I recently flashed (without formatting) a Gionee F100 using SP Flash Tool. After flashing, I noticed that Invalid IMEI appeared on the network names field when I pulled down notification/status bar; network speed had also decreased from 4G to EDGE.

Upon searching up remedies to this issue on Hovatek, I found out troubleshooting steps sometimes involved flashing firmware files that were not having file_name & is_download filled as with boot, recovery, system, etc images in the scatter file -  like nvdata & nvram restored the IMEI, for example.
I'm still having the network issues, nevertheless, and googling didn't give me desired results (probably because I didn't search the right keys).

Anyway, the point of this post being in this section and not the MOBILE PHONES HELP SECTION is because it seemed to me an issue that is related to ROM-flashing generally.

So, what is the file extension/format of these files and which of them should I avoid flashing? Goal here would be to set the file_name in scatter file to  partition_name.<extension> (.bin, .img, or whatever it might be) & is_download to true and finally flashing 'em, eventually regaining the device's full hardware potentials.

as it varies with device make and build/variant.
