Theft and/or insurance.

hmmm good question

It is illegal to change a phones imei number but i do know how to do it but you need to give me a good reason.. When i had the LG Optimus 3D i once flashed a 3D Max firmware to see if it worked cuz it was identical only with extra 1 gig ram. By doing that it changed my imei number. A member on this forum helped my put my original imei number back on my phone..
Anyway a good reason or no help..

Closed, we don't discuss changing IMEI's on XDA as doing so is illegal.
Restoring them is of course another matter, and is allowed as long as no one starts asking as in this thread, about how to change it.

IMEISV

Hi
I just wonder how to check a geneius samsung phone. I got an IMEISV with 3531xxxxxxxxxxx /01 at the end. Is this ok?
Thanks

That's a major problem. You were actually sent a prototype of a new brain wave manipulation bomb instead of a phone. What ever you do, don't set an alarm as this causes the bomb to go off and might kill everybody in the vicinity who worries too much about unimportant stuff like IMEISV numbers.
The only way to save yourself and others is to do a quick Google search to find out that the SV refers to software version and that the number is your specific version. I hope you survive this crisis and start using Google a lot more as it might help you avoid other catastrophes like this one.

well i googled it and it brought me here..
what i want to know is can that affect the outcome of a unlock code request?
i have the atrix 4g and the unlock code is not working! is there some type special input method or pre-digits to get the phone unlocked?:fingers-crossed:
i got the same. imei number /01 what is that?
Is it not just the imei sv? I have aosp custom rom so it shows in 2 different fields (imei and imei sv) but maybe sammy roms just put it in 1 field.
Do you have an imei AND imei even field?

i need the number to check if Telenor gives out unlocking codes to xpera ray. Please send it on PM if you dont wanna post it in the thread.
Why don't you give your IMEI ? Btw, nobody can give to someone else his IMEI or he could be in trouble.

Ask Telenor if they give out unlock codes for their phones they will either say yes or no. It doesn't matter what brand the phone is as they are all unlockable but at the discretion of the carrier which they are locked too, so ask Telenor before you buy. Don't expect anyone to give you their phones imei number because its no different from asking for someones bank card details as far as phones imei go.

Nope. You're out of luck.
Also, we, the people of XDA-Developers, will not discuss about methods to obtain or otherwise change the IMEI of your phone. Sorry.
How or for what reasons would a imei not be shown.

Well we can't discuss illegal ways to change your imei.
What you can try is to call Customer Service and tell them your imei number says unknown. They can check the system and send info to your phone to see if it can read it. I've done it before and they were able to get my imei "beamed" to and from my phone. It won't work if the phone was reported lost or stolen.

More likely than not, one of the partitions that store your IMEI information got corrupted, thus rendering your phone inoperable due to a corrupt/missing IMEI.
Amaze 4G IMEI is protected by checksum, not simple plain text like in other HTC-s.
I had few customers who destroyed it using certain "box".
Someone locally had this issue, they played it off saying it was booted from normal like that. Htc replacement

did you have any locating app on your phone any kind of security then its possible
Try Android Device Manager. If that doesn't work & you didn't have 'anti-theft/loss' software already installed on the phone, you're SOOL.

Nope. The only people who can track phones by IMEI are police & intelligence agencies, and only where major crime has been committed. They're not doing it because you were careless with your phone.

If you had an EFS partition backup, you could possibly.
But I know TWRP recovery doesn't have that option in the M8.
I don't know if this is a limitation of the device, or the recovery.
That really needs to get added to twrp for this device. Saved my previous phone (e970) several times.

EFS is a Samsung thing.

I have seen CL posting ads in other states that list they can do it, but if you have to send them the phone. One was in atlanta.

They can do it on the m7 as there is a guy on ebay that does it and he uses good imei numbers from the exact same model of phone, but he cant as of yet on the m7.

Yes it can be done with one second. But it against the xda forum rules to discuss imei thing here "I'm really sure it's not illegal to fix or change imei, but it was illegal to change the esn/meid for cdma" because it was used to clone devices esn and use other people's numbers. Unlike gsm.....
Anyway I sent you PM

Yes its perfectly legal because its being done to bring your phone back to its original carrier. I have had people that do this sort of thing say it takes a couple hours just to do the old model htc one. So I dont understand how it could possibly be that easy unless there is software or equipment out to do it.
