Hi guys I know when you change your CSC on your phone you have to type in your IMEI number, if i typed in the wrong IMEI would it change the IMEI number that is displayed on the phone? Its just im sending it off for warranty and i want to make sure that everything seems perfect as I have rooted it. Everything is back to stock and the flash counter is reset. I just wanted to make sure that the IMEI number hasn't been changed or anything by accident when changing the CSC.
Thanks guys

Only you know your correct IMEI have a look on the phone and under the battery .

i know what my IMEI number is, but there are / within the number on the sticker on the back of my phone, where as on the device itself its just 15 continuous numbers, is that normal ?
Also is the IMEI linked with the the CSC, e.g if I changed the CSC to a different one would they know ?

almost certainly not - changing the IMEI is far, far more complex than that
I believe you can also check if the phone is in a rather "legit state" if Kies will let you upgrade firmware (and of course if it recognizes your SIM).

IMEI is unique, shouldn't be unmatched.
Upgrade or Downgrade ROM or anything (say, radio version) shoud not affect IMEI.
Make sure U understand this first. Do not trust someone who telling u upgrading ROM will change the IMEI.
U could search on google to see which one is correct.
I have no idea why some people always saying that their IMEI is not matched. How do they do ?
Disassembly old device and reassembly on a different device ? or ?

The IMEI which is displayed when you use *#06# may have changed but only the last digit, flashing a new radio changes the last digit since it is the version number...this is NOT part of your IMEI.
Flashing the unlocker or any other part of the hermes does NOT change the IMEI so I suggest you double check it against the sticker on the box your Hermes came in. IF it is different then it was always different before you tried any flashing techniques on it.

Are u so sure, before u did the upgrade, IMEI is correct?
U did check it before, didnt u ?
today me they are shrewed that it tightens it * # 06 # answers to me failed now reflash radio and I dawn to you
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
I have a question.
My phone (samsung galaxy s2 gt 9001) has a generic imei, it is completely diffrent than original number imei under battery.
Phone works fine and I can make calls.
I want to flash phone to android 4.0 but I do wonder if phone will return to original imei after flashing (and let me do only emergency calls - original imei is probably blacklisted) or phone will still keep generic imei and allow me to make all calls.
thank you for your help
Did you make an /efs-Backup?
Did this happen after flashing something or...more information please!
You should always back up your EFS folder, which stores your original IMEI. I hope you did, have a look here anyway: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
Chris.
You say your IMEI is probably blacklisted .
Stolen phone ???
A factory reset or flash of new firmware is always the first step to try EFS recovery so yes their is a chance of correct IMEI .
jje
flash clean,stock firmware...an always backup efs folder tht is in good state...
Hi friends, I have a Gt-I9300, I went to Mexico, Panama I used it, perfect, I come back to Venezuela, I change the SIM card and the phone signal is lost, I don't have a real imei, I have a fake one.
Additional, some times the phone show me a message like "factory mode".
I already try to recover EFS, work some tutorials, but nothing. I tried to change the Rom, and install the last one in samfirmware (Android 4.0.4, I9300XXBLFB in PDA, I9300PHEBLG1 in CSC) and nothing happens, still without signal and imei.
For your help.

Why do you want to change your IMEI. Unless it is stolen/lost and reported as such to the authorities which have it blocked?
Note: The OP is asking how to recover from losing their IMEI, not how to change it.
To answer your question, send it back to samsung under warranty and they will fix it.
Sorry its the
I don't have a real imei, I have a fake one.
thats slightly confused me fake as in user faked .
OP
Possible the Sim is faulty .
Additional, some times the phone show me a message like "factory mode
Thats rather odd and i would certainly say also return to Samsung .

No I don't want to change the imei, the phone is showing another imei number. It's not my imei number.
It's not stolen or reported. Just is not showing the imei on the box, or in the back of the phone.

Unfortunatrly your phone's EFS storage got corrupted.
Did you flash a custom ROM? It shouldn't get lost by itself.
The only chance you have is to return it to the seller andmake a warranty claim.
When you get your next phone / fixed phone, root it and backup the /efs partition. That way this cannot happen to you ever again.
How will I know if I installed the right stock firmware of my S3? is there anyway to check it? for when I had my update it does not work anymore.
Serial turns to 0000000000 but with same IMEI. Is there anyway to retrieved the serial number for it does not appear on the status. plus its Service State: out of service.
Thanks
I'd guess you've manually flashed a ROM as the firmware update Samsung provided is unlikely to corrupt the serial number.
It depends what you've flashed as to how to solve it, search and read for other similar situations here in XDA Q&A. You don't give any real details so no-one can help you.
If you made a full back up of all the partitions using the S3 toolkit then this might save you, if not then flashing the right stock ROM might put it right, or even just the right modem for your country.

Search for the exact same question serial number 0000 posted .

Do you not know what firmware you started with ???? or that your phone vendor supplied . No backup ??
Try Kies
Tools Firmware initialization
Or the HDSWVER code in your registry .
