Sorry if this topic offends some people, but if anyone can give me some info it would be very helpfull...
Really cant find anything...
Best Regards

You can't change it.
If the IMEI is locked, then the phone is most likely stolen.
I know it is stolen... Need to make it work...
REg
Oleg
OK...How do you know it's stolen?
And...what are you doing handling stolen goods?
Yes Yes Yes for the last time that soem one aks.
If you don't know how there is a reason for that. I.e you dont need to know how.
Yes you are able to do by i.e physically changing your imei, then there are other ways to manipulate the imei.
This is a clean forum, but on the same note I thought this was a forum, for educating and learning from others.
So there for every question should be allowed, but obvioulsy will nt be pursued.
Skas- asked if you can.
reply yes, no need to bag on some one. We are all grown ups.
My problem is that this person (who I think has stolen this PDA) is asking for our help in his criminal activities.
I personally object to that. I hate thieves with a passon. :evil:
If he is the thief, who does he think he is taking something that some else has paid for with thier hard earned cash? Sorry, it just makes my blood boil.
Rant over. :roll:
Hi The Brit,
I completely agree with you, but then again he might have bought the phone and then found it was stolen.
But I completely despise thiefs also. After all justbecause you have got off your backside and worked hard to have nice things. Some prat sees that as his incentive to steal of you. Wrong... get a job, go get educated anything that is an honest days work is a job. No matter what you do.
Well I did not steel this pda , but I can buy it very cheap and use it . If the person is not carefull enough to keep their stuff safe it is his problem... Some times thiefs steel stuff from me some times from others, it is life cycle... I do not have moral principles against it... Some how it is moral to unlock phone from operator(sim-lock removal is contract breach ie stealing) but not if it is banned. Guys who unlocked their phones please give them back or pay the operator 200 pounds for unlock.
All my opinion
Best Regards
Oleg

No moral principals against stealing?? What planet are you on?!?!?!? :x
I'm very disappointed that such immoral scumbag live in my country! :evil:
Let me assure the people in this forum that such geeks are not widely present in our country.
Just for your information, Oleg the Freak, sim unlocking and theft are not the same. F. i., I was attacked by a robber because of my PDA and the phone. Unfortunately, the robber was not cought, but my phone got back to me! and the person whom bought it from criminals had problems. :twisted: I strongly recommend you to think about buying stolen things again as you may get in trouble too.
Actually smarty pants, you need to read the wording of your contract. Mine simply says that I will use the equitmeant supplied by the air time provider with there sim card. However the kit belongs to me as long as I stay within my contractual obligations. I.e keep paying my bill.
Secondly all my handsets are unlocked by my provider or purchased sim free. So my dear fellow if you ever get mugged or robbed at gun point. It is your fault for not looking after your belongings. If you ever do mugged, I would actually laugh at you. You are rather a sad individual with no respect for others and their material belongings.

To everyone:
Ok guys lets stop this disscussion. Morals, well I wont go by on the street if some one is being robbed, but 95% of our population will but if something has already happened sorry... Moral principles are something everyone decides for himself... Just af far as he is willing to go... I feel very sorry for the person that it was stolen from, as I already said things get stolen from me too, sometimes... But in this case I will not call the police, neither will I keep the phone. Police is corrupt -- the person is unlikely to get the phone back, probably he will not even know it is there. Wont keep it because I do not need a PDA w/o phone -- simple.
Goodbye

Well guys... I got the full details of the main bloke mass-selling the unlocker in the UK... so, anyone out there with advice on the move to make next... or anyone who'd like to help?
I wish you good luck Olipro, it's very anoying that someone is mass selling your work
Unlocker
I unlocked my device using your tool and it was successful without any issues... unfortunately (or fortunately (dunno)); I'm not living in the UK but I would like to help thou if I can
just give your sign man
Burn the bleeder!!!!
Olipro.
I'd like to think i speak for all.....
The amount of time you and others have spent is outstanding... and you do so for the community for free.
Having some guy take this "free for personal use utility" and sell it.. amounts to ... lets say... theft... and well deserved for a good kickin.
I know that ebay will take action to stop anyone selling a product if there is a copyright infringement. .. don't know if that is a path...
But.. Branding the utilities.. and basically making it clearly written that it is not ALLOWED to SELL... and if they purchased it.. please contact the seller for a refund.. will make it a real pain in the backside...
As for existing on sale products.... I'd put adds in totally copying the listing.. and making it free!!! or charge a penny... including the line...
"why pay XYZ £x.xx for this unlocker.. when you can buy it now for a penny.. (or we can make it less than the other seller....) and make the payments all go to the actual developers paypal donations account!!!
???
I'm happy to do it.. (i have an ebay account i really don't mind burning...)
PM me and we can do this...
Wasted effort.
You guys could probably find something far more productive to do with your time than wasting effort on someone who is selling something that was given away for free.
Just like Monster (like redbull) has been running around, giving away cans of their product. Anyone who wants to can sell those cans to anyone who is willing to pay for them. There's nothing wrong with that, either.
That isn't to say, I don't appreciate your efforts Olipro, I do. But frankly, even if you charged for it, I would pay you because it's worth it to me. Without a second thought as to how you came about it, whether you wrote it.
I simply couldn't care less--neither do any of this guy's buyers. Why should they?
actually, i was aiming for a settlement, but if that's not forthcoming then I'll lodge a claim.

