Help,I'm stuffed![After loading WM5 my phone won't work.I get a message saying that it can't connect to network.I've not had it long and have not used the phone before apart from a test with a friends sim card (and it worked then)I've tried 3 sim cards in it that are all current but tu no avail,it refuses to connect.No messages saying it's blocked or anything so I don't think I've bought a stolen phone (how do I find out?).one message I've found says file "sim_mg"cannot be opened'either is notsigned wit a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found,could this be it?I'm OLD and my brain doesn't work too well with phone setups (carrier pidgions in my day) can anyone help?

You might has bought a stolen phone, ring up your network provider and ask them to check th imei. Alos hav you tried reflashing the handset back to its original rom?
thanks for that,I'll ask them (didn't really think of that as it has worked on my friends sim) how do I reflash the handset to it's original rom?I slipped up by loading wm5 and I don't have win2003 (why don't they provide a disc?anyone know where I can get a copy?I've tried Ebay but nothing there at all)I'd like to go back to wm2003 ,5 doesn't do anything for me ,just a lot of progs don't work with it (TomTom for one).Thanks ,Rocket
Right if you do a serach on the sit you will find out how to
Then on to your next point abou getting the actual rom, if you are a registered use and go to the ftp, you will find your self many differnt roms for your phone.
Refernce flashing there is aa slight elemeant of risk, so I for one would say read around in the forum and read the guide well before hand.
I'm trying to activate my new phone, but the custom ROM I'm using doesn't use the normal phone codes. I'm using NFSFAN's 6.1 ROM for the Vogue (HTC Touch.)
Anyway, does anyone know what program in the Windows folder is launched to program a new phone with its phone number?
I've already called my service provider and had the new serial number changed. I just need to put my cell phone number into the new phone - and I'm not sure where. The person I was talking to explained two places that I input it and then I'm ready to go.
Hi,
I've searched for this, but got no-where. Tried searching phone settings too, but no luck.
Summary: My phone thinks it has my old number (07854xxx) not the one I ported to (07736xxx) months ago - is it losing it's memory? . I'm guessing brain surgery might be required - but where do I find the number?
I'd be glad if someone could point me in the right direction.
Here's the detail:
I've recently flashed my ROM with 'Dutty's SENSE 2.1 HG R0 WWE' (which has turned my dull stock block into a smooth responsive machine - I'll be sending some 'appreciation' later on). I don't think that caused this though.
The only software installed since is Yomomedia, found out about it on this site- thanks.
My problem is that Yomomedia uses my mobile/cell phone number to identify itself with the phone. I've installed Yomomedia 3 times now, once after a (unconnected) hard reset (EDIT: I hadn't used Yomomedia before flashing, or noticed the problem). Each time it identifies my handset with it's old number (07854xxxxxx), when I ported a few months ago to the new one. I haven't told Yomomedia about the old number, and the phone has been flashed since I ported. I guess the old number is hidden in persistent memory somewhere.
Where is my phone storing this number? Can I change it?
I can't use Yomomedia to it's best advantage if I can't associate it with my actual phone number, plus once someone else gets the old number, Yomomedia's to be annoying them with text messages...
If anyone can advise, it would be very useful.

I flashed to Froyo 2.2 leaked the day I got my phone and never even knew about device ID. What does this mean for my future

You can always flash back to stock using the following method (see link):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Once you flash back to stock, write down the ID and then do as you wish. This is the only way I can think of right now in order to get your ID. However, I thought the Froyo 2.2 leaks only changed the Android ID and not the device ID. But in any case, you can always go back to stock and write whatever information you need down.
Yeah, the problem is with the Android ID. After flashing 20+ times now, I decided only 2 days ago to save my Android ID when I flashed back to JF6. Before then, I was running with the incorrect Android ID or randomly generated ID without a problem.
And the way I ended up getting my Android ID was flashing to JF6, and downloading the app "Android ID Changer" (no root required just to view your ID)
I still have a backup copy of my JF6 settings.db file on my computer from when I first enabled sideloading. Just so happens, it's also my backup of my Android ID.
So just a thought for everyone else who comes around this thread for whatever reason, if you have a nandroid backup of your 2.1 rom, just dump the data.img file and grab your settings.db, open it with your favorite SQLite editor, and nab your Android ID out of it.
Ok, let me make sure I know what we're talking about. I flashed my Captivate to the leaked 2.2. It's rooted and lagfixed.
So, in doing so I've lost my device ID? How does this affect the phone? I haven't noticed any differences.

