Hey all!
One of my friend purchased a Galaxy S3 lately. He bought it online and the price was unbelievable. although I warned him not to buy but he insist when he saw the price.
Anyway, he realised that he can not update via Kies and also cant get the OTA. soon he understood, he was using a costum rom. Then he checked the IMEI and the result was suprising. that IMEI written on the phone and and system shows are totally different. he online checked the IMEI and it belongs to nokia 6600
now here is the question: is there any possibility to get back the orginal IMEI and install a stock rom?

No its illegal to clone IMEI and strictly forbidden to post about on XDA .
Your friend needs to return to the seller .If its not a stolen phone then it is probably a fake or blacklisted IMEI that someone has played about with .

OK I will tell you the whole story..in Turkey, if you bought you cell phone from a different country, for security reasons you should register that IMEI with your passport,and for once you should pay nearly $50 tax. or else the GSM provider blocks the phone.
I guess that phone was unregistered and the seller tought to solve this problem by cloning the IMEI with an old phone. I am saying old phone because that IMEI should only be one in the network. two same IMEI means two blocked phones.
all I want to know is there any solution to get back the original IMEI that written on the phone. I am not talking about the cloning the IMEI.
Connect your phone to your Pc, and watch out for a folder called EFS.
If you're lucky and the custom rom was installed had the function, the original IMEI was backed up to this folder. Find inside the IMEI data. and compare with the one on the phone. If they are different, you're a lucky *bastard* ;D
good luck
EDIT: But I cant say what file contains the imei. Just looked at my phone and couldnt find a file that contains it. Maybe some dat file or something like that. but it could be in hex

odds are that you cannot...
I suggest you contact the seller for a refund and/or your carrier in order to do things above board.

It is new and it doesn´t have an IMEI number?
Where did you buy it from?
Sounds really strange.
My Galaxy Alpha is not registered on network but it can read my sim and contacts. I want my original imei back but i don't have backup. Any solution?
Before making an account users should have to do an IQ test, or something similar.You must not be very smart for sharing your imei number.
sir, sorry that is not my original imei its a generic imei generated from flashing rom so I lost my orig imei which is 3560xxxxx
