Recovering Wiko BLOOM IMEI

First I want to clarify that it is forbidden to use this method on a phone ” blacklisted ” by the operators, then note the IMEI numbers that are on the label under the battery or on the packaging box your phone .

Here’s how i repaired IMEI on my Wiko Bloom.
This method was used to redefine the IMEI on a phone WIKO Dual Sim .
Indeed, after an update ” lousy ” the phone had no more IMEI .

1. Download the official update of wikomobile (a file in rar format, in this case, named: BLOOM_V17);
2. Uncompress the file to a folder created on the desktop, where they appeared to me, an application called BLOMM_V17 and another folder named: gpl;
3. I opened the application and after it was open, I closed it;
4. After the application has opened and closed, next to the folder “gpl” and the application, appeared another folder called “BLOOM_V17”;
5. Open this last folder, inside it opens the folder with the same name, and inside it the folder “rom”;
6. In the “rom” folder, open the “MT6582_Android_scatter” file, with the text editor;
7. Where it appears: SYS4 partition_name: NVRAM file_name: NONE is_download: false,
Change the word “false” to “true” (note, do not quote), so that it looks like this: SYS4 partition_name: NVRAM file_name: NONE is_download: true;
8. And save the file, just have it close that it will ask if you want to record, and click yes;
9. Once again the application is opened, and then follow the steps in the application manual, which is also on pt.wikomobile.com, it is important to note that when the phone is connected to the PC, it is switched off and Without the battery pack attached.
10. When you finish the application you have to disconnect the cable of the mobile phone, at this time we have the phone with everything original but still without the imei;
11. We turn on the mobile phone, we define everything that we have to define and we have to disconnect;
12. We open the “SN Write Tool v2.1444.00” program, which you can download from the internet;
13. You will see the following:
14. Load into System Config and it will appear to you;
15. Here they select, put the visas as they come in the image above and put the first 8 numbers of the 1st and 2nd imei of the mobile phone (the two are behind the battery of the mobile phone);
16. Then i load into MD1_DB, and choose the file they have changed previously;
17. Then open the AP_DB and inside the folder where is the file that i changed before, choose the file that starts with APDB and finally load in “save”, it will appear:
18. Here they load in Start, and with the mobile phone off with the battery put, they connect to the pc;
19. You will see the following:
20. Place the imei 1 and 2 complete and load in ok;
21. When the program finishes, a window with an ok to green appears;
22. You can turn on the phone normally, because everything is going to work perfectly.

I did a small tutorial in portuguese where you can see the images that are not in this one (https://www.datafilehost.com/d/6e35cf27)

I hope this will help.

To everyone wanting to use a CUSTOM RECOVERY like Cynogenmod (I’ve used https://mix-androids.blogspot.cz/2016/09/cm-13-latest-for-micromax-unite-2.html): If you still experience problems restoring your IMEI, try using the “Chamelephon” app (you need to enable ROOT mode in your ROM first): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cryptotel.chamelephon. It finally helped me end this nightmare with my friends phone.

One lesson I learned through all this trouble: DO NOT BUY WIKO BLOOM or MICROMAX phones! China phones easily brick or turn out to be a nightmare to root and modify. Get an HTC and you’ll be on the safe side of great hardware quality, fairly easy modifications and a lot of fun with customizations. 😉

Have a wonderful and safe week everyone.
