Indeed, it was black listed. I received some data with one ROM when my IMEI was (0), then I manually entered the original one using QPST and when I flashed CM10 my IMEI went again to (0) and that's when my carrier suspected a bad use of the line and suspended it. I don't blame them, it is a good security measure.

I have to go to the service center and I had the fortune to talk with a really well prepared technician. They restored the original ROM and now all is well. I will try new ROMs for sure, but I will disconnect my data service before it connects to the network.

Thank you for your suggestions.

I have a XT926 and the IMEI is 0. I tried this mathod, the item #550 is there, I changed it per the discription, but when I pressed "Write NV", an error window popped said the parameter is write protected and thus read only. Anything I did wrong? I followed your steps exactly. Thanks!
[RAZR HD General] madmonkey57:
Sure you followed the procedure exactly? It should work...
[RAZR HD General] coolbird:
Yes, I followed the procedure exactly. Maybe this can not be done on a XT926 (Verizon Razr HD). Can anyone confirm that the IMEI fix can be done on XT926? Thanks!
[RAZR HD General] UserDemos:
Could anyone who has done this on an 64-bit Windows installation help me out? I tried several different options and followed a few threads, but couldn't add the COM portion. And the pre-release drivers only came in 32-bit versions.

If anyone could help me out here or via PM, that would be excellent. I'd love to recover my IMEI and be able to use my phone again. Massive thanks to anyone who can help me.

Bump! Anyone has figured out how to do this on QT926 Verizon version Razr HD yet? It is driving me crazy. OP's approach didn't work, looks like the nv table is read only. I also tried to use QPST to backup the QCN, thinking I could hex edit the qcn file then have it restored to the phone, and turned out the phone doesn't even allow you to restore the qcn backup with QPST's Software Download tool. What the #~^*&($%# ....

Razr HD XT925 IMEI went to 0

Hey there fellas, great source of help you have here, congrats everyone!

I've tried on different PCs but no matter what, I cant make my XT925 shows up as a COM port and thus, I cant work on it on QPST!

Fast boot it in BP Tools do give me enough permissions to do the job?

Any hint?!?

Yes sir, I did and it failed. I did it again and it worked!

Razr HD XT 925 IMEI was set as 0. W7 U64bits Sony Vaio.

Thanks to everyone here, to you who create this topico and to the french guy at the S3 topic who has figured out how to do this on a 64bits OS!

Keep tweaking fellas...United, YES we can!:good::highfive:
[RAZR HD General] Skrilax_CZ:
Just about the installation on 64bit system via standard driver. Connect the phone under booted via BP-Tools, open Control Panel, select Device Manager, under Other Devices is "QC Interface". Right click on it, select properties, in which click on Update Driver. Select Browse my Computer for Driver Software and Let me pick from a list of device drivers. Click on Ports (COM & LPT) and in the next dialog select Motorola and then on the Right Motorola QC interface.

Just making it clear as it is written a bit unclear in the original thread.

It's my understanding that the IMEI must be showing 0 before it will allow writing the item to repair it.

Yes, shows 0 on the phone.
[RAZR HD General] coolbird:
I don't think this procedure works on XT926. I used to have a Verizon Razr HD and I had tried so many times and eventually gave up. I tried to backup software, and hex edited the backup file, and restore, but the restore procedure failed, didn't matter if it was the original backup file, or the edited one. And the IMEI on my phone was "0"

Guys???
[RAZR HD General] poe:
I have made a SUPER STUPID mistake:crying:. I put the first digit as 9 instead of 8 and it successfully wrote in my phone. Now it doesn't allow me to change it again. When I try to correct it it will say it was read-only or protected. Any one can help? How can I remove the #550 and redo it from the beginning?

Thanks a lot.
[RAZR HD General] poe:
I think the fix can only apply on those machine without the #550. Once the #550 exist, there is no way to re-write it due to it is protected. I may need to use the "bug" to erase the #550 again. I am now in 4.1.2 EU retail ROM. Please tell me a good way to erase the IMEI. Should I downgrade to ICS then done?

Thanks.

It just does not update.

