open phone tool and use it with sofia's pdf help.
Note:for who persons that port dont open (freeze in settings(1/3) : You are using android 6.Yes?!
Android 6 dont allow to ports to open.you will need to downgrade to android 5.just in android 5 you will be able to use phone tool and ports will be active.

Asus flash tool showing failed

hi..i have hard bricked my asus zenfone 551ml 4gb/32gb.lost bootloader,recovery everything.set was just vibrating and black.then used xSTFS loader and now regained bootloader..but when i try to flash raw image via asus flash tool it shows FAILED(wrong image format).i tried several times but same.it shows my serial no 123456789ABC..now i m really puzzled what to do.as most who bricked their set were succeded by this method here..so what should i do now? i dont have any asus centre here.plz help.thanx

serial number 123456789ABC is normal if you have ever used xFSTK program to reload the entire boot chain.
I gathered from the internet that Asus Flash tool will hang after it reloads the correct serial number. It thinks it is communicating with a phone that has SN 123456789ABC but then at some point the phone switches SN and Asus Flash Tool hangs.
You can get around this hang using several methods
1) restart computer after asus flash tool hangs
2) use second computer to load RAW image after asus flash tool hangs
3) Going into Windows Device Manager and disabling the Android bootloader device then re-enabling it (after asus flash tool hangs)
You can tell Asus flash tool is hanging when you run "fastboot devices" command and you see a device that is not serial number 123456789ABC
RAW image (to my knowledge) is only for xFSTK program.

can you tell us what u have done to fix it??
i am facing something like you, cannot flash using AFT because after i click start on AFT, it always show "Flash image failure (FAILED (wrong image format))"
tried download raw file few time, in case corrupted, different version and different AFT version, run as administrator but still no luck still showing the same error
in fastboot mode, my serial number is looks normal but "bootloader version - unknown"...
i wonder if the phone bootloader have been unlock, so it cannot be flash using AFT.

you refer to the step "Flashing Firmware Without AFT", right??
because the phone which i wanna flash is not bricked yet, it still can turn ON normally. i just cannot hearing call in and out (not hardware problem since i still can hear and speak if calling using apps like Whatsapp, BBM, IMO or other chat apps). and also the IMEI of SIM 2 is unknown/Null...but the SIM 1 still can be used and the IMEI is there...tried update to latest OTA didnt solved it, so i think maybe need to be flashed using AFT.
so i did not do the steps before it...i wonder if it still OK??...

Lost IMEI Vernee Apollo MT6797

I accidently completely wiped and bricked the phone when trying to update the recovery through SP Flash Tool.
Now there isn't any IMEI and have tried fixing it with the following but still comes up with invalid IMEI:
SN Writer
IMEI&SN Writer
Chamelephon
Openening Engineering Mode doesn't have any option for CDS to re-write the IMEI.
I have the original two numbers as well.

I managed to write the IMEI with *#6813#
Any idea why calls go straight to message bank when calling this phone?
I am unable to call out from it either.

change imei

Is there any possibility to change imei on Redmi Note 8 Pro. I already've rooted and twrp'd it.

Surely there's a way, but should you actually do it? Of course not.

Why not? There are good reasons to do it!

Yes, you can and it's very easy.
This tutorial shows how to change the IMEI with and without root: naijaknowhow.net/how-to-change-imei-of-all-mtk-android-devices/

Since it's MTK sure there is a lot of ways to do it but are you sure?
Changing IMEI is illegal in most countries / will break your ability to call, sending / receiving SMSs.
Except if yours was null/invalid (multiple zeros) and you want to change it back.

@saurik
Doesn't work, very old tools, not that easy like you guys write.

Have you tried maui meta?

Version 10.1816.0.1 just says boot, phone turned off, nothing happens anymore. I boot manually nothing happens in the tool
1920 the same and I got connection with the Redmi via W10, I can for example upload files onto Redmi

This is the right tool. I just rewrote my IMEIs with it. Make sure you have device drivers installed or it will fail to connect.

Did it boot to meta mode?
Have you followed instructions? It is nearly the same in every video for IMEI changing.

On the Redmi Note 8 Pro, If you ever lose your IMEI and have a full TWRP backup, restore the following partitions:
- nvcfg
- nvdata
- nvram
- persist
- protect_f
- protect_s
Most notable protect_f and protect_s. This apparently contains modem files. Restoring the others fixed an issue where it didn't ask for MIUI account login after factory reset.

m1906g7g this is my device, maybe I need other drivers? I tried so many. For example "mt67xx USB Vcom" and others.
Doesnt work, of course with Win10 I had to disable "check driver signature". I disabled, that is ok now, but still, which drivers do I need? I use Modem Meta 1920 and it always stands on "Boot..."
CANNOT FIND THE PRELOADER/BROM COM PORT to boot ...pls check USB Driver Version...
When I put preloader USB Driver in Device-Manager, then it says error 10

VCOM MTK drivers i believe

DUT IN META MODE! it goes to 19% at least....
XTM_Miracle Thunder 2.82, did something "done" but nothing happened, same IMEI

Just curious? What would be the benefit if any to changing your IMEI?
Not seeing a point to it. I had an old Lenovo K3 note an from time to time my IMEI would dissapear an I had a devil of a time getting SMS or calling to work when it did.
Luckily some kid on YouTube invented a software that replaced the default IMEI. An only then the cell worked.
So if removing it causes that many issues then why change it?

hello
yes there is a way.
first of all you have box like UMT Pro.
then you can. its complicated but you can
and you have to flash ENG firameware.

Did you mess up the imei files or is it a blocked (reported stolen) phone? Discussing imei changing is not appreciated and most times even not allowed to discuss on XDA.

in Türkiye goverment doesn't allow phones that brought from abroad. you have to pay lots of taxes. almost as much as phone price. thats why people trying to change imei.

I have Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 PRO GLOBAL bootloader unlocked, TWRP installed, Android 9 , MIUI 11, ADB and Fastboot see the phone and allow access, I need change IMEI, Modem META 10.1952 see the phone VCOM allow access to phone, IMEI data read from phone and Update parameter tool allow data read from phone and store. But when I have changed data serial and imei and write to phone back Modem META indicate upload compleate OK. But after reboot in phone when I turn it ON stay the original parameter phone not changed parameter.
what do you thinking about whay to change IMEI and Serial

I have a redmi note 8 pro, hacking * # * # 4636 # * # * for reasons it does not support the vodafone italia "volte". i disabled dsds now i no longer have access to sim 2 or imei of sim 2 has also disappeared and there is no way to restore it in the menu. can you help me? i have imei 2 written in the package. Thank you PS miui 12.04.0 eeu no root!
