Before proceeding: Only use this tool on devices you own legally, and only to restore original IMEI from a label or box. Changing IMEI to a different number is illegal in most countries (US: 18 USC § 1029, EU: Directive 2013/40/EU).
Some official firmware packages skip NVRAM erase – extract and flash without "Format All."
If you have a bricked IMEI and no technical experience, paying a professional repair shop (using legal boxes like Chimera, Octoplus, or Z3X) costs $10–$30 and saves you from malware and legal risk.
