Can't use cellular data because of invalid IMEI
-
@ayatachibana Good at least you have the info. If you can't get help in the telegram group and have to go back to Android first read this
http://www.mibqyyo.com/en-articles/2015/09/16/ubuntu-android-installation-process-for-bq-aquaris-e4-5-and-e5/#/vanilla/discussion/embed/?vanilla_discussion_id=0
Its not UBports at all but may help in the reflash to Ubuntu touch as that seems to be where the imei is vanishing and seems to be something in SP Flash Tool settings. Lets hope the welcome install group can help.
Also theres no need to copy the whole of the post your replying to into your post, maybe just a line if your refering to something specific, and those three little verticle dots at the bottom of the post allow you to edit the post etc when pressed. -

Lets hope the welcome install group can help.I actually tried those instructions already. Before finding UBports I was following that tutorial. But in which part there''s the IMEI problem? I didn't see it there.

Hello Aya,
first my English is very bad
Had the same problem with my BQ E5.
Install UBports
Use this Windows program (runs under Wine)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3388525&d=1435877944
to create your IMEI files.
Type IMEI1 & IMEI2
Click On MP0B_001 it will generate the MP0B_001 file
Copy that MP0B_001 file in SD Card /DownloadsThen runn
adb shell
cd Downloads
cp MP09_001 /android/data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/
REBOOT
that worked for me

Hello Chris, and thank you for the help.
I created the file that you said, but when I try to copy into /android/data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/, it says permission denied, how can I fix that?
EDIT: ok, I got it working now. It works! Thank you for the help Chris!

@ayatachibana OK it seems your all sorted so well done. As for the deleting imei if you look back through the first post you linked to @gnu-mobile mentions how it can happen when using SP Flash Tool by overwritting/formatting all partions rather than just upgrading the OS.

maybe a case for @WLBI

@lakota we need a flash tool,with that function disabled
There's a mission for someone.
Hint hint -
@marathon2422 It would certainly be safer for everyone ; )
(Avoids any response to heavy hinting due to total lack of programming/dev skills)

A cese for me?
Well, in my BQ M10 Tab, the IMEI was also gone and I need to enter the WiFI password after reboot, when I want to connect again to the same WIFI.
The problem was, the NVRAM was broken. I contact BQ and I can send my old device to them. They replaced it with a new one. It was was warranty case after 1 1/2 years.Edit: The IMEI was not gone, it was:: 0123456789ABCDEF
-
@wlbi I sent my m10fhd,back to BQ,it was returned undelivered 3 months later,it just sat in a mail facility,and was sent back eventual,so I still have the NVRAM problem
Kinda reluctant to send it again -
@chrisewcs hi! thanks for your help, I tried this, the complete path was not existing so created it and copied the file inside but I still mess the IMEI.
any other idea ?
thanks
