i really need help!
Never flashed before - but you need a special file (nv?) that is unique to your phone. If you didn't back that up, yes you killed it ! If you did search XDA for instructions on how to restore it.
You can do this step to find your signal.
1.backup your ks-20 NV file,the file you can backup from firmware.
2.firm ENG rom and chose ERASE ESF.
3.complete the flash,you can go in the system,and find Windag_open.cab install on the device,and open engineer mode.
4.open firmware,only flash nv file,since reset ,you will find the signal.
I do this to find my signal
lol, He loss calibration data from handset!!!! If there is no service after flashing without NV backup, only way to resolve that problem to flash the NVRAM with backup of another handset and correct IMEI and BT address.
To everyone,
If u need .nv2 file, pm me with ur imei no. and email address, i can generate one for you, but the last digit, which is calculated by your phone, would likely to be different and also i can only generate branded .nv2 since i only got branded .nv2 file. It could be work in unbranded phone but just u need to flash a branded rom or hybrid rom to use with it.
thank you raykisi you are the best it works 100%.

LG KS20 Network Problem
I have read it. Again, many thanks, specially to you; everithing from there was very helpfull.
I will give you the IMEI number: 357323-01-137914-1
I have managed to write the IMEI to the phone with QPSt; do i need to do something else?
If i conect back with QPST shows the IMEI (without the last digit)
Unfortunatell i don't have a valid backup for the nv file
Any help will be great
Ths in advance
Hi raykisi,
I still have my .qcn file... but what I'm trying to do is a little bit different: put a KS20 rom on a MS25 mobile (similar mobile that we have here in Brazil).
I tried to recover my network config using my qcn backup but I couldn't...
My phone always shows "No Service".
Tooo bad...
;(
Hope you can help me...
Thanya
What does ERASE EST do? Why would you think this whole procedure will help find the signal? I asked because my KS20 doesn't find any signal in a lot of places but my wife's KS20 does. I am wondering if there is anything I can try to resolve my problem. Thanks.

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
Protik
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.
Hey
I want to run QPST and my phone is detected in the COM in device manager (also at the top of device manager).
But when i add the port in QPST it detects 'No phone' but i can still add the port.
Making a backup etc in QPST doesn't work because of this.
Anyone with more knowledge who knows what i have to do?
I installed the universal LG drivers en did the commands (adb shell, su and setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb).
Thanks in advance!
The 3 images are screenshots of the windows.
Update
I got to the part were you can enter your IMEI but the phone couldn't write the IMEI.
THere was a long eroor message and this was part of it: 'reason other than nvm was full'
Hi, disconnect internet, turn off all security like firewall and virus checker and try again.
youtube video shows device like image attached.
Otherwise no idea

Hey guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but even for legitimate purposes, people really hate when you talk about repairing IMEIs here. It's questionably illegal even if you're "repairing" it. If you're cloning it, it's super federally illegal.
I'd word it in a way of "halp, somehow I zeroed my IMEI and I need to write back the exact same IMEI and definitely not some other IMEI on a phone I have because I bought a bad IMEI phone on eBay". Even then I think mods would raise a stink.

Hi everyone, I've purchased a Redmi 7 outside my country (Argentina), and everything worked as expected. Then after some hours using it, the phone started updating. After the update completed my SIM card was not detected anymore and both IMEI numbers show up as UNKNOWN.
I've downloaded some tools to restore the IMEI but in order to do that I need to open Diag mode. The codes (*#*#717717#*#* and such) won't work, showing the message "Open diag failed". I've read that to enable Diag mode, the phone needs to be rooted.
To be rooted, the bootloader needs to be unlocked and to unlock the bootloader, I've to log in MI Account in the phone but is impossible without a valid IMEI.
I don't think I did something wrong since I just bought it and used it normally for a few hours with the SIM card working correctly.
I've already written an e-mail to the Xiaomi support contact but got no response yet.
What can I do? Is there a way to get into Diag mode without root?
Thanks in advance
You can try flashing a fastboot rom of your region through fastboot mode
Hello guys,
I bought a new S20 Ultra, 2 days ago, it was on Android 10, when I tried to update it via OTA, it showed a toast saying "registration failed".
So not knowing this is a problem, I simply downloaded Odin and Frija, used Frija to get the same exact ROM with the same CSC (XXV: Vietnam), and flashed it, so far all good, after starting, the sim card was showing "emergency calls only", I tried literally everything: Network reset, restart, re-flash another ROM, another CSC (no matter what I did, CSC didn't change on the phone).
I noticed that I can't change the network provider (stuck on Automatic, and shows a toast saying: "Error while searching for networks").
*#06# shows the IMEI code written on the back of the phone.
About Phone also shows the same IMEI code on the back of the phone.
*#0011# shows: IMEI Status: NG
I have searched a lot in this forum and others, and found that I should have backed up my EFS folder, following the instructions in this comment, I rooted the phone, and used Root Explorer, inside the EFS folder, there's no "nv_data.bin" file, I wanted to delete the IMEI folder, but had to do a backup first, then things went south flashing TWRP, so I stopped and re-flashed a stock ROM (removing root and everything).
I went out to a local repair shop, the person said that the phone isn't reading the sim, and it should be unlocked using a box (hardware unlocking). But I think that Chimera would do the job, but I don't understand why they only have a yearly sub, while some people need to use it just for 1 day :/
If anyone went through this problem, or has any idea, please let me know.
Thank you!
UPDATE: Apparently on the back of the device, it says: LIVE DEMO UNIT NOT FOR SALE.
