How to restore Imei on Android after flashing?

The absence of Imei on Android is a serious error due to which the device loses the communication signal, which makes it impossible to make a call, send a message or access the Internet.

Reasons for failure:

Some models of Chinese smartphones can work without an identifier, but if you have a high-quality device of a well-known brand and your IMEI has flown, the device will not work correctly.

Manual recovery

Dial *#06# on your Android phone. If the IMEI code does not appear on the screen, then you urgently need to restore it. You can see the identification number on the box, in the instructions or under the battery. If the smartphone supports dual SIM, then two IMEI numbers must be indicated.
