All information is on the forum, all you need to do is use SEARCH button.

First and strange thing is - HOW did it lost it's imei, when alcatel/tcl models
have OTP imei programmed into flash memory ic, which always restore,
even after full device wipe even via box ?

If you by some means under "repair" mean "change" imei ... that is a no-go way.
That wont be possible.

Some of quick ideas comes to mind - by simple reading security backup
from working phone and writing to that one via commercial box,
and after that full factory reset - imei should be back to original state.

there are factory APDB+BPLGUI files, but since it's not "user-bootable" device
(you can't simply use MauiMeta, because device has multiple boot authentications),
we can consider it as not user-possible.

One more possible way is - by using factory device updater,
which can be downloaded via this link : Mobile_Upgrade_S_Gotu2_v5.3.5
(install, select id drop-down list model 5059 and follow instructions)
If it will be able to restore it - imei will be also back.

Take a try ... something must work.
