IMEI MI5S - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Hello everyone I would like to share with you what I just found out, the xqcn file mi5s if open with notepad ++ contains two imei found through the conversion with converter IMEI can be traced back to the exact point of your IMEI just edit them and write your own, unfortunately I am having problems (4G network is not on the band 20 but never detects 4g networks on other bands and I found out that) I assume the procedure is the same as the mi5 I have not tried but would like to try a xqcn backup via QPST a mi5s which works well 4g and enter my IMEI number someone is willing to cooperate?

[KU990 New Version] Insert new IMEI in .nv2

Hi everyone,
I guess many of you are in huge pain with the KU990 new version, that is, the ones that cannot be unlocked using lg3g or mtty methods.
Here I would like to describe everything I tried so far and the current status I am locked in today.
My biggest mistake was to not backup my phone (the famous .nv2 file) at the very beginning ! I strongly advise people who wish to modify their phone somehow to first backup with LGMDP !! Otherwise you may end just like me...
I started with a SFR (VDF FRANCE) locked phone and, as I did not have the SFR sim card at that time, I tried to unlock it with both the lg3g and the mtty methods. Unfortunately the unlocking procedures did not work at all, although I ensure I tried everything. I finally read somewhere that the newest KU990 had a supplementary protection that could not be overcome.
In parallel I was able to manage to change the firmware to OPEN or VDF (EURO) versions ranging from v10a to v10j (using LGMDP). So it seems that there is no big issue there.
However at some point in the process (I guess the unlocking), my IMEI was changed. And my phone started to ask me to "Insert USIM card" or to refer to "Invalid USIM card" depending on if a sim was in or not. I understood that USIM was referring to international sim cards so I tried to reinstall VDF firmwares with VDF .nv2 and VDF Flex backups (still not mine), but this made my phone unusable as it displayed a nice yellow screen and the fact that some wallpaper file could not be found. Still I could solve this problem by I changing back to OPEN firmwares and .nv2.
Now I recovered the original sim card from SFR and was able to obtain the unlock code from their hotline. But as my IMEI has been changed, the unlock code fails now.
Thus I tried to reset or to change my IMEI back to what is written below the battery using either lg3g, mtty, QPST or NVEditor. This also leaded nowhere as even reading the IMEI with lg3g and mtty failed and as QPST and NVEditor revealed that the NV_UE_IMEI_I parameter was protected (NV_READONLY_S). I tried many different things with these tools but it does not seem possible to break the protection.
I guess my only chance now would be to insert my old IMEI into an existing .nv2 file. I have found some "NV2 - QCN TOOLS V1.4" that can do this but only on the KU20.
Does anyone has a tool allowing to insert a new IMEI in a .nv2 ?
OR
Did anyone go through the same difficulties and did finally find a solution ?
any help will be greatly appreciated )
please do not ask me how i did this or that for the moment, if I can solve my problem I will certainly return the favor to all of you later on.
Hello,
Have you tested the tools for the KS20, because the. NV2 is certainly quite similar.
@+
Thank you for your suggestion.
I tried the tool but first it returns a NV2 Status Error when I load any .nv2 file, second the IMEI is forced into 357323-01-XXXXXX whereas both my original and current IMEIs start with 353638-02, and third, although the tool indeed creates the file (I chose "Branded nv2"), the backup fails (LGMDP reports four NV ITEMs with NV_BADPARM_S with no more information) and I end up in Emergency mode.
A KU990 version of the tool might do the trick, if it is possible to specify the full IMEI of course. I can send my current nv2 file(s) if it can help anyone...
hi,

[Q] Corrupted/Bad/Invalid IMEI -- looking for another option.

