Null IMEI Fix? - Planet Gemini PDA Questions & Answers

My Gemini PDA is suffering from missing IMEIs, due in no doubt to an issue while I was trying to update my device. At present, I have a pure Android installation, which appears to be operating 100% fine (including WiFi). The only issue is that there are two missing IMEIs, so no telephony.
I sadly do not have a backup of NVRAM, so I am presently dead in the water. I have looked at several MTK IMEI writers, but I cannot get anything to work. Much of the software to manipulate MTK-based devices appears woefully out of date.
Can anyone help? I thank you in advance.

I'm assuming you already saw this?

Great news -- I reached out to Planet's support team, and after providing them with a scan of my label (to provide the IMEIs), bluetooth and MAC addresses, they produced an NVRAM file along with detailed flashing instructions.
Kudos to Planet for great support. I have never received this kind of assistance from any other OEM. Needless to say, I immediately signed up at Indiegogo for the Cosmo as a way of saying thanks.

Sorry but I can't find any contact form or email. Could you show me the exact way to contact them?
Or help me with sharing download instructions and NVRAM backup?

I contacted support via email to [email protected].
Note that the NVRAM partition is unique to a specific phone, since it includes your IMEI as well as other unique information. I did not try to dissect the file to see how hard it might be to adapt it to another device.

The method on this XDA Thread works fine for me.
I confirmed my Gemini 4G shows my IMEI on Setting->System->About Phone->Status->IMEI Information->IMEI (Slot 1)
[GUIDE] Restore IMEI number after an NVRAM clear
This thread will go over restoring the IMEI number if you cleared the NVRAM (or fully formatted your phone). The official tool to use is the SN Writer tool from Mediatek but as the P60 processor is not compatible with that, I had to search for...

ok i used to have wm6 offical rom, i bought software and they give me licence code depend upon another code generated by my device
the problem when i changed to another rom the code my device generate has been changed so the other code not accepted this software works when i have the offical rom
I don't think there's a way to "recover" the old code. I suggest you contact the software vendor, explain your situation, and ask for a new license key.
i will do,thanks

Also, many codes are based off of the "Name" you enter in user section of the phone. If you go to the settings, you can set owner info. Try to set it back to whatever it was. Some keys are generated off of the phones internal ID as identified by the ROM (like TOM TOM), but you cannot fix that.

Samsung Taylor 7004 ROM

I'm looking for 7004 ROM update for Samsung Taylor (I received version #7003 only). Anyone can share please?
Unfotunately this device (and my LG Panther ) hasn't the public update or firmware (but microsoft has, i saw). Mb you will be more lucky than me, that will be great!
I believe if someone could make a full backup of Taylor with 7004, we'll be able to use that backup as Zune's "restore" option.
i think the device backups are specific to the device, and not universal like a system dump would be...but i could be wrong.

I don't know, exactly. But I always have a hope - at least we can try... We need only one thing - good guy with ver. 7004 on his Taylor

That's impossible, cuz backups are binded to the specific device id.

Could you tell me, how it's bound? If it's only folder name (GUID name), properties.xml and ActiveID.dat files, we can try to replace Data folder only.
BTW, without real data (he-he, no enthusiasts with 7004 at all!) it's useless conversation
All data encrypted there with AES256. Key seems is inside device. I doubt it's same for all devices of same type. It should be generated from HW info.
Has this been found yet? I'm having the same problem sensboston is.
No questions in the development section Please!
Same rules to all users.

DB files for SN write tool

Have flashed RC 5 onto my Jiayu s3. All seems to be good.
But want to write my IEMI numbers into the phone. My problem is when using SN write tool it asks for MD1_DB and AP_DB files. Apprently they are with my phones firmware. I can't find on my computer or the internet.
Can anyone cast some light on this please.

Ken, each time people explain how to manipulate IMEI some moderator kicks in and closes thread. Once it was argued such is illegal. Of course the law differs from country to country.
Perhaps you were lucky to have a typo so the moderator tools did not spot your request.
Maybe it is not forbidden to PM you instructions. I will do so now and others may do same.

Dears - Help - Unlock Moto G 5

Dears,
I got my cell phone stolen, IT'S MYSELF!
It is now blocked and a colleague has informed me that I need to downgrade it to gain access.
I have seen the official steps of google, to enter the site of recovery of the account, to signal the account there and to wait for 24/72 hours, however I want to solve now.
Can anyone pass the steps to do here by the pc?
I do not master android but I am a programmer.
Tks,
Fernando Santos
I think you are asking for FRP (factory reset protection) bypass. This is when you have forgotten the login for the google account on the device.
There a difference between the different G5 models so I suggest you search on your device model for FRP bypass.

I had performed a quick search regarding the...
Alcatel Linkhub - 4G LTE Wireless Gateway Modem Router (using EE Logo)
Model Name : EE Alcatel HH70VB
Model Number: HH70VB
... and I had located the following link that may not be your exact question but, it looks like it includes information that you may be looking for (though there's a handful of posts there that may/might also be helpful as well).

I had also located the following link that could also be helpful/useful to you too (in some way).
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/10/26/ee_4gee_hh70_ssh_backdoor/
I couldn't, personally, locate any threads on the XDA Forum but, just because I couldn't locate anything, doesn't mean there isn't anything here.
This is the best guidance I, personally, can provide you with and I'm hoping that it was helpful for you to get what you need.
Good Luck!
