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.
Imei is also chnged

the only way to be sure . is to open your phone and look at motherboard it should have the model number they can change the software but not the numbers in motherboard plate.. that way youll know wich variant KDZ.

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.

I have both an SGS2 and a GT10.1 and the IMEI SV numbers are different, does it notify the network that one is Tablet only (no voice) or is it something else?
Thanks in advance.
I think it's kind of a ID. Like cars have. Cops can use the number to see if the phone hast been stolen and stuff like that
Sent from my MT15i using XDA Premium App
Each phone is manufacture with a unique IMEI number. It its used to identify that phone when it registers on a network. It can be used by the police to associated the device with a phone account, for example.
I think, however, that there ways to spoof that number on devices

Guys
That's the IMEI number. I asked about the IMEI SV number.

I read somewhere that it is just a software version. I have a Galaxy Note II (AT&T) and my IMEISV shows 03. Some people have said that it is a glitch from Samsung signifying that you have made unauthorized changes (ROM Mods) when you have not. One post said it had to do with his sd card containing something that is triggering this change. He said that he took out his sd card and the modified went away. I took out my sd card and it still shows modified. I then took out both the sim and sd card rebooted and it still said modified.
My phone is rooted. I did that just after I received it. When I got the phone (before rooting) the IMEISV showed 01, but just after I got the phone, my phone did a lot of updates from Samsung and AT&T. It may have changed then. I wish I had remembered to check it then we would know for sure. It stands at 03 now after rooting.
Bottom line, I am inclined to believe it is just a software version because the update upgraded me from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2. Maybe so of the more tech savy dudes can set us straight.
Regards to all
The version of the software that was used to 'write' the IMEI to the device.
I have been told your software can be checked by phoning *#1234#

Dumb question, I've no signal locked a phone and the imei sv on the boot loader says 02, any ROM , custom or not reads it as 01. I'm guessing that this is what's preventing my sim from registering the network. I don't want a way or how to do it. Just a confirmation in along the right lines of thinking,
Because no shop, no one on XDA knows wtf is wrong lol. That's the only difference I noticed and this post would really make sense, ALL methods used to flash the modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin would cause an SV 01. Which is the open source fastboot supplied to us, not the official engineering one from the factory.

On my working Lenovo P2 the bootloader says 02, but 01 is what's being displayed in the stock ROM. I can call, text and use the mobile internet. Has to be something else.
(I have another P2 which is broken and I'm trying to fix the signal)
It is the difference of number between IMEI 1 and IMEI 2
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 .
jje
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).
Hi,
I got this phone from a friend and I don't know the history of it but is unable to detect any SIM card and the Baseband and IMEI appear as Unknown.
Do you have any idea on how to fix it?. Thanks in advance.
i had the same problem on 850FQ i bought few days earlier.
I digged deeper into the Issue and found out when someone wants to unlock their phone it can be done by 2 ways ONE: with an unlock code which people can buy from many online sites TWO: Using some hardware device i dont know its name. The repair guy told me sometimes a phones IMEI is also changed during the unlocking process and if the process is buggy then it may also damage IMEI AND BASEBAND.
Unknown imei/baseband can also be caused by a damaged "modem chip" or it can be caused by corrupt "EFS AND MODEM" folder while flashing custom roms. But since there is no ROOT and No firmwares available for the "A" model i guess your corrupt baseband is either due to "buggy unlocking" or it is a hardware malfunction. People who have the same problem in F or other models can try restoring factory firmwares with odin (from sammobile) but the folks with "A" Model are out of luck. i sold my phone as a demo unit cus i wasn't able to recover its baseband and imei.
Try a factory reset without simcard inserted, see if the imei comes back. if not you may sell it as a demo unit or keep the device for camera and music needs

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