Thank you for the read-visit.
I recently bought a second hand Tmobile Samsung SGH-T889 Galaxy Note II. Unfortunately,
I inherited a host of issues. The IMEI is corrupted. In this thread, I'm hoping to figure
out why I can't successfully write to the device. I will list everything that I've tried so far,
and to be honest, I really don't know what I can try next. Share your input please!
SGH-T889
Build Version: M9615ACEHWMAZD17513035
Version Dir ;: ACEFWMAZ
Firmware: T889UVALK8:_(4.1.1) (12/19/12) [FACTORY IMAGE]
Preface:
I read in a few other threads where people were having issues with the 4.1.2 firmware, so
I elected to downgrade to the 4.1.1 using a factory image by flashing using Odin 3.0.7.
I then used "Galaxy Note2 Toolkit" to flash root of the device while also including clockworkmod
recovery and busybox.
First Method:
After downloading and installing the Android Terminal Emulator, I tried to enter
the following code to write to the device:
su
echo 'AT +EGMR=1,7,"IMEI_1"'> /dev/pttycmd1
The device accepted the commands, but the write never occurred.
On the web, this solution is everywhere; however, I think that the
solution is specifically for MTK phones. In fact, the output command
"pttycmd1" isn't in the /dev directory or anywhere within the root file structure.
Second Method:
Accessing the hidden menu on the phone by entering *#7284#, I modified
the Qualcomm USB settings to allow for a serial USB connection.
I then used the "Qualcomm NV Tools," included in the fourth tab of EFS Professional
development software, to restore the backup IMEI to the device at the memory block located
at decimal address 550. The device accepted the command and I received
no indication of error, but the device was again not overwritten.
Third Method:
I installed RootExplorer application and used this tool to access the root directory and made
a copy of the EFS folder where I assumed the IMEI is stored. I then deleted the folder allowing
the system to recreate the EFS Folder after a reboot and a factory reset. I repeated the
previous methods, but I wasn't able to make a difference. Consequently, I restored my EFS folder.
Fourth Method:
I tried messing around with permissions allowing for read/write for the "efs" and "factory" folders
within the root file structure. Notwithstanding, I also expanded my read/write changes to the /dev/block folder focusing in particular on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3. (I read in another thread that the IMEI was stored in this block
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3.) Changing ownership of the files "owner" and "group" to root, I then tried writing to the device again using the previous methods mentioned, as well as fiddling around with another software called
"NV-items reader_writer v1.0," but all these approaches failed too.
Just as an added comment, I think that file manager such as Root Explorer re-mounts a read only root file
structure as a floating read/write. Therefore, while I think that I'm making changes to permissions -- I am, because I can see the change occur -- this change is actually temporary until the device is rebooted.
General Comments:
I suspect the GSM US variant of the Galaxy Note II is different, because I can't explain
why the device will not update the IMEI even with superuser rights. Along the way, I tried to
do a factory reset as well, but remember this approach made little difference since the device
was near factory settings from the onset since I just downgraded to 4.1.1.
Questions
Am I missing another method? please point me in the correct direction -- I'm stumped.
I value and appreciate any input in advance that you could lend.
when you first bought the phone and put in your t-mobile S I M card in it..
what happened .
are you sure its not a blocked imei phone.
this seems to be going around...
are you trying to use it on t- mobile ..
please post the original issue not just want you done to try and fix it..
Thank you for the reply.
This problem stinks.
I don't have a tmobile sim card. The phone is for Tmobile and I hope to use the phone on T-mobile's MVNO (mobile network virtual operator) SimpleMobile, a carrier that piggybacks on the Tmobile carrier. I have Simplemobile SIM card, which the device does not recognize. The network in the "About Phone" in Settings is listed as Unknown. I think that the phone is locked, but I thought that this issue is exclusive of my present dilemma.
So, what is preventing me from writing an update to the device? There are a couple of good Qulalcomm
tools on the market like DFS CDMA ver. 4.7.0.2 and Qualcomm NV Tools, but both of which
fail to restore the IMEI. Is this a CDMA vs GSM tool interface issue?
Where is the IMEI stored on the device? My efs/imei folder only has one file: "mps_code.dat"
(I guess NV_DATA.BIN file is not present for LTE users.)
Thanks again, in any case.
If I were you, I'd try writing the T889 NV backup from the AWS mod thread with QPST or QXDM. Then finish off with the IMEI using EFS Professional.
As you've noticed, no NV_DATA.BIN for our devices. The /efs partition isn't enough of a backup to fix things.
Information applicable to the N7100 is going to be useless here since it has an Intel baseband, as opposed to the LTE variants which run on a Qualcomm chip.

Thank you Dark Shado[w].
Fifth Method:
I used QPST configuration to establish a serial connection. Using one of the software's client applications called
QPST Software Download, I made a backup of NV Memory Files and then used a hex editor
to locate the IMEI number (offset 00001700 --fyi) and made the repair. However, when I attempted to restore the
file using QPST Software Download, the software failed to update the device. Take note that the software indicated the memory restore worked. However, again, I'm not sure what is preventing me from writing to the device.
Every editor or tool that I have used to interface with the device successfully reads the device but does not write.
In the Qualcomm USB Settings, I have chosen either "RNDIS + DM + Modem" or "DM + MODEM + ADB" settings.
I also try to make sure that "USB Debugging" is checked in "Developer options" in Settings. (This
setting appears to toggle depending on which USB serial setting is chosen.)
I began messing around again with EFS Professional. The problem with this approach is that the backup file is stored in the form of an image file. Unfortunately, I can't edit the image to repair the IMEI with a hex editor.
Previously the backup file was in the form of a bin or text format making the process of editing easy.
I also confirmed indeed that the address location of the efs folder including the IMEI is recorded in /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 for Galaxy Note II LTE variants.
Any other ideas? Is there any other toolkits that might be easier to work with?
Hey since you already odin 4.1.1 go ahead and unlock your phone using the free unlock method. Than try using your simple mobile sim again.

