Probably Android's /EFS partition got lost when flashing. Have you backed-up it?

I have a problem with a chinese dual sim it's a STAR B97 MTK 6575... AFTER A FACTORY RESET , i got a invalid imei.

I have the new X920 (butterfly clone) MTK6589, and I have this invalid IMEI issue. I can manually get this fixed through your guide entering the engineer's mode. But everytime I reset to factory settings, the invalid imei error comes up. Is there a way to fix this permanently?

i'm also suffering with the same problem but i did not find any perm sol.
i think
it can be done if you have any previous backups of data partition before the invalid imei problem occured.

Question How to restore IMEI + mac address?

Hello!
I wanted to change my MIUI version from global to eu, so I installed TWRP and flashed the rom. The problem is that somehow while doing this it wiped the IMEI, and wifi/bluetooth mac address. (so it doesn't see sim cards, and wifi networks)
Is there any way to restore the factory IMEI + the mac addresses? (I have them written down, and on the box)
And how to make sure that I don't wipe these things again?

Seems so. Don't know if it can even be restored or not if you have backup.
And if I haven't backed it up, is there a way to download it? Or is there any other way? Or is my phone broken?

No way to download it.
No legal way to repair it.
Warranty does not cover to repair it free of charge.
Broken modems.

Question Nokia 2.2 t-1188 varient null imei fix plz help

Hello so I was using the phone as casual but suddenly during some call the phone cut off and there was no signals or sim card showing so I check the call app and check the IMEI and it was null I don't know how this happened so I reinstall firmware even factory reset but couldn't fix it so plz somebody help me to fix this phone imei the phone is rooted by magisk but twrp is not installed so plz help me what do I do...
If you haven't backed up the /EFS and/or /NVRAM partition where phone's IMEI is stored before re-flashing phone's Stock ROM then you have lost, unless you have the box at your hands with which phone has been delivered: IMEI should be printed on there.

If Windows Device Manager shows you an unusable driver is installed then this has nothing to do whether driver is signed or not. It simply means the driver isn't suitable.
You have to install the USB-driver suitable to your NOKIA device:
Download Nokia USB Driver for Windows (Latest Driver)
Download the latest and original Nokia USB Driver to quickly connect any Nokia Smartphone and tablet to the Windows Computer.
