[warning] Magisk is a bad idea for Mediapad X2 root method - Huawei MediaPad X2

I've thought about it for a while and decided to share the experience.
DO NOT flash Magisk for root access on Mediapad x2.
I was on B206 stock and decided to use Magisk for a change. I flashed Magisk v.16.0 in TWRP. When I first booted up, I encountered a SIM NCK unlock situation, which required me to input an NCK unlock code. I chose ignore and still booted into the system, but my phone didn't connect to any phone service. It was only good for emergency call. I turned on and off sim card service couple of times, suddenly everything worked.
It was only after that I found out I had only one set of IMEI left. Now the IMEI serial numbers become#1: normal IMEI and #2: 00000000000.
The Magisk cost me one set of IMEI. I googled and googled, and found out other two cases like me. Smeone also owned a huawei device, flashed Magisk, and encountered NCK unlock and lost their IMEI,
I have no way to recover my 2nd IMEI. I didn't keep my phone package. I don't know the 2nd IMEI numbers. HCU repair tools requires you to have your own IMEI so you can key in during the repairing process.
Anyway, my phone still works. Just only one set of IMEI left. That makes it soft bricked and becomes a single sim card device.
Word of experience: don't try Magisk on mediapad x2 unless you have your IMEI backup before trying.

Hey there! I'm here to back this story up. I tried to Flash Magisk on B206, but I lost my IMEI as well. Connecting it to the computer still shows the IMEI1, but in the settings is shows 0000000000.
On top of that, I had to deal with a sudden SIM lock. This was fixed using DC unlocker and paying 4e for them to Sim unlock it.
I tried returning to a backup, to the original stock Rom, but nothing recovered it.
Good for others to be aware of this issue!

Hi, I am curious. How do you connect to computer and show your IMEI? I don't even know what my second IMEI is. It would be nice to know if I can see it in the computer.

I would not get you hopes up. With a problem called HCU client I was able to show my IMEI on the PC with my phone connected in manufacturing mode. For restoring/editing anything an account is required, but you can shoe it there. I don't know for sure about DC unlocker.

hey there. i feel you. also did this and lost my imei. funny enough theres only one imei on the box. hcu can still detect that one so you should try reading your phone info with that tool. also tried everything.
i luckily today found some nvram partition backups and am trying to restore them. will report back...

Not sure if this is what you guys are trying to achieve, but both of your IMEI numbers can be seen if you go to Settings -> About Phone. It's as simple as that but again not sure if this is what you guys are trying to accomplish.
Please use the QUOTE feature when replying to me to get my attention. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I am seriously thinking about buying credit and salvaging my 2nd IMEI. It still runs without any problem with only one set though.

Nope. The about phone section only shows correct IMEIs when the nvram partition is still intact. In our case, it's ruined.

Okay, guys. So here comes the update. I bought 8 credits and gave hcu client a try. Unfortunately, it still couldn't identify my 2nd IMEI. I think it's just gone. However, I remembered I once posted a screenshot of my about phone when I was making a tutorial about downgrading. I still keep that screenshot in one of my folders on PC. I located that screenshot and found my second IMEI. I used HCU client to write my IMEI back. So now my phone is all back. That's amazing.
I can now confirm that HCU client works but you have to have your IMEI numbers at hand.
** you need to flash back to STOCK RECOVERY before you start the process. This is very important. **
By the way, I am not sure if this is okay to do so. (I mean I am not sure if it's violating any regulations.) But before I could find my 2nd IMEI, I was thinking about using a backup phone's IMEI if it was necessary. I am not gonna use the old phone anyway. Luckily, I found the right one.

Did you try this?

Hi, somehow the dc-unlocker cannot detect my Mediapad x2. I am sure all of the drivers are installed. But HCU client works for me.

I lost both my IMEI's as well but I'm not sure if my Sims work because I don't have a working one that I can put in the X2. I did retrieve one of my IMEI's from my Google Account history.

If you can't find your IMEI numbers, pull off the bottom plastic cover on your phone (just use your nail and pry it off) your IMEI numbers are in a sticker underneath it.

Generic IMEI problem. Need help !!

