Backup, Edit, Restore Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G QCN File and Repair IMEI

Here you will get an easy guide to repair and restore the IMEI number on your Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G device by using the QCN Rebuilder Tool. This tool is free of cost and easy to use even if you’re new to this process. Now, before heading over to the guide, let’s follow all the requirements and download the links below.

Now, let’s check out the download links and requirements below.

Download Files:

• Download Flash tool: QFIL Tool
• Download Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G QCN File: Not available; you can download genericIMEI.qcn
• Download Qualcomm QCN Rebuilder Tool

Backup QCN

By using this method, you can backup the QCN file for future resolution or you can help your friend who need the file to fix their IMEI or baseband version issue.

Pre-Requisites:

• QPST installed (which includes QFIL). You can download it here.
• Xiaomi and Qualcomm drivers installed. Download them here

Enable Diagnostics mode on your Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G.

Using ADB mode: Connect your Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G to the PC using the USB cable and enter the given command (make sure you’ve installed all required drivers). 

adb shell
su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb

For the second method, enter the service code *#*#13491#*#* and select the required connection

Note: If you’re using a custom ROM you can try the dialer method but most likely you will get nothing after dialing the code. If this is the case you still can enable the Diagnostics mode but you need root privileges. Open a Terminal Emulator app and type this:

su

setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb

Done. You’ve Enabled Or Disabled Diag Mode on the Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G device.

To Reset EFS Partition:

Resetting the EFS (Encrypted File System) partition on your Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G can be a technical process. Please remember that this procedure involves certain risks, including potential device malfunction. Enter the following commands in the command prompt/terminal

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot erase fsc

• flash modemst1 modemst2 fsg & fsc (available in firmware or use readback) via fastboot

fastboot flash modemst1 modemst1.img
fastboot flash modemst2 modemst2.img
fastboot flash fsc fsc.img

Open QPST Tool to Backup QCN

1. Now open the QFIL and connect your device to the PC with the USB cable. Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G should show as connected in Diagnostics Mode.
2. Now tap on the Select port and select your device and press OK.
3. Tap on the Tools tab and select QCN Backup Restore from the drop-down menu.
4. In the next window,  add any name to the QCN file with the .qcn extension. Make sure to select the “multisim” option and press Backup.
5. Once the backup is done, check the generated file size. A normal backup is around 310Kb, if your file is significantly lighter you can suspect a damaged file. In this case, I suggest installing stock ROM and using their dialer method.
