are nvram and nvdata not mandatory when flashing?
(09-12-2020, 02:40 AM)wilemansion On step 24 of https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21970.html it mentions that items highlighted in pink are not needed when flashing.
now when i look at my scatter file in WWR 2.51 i see that nvram and nvdata are highlighted pink, aren't both of these partitions needed to ensure the device has a valid IMEI number hence arent they crucial in flashing?

No.
You can safely leave them out when flashing and your IMEI won't be affected.
The only times you flash them is when they've been corrupted / wiped; resulting in null IMEI

If you wipe nvram partition or flash an incompatible nvram file
(12-12-2020, 02:40 PM)wilemansion you mention if you wipe nvram partition it will cause a null IMEI, but you also mention you can leave flashing the nvram partition as it won't affect the IMEI, which is contradicting hence doesnt make sense?
