[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] demenicis:
hi. I thought all was good until I stuck a sim card in it. I lost my imei.

any chances someone knows how to recover it?

If not, has anybody got the stock UK version B01? I read that I may have my imei restored if I re-flash stock.

I also read that one way to fix the imei is via FMT mode.

I remember the FMT of the stock rom (at least how the phone arrived) had a small menu written in RED.

My FMT now is a dead screen with a white box in the middle.

I need the FMT with the menu to enter into COM port mode, then I can use the qualcom tool to restore it.

Please help or send me the link to the Stock UK.

thanks in advance

EDIT

please forget the above, here is where I am. forgive me I'm duplicating this post again here because I think it is the right place.

Ok, I have 2 axon 7 mini, the first one is permanently dead. I dug into what I've done and I, very stupidly, copied and pasted dd command too many times trying to get out of the brick, that I ended up pushing the emmc into the boot partition...…..this literally killed it. no deepflash cable, no buttons response with any combination...….dead.

the only sign of life is a tiny dash at the lower right corner of the screen when charging/usb, and if I hold all 3 buttons at the same time it stops. deepflash cable doesn't work at all in 2 different pcs, and on a 3rd pc windows sound after the connection but recognizes a corrupt driver. lets forget about this one and leave for spare parts when/if I brake the screen of my second phone.

Now we are on the second phone.

I have done exactly the same, very carefully now, also bricked it but I'm now an "expert" in debricking it from any situation, except the case above (flashing wrong partitions).

I'm up and running, installed Spanish android 6, then the next android 6, then finally the tulip rom......I'm now on lineage....etc....the phone is fine.

But again I lost the email.

However this time I did managed to re-write it with the above tool. the imei is there, but still no signal.

I only tried the lineage ROM (which by the way is MUCH better than the stock) initially because I read another post (can't find the link) the typing the code *#*#4636#*#* takes me to the radio menu where I can change the radio band to "automatic" (something the tulip ROM doesn't offer), and this fixed someone's phone.

However, this guy had an US phone trying to operate in Iraqi.

My case is different, I have a UK phone and the trick didn't work at all. I'm pretty sure my phone is supposed to have a single SIM.

but when I go to about....imei info I get:

IMEI (slot1) = xxxx my correct imei xxx

IMEI SV (slot 1) = 02

MIN (Slot2) = unknown

PRL version (slot2) = 1

MEID (slot2) = 00000000000000

Is there a KIND SOUL who could help solving this puzzle? I cannot understand how/why the US ROM or hardware wouldn't work in the UK?

I cannot believe an American person that comes to visit the UK wouldn't be able to just use their phone as usual?

Is my imei re-flashing somehow a bit faulty or incomplete?

Any ideas like flashing any particular modem or partition?

I'd really appreciate any kind of help as I have spent 100 hours on this phone I'm starting to hate it now.

Thanks in advance.
