Hi everybody,
I have a really urgent problem.
I deleted modemst partitions and I could not restore my IMEI and Baseband in any way. The only way to restore them is a .qcn file backupped from a nubia z11 max, but on the net I could not find it. So if any of you do not have 15 free minutes, would you save your efs partitions with Qualcomm QPST tools and send me the RCQ file? Of course, I ask for a null IMEI, I do not want yours, I will crush mine as I printed it on the phone box. Please help me, it is really important!
I leave you my e-mail thank you.

Hello xda friends.... im new here and i need a help from u guys. Please help mee..
i just bricked my micromax magnus a117. What i did--- rooted my phone then installed an app meteos6589 (something like that) to increase app storage. Then i restarded my phone(with usb debugging off(if it afffects anything )). And after that it is showing micromax logo only.
so anyway i downloaded stock rom v4 from mounlisky. and tried to flash with sp tools. But but but problem is arising something like "pmt didnt mathched...................." . So sp tools is saying to select and do format+download option. But i have nothing in backup only microsd and internal sd data.
So the point is i dont have backup of nvram or anything else, phone is bricked at micromx logo, usb debugging off. So how do i get my phone back to life.
anyone please....
Any detailed help is appreciated.. thank you..
so i did it. i flashed it with stock rom. and as i was afraid of it, imei erased. but i got imei back by using mtkdroid tool(got imei numbers under mobile battery) but serial number,bluetooth address lost and in wifi showing avirtual wifi named nvram warning:err= 0*10. how to get them back?

This is a trap that I have fallen into also in the early days of my MTK experience. The way MTKDT backs up data is NOT sufficient to restore a phone or tablet back.
(Sorry, I will rant for a few)
MTKDT backs up the /data/nvram files. I almost wish MTKDT didn't exist because people think they have a copy of everything they need, but it is not everything they need as you've found. (it may have improved since my knowledge is old) The proper thing to do is backup the "NVRAM" block with SP Flash Tool. You would determine where it was by looking at the scatter file. A better safeguard is to backup the whole ROM with SPFT, then you don't even have to worry about offsets, because your offset is 0x0.
Sidenote:
When you wipe the /data partition, the /data/nvram that you've restored using MTKDT will be wiped also. So you will have to restore it again.
I think where you are at now, your only option is to inspect the NVRAM block by dumping it to your computer. You will probably also need to inspect someone else's NVRAM block that has the exact model you have. From there you can look at it with a hex editor and try to figure out how to put your information back. I have to admit, I've only had limit success in doing this. I've found for example where the Wifi MAC should go, but it repeats at different locations within the block and I think I was never successful. To check to see if your hexediting is correct, you wipe /data. On first boot MediaTek's linux/android creates the /data/nvram/* files from what it finds in your NVRAM block.
I'm sorry I'm not more help.

I don't use MTKDT at all. I do see some uses for it though. SPFT is a pain, but I wish every device (SoC maker) had an SPFT so you could read or write any chunk of flash.
If you look at a scatter file you will see lots of blocks/partitions that the flash is divided into. Each of these has a purpose of course, but the one marked NVRAM (a horrible confusing name) is the most important to get backed up, it has unique "calibration data" for your specific unit. You may find a "nvram.bin" that MTKDT created... this may be exactly what SPFT would backup too... if you are lucky.
So if MTKDT made a nvram.bin that is about 100x better than having a nvram.tgz or however he archives the /data/nvram files.
After flashing some custom rom you may lose IMEI numbers and phone loses its network. How to restore IMEI numbers of MediaTek Chipset phone?
Due to mismatch in Radio files mismatched between the roms of two different chipsets, you may lose IMEI on some roms after flashing. Do not panic or worry, it can be restored easily. Remember for DUAL SIM phone you need to restore both IMEI numbers, which are found on your Invoice (Bill), Product Box or below Battery)
METHOD 1) Restore your own IMEI numbers with this amazing APP. Read warning carefully.
WARNING: DO NOT SHARE YOUR IMEI WITH ANYONE ELSE. Remember, using FALSE IMEI numbers is illegal in any country and it can put you in JAIL. These days they are tracing culprits for terrorism threats. So please use this app to restore your own IMEI only.

