IMEI Injection:

Please see Post #3 for IMEI Injection + Data Restore All in one App and Instructions

or

Inject IMEI with QPST

Open RF NV Item Manager from the bin folder found in Program Files folder/Qualcomm/QPST

(RF NV Manager is no longer accessible from the start menu or from inside QPST Configuration).

Click on Setting menu in RF NV Item Manager and select Comport.

Select your phone from the list of ports and click ok.

Go to File menu and select Read From Phone.

You will get a list of NV items and their values from your phone.

Look for item NV_UE_IMEI_I it will be item number 550 you can do a search for it using the search.

If you are unable to find it you will need to add it in

Go to Option => Customize NV Item List.

Then look for the item on the left and move it to the right.

Click OK now you should be able to find it.

NEVER ADD AN ITEM THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW THE CORRECT VALUE FOR YOU CAN DAMAGE YOUR PHONE IF YOU DO SO!​

On the right you will see a set of 9 text boxes this is where your IMEI should be.

Click the Hex Check Box.

The Hex values for your IMEI will consist of no more than 2 characters per a box and must match your IMEI or it will not take the values you enter. The IMEI is also listed in a special order so you must follow this guide to ensure your IMEI is correct. The first box will always be an 8.

Example if your IMEI was: 954091051099226 then the boxes would look like this:

8

9a

45

90

01

15

90

29

62​

Click on the button Write NV to write the values to your phone.

Once they have been written reboot your phone and check to see if your IMEI has been restored.

If IMEI is correct and you are stuck on EDGE/2g go to Post #3.

Remember to go back into the Hidden Menu and set your USB Settings back to MTP + ADB once you are done!!!!