You may have periodic market problems. There are some games that may not work.
If it is working ok for you then go with it for now. When you are bored with what you are on and want to change roms you should and probably have to flag back to stock. St that time you can readily retrieve your id using app android id changer
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
i had an issue where even flashing back to stock one click wasn't rest IMEI or ID (also had changed my product code to tmobile.
Regardless your originial id can be found in multiple places
1. i believe its on the label under your battery
2. if the label is unreadable if you registered your phone with samsung website log in you can see your IMEI.

The IMEI and Android ID are NOT the same thing. They are not related in any way at all.
If you mess up your IMEI there is no way to recover it or change it without a hardware device. The IMEI ties your phone to the carrier network and is used in conjunction with your SIM card.
This discussion is about the Android ID - it has nothing to do with cell phone networks or carriers, but it is used by games and the Market to identify your device. It can be changed very easily.

not sure what your referring to as hardware device. Mine was messed up after flashing one of the i9000 roms as was my product code. Many of the custom roms assign a generic imei when installed but is usually restore to original when one click odin back to stock. In one instance doing such wouldn't restore it.
Both were able to be restored using root manager and a hex editor to correct the nv_data.bin file.
Where do you find the device id anyway?

I downloaded an app called "ID" made by "Sora Takayama" from the market. That lists your SIM Serial, Device ID, Android ID and Subscriber ID.

Actually if you look at the first post the user asked specifically about their DEVICE ID (+ the thread title is regarding DEVICE ID) which is the IMEI as i understand. The Android ID is in fact different than the IMEI (DEVICE ID) and its possible he meant to reference android id but i was simply responding to the question as it was stated rather than reading anything into it.
So to be clear my understanding is
IMEI = DEVICE ID
IMEI does not = ANDROID ID
DEVICE ID does not = ANDROID ID
-------------
and +1 on the ID app...i am going to snap a screen shot of it to keep saved on external and hard drive so i have the info accessible if something gets messed up.
Sorry I meant Android ID
What happens if you ddn't write down your device ID when you got your phone?
A little Korean dude shows up at your house, rings the bell and then laughs in your face.

he already did that after the most recent "gps optimization" app released in the market
Hi,
I have noticed the following regarding the serial number of my phone (Huawei G500 pro - rooted - stock ROM)
When I go to System Settings\About phone\status i get the serial number 0123456789ABCDEF
But the sticker under the battery and in the package display a different one which looks like a normal 16 characters serial number.
I can only see the sticker's serial number when boot to factory settings (pressing power button & Vol -) in PCBA test.
In some other forums I read that the serial number can also be found in file /sys/class/android_usb/f_accessory/device/iSerial
In my case this file shows the 0123456789ABCDEF.
Does anybody has an idea what is happening?
Is there a way to have my normal serial number to be appeared?
Thank you
I don't know how to fix this but the same thing happened to me with my optimus v.

At least I ' m not the only one that noticed this. So you 've also checked and through factory menu or you compared with the sticker?
By the way are you rooted?
i have noticed that too on HTC phones and Samsung phones,tablets and tabs. turned to be all these chinese replicas that will bare the same look same software but different performance and lacking some software properties and features. especially in settings and camera. so now before i buy any phone, it has to be opened and i avoid any (0123456789abcdef or 00000000000000) serial numbers.
