Hello, wish you have a good time.
I've got a Huawei g750 t-01. Once I updated it to android 4.4.2 and now its serial number seen in setting > about phone is different from the one labelled on the back of the device beneath the battery.
Is it the way it should be or... ?
Thanks in advance.

Shouldn't happen, may have been different when you got your device, but if you're sure it was the same prior to update then I would be suspicious of that update, was it direct from oem?

Can't remember whether it was the same before the update.
And I updated the device via recovery mode.

Its real unlikely the update changed the serial number, I would assume it was either tampered with if you bought it used or a mistake from factory

Thank you for the answer.
So, would I face any problems?
If I wanna contact the company, is my phone a valid one?
Sent from my HUAWEI G750-T01 using XDA Forums
Its valid as it works but if you have issues down the road there could be warranty issued. If you purchased direct through the oem or official supplier you should be OK, if you bought through a 3rd party like eBay you may not. Either way just hope for a problem free phone

How many of you have settings/about/status stating that your serial number is unkown?
I am trying to figure out if this is a flaw or if its no big deal. Also want to know if this is what is causing me from not getting any ota update yet.

Add one more to the list. I've done multiple factory resets to no avail.
Additional info as FYI
Purchased from Best Buy
Actual serial number ends with 32919
Shows up here too, and match the label near charge port, mine from BB
so far there are 3 of us with no serial number and no OTA and at least 2 of the 3 bought from best buy
Mine`s a champagne from Abt
ive had several posts about this and i do correlate not being able to get ota updates because it is showing serial number unknown. Mine is a US unit bought from best buy.
I really hope mine doesn't have this problem... I ordered mine from best buy and it should be here sometime today..

I bought mine from Gamestop and I don't have a serial number as well and no OTA updates either.
Well looks Like we solved this mystery as to why some can't get ota updates ....now for the person who solves this puzzle they will get a nice shiny reward!
I wouldn't mind if mine had this problem. I never accept ota updates after i am rooted anyway. And if you have no serial number what will Asus copy to void your warranty when you use their bootloader unlocker.

We have a serial on box and outside of tablet but not in the actual about tablet area under settings. Not a big deal not to be able to do ota updates but it may delay us getting ics which sucks.

Yeah, not getting OTA-update is not a problem. But the waiting time until they put the latest firmware on their server is annoying.
I think everybody who has the problem should write Asus. It's the only way that they will start to look into this.
Have any of you tried to update via a microSD card?
The procedure is here.
note: the document ("Updated Version of SOP(English)") references TF101, but was present in the "manuals" section for the TF201 at support.asus.com.

The problem is asus hasn't posted the newest firmware. If someone with root could just get us the latest zip from their updated prime we would be able to update via sd card.
Asus
has anyone spoken to ASUS support on any offical issue?
Could be a group of productions models have defects. id check with ASUS incase it affects your warrenty.

Hi I have installed slim 4.2.1. rc1 official, Andr version 4.2.1 baseband I9300XXELKC. Having troubles with all calls, I cant make any and can't receive neither. On the top left corner appears icon saying that all calls are being forwarded.
What it can be and how to fix it?
Thank you very much advance for an answer :-/
reinstall the rom and it might help
or try unrooting and rooting your phone again and installing the rom again
i'm not a pro i'm still a beginner

Did you follow install instructions properly ie. Format data and system?
Go to call settings and see if the call forwarding option is enabled. If not then reinstall the rom properly or try a different rom

Yes thanks to all - i installed everything the right way and do not have any call forwarding enabled in the menu. The phone has been blacklisted and now i have to reflash it. Does anyone know what exactly should be flushed into my brick ? I bought it on the street cheaper than usually, that's why now I have a problem. Please send me PM if someone has more experience than I do.
If the phone has been black listed then there is nothing you can do apart from learn not to buy dodgy phones from dodgy people on street corners.
You can go to the police and return the phone to the owner, he must be looking for it
In most cases not, since it's usually insurance fraud (especially the ones in boxes with ths stickers still intact)
Why do people buy a 500€ phone on street corners? How about warranty etc?
Samsung does not have to fix your phone, the seller does.

You have already been told,, if it is blacklisted then you can either go to police, report it as stolen/fraudulent and see if they can help you resolve it, or you could get your money back from the seller.

I did the CC to OEM successfully, just wondering if I did get an OTA prompt could I go ahead and accept it? Would it work as normal or fail/brick my phone? I didn't root, just bootloader unlocked for the conversion
yes, you can. Your phone is pretty much 99.9% (if not 100%) OEM.

This is probably correct, if they don't have a system in place that auto rejects ConsumerCellular/Wind IMEI numbers.
We won't really know for sure until there is an OTA.
I haven't checked today, but Huawei pulled the update. Couple quirks that they need to iron out.
Other apps not staying default, one I've had plus it appears to be eating the battery a bit more, but,
with the 4000 mAH battery, it's no big deal.

Does anyone know if the Canadian WIND phones will get the Lollipop update? My build number is MT2-L03V100R001C113B128 and I already unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP (for other reasons).
Thanks,

They pulled it, but then there was a post by one of the employees saying to send in your IMEI number to receive future Lollipop OTA's.

