1. Make sure that you have really damaged NVRAM (the information is up).

2. Charge the smartphone. I recommend to charge it all the way to 100%.

3. Find and download the factory firmware for SP Flash Tool. There must be a base APBD and MODEMDB (usually in the folder of the same name, but rarely in the bulk folder target_bin). Skip this is you have it allready.

Creating a basic structure of NVRAM settings and recording IMEI.

9. Start MAUI META

10. In the menu: Actions - Open NVRAM Database. Select the file (usually begins at BPLGUInfoCustomAppSrcP ...) from my modemdb factory firmware for SP Flash Tool. For example for the A850 + file named BPLGUInfoCustomAppSrcP_MT6592_S00_A850 + _V1_1_wg_n and size 5,5MB for A606 file named LWD3I15.1.6.1.3T21A0828_M015.src and size 7.3Mb.

23. Reboot.

Record MAC-addresses of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, as well as SN in NVRAM.
