Recovery have 4pda. Is it possible to remove IMEI? Devices based on MTK processor

Trouble came from an unexpected place. And although this cannot be called a disaster, it still caused some inconvenience at first. The reason for this situation came from the desire to format the phone memory with the program SPFlash Tool due to a decrease in its volume after the firmware. But in order to do this correctly, first we had to collect necessary information. But I was in a hurry and I paid for it.

After raking through heaps of different information in Networks and having quickly tried several methods to no avail, I remembered that I had a program installed on my computer MtkDroidTools, whose functions include restoration IMEI-ev. The only thing is on the OS " seven"It was terribly slow and I had to switch to the good old XP(fortunately, besides “ sevens"There are still three operating systems on the PC), where this program simply flew.

Easy to install. You just need to unpack the archive. I installed the folder in the root directory. Launched the program. It is highly desirable to have root access on your phone, and although the program MtkDroidTools It may give a temporary root, but I have never had this happen. To connect the phone I used a standard USB cable. IN Settings gadget on the tab - For developers activated the line - O debugging via USB. After some time, this request appeared (smartphone Explay Fresh - Android 4.42, but on Android 4.2.2 such a request does not appear). Confirmed.

After some time, a message appeared that the changes will take effect after rebooting the phone. In the program window I clicked - Reboot.

After rebooting, I first made a USSD request, but the mobile network was unavailable. You just need to wait 5 minutes and the network signal indicator (on the right top corner) began to show that there is a connection. A test call confirmed this.

Those who use smartphones based on Chinese MediaTek processors know very well what an incorrect IMEI is. What to do if IMEI on Android is lost? Most often this happens after flashing the firmware or general reset of the smartphone. Don't worry, most of these errors can be corrected.

Post navigation:

Restoring IMEI on Android will not take much time if you backup NVRAM and NVDATA from your device in advance.

Where is IMEI stored on Android?

To make a backup of IMEI you need to know where it is stored. On devices with MediaTek processors (90% of Chinese smartphones and 50% of budget devices from well-known manufacturers), the IMEI is stored in NVRAM. In addition to IMEI, it stores data about the calibration of wireless modules, identification information (IMEI, MAC), as well as settings for some equipment.

The device’s firmware provides a separate memory area called NVRAM; during the first startup of the smartphone, information from there is copied to the /data/nvram directory. After this, the data in this directory may change for various reasons, including problems with the firmware.

How can NVRAM be damaged?

  • Formatting a smartphone using SP Flash Tool
  • Using the wrong version of SP Flash Tool
  • Memory re-partitioning
  • Partial firmware
  • Interrupted smartphone firmware process

Signs of damaged NVRAM, or how to find out that IMEI has been lost

  • When you enter *#06# in the dialer, empty fields appear under IMEI 1 and IMEI 2
  • When Wi-Fi is turned on, the virtual network “Nvram warning err = 0x10” appears

Backup IMEI on Android using SP Flash Tool

To make an IMEI backup, the first thing you need to do is charge your smartphone to at least 40%. Next, you need to install drivers for your device, as well as the SP Flash Tool. Next in order:

  1. Click Scatter-loading and select the scatter file from the official firmware for your device
  2. Switch to the Readback tab
  3. Click the Add button, a new line will appear below. Double-click on the new line and enter the name of the file to save. Specify the folder where the IMEI firmware will be saved and name it nvram.img, click save.
  4. The Readback block start address window will appear. In Region you need to select EMMC_User (MT6592 and higher). In a text editor, open the scatter file from your firmware and find the NVRAM item, it looks something like this
  5. Copy linear_start_addr and partition_size values ​​into SP Flash Tool to Start Address and Length respectively
  6. Recheck the entered data and click Read Back
  7. Turn off the smartphone, remove and reinsert the battery, if this is not possible, then wait 1 minute after turning off. Connect the switched off smartphone to the PC with a working cable, the program will pick up the smartphone and after a few seconds a small window with a green checkmark will appear, which means everything is correct.
  8. Disconnect your smartphone from your PC and check the saved file along the path you specified in step 3.

