Alright: Lesson 1: Why the IMEI isnt a reliable method.

When Carlcaresophia posted a thread on tracking a lost Tecno phone using your IMEI (refer to https://www.nairaland.com/2122383/how-disable-stolen-mobile-phone) and I quote

Carlcaresophia:
To check your Mobile phone s serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably would not get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can not use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

You can imagine my reaction after reading that thread.
Changing the IMEI on an MTK phone is hyper easy, GLO BIS 101 & IMEI Tweaking 101
The same method used to fix a null IMEI can be used to change the IMEI . the video below sheds more light on this

* Summary: An IMEI is far from being a reliable criteria.

INTROVERT:
I'd rather die than use techno

lol!
you must really hate Tecno phones.

Guys, this isnt an inferiority / superiority thread
it you use an iPhone, there are fake ones
it you use a Blackberry 10, there are fake ones
it you use a Samsung, there are fake ones
it you use a HTC, there are fake ones
so far what you use has a good market, you can bank on finding a fake somehere!
and guess what, most people who tout these brands cant even differentiate an original from a fake.

Most people seem to be satisfied with the IMEI-VC method @ http://gc.tecno-mobile.com/ . Its even more surprising to see many popular Nigerian Tech. blogs chorus this same inadequate approach without scrutiny. The IMEI-VC test is inaccurate because all that's required to pass this test is to change the sticker behind the phone and write some info. to the phone.
We decided to carry out a research by comparing fake/cloned Tecno phones to original phones (side by side) and it was only a matter of time before we encountered a fake Tecno M3 that passed the IMEI-VC test flawlessly (just as we expected would happen soon).
I'll be discussing some of our findings in this thread to help you better differentiate an original from a fake Tecno phone.

Please
* If you're a die-hard IMEI-VC loyalist and not willing to listen then you can just click the back button instead of arguing unnecessarily.
* If you're Anti-Tecno then please, don't try to troll; we've done the same for original Samsung vs Cloned/Fake Samsung and other popular phones (Infinix just might be next in line if these pirates are still who they are) so this thread is aimed at helping, not arguing superiority or inferiority

needinfo:
i did it as mentioned in the video but no scatter files was inside. I don't really know why i can't create scatter file even when using same device you used in the guide. You mentioned something about if the pertition don't come out wron, the naming will. I make use of same device like you did on the video but the scatter file button is not clickable and even when i made back up, i did not see scatter file

I believe you're seeing the wrong video, seems like you're referring to the readback approach which involves both MTK droid tools & SP flash tool

Kamaye:
I used hifont on different types of phones, Gionee P2, P4, Tecno P5, M3, Lenovo A536. Font have never bricked my phone.

We've tried many fonts on many phones too and still no brick. even the exact fonts and phone models that those who bricked their phones said they used.
still believing that we'll hit the font brick jackpot soon so we can properly test the upgrade of our tool

needinfo:
bro , you never answer my question since months back.i can't get scatter files from droidtool.i made a screenshot of the error i usually get on this thread but you have not responded. Here is the thread https://www.nairaland.com/2303658/how-use-sp-flash-tool

really sorry bro, was having some issues with the Nairaland bot due to answering a lot of people's questions (without posting any links). I guess it saw the activity as spammy. had to stop answering questions.
the method you're trying to use isnt advisable. if the partitons dont come out wrong, the naming will.
it's best you backup the phone using the guide below. the backup will contain the scatter file(s) and other files you'll need.

If your phone has ever been bricked as a result of changing fonts then we would like to know:
1. Your phone model
2. The fonts app you used
3. The specific font that bricked your phone

We're working on an upgrade of our Auto Font Unbricker tool and the above information from you will come in handy

shuggah:

Akerekoroabijawara:
I flashed preloader,MBR,EBR1,UBOOT, BOOTIMG,RECOVERY,SECRO,LOGO, Those ones are ticked, but ANDROID,CACHE,USRDATA do not have part and not ticked

that explains a lot. please, contact us via BBM or Whatsapp for further support.

Akerekoroabijawara:

I installed one dre by beat apk file on the phone.immediately the installation ,the phone started displaying "unfortunately dirac has stopped" persistently, I could not able to use the phone. I now got the stock rom of someone using the same phone.
I flash the rom using the steps on your video.The phone will power,but not booting. please help

list the files you flashed in sp flash tool

Akerekoroabijawara:

thanks. i used exact files from phantom z mini.
The phone doesnot use memory card.It has inbuilt memory.
i did factory reset in recovery mode after flashing,still no joy.
please help oo.

true, phantom Z series have no external SD.
would help to know how the phone got bricked and how you obtained the backup you're trying to flash.
That would tell a lot

dragnet:

being a mod is not about acting 'god' or oppressing members, every community has defined rules and these rules are meant to be enforced. So if you choose to be part of such community, it's paramount upon you to abide by those rules and If you've been assigned to enforce the rules in a community, it's either you do your job or you resign.
the Yorubas will say "you can't be given the duty of a hawk and not be able to carry a chick!"

I take your comment to mean this is settled and we can all get back to our normal lives.
You see, there are too many device issues to help fix, still much Dev. work undone, too many phone technicians to train (and help expand their businesses) for our Team and You (who should both be helping) to get caught in a pointless row.
The same Yorubas will say "When two Elephants fight, its the grass that will suffer"
The point is, we care strongly about the grass in question because they're our future, so lets sheath our swords and save our strength for the true enemy ahead.
*Extends hand in friendly handshake*

Akerekoroabijawara:
please, i just used your video as a guide to flash my phantom z mini. but my phone stuck at bootlogo.what should i do

ensure you're using the exact files for your model
ensure there's a formatted sd card in the phone during flashing
do a factory reset in recovery mode after flashing

dragnet:
it isn't an allegation and I believe we communicated during the spamming saga, or should I present evidence to refresh your memory?

Considering you guys reputation for closing or deleting threads / posts that are not in your favor, think its best to pass on a fallout with you.
Being a Mod doesn't make you a god let alone God so stop oppressing your members.
BTW, you might want to refer to the email we sent back then before you degrade the situation any further.
Summary: You've won by a knockout..... just to let peace reign.

dragnet:
this is better than spamming the board

Spamming what board? Please, carry out your research properly before leveling accusations.

Chyjoey:
goood day sir...please what of the custom rom for tecno p9 you said you were developing..

We only just completed our developers release for Tecno M3. We developed a true 4.4 upgrade for Tecno M3 4.2 (not a themed ROM like the Kitkat ROMs you might've been coming across).
It was a very tasking project because we had to use kernels from other close MT6572 devices since Tecno wasn't forthcoming with their source codes despite all our efforts. Still have a few more patching to do here and there but the boot.img and frameworks are stable, just a few /lib and /bin tweaks left.
Cant tell you for sure if and when a true P9 4.4 or 5.0 will be released by our Team but we'll drop guides and videos on our techniques to help other developers replicate / improve on them
