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.

So you can download original kdz lg mini g2 by IMEI Lg first must have registered your IMEI, I also had this problem, Lg website page not detect my phone and my Imei, but I could resolve this after one month and two weeks i bought it and with that issue . On page lg (Argentina in my case) I created my account here https://www.lg.com/ar/soporte/registro-cuenta and then sent a written complaint in this page https://www.lg.com/ar/soporte/mensaje-atencion-al-cliente , that is in Argentina anyone can do it from your country on the website of Lg selecting your country, registering first and then and going to the contact part where it says E- mail and putting contact details, model equipment and claim , my complaint was something like ::
"I have the LG G2 D610 AR (you put yours) and when checking for software in the menu settings, software update tells me my device is not registered. I do not understand because I already registered in LG website. Could YOU register it properly and let me know when this is done? PLEASE my name is Araceli Redondo R ID 285746453 and buy the LG G2 mini model D610 (you should place your device) at a official local company Claro Argentina the day 6/10/14 (put date and your company) several weeks ago / months of that and it keep saying that is not registered) my IMEI is (you put your IMEI is in the device by removing the battery) and my S / N (you put your serial number is also in the device by removing the battery).
It was my last try i honestly didnt expect to find the solution, but well a email wouldn´t be difficult to do right? The next day lg sent an email telling me that they will send my data to synchronize the webmaster. After exactly a week of that email answer the not registered device message when try to search software update was gone! Now it says that the phone is updated !
I hope my experience will help you, Now I can download my original kdz Claro Argentina, I'm trying to upload it to mediafire to have it back and share it
I have. A. Refurbished. Lg v10. I want to know. My. Motherboard model. So i can update. It. Flashing. Wrong. Software will brick. It. I already. Brick. One.
You can extract your IMEI code dialing *#06 then go to THIS WEBSITE and check it... assuming that IMEI is legit, you can see model number etc.

Hi, I just bought a LG G5 recently on ebay... I was just checking in the hardware information's to register my phone on the LG website but my S/N section is empty ?
Is this normal ? It doesn't show any serial number at all... I can see the
Model Number : RS988
Up Time : 76:08:06
Life Time Calls : 22:26:16
Warranty date code : a date here
S/N : -Empty
Wi-fi adresss : adress here
Bluyetooth Adress : adress here
The only thing I found is a serial on the battery but not so sure it's the phone serial number since the battery is removable and exchangeable.
Is it maybe because I have the Unlocked version, and the RS988 is also Boot loader Unlocked ?
I just saw a post about someone getting the error "Please enter a valid IMEI number." when submitting phones to OnePlus for bootloader unlock for N200s.
Is it possible they bought used phones with changed IMEIs? I am trying to learn if that's possible, or not.

i know back in the day changing imei number was a thing. but nowndays you changing imei on newer phone will cause a very very hard brick. plus it's illegal to change imei numbers on phones.
imei nembers for phones is just like your VIN on your car. each phone has its own imei number.
no phones has the same imei numbers.
so if you change it
it will brick
