Lenovo A369i No Service Problem

Heya!
I'm using Lenovo A369i. I've flashed the phone a few times before but gotten myself into quite a trouble. I've accidentally plugged out the USB cable when I was flashing the phone the first time and I totally forgot to backup the IMEI number. So, it got a little bit messed up. It didn't turn on the first time. After few flashes in attempt to recover the damn phone, I finally got it on but it can't read my SIM card. It says "Invalid IMEI". I did try to fix it by replacing the MPB_001 thingy and by using the MTK Droid Tools (I didn't remember which one worked) but only managed to recover one IMEI number. Used the phone when it was recovered for about a week and did a format on the phone. After the format, I get the "Invalid IMEI" message again. Flashed the phone once again using the same stock ROM (v111) and afterwards I got a "No service" message instead of the "Invalid IMEI".
Any clue on fixing this one ? I need this ASAP. Tried to search around for answers but only managed to know that I need to change the radio IC but I dunno how to do that.
P.S: My phone stil; works just that it can't read my sim cards (dual-sim)
Currently on my ASUS Zenfone C

[Completed] Help needed, unlock pattern (phone locked)

Hi all,
I need help with breaking my lock screen pattern (Sony Z3 Compact D5803, Android 5.1.1). Today 6 years old kid was playing with my phone and somehow she went into settings and changed my lock screen - and she forgot it. Grrrr
Things I have done so far:
1. Access my gmail account, able to use Android Device Manager -> lock and reset (its running on phone - but did not reset lock screen pattern)
2. Contacted Sony and my carrier (Vodafone UK) - both unable to do anything. Recommend hard reset (all data wiped out)
3. Tried to access phone with ADB shell ->error device '(null)' not found (i guess on USB debugging on on the phone)
4. tried like 200 combinations (simple) no luck
5. Pushed installation of androidlost and done sms registering etc (done this before on friend phone when was stolen) but no luck on main (I got AVG AV on phone which probably stop starting app remotely)
Got some data on my phone what can't really lose, otherwise would do hard reset
Any help appreciated

Thanks for your help. went there and did go through those methods, unfortunately adb shell/devices showed null device, I am on stock rom so no recovery mode - to flash from sd.
But in the end of the day, I made it - phone is unlocked thanks to SONY software (when registering phone with your gmail it does create for you Xperia account). Its like Google Device Manager - with the difference it will overwrite PIN/Lock Pattern. Funny thing is Sony customer service is unaware of this.. completely..at least they first level of support.
Happy

Glad, you found your way. Thread closed

[Completed] Will someone actually help with this

Okay so, My friend has a samsung galaxy s5 neo and he gave it to his daughter who is quite young. She set up her own gmail etc on it and he later had to factory reset the phone.
Upon starting it up, he obviously ran into the "please log in with the origional gmail account to verify identity." the only problem is his child cant remember the details at all.
So, he has handed his phone to me to fix as i have a bit of experience with this sort of stuff however I have a couple of problems.
First and foremost usb debugging and oem unlock allowed are not ticked whatsoever and because i cant access the phone i cant get them on. I'm pretty stumped on what to do now, i've tried several things
like flashing different stock roms on via odin etc...
i've tried getting different apks to open when i put in he usb, i have tried to disconnect my internet whenever the "just a sec" part comes up.
The only thing i can think of now would be to get a custom recovery on and flash a custom rom. But because i don't have the oem thing and debugging on odin wont flash twrp because i get the frp lock issue.
If anybody can offer me any advice on things you think i can do to help me please do, i appreciate it a lot.​

Unable to reset S6 - Says abnormal factory reset

Hi all
I've recently reset my wife's phone so my son can use it.
However, after factory reset (using the buttons) when it reboots I cannot set it up.
It says that an "Abnormal factory reset" has been performed and asks for my wife's Samsung email/password.
When we put this in - it's rejected (actually, it says signing in but nothing happens).
We've reset the password but it still won't work.
I'd be happy to just format it an put a clean custom ROM on it but I don't know how.
All guides I find say it needs to be rooted first and to enable USB developer options - but I cannot unlock the phone to get to this stage.
Could someone please help me figure it out? Samsung can't (they want us to send it to them for a chargeable repair!)
Thanks
Matt

Hi, you don't need to root before flashing.
Samsung is AWESOME FOR THIS.
You can flash at any desperate moment.
It is time to install Android 10 for the dummies : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/guide-tutorial-howto-samsung-galaxy-s6-t4108425

Thanks. I managed to fix it though.
I had to get the L2 Samsung account support to disable two-factor authentication.
Then the password worked and the phone unlocked.
The "this phone is blocked" screen requires your Samsung password but isn't smart enough to work with two factor auth (which is default turned on for all Samsung accounts). #facepalm

Nope the twofacauth is not turned on by default for Sam acc or any other acc on this Planet...that must be activate and config by user.
But if you have the right knowledge you could flash other Rom even if the Phone is lock by google. You just need to know how to.
