Usage Instructions

1. Prepare Your Configurations:

   • Fill in your values in the config.txt file.
   • Run mtk_imei.cmd. This will generate a flashable imei_repair.zip file in the out folder.

2. Backup Partitions:

   • Backup the NVRAM and NVDATA partitions.

3. Flash the Repair File:

• Flash imei_repair.zip in TWRP.
• Reboot your phone.

Uninstall Instructions

1. Restore Partitions:

   • Restore the NVRAM and NVDATA partitions from the backup.

2. Clean Up Vendor Partition:

   • Mount the Vendor partition.
   • Delete /vendor/etc/init/md_patcher.rc and /vendor/lib/modules/md_patcher.ko files.

Notes

• The flashable supports all 4.14 kernels (both stock and OSS). You will need to flash it every time you wipe your Vendor partition.
• It includes a prebuilt md_patcher.ko kernel module. Kernel maintainers should not include it in their kernels as it works as an external loadable module only.

Prerequisites

• Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015-2022 (x64).

Follow these steps carefully, and you should be able to fix the IMEI on your Redmi Note 8 Pro without any issues.
