I bought a second hand S3 here in Manila.
It is locked to a certain carrier but its already unlocked when i bought it.
But i have a problem with the IMEI and SN.
The serial is 000000...
The IMEI is 3544....
The IMEI on back of the phone and box is 3539.....
The owner said its because of the unlock, thats why the IMEI was changed.
Anyway to fix this?
( Sorry for bad english. I hope you get my point. )
Return the phone back to the seller immediately.

Why? But I have signal.
Phone may be stolen is one why .
Two seller may have damaged EFS/ IMEI and its not repairable .
Three you have no Samsung warranty .
Its illegal to change a IMEI in most countries .

He bought it with plan to a certain carrier and then he paid for it to become unlock.
Can I install custom rom with this phone? Or flash stock FW?

Yes but it may result in no network .
Read the faqs and guides .
Reads to me as a stolen phone that someone has hacked or tried to change IMEI to sell the phone and stop paying the contract .
Thats due to IMEI numbers changed as opposed to missing or the generic one after a bad flash .

there are programes to change imel you can use it

So the way of unlocking of this device was illegal?

Nobody said that at all .
Changing IMEI is illegal .
IMEI problems are either no IMEI or generic 00049 type of number .
Your IMEI has been changed and that is illegal and why suspect stolen phone .

aw. What if I want to change it back to the original IMEI is that also illegal? So that my phone will be back to normal. I'm ok if it is locked.
BTW, can i flash some custom kernel or rom with this phone?

In an attempt to rush a reset I deleted the imei and boot through twrp. I finally was able to install the newest ROM but it still shows imei as 0 and it won't connect to the network. I tried to play dumb with heiwai but they weren't biting. So now I'm stuck with it unrooted and not being able to connect to my sim. Any other suggestions? I'm willing to send it for repair.:crying:

Well, if you don't have taken backup, for IMEI issue... You have to send it to HUAWEI Care. That's a bummer though.

I did try that, they told me they do not repair outside of warranty. I even agreed to pay and still no.

All I can say is that you have to buy another device if you want telephony, but you can still use your device as a media device (like an iPod)

Because while changing IMEI might be used for genuine reasons, it also allows for shady, not legal ones, and it is not allowed on xda.

Hello everyone, I have the lg v60 a100 (softbank) model and I installed lineage OS in it successfully with working network but working of banking apps were also important to me so I pulled the build.prob file and set ro.debuggable to 0 , pushed that file again using adb commands and rebooted the phone, after reboot my network was gone and WIFI was also not working and IMEI was empty, I am very badly stuck and I can't use my phone anymore for calling/surfing so I am seeking help , Kindly share how I can fix this Null IMEI in A001 model . Thanks in advance.

Kindly help me .I would really appreciate your help.

Latest Octopus Tool have added support to recover the IMEI of Lg V60 and you can go to repairing shop who have these paid tools. It will cost you around 30-50 USD and I believe you will get back your IMEI.

your IMEI will never get erased in the efs folder on modern android devices. if you know your IMEI no you quickly fix it through FTM

You can't repair the IMEI through the FTM partition for the AT&T variant.Believe me,I have tried countless hours and it doesn't work!Octopus Box is supposed to have a working method,but I haven't seen any proof as of yet!There is a so called working fix for the T-mobile variant,but never tried it.

Yes,I think Houtoo was having the same issues and he was doing it without the box with Korean firmware.I did find a T-Mobile IMEI repair,but you have to roll it back to A10 and re-write the partitions.I have it saved,but no T-Mobile variant to try it on.I have a USC V60 which is crossflashed with AT&T firmware I guess I could try it on?!?The USC and the T-Mobile version is basically the same phone firmware and hardware wise.

That's a good possibility!I'm in the states,and we currently can't use any custom roms because of the IMS settings from the carriers at the moment.AT&T is the worst!They went through their little 3g sunset b.s. and wiped out a bunch of unlocked,and non-AT&T sold devices so they can't use VoLTE.
