not encounter any errors if you have installed the way I have instructed you to
05:37
install. Alright! So this is nothing to panic about. I'm done
05:43
installing my Mediatek VCOM drivers. I will go ahead and launch my Maui meta
05:48
as Administrator. I prefer to run as Admin to avoid permission issues but if
05:55
you're not an Admin on the PC just double click or run as a regular user but I prefer
06:00
to run as Admin alright?
06:07
So, I have this up. Now, at this point you would want to switch off the phone but
06:15
don't connect it to the PC yet. Just switch off the phone still with the
06:18
battery inside but do not connect it to the PC yet. Now, you would want to
06:25
observe this. This is red as you can see. This is indicating that there's no connection
06:29
at all and under this tab, you'll want to select the appropriate option for your
06:35
phone. I'm using a smartphone so I have smartphone ticked. No other settings to
06:40
change. I'm going to leave this as USB COM so
06:45
there's nothing to change on this dashboard alright? So I click on
06:49
reconnect. Now, at this point, you'll see this changing from red to green
06:55
so what you'll want to do now is to - with the
07:03
phone switched off and with battery inside - connect it to the PC via USB
07:07
cord without holding any button on the phone.
07:13
Alright! So you'll observe that your phone would
07:18
boot up and it will get stuck at the boot animation. Alright!
07:30
So what I have here is a charging sign. I might have to reconnect.
07:40
Alright I'm going to reconnect
07:47
yes, I've reconnected and its no more the charging sign. I'm seeing my boot
07:51
animation right now. So if you see the charging sign the first time you connect,
07:55
you disconnect and reconnect. So your phone is going to boot up and it's going
08:00
to get stuck at the boot animation so do not panic, that is your
08:04
phone in meta mode alright? Its not bricked. So my
08:08
phone is stuck at boot animation and I have this prompt here. What I see here is bar
08:14
code but I'm not trying to write a bar code to my phone so I will just
08:22
close this. Alright! So I have a yellow circle here indicating that it has been
08:27
connected good and phone information is displayed here. So what I want to write
08:32
is an IMEI to the phone so I will just click on this drop-down at the top left
08:39
corner and then select IMEI Download. Now, it's illegal to change your IMEI in
08:49
certain countries if not all countries so ensure you're not breaking any laws by
08:54
writing an IMEI to your phone alright? So once the IMEI download dashboard has
09:03
popped up, what you'll want to do now is to click on Change NVRAM Database File. Its at
09:10
this point you're going to load the MD1_DB file I'd
09:15
mentioned earlier on. So you click on Change NVRAM Database File. Now, a
09:20
window will pop up. In this window, you now navigate to the location where you
09:25
have the MD1_DB file and you select it. Now, it'll usually be named
09:30
something like this BPLGUI..... Its going to be
09:36
named something like this alright? This is an APDB and not the file you need
09:41
although you'll need this when using SN write tool but for maui meta, you need
09:46
just this file alright? So you highlight this file and you click on
09:50
Open
09:53
highlight and click on Open
10:06
Alright! Okay, so you'll notice I
10:17
have the file path listed here (written here) so that means it's currently loaded. I
10:22
also have checksum here. So at this point, you've loaded the database file
10:28
(the DB file) so you'll want to select your SIM 1 or 2 depending on which you want to
10:33
write the IMEI to. I will just select SIM 1 and then you
10:38
type in the IMEI. Now, you'll notice that you have just enough space for 14
10:45
digits here so you're going to type the 14 digit of the IMEI
10:59
Alright! So automatically, it generates the last digits for you
11:03
[Overhead Plane] so with IMEI inserted and my SIM selected, I go ahead to click on
11:08
Download To Flash. Alright! so I have this message saying Download IMEI to flash
11:13
successfully alright? So what I just need to do now is to disconnect the phone and then
11:18
hold the power button till it goes off and then reboot it or if the battery is
11:24
removable, just take out the battery and then you re-insert it then you dial
11:31
*#06# to check your IMEI and you should see that the IMEI has been successfully
11:36
written to the phone. So that's basically how to use Maui Meta tool.

[@henryedeh5944]

You are good. God bless you for sharing this freely and well detailed. I almost killed myself downloading and testing every *mtk engineering mode apps* but couldn't see _CDS_ in there. I know of SN tool, but I don't want to tamper anything sp flash tool again cos it put me into all these 7 days of dead phone. Thanks again. *MAUI META* all the way.

[@henryedeh5944]

My only concern now is that I have the suspicion that I might not get 4g network cos I no longer see that 2g/3g/4g option in my network menu. Could this be possible and how to fix?

Thanks for the nice informative video. I could successfully restore my Phone IMEI number. Initially, I faced difficulty in connecting the phone. It was showing COM port error and some other error. But as you entioned I kept retrying to connect. Finally, after 15-- 20 mins it got connected. I restored the IMEI numbers, and the phone is working perfectly fine. one cell phone service mechanic asked exorbitant money to restore it. I dropped the idea and panned to by new phone. But this video saved my bucks. Thank you again
