Hello, followed all the instructions, but the WriteDualIMEI app is not recognizing the com port. any ideas?
Make sure you have USB Drivers installed and have opened DIAG port.
I did everything what I had to do on my cellphone and everything was okay, until I had to use the program WriteDualIMEI(W+G_eMMC).exe , this part is not understandable.
In the COM white space, what should I type on it?
COM Port is detected automatically. If it doesn’t get detected, make sure you’ve installed the drivers properly on your PC.
It’s not working for poco f1 .
Kindly send any other liñk
