geekevo wroteTo be honest lebgeeks is not the best forum to ask about phones on. If you really wan't to find an answer you should give xda a visit if you already haven't. ( explain the imei in detail there has to be another country with similar procedure)
I did check xda, they have a nice guide to restore IMEI, which got lost in some software problem, but wont work in my case. I didnt try to post there tho, so i might try that.
NuclearVision wroteYou could find the device's Imei anytime on its original box.
and behind the battery. I have the number, how does that helps?
m_zeid wrotethe IMEI is burned in ROM chip or flashed on EEPROM chip. And I guess that the chips that contains the IMEI is broken (or some of it's legs).
but replacing the chip?? the new chip chip should carry the same info as the old one, so is it legal to burn/flash such things? i don't think so but you can ask about this. Another thing that you must know your IMEI, but you can find it on Alfa's website and touch should do the same.
My advice is buy a new phone and leave this one for hacking.
Good points, and explanation, i don't know about the legal part.
AvoK95 wroteHave you tried flashing again? Also your IMEI is written in the box or sometimes under your battery. So do some research and learn how to edit your efs partition.
I did factory reset only so far, ill do more research on editing efs partitions, but i dismissed that earlier, when i knew it was hardware problem.
Thank for all the replies.
