Hello all

in need of some urgent but easy help fixing the IMEI invalid / null issue with the phone i recently had to flash a Rom on

details of phone:

Asus Zenfone 3 Max

model ZC520TL or as seen in screenshot X008D

chipset MT6737M

Current Android Version 7.0 original version out of box was 6.0

the situation

i recently was forced to flash the phone due to it being completely dead had contacted Asus support they gave me the current version of the firmware i am using now ( Android 7.0 ) the original out of the box was ( Android 6.0 ).... the phone has now finally fired up and is operational as far as being able to access menus and connecting to my Wi-Fi

the issue i am faced with is invalid IMEI number as can be seen in screenshot had a look around the web and there seems to be a number of tools to deal with this issue but sadly none have helped me i have tried using MTK Engineering mode but when it comes to following the instructions given by some forums i get stuck at the point where it states CDS as this option is missing from the list

other tools require the AP BP database files and i cannot seem to find them online ones i can find don't match my chipset version... i also cannot pull files from the phone as the phone is not rooted and phone either fails to root or has some permission issue and says contact your IT administrator

bottom line is i would really like to get the phone to do what a mobile phone was designed for so does anyone have a simple solution

i should also note i spotted in my Wi-Fi list an error it reads NVRAM WARNING: Err = 0x10 but my Wi-Fi is working

please see screenshots for more info

thank you all

[General Questions and Answers] mamfet:
can you please write a step-by-step procedure to install twrp? when I flash via fastboot twrp, all is ok, but when I reboot to recovery there is only android and write "no command"
[General Questions and Answers] frast1:
I do not understand what causes you twrp not installed.

I just do it like this, before installing twrp via adb, I need TurnOn OEM unlock. Settings> Developer option> OEM unlock.

then install via adb:

1. Fastboot OEM unlock

2. Fastboot flash recovery

3. Fastboot reboot

This is the tool that I use

adb&recovery
[General Questions and Answers] mamfet:
1) command "adb devices" - OK, on command window is "0123456789ABCDEF device"

2) command "adb reboot bootloader" - OK, phone boot to FASTBOOT mode, on phone display is "=> FASTBOOT mode ..."

3) command "fastboot oem unlock", - OK, allow command on phone volume up, then phone return to FASTBOOT mode

4) command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", OK on phone display and command window is all OKAY

5) command "fastboot reboot" - phone reboot, all phone settings is on factory settings (china language,... ).

6) after allowing usb debuging - command "adb devices" on command window is "0123456789ABCDEF device"

7) command "adb reboot recovery", phone boot to recovery, but there is no twrp app, there is only green droid (the droid lies on its back, has an open front with a red triangle and a vicar), below the droid image is "no command"

thanks for help

edit: my device is not rooted, can it be a problem?
[General Questions and Answers] frast1:
Step all the same as I did, twrp should have been installed. I don't understand the problem with your droid. Are you a droid with a fingerprint version or non?

Mi Max 2 Android 7.1.1. NMF26F

unlocked bootloader | TWRP 3.2.3-0 + lazyflasher no verity opt encrypt | rooted with Magisk 18.1 |

currently on stock ROM MIUI Global Stable 9.6.3.0 (NDDMIFD)

Can I do dirty flash of (full) MIUI Global V10.2.1.0 NDDMIXM a0e82e598c_7.1.zip

by flashing it via TWRP (assuming Gapps are built in)

then flashing magisk to retain root

2 questions:

do I need flash lazyflasher again (I think not) + will I retain my data (I think yes)

Please, let me know if I am missing anything

Have read all the nooby stuff so just want to confirm. Very much appreciated!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] lekhraj.gupta@gmail.com:
1. Yes you can dirty flash but clean is always recommended whenever version changes. Always take backup in any case go wrong. Gapps are included in all global miui roms. After rom flash latest magisk.

