Backing up IMEI? - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I been reading a lot around the mate 8 forum and I dont see a single mention about backing up the IMEI, am I missing something here!?, I thought this was extremely important before messing up with the device, any one around here care to mention if theres already in the works and that already exists , so we can use it to back up our IMEI?
Thanks!

I am gonna try and say this as nicely as I can. Please do not take this personal.
We need more info before we can help. Rom? Radio? What you did before you noticed this problem. You said you used the AHK and still the same, does this mean that this happened when you were still on stock?
Now I emplore you please understand completely what you are doing before you do it. Would you try and install a new OS on your PC just by a video on the internet or from someones word without looking into and doing some reading? Well I hope not Flashing a rom on your phone is the same thing. You are loading a custom OS on to it and removing the old. Is it easy? Far easier then it should be. Is it dangerous? Yup. Stupidity and rushing always are (not personal). Is it for everyone? No (because what alot of people I have noticed dont understand is that custom roms will ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, Did I say always lol have bugs and need tweaks. This is what we do. A true developer is never happy. If they got to the point of being happy then there would be nothing left to do. Yeah lol not likely. So flashing updates sometimes on an hourly basis is what happens.) Plus not everyone needs root access or a custom rom for what they use the phone for. They flash it cause they want to be cool like everyone else. This is where the issues start. The see a video and come here and start at it and boom they end up with a brick that cant be fixed or returned. Then they come here complaining and yelling about how this bricked their device when it was their own stupidity (yes I consider reprogramming any OS without reading plain out stupid no offence) That caused it.
So in closing please provide as much info as you can about a problem you are having. Including all steps you took to try and fix it. But even before that read the stickies. Hell do what i did and copy the info to a text file and print it out and read it when you have time This will save you, other members, me, and everyone else a ton of time, resources, and hair. lol

I bought a new HTC INSPIRE 4g from amazon it was unlocked. Because i am not american citizen i am from Europe i didn't try if it works properly with american's AT&T , but when i came back in my country i saw that i can not make calls from the phone i haven't done anything before that , so i read in that web site about the hack-ace and before that a guy that i met on the street with the same phone told me that he used this for his phone. So i read the manuel , everything went fine but there was no effect , i had did Karnel's thing. Everything is exactly the same. I dont know about the "Radio". It means that it happened. The Inspire should work on EDGE on my network -- PROVED.
And the other thing is i am web developer and i must admit i am not that into this thing, i can write application but haven't done something like this before, but i read a lot of before "hack" the phone.

General tips to avoid destroying a rooted phone

I recently rooted and even though I did a ton of research, I destroyed my phone. So here are some tips to avoid turning your phone into a paper weight.
First thing you should do after rooting is create a backup. If I had done this I would still have a phone. To do this boot into recovery (look up how to do this for your phone) and go to backup, create backup.
DO NOT: Trust titaniumbackup to backup system apps or preinstalled apps. IT WILL NOT WORK.
DO NOT: Randomly uninstall system apps even if you do not use them. Many system apps are used for other applications or are required to run in order for the phone to work properly. Some system apps can be installed, but just research it before you uninstall. I found, the hard way, that it is safer to flash a new rom to get more space than to uninstall things that might be important.
If you flash a ROM and have issues with connectivity, internet, sms, etc., it might be because you have a CDMA phone and the ROM is meant for a GSM phone or vice versa. If you look at the back of your phone and you have an MEID number, you have a CDMA phone. If you have an IMEI number you have a GSM phone. If you think this might be your problem go to settings/about phone/phone identity and see if it tells you a IMEI number or an MEID number and see if it matches the number on the back of your phone.
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask me questions and I will try to answer although I am still somewhat new to all of this. If I helped be sure to click thanks.
Thank you Captain Obvious.

I'm sorry if I offended your far superior android abilities with this simple post meant for much less intelligent users like myself, but can I ask you why you are reading a post titled general tips if your expertise extend beyond anything general?
Also if a brilliant "expert" like yourself would have posted a thread like this before, in all likelihood I would not be in the position I am now.
I suggest you get off your high horse and start being a little more accommodating to people who are just learning this stuff.
Thanks for the input. Thanks for helping out us new folks.