METHOD 2)
Restoring NVRAM BACKUP taken with MTKDROID TOOLS which you can flash with SPFT Flashing tool.
a) Watch this video to know how to take backup of NVRAM of a working STOCK ROM with the help of MTKDROID Tools. You must know that NVRAM backup file stores your own IMEI Number. Do Not share it with anyone else. They will restore their phone with your IMEI number and will put you in trouble.

b) When IMEI is lost flash this only single entry of NVRAM with SPFlash tools
WARNING: DO NOT SHARE YOUR NVRAM FILE WITH ANYONE ELSE. It stores your IMEI Number.
imei reover/repair
Can imei be repaired for sm-g570y ?
Hi everybody! I have problem of missing IMEI. I do have full lenovo a850 files which I saved before I flashing my lenovo. By any chances, am I able to retrieve the IMEI through the file I saved? I lost my phone box that include the IMEI I believe. All your help are appriciated!
I'm new to this community, so I probably gonna messed up everything +I can't paste a picture here.
Anyone left with some humanity is requested to PLEASE HELP ME if you have a Redmi 6a device or know a guy with redmi 6a device.
I actually bricked my device unintentionally and did found a way to get out using SP Flash Tool, However the thing I am stuck in right now is worse than bricking a phone.
Both SIM Cards are not working. I did a lot of research and found that I need two files:
[nvdata.img] [nvram.bin]
Unfortunately I don't have any backup for this. Now what I am looking for is some kind hearted person who can take a backup of their [nvdata] [nvram] partition and give it to me and I'll replace all their data like IMEI numbers etc with my own. I have my IMEI numbers ready to be feeded. I did a lot of try using those engineering ROMS and Tools. NOTHING WORKS!
I regret my decision of jumping in something I don't know about. I want you to please have pity on me so that I don't have to live without my phone.
==============CURRENTLY ON NEGHBOURS WIFI WHO CAN CHANGE PASSWORD ANYTHIME IF HE GETS TO KNOW THAT I HAVE HIS PASSWORD BEFORE HE DOES THIS PLEASE GET ME OUT OF THIS SO THAT I CAN USE MY OWN PHONE FOR INTERNET. I AM COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON CELLULAR DATA!===============

I tried it but it still shows imei unknown. What device is your fixed mobile phone? xiaomi or some other?
IMEI gets added to mobile device when it's built. It's stored in device's /EFS and/or /NVRAM partition. If you haven't backed up this partition before you flashed a new ROM then you have lost unless the IMEI is printed on the box in which device has been delivered.

Hello, my poco x3 nfc (surya) bootloops and i'm very desperate.
I tried MIUI 13.0.1.0, NitrogenOS and PixelOS but they all show the poco logo , phone vibrates, after a few seconds it reboots.
Yes I obviously did format data and MIUI is the fastboot ROM, which flashes all partitions.
What do I do? TWRP works.
Solved (yes it was very fast!)
Flash persist.img from TWRP, not from fastboot
(read here) https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ing-flashing-custom-rom.4274891/post-85030381
Update: Flashed NitrogenOS, but modem does not start. Did I erase my IMEI? It shows up as "0" in settings.
It can read the SIM (sim vendor shows up), but it can't scan for networks.

Luckily I had an EFS backup laying around
Ok so postmortem of the incident:
I restored a TWRP backup from a corrupted microSD without enabling digest verification. Obviously, this destroyed eveything on the phone, the most two important stuff being the bootloader and the EFS.
For the first one I had to pay a guy on Telegram to flash with EDL (thank you xiaomi for this very good policy).
For the second one I very luckily had, as written above, a working TWRP backup.
The only other way to restore the IMEIs is to use a Qualcomm tool, but you need to have a device-specific .qcn file (and the associated programs to change imeis in file and restore)
I couldn't find it on the Internet (for free - there are websites asking 40 USD for it!), so I decided to share my .qcn here for free.
