I have a Star N9500 (malware/spyware/virus free from day one, incidentally)
and just performing a factory reset wipes the imei numbers, requiring them to
be flashed from backup using the method above.

Another method I used previous to this one required a program called “droid
tools” which allows each imei to be entered manually. Like the method
above, a reboot is required for the change to take effect.

But why does this imei loss happen in the first place? I’m a serial tinkerer
and enjoy any opportunity to fool around with my phone. I’ve lost count of
the number of times I’ve flashed a new rom or opened it up to have a look at
the components. Like many other owners, I’ve fallen foul of the inevitable
cracked screen on my N9500 due to the glass not being toughened. But
unlike the vast majority of those unfortunate owners, I have simply ordered
and fitted a replacement rather than suffer on. But when it comes to the
internal rom on these phones, I am clueless when it comes to the actual
android modifications made to the custom roms I’ve installed. Almost all of
these are customised versions of roms which have shipped with other
Chinese phones with the same chipset or merely with a new skin applied. But
each rom comes its own unique coding bugs, leading to hardware component
failure, such as gps not working etc. And, of course, the imei loss.

Needless to say, I have always reverted to the rom which shipped with the
phone as it just seems to work much better than any custom version. But the
imei loss always remains even after reverting to the factory rom or flashing
an nvram backup. So something fatal has to have happened for this to occur.
It would be nice for the manufacturers to say what causes this and how it can

be permanently repaired. But they seem to court anonymity with none ever
issuing so much as an update.

The file MP0B_001 in /nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/ (unaffected
by factory reset) and /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/ (replaced
with previous after factory reset) gets wiped out. This file stores the
IMEI in MediaTek-based phones.

You may need to restore the NVRAM. In that case, you will need
someone else with the same phone to do a NVRAM backup for you
with MTK Droid Tools.

How To Fix Repair Generate Invalid IMEI Tutorial On MediaTek / MTK Phones – GizBeat

OS MTK6572 Dual Core 4.3 Inch Screen


The specs claim it to be 1.2 GHZ. It’s really a 1.0 GHz

I get invalid IMEI on almost every code. I did a factory reset. That doesn’t
work. The system files that I had edited are still exactly the same as I edited
them, after doing a reset.

It has android 4.2.2. I was so let down by android. I find it to be under


developed and actually pretty lame.
The phone is always out of room. The sdcard is always “damaged” and has to
be formatted, so keeping stuff on this phone is a joke.
Send more than 50 texts and it is out of room
Install more than 5 apps its out of room.

I’m not a big phone person. I ran an iPhone 3GS up till 2 weeks ago, but
today, I put my old sim card back in my 3GS and am happy again. It might
be old, but it works and has never run out of room.

Hi,

After entering new IMEI # in Step 6, how to save it. I am wondering how to
save the new IMEI number in Engg mode. Please help. Hitting on Engineer
Mode – Engineer Mode (MTK) – Connectivity(Tab) – CDS Information –
Radio Information – Phone 1 – AT+ to AT+EGMR=1,7,”New IMEI#” –

You can try to write IMEI through MTK Droid


Tools. The video is here. Here also is the written
tutorial and all files needed.

If it doesn’t work for you, you will need a


backup of your NVRAM, or MAYBE a full
firmware upgrade of the stock firmware can fix
it.

PJ - October 18th, 2014 at 3:10 am


What if I don’t have such backup? I upgraded the
ROM but not without first using twrp to do a
backup… unfortunately, it didnt backup
everything. Is there no solution for this?

Damian Parsons - October 18th, 2014 at 3:15

Try links I previously posted. If it doesn’t work,


then you need NVRAM backup or possibly a full
factory ROM restore may fix it as well.

Thank you very much for your help. :)

Damian Parsons - October 18th, 2014 at 5:58

Did you follow the entire tutorial? Rooted and


got root shell permissions through MTK Droid
Tools? If so, and it still failed then yes you will
need NVRAM restore or MAYBE a full factory
ROM update.

You will have to find the stock factory ROM for


your phone. I can’t help you there, you’ll need to
find it yourself. That may not fix your issue
though. You may need NVRAM backup. No,
you normally can’t use NVRAM from a different
model phone, but you can try if all else fails.
Good luck.

If the phone is rooted which I guess it is with the new rom
plug it in and open with the flash tools with the
MTKdroidTools.application found at two or three levels into the
unzipped file and it should allow the code to be put back in
make sure your root program (super user allows external application
commands)

NVRAM.

Hi Damian, do you know if the serial number of the device can be recovered
?? in my mistake flashing the original rom i accidentally erased all core info
like imei, nvram, mac adress etc etc, so allso my serial number has been
wiped. I am now concuering problems installing apps so i am guessing it has
something to do with the erased serial.. is it linked to the imei numbers ??
(the box where the phone came in is not damaged, but the sticker wich holds
the serial number is torn apart)

thanks for your opinion

Ok I can’t reply with many lines. I will try to enshort the post:

My solution, in two videos recorded rightnow by me:


https://www.dropbox.com/sh/gvwbxezukakr3p8/AADsMTwVGugLi_Gno6j
RzAKNa?dl=0

1. Download IMEIGEN from here (look for a download link, i cant paste it)

2. UNZIP it.

3. Execute imeigen.exe

4. A Green text console is opened. Then WRITE “Y” (YES)and INTRO

5. Console ask you for IMEI 1. write it and INTRO

6. Console asks you for IMEI 2. write AGAIN the same for YOUR SECOND
IMEI, if you got 2 SIM CARDS. If just got 1 sim, write the same imei.

7. The console creates Two more files in the folder where the “imeigen.exe”
is. The imei generated is “IMEI.BAK”.

8. VERY IMPORTANT: RENAME THAT FILE TO “MP0B_001”.

9. NOW YOU SWITCH YOUR PHONE TO PC IN FILE TRANSFER


MODE, OR USE ANY METHOD TO PUT THAT FILE IN THE
“DVRAM” FOLDER OF YOUR PHONE, THIS IS, GO TO your device =
“\data\NVRAM\md5\NVRAM\NVD_IMEI

10. You will see also the file “MPOB_001”, in that folder NVD_IMEI , so
now you have to RENAME THAT FILE TO: “MPOB_001_OLD” and leave
it there.

11. FINALLY you go to your PC , take the NEW RENAMED “MPOB_001”


born thanks to IMEIGEN.EXE and locate IT in the mentioned folder,
NVD_IMEI.

AFTER THIS, if you did everything OK, restart your phone. BINGO.

Hello Subhas,

Almost all MTK devices can change IMEI. Some of them need to be
rooted to do it easily though.
