I'd just turn it in. My guess is that if they ever use the IMEI, they just read it off the back. And if they do notice the discrepancy, just pretend you have no idea. "Must be a virus", "But, but.. That's my birthday...!"
Be creative...
lol good one be creative i like it
:lol:
How did you find the IMIE?
I have the other problem, I can't change my IMIE, I have Manipulator running but all I see is the top two entries, Is there a software switch or something else I should do to show it so I can change?
What are the problems with imei manipulation in later radio stacks, I noticed that feature is disabled when 4.21 radio stack is detected.?
No IMIE showing
I know the Later version of the radio stack will not let you run the IMIE change , however mine is as follows a quite early one. Any clues as to why I cant see the IMEI ?

Rom Version 3.17.03 eng
Rom Date: 05/15/03
Radio V. 3.25.01
Protocol V: 32S54
I think there are 2 versions of xda manipulator.
I tried 3 versions of the manipulater, but none of them worked, so i just sent mine back for speaker repair with the IMIE the same as my birthday, they repaired it and sent it bak with no problems, so its still has my birthday as the end of the IMIW and all is working fine

Another issue if u have no signal at all , Just goto ur bootloader and set it to the right signal frequency of ur provider.
thanks for your help but i donot have the previous rom version.
i lost my cd
if it is possible could you advice me an url to download it...
i dont think the rom is on the cd but i would asume that you can download it from the ones who sell the phone like o2 of tmobile or something
otherwise i guess you have to use the kitchens to cook a cutom rom
i had a cd of 2002 i lost it.
how can i cook my own rom?
any urls???
or are there pre-cooked rom that i can be able to download?
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
thnx for your kind help. and sorry for disturbing you that much but when i entered the site you adviced, i saw non of the base rom versions published are mine.
i am using 4.00.01 eng version.
would selecting a different version cause a problem?
or which one do you prefer me to select in this case?
thanks again for the help...
i had the the tmobile 4.01.00 running on my system and it was ok dident have any real issues

But I need 2 know if I can change my IMEI no. as i cant connect the fone 2 the Telstra network (Australia) because the fone was in my ex girlfriends name and to be a ***** she has blocked it... Somebody please help me !
I have responded in your other thread. Delete this one or things will get confusing.

FYI in Australia you can only block an IMEI if the phone is reported stolen to the police... if your IMEI is blocked then the phone has been reported stolen.
You need to sort this out with the police and phone company... changing the IMEI is definately illegal.
Hi,
This phone worked well,after upgrades, in Germany and India but it does not seem to work in UK. I have tried Orange and Virgin operators but not able to make any calls.
I have tried both sims in my nokia phone and these are working fine.
After dialing *#06#, I get a number which is quite different from the number on the back of the phone. So seems it has changed after so many upgrades...
Can someone suggest if I need to change IMEI. I tried updating radio rom to 2.69.xx.xx..but that didnt help.
Thanks
Willy
ROM: 5.2.20.21 WWE
Radio ROM: 2.47.21
Please help me your inputs guys....
Is it because the device has been blocked by UK operators (this would be the case if it was lost or stolen). Is it a G4 or a G3 device? If it is G4, the IMEI can not be changed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=278978

Its G4 device and I bought it from Germany with a contract. To my surprise, IMEI (from *#06#) is quite different from what is on the backside...here I am not talking abt 2 digit diff.
Could it be becoz of the lang. change (from Deutche to English). I am using 6.1 ROM at the moment.
Changeing the ROM should not change the IMEI as they are stored in different memory areas. Do you have the original box? and if so, does the IMEI match that?

Hello XDA members,
I have a big problem with my SGS2!
If i try to run my SGS2 with my SIM (Telekom) then i do not have reception,
but if iam nearly 800meters in front of a send masts, I've got reception. Oô
If i took my old MobilePhone (Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10) i works fine, I took any other Mobilephones/Smartphones it works fine.
If i try to use SIM-cards from other Providers in my SGS2 like Vodafone, O2, Alditalk, it works fine. (But WHY not with MY SIM???)
So i tried to do a Firmware Update on Android 4.0.3, Hydrogen Kernel and new Baseband Versions, NOTHINK Works :/
After this I go to Telekom (i've not buyed there my SGS2, i've bought it from a friend, but he can use it normaly) and described the same,
so I've got 6 different versions of a SIM - Card, like 1,8V and 3,3V variants, NOTHING works! -.-
After this, i tried to ROOT my MobilePhone, but any attempt be unsuccessful.
Nowadays I tryed the Special "Telekom" Android Version (2.3.6) of the SGS2, unsuccessful.
Does any of you might have an idea what I could do?
I hope you have some ideas!
best regards
Cr4nK_3r
[PS: Sorry for my baad English!!!! ]
Hmm.. probably not the best option, but... change your operator but maintain the same number ?
If other sim cards work then there should be the problem with the Telekom one!

