Hi, I recently has my IMEI removed on my K10000 (both of them actually)

But I fixed it.

Give me a few minutes and I will post back with how to do it (have to find the online tutorial I used)

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

This is the tutorial I used.

https://www.skyneel.com/how-to-fix-or-resolve-lost-imei-number-android-micromax-mtk-devices

regarding the no CDS option. I think you need to have root to have that option be present. That is just a guess though. Because I was able to restore my IMEI via the CDS option last time, but that was before I updated my rom and now I don't have root and the CDS option is not present.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] droidafx:
Hi, thanks for trying to help, but I'd tried this already. I have root and had root when I tried it. Maybe this used to work on a month or two old phone or works on k10000's only. Or maybe it's just something uniquely screwy as a result of something having gone wrong when I flashed it initially, a re-flash didn't help either). Whatever it is, it will not work - as there is no "CDS information" under connectivity.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] ajgftw:
For what it's worth, your not crazy.

See when this happened to me I was on the previous version of the stock K10000 rom, v8.0.

Now I am on v12 and I also do not have the cds entry when I open the engineering menu.

My knowledge doesn't go much deeper than that I'm afraid though.

Much like you I had tried many many things before I got it to work, perhaps something I tried along the way enabled the cds menu?

I will try to retrace my steps during my internet research session and see if any of the tools I tried trigger the cds menu.

I tried this tool at some stage, at saw it wasn't on your list of failed solutions.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] bjbirch:
Try MTK engineering shortcut from playstore:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Go.EngModeMtkShortcut

And look at GPRS under telephony option, I don't know whether this will work for you

You may need to search Google for how to restore your imei number for mtk phones
[Oukitel (All phone models)] ajgftw:
Fancy bumping into you here ?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] droidafx:
I should have put an exhaustive list of apps / things I'd tried on thread, sorry about that. But was exhausted myself and just wrote a quick post before giving up and getting some sleep.

Thanks for the tip on MTK engineering, I hadn't tried GPRS tab IMEI write. But having done that, it gets accepted but that's all. I can't use mobile data even though SIM is seen and has correct APN and SMSC is correct for my UK network (three.co.uk) which as per SIM card info and confirmed in phone in Mobileuncle Tools. Mobileuncle Tools also has no "CDS information" in engineering mode. Basically I'm stuck with IMEI / Null and no network functionality is going to work in this state.

As yet no tools or internet searches solutions I've tried (having spent 30 hours trying) has yielded a working fix. Maybe I should move away from this ROM >> OUKITEL_K6000_Pro_FZ_V7.0_20160823_124948 and try a one from a couple of months ago. But I don't see why that would make a difference, it seems like me and this device might have to depart on the grounds of irreconcilable differences, as at this point without some maverick solution unspoken on the internet I reckon this device may be toast.

---------- Post added at 01:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

Wow — I don’t know exactly why or how. But it is now working =).

What I have done in the last half an hour in order, (not sure which one did it exactly). Maybe it’s something I had already done and these things need time to kick in at the network provider, who knows. But I hope this helps somebody.

Set IMEI’s in GPRS MTK Engineering mode. (courtesy of bjbirch — many thanks)

Rebooted (didn’t work)

Tried Chamelephon again and rebooted, (didn’t work)

Tried Chamelephon again — this time one SIM only (app crashed)

Uninstalled Chamelephon

Reinstalled Chamelephon and rebooted

Tried Chamelephon again one SIM only again, (it didn’t crash)

Rebooted phone

WORKING PHONE, (and both SIM’s IMEI showing) YAY !!

Thanks very much to all those contributing and offering help.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] ajgftw:
Glad you got it sorted! It's interesting how nothing that worked for me worked for you. May just come down to differences between the devices (K10000 vs K6000pro)? Who knows. [emoji3]
[Oukitel (All phone models)] droidafx:
Cheers ajgftw.

Pretty impressed with this device so far. How are you getting on with your K10000 ?

Also just wondered if you're running an SD card bigger than 32GB ? Official info states 32GB limit, but I read a lot of people with the exact same phone or phones sharing MTK6753 chipset saying they're using 64GB & 128GB cards. I don't have one handy to test.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] ajgftw:
Yeah the K10000 is pretty great, seems nice and stable, plus much more frequent updates than I was expecting on a AUD$200 device, I was also surprised by the build quality, usually I'm all about that flagship life, but my horizons have definitely been widened.