Yep, saw that on the Huawei site about a day or two after they released it. Mine should be in their system, but I don't think the update will be coming soon.
I'm starting to get the feeling, they released whatever they had, on the 30th, to satisfy their "in the first half of 2015" pledge, and will sort out the bugs later.
If a consumer is the type that wants cutting edge updates, go with an iphone or Nexus. Otherwise, it's up to the carriers (if ever) to release it or the device maker, if purchasing an unlocked non carrier branded device. The couple quirks on 5.1 aren't that big of a deal, it's stable otherwise.
If it hadn't been for Huawei releasing an easy way to go back to 4.3, I wouldn't have updated. I don't ever turn my device off, so the launcher not sticking, along with the 3rd party SMS program isn't that annoying. It appears it's sucking just a bit more juice, but, with that 4,000mAH battery, it's no big deal, even running in "normal" mode.
Here it is:

Agreed, seems like they are just throwing things out there to cover themselves legally, its hard to find tools like this from their sites so they seem to be just doing it for the sake of doing it. Seeing as they are recalling all of them anyway it makes no sense unless they were trying to put peoples minds at rest but could back fire if their imei checker is as faulty as some batteries.
Imagine the lawsuits that would come if someone checks there imei and it gives them the all clear, then there phone catches fire.
Currently they are on one big ass covering exercise and not doing a very good job of it either
Only annoying thing about this whole debacle is two hours before they announced a recall i had sold my note 5 lol (with your rom on it of course!!!)

Just a thought!
Total recall policy is doubtful. It will never been clear what exact they will provide with new devices. Just new battery ? If so then certain batch don't have issue will remain same ?
Better Samsung have recalled every device and refunded them it could be wise decision. Later after couple of month may come with N8. They may get little loss but surely emerge with clean image and that would be total profit.
Mine's affected, good thing i took mine back this morning.
those IMEI check tools will be official after replacement take place
so you find out from which batch your new N7 and be rest assured its safe
for now maybe all SDI show's as affected
Mine is affected. No surprise.
Just tried mine.Duos bought in dubai and none of the 2 imeis are affected. in your opinion is this good enough to decide to keep the phone?

nope, not worth the risk,
So I got this Chinese version One ME. Since the firmware is some China Mobile modded system, its pretty useless as it is (no Google services etc...). From what I read the India firmware (0PLAIMG_HIMA_ACE_ML_DTUL_L50_SENSE70_hTC_Asia_India_1.11.720.6_Radio_1.1506V24P21.2008.0505_HDT[W.T]_release_437175_signed) should work on it. But I am stuck at the upgrade...
The phone is brand new, not used, not setup beyond putting going through the process to start it. I put the firmware on an SD card. I renamed the file to '0PLAIMG.zip' and put it in the root directory of the SD card. I then rebooted in Download mode and get to choose Vol up to initiate the flashing process. I then hit Power key to confirm.
However instead of going through the process, the screen goes blank - It switches off. I can reboot it to the normal system, but I cannot flash it.
I am wondering...
1. is this firmware not going to work?
2. Do I need to do a S-Off (and how do I do this? dont have a Windows machine)
3. Does it need a SIM card inside for it to update the firmware
4. Am I missing something else?
any help much appreciated!
I Think The Chinese Versions Hardware Is Different.Or Maybe It's A Copy.You can Try to Flash It on a PC or Install custom Recovery.

thanks, but as I mentioned I dont have access to a Windows PC. Whats this 'Recoveru' ? Is this a spelling error - meant to say Recovery? If so, where do I find a Recovery that works with this phone?
Thanks for correcting the spelling Error.My God I could Have Got arrested And Been jailed for About Eternity For That or Worse Hanged Till death.
Thank you for enlightening Me with the Gracious Knowledge of English.
You saved My Life And For That.Now To The Post.
Let's First Consider the chinese phones they have a completely different user interface and very often also a different hardware that better fits the Chinese mobile networks and might not work as well outside of China.
Google is also blocked in China, therefore you won't be able to access most google services on a Chinese phone and there is no google app store in the Chinese phone. For that reasons,Chinese phones are NOT SOLD outside of China.
People based outside of China should buy the ROW version of the phone.
Unfortunately, some people buy the Chinese phones, root them, modify them, add bloatware, and sell them online to customers outside of China.
Unsurprisingly, phones that are modified in such a way do not run the original version of the software intended by Lenovo. Cannot be updated to new software release, or if you update them you will end up with Chinese firmware.
Now for your Phone Custom Recoveries and ROMs are available But They Will also End Up Like The ROM.
But If the countries Have Matched Hardware Or The Phones are Specifically Designed For Your Area You might Succeed In Doing So.
But With Some Major Changes To the Hardware could Result In Some Bad Manner.
Now You can Backup your firmware on a PC and try To Unlock Your Phone Then Flash The Firmware.

I am well aware of that, as I have been living here in lovely China for rather too long... but thats another story. Perhaps consider for a second that I may have got this phone for a present, use it not only in China, but also outside, and believe I can make it work like any international HTC...

Right, so you mean it could work, but again, it may not. Perhaps worth trying a variety of ROM's if what I am doing is correct (the flashing procedure I mean). I guess I wanted to make sure I am not missing something in the flashing procedure, as I have never flashed a HTC before.
thanks anyhow! I do appreciate it

Having Exotic Hardware Do Mean Exotic Experience(Sometimes not In a good way)
Having a Chinese Device Doesn't mean You can't flash a Different Regional Firmware On it.Maybe The Firmware files Got Mixed During Downloading(Correct Term Corrupted).Sometimes It do Work.I had a Note 3 a Few Years Ago.I bought it during a Trip to KSA It had a Different Firmware KSA version to be Specific,I just Downloaded My region's Firmware and Flashed It via Odin.No Unlocking bootloader no S-off no storage Protection that is why I do prefer Samsung Or Nexus Over other Companies Due to Their Open Source Software and Having a Unlocked Bootloader and hardware Being Literally Identical In Different Regions.
