check this
IMEI is stored in EFS, which is probably not accessible in "user" mode.
(Probably accessible via RAW, eMMC mode).

Also, without patching modem, not to check OTP imei,
phone will always use (read every time upon creating NVM), original imei.

So ... hard work

Hey guys, I need your help.

I was not paying attention and did a direct unlock (counter was reset to 0) for an Orange Roya / Alcatel OT-5042X which had been previously flashed with an OT-5042D firmware + Cyanogen by the client. Now when I insert any SIM card and dial a number it says "Not Registered on Network".

Any advice is appreciated.

This phone have signed modem.
Pathing modem without factory rsa key is not posible.

@stricimacko
Use factory alcatel flasher.
Untill flashing in this phones EFS will be restored to factory state.
If proinfo partition not destroyed when was flashed wrong firmware, this must solve problem.

In this phone some partitions are hidden and not accesible directly even on rooted phone.
Most posible some partitions remain from old firmware and some from new firmware.
And this create problems.
If you are ********* user, is recomened to post in ******** section to get corect help

As supporter said, next time write in correct section.

Anyway - Here's a quick fix, to return phone to stock (locked) and working state :

- Download eMMC RAW tool - HERE
- Put Phone to Download mode with OTU Updater (when start reading phone info, OTU will switch it to DL state), or use key combo vol up + power on, etc.
- Open Raw EMMC tool, read "traceability" partition (pro_info), edit with some hex editor, put desired PID
- Write partition back to phone
- Restart phone with holding power on button longer, will reboot
- Use OTU updater to update phone

that's it.

PID List :
Code:
5042A-2[X=D,S]TLMX1
5042A-2[X=D,S,B]TLCL1
5042A-2[X=B,D,S]TLPE3
5042A-2[X=B,D,S]TLCO1
5042A-2[X=D,S,B]TLUY1
5042A-2[X=S]TLGT1
5042A-2[X=D,S]TLBR1
5042A-J[X=D,S]TLBR1
5042A-2[X=B]TLAR1
5042A-H[X=B]TLAR1
5042A-2[X=B]AVUY3
5042A-2[X=B]AVAR1
5042A-H[X=B]AVAR1
5042A-2[X=B]PSAR1
5042A-H[X=B]PSAR1
5042A-A[X=B]PSAR1
5042A-2[X=D,S]TLNI1
5042A-2[X=D,S]AVDO3
5042A-2[X=D,S]TLEC1
5042A-2[X=B,D,S]TLEC5
5042A-2[X=B,D,S]TLPE5
5042A-2[X=S]LDBO1
p.s. try with original PID first, check in readed file if same as on sticker

b.r.

Use OTU updater to put it to download mode,
when it starts reading information, unplug cable, and kill process via task manager.

Two things :

1st : changing imei is against the law, so any discussion about it will be deleted.

2nd: imei is in OTP zone, and without patching modem, it will be almost impossible to fake it.

For bricked devices:
1. use this link
2. run exe file
3. connect pop2 to usb with vol up + vol down pressed
4. wait for com port
5. press download and wait to finish

that's all, you'll have a russian firmware with english language and android 4.4.4 .

First, method works ONLY for devices which have software issues,
it cant help when boot is erased.

Second, provided "auto-restorer" is FOR 5042D (Dual Sim) model, Russian region.

Third, all credits for updater goes to 4pda Russian forum.
