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

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.

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.
