Hi,
Three months after getting this OX+ I get round to using it and put a new sim in it only to find there is no signal and the IMEI number will not display, it is "unknown".
I have just paid for an IMEI report which shows it`s identity and history is legit and the numbers tie-up with packaging and sim card tray and phone serial number. The report also says the phone has not been modified/rooted. The boot loader is locked. Is this a dead duck or are there measures I can take to restore the original IMEI by rooting/clearing cache etc?

i need to unlock my het hero. it needs to get the IMEI number with my htc hero or with my old phone? if using the new HTC hero, but it's locked now, does it still work for getting the IMEI number? many thanks
imei is like the serial number of your phone. without knowing what you want to do with your imei this question is pointless.
What you are looking for is the code:
*#06#
On _many_ phones, if you 'dial' that number it will tell you the IMEI code of the device. But remember, this is not on all phones, and most modern smartphones stay away from this rule-of-thumb, but show the IMEI number somewhere in an 'about this phone' box or only printed on the phone or something.
Good luck.
HTC hero and magic IMEI numbers clearly printed on the box, but IMEI numbers are only useful to the device it is allocated to, I think.

*#06# works on the Hero and the HD.
dear all, i need the IMEI to remote unlock my htc hero. but i text the *#06#
on my old phone and used that IMEI to try to unlock my htc hero. finally it failed. so am confusing that which phone i should use to get the IMEI number. thank you very much. xxxx
i've sorted it out. dont need to insert the sim card instead of pressing the *#06# directly. then got the IMEI. hope this solution also helps others who have the same problem. cheers
There are four ways to check the IMEI number of an HTC Hero:
1. On the box the Hero came in.
2. In the battery compartment. You have to have good vision for this...
3. The afore mentioned code *#06# which you simply dial in the phone app.
4. Settings > About phone > Status > Scroll down until you see IMEI.
No, you can not unlock a phone from another phone.
I'm trying to get unlock codes for a pair of HTC Titans, and to start the process you need to obtain the IMEI code. Unfortunately, I don't have AT&T simcards, only T-mobile simcards. Dialer won't let me dial *#06# to get the IMEI code because of this, saying I can only make emergency calls.
Is the IMEI found in the About screen or from under the battery not valid for unlocking the phones? Any recommendations regarding how to get past this roadblock?
There is only one IMEI number per phone. It could be printed on your box, show up in about screen and under the battery, all the same number.
In airplane mode *#06# brings up the IMEI just fine

On the box, area where your S/N is on the phone (where the battery is placed), and by dialing *#06# ....
I thought there would only be one IMEI number, and that it should be the same. It just seemed strange that every instruction for buying unlock codes asked for *#06#.

That one is the most trustworthy number if you don't know the full history of the phone. For mine, it was brand new in box and sealed so I was comfortable using the IMEI off the box.

does that mean an imei number can change?

Normally changing IMEI is a criminal violation in most of the countries. And normally IMEI is contained in the inaccessible first 256 kb of flash data (part of the phones) or even in separate chip.

Not usually or on its own, but an unscrupulous seller can change the IMEI, or give you a phone with a different IMEI and a box with a different IMEI.
*#06# works perfect with and without airplane mode on tablet 7" dual sims.

find iphone with imei
The guys from iphonetrace group on facebook can find stolen/lost iphones using IMEI
Dears,
I lost my phone yesterday, i'm about to issue a request to track the device i have the box with all the serial numbers .. etc but i was having a fake IMEI problem on my phone and did fix it my bad IMEI was 004999010640000 , will they be able to track it with the original IMEI which printed on the phone box?
Thx
Nope. If the phone is switched on, it will communicate with the network/be identified on the network by the IMEI it currently has (the generic one).
Given 1/10000 stolen mobile phones are recovered (in Australia at least), I'd rack that one up to experience, unfortunately.
Hi there,I had a problem makes me quiet confused. Recently I did buy previously used galaxy s7 edge.The phone come to me as new condition.First I notice missing label on the box where is says serial number,imei,bar code etc...Only other label on the box says europien sim only.Switch on the phone and everything seems to be ok,until I did not put in my sim card. Phone did recognize sim card and network provider but was unable to connect to network.Try with few more sim cards from different country's and network provider but the result was the same.Here comes the funny part.In the phone settings>about the phone there is a serial number and imei number.Both numbers don't match the type of the phone.Even the imei number.On the internet under this imei I find completely different phone.Model of this phone shows as 935fd.This sopostu be a dual sim but it's not.I do have this option for the second sim inside the phones settings but there is no way how to put the second sim in to the phone.Only one sim fit there and one memory card.Root count one.Previous owner maybe somehow manage to flash different model software,or something.What I will like to know if there is a way to fix it.Bring back the phone to it's original condition so I can used for the phone calls also.Thakns for any future respond.Hopefully I make my self clear about the issue I got
Hello to forum and sorry for my English.
I recently bought an S9 Plus Dual Sim. The phone has a strange problem. It can only recognize the one of 2 sim cards ( sim number 1) and has signal but whenever i am going to make a call, gives me the error :“Not registered on network”.
The sim card in the second place of sim tray, is not reading by phone.
The phone has only one IMEI in the settings and when i dial the code *#06#.
The back cover of the phone has 2 IMEI and the one is the same as this i can read in the settings.
I installed the confirmation firmware and i dial up again the *#06# with the same results.
I made a call to official Samsung and the phone is clean and unlocked.
I am so comfused.
Can anyone expain me what is the problem ?
It's very strange... But you can try to send it to warranty service and hope that they will substitute it