I only have a 32gb in mine at the moment, but I've got a tablet with a 128gb in it, I will literally try it right now.

---------- Post added at 05:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 AM ----------

Initial signs are good.

The tablet I had the 128gb card in was also only said to support 32gb (Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014).

---------- Post added at 06:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 AM ----------

And now formatted as internal storage...
[Oukitel (All phone models)] droidafx:
Cool. Thanks for trying that. I was going to buy a 128GB. I'd rather do that knowing it will work than grab a 64GB, which I'm fairly certain will work -- knowing that I'll need a bigger one at some point. Might as well grab it now if poss.

I hear you re: cost / quality vs expectation and the usual experience based on always buying high end devices. I too am very impressed with the quality and real world hard use this last day or so. It's no speed demon, but far from being too slow or annoyingly slow -- especially when considering how much functionality it offers compared to devices that easily cost 5 times as much and offer 1/5 of the functionality.

I don't want to start a pi**ing contest along the lines of the usual absolutism or fanboism arguments common to those worshipping at the church of St Jobs -- or those blind to the shortcomings of droid based products. But I will say that I'm done with paying whacking great prices to be de-autonomised and dictated to about exactly what I can and cannot do with "my" device. If I want to play .flac files, I will now do it, if I want to play my paid for audiobooks / epubs or any other content I will do it. If I want to remove something I don't like it, I will do it, (full root / file system access). I guess not everyone wants that and each to their own -- but the choice is always nice.

Apparently the world stood still yesterday and I'm supposed to be eager to queue around the block to pay £700 in order to retire double that spent on headphone cans / earphones and on top of that I'd still need other devices to play all my content. And don't get me started on the battery life of these: 'flagship' products. I'm surprised at the results of the poll on this thread about battery life vs features. For two reasons, there's nothing smart about a smartphone that can be burned out in less than half a day under even moderately hard use. Also, the phones with the most features are the ones with the best battery life. So that poll seems -- to me at least, a little out of whack with a significant number of 'preferring the middle ground' respondents.

I guess that does sound like a bit of a rant / sermon. Just in from the pub -- I ought to know better than to post then, ha.

But for balance. I will say that if you value security / privacy these devices really take some work. I don't meant just the usual / expected crap from the biggest spyware company of them all, (Google) but there's a load of crappy MTK and their partners services that I don't need or want -- that are on by default. Perhaps they occasionally serve some purpose for less tech savvy users, but there's no question they serve MTK and their adware / snoopware / borderline malware partners more so. Once they're gone / disabled -- all is good. ;)

---------- Post added at 06:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 AM ----------

Superb !! I was too busy ranting than noticing your successful additon of the 128GB SD. Ha.

Thanks for trying this and letting me know. I'll get one ordered now. Out of interest -- what brand of card are you using? And was is it formatted as FAT32?

Cheers.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] ajgftw:
We're on the same page mate. Phones are tools, and after nearly 10 years of using everything from a Nokia 5110 to a BlackBerry curve to recent flagships and my Nexus 6p the one thing I have learnt is that they all have faults.

Using my Nexus 6p as an example, it's an amazing phone...for the 4 hours you get to look at the screen before it goes flat. And I honestly haven't had a day yet where I only have 4 hours worth of stuff to do on my phone with University, Work and life all depending constant connections. So now the 6p has been demoted to a wifi only gaming and media phone and the K10000 is my daily. Half the time I'm just charging this thing out of habit haha.

Your just getting in from the pub....I'm just having my morning coffee.... [emoji1]
[Oukitel (All phone models)] droidafx:
Absolutely agree. They are just tools — right one for the job etc. I’m also not blinkered to the merits or faults of any vendor . Credit where it’s due. I spent the last two years using an Iphone 5. I did so initially as I got it for free off my brother ha. But mainly gave it a try because I’d burned through three flagship HTC phones and a medium level Lenovo in less than 18 months due to living in a tropical Asian climate and literally sweated the phones to death. Yet the Iphone could not be killed in two years there with the same use in the same place and is still going strong. But now I’m back in ****ty weather boring England — functionality trumps durability and I don't want pockets / bags filled with chargers, battery packs, tablet, mp3 player etc. And at these prices it's not the end of the world if the Oukitel goes plonk after 6 to 12 months. Two per year is still a fraction of the flag**** product cost.