Ok guys heres whats up. I just noticed that my IMEI turned into generic 004999010640000. Im not sure if this happened when i tried to unlock my phone with SGS_Unlock while i was on Froyo, or did it happened when i flashed ICSSGS rom on it. I dont know if product code is still okay since im running ICSSGS and i dont know how to check it ICS. Well, phone is working perfectly fine, texts, call, data, everything is fine, but im not sure if the phone is still unlocked and i dont have any other sim to check it. I need to use this phone in Europe in couple weeks, so this is really important to me right now. So here is my question(s) :
Is there chance that my phone is still unlocked and is theere anyway that i can check it?
Is there any way that i can restore my original IMEI and then try to re unlock the phone ??
Hope u guys can help, cuz if u dont, i dont know who can
Have you tried simply rebooting our reflashing? This happened to me once and a reboot cleared it up.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
I had the generic IMEI number after unlock that is most likely the case with you. When you did the unlock did you back your efs data (nv_data.bin etc?)?
Enter *#7465625# with the dialer and if you see the following:
Personalization Status
Network Lock [OFF]
Network Subset Lock [OFF]
SP Lock [OFF]
CP Lock [OFF]
That means you're unlocked.

Flash back to a stock rom and see if it is correct then.
Best Case: It could be an error with how the ROM is reading the IMEI.
Bad Case: You're IMEI is borked but you made a backup of the original EFS
Worse Case: You never backed up your EFS but your .bak files in the folder are from the original date
Worst Case: You never backed them up, they're all the same date and your IMEI is toast
There are threads to possibly recover from the Bad and Worse case.
If it does end up being the worst case you can go to Mobiletechvideos.com and get the IMEI repair done by them. The owner is an XDA member and does a great job.
Take it from a guy who has tried just about every method out there to recover this on his own. If you don't have the backups you'll need to get it fixed by a professional.
You can try my video in case the intact nv_data.bin is still on your device. If not though you will need professional repair...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqLK_2I-SBM
EDIT: One important thing to note is that the generic IMEI is not black listed by many carriers here in the USA but will misbehave with many stock firmwares and many other countries in Europe and Asia do indeed block access to that IMEI as it's common for stolen phones to have their EFS deleted in order to achieve this number. It also may only be a matter of time before USA carriers begin to blacklist this number as well as surely they must see 1000's of duplicates just like it on the networks daily.

Unlocked bootloader but now I can't unlock SIM?

So I used to DesignGears method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672284 to successfully unlock my bootloader so I could install a custom ROM (CleanROM). Now I'm trying to unlock my SIM but after putting in my IMEI into CellUnlocker.net I got an e-mail saying that the first database returned a negative for my IMEI. Did unlocking the bootloader change my IMEI to something that would prevent me from unlocking my SIM and not change it back? Did I need to do them in a different order? Just concerned because I'm traveling out of the country tomorrow and need to get my SIM unlocked prior to leaving.

1. *#06# check your imei match your box
2. use the imei on your box to check on with cellunlocker.net
if those two doesn't match then...it changed your imei...else
if you can't get a unlock code with the imei on your box...it's some other issue lol...two people in general section had the same problem..

So don't have the box with me (it's at home) and I've removed the sticker so I'll have to check later. Do you know if the IMEI is changed during the bootloader unlocking process? If it did, can I use the IMEI on the box for cellunlocker.net even if that doesn't match one in my phone? I'm guessing the unlock code was hard coded to the original IMEI so even if my IMEI has changed, the unlock code that cellunlocker.net would provide should still work?
The unlock process doesn't change IMEI.

It hasn't so far. Well the unlock without htc dev method does but you're supposed to change it back after.
Well I used the process that included HTC Dev. I first used Spoof-CID.bat to get the token that I then input on the HTC Dev site. They sent me my unlock_code.bin. If this doesn't change my IMEI, then why wouldn't it be working through cellunlocker? I really need this unlocked before tomorrow morning.