2. No need to flash lazy flasher after magisk. Data will be there.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] uchithisanka:
Hey guys im planing to buy a note 8 but there are two different chipset models so which model should i buy? and also i heard there is a colour burning issue on note 8 is it happen in both chipset devices or just exynos device.please help me to sort out this problems
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Visera:
Color burning (or screen burn-in) only happens when you run 100% brightness for an extended period of time on a white background. Avoid this and you'll be fine.

Qualcomm is American chipsets. They are locked and are regional models like U, U1, V. They cannot have custom roms at this period of time.

Exynos is the Samsung chipset. It is included in models like F, FD and N. It is unlocked and you are able to flash custom firmware/roms etc such as Lineage, TWRP, Magisk.

tl;dr if you don't know what custom roms are, it doesn't matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vash_h:
Just buy the same variant as the ones they sell locally at your phone shops.

Remember, samsung used Qualcomm's chipset for a very good reason...... If not they would have used their own exynos..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
The only reason that Samsung used the Qualcomm SOC for the US and Chinese markets is due to regional restrictions. Personally, I prefer the Exynos variant of the Note 8. As the Exynos SOC has been proven to be more energy efficient.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] vash_h:
Actually, no. Its the cdma. Since cdma is dying anyway, there is no need to invest to develop cdma into exynos.. That's why samsung just continued to use snapdragon for those markets.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] celticchrys:
If you care about ever flashing custom ROMs, then get an Exynos. The Qualcom variant can't be flashed this way. I'm happily running an imported SM-N950F in the USA on AT&T with zero problems.

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] nickyip123:
I've installed it (apk from Apkpure, because it's not present in Google Play now), and found it doesn't work correctly in stock Oreo on M1.

The calling history is correct, but the contact list is empty so the logs in calling history are only in number form...

So desperate because I really don't like the default dialer in M1, I just prefer the old style which shows the keypad turning on with calling history showing above when I click the dialer.

I've tried different similar Apps and all don't fulfil my simple requirement...

It seems many good dialer & contacts Apps are off the shelf now, what's happening?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] hbr_in:
Loved ex-dialer. but its in-ability to provide proper support to dual sim made me switch to Pixel phone dialer.

Used Pixel phone dialer for long time. But its latest update is pathetic.. The free version is much better than Pro version and it doesn't support proper dpi scaling in the latest version.

Switched to DW Contacts & Phone. Very much happy & its working fine on M1 for me from past 1 year.

it has everything i need and much more

So here is what happened. I decided to take a crack at twrp and rooting my essential phone. its fully updated to aprils patch

unlocked my bootloader. HOWEVER i never used the command fastboot flashing unlock_critical. how ever it still said my boot loaders unlocked.

installed twrp no issue (other then touch but i figured that out) installed elementalx kernal. made a backup in twrp just in case.

booted into android fine no problems. found out my wifi does not work. ok now im just giving up. found out flashing the boot img will fix it. well i flashed it via twrp and when it asked where i said to the boot.

now my phone boot loops. i cant get into twrp. only a default recovery mode for android. i can get into the boot loader but im scared because ADB cant find my device anymore. trying to wipe deivce makes it reboot and boot loop again.

am i screwed? i dont care about the data but its 3am and i think i really messed up my phone

flashed the ROM on G530H XCU and it works perfect!

have some question tho, is this rom using the pure Pie animations? like for the listview and when opening something this and that, the drop down and toast? I noticed some are not pure Pie but I could be wrong.

if you / the dev / anyone can confirm that this rom is using the exact pure Pie animations, I'll be really happy to reflash this rom as this one is based on AOSP (currently running Resurrection Remix but it's based on LineageOS. I love LineageOS but it's just there's no different with using Resurrection or Linegae Pie)

Pixel devices don't run straight pure aosp. They use a slightly modified version of android. Those pie animations might be a bug due to device or maybe ROM sources.

My c5 recently got a problem when I restarted my device. Its screen got dimmer then before. Its brightness control is working but screen brightness at low level is too low that one could barely see. And at higher level it isn't bright then before. As brightness is decreased from a higher level it starts to get a pink or reddish tint which gets higher at lower level with to much dark display.
