Hey all. Been trying to zero my IMEI for hours now with no luck at all.

Phone is rooted and pretty sure the Bootloaders unlocked (although I don't know how to check)

Been following the guide on how to backup the IMEI with 5irom, where the phone should reboot into a loop is where I'm having problems, my phone just boots as normal and the IMEI stays intact?

Don't think there's another way of downgrading B952 so I would really like to get this working if possible. I'll end up floggin the phone if I can't downgrade..

Any thoughts where I could be going wrong fella's?

This is what worked for me in your situation. Attempt to zero the imei. Then try to flash a b952 or 936 dload - forgot which but i think 936. Then your imei willstrangely become different - doesn't need to be 0 in case that's your problem. And you can downgrade to gingerbread.

Is the official huawei ICS to GB downgrade of any use here?

Unfortunately not, it won't downgrade B952 apparently.. Think I'll try what fuzzyy suggested. Thanks chaps!

Sorry -  just thought it might be possible to install B936/7 over B952 and then use the Huawei official downgrade from B936/7 to B895? I guess not?

Not sure.. gotta be worth a try.

Anyone know if root has to be taken off before the official downgrade method or will it just over write?
