[please Help] Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus Invalid Imei

[TheMysticle]

Hello so I was stuck in EDL mode for a day but I just let my battery drain and my phone just turned on, but now for some reason my bootloader is locked and my IMEI is broken. I cannot sign into miui on my phone because it keeps saying my device ID is wrong. How can I fix my IMEI without Rooting my phone? Because I cannot root it because the bootloader is locked.

I did that but I think I had the wrong qcn because it restored IMEI 1 into IMEI 2 and nothing into IMEI 1 so IMEI is unknown and IMEI 2 is what IMEI 1 should be. How can I fix this please send me the right qcn

Himm.This is not abaut wrong qcn.i think you need block partition of efs,fsg with adb command after that u can restore.u can try first bootloader unlocked with these commands
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