Until you match the IMEI reported by the phone with what's on the Box, we can't know how to assist you.
It would make sense for that partition to contain your imei as well.
You're going to have to find a method to write back the backup on your sd card
The method you used made a backup of the partition before it changed it
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Another user posted on here that he tried unlocking the SIM through several different online services. They all reported that the IMEI was too new, and he would need to wait until the IMEI database was updated. Might be your issue as well.
I agree you need to just check your IMEI with what is on the box. The numbers and bar codes on the sticker are also on the hBoot screen, so you can check that also. Don't think that will change if you screw with the IMEI.
Nevermind

I believe everything was wiped from my SD Card when I formatted everything prior to installing CleanROM. Now I'm really worried that this is a big issue, but as gunnyman said, I guess I need to just wait and see what my box says my IMEI is.
What I don't understand is even if my IMEI changed, wouldn't my unlock code already have been hard coded based upon my original IMEI, so if I used that (assuming it's different) in cellunlocker, I would think my phone would accept the unlock code? Does changing the IMEI in the phone change the unlock code as well?

Depends if your imei is also hard coded elsewhere

Well if it helps at all, the IMEI shown in HBOOT with the barcodes matches the *#06# number. Don't know if that's recoded. Guess I sit nervously until I get home to see if it matches that box. Not sure whether I hope it's the same or different, because if it's the same there is no explanation for why I can't get my unlock code!
Appreciate all the help and I'll chime back in once I check it with the box.

True. I guess what I meant to say is there is no fix for me by tomorrow if that's the case.
I am having an similar issue with my One X. I probably should have tried to sim unlock it before messing with the phone but its too late now.
What I mean by messing with: Unlocked bootloader, flashed kernel and installed new rom. After doing that I went to cellularunlocker.net for a code. They gave me a code with didn't work (ultimately got a refund). The very next day I got a friend who has AT&T to get the code. Turns out its the SAME UNLOCK CODE that the website gave me. Now I'm at my wits end.
Can someone please help me. I need this working before I go on vacation in a few days...

[Q] How to unlock bootloader from stock 4.2.1?

Go here:
http://www.asus.com/Tablets_Mobile/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/#support_Download_32
Go to utilities, download the unlock app V8 on your device, install and follow instructions. Be aware! No more warranty (depending on your location, mine was still under warranty after bricking mine flashing the wrong bootloader!), so make sure what you are doing after unlocking it. Read. After you think you've read it all, read a bit more! There are a lot of manuals out here to explain everything to you, but make sure that what you read is applicable to YOUR situation. I went wrong by installing a 4.0 bootloader after updating to 4.1. Installed the wrong CM, wiped and was bricked. So read, and read some more Good luck!
Oh, and after you've done all the reading and read some more, and you've decided that all you actually want is root access, you can go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982
It will explain you how to install TWRP on 4.2!!!! only!!!
After that, you can follow the rest of the info to get root or use TWRP for installing a custom ROM (like CROMI)!
Again, good luck
You can't load CM10.1 from the JB4.2.1 bootlader. They are not compatible. So that will be a fruitless task. Only CROMI and Energy Roms are compatible with the new bootloader right now.

Here we go!
Please prepare your device carefully. Deactivate your Google account firstly. Your device should be registered at the Asus server. If there are any issues, search the thread for "unlock"!
I've been trying to unlock for a couple of days. No luck though it keeps telling me there could be a network issue. I've read a few places that it's because the device isn't registered. When i try to register the device it tells me that it should already be under 'My Products' . I assume someone has already registered the serial. Though if its already registered then my device should unlock. I've contacted support hopefully they can get it registered properly then I can run the unlocker. If anyone has had any experience with this before please let me know. Thanks
I've been in contact with Asus support and they have sync's my device to their server with the MAC and Serial. The unlocker still doesn't work for me. Says network error. They asked if the motherboard has been changed. I don't think it has, but perhaps as it's the CN(China) version it won't unlock. Does anyone know a way to unlock without Asus unlocker?

Nope! There is no other way.
The trick is to factory reset the tablet, DO NOT GIVE IT A GOOGLE OR GMAIL ACCOUNT, then run the unlock tool! Good luck!
I have unlocked the TF300TG executing the unlocker tool v8 after removing the google account from tablet (without rebooting) with internet active.

Just doing a factory reset now. Asus support suggested that it could have been a MoBo change if there was an issue before, therefore the serial I gave them to activate/sync the tablet with their system would be invalid.

UPDATE: Same thing "unknown netowrk error". I guess i'm unable to sync this tablet with Asus server.
Is there another way to unlock the device without the unlocker tool?
Can't install any other ROMS or Google Play Store on this CN version, its making the tablet useless.