So no one ever told you to only flash ROM's made for your phone? And you cant brick your phone by deleting system apps...you get force closes, go to recovery, reflash, good to go.

How to flash a rom with s on????

I wanted to root my htc one s so i could put a custom rom on it. I unlocked the bootloader and then I flashed a custom recovery. So i rebooted into twrp recovery and wipe data, cache and dalvik and then proceeded to install cm 10. It installed and then i installed the gaaps which also installed sucesfully. So i rebooted and now all it does it just goes to a white screen with the htc logo. I did have s on but does that make a diffrence. I also tried making s off but it doesnt work since i have no rom.
Help!! My phone is basically useless now!!!

You obviously didn't read/followed the install instructions. Read it again.
Then please tell me what you missed.

That's the easy way--you cheated--
If you don't learn not only how to do it correctly, but why, you will always have trouble and have to rely on nice guys like troby86 for help. They won't always be there. Most of us spent dozens, if not more hours, learning all this stuff. And continue to learn. Since you invested a lot of money in the phone, you should spend some time learning how to flash stuff safely/correctly.
Sorry for preaching, but just trying to prevent you from having more and maybe unrecoverable phone issues--

Care to explain/show us what you mean?
I don't know anyone's skill level by just reading posts like on this thread. You may know more than me on Android. And, the info is not, and never has been in one place in Forum or Web.
Here is a link in our Forum with a tutorial on rooting.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140967
You may already know all that.
A lot can be gleaned from tutorials and videos on web like youtube.
I used all those sources and bookmarked dozens of links till I started to piece it together and have it make sense.
I had to Google Android terms just to find out what rom/nandroid/flash etc even meant. At least as far as Android was concerned. I was familiar with terms like those from engineering classes 40 years ago. But, take on new meaning here.
Anyway, I believe all should download and install Android SDK and become familiar with adb/fastboot. Most experienced users will agree it is best and safest way to flash boots/radios etc. You can also push and pull files from and to phone. Some restrictions apply to those things like flashing radios which depends on your phones hboot on our One S. I was lucky with an early phone and low hboot and can do almost anything with or without adb/fastboot. But, being able to use it can help getting things to phone when other means won't work. Getting in trouble is easy but "understanding" how to get out of it is essential.
My second piece of advice would be to skim threads and find ones that offer this info from others asking these questions.
I would always have a nandroid and a recent sdcard bu on your pc.
Read the threads OP page completely and first and last 20 pages, at least, of the thread. Even after doing this for years, I have done this and have read posts that alerted me not to flash the latest, listed rom version or some other file on OP. Some threads, I believe, still don't state if rom is for s3 or s4. Maybe listed kernel had some issues not found on OP, but 10 pages back into thread.
Also, when flashing new rom or update with framework or major changes always wipe all including System 3X. Once or three times is up for debate. But, I do this and rarely have ever had flashing issues on any phone/rom.
Flash Image GUI is an app from Market that lets you flash boots independent of hboot. Never used it. But, many swear by it. Still think when you are in real trouble, adb/fastboot experience can be a life saver.
This is all pretty basic so don't know if I wasted time typing this. And not sure what exactly you wanted. No one will write a book on how to do all this flashing stuff. So, like mentioned you have to gather it from a lot of different places. We have become a society of "give it too me now and I don't want to know how you didi it".
But, maybe someone just starting will have some of this help in some way.
Believe me I looked up guides and guides and couldn't find what was wrong. Still don't know how to do it right but it's fine since I just sold the phone. On the s3 it's so much simpler u root it via some program by picking a file. Then just flash roms through recovery. This phone I thought you just unlock the bootloader and then just install super user and that's it. Just flash roms through recovery. But then some stuff came up with s on and s off and I tried figuring that out but I just got lost at hex editor. Anyways it doesn't matter just know to not get HTC phones.

