Quick, safe steps to back up and restore the ingres QCN for Redmi K50 Gaming / Poco F4 GT to resolve “No Service/Unknown Baseband” without altering IMEI.
What is QCN on ingres?
QCN holds Qualcomm NV/RF items for ingres (calibration, band configs, IMS toggles). It is device-specific. Restoring your own backup can fix No Service, but importing someone else’s QCN can break radio and is illegal if it alters identifiers.
Before you start on ingres
- Install Qualcomm drivers (HS-USB Diagnostics appears in Device Manager when Diag is enabled).
- Tools: QPST (incl. QPST Configuration & Software Download) or QFIL.
- Battery ≥50%, original USB cable.
- Legal & safety: Never modify or rewrite IMEI/MEID. Only use your own QCN backup.
Back up QCN on ingres (when the phone still works)
- Enable Diag port (developer/engineer method or ADB if permitted): connect USB and ensure a “Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics” COM port is visible.
- Open QPST Configuration → add the COM port → Software Download → Backup tab → Browse → save
ingres_mybackup.qcn
. - Keep this file safe; it’s tied to your unit’s calibration.
Restore QCN on ingres (network fix)
- Boot the phone and enable the Diag port again; confirm the Diagnostics COM port.
- QPST → Software Download → Restore tab → select your
ingres_mybackup.qcn
. - Start restore → wait for “Download Succeeded” → reboot the phone.
- After boot: verify Baseband version, SIM detection, LTE/5G attach, VoLTE/IMS registration.
Common causes on ingres & quick checks
- Modem mismatch: Use firmware/region whose modem matches your build.
- Persist/modemst corruption: If baseband is “Unknown,” reflash full firmware (clean) before QCN restore.
- Bands disabled: Use a Qualcomm NV viewer only to read and confirm bands; avoid writing random items.
- Hardware: Inspect antenna/spring contacts if drops or repairs preceded the issue.
Legal & safety notes for ingres
- QCN restore is for repairing your own device’s calibration only.
- Do not share or import QCNs from other devices.
- Altering IMEI/identifiers is illegal in many countries and can permanently block network access.