what kinda help you looking for? I'm willing to help you, just let me know what you need
If it is only one (or a few) bloke you have a strong case.
I don't know wether I can be of any help as I am living in Holland.
As Olipro has already admitted he cannot copyright or licence this as he has hacked the AMSS.
"Yes folks... the one you've been waiting for... finally managed to get the patched AMSS to boot... a nice big "up your arse" to Qualcomm."
A hacker cannot licence anything they hack as it is someone elses work in the first place. He is also using a patched Radio rom. This Radio rom is HTC property, and as such he cannot licence that.
These threads are getting very boring, it is about time Olipro got a life, and stopped crying about it.
Tinman
^ ouch did he really just do that?
Yeah he did. Only problem with his statement would be if he used Olipro's HardSPL at ANY TIME in the past or present for ANY DEVICE that he wanted to flash a cooked ROM to. Pot calling the bong green? Let's find out...
(insert sarcasm) Hey Tinman, ever flash a cooked ROM onto an HTC device before?
*sigh* Seriously... I support Oli's "right to fair trade". He along with many others developed the tools *we all* use to make our phones as customized as we can make them (big props to you Oli; HardSPL v1 for the Kaiser is on point!), and some pond water scum (he did say it was a bloke, right?) is selling his FREE programs?! Yeah, I'd be looking to "settle" as well. So don't jump down *his* throat saying he needs to get a life. Try the word "hobby", since for most of us that's all it is, and I'm sure cooking, flashing and ROM development is a hobby for him as well.
Oli, you've got support here in the states, especially with us AT&Tingular folks. Keep up the good work, and if you find the fool(s) behind this, shove one of those Cricket paddles in his arse for us! Or at least reach some sort of agreement...
It was Des who first made a hacked spl, Pof then took it a stage further, Olipro's is based on those. So again not his work.
Tinman.

That is the stupidest example I have ever heard. This is more like someone taking redbull and selling redbull as their own brand, not a different one because they did nothing other than copy the EXACT software, ass.

The stupidest example you've ever heard, eh? "Well, no offense, lady, but what you don't know could fill a warehouse." --Bart Simpson.
If you buy a can of redbull, or if redbull gives you the can for free, you DO have the right to sell that exact can. Or as many of them as you wish.
You do not have the right to claim the brand as your own, but you do have the right to sell the item. These ROMs, unlockers, bits o' software, et cetera are no different.
The seller cannot claim that he has a copyright on them, or that he wrote them but he is perfectly within his rights to sell them whether anyone likes it or not. Rest assured, he can and will still sell them w/o claiming that he wrote them.

Hey, wouldn't it be grand if HTC, and AT&T and all the other guys that own these ROMs, et cetera, sent thugs to send all of the cookers here into the Rio Grande swimming face down? You know, because it "amounts to ... lets say... theft... and well deserved for a good kickin."
Oh, wait, you don't want that? Why is that, do you think?
Maybe those corporations could all just file suit against these guys? Would that be better?
Or would it be better that, like they do now, they just tacitly accept this stuff and generally ignore it?
i think the only thing you can do is sell your unlocker at a low price and add in one thing that most of the other sellers wont probably do. Give exact help. What better for a buyer to see is that they are buying the item from the creator.
Unfortuanatly there is no legal way to stop these other sellers and as long as good guys like yourself give us free brilliant programs your gonna get the odd ar*ehole thats gonna make money off it.
And to thoughs who ***** about how oli, why read his thread why use his program. God sake if your smart enough create your own program, and i hope you get someone that goes and sells your program and see how you like it!
thanks oli for services to this forum
to the sobs who r hating on oli go to helll. the guy creates/improves a wonderful program and this is how u thank him???? oli i am greatful 4 ur work as i use it.
oli is not making money by helping people get liberation from their piece of **** oem spl/roms; therefore att and htc really can't come after him. seondly if it wasn't for hackers/developers u would not have internet as it is today. hackers weret he ones who built the www. so long live hackers and people like olipro and go to hell corporate lovers.