HTC has made it harder than some other phones. I did have a Nexus One before the One S. Google, but still HTC. Still, I think is important to understand a lot of this. Since, you can get in trouble on any phone.
The procedures you are describing are what was/is called one-click rooting. Became popular on Nexus One. But, some found rooting by that method restricted them on doing certain things they wanted to do and troubleshooting and getting out of soft bricks. I think they could not use either adb or fastboot and needed that to restore phone.
Anyway, good luck on new phone--

The first time I tried to flash a ROM on my phone I softbricked it since I didn't follow directions. I searched the web for at least a couple of hours trying to figure out 1) what happened to my phone and 2) How to fix it. I eventually found a thread on here and a separate thread on another Forum with the solution to my problem. I learned UNIX in school so I had some knowledge with the commands to help me. I'm not a big fan of the All-in-One tools because as the poster above me said you don't learn and are bound to make the same mistake as a result. The knowledge also transfers across whatever Android device you're using so I think it's quite relevant to learn as much as you can

I don't understand what there is to learn. Could you enlighten me as to what I am supposed to learn. From what I gather, all you are supposed to do when flashing a rom is flash the boot.img, factory reset and wipe data/cache a few times, install the rom and then wipe cache again. Isn't it all done then?
Well, I guess you got it figured out and I wasted my time on a lengthy post--

I'm using Android on several phones and tablets for a while, but there's one thing i still don't understand. Why should i wipe more than once before installing a rom? I often read that, never did that and never had a problem. And: ain't factory reset and wipe data/cache the same?

That is topic of discussion and disagreement for many. Most devs will recommend multi wipes. I have had on occasion issues with one wipe. Never with multi. If you don't wipe System, some remnants of previous rom can be left behind. Same for only one wipe for data. Caches I normally only do once or twice. All this is very quick to do. My analogy is doing a quick fomat as opposed to a full format on a disk. It is my opinion that one wipe does not get it all. Others can have a different opinion. But, I will continue to wipe all multi times. After 3 years and hundreds of successful flashes, I don't plan to change. If i have an issue I can't fix, normally an sdcard reformat works. Some files there are tied to the phone also and if become bad/corrupted can still cause issues even with multi wipes. I have read many posts where someone with problems got sorted after multi wipes and/or an sdcard reformat.
All imho--
You may continue to have no issues and great. My problem with the other poster is that after asking for advice and reading my post still thinks all you do is wipe data/caches, flash boot then rom and nothing else to know. My point is you need to read, read, read before flashing theses roms. You have an investment to protect. You also should know why you are doing things and there consequences and how to get out of trouble. I see many posts by people you just did what the other member mentioned, never read OP or any part of thread and wound up soft bricked, bootlooped etc. Not even paying attn to whether the rom was for an S3 or S4.
Again, I have no idea of anyones expertise here. And most know more than me. That is why I am cautious and respect tips/advice from more knowledgeable users. It took me a long time to force myself to learn adb/fastboot. Even with a lot of prodding by a much more learned member. Glad I finally did.
What I hate to see is someone asking a question answered one page back or "hey, just got phone. can someone give me a step by step on rooting/flashing. no I haven't read anything yet"
Anyway my 2 cents--
Sorry for rant, must be bored today--

I'm actually glad you told me all this. I've been through many bootloops, but I don't really see how learning A LOT about all of this is required. Don't you just need to fullwipe/cache after booting into recovery and then just recover your device? Sorry if I come across as arrogant or something, I'm really not trying to be. I have read around about this, but none of the sites/tutorials I went to discussed ANYTHING about spending a long time researching the matter. I thought it was as simple as following the instructions from Developers.
No problem. The actual steps are relatively simple. But, not all Dev's give all needed steps. Some leave out wiping System, as an example. My only point is not only know the steps but why you are doing them and what to do if you get into trouble. The threads are sprinkled with folks just doing the steps and getting into trouble and not knowing how to get out of it. Then they want the easy step by step to get out of trouble and still don't want to understand the why's of what they are doing.
As I mentioned, you may not be one of them. It is hard to ascertain someone's skill level or true meaning just by the post itself. So, my comments are just general fyi.
Since XDA is a development forum, there won't be extensive how to's. But the wiki's and stickies do contain a lot of info. And, scanning certain threads that have subject matter you are interested in can give a lot of insight also. Lots of You Tube videos too.
Good Luck--