Hi G7Baker. Thank you for the reply.
I was not able to unlock the device using the *#197328640# approach.
The device is missing the "Press [4] NW LOCK NV DATA INITIALLIZ"
I read elsewhere that I needed to downgrade the device to 4.1.1 and this option
would reappear in the menu settings. Specifically, if I downgraded the modem from
4.1.2 to 4.1.1, this option would again appear. In my case, the option is still missing.
I figured that I would just focus on my corrupt IMEI before addressing the locking issue...but if you any ideas,
i am open.
I'll be blunt: you haven't listened to anything I've said.
Use the .qcn file from the AWS mod thread. Not yours hex-edited to contain your IMEI. You NV items are already messed up.
Toggling USB Debugging might undo the "RNDIS + DM + Modem" setting.
Use EFS Professional to type in (not copy-paste, it's a quirk in the UI) your IMEI, then write it. Make sure you've got the latest version, and that you're using the Qualcomm tools. Or hex-edit the file from the AWS mod thread since you're capable of doing so.
Ditch this "toolkit" mindset and get their actual components, latest versions, straight from the devs. You'll be able to check for issues in their respective threads as well.
Good luck,
Darkshado

Thank you Darkshado[w] for the advise.
Game plan
qcn generic file (binary format) --> modify imei in qcn generic file --> EFS Professional-Qualcomm (fourth tab) to apply Restore
Darkshado[w], I'm looking at the EFS Professional -- Qualcomm tab (fourth tab). Just to be clear, this tab has a
"Qualcomm NV Tools" button, to which I don't proceed. This tab has also a set of "NV Backup" and "NV Restore" functions. These functions are supported for US variants only. (The T-mobile T889 has a Qualcomm chipset Gobi MDM9215, making the device eligible, right? or I guess these tools are meant only for Sprint and Verizon variants only) These tools, I believe, are where you would like me to use to make my restoration possible.
Just to be clear, this Restore/Backup receives a binary file, opposed to "Qualcomm NV Tools" that receive a text file.
However, when I click on "NV Backup" or "NV Restore," the phone immediately reboots.
On the same page the following disclaimer is written "If these functions are not supported your phone will just reboot." My device rebooted and I can't use this approach for the moment.

I was searching the AWS thread to which you alluded.
On December 28, 2012, I saw that you posted a full NV backup, IMEI removed, at the following thread:
http://50.23.216.69/showthread.php?t=2068041&page=2
I downloaded your attachment and modified the TEXT file to include my repaired IMEI for the T889 and then used
EFS Profressional via "Qualcomm NV Tools" to restore to my device.
I made sure that the device was set for a USB serial connection,
since "Qualcomm NV Tools" would not make the SPC connection otherwise.
The restore procedure completed without any errors, but the device was not successfully written to...again.
---
I also downloaded the ATT_I317_AWSMOD_dumimei.qcn file from the thread. Using QPST via their client application "Software Download" I attempted to make the restoration.
I attempted the restoration twice using "RNDIS + DM + Modem" and "DM + Modem + ADB" settings. In the phone utility menu, UART was always set to "PDA" and USB was set to "PDA" as well. In both cases, the device was not written. The software indicated that the restoration was successful when in fact this case was untrue.
--
On the EFS Professional version2.0.062, I was able to generate backup files using the backup option located on the second tab.
For this backup option, I selected "International LTE Variants" for the "Device Filter." The software
generated one tar.gz file; however, when extracted, a efs.img file and four other bin files are revealed. Unfortunately, the image file of efs contains my corrupted IMEI, which I'm not sure how to edit. I tried to use Hex Workshop Hex Editor to edit the file but can't find the IMEI in this type of file. Alternatively,
is there a generic backup tar.gz of SGH-T889 that I can try to restore?

What are your thoughts? Please advise.