Enjoy your coffee. =) And thanks again -- I should have put my glasses on. As I see your previous post answered my question, ha. I'll order a 128GB Sandisk.

I read it somewhere on this thread that supersu v2.71 could be brick the device... the person later used v2.67... what do you think?

Also, can I backup my stock rom without rooting first?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] olegfaza:
:) TWRP Backup required (before rooting) If you wish...

But 2.71 works great.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] squo_85:

OH MY GOD I LOVE YOUUU droidafx,

IT WORKED !!!! (sorry for caps, but i'm so happy)

I spent hours and hours trying to find how i could make it work, and u wrote "go in GPRS in Engineer Mode (i was looking for CDS like you !) and write imei"

I did it and it worked !!! THANKS A LOT <333333

What's that, Josh?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] shiroatir:
Hello guys! I have a problem with my phone if anyone could help i'd really appreciate it! Ok so i got my phone k6000 pro and its amazing i had v8 stock and it told me that i was the latest update when i tried to update it, is it really the latest update or is this just an error? isnt v12 the latest update? anyway, i looked up online and i found this website ''needrom'' with it i saw v1 and v7 roms and i heard that its 64bit unlike the v8 thats 32bit now idk how that works on phone but i heard that 64bit is better and its the latest update so i said whatever let me flash it and after using it for awhile i wanted to make a call but i couldnt, i would try to call someone but after few seconds the call would end... i know the problem is from my phone because i tried another sim card that works on my mom's phone but it didnt work on mine. could this problem be because of this v7 rom? am i the only one that has this problem? i tried hard reseting the phone but it didnt work... before i flashed v7 i backuped v8 in my sd card but i tried restoring it before flashing v7 and it gave me an error saying the files expired or something similar and i tried restoring on the v7 rom but it gave me another error that i dont remember. I really like the v7 because it has a feature that u could lock apps using fingerprints in the sittings but i dont like how u hold the left button instead of the home button to show recent apps (if you could change that please let me know). Sorry for the long paragraph but i have so many questions, thanks for reading!
[Oukitel (All phone models)] darrey007:
and I intend to flash the v7 64 bits too. Are you rooted? how did you flashed the rom? Also it might be that the rom file is broken.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] JoshIsHAPPY:
U mean the GPRS ?

I had the same problem as droidafx and i did the same thing he did to resolve it, and it worked, so i was so happy and i needed to tell it to him.

i just clicked on "reply" .

His problem was in this page http://xdaforums.com/general/device...sts-k6000-k10000-t3279075/page19#post68569723

I succesfully rooted the oukitel K6000 Pro (and flashed superSU 2.71) but after checking with Root Checker it says:

Device is rooted

SUPER user: SU not found

Busy Box not installed

What is wrong?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] olegfaza:
Update SuperSU on playmarket =>normally

And install busybox from playmarket too

Android 6.0 has "systemless Root"

Ask Google What is it.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] darrey007:
Which Backup brother? Is it everybody that have this kinda "SU not found" issue?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] olegfaza:
TWRP backup. Before rooting, your install TWRP, right? If you are afraid to do something, make a backup. Use TWRP and OTG USB Stick. Don't save backup in Internal memory.

actual k6000 pro battery capacity or fake

hi i got this from battery calibration

was it true it's pure 6000 mAh ? some proof/hot to get it appreciate .. thanks
[Oukitel (All phone models)] zenix123456:
I think that , if there is not a dedicated chip in the phone to control batterie details & info, it is not possible to know the actual capacity of it. You can compute it with your experiance. For example, my previews phone with a 3000 mah battery used to have 3-3,5 Sot. With the same usage, now i have about 10. So , i believe, the battery is 6000 mah.

For OTA update need stock recovery.

And some partitions right hash sum.

I am already FZ_V7.0 rooted and TWRP recovery. How can I update to FZ_V8.0?

Only for rooted V7:

(maybe need wipe cashe and dalvik cashe from TWRP first)

1. Flash V7 with Flashool, uncheck "userdata" for save your data,

2. Update to FZ_V8.0 normally,

3. Flash TWRP for V7,

4. Install SuperSu under TWRP.

If TWRP not load and you have "dead droid"- reflash it(TWRP).

Yes. MTK VCOM driver... it will enable the PC to detect your phone when switched off.
