You must have the DB files either extracted from your phone or from the full firmware which i guess you don't.
BTW, what's your device exact chipset?
If i go in my phone Internal Storage .. Root/etc/mddb/BPLGUInfo .... <----- If i copy this files in download on my phone ... connect the phone to the pc .. copy the files from Download in the phone flies to the pc with the USB cable Transfert files ... it's okay ?
Phone Device : Asus_X008DA Chipset : MT6737 ..

You'll usually find the DB files in the official firmware. Should you not find the file(s) in the firmware you downloaded, you can easily extract from your device.
Steps to extract BPLGU / MDDB from a Mediatek device
To extract the DB files(s) from a Mediatek Android phone:
- Root the phone (you could use Magisk )
- Install a root browser like ES Explorer or ROM Toolbox Lite
- Navigate to /system/etc/mddb/
- Copy BPLGUInfoCustomAppSrcP**** from /system/etc/mddb/ to your device's storage and then to your PC
Important Notice
- Should you flash a different firmware after extracting the DB file then you best re-extract the DB when next you wish to use it an a tool else you could run into 'DB inconsistent' error codes
- You best extract the DB file only from the phone you wish to work on. Using another device's DB files could give errors in the IMEI write tools

I have mt6755.
ROM is a Generic Android signed system, and yes it is rooted. But the problem is there's no option anywhere in the settings to grant root access to the Root Explorer app. So i'm wondering maybe I can pull the directory via adb.
The exact rom is: SW_K96092AA1_V016_HW_96092_1_13_M1621_USR_signed