Thanks, it's just the way you put it unnerved me quite a lot. I mean, I don't see how there is a LOT of skill required to do this, isn't most of it common sense? I mean, that's how I approach many things; by figuring them out. But if I'm doing everything right, then there's no problem

Sounds like you got it all figured. Didn't mean to upset. But, it is hard to read btwn lines on posts. Mine included So, sometimes things are not taken correctly.
In time you will see more of the posts that make some of us scratch our heads and wonder why the question was even asked.
For now have fun and Nandroid--and backup sdcard to PC. Those are very important things I still see some not doing--

Quick question about backing up IMEI, etc

Good evening all. I'm wanting to unlock my bootloader and flash cwm tomorrow, but I just have a quick question. I read that I want to back up my IMEI, and I plan on it... but I saw somewhere (and if I could find it again I wouldn't have to ask) that there's something else I should back up (along the same lines as the IMEI) with an app that's available in the play store. Does anyone by any chance know if that's still necessary, or what it is and the name of the app?
Sorry for the noob question, but like I said, I couldn't find it anywhere, and knowing me, I probably looked right at it and didn't realize it . Any help would be much appreciated.

Can somebody help me JTAG a Galaxy Note 3 in Stockholm, Sweden? Or recommend anybody?

Apparently I need to go to a service to get my EFS files back. I downgraded a ROM and that caused me to lose my IMEI & baseband. Unfortunately I was not aware that TWRP does NOT back these up , despite it claiming to backup EFS. Anybody able to help me with this? Do you know anybody trustworthy that can help me with this in the Stockholm area of Sweden?
I'm sitting with a half-bricked phone on my table. I'm sure some of you have felt this "suckiness". I've had a pretty challenging past 24 hours. Any help is MUCH appreciated!

Have you tried restoring to what you had before you downgraded? Sometimes this restores the IMEI.

Yeah . It didn't work. I still get an empty folder. It's so frustrating because I thought TWRP does a full backup. I have all the partitions imaged, including efs, but apparently that's not REALLY the efs. Very annoying.
It's sad that none of the ROMs I read install instructions about (and I used at least 5 different ROMs during the past 4 years) said anything about backing up the efs as a step to be done immediately after rooting. This is obviously a super important step since it ends up in the user half-bricking the phone, needing to go to a shop to fix it. So here I am, with a broken phone on my table .

Well, there are methods of rewriting your IMEI with the original IMEI you had if you know that IMEI, is it on the sticker behind the battery?
Unfortunately, discussion of the methods to rewrite IMEI are not permitted at XDA but it can be done. I wish I could help you with specific information but I'd have to break the rules to help you.

Holy macaroni! You're right. I *DO* have the IMEI written there! I suppose such procedures could be used by thieves, which is why it's forbidden in the rules? Thing is, I have the original box of the phone along with the original back (I replaced it with a wallet cover) and I've been listed with this phone on Google Play for 2 years now . I think I have the invoice somewhere too, gotta do some digs for that .
I did find a thread on SAMMOBILE by one "mobilecrackers" that deals with this issue. There's some nv_data.bin file that is required apparently. Pretty confusing instructions though. I'm a bit scared to go into this, especially since he warns it's "illegal". *sigh* decisions decisions. Thing is, in Stockholm prices are ultra-high that is if I can even FIND a service I can trust.
Thank you for putting me one more step ahead. Maybe I should actually contact a phone thief to get this fixed, LOL .

I did find a thread on SAMMOBILE by one "mobilecrackers" that deals with this issue. There's some nv_data.bin file that is required apparently. Pretty confusing instructions though. I'm a bit scared to go into this, especially since he warns it's "illegal". *sigh* decisions decisions. Thing is, in Stockholm prices are ultra-high that is if I can even FIND a service I can trust.
Thank you for putting me one more step ahead. Maybe I should actually contact a phone thief to get this fixed, LOL .

There are professionals that can do it for you, I mean legitimate official professionals, some can even team view to your PC with the device connected to your PC and they can do it from where they are through your PC.