I later downgraded the firmware from T889UVALK8 to T889UVALJ1 of 4.1.1. The NW LOCK NV DATA INITIALLIZ
finally appeared and was able to unlock the device successfully. Awesome!
However, I'm still trying to figure why my NV Memory Block refuses to be written. Please share your input!
No solution ... yet.
I tried deleting the efs folder and then I went back through all the methods that I have discussed
really to determine if and when the device was being written. Trying to restore the efs folder from a backup
copy, my findings seem conclusive.
I found that the ONLY solution that replaced my efs folders was EFS Professional--Restore (third tab).
In my case, I'm just restoring my corrupt NV memory backup back onto the device, but this approach can
work for me. In all other methods that I employed, the device and software indicated that a successful update was
made but these cases are untrue; the device is not updated.
Where does this leave me? If I am going to flash my device using this restore feature of EFS Professional(third tab),
I need to flash a modified efs.img that is corrected for my corrupted imei.
Does anyone have a solution out there for the SGH-T889?

I learned today that someone claimed that this SGH-T889 device has a hardware security measure in place. The device has a chip that has the IMEI that is write/no-rewrite (eMMC?); therefore, successful service combines both a hardware and software approach. My "deep throat" operative also said that the IMEI for this particular device appears in five different places within the NV Memory block, making the repair not so trivial.
Can anyone confirm this statement? I can't find anywhere where this statement is validated.
I would have to call bulls..t on that, I lost my imei flashing a tmobile modem to get lte and was able to rewrite my imei and get it working. Took me 2 days and lots of messing around but finally worked.

Thank you Rail205 for your reply. Reviewing the thread that you sent,
I'm still not sure how I should proceed.
I was comparing my device allocation using the df command on the android emulation terminal .
# df
My partition allocations are consistent with jravi and darkshado[w] on the first page of the thread,
so I'm wary if I flash with an updated PIT file that this approach will make a difference.
My device is reading the correct internal storage for example.
To reiterate, if the block allocations are the same, can I assume that using a new T889V pit file
on my device the T889 will make no difference?
Currently, my device is now unlocked, rooted with a 4.1.2 OS.
The device has radio service.
Unlike everyone else who has been successful e.g. Darkshado[w] who has successfully
written an editable hex file or text file (depending on the method employed), my
device remains unmodified when performing approaches of this kind.
The only method that appears to work for me is flashing an image file
using EFS Professional (third tab).
This dilemma is the chicken / egg conundrum, how do I flash the device with the corrected img file
when I don't have a copy of an img file with the corrected imei with which to flash? Otherwise, considering
a no-img file approach, I could try to make the partitions writable (fyi I have used Root Explorer already to modify
the permissions of /dev/block, /efs and /factory before attempting an update -- you guessed it, no luck.)
Anyone, any thoughts? Anyone?
Success!
Sixth Method
NOTE: Please also refer to "Six Method. Addendum" post #21 located later in this thread. Both posts are critical to understanding the complete solution.
Well, I decided to go to one of these guys who advertise on Craigslist to repair corrupt IMEI. He claimed that he was using one of these boxes that reads and writes without technically flashing the device.
I sat with him for a couple hours, and, in the end, he could not do it! My IMEI went from some corrupted output to reading simply "0/9." At that point, I had limited phone service and mobile data EDGE only. The device had trouble finding the DM mode as well. (He felt so bad that he couldn't take my money, but this moment was also a validation for me that my device had a very specific problem, not a trivial contest in the least, but an awesome validation that this last week's efforts were not in vain: If the 'expert' can't figure this out, then where would this leave me?)
An important note worth mentioning is that the Craigslist guy downgraded my android OS from 4.1.2 prior to making modifications. Unfortunately,
I did not note to which version and build he downgraded. (My guess: most likely a build variation of 4.1.1 OS)
Anyhow, so I returned home and decided to get to work and access the phone through the service mode with the intention of rebuilding the NV memory block.
*#197328640#
[1] UMTS
[6] Common
[6] NV REBUILD
[1] Load defaut NV
This approach changed my IMEI from "0/9" to "0/0." Now, when I tried connecting to the device, the software read the correct DM Mode. (Interestingly, I still received limited phone service.)
I used a program called "NV-items reader_writer v1.0." Of the many programs that I tried, this program is super simple since the software output is text based i.e. you don't need a hex editor. The download link is here.
http://modemfiles.blogspot.com/2013/09/download-free-nv-items-reader-writer.html
I extracted the memory block from decimal address 550 to 550 and modified the block to read my non-corrupted IMEI. (I didn't need
to change root permissions or anything complicated like that, steps I performed in some of my previous method-approaches.)
My device finally was written and read the correct IMEI!
Thank you to everyone who contributed. My success is your own!
UPDATE:
So, as I mentioned above that I was receiving EDGE only and the carrier service was spotty. In the end, I realized that my NV Build was corrupted, and since I was now able to write to the device, I corrected this problem by referencing Darkshado[w]'s post.
On December 28, 2012, I saw that he posted a full NV backup for the T889, IMEI removed, at the following thread:
http://50.23.216.69/showthread.php?t=2068041&page=2
UPDATE: XDA admins have invalided the hyperlink to Darkshado[w]'s original post. If you require the text file, private message me with your email
and I will send you the same template file that he had originally made available. (edited 7/18/2015)
Using "NV-items reader_writer v1.0," I wrote to my device using the file provided by Darkshado[w]. Again just to be clear, I restored the entire NV build and only changed the IMEI block, which is located at decimal address 550. Now, my device is finally getting reliable connectivity at 4G speeds (only 4G, opposed to LTE, since I'm using a MVNO instead of a direct Tmobile plan). Anyways awesome still!
I'm glad you fixed it man!..you went through Hell fixing your phone.
I ALWAYS read and follow these "bad IMEI" threads to learn something "just in case" and I must say that your case it's the most complex (for me anyways) I've ever read.
Cheers to you!