One wrong modem/baseband change it .
Two network settings not entered correctly .

Damaged Sim ask for replacement sim .

Sell it or read the faqs and guides posted here and flash a stock rom .
Add to that phone needs a service repair .

first of all, check your EFS. It might crashed before u do anything else as its a possible root of problem. Dial *#06# and does it show your IMEI? Then go to settings and about phone, does it show what baseband you are on? If no imei or baseband unknown, your EFS is broken.
After checking the EFS issue, then u may proceed on thinking bout other solutions to it. Just confirm it first
Hi to all guys! (i'm italian...so sorry in advance for my bad english )
i'll tell you all the story before explain the problem.
One of my friends, give me this phone... i don't know the "Story" of the phone, but he told to me, that it wasn't stolen or anything like that.
Anyway the phone got 3 problems:
1)Battery cold (i got another one - solved)
2)Usb connector damaged (re-soldered - solved)
3)Network.
When i put my sim, i can see that i have 2/3 bar of signal, but i'm not registred on the network....if i do manually, i got "registred on the network" but it's not.
So i'm asking to you all....
1)A COMPLETE stock rom (PDA- MODEM - CSC) for this i9300 (Italy)
2)(if the problem it's still there after the flash) a good efs from another i9300....so i can replace it.
3) Any other help/suggest would be appreciated
Thanks in advance for the answers (you guys are great....i've solved a lot of problems to a lot of people....i'm a technician)
Keep it up ^^
P.S.
I saw the counter of this phone at 09....so i'm worried about the efs or the modem.
P.S 2
I've checked the IMEI with a pay service and the result was "Clean". So it's officially not blacklisted.
P.S 3
Not important but...I've installed meanwhile Rom: Cyan..11 and arter97 kernel...and i'm playing with it ^^"...still not fix the problem.

In the attachment you have the screenshots.
I use here in italy the operator "TIM".....so the firmware it need to be TIM or no brand (ITV).... i actually flashed that one as you can see.
P.S.
For the others....i've noticed (thanks to KaosMaster) that on the back of my phone there is an IMEI....and on the system info there is another....
I think the old owners have changed the IMEI for X reason.....anyway the actual imei is "clean" and not blacklisted.
Anyway the original IMEI (behind the phone) is: 353921057454795
The actual: 356260059752444
I'm no more interested to hide the imei....
i have to know why was changed and if is actually usable the new one (because it's clean) or i'll be forced to use it as spare parts for other s3 and it's a real shame....(i actually have a I9100 T_T)

Flash Boeffla Kernel. I am also face the problem. After flashing boeffla kernel i got my network back.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/kernel-boeffla-kernel-5-2-27-03-2014-t1964572
try this if u dont got the network let me know
sorry for my bad english
This is known problem while your device serial number is corrupted. Best solution is to repair it via Z3X Box and reenter serial number manually. Dirty workaround is flashing modem patched by Ariza and unsecure kernel, in example Boeffla. If you will decide to choose second metod you will be forced to repeat those steps every time you flash a new firmware because your efs will be permanently changed. I suggest box metod, it shouldn't be expensive. In my country it is cost ca. 10 bucks.

This could happen if the board was replaced, it would have a different IMEI. The back plastic was replaced, again same thought. Or the imei in the sticker is bad and changed to good from a defective device. Or the worst, it was cloned.
The serial number I asked for thou is not shown in the images. It is blank. Please provide the one off the sticker and let's see where this leads.
Ok in this moment i got again the error of the connector..so i can't charge the phone >_> I have to replace with a new one T_T
So i'll let you know in this few days any kind of update. (I think i can try to install the kernel...i have enough battery)
Anyway on the back there is just one sticker...no other behind that or overlayed...
and the S/N: is that one RF1C83TA9DJ....
If i have other news i'll let you know in short time...
Thanks for everyone for the support until now.
Wait my news ^^ (fu**ing connector...doesn't charge....he know there is a cable put in is a** because if is in standby, the screen turn on....BUT doesn't charge......i love this kind of situation...)
Here are the STOCK ODIN Service Files!!!

Nothing to do...
I've tried everything.
This complete stock 4.3 with the Boeffla Kernel - Nothing.
Stock 4.3 No brand ITV with the Boeffla kernel - Nothing.
Cyanogenmod 11 Nightly with Boeffla kernel - Nothing.
Wipe/system/devil cache/cache/data on every round....
So the only way is to fix all of it with the Z3X Box... i have to go in a shop (to some of my colleagues) and give to them the phone.....here in italy is expensive this kind of work...50/70$...
Anyway thanks for all your support guys ^^
See you next time (at the next problem )
