Hello.
I've tried to restore my original IMEI, since mine is set to 004999010640000, which is a fake. I've used repair application on Android Market and tried to fix it manually, but with no effect. It is still the same IMEI, regardless, what I do. I may be doing something wrong, but I am not sure. I run on ICS 4.0.1 and it is an original ROM. Rooted. Could you possibly help me with this case? I have an Internet connection and I can make calls, but IMEI is still fake. I also have power menu and lock screen working, so it is just matter of corrupted IMEI number, in my humble opinion.
I hope you help me.

What is the reason?
my htc touch pro IMEI changed after update ROM(official ROM"like as: RUU_Raphael_HTC_ITA_5.05.408.1_R2_Radio_Signed_Raphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship.exe")
and then my IMEI changed 17 bits--REMOVED--
when i install any software,the system to prompt the follow information:
"the program is from an unknown publisher.you should install it only if you trust its publisher.do you want to continue?"
I think this is just occasional,so i update ROM again and again.
but the IMEI is "--REMOVED--" all the same!
You probably don't want to post you imei online (maybe that's a fake #; if that's the case, you should say so).
Your IMEI didnt change =/
Maybe for some reason the soft way to see your IMEI is corrupted, but look under your battery, that IMEI is still the same, and that's what matters because if you warranty your phone for some reason IMEI is how they track it. IMEI is basically a serial number for the provider.
^ not true. It is possible to change your IMEI number with certain software. When a call is made the IMEI # is recorded in the provider's billing software. With Rogers for example, this is the case, albeit few reps know how to find this and fewer still care what your IMEI is or isn't.
Not saying whether the OP's IMEI did/didn't change, but the sticker under the battery only shows the IMEI when the phone shipped.
Just like a sticker on the back of a computer may say "windows xp" while its OS is actually "vista"
When you upgrade to a new version (Core) it will add one number to your IMEI only in form. It is still electronically recognized as the same IMEI, so don't worry. what you will find is that the number is the same, but has now an additional digit or 2 in it. This is just like a revision number & will not affect your services at all. This happened when we old Tilt users went from 6.0 to 6.1 & will likely happen again going 6.1 to 6.5 official.
Do you get your IMIE by dialing *#06# ?
yes mate
Imei changed
Hi,
i work for a mobile provider an I changed yesterday my ROM and today I got an Security check on my work and my IMEI changed also, and that was a little problem. Because they have to check my IMEI number, to look that I have the right mobile with me. The problem is, that Security had only the last 4 numbers, but I found out the new added two digit numbers
Cheers
Hmmm...That's what I said above. It is the ROM/Revision number & it gets added to the IMEI. For anything truly querying the IMEI, it is fine. But it seems your setup is querrying the Registry version of the IMEI.
Anytime you upgrade roms, Usually OEM roms, this happens. It started with the first touch & the Kaiser.

If you ran a ROM that had been XIP'd for any reason (such as to make some software that looks to see the OS version to run), this will modify how windows see's the IMEI, however the radio will read it for what it actually is.
This is interesting... when I warranty return my phones to ATT, they ask me to do the *#06# and have me read off the IMEI... Could they tell if I've changed roms via the numbers I read off?
Could it possibly be a secret way to bust us all?

No, no suits, black helicopters and vans unless you start cloning, there are your previous IMEI's on ATT system, they want to validate the problem handset as you have the ability to remove your sim and call them from a working handset, your account is bound to the sim, then there is always the accounts with multiple active sims, they just need the right one for the RMA.
?Glitch
Hi all,
hope someone can help me. Since this night I am no longer able to connect to my mobile provider. I tested the sim in a different phone and the sim works fine.
When I go to settings, and search for the providers, I get all german providers but when I try to connect, it says it is not possible.
Is there anything I can try? Or could it be that something in my device is broken?
I have JellyBam CM10 4.12 running, but it seems to be not Rom-related.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Check your IMEI in settings/about phone/status. If it begins with '0044' (do not post your actual IMEI or any portion thereof here !), there's your problem. If that's the case, restore your EFS backup (there are heaps of threads about same on here).
Also, there's always the possibility the phone has been IMEI blocked (assuming your IMEI is correct/OK). If your IMEI is correct/OK, call your carrier & confirm your IMEI is/isn't blocked.
If neither of those things are the issue, I'd do a clean install of stock in the first instance & see if the problem persists. If it does, it may well be a hardware issue. If going back to stock does fix the problem, it's obviously a rom issue; maybe try a completely clean install of the rom you were using & see how that goes.