The guy from Craigslist suspects -- mind you, he wasn't gregarious in the least-- he hinted that "the box"
was needed to break some kind of internal logical state between the device's IMEI and
T-mobile's network protocols. Once this state was broken, the device was receptive to being written.

I read on a thread that it could be because my chip is not Qualcomm. In fact my chip is Exynos. Is it the problem? Is there another tool that I could use? Thank you.
P.S: I'm running stock android 4.3. I also tried stock 4.1.2. Same result and Service mode just leads me to a black screen with Serviceode written on top.

I317 don't registred in network & does not have IMEI

Hello everyone!
Sorry for my bad english
I have the following problem:
I bought on eBay SGH-I317 from USA for use in 2G/3G networks in my country.
Phone finds the networks, but is not registred in them (available only emergency calls).
Later I noticed that the IMEI in the phone information is 0 (*#06# -> 0/02). I think that my operator does not take this IMEI and so it does not register in network the phone.
I tried all the ways how to repair EFS/IMEI, installed the stock firmware via odin, but nothing worked.
The phone has S\N, Wi-fi MAC and other information that is contained in the EFS, only not has the IMEI.
What else can I try to solve this problem?
I would be grateful if someone would send me your EFS backup of I317, so I can figure out which files in a folder EFS is missing in my phone.
I DID IT!
After "dancing with a tambourine" Qualcomm NV Tools has worked, and I was able to hand-write the original IMEI.
Please close this topic.

Corrupted MEID and ESN on LG G4 H815T, Need help to restore

Hi there,
Need a help of someone good at working with G4 unlocking. Here is the story of whole problem.
I bought an LG G4 from my local market. At the time of purchase it was rooted but not updated, so I thought to update it. I tried to flash it with Marshmallow kdz available at storage cow with H81520B_00, but may be I flashed my phone with wrong kdz file (as I was not aware of matter at that moment) which was not supported by my phone's model as my phone was H815T (HKG version). The flashing of wrong KDZ file changed the ESN, IMEI & MEID of the phone and replaced them with something that is blacklisted in international phone database. because of this reason now whenever I try connect my phone to the network with the sim installed, it doesnt show any connectivity and displays that service is disabled on the phone.
After this incident, I re-flashed my phone with correct kdz available for H815T model but the problem still persists.
Then in many forums I tried to find the solution to revert back my phone's ESN, IMEI & MEID back to the values printed on the back sticker of my phone pasted under the battery. Somehow I was successful to revert the IMEI of the phone back to original but I am unable to change the ESN and MEID values.
I have tried many ways. I tried to use EFS Explorer of QPST but in that, I found that the NV folder which includes the ESN and MEID values is locked and by applying all my efforts and searching everywhere, I am still unable to unlock this folder.
I tried DFS CDMA Tool, it shows my phone's info properly, but when I try to write the old values to my ESN and MEID areas, it says that the values have been written successfully, but when I try to read the values again to check whether they have really successfully written or not then the tool shows the previous corrupted values again.
I tried EFS Professional & CDMA workshop for the same reason and it too showed the same response as DFS.
I need a help from someone who can guide me that how can I unlock the NV folder of my phone and write the correct values of ESN and MEID of my phone back to it so that it can connect to the cellular network.
Apart from cellular network connectivity, all the functionality of the phone is perfectly fine.
Exactly same problem with my G4, only difference is that it connects to network and disconnects again and again. I am able to make/recieve call and sms when outdoors. Ut randomly drops signals even outdoors
