB_001 file which you took backup at the first step and navigate through Root explorer to this location ->ROOT->DATA->NVRAM->MD->NVRAM->NVD_IMEI. Now paste that file and replace the one present there. Now set the permissions for that file as RWER-ER-E. Now reboot your phone and you should be able to get your IMEI back.
If you still haven't got IMEI open MTK droid tools and connect your phone and press ROOT again and give MTK droid tools root access. Now click on IMEI/Nvram tab and select Restore option and restore the NVram backup which you took earlier. Now reboot your phone and you should be able to get your IMEI.
Extreme method :
After performing all the above if you haven't still got IMEI. Now switch off your phone and open SP Tools and connect your phone. Now click on format and format your whole phone. ( This wipes whole of the phone including NVram region ).
Now flash stock ROM through SP Tools and after it completes start up your phone. ( Don't be surprised. Your IMEI will still be in lost state only ). Now root your phone.
After successful rooting now connect your phone to MTK Droid tools and again press ROOT button and grant root access to MTK Droid tools. Now click on IMEI/NVram tab.
Now as you see in the image above you can see two boxes IMEI1 and IMEI 2. Now enter your device IMEI numbers manually in those two boxes.( You can get your IMEI no's from your phone box ). Now click replace IMEI. Now reboot your phone and you should be definitely able to get your IMEI restored.
Should you have any queries feel free to contact me and I will be there to help.
Will this work for SIM ME lock? Which popups every time I reboot my phone? It's annoying, it happened after I flashed CM11 ROM. Can you make it go forever?

Friends, I flashing my MP 809T with MTK 6592, because I needed to change my screen's driver, and now I have problems with IMEI. I didn't do any backup before I flashing. This method will fix my IMEI problem?

But I still cannot get my IMEI numbers,, they are still null
And I have my IMEI numbers with me too!!

Hello everybody,
This is just a small guide I made for rooting ALCATEL OT-918 (Maybe also 918D or M) devices on which SuperOneClick fails. Most of the files are not by me so all credit goes to the original author...
Tutorial:
01) Unzip usb_driver.zip and install the drivers. (phone shall not be off an plugged in, thx dbask)
02) Copy the file Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip to the root of your SD card.
03) Make sure your battery is fully charged and turn off your phone.
04) Head to the directory SP_Flash_Tool_v2.1134.00 and start FlashTool.exe.
05) Make sure the menu Options->USB Mode is checked.
06) Use attached scatter file creator to make scatter. (or use Android_2.3.6_MT6573_Android_scatter_918.txt)
Warnings/Errors like this can be safely ignored:
Code:
[Warning Hint] Get BMT block count fail, default BMT block count is used!
Code:
[Hint] Bootloader files are lost when automatically loading by scatter file.
Code:
Please make sure you want to go through anyway.
Code:
DSP_BL is unchecked, which may result in a boot failure
07) Check the entry with name "RECOVERY" and double click it.
08) Select the recovery.img file and again make sure ONLY one entry is checked.
09) Click the Download button and plugin your phone with the USB cable.
* Wait some time (untill the recovery file is loaded to your phone) *
10) Unplug your phone and press the volume up and power button at once
11) Select "Flash Zip from SDCard" and choose the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
12) Confirm the update and reboot your phone. Everything should be done, phone is rooted!
Actual tutorial made by others. I only try to make it a bit more clear.

ALCATEL Scatter Retriever v0.1
Just to make this thread a little development related: I coded a tool that should be able to automatically create scatter files for your (ALCATEL) device. It is only tested on my own device but it should work for other (ALCATEL) devices too (Sources can be posted if needed).
Screenshot:
Last words
The tools and files used to make this tutorial are not created by me. The FlashTool is made by MediaTek (the company that makes the ALCATEL devices), the recovery.img is made by somebody at 592zn, the USB Drivers are made by MediaTek/Alcatel (unsure).
I wish you all a very plesant day,
Mr. eXoDia

Otherwise thanks alot.

Is there something I am missing?
Thanks for your prompt replies..
I am very grateful...It was successful in restoring but it doesn't boot...it shows the logo then goes to a blank screen.
By the way I have Alcatel OT-918(without D/M/N) running Android 2.3.6.
Is there something that I should do before of after the restore?
I have tried with wiping the cache/data/dalvik cache before restore & after .
I give it alot of time but it doesn't seem to boot.
Is it possible that you give me the data and cache files too.Please......that is if it is possible..
Thanks alot

download the One Touch Upgrade software from here: http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/ph/products/andorid_smartphones/ot-918.html to reinstall your OS
to root, use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27178532&postcount=16
Device is upto date and exits
I did that and it says there is no other later version than the one already install on your device and it exits.
Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks
@kippsoft: Sorry, but I cannot give my data and cache... it contains private stuff such as contacts, emails, password and all stuff like that... nothing more to do I guess
@ mr.expdia: I am very very grateful
I am very gratefull for all that you have one to me.Your time spend and assistance is highly appreciated.
Thanks alot.
But said those images were for Alcatel OT-918?Please confirm that?
I thought those were images before you used your phone...it is okay.
And do you have any working custom rom for 2.3.6? Most of the available are for 2.3.5.
Though my problem is not solved...I have learn alot and that is exactly what I wanted when I joined xda.
Thanks to all.:good:
They are captured while rooting my phone, so yes. And I do not have a custom rom, I think you need to wait for one to be created.