I tried everything except calling the provider.
My IMEI and Baseband is still visible and ok.
If I search for networks, it finds the networks, but says "Unable to connect".
This happens also with stock ICS firmware as well as with the custom ROM.
Does it mean, that my hardware is broken?
Not necessarily. But call your carrier & ask if the phone is IMEI blocked. It could also be a case of something not setup correctly at their end so far as your account with them is concerned.
That's what's you need to do next.

Try restoring your efs folder manually , with a root file explorer, if you have your efs folder backed up on your external SD card copy it to the root directory of your phone
i have restored the EFS folder from my girlfriends phone (just to test, because i have only an img of my backup)
No chance, still no Baseband/IMEI...
Seems to be a hardware issue? Or should I try to get professional help (JTAG?)
Should not be using another phone EFS on your phone. Data are different in them.
Alright, so first of all, my Samsung Galaxy SIII got some damage, and then we brought it to a repair shop. They changed the motherboard, and then returned it to us and it was working fine. The only thing is, the Android version is still on 4.0.4, and whenever I boot the phone, a T-Mobile bootloading screen appears, and it annoys the hell out of me. So, I flashed Android 4.3 Jellybean using Odin. Yet, after the update finishes, the phone won't make a text or a call. It always says 'Not Registered On Network'. So here are some notes of the phone's status...
1. I tried to use Ariza Patch, yet it didn't work.
2. The IMEI's number is not changed to 0000 or anything, it's just a 15-digit number and has a '/01' at the end of it.
3. The signal is full.
How could this be fixed? Is there anyway to fix this? It would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
Take it back to the repair shop and tell them they botched the efs folder after their repair. You might be able to get a network by reading the sticky thread on efs, or the patch thread but you will always have problems with updates unless you get the efs folder sorted by a professional.
I did return the phone, then after that, they replaced the board again. After I tried to update it to 4.3 once again, the same thing happened, still not registered on network. :/
by a accident i deleted my EFS file etc. when i was flashing a custom firmware. Then my phone was working correctly except my GSM.
I searched all the internet and i couldn't find a way to take restore my efs. Than i went to a local telephone technical service in my town and he fixed my phone. But i didn't realise he didint use my original imei. I used the phone a several months then suddenly my phone's gsm didint work. So i controlled my imei and it was "004999010640000". And now i need to change my imei number to my original one. How can i do that? i tried "IMEI MAKER/MP0B_001 file method", "MtkDroidTools" and "MauiMETA 3G" and also some other programs. They worked but specially IMEI parts didnt work.
So i need your help. If its a illegal thing. Just PM me. I didint do anything illegal an i need my phone back.
hi my old friend sorry to hear that some technicians used "bluebox" for restore and attach imei. i dont know any idea :/

IMEI is send over your carrier database, they check all IMEIs over network, your IMEI probably was banned because used IMEI number from someones lost or stolen phone
Hi,
I'm pretty new to this forum, i hope some experts in here and explain to me this problem that i have with my S6 Edge. I bought the phone online for my brother, it worked fine for the first three month then somehow, it got blocked . when i check the phone, the IMEI from the setting menu is totally different number from the back of the phone. I tried to reset the phone, reflash with original firmware but still doesn't work. Can someone explain how this can happened? i checked the IMEI from setting menu, it said the phone is black listed, but the IMEI from the back of the phone is still fine. it's a bit weird.... Thank you
Probably original imei has been blacklisted, old owner has changed it and now this on got blacklisted again
