Hi!
I've just rooted my iOcean X7S and also installed CWM recovery using MTK tools.
The only way, i could find, to get into CWM was with the app quick boot, since vol +/- plus power, only entered the stock chinese recovery.
So i decided to try Recovery tools and flash a more recent CWM.
As soon as i did, i shut down the phone, pressed vol - plus power, to see if it would get inside CWM and it got me into the stock chinese recovery mode.
When i was in this menu i pressed accidentally a couple of times the power button in the first option, and i noticed it started showing SIM 1 and SIM 2, like it was doing something, eventually it stopped and i restarted the phone.
When i got into Android, i noticed it didnt recognize any SIM, either 1 or 2, and even tried another couple of different SIMS.



The thing is, i don't know if the responsible is Recovery tools or if it's the stock recovery menu in chinese, when i accidentally pressed on it a couple of times.
Either way, i had made a backup, through CWM of the whole system, just right before i installed recovery tools and messed up in the stock recovery.
I restored the backup and it still doesn't detect any SIM.

Can someone tell me if it's possible, through this Chinese stock recovery menu, to disable SIM cards? (translate if possible too)

If it's not possible, then i'm guessing it's Recovery Tools fault. Isn't backup from CWM, supposed to restore to the state it was before recovery tools was used?

How can i fix this?

Hi again!

I found out the problem i with the IMEI numbers.

In the back of the battery there's only one IMEI number, which is weird since it is a dual sim phone. (Where's the second IMEI?)

Either way, i'm more worried on changing the IMEI than finding what's the second IMEI.

I've tried to change my IMEI to no avail.
From engineer mode, i tried to change it, and when i press "send command" i always get the error "AT failed to send command" or something like that.

Then i tried with MTK tools, the latest one that supports mtk6592, then i go to IMEI/NVRAM and change the IMEI number. When i change it, MTK tools asks me to reboot the device, and when i do it, as soon as i get back to Android, the IMEI is invalid again.

Am i missing something? Why can't i change my IMEI?

Do you have a full backup that includes the nvram.bin and nvram.tar? Restoring nvram via MTK Droid Tools should fix the problem

Are you able to get into CWM? Either through Mobile Uncle or from boot.

Hi!

I have a backup, but as soon as i got CWM into my Android Phone, which means the backup already has this problem, and i did try the backup and it has the same problem, which means the problem was created by MTK Droid Tools when i added CWM.

I noticed i also don't have a baseband, it shows as Unknown.

I don't know where to find nvram.bin or nvram.tar, i only have a folder called nvram, and it doesn't have those files.

I would love to try and flash it with a Stock Rom, to see if it would fix the problem, but there's not one single Rom on the whole internet for this phone.

Is it actually possible to fix my phone, when i don't have any good backup? even with a stock rom?

EDIT: I've searched my phone from one end to the other and there is no nvram.bin nor nvram.tar files anywhere.
I have a folder called nvram in the data folder, which has a couple of folders inside, beeing one of them called md, which has inside another folder called NVRAM, and inside this folder there are 5 folders:
CALIBRAT
IMPORTNT
NVD_CORE
NVD_DATA
NVD_IMEI

Inside NVD_IMEI there are 3 files:

MP0B1_001
ST6A001
ST6TB001

Most of the files in this NVRAM folder are unmodified (have the same date 01-01-2013), a part from a couple of files inside the folder NVD_DATA which were modified by MTK Droid Tools when i installed CWM in the phone, because it has the exact date and time i flashed the CWM.
Some of those modified files are:
MT0X_000
MT1A_008
MT04_000
and so on
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I found the nvram.bin and the user_nvram_only.tar in my MTK Droid Tools backup folder.
The problem is that i did this backup after the problem started, which means the backup already has the problem, right?

-----------------------------------------------------------------

By the way, when i press to change IMEI number in MTK Droid Tools i get and error:
--- ERROR: NOT pttycmd1 device found!

And i tried searching for the file pttycmd1 and i didnt find it in my phone.

Don't know if this helps in any way.

Is it really possible that MTK Droid Tools would do this (lose baseband + imeis) when i added CWM?

Because i remember using Recovery Tools, right after using MTK Droid Tools, and i tried updating CWM to a later version, which makes me think that one of them might have cause the problem. With MTK Droid Tools i was able to install CWM 5 something. With Recovery Tools i tried installing CWM touch 6 something and it wouldn't get into CWM at all, and it would go back to Android OS.

The reason i say it might've been MTK Droid Tools is because i tried to recover from the backup i made, right before i used Recovery Tools, and it stayed the same, thus the reason for me to think that it was MTK Droid Tools, when i added CWM.
