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 all and thanks for reading. I am hoping I can get some guidance and some sort of solution.
Long story short while in China I purchased a Y511-T00 instead of a Y511-U00. The first issue was upon returning home i realized I had no 3G. That I can live with using a MiFI device.
The problem I am facing is the Rom is laggy and it seems to be a half baked rom that was ported perhaps so the phone would be in english.
Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn do not stay logged in when I restart.
Launcher sometimes freezes or goes blank for about 5-10 seconds
Contacts dont always show with a number immediately.
I am desperately in search of a Stock Rom with the regular Huawei Emotion UI or any other rom that may be more stable and user friendly. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Alternatively does anyone know if i can use the U00 firmware on a T00 phone? I am worried I may brick the device if I start doing trial and error.
My phone details are as follows
Model Number : HUAWEI Y511-T00 (China Mobile)
Android version : 4.2.2
Baseband version MOLY.WR8.W1319.MD.TG.MP.V4.P18 , 2013/07/31 15:37
Kernel Version 3.4.5
Build Number : Y511-U30V100R001C328B120
Hardware version : VER.A

Anyone have any idea? I tried using google launcher but it tells me that I already have a default launcher and yet in applications there is no default set and the button is greyed out.
anyone idea please?
have the same phone which is rooted & I know of some stock ROMs which can be flashed with HiSuite.
I am a bit confused about what ROM you are running now, is it modded ?
I'll take a look at the build number you have specified and see what matches.
This phone is very low end Huawei.
Curious: What is the Build date ? (at bottom of about phone)
Well I have a copy of this ROM on my PC & it matches the Build Number (see screenshot) of what I have on my phone now.
It's stock but contains root too, so I have read. However I actually have not flashed my phone with this ROM.
It runs OK, some system messages still show in Chinese, but those are rare.
I rooted mine via an alternate method, I plan to slowly do some more tweaks when I have time
The ROM is around 270 Mb & another chopped version down I have is about 180 Mb
I cant see why you cant get 3G network, I am in Mainland China and have no real issues here, hope it works in Australia when I visit there.
With root I am sure you could tweak this.
My HuaWei USB 3g USB card works fine in Oz & China.
The primary use of this phone for me is to supply my 10" Tab 3 with 3G via WiFi.
Solution finally
After about 12 hours or so of trying different rom's namely u30 rom's including custom roms like Lewa Os. i realised that everytime my baseband would come up as unknown.
I finally used HUAWEI-Y511-T00 flash with SP Flash Tool to flash a basic T00 rom with no bloatware whatsoever just the core android apps.
I then used ES File, Framaroot and the South African system.img . I extracted all of the APK files from the system.img from the U30 rom and copied them one by one setting permissions to read, write - read - read for each Apk. I did a dalvic wipe and a cache wipe and restarted.
The end result is I know have Google Apps (the ones that I wanted) running perfectly with sync etc across all apps and my china mobile Y511-T00 now behaves like a normal y511-U00.
Points to note, you will need to backup your NVRAM so you can restore your imei and mac ID to get rid of the Warning NVRAM error. You will also need to write your original IMEI back use MKTdroid tools.
Custom rom's will not work, but I have set google launcher as my launcher and removed the regular launcher which I am happy with.
What ever you do, make sure you make a back up. The only thing I have not fixed is the startup animation and logo which i can live with. For UMTS / 3G I am using a mifi device that gives me 8 hours on the go but i barely need 3g as i use wifi more than anyting at home and office.
@ZWstyles
Yeah nice you have it sorted.
Still surprised you cant make use of 3G network natively in the phone do you have any ideas on that ?
Hi All, I am new on here and have a big problem! I have lost my IMEI numbers after flashing a custom rom to my android phome and can't seem to get them back here are the specs of the system.
Windows 10
Android 5.1 Custom or 5.0 factory Rom
Mlais M7 MTK6752 Smart Phone (NOT ROOTED)
I have tried using all the software options
Maui META - Can't get it to detect the phone
MTK Droid Tools - Detects the Phone But can't enter the IMEI Numbers (Button Ghosted Out)
I have tried all the options and web site links It seems that every step I take it just wont do it?
Anybody Help
Cheers