What are you 12? This is nearly incoherent.
No one is saying Oli and the rest can't do what they do, or that other people cannot use their tools. They're saying that once you release something to someone else--you lose control over it, be that some software you hacked, some can of redbull, a used car, or anything else. I love what they do, I pay them for it, and I would even if they charged for it. That doesn't mean that they can control what others do with it.
Yeah, um haxx0rz rulz lol omg!
I'm mrx3net's brother who gave free unlock codes to many members here.
I have a very sad news to all , my brother is on the hospital from sunday morning because he is now a victime of THE SWIN FLU don't know how he got it but it's a real disaster to our family, his wife and his little son.
Doctors said ; there is no way to keep him alive just to pray if GOD want to send a miracle .
I ask every one here in this great community to pray for him to get well ( I hope so ).
he had few financial problems before and i come from Israel for this to solve it we had 3 houses here in Casablanca/Morocco and we wanted to sell all and this the only way to solve all his problem and back to Israel and live a normal life like all the family...
I started this thread just because i checked his email and see lots of people ask for codes to unlock mobiles and usb modems , we were working together on this when we was at the university but he left me and come to Morocco to start his own project, everythings went will tell this year.
i Will not talk like he is dead but it's really bad to know that my very close brother to my heart fighting the death alone and doctors can't do anything.!!!
PRAY FOR HIM TO GET WELL
I ask all don't care about his religion , yes we are jews but we like all our cousins Christians, Muslims.... he never hurt any one
Btw my name is Shemon ,If there is anything to do with him ? Contact me directly.
my email: [email protected]
Thank to Intan Comp unlockmodem he's friend to give me his username to post here.
Pray for him please
We're all with him and his family mate!
Wishing him & the family all the best in a difficult time...your in our prayers.
We all are here with you with him and we are praying for him and hope that everything will be fine soon .
I will pray for him. All the best for the family.
With Hashem's help he will get better. The Hebrew people are a strong nation and hopefully he will pull through.

Now i will take the job and will give support to who ask for it and start new service for free here too
Another thing i opened this thread to let members pray for him to get well and back to the project again.
About IP here is dsl dynamic IP address it's change every restart of the pc

Please pray for my brother
thanks for caring about us

Even thought I do not know MRX3NET.
I wish him a fast recovery and strength to his family.
Great initiative of yours to continue his work in the meantime.
Very sad news.
I'm really wish your brother to get well as soon as possible
My prayers and wishes are with your brother and your family.
thank you all for supporting us, it's very nice to see nice members like you!
I don't know how can thanks you and this great community
Any news about your brothers status?
I hope your brother will recover soon. I assume you have discussed with the doctors the possibility of hooking him up to an ECMO machine if things start to look bad. It's not for everyone, but it saves lives. I don't know if there is an ECMO machine near where he is. But it is something to discuss and keep in mind.
I wish the entire family all the best.
I mean no offense at all, but swine flu isnt deadly, unless your brother had pre existing health problems (aids, cancer, weakened immune system etc..).
Swine flu is just a normal flu. Only very young child or elderly people could be harmed by it.
I dont mean to offend anyone, but i m just curious about this story.
Anyway, best wishes in all cases.

