If you’ve ever flashed your Redmi 9A and suddenly noticed that your IMEI number is missing (showing as null or blank when you dial *#06#), don’t panic. I’ve been there – and I’ve got a fix that actually works without formatting your phone or losing any data.
Whether you’re a technician or just someone trying to get their network back, this guide will help you step by step.
🧾 What’s the Issue?
- Phone shows “Null IMEI” or no IMEI at all
- No SIM network, no signal, emergency calls only
- Baseband might also show unknown
- Usually happens after:
- Flashing the wrong firmware
- Dead boot repair
- IMEI corruption during SP Flash Tool use
The Solution – No Data Loss Method
After trying a few risky options, I came across a tool that works smoothly for the Redmi 9A (MediaTek variant) – and the best part? It doesn’t touch your internal data.
Here’s the tool I used:
📥 Download – Redmi 9A IMEI Repair Tool (Safe Method)
This ZIP file includes:
- IMEI Repair Tool (MTK Supported)
- Secure DA file for Redmi 9A
- Drivers
- Instructions
🔌 Step-by-Step Guide (What I Did)
âś… Step 1: Install the Drivers
Install the MTK drivers provided in the file. This helps your PC detect the phone properly.
âś… Step 2: Launch the Tool
No complicated setup — just open the tool from the folder. It supports Meta Mode, which means no flashing or data loss.
âś… Step 3: Load DA File
Load the Secure DA File specifically for the Redmi 9A. This is important to bypass boot security.
âś… Step 4: Connect Phone in Meta Mode
- Turn off your phone
- Press Volume Down
- Plug in the USB cable
The tool should now detect your phone.
âś… Step 5: Enter Your IMEI
- Input the original IMEI from your box or back sticker
- Click Write
- Wait for success confirmation
âś… Step 6: Reboot
Once done, disconnect and turn on your phone. Your network should be back, and IMEI will show up again with *#06#.
⚠️ Important Notes
- Use only your original IMEI – writing fake or random IMEIs is illegal.
- Charge your phone to at least 50% before you begin.
- If antivirus flags the tool, disable it temporarily — it’s a false alarm.
- Works only on MTK version of Redmi 9A (make sure your phone is compatible).
🧑‍🔧 Final Thoughts
I’ve used this exact method on multiple Redmi 9A units that had “null IMEI” and it worked every time — with no data lost, no root, and no complex flashing.
If you’re stuck in the same situation, I highly recommend trying this method before jumping into risky solutions like formatting or firmware resets.