I'm Attempting to do this on my Partner's GS34G (I9105), A bad recovery (For the non 4G model) that i mistakingly caused has changed the IMEI. I Have connected the Phone to the QPST properly and made my way into either the Item NV Tool or the Service Programming Tool. Despite changing the values and writing them, the phone refuses to actually change the IMEI (Just defaults back after reboot). It is rooted for what that means.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The best thing to do is try to relax and explain everything that happened that caused the issue and everything you have tried to solve it.

Then anyone who tries to help will have as much information as possible to find a solution.

The sticker is not there on the XT 907 RAZR M but is on the XT 926 RAZR HD.

[RAZR HD General] cellzealot:
WOW!!! Nice, congratulations! Not sure I helped very much though, glad you were able to figure it out.

Now that your phone is recovered and all you needed was to reflash the firmware it seems, you should have no trouble using the full XML zip of the JB release to upgrade to the latest version.

I suspect it was really just flashing the modem and fsg.mbn that restored your IMEI, but I am not sure from your elated post what you really did to recover.

Anyways, congratulations and be sure to try and explain it so others in the same position may benefit from your experience. ;)

[RAZR HD General] abuttino:
You guys need to be a lot more careful when using QPST. The OP was right, it's incredibly dangerous software. One wrong digit, goodbye phone.

I've been using QPST since the windows mobile days getting A-GPS IP address into the phones.

You have one mess-up, your phone is a paperweight.

Don't do it drunk, do it alone, do it carefully. Don't have little kids fingers around to touch keyboards.

You have one last chance to check the data before you write to the phone, check it more than once.

excellent thread

Guys,

I am doing this on an XT912

My IMEI says "unknown", my MEID is what my IMEI should be.

My phone works but I don't get 4G at all, only 3G.

I thought this was going to be the fix that solved it, but when I read the phone with RF NV Manager, and look at 550, it already has my IMEI number in it. Now I am stumped. Don't think I should write since the value is already correct.

Any ideas? I would greatly appreciate it.

WRITE PROTECTED PROBLEM:

The process only works with IMEI 0, for this we must force the bug.

0.- Unlock the bootloader and Root the phone.

1. - Flash the 7.7.1Q_144_VQU_S3-35-1101_SIGNED_SIGNEMEA_USAVANQUSFRLTEOFF021.0R_LSAVNQICSVFFR_P043_A038_CFC ROM with RSD Lite.

2. - Put the update Blur_Version.7.61.1101001.XT925.Vodafone.en.FR.zip on your external sd card and restart in recovery mode (original), install the update zip.

3. - Flash AGAIN the 7.7.1Q_144_VQU_S3-35-1101_SIGNED_SIGNEMEA_USAVANQUSFRLTEOFF021.0R_LSAVNQICSVFFR_P043_A038_CFC rom with RSD Lite (downgrade)

Razr HD xt926 with IMEI 0

I just purchased a Razr HD 4.1.2 (9.18.94.xt926.verizon.en.US) and the former user's info was still in the phone so I did a "courtesy" factory reset. In retrospect, I should have checked for root and unlocked status beforehand.

After the reset I noticed the IMEI is 0 though the phone seems to function ok. I believe the phone had been rooted or unlocked when I received it.

Originally, I was trying to complete this process on one of my XP 32bit PCs but it would not see my phone so I switched over to my Windows 7 Pro 64bit.

I have tried QPST and EFS Professional each numerous times following all of the corresponding instructions. The QPST states "read only" but the EFS confirms complete but the IMEI is still 0 after rebooting.

I rooted the phone and even unlocked the GSM and retried both processes numerous times but still fail.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
[RAZR HD General] foxtom:
exactly the same problem, yeah assistance would be greatly appreciated !
[RAZR HD General] cellzealot:
Try reflashing the radio image and fsg.mbn from the full XML.zip for your device.

The radio image will be called either modem_signed or NON-HLOS.bin and can be flashed using fastboot.

In many cases the IMEI is not actually blanked but cannot be read by the radio and it reports as 0.

Reflashing the proper radio image can often fix it without having to overwrite the NVM.