For the vast majority of cases - yes, you are right. However, there are documented cases of people who were young, totally healthy with no previous history of illness, and yet they died from the swine flu. In other cases (many cases), it is so mild, that it goes unnoticed.
So, chances are very high that - if you get it - you'll be fine. A challenging aspect is that up until now there is no way of telling if you will be one of the few that is hit hard by it (I mean if you are otherwise totally healthy). That's why it's important to keep an eye on your symptoms, and at the first signs of a worsening condition, you should seek medical treatment. There are antiviral drugs available, but just because you get the swine flu does not mean you should go on those meds right away. You have to weigh it out with the possible side effects of the antiviral drugs compared to your particular swine flue condition.
And to keep things in perspective, the regular flu kills far more people every year. However, we can better predict who is at high risk in that case.
Anyway, this is an XDA forum, so I won't go into medical topics too in depth. I'll leave it at that.
I'm sorry but I have to agree with guigui42. I understand that your concerned that your brother has caught it, but it's nothing big anymore. When it first kicked up it was, but in some countries this is a pandemic - In england it has been widespread... I've had it, and several friends and family have had it.
It's horrible to have, but it's very rare to kill you. I doubt it even counts as a lucky escape not to die, and feel the original post was rather dramatised. I really do not mean to cause any offense, but no, I will not pray for one individual that has it, when there are countries full of people,
oh and guess what people, there are still far more worse things out there like the AIDS pandemic, cancer, and even sudden killers like heart attacks and strokes.
My sympathy is for anyone that finds out they are a victim of one of them.
Hi all
Doctors said that his healt is stable at this time and he will be Ok in few days i don't have more info because they don't help alot here in this country everything must be top secret i don't know why
in the same hospital there are 5 men with the swin flu virus but they don't tell anyone even on TV
I'm currently running an HTC touch pro 2 and i still have my HTC touch pro. I turned my TP1 on the other day for the first time in many months and the phone picked up a text message, not only did it pick it up, it picked it up at the same time my TP2 did. Unfortunately it hasn't happened since.
What i'd like to know, is there a way i can emulate the IMIE number on the tp2, so that i can have both my TP2 and my TP1 working at the same time.
I want to be able to use my TP1 as a full data device while i make my calls on my TP2 or vice versa.
If you can't post the answer here for what ever reason feel free to private message me.
*edit it will recieve every txt message that is sent to my number but it won't send and it won't take incoming calls.
Good luck with that, cause that aint gonna happen. Well, at least not anyway that I can possibly think of. Carriers wont allow more than one phone per mobile number. They say it isn't possible, but I personally think it IS possible and that they just wont allow it. Technically, it should be able to work. But the problems would fall with the GPS. Even if GPS was on in one device while off on the other, they couldn't track someone if they wanted to. I'm sure there are other reasons to this. I have never heard of what you are experiencing. They probabbly didn't fully remove the old phone's IMIE data from the system, hence why you can receive texts but not send anything. What service are you on?

1) unfortunately telus.
2) The GPS on my phones has been completely deactivated except for when I want to turn it on. I refuse to allow someone to turn it on remotely, also in Canada that's akin to wireless phone tapping so the cops can't do it. And even if they could legally i'd still reprogram my phone so they can't.
3) That's my point. If they didn't fully remove it and my old phone can still get the txt messages that means they can re-add the old MEIE numbers back to the system and both should work. OR if i could put an emulator onto my phone or even hard code the MEIE number change on my old phone to the same as my new one...
Remember back in the day when cellphones were still a new thing, the brick and bag phones and so on, well someone figured out how to clone phones and the practice caught on like wildfire and since then has been literally outlawed. AS IN IT IS ILLEGAL TO CLONE ONE OR MORE PHONES TO THE SAME IMEI, MSID, DEC OR HEX SERIAL TO GAIN USE OF MULTIPLE PHONES ON THE SAME LINE AT THE SAME TIME. Not being mean or an ass to you, but I would research this a little bit and tread lightly on the subject. Stuff like this is not tolerated very well on xda.
Plus, now it would be almost impossible to do this with any carrier as the data the phone sends out is not just what you want it to. Whenever it connects to the network is sends and receives configuration data such as manufacturer and model among other things and will throw red flags if it doesnt match up to what the expected result of the data sent and received to the network and carrier has on file.
Again, tread lightly on this path.
"AS IN IT IS ILLEGAL TO CLONE" I'm serious, I'd like to see an actual Canadian law stating this. And if it's not illegal in Canada then it's a legit question. Well it's still legit.
"not tolerated very well on xda." Why? the whole point of these forums is to learn and teach people how to modify their phones. If they didn't want people sharing this information they should never have started this website to begin with.
As to my actual question and as to one stated answer
"They probably didn't fully remove the old phone's IMIE data from the system"
If it's still partially in the system that means it could be wholly in the system and means it should be able to be done. If they say it can't but i'm still getting txts on both phones that means the carriers are lying and are just making excuses to get more money. If thats all it is i'll do my best to get every penny out of them for every penny they're stealing from me.
Ok rant done, how do I clone my IMIE number? (no i won't tread lightly)

Your making a mountain out of a mole hill and there is a very real difference between a 6 or 8 hundred dollar phone and 15 thousand dollar plus car; unless you own both then i see no issue switching out the vin, as long as you own the cars.
as to being the against forum policy i challenge that on the simple fact there is nothing wrong with sharing knowledge.