Did you provide to Asus the current SN of the devise? .
Please open Settings ->Status and pick up there the current SN and try the whole process again. Keep in mind there is no other way to unlock the bootloader.
Yes I provided them with the serial number (sticker on outsid of device). Also the serial number in Settings->Status. Also the MAC address in status. an App called King Root seems to have rooted the device.
I'm trying to get the play store working too.
Also Asus explained that the serial in status is not a valid one. I tried registering it myself andit does say that teh serial is invalid. only on the one on the ouside sticker is valid.
update: looks like it could be to do with being a refurbished unit, the serial starts with C2NK and does not register as valid. I found a thread about an ASUS Zenbook that serial starts with C4N0 and they were unable to register their device either.

Please keep in mind the current SN of YOUR Tablet is the number shown in "Settings -> Status" not on the sticker. So you have to register your tablet on Asus website like a new one after exchange MB. Seems you never did.
PS:
※Version V8_For Android 4.2 only works with TF300T 4.2 JB of TW,US,WW CN SKU. It won’t work on other devices.
Thanks for your help.
Yes I tried to register with that serial, it's unrecognised by the website and by the support team.
I read another post somewhere who has the same issue, both our serial numbers start with a similar sequence of letters.
Another user suggested this can be when a service center that Asus use - use a different unofficial manufactured part. This would be why Asus do not recognise the serial number. I bought my device refurbed so I guess this has happened to mine.
Reference:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/cannot-register-with-asus.673127/
:good:
Hence I need a different unlocking method. Which seems one isn't available.
Does anyone know how to get the play store working? Without unlocking? Root only?
Perhaps I need to somehow change the serial number like this:

You are welcome! However using the "Thanks" button is also greatly appreciated.
Your issue is really confusing. To clear it up I would like to recommend to you to write an email to Asus Support in order to report your issue. Provide the WiFi MAC address and the current SN (Settings -> Status ->SN) of your device. Ask them to be so friendly to unlock your device. In general it takes a few days and hopefully your tablet will be unlocked.
Yes I have done exactly that. They were very helpful over several days of communication. They told me the details are invalid even in the screenshot I sent, and that they suspect a repair on the mb or swap was done.
I've found several posts with this issue in fact with a different model.
Thanks for trying. If someone knows how to change the serial number on my device that's be great, it seems doing that may fix the issue. Some users have had success using ratchet (from my earlier post https://github.com/AndroidRoot/Ratchet/blob/master/ratchet.c)
I got this tablet from my work. I'm trying to unlock the bootlaoder but no sucess... Might asus servers has been down? This tablet's from 2012, so I don't except thaht kind of services/apps using network to unlock/register are working by now?
I read on this thread to remove google account / hard reset the tablet.It didn't helped.
If anyone has somthing to try, i will. May ADB/Fastboot command will help?

IMEI - one or two?

Hey guys. Could you check for me if your Device (preferably GEM-702L) has two IMEIs or just one? I have the problem, that after messing with magisk i need to enter NCK code to unlock and I'm unsure if NVRAM is damaged or if its normal that it shows only one real sim and another one consisting only of zeroes.
Thanks!
Same here. Still try to figure out how to get the second imei back. I really don't suggest Huawei mediapad x2 owner to try magisk. Too late for me to know that.
For the NCK issue, use DC unlocker, create an account when buying 4 credits, put the phone into manufacturing mode (via the dialer menu, find a DC unlocker guide). Comfirmed to work, but I'm afraid that IMEI is lost forever

Imei lost in rom installation, unable to recover

I got this phone on ebay, it was listed as "broken with a clean imei and unlocked" but when I got it, what I received was a "clean" imei, as in the imei wasn't there. I was able to recover the imei in other devices, but here on this device I can't, no matter how hard I try, enable diag mode or, in that case, do anything to come close to modify the imei code. It is written on the back of the phone, and I even opened the phone itself, in order to check if some modem cables were disconnected (which isn't the case). I hope that I didn't get the category wrong, and that you can help me. I was thinking of restoring the phone to stock fw, but I don't think it will change anything. For additional info, every code that i found online crashed my phone, and writing *#06#* returns a blank screen with only "imei" and no actual code. Thanks again in advice, please help me.

most of the replays are pointless. the efs partition is wiped. You need something to rewrite the efs partition to restore imei.

I didn't know all these things when I bought the phone, but now I can't send it back at the other side of the world
