What FW has been inside before flashing, what state of phone has been before flashing (fully working, white screen, hangs on LG, why do U flashed phone ? for language change??) did U tested phone before ?

many phones flashed and no such problems occured..

Yes phone is working, but I cannot restore imei. I was flash the phone for lang changing, phone before work ok. For imei options need connect powered om phone to box or to usb? I connect to box, but cable is from microbox, maybe there is problem... I was try unlock, bet still not writing, repair eeprom button is inactive too.
Phone type : LG-KE500
Phone IMEI : Unknown
Flash ID : EC78
Flash type : Samsung NAND 64 Mb
current sw: ke500p64 07-v10w
previos ver: ke500p64......v10g

first time I flash with vygis to ver 10v and lost imei, second time flash with original flasher to 10w

how I know for LG IMEI restore/change is via AT commands, so it uses different protocol. U must have correct cable and phone must be connected via serial connection and powered ON.

very strange situation.. but who knows.. some members posted about handsfree allways connected after flashing, but it has been dammaged by wrong cable..

some times flash chip has too many dead sectors (nand flash) and cannot be remapped to good sectors or smth. thats why by flashing new sw version U can get a brick

no no no, it is a very normally that phone get default imei after flash and unlock procedures, I know this with working with different tools, only important question is how to restore original imei now

I cannot restore via serial cable, plz share AT commands for imei changing also you must present right sable schematic for performing this operation as I say before, I use cable from microbox set and there is available operations only in boot mode, maybe some vires is not connected for normal mode operations....

do U used Vygis tools to flash phone or others ? If U used Vygis SW then look in support - there must be right cable pinouts described, Vygis implemented Imei rebuild via AT commands, so if your phones HW is 100% ok - then U must make right cable and your problem will be solved