Just search on google, and you will find what you need. There are programs like cdma workshop out there.
Hello,
from the positive atmosphere and attitude that they showed and the feeling of being on "our", users side, I'm sadly reporting that when it came to show it was just steam blowing from their ears...
They are just like everyone else, nothing special. Just another greedy company that does it's best to avoid any real responsibility and as long you are a paying "sucker" and make money tick, it's all fine. But hey, ask them for help and they will rather kick out your, no matter if you have 8 numbers/phones or not.
So when/if you try to lean on their words they do everything it takes to avoid ANY RESPONSIBILITY whatsoever and are rather getting rid of customers then take up a fight.
Because in their eyes, what are you? Just another sucker of their 180 million customers. Does this reminds you of any other company?
Yeah, pretty much all. You can be a customer for 10 years but don't you dare causing trouble.
I'm sorry that I raised your hopes for nothing. We are in the end on our own. But then, together we are still strong! :good:
I think I will start to make a list about all the cowardly companies we should avoid in the future and premier those who really are on our side and those who just pretend but when it come to show just push all responsibility away.

I talked with Telenor today since I did a search about their policy to rooted phones but didn't find any and I asked them what their warranty covers.
It seems as long as you don't touch the radio-part and by that meaning that you don't make a mess in their network and that your phone is bricked because you flashed something wrong, their policy is that they don't care if you are rooted, have a custom rom etc.
I have it confirmed in an email from a representative from Telenor. So I think this is very good news, because we can skip the Triangle-away if we get a hardware problem or any other warranty issues that is not connected to the software.
No more setting back flags to make it "look" untouched. He only asked that if we could, flash it with Touchwiz to make it easier for the people repairing the device.
Of course, here comes the worm. How can you prove it's hardware or software? Well, that is a problem, but I guess as long as you don't overclock as crazy you are safe.
At least I feel a lot safer knowing this. Don't know the rules of the other providers though but I think that you should take a look at their fine-print and call them.
As I stated before. We have a strong Consumer law here compared to USA. This would probably mean that tripping the Knox flag is not an issue in Sweden.

Lets have this kind of documentation out in the open :good:
So why not post the e-mail from Telenor so other people can use in case of any dispute
Removed cause it was a blatant lie.

Ifall din/dina mobiler går sönder eller blir defekta på grund utav din egna systemförändring/ändring så kommer våran försäkring som du har tecknat hos oss inte att vara giltig längre.
Dock om telefonen/telefonerna går sönder eller blir defekt utav en annan anledning som inte har att göra med någon form av egen förändring av mjukvaran så gäller dina försäkringar precis som vanligt.

Nice ... If any hardware component get faulty, your covered no matter what state your firmware status is.
I think this is common for all EU countries :good:
Maybe a bit like "My car insurance will cover any faulty physical parts, even if I don't use a seat belt when I drive ...".
Lie. The top was as hollow as Swiss cheese and it felt like talking to an eel.
Good stuff
Bra jobbat

I made a Poll some days ago ... link ... and nearly 150 persons (67%) have KNOX 0x1.
I think we will get a lot of feed back in near future, when people need repair.
At the moment some get repair without any question asked, and other is denied repair
Hey there,
A friend of mine purchased SG A52 4G from a dishonest re-seller who, by an odd quirk of fate, failed to mention it had originally been bought from a telecom provider on hire purchase. As you may presume the original buyer is not likely to pay the installments and as such my pal runs the risk of the deviced being blocked on a per-IMEI basis.
Do you by any chance know if there's any way around it and if so how to go about it? Should installing a custom ROM before the device gets blocked do the trick?
Return it or pay it off.
First off you misread my thread as I'm not a buyer..
There's no way to return the device as the dishonest seller has disappeared into thin air. Well, thanks for the very sage advice of paying it off. I'm ever so sure that if you bought a device and had already paid and it cost you a pretty penny then you would be willing to pay someone else's installments and pay for it twice. That helps! Thanks.
Altering the imei is illegal.
You'll get no help here to do that.
No sarcastic thanks needed... this was your own doing. Those are your two options.
Altering the imei or installing custom roms that render your warranty invalid are illegal yet there so many threads in this community describing the processes in detail . Hence the sarcastic thanks - apologies if I offended anyone - I didn't mean to do so.
And just for context and for the record - the phone was bought by a not-so-tech-savvy and gullible person but I'll just explain to her she can basically throw the device away and come to terms with losing something in the order of 200 quid.
Custom roms aren't illegal, they aren't supported by some manufacturers
IMEI change and legality, mods please read
Good afternoon mods, I'm sorry but I had to open a thread about this topic again. It's absolutely not illegal to change your IMEI in most of the world. For instance, it's completely legal in the entirety of the US (see...
forum.xda-developers.com
The device COULD be blocked. Doesn't mean that it WILL be blocked. You can't change IMEI, it is not legal to do so. If the phone does get locked, tell your friend to go to the telecom shop and tell them exactly what happened! That would be the best solution.