For smartphones with MT67xx series processors, you additionally need to save NVDATA. Do everything the same as in the instructions above, starting from point 3.

Repairing IMEI after flashing using SP Flash Tool

  1. In SP Flash Tool, specify your Scatter file and press “CTRL+ALT+V”
  2. In the top menu of the program, select the item Window – Write Memory
  3. Switches to the Write Memory tab
  4. Fill in the File Path item by clicking on the folder icon and selecting your NVRAM backup
  5. In the Region item, select EMMC_USER (for MT6592 and higher)
  6. Open your Scatter in a text editor and copy linear_start_addr into the Begin Address (HEX) line
  7. Click Write Memory
  8. Connect the switched off smartphone to the computer using a standard cable. The program will see the smartphone and write down the specified memory area, that is, it will eliminate the incorrect IMEI.

For MT67xx smartphones, you need to do the same for NVDATA.

After this, you need to flash the device with full factory firmware in accordance with the instructions for your smartphone. After flashing the firmware, you need to turn on the phone and reset it through the settings. Sometimes you need to flash the full firmware in Firmware Upgrade mode.

This IMEI firmware should always be stored on a computer or cloud service, the main thing is that you always have access to it, it is much easier than correcting an incorrect IMEI manually.

How to use IMEI to find a stolen or lost device

It is worth noting that the chances of finding a lost or stolen gadget on your own are very low for two reasons:

  • No necessary equipment to search by IMEI: in order to find a stolen or lost device, you must have access to special equipment, as well as databases of all mobile operators in the country where the loss or theft occurred. It is thanks to this that you can determine the location of a lost device and a new one. mobile number, which is used by the gadget. The problem is that only law enforcement officials have access to equipment and information;
  • there is no access to information about the location of the device: absolutely all online services that the user can find on the Internet, as well as applications and programs supposedly for searching smartphones by IMEI, are completely ineffective. Operator only cellular communication has the right to provide information about the location of devices at the request of the police, who accepted a statement from the owner about the theft. So you shouldn’t turn to online services and various applications to search for stolen or lost devices.

The only sure way to find your gadget is to contact law enforcement agencies to file a theft report. The police, in turn, submit a request to the mobile operator to search for the device. Quite often this method leads to the discovery of smartphones and tablets.

  • fill out a business card with contact information on your smartphone or tablet. This will help, in case of loss of the device, the finder to find the owner of the device to contact him;
  • install the TheftAlert application on your device, which is designed to send an SMS message when changing the SIM card to a phone number specified in advance;
  • If you lose your device, immediately use one of the services (for example LoSToleN), which will allow you to add the IMEI of the gadget to the database of stolen devices. Also in many similar services You can specify the amount of return reward.

Is it possible to remove IMEI

Since IMEI is a very important identifier for any device and there is no way to deliberately remove it.

But sometimes under the word " complete removal" also implies the following:

  • force the IMEI not to be displayed on the screen by dialing *#06#, which is possible with certain knowledge in the field of programming;
  • prohibit reading or accessing a memory cell. But what cannot be read, for example, via the RS-232 channel (computer port), can be read by a USB-Jig device (used in service centers to restore “bricked” Android devices) or, in extreme cases, by a programmer (a device designed for writing and reading information in ROM - read-only memory);
  • forcing you not to release IMEI to the network upon request is problematic, but possible. But in this case, there is a high probability that service will be denied or the phone will never find the network.

Each operator has an IMEI database, request individual number The radio module is required when registering on the network, and if the network operator does not receive a 16-digit number upon request, it will not allow the phone to use the network. From all that has been said above, we can conclude that “complete IMEI removal” is impossible.

Due to the fact that IMEI is really important in every Android device, it is recommended to check it on all gadgets, rewrite it and save it in a safe place. If any difficulties arise, you can use methods to restore or replace IMEI.