Can u give that file which is needed in
1 app database
2 modem database
Sent from my Micromax A110 using xda premium
modem and ap image
hi ,
I already installed the sn write tool, and my phone is already being detected , after i click , it is giving me write wifi mac fail.
i think the problem is the modem and ap image file,
can someone post a link of the stock rom used for this?
can someone send a picture of the sn write tool before hitting start ?
when i extract the zipped rom to a folder it will only give me 3 items , 1 boot image and 2 folders , where can i find the ap and modem image ?
what u can do is first flash everyting with original stock rom of mmx (look in site of micromax or in my case mobistel)
and then use sn write tool to correct serialnumbers if neccesary
i experienced this with first beta roms my serial and imei was gone.
flashed back to original rom and problem fixed automatic...no need tool
never experienced ever since
good luck

When writing imei you have to select modem.img as modem database and Ap file as ap database.
But when you write Wifi Mac, you have to select "BPLGINFOCUSTOMAPP... " something like this file instead of modem.img and ap database file should be same.
Than you can write wifi mac.

Salam Everyone
Is your Qmobile Noir A2 bricked??? :/
If your mobile is stuck on Logo!? not showing Recovery?! then you can do these steps to Unbrick your mobile
First of all i want to say that i take no responsibility to Loss or Damage to your Device or You
Firstly you must have a Full backup of your Device (that backup which is made by mtkdroidtools contains these files shown in pic here
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
)
If you have all of the above mentioned files then you can proceed
Things you need:
• SP Flash Tools to flash all backup files
• Qmobile A2 Drivers --> (MT65x3 USB VCOM drivers + ADB_usb_driver + pdaNet) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5zdw0fe0c5o98u0/JRyKXydQn3
• Data cable
• CWM Recovery 6 View attachment Recovery(CWM6).img
• Needle
• and some knowledge
Procedure:
Okay so now install all drivers that are mentioned above!
after that connect your device and make your system recongnise your device obviously it fails as your device is bricked :/ but do this then
now open up sp flash tool and load scatter file that is present in backup folder in mtkdroidtools
when you select scatterfile it automatically check marks on some boxes including preloader, boot, logo etc
dont uncheck any of them and then check the recovery box and click on recovery
then select cwm6 (remember to rename cwm6 to recovery.img)
then click on Android and select system.img
see below image to see how to get system.img file
now click on download
immediatly connect you qmobile a2
then wait to install drivers
after drivers are installed (might give you installation failed if failed then proceed too)
after that press and hold needle in test point see image below
now sp flash tool start flashing your device keep and hold the needle pressed in test point
after two or three times loading sp flash tool will give an error click ok then
remove needle and remove usb
now turn on your mobile it will be unbricked
your phone has cwm recovery 6 installed with stock rom
Click thanks if it really did helped you
May work on qmobile a2 v2 but do at your own risk
Allahhafiz

QMobile Noir A2 Bricked
Assalam o'alaikum
I have been unable to boot my set after trying to root it by the test point method. Its version 3.
I have tried the above method too but it does not work on it. The reason may be that my mobile does not boot at all.
No logo screen rather it does not start even when I plug it in the charger it does not charge.
What could be wrong? When I tried your method it stucks at 4% when flashing by the flash tool.
It gives the error that the page file is not aligned. Please help me out as I am very worried.
If possible please give your cell no.
My cell number is 03218546135
Waiting for your reply,.......

do you have any backup of previous roms or atlest your EFS ??
If you have flashed the rom from Philz or CWM recovery then there are high chances that the developer have used the option of "Backing up EFS" and it might be on your sd card..
Please share what have you done so far with your tab.. if you got no backup of EFS then forget about calling functions of your tab .. All i can help without the EFS backup is in restoring your tab back to its normal state..
go to sammobile.com download your ROM from there :
1) Go to sammobile
2) Register and sign in
3) Go to firmware section
4) download the P3100 rom of your location ..
5) Flash it with odin with "Phone EFS clear " option UNTICKED
You might have ticked that option and your EFS got cleared .
Efs holds the imp data like IMEI numbers .. which is illegal to fiddle with in any country..
More info here : http://rescueroot.com/android/how-to-back-up-efs-on-samsung-devices/
and here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.boris.efsbackup
AND THIS IS THE DANGEROUS ONE:
http://www.droidviews.com/backup-and-restore-lost-imei-on-samsung-galaxy-devices-without-root/
Do this only if you are little expireinced in rooting and stuffs ..
and i hope next time onwards you will be carefull to backup your EFS

go to sammobile.com download your ROM from there :
1) Go to sammobile
2) Register and sign in
3) Go to firmware section
4) download the P3100 rom of your location ..
5) Flash it with odin with "Phone EFS clear " option UNTICKED
You might have ticked that option and your EFS got cleared .
Efs holds the imp data like IMEI numbers .. which is illegal to fiddle with in any country..

I told you to download from sammobile .. and flash that tar.md5 file from odin..

it might be just a widget .. try removing it .. if it doesnt then i think you should just try to reprogram your EFS rather than trying to remove that yellow thing..
Just follow the links i gave you.. study what efs it .. go to the last link i gave , and try doing the things that it says to create your EFS..
Note: the guide is generic for all samsung galaxy devices .. so you might have to google up a bit to keep up with the guide..
If you're rooted download terminal emulator and Google how to exit factory mode on Samsung
