Red Rice IMEI / SIM problem

[Herod2k]

Hi,

I´ve tried to install your firmware on my new Xiaomi Red Rice WCDMA but after the installation (and after a reset from CWM Recovery) the mobile phone doesn´t recongnize the SIM card.
Afeter a lot of research I noticed thath the IMEI number is invalid, I think that the SIM problem is connected with the IMEI problem.

Someone has the solution to restore the IMEI?

I have tried almoust everything that I found on internet, by ADB, by MT65xx.apk, by SN_GEN.exe and Mobile Uncle tools but without success.

I´m trying to use SN Write tool but I can´t connect the mobile phone with the SP Drivers.

I´ve also tried to restore the nand backup but nothing. I still don't a valid IMEI number.

Thanks

Same issue like we had with TD version at the beginning... You need SP flash tool version of Hongmi WCDMA firmware which we currently doesn't have... Only for TD version... There is no other way to restore your IMEI...

Check your modem version if its also missing...

Could you pass me SP flash tool for TD version? I would try it. I don't have other options for now.

 

[ingbrzy]

It can brick your device definitely... Its only for TD...

So for resume.. You made root, install our chinese CWM and after factory reset it wiped also IMEI, right?

Yes
- Root
- Mobile Uncle Tools
- CWM Recovery
- Backup of NAND
- Flash New ROM
- Wipe data and cache
- Reboot

Did you try restore from backup?

[Herod2k]

Yes, same problem.

I have found in two threads that the SN Station works:
http://bbs.ydss.cn/thread-352870-1-1.html (you have to be registered to see it)
and
http://bbs.ydss.cn/thread-307242-1-1.html

But I can't connect the software to the mobile phone using the SP_DRIVERS

If you pass me the TD image I can try to restore only the nvram image.

Thanks for the help

Sorry cant give you version which I have downloaded as I am not at home yet... But I think its from here... http://bbs.ydss.cn/thread-360769-1-1.html or here http://bbs.ydss.cn/thread-346940-1-1.html

 

[Herod2k]

I'll give it a try. Thanks for the help.

 

[Herod2k]

Nothing, I still don't have the IMEI

Nothing, I still don't have the IMEI

Try search that Chinese forum for SP Flash tool version of stock FW for WCDMA... its only way which can help you...

Modem (baseband) is wiped too, right..? Settings - About phone

 

[Herod2k]

Yes also baseband is wiped. I'm trying to search it in the chinese forums but often they don't say for wich version is and they don't use the word WCDMA they call it Unicom version (联通版 ).

Thaks for the help

 

[ingbrzy]

Yes, that's why we though CWM should work for both models... but thank you for testing it and toy saved lot of new users... hope we will find out how to help you soon...

we had same issue with our TD version.. IMEI and Baseband lost, and only SP Flash tool FW fixed that.. that Chinese forum is good base to resolve your problem.. but lot of Chinese users doesn't know English so its hard sometimes...

Yes I have tried

 

[Herod2k]

Found it:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?&sh...0&dir=/红米/线刷包/联通版&page=1#dir/path=/红米/线刷包/联通版

The are two files, I have tried both, but now at the boot I see the Xiaomi Logo (white) with this text:
TOOL DL image fail

Someone knows something about it?

 

[Herod2k]

Ok I solved,

I write here the solution if someone like me has problem:

• Download HM2013023_images_JHBCNAH1.0_a493d025e2_4.2.rar from here:http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?&sh...0&dir=/红米/线刷包/联通版&page=1#dir/path=/红米/线刷包/联通版
• Download HM_Drivers.rar and SP_Flash_Tool_src_v3.1306.0.150.rar from here:
  http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?&sh...ird=0&dir=/红米/线刷包/联通版&page=1#dir/path=/红米/工具包
  
• There are 3 differents recovery for this mobile phone: miui recovery_v1.0.img, CWMrecovery-touch.img and cofface_hongmi_recovery_v1.0.img, you can find the files here:
  http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?&sh...=0&dir=/红米/线刷包/联通版&page=1#dir/path=/红米/第三方REC
  
• First of all, install the HM_Drivers.rar there is a folder named Driver_Auto_Installer inside there is an Install script, use it to install the drivers
• Decompress SP_Flash_Tool_src_v3.1306.0.150.rar and HM2013023_images_JHBCNAH1.0_a493d025e2_4.2.rar
• Launch Flash_tool from SP_Flash_Tool folder
• Push ¨Scatter loading¨ button select MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc from HM2013023_images_JHBCNAH1.0_a493d025e2_4.2.rar
• Put the check on DA DL ALL With Check SUM
• Push the Firmware Upgrade button
• Remove the battery from the phone
• Connect the phone with the usb to the computer
• Wait until appear the Big Green Circle

If you want you can change the recovery before to push Firmware Upgrade, selecting one of the three recovery that i linked.

You have to use the specific HM_Drivers.rar and SP_Flash_Tool_src_v3.1306.0.150.rar or you get TOOL DL image fail at the boot.

I Hope that this guide can help someone else

The last thing:

I have installed your Rom for Hong Mi WCDMA:
http://caro.miuiandroid.com/3.11.8/multi/miuiandroid_multi_V6W_3.11.8_jb-4.2.zip

Using the miui recovery_v1.0.img that I linked before, it works perfectly.

Once you have installed it you have to format data/cache and it can boot.

Thanks again for the help

Thanks a lot for it but I can say only the factory reset I can see but the rest if for example you like to do only format system or and format internal sd how to understand
Thanks in advance.

The recovery: miui recovery_v1.0.img that I linked before is English/Chinese you can choose which language you prefer when you enter in the recovery mode.

EDIT: It works this recovery for TD Hongmi version?? Because the recovery image on the thread for HONGMI update is in chinese and it will be very helpfull when this recovery it can be used for flashing ROMs.

 

[Shewky]

I have question.

MTK Droid Tools is not working for Imei Fix ? Maybe IMEI change ?

I don't know because I don't have the TD-SCDMA version, but I think that it works also in the TD version

I have question.

Should be works, but I think that my problem was more serious than a simply IMEI loss
