Do you have factory/PhoneInfodisk/PhoneInfo_inf file? If yes, you can recovery Serial number, wi-fi mac,bt mac by editing it with HEX editor, I not sure, you may use even text editor. If no, you should to get this file from other device. Also you should to write your Serial number to factory/PhoneInfodisk/ssn. I suppose you can try to flash this service firmware, this firmware add Virtual Serial COM Port for working Digma sofia recovery tool- thats all.

Firstly thank you,
In short I say,
Mistakenly I erased all the partitions that includes
System,Factory,Config,ADF,ADP using CWM Recovery advance mode .
After that I flashed a stock rom to unbrick the phone from previous bootloops caused by FOTA update on the rooted device. After that my phone booted but no imei and info.
So I think my factory partition is empty as I formated it
And the firmware you provided is for ZE551ML 4Gb Ram variant while mine is ZE550ML 2Gb Ram.
Will flashing this work for my phone or if you can kindly provide me the Digma servicing firmware for my device!
Again thank you

There's no factory/PhoneInfodisk directory showing in root explorar

Don't be afraid, you may flash service firmware from my post via asus flash tool from fastboot mode! This firmware need ONLY for activate Intel virtual COM PORT in device manager on PC, for using Phone Tool 191, no need use phone on this firmware . after repair of your imei1 you should to flash user RAW firmware for ZE550ML -that's all. For repair imei1 no need factory partition, both sim card will be become work, simple you will not have your serial number (it will be 111111) and mac addresses will be not sibling from box of phone, they will be random generated. WI-FI and BT will be work on it too

Perfect this ended up working on my phone (ZE550ML), flash the service file in the link using Asus Flash Tool, connect to Digma, you dont need to intall the drivers. Follow the pdf to change IMEI, use google translate it works good, remember to omit the last number in your IMEI.

Why do you want to restore? Did you format your phone with SP Flash Tool?

yes i did , with option (format all + Downoad) because my 2nd SIM didn't work after I flashed lollipop ROM ,it shows "Slot2: no SIM detected" when the phone boot or when I insert the SIM .
So I thought it maybe solve it but it seems that it became more complicated .
is there any way I can restore my IMEI first then we may talk about the 2nd SIM ?.

Send a screenshot of the MTK drivers you have installed
I attached a screen shot for the driver you told me to install (Gadget CDC VCOM) .
and I deleted the driver which i used with SP flash tool (MediaTek USB VCOM ) to avoid any mistake .
note : when I connect the phone to write the IMEI, it instantly starts up and boot in download mode and anew device
shows in device manager named HTC like you see and the attached image .

Actually both drivers are needed.

Install these drivers:
MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port
MediaTek preloader USB VCOM Port
MediaTek USB Port
and its working again .. after I installed all the drivers you gave me .
I'm very thankful .
can you suggest for me the reason why I suddenly cant use the 2nd SIM after I flashed lollipop
for the first time ?? it shows notification when phone start up "Slot 2 : No SIM card detected Please check if the SIM card is ready" is it related to flashing the new ROM OR it's hardware issue ,knowing that when I pull the SIM and reinsert it ,the notification appears again .
Note : I flashed many ROMs including the stock with variety options (format all + download ..)
and not worked .
again ,thank you very much .

First, Just to confirm were you able to write back the IMEI numbers?
And does Slot 2 work on the Kitkat firmware?
-Yes i was able to write back the IMEI numbers by folowing the steps you mentioned and installing all the drivers you mentioned an all previous comments .
-Actually No, slot 2 doesn't work with any ROM . Is there any software-related action i can do before starting hardware check for the slot 2?
-filnally after I did (format all + download) a few days ago ,
An error stars appearing between Wifi networks says"NVRAM warning : Err = 0x10" as a network !! As you see in attached screen shot .
My Apology for annoying but HTC is hard to work with .
I think that is likely a hardware issue. Did it start after you formatted the phone with SP Flash Tool?

Yes it was started after I used SP flash tool for the first time to flash lollipop rom ([STOCK LOLLIPOP 5.0.2] RUUs, OTAs AND GUIDE [DESIRE 820s] MT6752 (WWE vision)) .
for the first 30 seconds of first lollipop boot, I was able to see the second SIM and then it disappeared till now .

[GUIDE][FAQ] [ze551ml] (my) Sim 1 no signal/no network [FIX]

BEFORE YOU READ THIS ARTICLE:
- This is not a step by step explanation. There are already published tutorials with very good explanations. However, I will share my own experience and try to guide you and solve the problems you may encounter when unbricking your phone.
Said so,
I wanna thank you all for the effort you put in to demystify the unbrick of this beautiful smartphone. However, some of us have experienced problems after all those steps.
So, for those of you who have these problems:
MY IMEI IS 0049... -----> search for a tutorial on how to use PhoneTool 191. You have 2 options - (1) Install a SERVICE ROM (already rooted) and change both IMEIs (using setprop to change the target IMEI) or (2) ROOT your current ROM and use ADB with these commands - adb shell | su | setprop system.at-proxy.mode 1 (for SIM 1) and setprop system.at-proxy.mode 3 (or 4) for SIM 2.
MY SIM 1 IS "NOT INSTALLED" ------> If you suspect it is not a hardware problem, then deactivate SIM 1. Remove SIM Card from Slot 1. Then, activate SIM 1. Insert Card and wait for PIN insertion. Keep trying this or alternatively insert SIM Card on SLOT 2. Then insert PIN. Deactivate SIM 1. Remove SIM Card from SLOT 2. Activate SIM 1 and after the message INSERT SIM 1 on SLOT 1. It should ask for a PIN. At least on my case using last WW ROM 5.0 (UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.198-user.zip) .
MY SLOT 1 ALREADY ASKS FOR PIN BUT I SEE NO NETWORK/CROSS ON THE NETWORK ICON -----> if your IMEIs are already the right ones/not blocked in your operator, you should check if your PHONE's SERIAL NUMBER is correct. If it is not, there is a file called factory.zip where you can alter file "ssn" and file "PhoneInfo_inf" to your correct serial nr. NOTE: YOU MUST USE AN HEX EDITOR CAUSE "ssn" file should finish the serial number with an HEX "0A". Reboot phone and everything should be fine.
IF THERE IS STILL NO NETWORK.. and probably your phone is a CN version (like mine), you SHOULD UNLOCK BOOTLOADER. I wasn't able to do it with the official APK, probably because of my bad serial (even after I corrected it with the method described). So I googled it and found some nice tools: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenf...odder-t3458145. Use the "UNLOCK.bat" file.
- After unlocking bootloader, when the OS started, my phone started to gather network on SIM 1!!!
If you have questions or doubts and need a more detailed explanation, feel free to post it here. I will try to help you out. And btw, if you cannot repair your serial using ASUS FLASH TOOL (AFT) and a RAW file of an original ROM, probably the bootloader is locked and you need to change the serial manually (you must copy factory folder of factory.zip file into the root path of your phone and of course, change ssn and PhoneInfo_inf files using an HEX Editor like xview32 freeware like I said before).

I hope you can fix your SIM 1 SLOT :good:!
